This really did not clear much up for me.

Monthly Maxis was introduced to communicate with us in a new way but I don't feel like this is communication. I really don't care about the game influencers no offense to anyone and I don't really care about how they got their start on the sims...again no offense. I love the Gurus but I want game information otherwise, I don't need to see a show.

I want to know what is on the horizon even if it is a picture that we can speculate about. Sure we may be disappointed when we find out the truth of what the pack is about but it is better than patting our feet while waiting six months for a morsel of information. The speculation is part of the fun. When we got the expansion pack in Sims 2, the next pack hint was in there and we could get even more excited. Sims 3, when they did twitch we usually got a hint or something. I never wanted to miss a video. My favorite hint was the sim in the boat for sims 3. I don't get excited when I hear the Maxis Monthly is coming.

You know how the trick-or-treaters come by and people give them a few pieces of candy? That's how I felt afterward.

Their minds seem to be so far away and out of touch with our reality. 19 years and not even a cake server?. I would expect plates that said something about EA/Maxis on them or at lease colorful 19 years plats and napkins.


Actors, pretending to us, I think hiding Sims 5 for sure. At the lease a New EP maybe even cars.
I saw no stress, they are happy and as comfortable as being in their own living room? Why worry us. They introduced us to someone we never saw before. What did this person do that merits him and proper introduction, Did he make us a new EP? Is it time for a big surprise.

Or is it like a movie of a girl planning her wedding but her fiance has already broken up with her in his mind. and moved on to a different girl, but he is afraid to hurt her, so he says nothing.

He knows he has something better in the works and he really just do not care in more.

Yep I think Sims 4 is being replaced by no other than its predecessor, Sims 5

HA!! I feel like I went trick or treating and got a few pennies instead of candy..lol

I have tried very hard to get the whole cake thing out of my head because I am a germaphobe. I will just leave it at that because I don't want to offend. LOL your examples are priceless, I feel the same way. I don't think they understand what it means when we say we want communication. I don't want to speak for anyone else, but when I say I want communication, I want to know what is up and coming not get to know the gurus on a personal level..lol
