i cant even

I don't watch any Youtubers, but I do understand you. I truly hope there are still some good expansions and gamepacks in the pipeline. Although I do think they are all heavily overpriced, the majority has given me a lot of fun... Star War just doesn't do it for me. It adds absolutely nothing to the franchise. Such a shame the wait for new content is a lot longer now because of this pack.

That's how I feel about family lets plays.

Same. I get so bored seeing so many people playing the 100 baby challenge.

Even worse, speedbuilds. So many of the YouTubers I usually watch have just been posting "I tried building a house in The Sims for the 76th day in a row!". It's so boring, do something interesting PLEASE. Even if I had zero interest in the pack I'd rather they played a pack I didn't like than just the same mediocre build challenges every single day for months on end. I barely even watch YouTube any more as they're all so boring and don't even play the game anymore or try to come up with interesting content.


I'd have to disagree with the post as if anything I wish more people were doing lets plays with the Star Wars pack. I've barely seen anything of it as nobody I follow has bothered to play it. The only person I've seen doing a lets play is James, nobody else I follow has even touched it other than to complain for five minutes and move on without even playing it or giving it a chance.

Tbf, the 100 baby challenge is not typical family lets play. It's a challenge.

@Dakota88 Also what does family let's play have to do with this thread. Still wondering why @CelSims brought it up.

Can we stop making click bait titles in this forum? The worst are the ones that end in I-.

Say the whole sentence, or just stop talking. It's the worst, most cringe teenspeak going on right now.

Yes, the Star Wars pack is crap. But don't click bait people into reading your opinion. It's annoying and rage inducing. Plus there's a whole thread about it already. Let's move on, don't buy the pack, and let the SW people enjoy what they have. Can we just agree to do that?

Because they're hating on family players and thought this was the appropriate place and time to do just that.

If someone creates an entire -and I agree with ‘click bait’ discussion- just to say: ‘I can’t watch Star Wars let’s plays, they make me wanna ?!’ while there are plenty of other threads dedicated to the same complaint topic (which they could have just followed instead) then you’re naturally inviting others to have said discussion about it.

You want a ‘discussion’? Let’s have a ‘discussion’.

Folks should feel free to compare the Star Wars let’s play with other let’s plays, including, but not limited to, family let’s plays.
Folks should feel free to express their opinion same way as OP does. Otherwise it’s just another ‘I agree’ thread.

The title is called: I can’t even...
Well. I can’t even watch let’s plays. I’d rather spend that time playing the game myself.

...

Funny enough I was fooled by the click bait and so here I am. ??‍♂️

I get the feeling the first person tried to pull of a good old occult vs. family gameplay, assuming that all occult players like the Star Wars pack (which couldn't be further from the truth) while implying that the person is only hating on the pack just because they are a family player.
That's what it sounds like to me.

Right, that's also what I think. And it's such a foolish thing to always think that family and occult players are against each other. Because lots of occult players ARE in fact family players and love to spice up everyday simlife with occult gameplay. They were vastly disappointed that children and toddlers aren't affected by the occult life stages at all (except for some cas animation). And that they can't have hybrid occults through genetics like in TS3.

Earlier game iterations gave every kind of playstyle lots to do. It was a sandbox game, so everyone could use the stuff that was released in their own way, no matter if you preferred to play occults, family, single sims, build, just do CAS or all of them. The different kinds of playstyles turning against each other started with TS4 missing so many beloved sandbox features (of the life simulation aspect itself) that were in previous iterations and trying to cater to a new generation of "casual" players, as if younger people would prefer to play single sims that party together and go on adventures. First of all, it's not true that all younger people like to play that way (I am sure also younger people would enjoy to play TS previous iterations more than TS4 because of all the details, if they had updated graphics).

And second: The people making the decisions for this game completely cannot see that TS is not and never has been, nor will it ever be a "casual game". It takes time to develop your story. It's not done in 20 minutes of playing after work like in mobile games. So there are lots and lots of people who HEAVILY play that game (real gamers), who buy new computers just to play the game, etc. (also this shouldn't be a requirement, but the game should also not be made to run on every possible carrot and potato and end up with such a limited game engine like we have today with TS4).

I totally agree with that. Am I sick of seeing all of the SW threads? Absolutely! I mean the entire first page of thread topics are about SW. This pack is not for me, I've said my "why I don't like it" in the complaining thread and in the Did you buy it thread. I avoid the SW threads because it just doesn't interest me, I'm not going to be swayed into suddenly liking it by reading what others are doing with it, because again ..... IT DOES NOT INTEREST ME .... and that's fine .... we each like different things. I don't begrudge them, if they like the pack and are enjoying it and finding that it was worth the money they spent, then that's good for them.

Had I known your thread was another SW topic thread, I would have avoided it too.

I get the feeling people just seriously enjoy stirring up drama. If something is a sore subject with people, let it heal and stop poking it and making it worse.

And the thing of it is, in almost every single thread now, regardless of the topic, negativity about the SW pack is brought up into that thread at some point, and then we're back to the whole us/them debate.

There is absolutely NOTHING you can do about the SW pack. It's over, it's been released. People complaining and fighting with others regarding it, is not going to magically make EA pull the pack from being sold. Get Over It! Stop watching YT videos that are about SW if all it's doing is making you "ill"! Maybe the next pack will be something you will like.
