Life and Death Negative thread

This will be the first expansion I do not buy. After a world wide pandemic killed so many and caused world wide mourning on an epic scale, I think this dark side expansion is macabre. New death types and new ways to mourn? A funeral party? An afterlife of more chores to complete, that were never finished during life? A "reward" of having to be born back into the game to do it all over again? Grim as a "nice guy" you want to emulate and then become? 

So the sims franchise's answer to what lies ahead is ... nothing but chores and the ability to recycle if you work hard enough. Lots of ghosts, but no angels. An eerie half life location where you wait to recycle, but no heaven.

One thing I have (previously) admired about the sims franchise is their ability to balance the light and dark side so people could choose to play either one or a combo of both. But this is decidedly glorifying ONLY the dark side, timed to Halloween. With no light side option. 

I had hoped for angel wings and harps, at a minimum. I had hoped for a "heavenly" realm to play in where dead sims got a new body to enjoy a new immortal afterlife with their dead loved ones. They could have at least given us that along with all the other stuff they wanted to promote. A bit of a nod to the light side for those of us who wanted to play that option. Instead we got TWO dark side locations along with one half life waiting zone. But no light side location. 

This expansion is more than a disappointment. It is the death of the sims as I once knew it. They chose to go dark.
