I think they should make development of Sims 5 completely public and let the players decide what features they want (e.g. Open world, apartments, etc.)

Smaller games do it all the time, and I've got some games that have been in "early access" for six years or more. So, why should The Sims be any different? I think it could have a very positive effect on the finished product.

But Sims games aren't small. They're huge and complex.

Besides, there's no need for EA/Maxis to consult with the community further. We've been telling them what we like, and don't like, for years. If they don't have an understanding by now, early access can't help them.

In a way, TS4 has been low-key early access all along. The base game was incomplete and feature-poor. Nine years later, some of us are still waiting for the game to reach the level of playability and fun that the earlier games had by year four. I'm not keen on giving EA/Maxis an official excuse to be subpar.

Big leak of images of the demo town just dropped. Unclear what the policy is so I’m not going to post images here

Sharing leaked images of the playtest here is a no go. That playtest was under NDA due to its extremely early (pre-pre-pre-Alpha) development cycle and shouldn't be construed as representative of anything close to the final product.

Wow this is horrible. They are trying to share with the community and things like this happen. Then players complain when EA keeps everything on radio silent lock down and beg for transparency. It's understandable why they can't be as transparent as they would probably like to be. ?

The fact that a play tester or a hacker shared this classified information is not what infuriates me the most.
It is the content creators that praised and advertised it. Content creators that would throw an absolute tantrum if THEIR content, THEIR property was shared by others without their consent. Everyone on every single social media platform would know about the injustice done to these people:

”BURN THE WRONGDOER!!! MAKE THEIR LIFES MISERABLE!”

But when it’s related to “The Great Evil EA” it is somehow A-OK.

“Oh but I didn’t sign the NDA, I’m just the messenger. Don’t shoot me.”
Oh sure, Ye absolute clown.

It is obvious that these so-called “content creators” would do anything to keep their 10000+ followers entertained, even with things they’d hate to be “the victim” of. They’re absolute hypocrites. The whole lot of them. I have very little respect for them as creators. I don’t find them one bit interesting.

Grumpy auld man rant done. Let me return to my lonely hut.

Not surprising at all.

I think its because EA always has leaks? I wasn't shocked either honestly when I heard about it. lol

The issue with that is that we all want different things. A single pack isn't such a big deal. But to create an entire game according to "the community" could get ugly really fast.

They did that with Sims 4 apparently and it looks like all the extremely young people were heard most, remember the no babies debacle and no swimming pools?

I create, I've had a rant about what they are calling the next Sims game, I don't give a toss if people share my garbage. I'm also an auld wummin. There is no way to stop this and what gets me is EA's shock and disbelief when it happens all the time to them, they put security measures onto our PC's (sims 2 Securom which was breaking our PC's with two disk drives), make us play via their origin app, yet they can't protect their own property and dish it out willingly, obviously to the wrong people. In my opinion, this is free advertising, I'm wide awake.
