@Deshong04 We mainly agree. But what I usually have a problem with in all such discussions is:
1. Most simmers stubbornly thinks that EA and Maxis just make the games at random and almost on purpose try to make the games bad. I don’t at all agree with this.
2. In my opinion EA makes the games just to earn money and EA tells Maxis who the target group is, what the budget is and what EA thinks is important to get high sales numbers for as little money as possible. The games aren’t targeted at experienced simmers at all and they are only meant to be played rarely and shortly just like children and young teens usually do. EA focuses on SPs because they are cheap to make and sell best because young simmers more easily can persuade their parents to let them have them.
So no. I don’t have high expectations for TS5 either because TS5 will have the same target group and likely focus even more on SPs than TS4 has done.
BULL!
Why? Don’t you agree that TS4 focuses more on SPs than the previous games ever did? And less on EPs?
Have you seen any simmers ask for that? Or am I right that EA made that change on its own just because SPs are so cheap to make and sell so surprisingly well?
Yes I have seen simmers ask repeatedly since Sims 2 and we first got stuff packs to have some animated objects in them and make them even cheaper priced. In sims 3 - not everyone could afford the high prices of the Sims 3 store - and did not like using CC in their game so their only content came from eps and sps - only people with less money to spend on gaming also could not afford 20 dollars for a stuff pack with nothing but a few items - none of which added any game play in most packs. Many of these same simmers are still here. Many of these simmers can sometimes afford a cheaper 10 dollar stuff pack - and with having each one contain new game play - the sps do expand their games - give them new stuff - when many of these same simmer cannot buy eps at 40 bucks a pop (same price most were usually in Sims 3 too) so at least they can add to their games now and not just be stuck with a base game.
So yes for many years some players did ask for them and now they got what they asked for - stuff packs they can afford that gives them some new game play. As someone who buys everything for sims - I can still be very happy for simmers who by no fault of their own can't be like me, and now they have a chance to actually get some game play - and more often than every before - at a price they can sometimes afford. How can you want to deny these players - by demanding they cut down on sps or get rid of them or demand they stop putting game play in an sp because you would rather all that be in more eps a year? Why so these people I am talking about get no new game play at all.
You have a choice to buy or not buy what ever from the way you talk all the time- not every one has your advantage. Think outside your own box and yourself. I am very glad we have 10 dollar stuff packs with added game play. Pardon me for loving things that make others happy too.
Hey if you don't like sps - don't buy them - but don't deny folks finally getting something they have been begging for - for over 10 years.
Well. I haven’t seen people ask for more SPs. Only for more EPs and here in Denmark nobody are so poor that they can’t afford an EP if they want it (with the exception of children who still live with their parents). I know that the differences between rich and poor are bigger in the US. But I wouldn’t have expected them to be that big anyway :(
