I agree with this. It's fine to be critical, people should be, but it's beyond me how bent out of shape people can get over a SP or a redesign. Sometimes I feel like being negative is becoming more popular - in every branch of society. By which I don't mean to say it's wrong for people to voice their discontent over this SP if they feel that it is important to share what they think, but it would be nice if it could happen without criticizing others - and tbf so far I haven't seen all that much actual attacking of happy or unhappy players so it's still within normal range. I guess I just feel that their energy would probably be better spent elsewhere, sharing feedback about new features, or asking for more critical fixes, because one way or another, these branded packs will keep on being a thing. And this one is honestly miles better than the Katy Perry one ? .. also I don't think most of us would mind an IKEA one sooo .. perspectives ?
Yeah it is. The redesign actually helps me with my migraines. I think it is becoming more popular, but given the news, I can't help feel empathy of why people feel that way. Then again I love working in health care, so I always love hearing other people's backstories and why they love the Sims and other games. Oh I've been attacked for liking, not liking, feel neutral about the game, so I've experienced all the wide range of spectrum with it. It happens with all sides since I started playing the Sims 4. Reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. Yeah brand packs aren't anything new and yep effort on all parties I think would be better spent on actually talking about the game and improving it. Also I'm one of the odd people that enjoy having bugs in the Sims and reporting them. It is like solving a mystery for me. I was really hoping for a Target pack and found out Brittany Spears shopped at one 80 times so far this year. Target pack would be cool for elders because they could play shuffleboard and archery and could have cute Target themed outfits and accessories and shoes. Yes Katy Perry pack will be a running joke for years. I also have yet to see the streams of the pack, but saw the trailer and felt just as neutral as before about it.
The trailer is honestly really bad (you mean this SP right?). Based on the trailer alone I wouldn't have bought this pack, but the stream made it look super fun and in the three odd hours I spent building my apartment and then having to go to sleep I was pretty pleased. But no gameplay so far - then again it's a SP, if it makes me spend this much time in build mode I'm already quite happy, the furniture is beautiful.
I know what you mean though about being attacked left and right. I do still share my opinions on the forum but less and I leave discussions much more quickly than I used to. I think that in the end, negativity is an internet phenomenon and the best way to deal with it is to leave when things start getting on your nerves. That is the beauty of internet negativity. If it really starts plumming you off you can disconnect and do something you actually do enjoy.
Live and let live, will probably remain the best mantra surrounding TS4. I hope the next game will be less polarizing, that EA learned from this ordeal and remembers to please a larger variety of people. And to keep the thing offline as much as possible (now let's hope future me doesn't remember this comment when they release the creepy fully online and fully VR version of TS5 ?)
