I literally eneded up uninstalling The Sims 4 now. I don't care anymore!

Ha, that was my initial knee-plum reaction. :D
The question did come up, do I really want to continue with this series?

I really am waiting just for University and some magic.
And this is the first Sims series that I don't play like I have past games. I just sample and check new content out.
My main sims are on hold until we get Uni. I just temporary sims to try out new packs.
Each pack does bring good stuff, but also choices that make it all not so great and underwhelming.

Someone mentioned the series going on for another 5 years.
I really don't want this to go on for another 5 years. Maybe two. I like this series, but I don't love it.
10 years will just be milking it, probably without adding anything of substance that deepens game play.

At about $1000 or so over a ten year span, I guess some will say the cost was worth it to be entertained for that long.
But I think looking at the game itself, I don't think it will be worth a grand if you are paying all a once and playing for the first time.

I honestly understand the sentiment of wanting to just uninstall completely. The new “main characters” used to promote the game look awkward, like tweens/teens in young adult form. It’s very off-putting.

If there’s anything this update proved, it’s that, yet again, Maxis is out of touch.

Why are sims even eating cookies in the cover? I don't get that.

This is a game where your Sim could become a secret agent, athlete, entertainer, criminal, painter, and even an astronaut amongst other things. Yet, EA thought it would make more sense to create awkward, teen-looking young adults wearing millennial clothes eating cookies. 10/10.

I can't honestly believe that Maxis just went to the designer and said : "We'd like you to put sims eating in our new TS4 cover."......

And yes you'r right! They are all YA, in the cover. It doesn't even represent the franchise itself. Why not put a ghost NPC there? Why not put an elder or an adult looking adult. TS2 cover had an alien, a secret agent guy, a teen doing karate, a couple and an elder. The new cover art is about reflecting their target audience and not the game itself, it further cements where their priorities lie.

Probably because that wouldn’t be “inclusive” to them. And it’s not their target market.
Throw in Male and female young adult sims, I would assume one is a gay couple, few sims of colour and the job is done in their eyes.

Even though I don’t personally think it’s a good representation.
