But the team does work to try and have something in every pack to appeal to the vast majority of players. It seems it should be possible to express that all or part of a pack isn't your cup of tea without viciously attacking developers and other simmers who are excited for the new content. The forums especially are starting to get a bad rap as being toxic and negative, and I just really believe that on the whole, we can do better than that.

It's slightly hard to ignore when every other comment on every thread or YouTube video is "I hate everything about the sims4" yet these are the same people whingeing about waiting for packs they want to buy (which they will then complain about when they actually get).

Nothing wrong with being disappointed it's not the pack you wanted (though we knew this one was coming anyway) or giving some heavy critique, but going into every thread to express how much you hate it and comment on every comment saying how they're wrong and 'no it's ugly and not 'insert pack name here' I wonder if people are just bored?

I don't understand the criticism of this pack... lol Especially the part where people are complaining about it containing stuff that would generally only be featured in a game or expansion pack... I mean, isn't it a good thing that we're getting MORE than what we usually do for just $10?

Personally, I'm actually excited for this pack... the clothes don't look bad at all. I actually love some of the outfits that we're getting! Also, those WINDOWS are to die for! :heart: Even some of the objects we're getting don't look bad. We're even getting FOUR new gameplay objects!

Honestly, people who didn't see this kind of thing coming obviously haven't been paying much attention to previous iterations... we've been getting branded stuff packs since Sims 2 (H&M and IKEA). Sims 3 had Katy Perry Sweet Treats and Diesel. Are we really surprised that Sims 4 got a branded pack as well?

Best thing to do is to try to ignore it, because responses are what people that are hating on something are looking for.

As for the criticism for this pack, I think it mainly is because the pack is a way to criticize different things that people do not like, be it with the pack itself or the sims4 and the content they are making for it. And it is not difficult to hate things in this pack.

My issue isn't with people disliking the pack. My issue is with it descending into personal attacks and name calling. It's just not cool, and I don't see how ignoring something helps.
