Make-yourself-simulator vs dollhouse simulator
Has anyone noticed the shift in marketing? It seems as if they're catering to a very specific kind of escapism.

I'd also love a new Sims Medieval, playing up the fantasy elements way more. Contrary to popular opinion, that is. But it absolutely flopped sales-wise, so it's not happening
My problem with Medieval was the fixed perspective and the complete change of gameplay. It was what first turned me off of Strangerville btw (now I actually like the expansion and especially the world); I was had bad memories of the whole "point and click adventure" thing that Medieval had going.
And I think that was the reason for the flop in general; it was not the Sims. It was... something else. The humor was on point, the character design was on point... but the rest? It was a very shallow point and click adventure where you could not actually build your own castle but just peek thru the front windows of it.
