Scenarios Coming To Base Game

Seems SO pointless. No gameplay added with it, so why add a completely new UI for it - just add a button in cas or something for people that don't want to cheat the settings. They could have done so much with this concept, I don't understand...

My first thought on this was - so, you took challenges that simmers created and already play in the game and made them “official”?

It’s an interesting concept and they could possibly do a lot with it, but …

I can't say how disappointed I am with this reveal. The scenario they presented literally was just "Here's a sentence about a challenge to work towards" and made it in the UI on the top left. We can already work towards whatever scenario we want when we play the game! There is literally ZERO gameplay being added by scenarios!

Same here. I can't see the reason why I would need new UI to play Rags to Reaches or any other challenges. That's what everybody are doing on their own for years already. Moreover intricate and/or random challenges won't fit into Scenarios frame probably. So I see no incentive to use this feature for now.

I may be wrong like with Story feature for generating new sims which initially I didn't appreciate but now use it from time to time. But so far this "Scenarios" seems more proper for a mobile game. The route Sims franchise seems to eagerly be taking lately.

I am certain a lot of Simmers will like these scenarios, but I can't see the point of playing this get very rich scenario, they presented. I don't see any challenge in "Rags to Riches" and to reach 1 million seem like an endless save of repetative gp

Oh man, when I read this Topic Line, I thought that perhaps the screen cuts were back that they had in Sims2. Before a significant event, little clips were shown to signify it was a momentous event. Such as a Sim couple about to have woohoo for the very first time. I miss those. And if I wanted to play challenges, I would play a different game.

I’ve rarely played any of the challenges the community was come up with. In fact I’ve only ever played one, so I’m kinda intrigued by this feature. It will encourage me to try different styles of play that I haven’t done before. I’ll check it out for sure.

I thought that if they were gonna add challenges to the game, they would at least add rules and limitations as well, and custom scenarios where sims were already created. That's what makes challenges interesting, the different ways it forces you to play the game?

This seems to be just...a goal? The "earn 1 million simoleons" challenge is just the same game with a notification while you play the game normally?

Seems pretty pointless to me. I can make my own challenges and play without promptings from the game.
This isn't what I was thinking when we wanted challenges...
