Why is there no effort put into pre-mades’ family trees and ancestors?
In previous Sims’ games (especially Sims 2) The developers made a lot of effort to show characters’ heritage and backstories. I loved reading all about their upbringing, family trees, memories etc but it seems The Sims team don’t make as much effort these days which is a shame.
If we look at the Sims 4 pre-made families, all of them are first generation (no ancestors), their outfits are dull, they don’t have any storylines or interesting connections to other families. Almost like they were thrown together last minute by a random generator.
When they have included iconic Sims in Sims 4, they’ve forgotten or disregarded their personality and original family tree so there are inconsistencies, this seems lazy? For example, Dina & Nina’s mother is Nighat Caliente in TS2 but in Sims 4, it’s Katrina? It makes no sense and apart from their hair colours, the twins don’t really resemble the original characters physically or personality. If Dina Caliente isn’t the same gold-digging, Alien descendant, fashion icon then what’s the point?
I know some of the requests we ask for content wise is limited because of resources and budget etc but adding a back story, heritage and making a bit of effort to follow the ancestry rules would take minimal effort and no financial resources?
I’d love to see more references to the iconic families like Goth, Landgraab, Alto, Crumplebottom etc in the future. I feel like the Sims team are overlooking how important these little details are but maybe it’s just me?
