More YA & party stuff in new EP while other playing styles are ignored

I try not to fuss, but another YA & party stuff? Really? The basegame is full of it and I don't care for the party scene at all. I like to put bars in some homes or businesses or outside near pools at rich homes, but truth be told, my homes next to never have them. The closet is really all I care for in this. I'm sure there are great interactions, clothes, and hairstyles, but it is the very last thing I wanted or would ever dream they would put in. Are the devs. party mongers or teens, as they seem to be stuck on this subject really bad? And what a bad example for the young players; a game full of drinking and partying.
I wanted Seasons or Generations. Now, not only has it broken my dreams for some real gameplay that changes the game, but I find out it comes out in Nov. which breaks my dreams of getting an EP now and maybe getting one before Christmas. How horrible that the last Ep of the year has no real game play and isn't a huge game changer; just more of the same.
I probably still will get it because it will probably have nice interactions, clothes, hair, and those closets. But, I'm starting to only play this game a time or so a week when I use to play daily for hours. I gave this game huge breaks even after open world & toddlers were skimped on, but to get more YA & party stuff on top of what we have in the base game is really uninspired. If you were going to copycat yourselves, you could've at least done it with jobs. I would've rather had another career pack with the nanny, gardener for hire, house builder, and cake dancers at parties. I can only hope the gamepacks & stuff packs are worth it the rest of the year.

It is and it was complained about nonstop in S3 store for a year or more. They had to know that people want diversity. And I could be wrong, but I don't think the majority of their customers are YA; I'm not.
I didn't realize that. It really is awful that this is the last EP of the year, but maybe that will be something great.
Well, I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not the player is a young adult. In real life most experiences of note happen as YA/A; college, new career, finding themselves, dating, partying, getting married and maybe starting a family. That is why those life stages are the main target.
Yep there is a demo they will be showing. Hopefully it shows stuff that wasn't in the trailer.
You know you don't have to do any of that, right?
Spin it however you like but it's a fact this game has little to offer in gameplay unless you want to party hardy in the game. The others were fully rounded offering each age group and player style more to do in each EP having to do with their family Sims. This game fails on that front big time.
If this is the case shouldn't university be next?
It's no spin. I play single sims that do not party and I also play with families that spend time together on outings. So, where is the spin?
Also, I have all expansion packs and stuff packs for TS3 as well as the majority of the store and I still enjoy TS4 immensely.
Yes. That is the main point of this discussion; they are leaving out different styles of playing to add more of the same. They have known for a year that change.org has a petition for families/toddlers that has thousands of names and have had pleanty of time to add an EP for the end of the year. No more am I believing that they don't have time; they just chose which direction they wanted to go. Meanwhile, I'm playing less and considering for the first time not buying.
That is me. I played for hours a day at one time and I've really been giving S4 a real chance even with the bugs, which luckily I don't have many problems with, but I draw the line at getting only one play style that I really don't use and that we already have. If we didn't have much, then I would say nothing as I do understand that others like different play styles from me, but Party stuff has been done to death.
Well, that is definitely a choice. I know I will be buying because I liked everything I've seen so far., which was the ability to do more social things. Don't know exactly where all the party talk is coming from. We had one stuff pack that included items that could be used for almost any venue for different purposes. But, to each is/her own.
What play style are you missing? I feel the game is open ended and can be played any way you like. I play both single sims and with families, so when people make certain statements I tend to get confused by this. Other than Generations in the TS3 the only other big content geared towards babies/toddlers were store items which people had to pay a hefty price for.
Well, it may have went over better if the basegame didn't have a bar and was full of it. It does have some nice things like the closets, but nothing have to have. When I think of the diversity of content that hasn't touched S4 and the complaining that has gone on months before S4 was released, I don't understand their thinking. If I was running it, I would want to please the masses. There are groups wanting:
City buildings
Seasons
Generational Play
Farming
Different Cultures(it is my hope they do this as a gamepack for each culture so that they can do it right)
Supernaturals
Real Islands with real swimming and swimming features for pools like slides, floaties, ect.
Cars and more open neighborhoods
Goth stuff
I use to want Seasons or Generations, but any of that would've been better than this.
They are a company obviously they don't care about our feelings, but do or should care for what we costumers need\want. I am interested in the pack though, but I do still need more info on it. I'm not spending 40€ on just a world and other small things like closets lol
