Speculation, sims 4 store coming

I wonder if the big announcement coming up is a sims store for sims 4 similar to sims 3.

The game is going free and they are moving away from origin, perhaps they are looking to cash in on DLC in the same way games like fortnight and roblox does...

Thoughts?

  • If all this hype is really over Kits or micro transactions. No wonder EA thinks they can sell a game that’s broken. Talk about us as players settling for bread crumbs. Really, I hope most of you wouldn’t be happy if that’s truly what all the fuss is about with this summit?

    If you are then no wonder they won’t deliver a better game with better game mechanics and richer deeper game play, if that’s all it takes to make the majority of fans happy, we really have no one to blame but ourselves as players to expect anything more from the creators.

    All I know for as a big of a deal their making this summit out to be, me personally it better be bigger than expansions of the game. (Kits, micro transactions of any kind, game pack, stuff pack, even expansion pack) because they didn’t need to create so much hype if that’s all it really is.

    That’s just mocking our intelligence as customers if their doing that and bad attempt at crying wolf to see how much they can get away with while maintaining their fan base.

    I choose to believe they care more about their fans and new customers at this point and this summit really is about improving what they have done and continuing to build and improve upon it. Whether that’s the sims 5 or another sims game or continuing the sims 4.

    But I will not be okay with all this build up if it is just really about expansions of what is already very broken and I don’t think you should be either if that’s the case and if you are then maybe we should stop complaining when they give us more broken gameplay with all these buggy packs.
  • The only broken/buggy game play I have at this point are the reverting plants. Beyond that my game works great so I 100% want more content. This is the only game I play and I will happily buy whatever the sims team wants to sell me. I know that is a very unpopular opinion.

    Alas no store, I will be interested to see this new cc platform. Currently I don't use cc or mods.

    There are so many things missing the game each time, even the kits can't even be satisfying.

    Many things add a new gameplay what kits don't do but TS3 Store did.

    There is no TS4 Store so I spent money in Daz Studio content (I purchased thousands of products).


    You just like shopping and it gives you a high when you shop for things but that is not a good excuse to bring back the store.

    For example I created and saved a new sim yesterday, I used 20 packs to do 8 outfits.
    The more content I have, the more I can do what I want.

    Store content is similar to CC/mod , collecting content in order to extend the possibilities is something important for me.




    I feel the same as you but towards gameplay items, they enrich my experience of the game when done right. On the other hand, I don't understand the outfits thing, once the sims are clothed and booted they will still be addicted to their phones and spin the football and pretend they are playing football. It's like they're hitting an invisible wall that says this is the limit.
  • They had better make sims3 store content available again with the ea app, first though.

    I love my store content and want it back in my game. Right now the only way i can do that is using a quarantined system I keep offline so it can't update.
  • Hmmm interesting but I think not. Stuffpacks and kits are more like store. Like additional content

    You and I feel the same in terms of gameplay being what matters, and the details of what socks they wore etc. being irrelevant. However, I have a now-grown daughter who educated me on my biases including the fact that to her and people like her, fussing over the details of appearance IS what matters to them most, is what is most fun and rewarding to them, and to my daughter, she says that men could have the tables turned, that when you've seen one explosion, you've seen them all, yet we never tire of explosions in movies, and likewise, there's nothing interesting about watching a ball move: it goes to this end of the field and then that, with people moving it about, and for what?

    I think that hiw things move, how they work, and what changes happen, is interesting, and that the color of paint on the wall, whether someone wore a different pair of slacks or a particular skirt paired with certain earrings, and most especially the details of makeup and nails, tedious to think about or have to take notice of. She finds the idea that a ball being moved back and forth across a field, or that machinery is interesting just because it moves and does things, equally tedious.

    By this I don't imply that all people of a specific gender have predictable interests, but she finds far more in common with herself and other young women in these matters, than she does with herself and men, and I find the same generally holds true for me, the other way around. Of course there are exceptions, people aren't just walking stereotypes, but it took my daughter standing up for her POV to teach me that mine isn't the only one out there, or the only one worth taking seriously.

    ? I still don't want to fuss with outfits but there are a LOT of simmers, perhaps the majority, who like that part of the game best. We don't all have to have the same motivations.

    I do feel like in sims4, it has been tilted too far in one direction, and the endless parade of soon-to-be-dated clothing is a lot to scroll through for those of us who don't enjoy getting dressed as a hobby in itself.
