The sims community is one of the most toxic communities out there, discuss.

Clearly you haven’t seen other gaming communities, not justifying it but this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg compared to others

Uhm, absolutely not. Not by a long shot.

I've been a part of other gaming communities, the sims community takes the cake.

I guess you never played any multiplayer games. There are far more toxic communities out there. :D I feel a lot of Simmers are really passionate about the game and therefore express their feelings quite strongly!

You clearly don’t play other games!!

My husband is a game developer, this is nothing.

I'm not upset because of getting my hopes up for a major update... I'm personally upset because of the lack of them fixing major bugs that have been happening for over a month now. I couldn't care less about the gallery update. Especially not when the game is basically unplayable due to certain bugs that make specific features completely useless. This is the THIRD patch since 'Seasons'... and many bugs are still not even being addressed.

I pay a lot of money for this game... so is it really unreasonable for me to expect a game that I can actually enjoy playing? The gallery update is the least of my concerns right now. I honestly couldn't care less. I'm more concerned about getting these bugs fixed.

Same tune since the Sims 4 was announced. If this is toxic you should see the Battlefield reddit or Destiny.

Definitely agree. The forums are actually quiet a peaceful place compared to youtube, for example. As soon as a new trailer for a pack releases, especially for an expansion pack, you just have to facepalm after reading comments like "When do we get (insert random feature from previous games here)" or "Sims 3 was so much better lol."

The first example just shows how ungrateful this community is, especially the many small children who play this game who seem to have no clue how programming and developing a game works. When the City Living trailer released for example, they were constantly whining why no toddlers are in the game like adding them would only take 1 hour.

As for the second typical youtube comment, it's just stupid to even write this under a Sims 4 video. It seems like these Sims 3 lovers just click on the video to comment on how "good" Sims 3 was, like it is a fact and not an opinion.

These people are just the most disrespecful and stupid people I have ever seen online. It's true that the sims community is one of the most toxic, unthankful and whiny communities out there.

Edit: As others have said, there are definitely communities that are more toxic, especially those of multiplayer games, but the sims community is toxic in other ways, like I've written above, they are more whiny than anything.

Disagree, play a MOBA or any sort of battleground game and you'll find people who make the most "toxic" members of this community look like angels.

As for the gallery update, let's just say, I didn't even know it was coming (I haven't been involving myself with the game or its news for a little bit recently), and it still disappointed me. The gallery needed an overhaul but it needed much more than just a visual one. After hearing that they tried to tease it to you guys (even if they played it down themselves), I can, for once, understand the moans and groans heard amongst the community this time around.

Mmm. I've played quite a few mmos actually, and the Sims communities are far more whiny, entitled and toxic.
