@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!

I see where you're coming from. I love everything supernational! When the Sims 3 came out with that supernatural pack, I was obsessed. With the Sims 4, EA isn't giving much love to anything unnatural. (I made a whole discussion about it? check it out!)

As for Paralives, they are still in early development and plan to incorporate the supernatural in their game, but just later on after release. Another cool thing about Paralives is that even after release, they plan to continuously add cool updates to the base game. For example, only cats, dogs, horses, and birds I think will be in the base game, but as time goes on, they plan to add more animals to the base game with an update, so it'll be free... unlike the Sims. It's just little things like that I like. Even in the Paralives base game, they plan to automatically have the weather changing upon release!!!!

There are a lot of cool things about Paralives and I hope that you at least watch a couple of gameplays on Paralives once it is released to get a final decision.

Back to the sims; I am looking forward to seeing their progression with Project Rene, and I'm excited about the mod library, that's something that we all need.
