Just one question to all of you simmers who were so pumped for this Star Wars pack: why?

I am pumped because I really enjoyed the quest based play in Strangerville and Jungle Adventure and thought this would be similar to that. I enjoy checklists and goals and most of my gameplay would be considered RPG versus sandbox. I've been playing the same family for the last 4 years and although there is some family play involved the majority of my gameplay revolves around the matriarch of the family. She's completing all the careers, aspirations, skills, collections, university degrees, etc. So in that sense I'm still looking forward to JTB. I'm not even bothered by all the rabbit hole gameplay because my objective is to just complete the missions.

What I do find disappointing, but not a game changer is that I won't be able to treat it as a vacation destination once I've completed all three missions.

What I find most disappointing is that builders won't have free rein. I'm not a builder but I do download all of my lots from the Gallery.

Welp, I wasn't excited for this one, but it might be useful for the build items, at least. It will work for some of my industrial builds. But I think that's about it, at least for me.

She confirmed what I was expecting, a beautiful world that doesn't fit into the Sims with a bunch of crap game play. I also agree what the Gurus think we want is so far off from what we really want.

I agree I watched this review and felt like she kept spewing the capitalism thing too often, like um ya thats how our society works. I don't know why capitalism has become such a dirty word in 2000's. Yes there are bad extremes of it, but packs like this are made because their is an audience for it such as Star Wars fans.

I found watching her review very annoying by the end because as a life long casual star wars fan (ie I love the movies but thats about it) she basically glossed over anything related to Star Wars in it. I get why, she's never seen star wars - so what should I expect? BUT I wonder if her review would have been slightly different if she had?

On the flip side I do agree some of the textures are really bad specifically the Kylo Ren mask...like that shocked me. Still I felt like her review left me more annoyed with her review than with the stuff pack itself. Obviously the pack is made FOR Star Wars fans, not every single simmer out there.

That's my issue, there are so many other reasons to not like this game that capitalism shouldn't be one of them. I do think capitalism in the US especially has become very toxic, but it isn't the reason I think the pack sucks :D

Ooh, i feel like this can apply to a big part of my gameplay! Nice to see someone who shares a similar playstyle <3 although i didnt think that someone would be you XD I thought you would be into a different type of playstyle for some reason. Seeing as you got me into ac too, i think we enjoy the same games as well. Now i know who i should ask when i feel like i need even more things to play haha!

So what I"m getting from this, going through comments, is that people who already didn't like the pack based on what they say, they still don't like it, and people who liked the pack based on what they saw still like it.

So the views are the same. LOL

Spilled

That's pretty cool you enjoy Strangerville and JA's quests. I enjoyed JA's myself (just wanted more). Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

the fact she said it was boring is really what hit home it’s not a well made pack

Lets not trash talk streamers we don't get away with personal attacks on fellow forum goers so let's just assume she sees this and would be left feeling attacked by some of you.

It isn't ok.
