Should The Sims Stop Collaborating?
While I know virtually nothing about makeup, I have seen some controversy with the new Sims 4 X Mac collaboration. Apparently the makeup they released is an old product with a Sims 4 box. It got me wo...

I think they better stop for the following reasons :
1. the company/brand they work with matters. If it is something I like, I will probably like the pack but if it is something I don't care about... This is a personal preference for every single player and I doubt I will always like the company or brand. The only collaboration in sims I actually liked was the H&M collab in sims 2. But this is a brand I actually used in real life (never heard of Mac or mochino before and I won't be buying their products because of the collab) and this pack integrated nicely with open for business with more CAS and BB items to run your own clothing store, with or without H&M written on the building. The sims 4 collabs never made as much sense as this one from 2007.
2. mixed results with the recent collaborations
- mochino : I think the brand adds too little to the pack to give its name to the pack. What is worse is that I like this pack because the brand is not prominent in the pack.. I like the photography and the furniture and the windows. But I have yet to use the CAS. There is also very little clothes for a collab with a fashion brand.
- Mac make up: it rarely looked good on sims at release. I have mainly be building since the patch to add opacity sliders so I don't know it's current state. But a brand make up should have looked better than regular make up, not worse, definitely at the moment it was patched in.
- Star wars : never seen so much hate and controversy around a pack so I don't think it is a success. Where mochino felt like it was not represented enough in its pack, star wars feels like the opposite. I like the theme but dislike how they intentionally prevented integration with other packs. Why are droids just toys at home, why can't we dress in regular clothes on batuu, why is there no weather on batuu why no supernatural powers on batuu,... ? You either play 100% star wars on batuu or no star wars at home. It is difficult to integrate with regular gameplay. This would have been better as a stand alone like sims medieval.
