I'm totally out of the loop. I'm excited for my Sims to be able to go somewhere that I love going! Why is everyone disappointed? Not much crossover between Sims fans and Star Wars fans? Was everyone hoping for something specific and this isn't as good?
It just doesn't make sense to me.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan. But I just don't think this fits with my Sims gameplay at all.
Look, anyone who is a genre fan... whether it's the Sims, Star Wars, Star Trek, the Buffyverse, LOTR, whatever... you know that the internal consistency of the universe matters. Are we now to believe that the Sims and Star Wars exist in the same universe? That's a big pill to swallow. I mean, would you really want Harry Potter showing up in Mordor, no matter how much you love either series?
IF I eventually buy the pack, and that's a huge if, the only way I will be able to play it is to create a new save (which I hate to do, I have played in the same rotational save from day one), and only play a single character who travels to this world and runs through all the content, and then never touch it again. That's a big ask, financially. But I don't want the SW world, much as I love it, bleeding into the world of my regular sims. They just do not, in either my head canon or in any logical canon, exist in the same universe.
Of course, the problem with trying to do that is that in my regular save, then I would have Rey showing up at the spice festival and Kylo Ren working out at the gym and townies wandering around with light sabers, and so on. At a bare minimum, I hope that's something they can tone down in the patches that will inevitably be necessary.
I kind of like crossovers, ngl. But I also keep several saves tailored to whatever universe I'm playing in. I rarely mix fantasy with sci-fi in my saves and make all worlds in a save be cohesive. Then again, I like building, so for me, setting up a save is rougly half the fun.
And I think there won't be a risk of SW characters spilling into other worlds. I think there was a tweet?
