I mean? Sure. But technically I wouldn't call it a millennial simulator. The youngest millennials are in their mid 20s now.
It's a Gen Z simulator.
This.
Millennials are old now.
Media, and many people in general seems to confuse Millennial with people born in the 2000s. They really talk like they think they are 15-25. Admittedly it is the dumbest most misguided name for an age group ever invented, but...
Same with "boomer". Boomers are my parents generation now. They were born between the end of WWII and into the early 60's. They are not middle age, they are Elders.
Btw about elders, as we already talked about earlier; people still think "old people" are like their grandparents were in the 90's; the last "old people" generation (the ones that gave birth to the boomers).
@Idontrcall Yes, but one should not assume "old people" don't use tech. Most do. And know far more than we think about how it works.
Honestly, people who seriously think millenials are still aged 15-25 are just horribly misinformed and are the same who say gen z are still all elementary to middle schoolers (Being born in 2001, I belong to the oldest members of gen z, and I graduated school one year ago). Though whether saying TS4 is a "millennial" or "gen z" simulator is both just blatant stereotyping. It's this weird cliché that millenials and gen z's can't get off their phone and are always out partying, which is just not reality. Gen Z has the same amount of introverts and people who barely use their phones as any other generation.
Plus, Millennials AND Gen Z are almost all dirt broke and struggling because of how Boomers and their parents' generations screwed up our long-term prosperity for their short-term gain back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. We ain't got no party money. We barely have stay at home and play video games money. Millions of us are out of work right now and/or have our post-graduation employment plans severely crippled thanks to coronavirus. We are not a bunch of carefree kids and young adults with prosperous careers and growing families (personally, I count an adult as young until age 40, then you're middle-aged).
So, basically, TS4 is a "Millennials and Gen Z if they still had access to the same economic opportunities and cheap college costs that the Baby Boomers did" simulator...
Man, these last 20 years have been wack...
