The I'm Bored Thread

So I watched Carl's review about Tiny House pack, or whatever, he was upbeat about the pack, and didn't critique it the way he has the last few. But anyway, the purpose of building these small three sizes seems to be to get Sims more happy perks. Advantages of living in one of the allowed sizes. Again, just more of the same happyville vibes this game keeps doing over and over. It might have made sense to me if Sims rarely were happy or had so many ways to get perks and happiness or easy street lives, but the whole game is built on those premises, so more of the same in my opinion. More buffs is not my idea of gameplay. And while I'm speaking about the stuff pack, more loss of control for players. If you build their way there are more advantages for your Sim to live an easier life and happier life, so it's their way or the highway, again. Controlling what type of homes now. It's a nudge in the politically correct direction to build smaller and leave a smaller footprint. The Sims get boosts for living in these things, just like other lot traits that make their lives easier, how many ways can this game invent to keep Sims lives perfect and happy? Ad Nauseam.

And honestly, anyone who keeps saying they buy the packs though they don't want them but buy because of the CAS, well, why bother complaining about lack of gameplay when you feed the monster? You have the game you support, CAS. And that's all you keep getting. It's like training pets, you don't reward bad behaviour.

Myself as an example: If I had kept on buying TS4 after my long years of critiquing it to death, how would that make me look? like an addict who couldn't control Impulse buying. Maxis hopes we all have that addiction. And since TS4 is still going strong I guess some do. Buy it all, even if you don't want it. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
