We now can buy real life Sims stuff

Is it all going to be Sims 4 related or will there be Sims 3, Sims 2, and Sims merchandise as well?

I gotta say I'm not quite understanding some of these. Like look I'm no fan of product placement and trying to profit off EVERYTHING in every way possible, but....

The ones with text look absolutely abysmal. These honestly look amateur made. The text is too high and not centered for the Y-axis, the text is too small, and in the case of the last one the formatting is really weird to me; try to align them so they look neat, don't just type them into some online T-shirt making program and say "loldone gimme money now." It looks as though they somehow managed to put less effort into those than they put into Sims 4.

The ones related to Cats and Dogs just seem so ridiculously obscure. Imagine if I'm a fan of Seal so I wanted a Seal shirt. Now imagine if - for some reason - there was specifically a "Kiss From A Rose" shirt. Now I have to hope that people specifically like THAT song or I just look dumb. Why not just stick to a Seal shirt?! Millions of people wear shirts for AC/DC or Guns and Roses, not many wear "Thunderstruck" T-shirts cause you're just more likley to not get the response you want when wearing them. Moreover, if someone has never heard of the Sims and sees that shirt, they're gonna think it's a game about cats. It's a weird choice advertising-wise, and I'm pretty sure free advertising is half the point of selling T-shirts. (other point is they're cheap and easy to make so yay money) But here we are and instead of a Sims shirt, not only do we have Sims 4 shirts, we have Sims 4 Cats and Dogs shirts. Yeah ok.

The ONLY shirt that actually looks decent to me is the green plumbob. The others just don't appeal to me whatsoever, and even the green plumbob seems not centered for the Y-axis, could stand to be bigger, and that ugly TM in the corner makes it worse. Do we really need that TM there? It's not good-looking.

Quite frankly I'm surprised to see this much excitement over these, both because I sincerely think they look awful and because....I'm sorry but when I see a company make T-shirts, I don't think "Just what I always wanted!! I LOVE this company!" No, I think "Oh guess they want more money." Here we are though, buying whatever they hand to us again and wondering why their decisions always seem so money-driven...
