So from this it looks the concept is better received by older players. My hot take on this is that we didn't grow up with Sims 2 and/or 3 and are maybe a bit less emotionally attached to how a sims game "should" be.

Hmmm.... I wonder. I've gotten the impression that people here who talk about the olden days of Sims 1, Sims 2 and Sims 3 tend to be in the 30+ category. Maybe I'm wrong.

But you're right the over 30 crowd seems to be much more accepting. What do you think, could the older players who grew up with Star Wars view it as a standout of very few kid friendly sci-fi type movies? Maybe younger players view Star Wars as just another movie in a sea of options.

Just a theory.

Over 30 female. I have seen all the movies except the last four I think? Maybe 3? I can't remember. While I enjoy the causal movie going and like the action fantasy element of the movies, I honestly don't remember details. So to me the pack is a turn off. I have no idea what's going on, who most of those people are, and am really not interest in playing in such a specific setting. If it were a general space pack with made up creatures, and storylines that had nothing to do with SW I would be happy. Even if there was such a vague link to it I could have NEVER watched SW and been fine, I might have bought it. I just have no interest in what I personally feel is way too niche and excluding of a pack.

For myself, "Star Wars" doesn't seem to fit for "The Sims". But I guess we'll see.
Personally, if it is made for this game, I'd be most interested in the 'Aliens' and 'Droids'.

The most interesting result of this poll is that male simmers don't exist ?

No wonder this game doesn’t understand the concept of body hair. ?

This so much ?.

Well, you know Star Wars and Avatar:The Last Airbender did have something in common. :D

Over 30s female here. I love Star Wars, I love the The Sims and have been playing since TS2 came out. I'm really looking forward to this crossover. I think its fun to have something new that hasn't been done before rather than the same old rinse and repeat. I always veer towards the supernatural and scifi aspects in my gameplay so this pack is right up my alley.

I don't hate star wars, cause I like scifi but I'm just not that deep into. Not a huge fan, don't know the lore, still confused about the story. So for me..star wars is just...meh...

Oh, but it is a general space pack with made up creatures, especially if you're not familiar with the story lines, characters, and what not.

Male identifying biological female >30 here, I Like the concept, but would have preferred Star Wars sims to be a spinoff.

I added together the raw numbers so far and got this picture:

Under 30 -> ratio Like : Dislike = 20 : 52 = 1 : 2,6
Over 30 -> ratio Like : Dislike = 49 : 69 = 1 : 1,4

So from this it looks the concept is better received by older players. My hot take on this is that we didn't grow up with Sims 2 and/or 3 and are maybe a bit less emotionally attached to how a sims game "should" be. I was a gamer already before I became a simmer, what probably gives me a different point of view from someone who started out with The Sims (or only ever played The Sims and no other games at all).
Or maybe there's simply more first generation Star Wars fans in the >30 group.

But as I said, those are just very biased hot takes, nothing substantial.

In all the simmer groups I belong, none want this pack. I am of the 30+ group and want the star wars bloatware we are forced to have in base game deleted. I did not even really like any of the movies, so that may be why I view the pack very negatively.

Agreed. I hate that more than half of the Halloween costumes are Star Wars characters and I even use a mod to add a variety costumes, including the ones from Spooky Stuff, which are for some reason not included with the “wear costumes” holiday tradition. Without the mod, children have to choose between being Yoda and an elf.

In addition, I never got into the Star Wars movies, although I am not in the 30+ group. I didn’t recognize anything from the trailer and I STILL don’t know what Batuu is.
