Inside Maxis! 04/27 - It could have been a tweet...

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?

    OMG yes, that bugs me to no end! I am irrationally really really annoyed about this change. I want the old system back.

    Same. And I can't even make sense of what they were thinking, it's like they decided to do a redesign and didn't do any research at all about how the current system gets used by players.

    Also, putting a save button right next to a delete button is just... ??? I know UI design is hard, but I've been doing some of my own recently in a program of mine with little experience at it and that's exactly the kind of thing I've tried to avoid. Maybe having a bit of a hand tremor makes me more conscious of it idk, but I just don't get it.

    It's like there's no time allotted for quality control, just somebody is assigned to make something and then it gets released as soon as it's done.
  • Just as an update, the 6 new hairstyles will NOT be coming in the next patch update... So let's scratch that off the list of things to be excited for anytime soon.
