- It annoys me more when they scatter content across packs and when they focus on shine rather than content, as far as greedy practices go. Product placement like this? I can hardly be affronted by them advertising Disney or whatever when I know I'm giving my money to EA, act like something pure is being tainted.
I didn't know SW fans were planning on joining TS4 because of this now. I'm actually kind of surprised. I read someone said Eco had been like a move to draw environmentalists to the franchise lol but surely that didn't work out like that, did it? - A star wars pack, SERIOUSLY? What happened to hotels, farming, schools, weddings, babies, I could go on and on.
Don't get me wrong, I love star wars, BUT how does this concept connect to Sims 4? It doesn't. in my opinion.
I can see the development of such a pack as a different game from Sims 4 but I just don't buy into how this deviation will meld with my current gameplay. Sorry, I am completely lost! - SilentK008Seasoned Newcomer

@muzickmage ... Yet, at one time wouldn't you have been considered a newbie? Newbies need to start somewhere after all. So, I hope decisions are made to gain new players so that the Sims franchise continues. Some decisions will work and some will not--that's business.
I'm assuming Star Wars in the game does not appeal to you which is okay. Yet, it appeals to others. So, I'm personally happy when they add something I like. When they don't, I don't buy them. :smile:
Yes, at one time I was exactly that.... a newbie. And I would fairly respect the arguments from the veterans if EA decided to cater to me... while leaving them in the lurch.
And no... I don't like the idea of Star Wars being added to TS4. Star Wars as a game is great. I downloaded Star Wars Battlefront 2 during the demo stage but never went back to buy to game during release. I can only afford so many games and well... I have my favorites list at the moment.
The problem however, is not Star Wars. The problem... at it's root... is the neglect from EA to fix the many bugs in the game. The problem is the neglect from EA to add better story progression, genealogy, ramance system, and little things that the community would likely darn near jump off a bridge for... like bunk-beds, better color swatches.
We are missing so much for TS4 that the list is just overwhelming. And not all the ideas on the list are ridiculous, or unfair requests. Not for a 6 year old game in 2020.
We keep waiting, waiting, and waiting some more, while EA caters to a bunch of people who don't even play the game. EA doesn't take very good care of the simmers it already has.... how do you think the new players will be treated?
Hmm...
I would like farming, have been in the ideas-thread for that several times. Not into story progression at all as a rotational player but better genealogy, step-parents being recognized is much needed. Think they are doing some sort of low-key...very very subtle... chemistry right now because some sims sims work great together and some sims you really have to work to get the romance- or friendships-bar to move. I hope we will see a romance-pack one day, have been posting in that ideas-thread as well.
However, in my opinion the pack does not only cater to new players. It is right up my alley and will mix well with ROM, Strangerville, Vampires. Jungle Adventures was also different and fun. Expansion Packs are always realistic only so that is what I would expect to see later this year. Nifty Knitting was nothing but wholesome family stuff, it works really well with my stories. It is just so odd to me, I feel like I have been here enough years to be a Sims Player and spent enough money to be called loyal. I have given feedback earlier that for me as a Sims 4 player things can be too ordinary, that I would like to see more fantastical things added.
I would definitely like to see more bug-fixes and I try to help out on the tech-side if I have a save that is needed. Only happened once so far but I click “me too” for every bug I have so that there are stats. Even if the game pack was a different theme it would not have fixed all the bugs or added all the things. It is a bit strange to see so much anger out in the forums while oneself is happy. I get a new pack for a game that I really love. I will still continue to ask for more focus on bug-fixes, that is also why I don’t update my game straight away with a new pack. I like to see what the forum says first. - Why is the person in the cover photo still making that same dumb face they all do? ???

Yes, I never understood before how many times devs actually have no say in pack theme decisions. What she says about it bringing new players which could ultimately benefit The Sims franchise as a whole makes sense too. ETA: I know my household is a two generation Star Wars fandom, myself and my son and I am sure we aren’t the only one.
Ok and also EA needs more money?!?!!!! According to them TS4 is incredibly remarkably awesomely unbelievably selling so outrageously so! So muches fans and monies raining on the house of EA! ?
Giving the game away for free and for $5 all the time notwithstanding!?- CAPTAIN_NXR7Seasoned Hotshot

Did you watch the video at the start of this thread? It’s for those who are completely lost.
I have to say the lady is constantly repeating herself within those 17 minutes, but she makes some good points and explains why there is Star Wars in the Sims. And really that’s all there is to say about it, whether we like it or not. - I listened to the video, blah, blah, blah. I already know about corporate goals but that does not justify their decision nor negate my feelings about this pack. 'If I don't like the pack, then don't buy it', that is pretty rude. I can obviously do that but we can still comment on this without retribution, one would think. The video is so much fluff. She basically said nothing.

When it comes to large multinational corporations, too much money is never enough.- Karamazov123Seasoned AdventurerWas it confirmed anywhere that the devs had this idea forced on them? It definitely sounds like the most likely option, but these are the same people behind Eco Lifestyle and StrangerVille. Plus there's at least one Star Wars super-fan on the team, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have more.
- Lonewolf1044Seasoned SpectatorI do not mind an pack with Star Wars, it is just how it may be implemented as an whole. It may be as limited as CL, El and Strangerville were as you cannot use some features in other neighborhoods. I am not angry as EA/Maxis can do whatever they want with their product but for me it will not be worth no $19.99 and with limitations too.
