Yeah that's the same type of person that bought everything from the store with real money without thinking about it I guess :D I'm not saying there are no dense simmers, I'm just saying that not every person who likes NK or TS4 is one of them ;)

(This only answers to what you typed before editing of course ;))

I don’t see where @SimmerGeorge implied that anyone who likes NK or TS4 is dense...

But you're not seriously trying to argue that TS3 was cheaper are you? Because it really wasn't ? every SP cost 20 and I own almost none of them either because I think modders do a much better job with their CC than most TS3 packs ever did in terms of objects and clothing. The store, if real money is used, is also ridiculously expensive, and the EPs are the same price.

Also thanks for explaining basic economics to me as if I had no knowledge of these things. ? Your argument is : even if you enjoy it, don't buy it cause I think it's expensive! Yeah no thanks, as long as my purchase equals hours of entertainment I'll do as I please, thanks ;)

@SimTrippy Girl nobody is forcing you. Of course you do as you please. It's just a different point of view I think it is important to share with other people.
And yeah I am not implying The SIms 3 was cheaper (even though EPs did cost 35$ back in 2010 i think). I'm implying all packs came with more content which is what you pay for or at least that's how it feels to me.
But do what you want. I'm just sharing. And if hours of entertainment is your only criteria that's fine but for me personally I bought a Lady Gaga album for 20$ but I would never pay 100$ to buy it even though I spent hunderts of hours listening to it.

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!"

First of all you don't know what I'm about to type. Secondly it's not just two people who think that. Just go to any of LGR's videos and see that people agree with him, read the top comments idk. If you've never been on YouTube or Instagram you'll be astounded of what you're going to find.

@SimmerGeorge

If we want we could consider ‘Two’ people as ‘hypobole‘ which is the opposite of ‘hyperbole’.
But even if 50k people believe they are right and smart, it doesn’t mean that 1 person is wrong and stupid.

Not saying you specifically said that. Just leaving it out there.

The Sims 4 forums do tend to be more Sims 4-friendly since you know, it's the official Sims 4 forums.

With all due respect, I haven’t been here for that long but I’ve been here quite often and I can count the people who are super content with TS4 around here on 2 hands. Maybe take 1 hand away.

What I’m really saying is that I sometimes need to hoist myself into a fire resistant suit before I log into The Sims 4 forum because, man, it sure can get hot in here. ;)

Look I agree that TS3 packs were great content wise. No argument there. On the downside, I never thought they integrated well with each other. And back then, very few people could play all the packs they owned at once.

But to take out the sarcasm a bit: yes, I also think TS4 needs competition, and that a monopoly is never actually a good thing. But in that sense, everything you can possibly accuse 4 of (bugs, overpriced content, locking away items) has been there since TS2 ended. Do I think it needs changing? Yes. But I do find it very hard to put my finger on what exactly the correct price and content schedule for this type of game would be. Since I don't want empty packs any more than I want packs full of buggy stuff that doesn't work well together, because no, more isn't always better.

If anything, TS3 and TS4 make me wonder if simulation games with this level of free choice and this many interconnected content systems can ever be completely bug free unless everything is there from the beginning. And I don't want to know how expensive that game would be.

I mean, visually, a game like TLoU looks light-years ahead of TS, but it's also an extremely linear experience. TS is a very unique breed and I think that doesn't help. Makes me curious to see what exactly Paralives will bring to the table.

@SimTrippy I think by 2020 we can have a game packed with content and also less bugs. Technology has come a long way and systems can handle more. The devs could also try fixing more bugs. But this is also a reason why I agree with LGR that the Sims 4 has overstayed its welcome. It's not really terrible, it's just that it is from 2014 and technology nowadays could do it so much more justice.
If anything fixing the bugs should be a top priority and they have been neglecting that since the Sims 3 days. The Sims 2 was much better in that aspect because it wasn't patched every week. I think it was patched once for each EP.
This is a bit irrelevant to NK but LGR did mention this in his review.
Finding the correct price is difficult since there are no other similar games but with the things gaming can accomplish nowadays it is safe to guess that there is room for more within the budget.

Im getting lost, now is this one hyperbole or hypobole? ?

That's correct.

Well comparing one thing to something worse is another way of trying to defend it.

Like I said previously are we going to get more in depth pooping in a 10$ pack as well?

Seriously? You’re going to compare knitting to taking a dump, while telling us what we should and shouldn’t compare the game to?

Me. I prefer Carl's reviews as he actually plays the game and produces guides to help us. He hasn't provided a review for this pack (yet)? but I've found his videos very fair on others and he reports the bad as well as the good.
