http://i.imgur.com/2yzdF15.pngI am completely surprised by the assertion by the producer Sarah Holding regarding why was not added new models of beards for CAS in The Sims 4 until now. I wonder what this producer has in mind to say this sort of thing, especially considering that a good proportion of people are still discredited in The Sims 4. Sometimes I have the impression that the producers are abusing the intelligence of the people who buy all the games they create. I know several players who are fully capable of creating a new beard model or even a good quality clothing in The Sims 4 in less than two days.I am not concerned whether there will be new beards in the game, I'm satisfied with the existing models. What makes me worried is this kind of misplaced assertion that ultimately only serves to further frustrate the players, especially those who are hopeless with respect to the fourth generation.

After seeing this I know that there is hardly any chance of toddlers coming back. If they can't even add more beards due to the 'limited tech' I guess they can't add burglars, firemen, dishwashers, trash compactors and all the other missing features. Hopefully they figure out a way for this not to happen.

Well, unfortunately I think it's obvious that their tech is limited. Sad. I had hoped to see the series I love move forward. It deserves to. But thanks to limited tech even new beards are difficult? I guess that's what happens when they throw simmers' money at Titanfall instead of back into The Sims.

According to SimGuruSarah the tech used in The Sims 4 is more limiting compared to The Sims 3 Tech.https://twitter.com/SimGuruSarah/status/615937675816628225Isn't that sad and hilarious at the same time? Wasn't TS4 meant to be better, more advanced? This again is another sign that this game is just quickly thrown together to make some money.She also mentioned that it was ''a lot of work'' and ''expense'' to create different seating postures like for lounge chairs. Isn't the ''expensive'' and ''a lot of work'' not always the first thing we hear? It's sad.https://twitter.com/SimGuruSarah/status/615994475844800512https://twitter.com/SimGuruSarah/status/615994367996657664

Well all I'm hearing is "we burnt our entire budget on Olympus and now we're scrambling to fix a doomed game with nowhere near enough money" from the devs, as EA is swimming in their pools of money.

Sarah Holding says that TS4 tech is more limiting than TS3 was.

This is ridiculous. Remember back before the game came out and everyone was up in arms about missing content?

Graham spoke up and said with a completely straight face: "The Sims 4 provides a great foundation for the future."

I know how people will be forced to lie for damage control but this is just dumb now. THE GURUS have confirmed that the game's engine is so limiting that it can't even handle new animations for a lounge chair.

A LOUNGE CHAIR.

How in the world are they gonna put stuff like toddlers or pets if the engine can't even handle new sitting animations?

Is too hard to make a new beard!!!! LOL This cracked me up! All I see is excuses, excuses everywhere, and a constant insult to our intelligence.

Wasn't it supposed to be a "great" base game made specifically to be expanded and to add everything we wanted easily?
How are we supposed to trust them? Everything now is "too hard" or "too expensive" or both.
If they are not able to bring long chairs back because the animations for it would be too expensive what are we supposed to expect from this game?

Well she said that when it came to beards the tech is limiting compared to Sims 3, so it might take a while to get more beards x) Lol.

But when it comes to lounge chairs it is more like: They are so expensive to make and require different animations, so blablablabla.

It's basically the same excuse we keep hearing. And if they indeed already can't even deliver beards (cc creators can do it since day one) there goes the hope for toddlers and the rest. Because you know, animations and stuff. It's so expensive and time intensive, it's just limiting. Uhu.

I don't think players fully grasp the work that goes into Sims 4. It really annoys me when some people think it's a simple task when it so isn't. Please stop this hate speech directed right to the developers. THEY DO NOT DESERVE IT.

Do you have a degree in IT? Have you ever worked on game development before? I'm really interested to know.

Guess "limited" should read "more complex". And I think it makes sense.

At the same time I urge to check out The sims 1 again, where sims could just sit or not sit, they slept in their bed dead as loggs - but still it was ouzing with charm :)

lol, well it's not the first time things are "too expensive and too difficult" and neither which the sims 4 engineer is a cra p, we already aware but is good to see maybe the "blind followers" can finally try to see how much sims 4 is "awesome" a very limited worst engineer, that is why ts3 emotions work better than ts4 or almost many of things works better, make a "half baked game" from scrap is not really funny or right.

@rudy8292 twitter then cay delete unwanted posts at anytime unlike the forum... then is more easy to speak where they have full control over the users(don't have any rules to follow than they own desires).

You really need to stop being so insulting to players who actually like the game. If you don't that's fine. But we are neither blind, nor followers just because we enjoy the Sims 4.

I like how whenever someone takes a jab at a TS4 cheerleader they're all "OMG STOP BEING SO MEAN GUYS!" but when a TS4 cheerleader gets aggressive and writes paragraphs insulting people who like the older games it's A-OK and they totally get away with it thanks to some good old fashioned favoritism.

Hooray for double standards!
