So I see lots of people are disappointed with the new pack. I'm one of the (apparent) minority who love it as it is, so as I haven't seen a thread like this yet, I thought I'd start one. I love th...

Happy players spend less time on the forums. I have to say that I tend to read through the complain comments and then don't add postive arguments to the discussion on a negative tread because that would only anger the antis. Those players don't want to hear that other people enjoy content, they want to vent and meet others of the same opinion to vent in company.
Sims 4 is great for me (even though I want more building options) because I am not a 'theme park' player. I don't like content with ultimate end-game and level restrictions and fixed adventures on a string. I love to invent my own stories, switching between solitay Sims spending all their life in their garden, then play some ultra social character and switch back or to something new and cheer whenever I meet the currently not played on an outing. I don't need the game to tell me that Introvert Sim is uncomfortable. Nice if it does, but I don't need it and I don't expect it.
I use this as an example because I have both type of chars on Sulani and was amused when I visited a beach with my extrovert and saw the other one. He was having fun (which is out of character for him) but that only meant for me as the player that my active character, who knew the other, knew (as in: story in my own head) that this was hinky and I played it that he talked to the friend because (again, in my own imagination) he feared that someone had slipped introvert a roofie or too much kava root beer or something.
I love that we don't get a translation for simlish, it can mean whatever we want. Sims gives me a lot of tools to create the stage for my stories, throws in random outside impulses I can ignore or use and that's what I need and want.
