I'm pretty excited for The Sims 4 Moschino Stuff Pack but I wasn't too happy to seeing Joey Graceffa in the trailer. I was fine with The Sims having him announce the Pride items but I do not need to see him invading more aspects of The Sims.I know this seems like a super trivial thing to be upset about but I feel like The Sims team relies too heavily on YouTubers to sell their products for them. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth watching The Sims pander to people that already make a pretty decent living off their videos and allowing them to profit more off their product while I feel like all of us on the forums are constantly ignored.I think the clothes from the trailer look fun and unique and I am looking forward to getting this pack. Will I buy it full price at release? Highly unlikely. But it will be a pack I'll keep my eye on for sure.

As usual I have no idea who that person is.

I agree. I don't like seeing real people in my Sims content at all, especially in game.Joey Graceffa, Baby Ariel.. I mean who really cares? Its like they've started marketing this game exclusively towards 13 year old girls? I expect a barbie crossover next.Also, what on Earth does Joey Graceffa have to do with Moschino clothing anyway?

It just seems icky to release a Stuff Pack centered around a clothing line that presumably the majority of Sims players can't afford and using someone that's probably rolling in money promote it. Especially coming after their Sims 4 play with life video that included everyday people.I know they've used Katy Perry before but at least she fit the brand for The Sims 3 Showtime.

Even though I think they could have used less of the footage of real people in the trailer I have to ask, what does it matter if it's a youtuber or a model? This pack is literally a push to sell you not only a sims product but Moschino clothes as well. Also just a general reminder for everyone, teenagers are typically the demographic for many entertainment products. They have the most disposable cash and so of course they want something that will interest them. If that's a youtuber who is popular in that demographic then that's what they're going to do.

Leave YouTubers out of our trailers please

I get that it's a collaboration to push to have us buy Moschino as well but let's be real, the majority of Sims players cannot afford Moschino clothing. If there's a teenager out there that can afford Moschino then more power to them. At least The Sims 2 Ikea or H&M Stuff made sense in that it was stuff its players can afford.

I don't think it's the idea of affording Moschino that they're selling. I think it's more about the fact that they'd be clothes youth are interested in. I think teenagers are more likely to dream of owning a wardrobe from a fashion designer line even if it's not particularly a viable way of spending money.

I didn't like the RL people in this trailer either, but I have no idea who that specific person was. I liked how they did it for Get Famous, where they made GC's into Sims themselves.

This pack could pair well with Get Famous in that respect -- more stuff for my celeb Sims to wear. I'm more interested in the freelance photographer career that was mentioned on The Sims Twitter account. And I didn't even notice the person you were talking about.

Tacky on another level. I just feel like it’s all a SJW agenda at this point with all these promotions going on in this part of the franchise...
