I have mixed feelings about this. I'm happy to see Plumbella, Urban, and Molly on the show living their best lives. However, it's taking time away from better game development, and we'll probably have to wait a while to get a pack that's actually good (Eco Lifestyle didn't impress me much). But also, maybe the Sims team will make enough money from this to be able to afford a big free update without having it be an update that has to go alongside an EP (like better babies).
I don't know if I'll personally watch this show all the way through, I don't really like game/competition shows, but I will give it a try since it's including some game changers that I love. I also like that this will make the Sims franchise more mainstream. It'd be nice for this game to get popular enough for me to be able to say "I'm playing Sims" and not have people assume I'm playing one of those anime dating simulators with adult content. >.>;
