I agree it’s not likely, especially given the team’s track record. I just think it shows that a color wheel is probably the optimal way of handling the situation.

They should have never removed it as a feature to begin with, especially in regards to eyes/skin/hair colors.

Some awkward design choices were made for sims 4. Makes me wonder.....why? This game has always become more advanced with each iteration. But not with this one. I like sims 4 , but create a style and color wheel were groundbreaking new features ? and sims 4 didnt go a step further and add any groundbreaking features

So, people actually purchasing the game and participating actively and mostly constructively in the game's own forums accomplished nothing, but a social media blitz made them quake in their boots. That's informative.

Basically. I guess that means we should all be hashtagging the Gamechangers 24/7 to get any changes done. Because I guess reading the Sims forums, reddit, or even comments on Youtube is too complicated. #betterpersonalitiesPlumbella

It actually makes a lot of sense.

Twitter is more relevant as a platform . It’s more engaging.’The Sims’ is there because so are a lot of their fans . In fact a ton more simmers are active there , than here.

But I’d also like to add that simmers on Twitter are every bit as valid as simmers that share their opinions *here* .

And yes, an uprising on social media is not something most companies want for their brand.

I'm a simmer and I hardly ever use twitter and all my friends don't even use theirs.

I don't even have one. I stay away from social media as possible.

That’s fine . But many including myself, are there.

It’s honestly their job to engage with their player base. Them not being on Twitter would actually make less sense.

You guys better get #UnleashTheDragons or something trending, so I can get my boy Torch. The longer I go without him in The Sims 4, the more I'll pollute this forum like a dark plague.

That's not really their job though. That's the job of the marketing team and the community manager and the mods here. They are producers, programmers and artists, they are paid to make a product. If EA pays them extra to boast on twitter, I don't know. Lindsay handled it well though...it seems impossible to appease to that crowd.

yes but just listening to your customers on twitter only is where the problem is.

Yes, and right now I'm asking myself why I should ever fill out a survey again, when all I need is to spam their twitter accounts to get what I want.

Okay I wouldn't do this anyway, because I'm not on twitter and I never plan to join there.

It is their job. Thats why they do it. This forum isnt the only place where they need to interact with their fan base and communicate with their players about whats going on. Again, maybe some of you dont realize this, but The Sims has millions of players and they *arent* all here .

Its puzzling to me why the people on this forum keep insisting that only the forum matters, its absurd.
