@SimTrippy Girl I ain't trying to change anyone's mind here. if you love this stuff pack go ahead, do your thing. I am only saying sometimes, some Simmers don't look at the whole picture of what they are buying but rather the one small detail and I just wanted to maybe make some people aware of that, as LGR also does. If you are aware of those things and don't care, well that's something you should be at peace with.

Sentences like these would be far more credible if they didn't follow statements like this:

But the question is how can you be interested in knitting?

Stuff packs in the Sims 5 will probably be like "The Sims 5 poopy toilet stuff" now with more in-depth gameplay than ever!
And people will be like "yeah we had pooping in the previous games but never as fleshed out so I will gladly pay 10 bucks".

Don't insult people's intelligence, and they might be more inclined to engage in these discussions with you. No, I would not pay for or defend a pooping pack any more than I'd pay for 95% of the TS3 store content, on which I've spent exactly 5 euros and not a single cent more. You know why? Because I do exactly what you keep accusing TS4 simmers of not being able to do. I look at the content, see how much is in the pack and what value I think it brings to my game, judge if I think it's worth the price, and then buy it or not. Now, this could tell you 2 things but you'll only focus on one of them.

Here's what you're probably about to type: "Just because the TS3 store was bad doesn't mean it's okay for TS4 to have so many SPs! That is what LGR says and because I agree and two people have this opinion, I must be right!"

Here's what it actually means: if I though TS4 SPs were as bad as, or strongly comparable, to TS3 store content, I wouldn't buy them. It's that simple for me. Because although the TS3 store has some good things, most of it is ugly (to me, personally), stuck in what are quite essentially lackluster packs as well, and actually lock a lot of gameplay I would've liked to have in TS3 (like farming items). Which makes me wonder: if we do actually get a farming pack in TS4, will people finally be able to see that just because an item didn't come with the exact same pack as last time, it won't automatically be part of a "bad SP"? We didn't get a bug farming SP, did we? Or a herbalism SP? Or candle making?

Look, I respect your opinion. Trust me when I say that I can be PLENTY critical of this game, and generally really like LGR's content, I just don't feel the need to agree with everything he says (kinda like I think Supernatural is one of the best TS3 packs ever, he definitely wouldn't rank it very high). I've been perfectly able to make my own decisions for my past 20 years of gaming, so please stop using condescending statements about what I, weak TS4 simmer, would accept as content from EA because I'm oh so desperate, or that I "just don't see what EA is doing to this franchise". I will never understand why some people think we're just blindly defending something for no reason and that no one is actually enjoying this game or actively playing it because "it's oh so boring" when my nearly 2000 hours of playtime (and I started 2 years late) not just suggest otherwise, they're a number no other game I've played so far can really match.
