Wow! I'm glad everyone else has pretty much expressed my thoughts because I have no words. But I am impressed that they made a gameplay trailer with no gameplay in it. Congrats devs. Did anyone notice what was missing from the trailer? No one was riding a bicycle, anywhere. I saw one leaning against the house, but that's it.
I hope everyone realizes that they have gotten better at making nothing look like something. There are no sports but you can join a sports club and everyone can kick a soccer ball by themselves together.
And while the secret society looks good in their robes and masks, why are they in another hidden world (and they told us that not enough players use the two hidden ones we already have) or is it one of the ones we already have? Doesn't matter because a secret society should meet in a hidden room in the basement or attic plotting how to take over the world. So what's with the magic stuff and being "Blessed"?
And someone (young apparently) please tell me what "Julia is a whole mood" means. Is that another silly phrase like "It made me feel a certain way"? Of course you felt a certain way, you're alive and thinking and breathing. You feel all day long, every day. Great, now I'm a whole mood.
It's good to see the cafeteria but unless it can be used outside of the pack in the real world, it might as well be a bicycle.
I do give the devs credit for one thing. Anyone remember a teacher telling a kid (or you :D ) that if you put as much effort into actually studying as you do into trying to get out of studying, you'd be class valedictorian? Devs, you could be class valedictorian.
I'm very confused. Most of the info you're going off of is unconfirmed, like sims being unable to play soccer together. Maybe they thought players would use this secret world because it comes with a creepy secret society that everyone seemed to love in Sims 2 (I never played). I'm also assuming the cafeteria is part of the school itself... and since we don't have active school, why would we need a cafeteria anywhere else? And I never had class valedictorians growing up.
Just my thoughts and opinions... I'm sorry, I just hate it when people bash things that they haven't played yet.
Well, granted, I'm no expert, but I have been playing the Sims for twenty years, so I am familiar with the way Maxis does things. We were told from the start of the info for this pack, that our college sims could "kick around" a soccer ball. In the first trailer we see a girl kicking around a ball and it hits another student in the head. That, IMO, is not "playing" soccer. And having a soccer club that meets in the stadium(?) to individually kick around a soccer ball as a group, is hardly equal to a collegiate intramural sports program. The sims will never have team sports because it would need too much programing to make it work even half decently. The closest we will ever come is the current basketball playing that came in CL, and no one seems to give a carp about it.
And college secret societies are normally about wealth and power and how to get more of it and keep it, not fairy magic in a magical fairy glade.
The robes will be useful for my covens, but knowing Maxis, they probably must be unlocked to be used out of the secret society. They keep the good stuff locked away. As for that secret world, why give us another hidden glade when the info they get about how we play, doesn't support a hidden world. That's why they gave us three lots that were not hidden, but special, in GT with Windenburg.
Hopefully, you're no longer confused.
Those robes won't stay hidden for long. LOL Too many players are going to want those for their RoM characters and vampires. I'd bet twenty bucks on the modding community finding a way to unlock those robes in less than a week after DU is released. It took one modder two days to release the 'missing' island counters for Island Living, so I have no doubt the same thing will happen with the robes. And you have to admit, those robes do look pretty awesome. Too awesome to be locked away if that is how the devs want to play it. You and I have been playing this game for twenty years, and if we have learned anything from this, it's the fact sports has never been a group activity in any of the iterations. Two to four Sims at a time is all we can hope for. Heck, I'd be happy with tag being brought back for our Sim kids. It was one of the cutest activities ever introduced, and I am bummed it hasn't made it into Sims4. I miss the kid and dad playing catch, the kids playing tag, the great snowball and waterballoon fights. Sigh. The memories. They make me nostalgic for the good old days when new gameplay made me go 'Wow, that's so cool'. Now it's more along the lines of ' Well, bleep, it doesn't bleeping work! '
