Also, they removed items from packs we paid for long ago and patched them as BG items. I'm honestly kind of mad. I understand that they added new recolours but....I still payed for those assets.
Wait...What items did they remove? And that hair is kinda' ugly, ngl.
The cap from GTW is now BG.
The jacket you see on the picture that was from Get Famous is now BG.
A bracelet from Seasons is now BG.
A shirt from Backyard stuff is now BG.
A hair from Dine Out is now BG.
A sweater from Fitness Stuff is now BG.
Basketball shorts from Parenthood are now BG.
Basically the clothes from the packs that you see on the new render are all now BG.
But...but why??
....why not? It seems a bit silly to me but I'm not going to get bent out of shape about 7 items from among the entire library of packs.
The packs have little enough content as it is without taking stuff OUT.
They're not gone.
Honey, you payed for these items, at least I did. For them to be patched is a slap in the face. "It's only 10 items" well they keep this up and we are going to have all of the items from all the packs we paid be put in the BG. I'm sorry but I can't be this passive about it.
I didn't invite you to call me "honey."
You can spend your energy on this if you choose to but it's an attitude I neither respect nor support.
I didn't meant to offend with the "Honey", I guess it's just a normal thing to me, I'm sorry.
But I honestly can't be this passive. Today is the hand tomorrow is the entire arm. Knowing how EA handles things, it's not going to stop, not to mention how small SP's currently are, they have been made even smaller in content.
I was at least hoping for some fixes on all the Sulani glitches and bugs. Guess my mermaid family and stories will be on hold for another month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Is there really a real actual intro video now ? In 2019 ?
No. It's the same one we had but now the plumbob hovers around the screen when the EA and Maxis logo show up, and instead of a white backdrop, it's blue now.
Disappointed , I've been excited to try the new CAS story type, but that menu screen, thank goodness it's only for a short moment because I couldn't stand to look at that long, not happy that folks, and I own all packs, paid for game packs and some of us, im one, at full price just to have parts of those now free with base game, talk about a slap in the face, glad toddlers will be fixed, mine last night had 2 toys stuck to her, one in each hand.
Vampires needed to be fixed again, hope they truly were, but restaurants are something pretty much everyone uses in their games and it seems like no one can use them, at all. I understand they have teams working on diff parts, maybe it's time to add more folks to the bug fixing team, make sure you have a good working product. I was over the moon about witches this Fall, but will it even be playable?

ummm WHERE ARE THE BUG FIXES!?!?! Sheesh this game omg.
This is why I get so upset about adding stuff like Alexa and rebranding and first person etc. It is not like I hate these things. I am just so frustrated major bugs like oh I don't know something major like fixing mermaid genetics are not addressed before adding in more useless stuff. We are talking about a major feature of an expansion. We can fix how an icon looks for those who don't own the pack but not fix stuff IN the PACK...LOL Wow just wow
Different people and teams do all of this stuff. Yes the amount of bug fixes is very disappointing but the stuff added had no effect on what was fixed and what wasn’t.
While I agree with you, the priority that is given to the game is off as they delay bug fixes and introduce new stuff, the bugs tend to increase. It appears to me that the coding in the Sims series in its entirety is delicate and if not handled appropriately the bugs will manifest itself over time and for me I see it happening and it has been happening. For me even if there is an seperate team it still does not put them in an good light as the bugs tend to overshadow the changes for those who tend to choose what is more important to them. Most people rather have most of the bugs fixed before moving forward with any changes or addition of more material.

Indeed. What's the point in getting more stuff that doesn't work? Seeing it fail in new and fantastic ways?

Knowing how EA handles things, it's not going to stop, not to mention how small SP's currently are, some of them have been made even smaller in content with this update. In no time they'll be charging 10$ for just the one gameplay item. It's just not ok.
No worries...just a bit of a hot button for me, which you would have no way of knowing.
I'm honestly not concerned about the items, and I really could take or leave the rebrand, but I am increasingly frustrated by the large and growing number of bugs that never get seem to get addressed. I find it particularly frustrating when an old bug gets fixed after an extended period of time and then shows up again and seems to start the clock over from the beginning. And as much as I appreciate (or don't mind) patches that add new items or change things up, I would really prefer to see changes/content that come hand in hand with a visible and concerted focus on fixing the existing issues with the game. In fact, I'd rather see patches dedicated solely to technical fixes.

Great now people will start using these background objects in their builds and they said in the patch notes that because they’re not supposed to be used, the Sims will walk right through them. Didn’t hear them mention this in the Maxis Monthly.
That sounds all kinds of irritating and ugly to me smh

They weren't worth $10 to begin with, but now?

But I'm very worried instead.

Best case scenario is that we’re getting another patch later this month, worst case is that they don’t care anymore.
Smart money is on the latter.
Was considering to bundle Island Living with Dine Out, but with all the bugs people keep mentioning, I give up. No patch, no buy.
They did address, like, three bugs.
Really annoyed that they continue to do this.
I envy your youthful optimism.
Wait they did what NOW??? Someone explain
That sounds all kinds of irritating and ugly to me smh
