I don't follow anybody on twitter other than the official TheSims account and Gurus that actually tweet game related things, so I don't pay any attention to what any simmers are trying to accomplish.

The thing that sticks out the most for me on twitter is the absolutely ridiculous amount of hatred, bashing and general whining the twitter community has for EA, The Sims, Gurus, and the Devs. There is never ever one single post by anybody associated with the production or development of the game that doesn't end up have a million nasty replies demanding this or that. It's extremely tiring.

There is this weird culture on twitter now where it's trendy to hate on EA and Maxis because they haven't added something that you are missing from the previous games...

And people also combine it with this "inclusiveness" that Maxis is using to promote the sims and their own personal feelings. For example people wanting to customize so the game doesn't say him or her and they combine it with other posts where they share their depression, anxiety and sexuality...

I find this tiring and I also think it's weird... It's just a game.

I often wonder if this turmoil has all been brought on by The Sims, Maxis, the Gurus, etc because of this focus on inclusivity. Gone are the days when they just produce a game and either you buy it and like it or you don't.

I don't play other games, so I'm not "in" with how other developers are treated and if the fans of other games are this nasty, horrible, and demanding, or if it's just a "Sims" mentality because the Gurus are at the front of social media.

Was it like this with the other iterations in the Sims franchise? Or has this only come about since they've been on the frontline of Twitter?

I seriously pop onto to Twitter a few times a day, just to see if there's been any new tweets that might be hints or any updated news, and that's it. I don't have any desire to follow any simmer, not on facebook, not on twitter, not on youtube, not on tumblr. I'm actually an adult and I make up my own mind on how I feel about things and don't need to be a sheep.

I find this pretty funny and hilarious how people have so much time on hand to devote it to such flashmobs.

Just how many of these accounts were made? o_O even some obscure stuff from sims 1 have their own pages. Anyway, i dont mind it as long as it is harmless, but if it gets too spammy and bothersome then it might be better to stop.

It's always a good thing to have a check occasionally to see who you could block or mute to save yourself any further toxic tweets!

I expect you have a job to keep you busy but a lot of people only have the internet to keep in touch when they have to self-isolate in tiny apartments without a job and some of the best Twitter Simmers have some good tips, mods and builds to share.

Eh, who knows?

You have to wonder why they focus so much on inclusivity and enabling people to make accurate representations of themselves. Maybe TS5 will have more in common with Second Life than The Sims and there is a strong reason they focus so much on character creation that's accurate and truly represents a simmer. Maybe they are just setting the stage for TS5.

you guys might be on to something. who knows who is behind or the actual purpose of this. as i mentioned above i've seen many roleplaying and political statements apart of the game comments so idk if it's all genuine.
i'm only happy about this whole hashtag thing because the sims 1 is getting more recognizement regardless.

This is too much honestly. I find it demanding and aggressive. Not a fan of such attitude all.
