It's probably not ready yet. I mean... Why question it? It's free content.

You can still be critical of something even if it's free. Especially since most of us had to pay to get the game in the first place.

It's disappointing, but I'm willing to wait if it's good. Here's hoping for cars or dragons.

People complain when we don't get something and when we do. It never seems like it's good enough. We don't even know WHAT we're getting. What's the point of being critical? You don't have to pay for this particular update and you have no idea what's in it.

An anniversary is a one day event? Doesn't make any sense to give an anniversary gift weeks after the date. That'd be like me getting someone a birthday present and on their birthday being like "you can have your present in 3 weeks!"

That's how things work out sometimes though. I'm not going to complain if my birthday gift would be a bit later. It's about the gesture.

Well, yeah. People complain because this is a diverse fandom with different opinions. You can't please everyone. But it's not unreasonable to want good quality stuff. Yeah, we don't know what we're getting. Logic and experience tells me to expect little, but I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic about it. But that doesn't mean people are unreasonable for being critical.

And yes, we're not paying for this patch. But we paid for a game that turned out to be incredibly shallow and missing key features, even seven years later this hasn't changed. Marketing has been questionable and deceptive, as expected. They absolutely owe us good content, which we frankly should have gotten from the start.

I hope they give us cars this year!! But I don’t think that’s the surprise though. Maybe new CAS or Build/Buy items made by cc creators ? Hair sliders ? Swatches ?

It's probably some video with simmers telling why they love the sims for all this time.

Nice, it will be interesting to see what it is.

Critical of what though? At this point it's criticism about getting an anniversary update at all since once again, we don't know what's in it. Criticism isn't unreasonable and I said nothing about the base game. I'm purely talking about the anniversary update.

We did get a tweet. What else would you like to get? :p

So what we know is there's 21 simmers/creators and the surprise will be in feb 25, that's 21 days!... Maybe there's 21 different additions to the game and they'll hint one of them everyday until feb 25 and then release them all. That would be amazing

I'm saying that it's completely fair to criticize how things are being run. Yeah, we don't know about what we're getting, but it's fair to be wary or weirded out by what's going on.
