now, let’s talk about the mermaids. i’m glad that we finally have a new playable occult. but there’s still some bones i need to pick about them mermaids. there’s no underwater lot as their natural habitat. they can’t swim underwater, i mean like under the water. i don’t like how they’d need to gasp for air every time they swim. and how they sleep on the surface really annoys me. aren’t mermaids supposed to sleep on the seabed like how dolphins do, are they suicidal or something? the absence of underwater gameplay made me sob and choke myself like i’m so done for this.
No I agree 100% with you. Well said.
When I read the part about their budget for the game and them having a heap of money, all I could think is "the Sims 4 is EA's cash cow to fund other games".
I totally believe they're given a budget (a very small one) and are told "do as much as you think people will pay for and nothing more" "save money where possible, recycle where possible & remesh where possible".
And as someone who has played/owned every Sims game since the Sims 2 (and Sims bustin out on PS), I can honestly say that brings a tear to my eye and a lot of cringe.
It honestly feels like they're discounting every person who played any other sims game. And are just appeasing those who's first game is the Sims 4. Maybe there's a bigger market there?
100% agree with the mermaids. It was cool to get a new occult type but missed a lot of practicalities, such as eating kelp in the water as food, being able to fish/hunt for food and swim under the water. And seriously what gives with the advertising of "evil mermaids" that can drowned sims. They cannot. I've already made another post/poll about the dissapointment that is that lie. So salty about this tbh.
This so much, it honestly feels like they're deliberately chopping up full expansion packs into littler packs. Like half of the SP's could have been put into the EP's or GP's. E.G Movie Stuff could have easily gone into City Living, but nope, it was chopped up into a smaller pack so that EA could make a little more of the precious $$ (It's so freaking obvious that My First Pet Stuff was supposed to go into Cats and Dogs but was deliberately held back for the sake of the almighty dollar XP).
It's enough to make you want to cry or scream into the void, maybe both.
