I wanted simulated life, and they can't even get that right.
We've had 'unrealistic' content even before EA bought Maxis so...
There was also a lot more content in general in the other games, which allowed skipping some of the "supernatural" things. Sims 4's content is so lacking that the supernatural parts stick out way more than they should. There's vampires and Strangerville and now they're talking about some other supernatural pack, and now Star Wars?
There are plenty of interesting things about life that don't require fantasy to be enlightening. We can't even drive cars.
If you don’t want supernatural maybe you’re playing the wrong game. Supernatural has been around since the game started . You do not have any say on taking that away from us supernatural players. We are part of the community too . Realism players have more then us. Whenever we get supernatural stuff we usually get nerfs because realism players complain about it even when they knew what they were purchasing.
Okay, first, don't tell me what I "have say on." If I play these games, I have just as much of a right to comment on them as you do. We all bought the product, we all have a say.
Second, I never said I wanted the supernatural elements to be
taken away from you. I'm not telling them to delete the supernatural elements. What
my issue is, is that there aren't nearly as many realistic things about The Sims 4 as you're alleging. Of all of the Sims games, so far, The Sims 4 is by far the most "fantastical." The original Sims of the year 2000 had a lot of goofy stuff about it, but it was in the attempt of being a simulator of real life. The game came into existence because Will Wright wanted to make a game about architecture and viewing the home you built.
My issue is that compared to earlier Sims titles, Sims 4 has almost triple the amount of fantasy content, even when they cut parts of them out that previous titles left in. The Sims 3: Supernatural was just one pack with a ton of supernatural stuff to it. Every other pack was realistic. You could argue that EA deliberately broke up the Supernatural pack into chunks to force you to buy it all separately, but it disallows realism players the access to good realistic content when they're so focused on making magical things.
There's nothing wrong with you wanting magical stuff. But that seems to be the only content they're interested in releasing now. This Star Wars crap is evidence of that.
Third, no one can tell you how to play or how you want to play. If you want to play the magical stuff, do so. I don't want it removed, necessarily, but I don't really want to play it either. I haven't bothered purchasing the last few packs because of the focus on the supernatural. Oh, and yeah, knitting, because that bores me.
Magic players for The Sims 4 are far more spoiled with what they get, believe me.
