Money over what matters: Why we need improved babies and build options instead of magic.

Call me a hypocrite, call me selfish, call me a plum narb afoo because at this moment, I’m questioning a lot of the sims teams trains of thought.

Realm of magic, a throwback to a classic i and plenty of others wish they’d experienced back in the day, yet, as excited as we are, myself especially, why are EA releasing a new game pack when the base itself barely has anything going for it? Cosmetic wise and item wise, the sims 4 is beyond lacking, and it’s mostly thanks to the amazing simmers out there that we’ve been able to think up new ways to use what little we have to work with, which isn’t as awful as it sounds but, what happened to quality? What happened to listening and giving us what we want.

Yes, I speak for probably a small number of sims fans, however, as feedback allows us to do so, I feel the urge to speak out and bring up the constant thing on our minds: where are the new stair options?! Where are improved babies? Where are improved elders and teens and general added build abilities and options that we need and have routinely asked for?

Obviously this is not an attack on staff, EA is a business, they are hired to do as EA say and what the higher ups decide is best, this is in no way me calling anyone lazy or thoughtless, this is simply me asking the question to those in charge of saying yes or no on content for the game.

Truthfully right now, I am angry, I am upset at how lackluster the base game is and how little we have going on, with no story progression to help my world grow, the game already has a big negative in my mind, how as we all do, we make the most out of what we have, and that is what I’m here about, to ask for more and ask why we don’t have more when this game is supposed to be about real life and in real life we have plenty more stair options and abilities to build homes on a much smaller scale.

Yes objects and sims themselves require months, even years of work in regards to animations and interactions, objects and such need coding and designing and getting a thumbs up or down, everything requires work and no doubt there are staff on the sims team who share our wants and desires, or just want to make us happy and deliver what we ask, I’m not for a moment pretending they are blind or deaf to our cries for more content, because that is not only thoughtless on my part but also unbelievably ignorant, that is not at all what I’m here to be.

If any of the sims team are reading this or even kind enough to comment, can we just have some sort of answer as to the content mentioned above and through comments I hope you fellow simmers will share below.

This is not meant to be a thread bashing the team or EA, it’s questions that need answering, even if it’s an emoji, I don’t expect a yes or no answer, i just want to know someone is out there taking on board what we are saying and maybe, is making it, even if they can’t confirm it, just to know something we want is coming, whether it’s next week, next month, next year, I’ll wait, I just want some sort of answer, as do a lot of us.

So comment below on how you feel about this and why you think realm of magic isn’t a need when the game is actually in requirement of bunch more useful and important content.

Please no arguments or negativity to what other simmers deem important, we all have our own ideas and desires so be nice and come together to make the game better.

I’m now going to build my sims underground mansion and try to pretend Vlad isn’t looking through my windows.

  • Magic has been in all the Sims games - and it would not be a Sims game without the witches. Magic was very much needed and I am glad it is almost here.

    So the whole point of this topic is for everyone posting to just repeat the same thing as you? :o
