It definitely looks like it was inspired by the huge popularity of Stranger Things.
It’s content I don’t really feel belongs in a main series Sims game. When I solve that story, am I ever going to want to play with this pack again? If I don’t want to solve it at all, am I basically paying for a world? And who knows if they truly are able to contain the crazy Sims in that one world with the way the bugs in this game run rampant sometimes.
It feels as if the developers were finally catching up with providing us creative tools, but taking away our ability to freely tell a story with a world, and forcing their own upon us is something I hope doesn’t return in the series as a pack’s main and entire selling point ever again.
We still have more to see, I’m sure, but right now, I’m not too enthused whatsoever. In fact, I don’t know if it’s something I would want in my game, even if given to me for free.
sounds like this pack isn't exactly your cup of tea, I'd recommend not purchasing this pack.
Thanks for your recommendation! I have no intention to, presently at least.
I really like creative backstories for worlds, but I've always loved how The Sims 2 and 3 would always make the player decide on what happens next. This would allow me to create countless timelines and stories with something existing which was just so much fun and added so much gameplay for me.
To have my hand held through a linear story, start to finish, where I cannot determine who the "big bad" is myself does not sound appealing or exciting in the slightest from The Sims. Single player RPGs offer a far more robust experience than a life simulation like The Sims in fleshing out a story like this. Seems more like a spin-off GP more than anything else to me.
