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 ???? 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.
Oh please. Three game packs with supernatural elements is not 'an opressive amount of fantasy elements.' and the life states given in expansions are all lame and barely have anything to do. Everyone was dissapointed with Realm because it seemed so terribly self contained to the world it introduced, not to mentioned it had no cross pack spells/potions. And Vampires are kind of annoying even for me and I like fantasy elements so vampires could've done better. To say us getting 3 packs plus the fantasy Indiana Jones elements in JA as 'way too dang much fantasy elements you fantasy players are such whiny sissies.' is really irritating. I not read jack on University so I can't say if the robots suck not even sure their a life state tbh but Mermaids can barely do anything, aliens have like 2 interactions and Mages are specifically geared toward only being able to interact with other mages. So to say we got so much fantasy content we should be happy. And a LOT of people were annoyed with Supernatural what with zombies every dang night and eating all your potion ingredients is really annoying and the only way to get rid of em is to never use Full Moon phase which ALSO affects all your other magical creatures with no super charge mode due to no moon. And don't get me started on the massive tension between knitters and seances for stuff pack vote. So yes you can have an opinion on what content you'd like but to say we occult fans got too much is insulting to that half of fandom. Realistic players have 32 realistic dlc with like 2% of like 3 packs with occult sims and those are very very poorly recieved by occult players cuz they get hardly anything to do and just look weird. Not counting Journey there are 2 game packs dedicated exclusively to fantasy shenanigans and they lack some things tbh even older packs were a lot funner than the recent content of mages. And we LOST the vote for a pure fantasy stuff pack. We got Eco Life, Knitting, Tiny Living and univerisity since the latest fantasy pack Realm of Magic. So your argument is just you don't want fantasy elements and see everytime we get a fantasy pack as 'ignoring fanbase and they never make realism content' and it's really petty
You're only verifying that EA is screwing you just as much as they are me. You're stating that you're extremely disappointed in the game and the way the packs are, so the way that you defend the game is questionable, considering how let-down you seem.
I've told you this once before already, but the content in TS4 in general is extremely lacking, which seems to be the exact point you're making as well. For example, I don't care at all about Eco living
or knitting. I didn't buy either of those packs. I don't even own University now because I stopped giving EA my money when all they do is a half-assed job at game development. I've been waiting for a next big pack with actual good content in it, and it's never come. And I can honestly tell you this: the sore spot you have will not be cured by dang Star Wars. It'll be just as lacking as all of this other content you're complaining about, and EA is hoping a Star Wars paint job will keep you quiet.
My question is... if the supernatural elements of both Sims 3 and Sims 4 are so terrible to you, why do you continue to play that content? You seem pretty angry about it, so I'm not sure what enjoyment you're getting out of the game, since you don't seem to like the realistic stuff either, at least based on this post. I never voted for knitting. I'd take seances over it any day. Seances are things people actually do in real life (regardless of how ineffective they are), so it would have satisfied both of us, since that would have been more interesting to see than knitting sweaters. As for "tiny living," I didn't even know that was a thing, to be honest, but it sounds stupid.
I never called you or players like you "whiny sissies," but if you feel like one, I can't say otherwise.
"Realistic players have 32 realistic dlc"
It feels more like two DLC split into multiple DLCs at inflated prices. Just saying.
"'ignoring fanbase and they never make realism content'"
I never said that they were ignoring the fanbase, although your post actually does sound like they are ignoring you too. I also never said that they "never make realism content." I said they're making
more fantasy than reality.
"And to say "SW is so left field wth" is a bit much Get Famous had light sabers and Sith Lord costumes..."
Get Famous wasn't an entire pack dedicated to Star Wars.
