I think it's a pretty cute video, but I do wonder, is 'playing yourself' in The Sims that popular and common these days? It seems to be the main focus for the game in the last few months or so.
It's not the past few months. Since the beginning of TS4 they've been emphasizing being able to create yourself and family in the game. That's why they added all the skin tones, people were complaining they couldn't make themselves in the game. Now they just took it a step further and are encouraging people to express their "many selves". I wonder if that's an euphemism for multiple personality disorder.
It wasn't as pushed as it is now though, Sims 4 started with 'weirder stories' and emphasis on the quirky nature of Sims, but now it's on the sidelines and 'make yourself' took center stage.
I mean I get that but it does feel like it takes priority over having new gameplay and new ways to play (especially with the amount of kits we're getting in place of other packs).
This. I really really want the focus back on quirky weird stories again. I honestly have no idea why they are trying to push so hard for sim self and real life accuracy. They should have put their foot down a long time ago and made sure people realized "this is a video game" now I feel like they're falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit ? hole.
I really don't want to make family or myself. Maybe some people enjoy it but I don't see the point myself.
I want deadly swamps, cave worlds, zombies, (and any other occult) dragons, fantasy lands, amusement parks, fantasy CAS, midevial, tons of things for kids to engage in and stuff like that. Video game things ? I don't even give my Sims a race. Tired of the 24/7 racial differences people come up with in real life.
