“Don’t knock it until you try it”
Honestly, this reminds me so much of Get Together’s release. It’s unreal!
I’ll admit I wasn’t sure about the pack at first as I didn’t really understand what made it expansion worthy but now I completely get it. Yes it’s recycled content but look at the Sims 3. They copied nearly every animation from the Sims 2 in the base game! In fact they only managed to create horses in 3 because they recycled the cat and dog animations from 2. This is the reason why 3 feels ‘fuller’ and feels as though it has more content but really when it boils down to it it’s just as recycled if not more. The dance animations, anyone? I was so disappointed when I saw those for the first time in Sims 3!
I honestly believe if this had been the country pack that was leaked we would NOT be having to have this conversation right now. I’ve literally had nothing I voted for in these surveys (weddings and science pack) but I wait because “patience is a virtue” and I have faith that the team will eventually, hopefully get around to implementing what I’d like. If they don’t, so be it but I’m not going to lose sleep over it and start internet wars because of it.
