@Erpe I think that can be part of the problem with the Sims 4 is that it is being used to create a total perfect dream world. The problem with that is not everyone dreams the same or even want to play a game about a dream world. One person's dream isn't the same as someone else's dream. A dream of perfection is a nightmare in my book. I tend to make stories with a realistic aspect with a fantasy twist, so it is a mix of both which used to be what the Sims was about was a nice blend of fantasy and reality. That is what I loved most about the Sims 2 is it had a really good failure and consequence system to it which I think has been watered down with both the Sims 3 and the Sims 4. The Sims 1 had a nice dark and realistic side to it too. I guess for the future of Sims games I want a better balance. I don't want to see another Sims 3 Into the Future Utopian world like I did with the Sims 4. I want to see stories and a base that have a broader more relatable aspects to them using versatile tools to bring it about. I do have to agree that it does seem like majority of the people who work on the Sims 4 don't play the actual game itself so it can make it challenging to even to mention bugs to them and having it appear like we are talking a foreign language to them whenever the Sims 4 is even mentioned beyond just sharing pictures. It is helping that they have actually been streaming playing the game which just started last year. Besides the QA Gurus though, the ones that probably know a bit about playing the game itself just from talking to them, watching streams, and reading articles are SimGuruDrake, SimGuruSteve, SimGuruGraham, and SimGuruGrant. I mean Grant can be off-putting with public speaking with this iteration, but the guy knows his stuff generally. He is very easy to talk to when asking questions with when I interacted with him on Twitch which isn't an easy feat when there are over 2 to 3 thousand people in chat. He was able to keep up even with the repeated questions that were asked at least seven times. I think if anything I've learned from interacting with the Sims community is I can't pass judgement on someone else's word about anything, but I have to experience it myself and do my own research at times to get to the real facts about something. I guess when it comes to life or even the internet for that matter I like to reach my own conclusions about matters.
