Is there ever going to be More Sims Medieval ?

I did buy The Sims Medieval, I was enjoying the gameplay. then I went to the Castle and noticed the game had been made and targeted at mainly 12-13 yrs old girls, pre-Teen.
Then I Bought the new one for Pirates, and again I went to the Castle It was the same Castle, and the same grounds. same shopping and worst it targeted at mainly 12-13 yrs old girls, pre-teen.
There are no differences in the Worlds, even though targeted at mainly 12-13 yrs old girls with thinking abilities. And lastly but most important even if the game were targeted at mainly 12-13 yrs old girls, 2-3-year-old girls know that's the Same Game. :| No building in the game. Proof that the game targeted at mainly 12-13 yrs old girls.
What if you bought Sims 3, and then You bought Sims 4, you loaded it and when it Opened it was Sims 3 world.
?? :o

If I enjoy a game then who it is targeted towards has no bearing on my enjoyment of said game. If I don't enjoy a game the target audience also doesn't matter to me. Who a game is targeted towards has never made an impact on my enjoyment of any game.

It's the content I enjoy, not who it is targeted to.

When I started playing WoW it was targeted towards 15 year old boys. I was a 30+ year old woman. The games targeting didn't make me stop enjoying the game. So I will keep on enjoying TSM regardless of the fact that I am not who they were aiming for :)

I love your inputs here. I couldn't agree more. There we go: We play the games we like, no matter what and for our entertainment. And furthermore we play it "our own way". :wink:

Agreed. I don’t know the distribution especially for Medieval. But I seem to remember though to have read about an investigation that said that about 80% of all simmers are females. It is the opposite for war games and shooters (and maybe also for sports games) where more likely at least 80% are males. But while such investigations are very interesting and important for marketing and their choice of the game’s target group why should we care if we like the game anyway? :)

I could not agree with you more , I am in my 20s and I still enjoy such games , simply because their content brings me good entertainment . I do see a lot of people complaining about the sims 4 lacking content and aiming towards the younger players , altho it may be true to a certain degree they did make it so that the games are closer to their base idea , a simulation. In the sims 3 they gave us a free world and loads of content that not everyones computer might take and it was more expensive ( *cough* *cough* TS3 Island Paradise ) . Before launching the sims 4 they announced that they did make major changes and that they wanted to make it a different/new kind of a sims game , that is something that a lot of people forgot , since a remake/upgrade of the game and a new type of the same game is a different thing . Not all games reach their fullest potentials ,and maybe in the future EA will make a mix of the sims4 and 3 and everyone will be happy but for now we have to accept that ; EA is currently focusing on their other upcoming projects and for now pleasing all of our expectations while developing the idea of ts4 is not currently possible . I think that the same thing happened with TSM where they had an amazing idea , went with it , but it didn't prosper . Sometimes failure is needed on the path of success .

Even tho I am a girl (i know my character is male that may be confusing its just my alter/online persona) I do agree that gender specification in games is the stupidest critique to get/have/see/hear . I did gat that a lot while playing online games that and I have been seen as a weakling in teams just because i am a female , so I made a male online persona (even tho when asked I do say my true gender so I do not falsely represent myself ) but then I was told in other games that they are supposed to be for girls ... So either way you cant win here all you can do is stand your ground and keep playing the games that you like and not the ones others dont want you to play.

I am having the same issue with my sims 3 games , i am a mac player and i have been informed that its a mac issue with the newest patch (this might not be the case tho) , you may be able to download them again if you use the disc , if not try to download them without downloading the latest patch for it

I do so hope there will be a Sims Medieval 2 with the color wheel. Also, I hope that they add Egypt, Babylon, China & North American Aboriginals along with the Europeans in the new version.
