Am I the only one that was extremely underwhelmed by that Inside Maxis! livestream? They basically said the patch it out, showed the two hairstyles, one new and one updated, and that was about it.It's great to hear news on the updated big afro, adding 6 new hair colors (which people already knew about) and it's fantastic they're adding a ton of new preset eyes for Asian representation but those are all coming out whenever they do the new patch. Also, announcing a new Kit and Game Pack is right around the corner isn't really news either. It's The Sims. Of course we'd be getting new packs soon and of course they're going to pump out cash grab Kits.There was also no new console news which I may have been reading into it too much but why on earth would Xbox comment on The Sims tweet about their livestream if it has nothing to do with them? The packs aren't on sale again on Xbox which would have at least been my most basic guess.All of this information could have just been tweeted out or posted at the top of the patch notes. Why set up an entire stream for 20min of (in my opinion) nothing?Share your thoughts below and please remain respectful!

I didn't watch because I've already watched a few before that left me wondering how I could get my time back. I haven't updated yet, but from what I'm hearing, the patch sounds nice-but-underwhelming. I do look forward to the coming news on a new GP, of course. New kit, not so much, but I'm curious at least.

Not only the stream should have been a tweet, but they also have completely messed up save/load menu. Old one was WAY better.

I enjoyed it. It would be nice if there was a summary blog for those who don't want to waste time watching.Plus the chat comments are hilarious. ?

I don't now, nor have I ever used Twitter and that will never change. That being said, I usually just read the patch notes :) :D

Really? What did they do to it?

It used to list all the packs, stuff and EPs you own and don't own. They totally revamped it when Snowy Escape came out(or shortly before it).

I liked it, the stream was short and professional. We got to see a bit more that we will see in the next update so I think they did the right thing to show it on a livestream.

I have no idea why xbox tweeted at them though, maybe because they plan to do something with them in the future like offering something through Xbox Game Pass or something.

They changed it so the delete button shows before clicking the saved game and the save option shows up when you click the saved game. I have to pay attention when saving so I don't click delete by mistake.

Oooh now that would be something. It would be cool if are subscribed to Game Pass and you got to download all of the packs for free. I think you only get discounts to buy the packs now.

It's been on Game Pass a while now, is it just the base game? Usually GP does add a few DLCs to the games.

It's just the Base Game. All packs are 10% off which let's face it, is nothing haha They should make all the Kits and Stuff Packs free for Game Pass.
