Would anyone else buy a new game based on the Sims Medieval?

I'm currently really enjoying TSM again so I would definitely be interested.
This game would have really deserved more EP's.

Been playing TSM for years and still play it. For me, base Sims is too open for me, and having quests and objectives really appeals to my gameplay style. Been on the hunt recently for games similar to TSM, since I've gotten platinum on more than half the kingdoms so far, and it does drag a bit running into the same quests over and over.

@psi_overtake Yes, but repeating quests is nescessary for completing ambitions. You need to learn how to twist the quests with the different heroes to get the outcome you wish for succeeding.

@Simsister2004 Yup, I've been trying to do quests differently by picking different choices, or by using different heroes. I don't have the best memory, so I don't even notice it half the time, but I do try to keep track of which quests I need to drag on (for platinum) and which take a while that I can do faster (like Animuslaver).

I'm gonna give Castaways a try over the weekend, but not before finishing off this kingdom! Currently on the one where you need to reach high renown but save RP.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. I would throw all my money at this game in less than the time it takes for me to load up Sims 4.

What's hilarious is that TS4 is a repetitive, goal-oriented game just like TSM is... but I miss it like burning and I'm sad it only got one expansion. I dragged out the gameplay in the quests as long as I could to still get the top level for it, just to have fun with the interpersonal stuff and skills advancement. God, I wish that EA could figure out a way to make those games sell, because this is definitely a shut-up-and-take-my-money situation for me.

I only partly agree because I have actually played bigger, better and more challenging rpg games. So even though I partly agree then for me TSM still had the following problems:
1. It was meant to be a Sims game and therefore still targeted mainly at young teen girls who were assumed to only be interested in easy games.
2. It was meant to be a sidegame to TS3 and for simmers who maybe thought that the main game was too big. Therefore EA wanted the game to stay quite small like EA always does with sidegames such that the simmers are more likely to soon switch back to the main game.

But I still agree that TSM had so many options to become expanded that it was a pity that EA wouldn’t allow it to become a much bigger game because then I for sure would have played it for a much longer time! It was a very good game that only was too small and a little too easy.

I don't have the quote handy, but EA has said the main demographic for The Sims Franchise is teenage girls and that is their target audience. Yes, others play it, but it is designed and aimed at teen girls. This isn't random conjecture. Erpe is repeating what EA developers have said.

Anyway, TSM has a place in my heart and I really wish it had been fleshed out better. I would enjoy a remake, but that is highly unlikely to happen.

I would love a open world sandbox the sims medieval with all the life stages and proper build mode! Or a the sims 3 style of the sims 2 castaway! I still play it sometime, and play the sims 3 that way because I love the idea of a survive-and-build-a-community-in-a-few-generation game style!

I completely agree :)

But it is more than that:
1. I loved TSM. But I didn’t like that it was so much smaller and easier than other similar games from other companies because I loved the bigger size and the higher difficulty degree of those games too.
2. It was although obvious to me that the reason why TSM was made smaller and easier was that it was meant as a substitute for an EP and also that it had the same purpose as the 3 games in the Sims Stories line of sidegames to Sims 2: to target customers who likely thought that the main game was too big and maybe also needed a smaller game that could run better on their not very expensive laptop.

So while I really had wanted TSM to become a bigger and even better game I also understood that it would never happen and why.

I understand why some simmers want to deny the fact that the newer Sims games all mainly have been targeted at young teen girls because they find this fact insulting. But the reason sure isn’t that EA doesn’t want older simmers (and males too!) to play the game. EA just can’t really see a way to both make the Sims games into easy games for young girls (and as dressup games and about decorating too) and at the same time give it more challenging gameplay as older and more experienced simmers would have loved. TS4 shows this even much more than TSM does because EA would never have made such a simplified basegame if TS4 had been targeted much at older simmers too. (But EA sure hoped that the older and more experienced simmers would buy the game too anyway!)

So I sure agree that we would have loved a SIms game that would have been mainly us experienced simmers instead! I just can’t agree with simmers who for me to see just want to close their eyes and deny the fact that we actually aren’t the target group for the Sims game. (At least not anymore which also clearly must be the reason why the developers don’t discuss the game with us in the forum anymore like they did in the old Sims 2 forum.) I don’t like this fact at all - I have just learned to accept it and live with it because I know how disappointed (and likely even angry) I would become every time EA releases small and simplified Sims games and packs if I still hoped for EA to “finally release something better”.
