I am a family player. That's pretty much all I do in The Sims ... build houses and play families.
I don't mind things like aliens/vampires in my game. I actually prefer it to some extent. I don't play them a whole lot, but I do like the fact that vampires were really in depth. Aliens were kind of lame, but I actually find myself enjoying playing vampire Sims.
I want to list a couple of things though:
1. I think there should be a slider bar for the ratio of Sim townies to supernatural. With each new addition of supernatural, I would like to see an update in the game menu. Maybe I want 100% vampire townies? Maybe I want 100% normal Sims? Maybe I want 50% aliens, 25% vampires, and 25% normal Sims?
2. I don't think people should be saying, "Don't like it? Don't buy it!" The pack itself offers stuff outside of just vampires. There are build/buy objects that people want to use. I think we should encourage EA to create a game that is tailored towards user customisation. We shouldn't tell people not to buy the pack if they don't like every aspect of it. I get it, vampires is the main reason for this GP in the first place, but we should accept that not everyone wants vampires in their game, and that should be perfectly fine.
We should want/encourage fellow Simmers to express their wants for the game, irregardless of them rejecting certain styles of gameplay in favour of another.
The Sims should never have a linear focus, or only allow one type of gameplay. It should be customisable to the user. That is always what made the game great to begin with. It's supposed to be about storytelling, and not everyone wants to tell the same story.
We should all want more choices in The Sims instead of taking them away.
Well it is obviously not possible in Sims 4 - because 1- they did not add toggles for aliens -2. they shut them down to almost nothing. I never even got an abduction before the removal process and the first game I played with GTW was the science career and with just male Sims. All I can figure if people were getting tons of abductions perhaps they had CC or mods that somehow promoted that either due to a glitch or something - as one who does not use mods or CC - I did not see that happening in my male households and one house hold I had 6 male roommates with 2 in the science career. I cannot explain why Sage Rain Willow saw the complete opposite if she has no mods or CC - not sure if she does or not - but I do know I did not see a one then or since in the over 2 years this game has been out and I am still playing male households and one married couple legacy households. No aliens in any of them. I like the aliens and yet I can't get them via abductions. My Sims have made several alien friends in the game by going to alien night at the bars but that is about the extent of it.
As I said though GTW was about work - with aliens as a side thing - so I do not feel it is as strong a point as a pack made specifically for Vampires and all about Vampires. I did not get CL the only pack that has apts even though I love apts in my game because I did not love the fact I cannot have apts in other towns - so I simply did not get it as I knew that would annoy me to no end not to be able to build my own apts where ever I wanted them. It is just the way it is. The way Sims 4 is made where most worlds connect there is no way they can toggle out Vamps in just certain worlds as far as I can see and why they offered Vamps in their own pack.
