    How did we normalize getting very small & overpriced DLCs, yet give praise for them & attack those who think otherwise?

    Posted: 18 May 2020 06:22 AM PDT

    Recently, I got in an argument with someone on Twitter because they kept insisting how the upcoming Eco Lifestyle expansion pack is going to fundamentally change the game and how hard it is to build such an EP, adding the fog effect and garbage assets in a polluted world for example.

    Excuse me, but what? How did we go there? How did we set the bar THIS low?

    We normalized paying $40 on an EP that hardly changes the game. Like, it's your money, do what you want with it. But when you compare those EPs to DLCs in other games (The Witcher 3 B&W is almost like a fully fledged game for a launch price of $30), they don't stand a chance. And so many other AAA titles and non-AAA titles alike with DLCs that are provided with much more content & work than EPs, yet, they are cheaper.

    And the thing is: a ton of people still praise those EPs and talk about how hard it was to make them.

    Some Sims fans might think that the DLCs we're getting (seasons, cats and dog, etc) are big in terms of how much they fundamentally change the game and have a ton of content, but wouldn't you think a life simulator would have to include those features in the base game, at least some basic weather effects?

    They technically brainwashed the entire community into believing that those are things that require so much hard work to program and implement to the point they can't be basic features (mind you, it's a billion dollar AAA title in a multi-billion dollar company). People still eat the seasons features up like it's literally next gen technology, not realizing the exact same EP has been there since 2004.

    For example, watch Plumbella's reaction of Paralives. You will very easily notice how much she is scared the features of Paralives (the extra customizable furniture like bunk beds, etc) would affect the functionality of the objects & the game.

    Why? Because we've basically been brainwashed by the developers into thinking that those are extremely time consuming, extremely hard to implement & program and are near impossible to put into the game. Unless they're still stuck in 2004, these features are literally child's play for other games that are NOT even AAA titles.

    It's easy to just throw the blame at EA, but the blame isn't even only on them. There are some EA games that get a reasonable amount of content in DLCs (though still kinda overpriced, but at least provide a reasonable amount of content). But with TS it's just absurd at this point. If the devs truly wanted to make a great game with great DLCs, they would have done that. Maxis is a huge studio with so many employees.

    Not only that, but how the gurus get extremely defensive (read: Grant) whenever someone points something like that out. Someone respectfully expressed an opinion like mine on Twitter and instantly got a block from Grant's guru account and personal account (even though he didn't mention the personal account and said feedback was directed at the guru account). The Sims community is literally the only one in the gaming community that lets the devs get away with giving very little content for a huge price just so they don't offend the devs and their "hard work".

    My question is: how did we normalize getting those very small packs and paying an absurd amount of money for the little content they provide, and yet, generally, the community still praises those packs?

    How did we normalize attacking those who think that the concept of SPs is absurd & EPs are extremely overpriced and lacking, and if someone says so they're "toxic" and "extremely negative" and are told to just not buy them?

    That's it. I will probably get downvoted to oblivion because of this. I love The Sims and I really wish I didn't have to write all that but it had to be said. We've reached a point where we're blatantly getting scammed and we're praising those who scam us.

    Edit: Thanks for the silver /u/IReallyLovePenguins, /u/animalcrackwhores, /u/katsarvau101 & /u/ladygrey94. Thanks /u/gabz09, /u/About48Ninjas, /u/Emergencyhiredhito & /u/ofkkx for the gold and the people who gave the rest of the awards!! I didn't expect this post to be received this well lol

    My sims were friends a few minutes ago. Until I made them stand back to back and fart at each other until they despised each other.

    EA should overhaul/upgrade TS4 instead of releasing TS5

    Posted: 18 May 2020 08:02 AM PDT

    The Sims 4 is on the edge of greatness. It's lacking in core gameplay depth, but I think it's totally fixable. Rather than releasing The Sims 5 and losing six years of DLC, EA should release a massive overhaul update to revitalize The Sims 4.

    SimGurus have said that updating the core/base game is hard to justify financially. Imagine if, instead of putting resources into The Sims 5, they put 1/4th of those resources into overhauling The Sims 4. They could release it as a huge, exciting update. They could even rename the game or add something to the title to signify the magnitude of the change, like "The Sims 4: 2020 Edition" or "The Sims 4: Next" or something.

    If the core gameplay were improved, they could keep this generation alive for at least another five years. And all of the content they invested in (the millions of EPs, GPs and SPs for TS4) would continue to earn them profit for years to come.

    The Sims 4 has beautiful aesthetics and a lot of great innovations (CAS and Build/Buy). Now imagine if a massive update introduced:

    • Story progression
    • Overhaul of emotions system
    • Sims 2-style wants and fears system
    • More consequences/reactions to situations
    • More dynamic gameplay
    • More danger and chance of accidental death
    • Improved relationships system
    • Etc...

    I think it's realistic, considering that modders have already created some of these features on their own.

    Would you like to see a massive update? Or would you rather just get The Sims 5?

    Tfw you don’t get story progression or traits but the graphics are top notch

    So I edited Johnny Zest in CAS (no CC), and honestly he is probably the most attractive sim I've "made", I used None of the body part presets, just straight up edited the RAW Johnny! He's been my little secret for a month and 4 days, and I've been so scared to post him

    Giving your sims a little 'smirk' can help add more realism to their faces, not all human faces are symmetrical after all.

    I’m obsessed with this house I made in TS3

    Posted: 18 May 2020 05:23 PM PDT

    I despise what they did to Malcolm Landgraab in the Sims 4, so he grew up and used his portion of the family funds to build a sustainable tiny community in anticipation of Eco Living.
