Editing the Studio Lot

Their idea of looking better and mine is two very different things too. It really never looks a lot better from what I have seen in videos anyway.

It's like living in someone else game or house - I could never get comfortable living like that in real life - I like to be surrounded by my own ideas and things - not someone elses. That might be fine for young players who have never had their own houses or apts - but not so fine for adults that decorate to suit themselves. It's how we each make a home our home - and in this case the game our game. It has always been what the Sims was about - and now it's not. Eventually there is going to be nothing left of what has always made the Sims - THE SIMS!

It's just plain sad to me to see what it was and what it is - as eventually with the AI empowered game control/build, people are going to tire of the lack of creation - as it just keeps getting worse. Used to be creation was at least half of the game. Now the game creates it self and in ways not a lot of us appreciate, or player friendly, or worse - even like.

Well yes, I agree with you. That was my original point. That there should be a cheat for us to use to stop the studio from rebuilding itself constantly, or to just limit what their rebuild to what is necessary-- the stage. The rest of the rooms should be in our control.

part of the reason why their lots suck is because they're limited to basegame + get famous. They can't use stuff from the vintage glamour stuff pack, for example, and because of how they coded the lot we can't, either. Someone else was saying about how the gym lot has a yoga studio?? but because the yoga mats are limited to the spa game pack then people with just basegame just see regular rugs there. It's ridiculous.

And now I just read in another thread that the lounge looks JUST like a cinema... ugh. It's like they're forcing the players to buy the other packs. You want yoga?? Get the spa pack! We already have the room ready!! You want to watch movies in the cinema we built??? Buy the movies pack!!! even though there's no dedicated cinema lot so even if you put a screen there sims will just stand around.

That shouldn't be the case. They should have been able to make interesting lots using items from GF. A modeling branch with a walk way... a performing center for live theater, music, ballet... things like that.

This game is so frustrating for me. I desperately want to like it but there's so many ways it falls short of what it should be I just feel cheated by continuing to support it.
