@jellybelly_3 That’s another thing that made me incredibly angry… the update was a middle finger to existing players…
Merfolk are the only feature of the sims that helps the game stand out because of how extremely rare they are as playable characters in games.
90% of games include ONLY mermaids and exclude the male counterpart, mermen.
The Sims is one of the few that actually do merfolk, as in the collective term for mermen and mermaids.
The second a better option comes out, I might jump ship after this announcement. I’m currently looking for options.
Instead of developing on anything that might be unique about the sims and attract people looking for specific content unique to the sims… They are jumping into the rabbit hole of trying to compete with competitors that don’t do everything they do.
As far as I know, paralives won’t get my business because they don’t have merfolk. At the same time, The Sims devs are burning their bridge with occult players like a flaming inferno…
Their restrictions on occult gameplay and no news of anything improving is fuel for my burning anger.
I’ve waited years for them to fix things with merfolk! I’m running out of patience!
