Sims 4 and False Advertising
The launch trailer that came out REALLY makes me sick. I know I posted a very positive thread for compliments and this thread is gonna come off as negative, but I just have to talk about it. When I saw green people in that trailer shaped to LOOK like aliens, I just wanted to give a middle finger to EA and Maxis. The fact that they did that, thinking they could trick the non informed buyers into thinking they were aliens is just so...AH! And someone just posted a thread about a car wash being in the background in the trailer as well even though there are no usable cars.
This is definitely going into consideration when I score this game for my review.
And a little mini rant: I hope they get their act together with all the supernatural, cause ever since Sims 3, they don't know how to balance that stuff.
Okay, that's all I have to say ya'll. Just had to get that off my chest. Now if you'll excuse me..

This is an outrage! I'm canceling my pre order.
Thats a shame for people who don't know you can make green sims.
BTW its not really false Advertising because they never said there was aliens but they did try make look like it was.
So, I don't believe a word out of their mouths, including "hello," but it is reprehensible to imply there are aliens, because they are going to make people who are unfamiliar with their deceptive practices think aliens are in the base game the way they were in Sims 2 TEN years ago.
You do realize that Aliens in The Sims 2 are only cosmetic differences. The only difference between an Alien and a Sim is Skin Tone and the Eyes. That's it.
The Sims 4 offers the same thing. Skin tone and the ability to change the pupil size so it's all black.
They aren't advertising you can get abducted. Aliens in The Sims 2 don't even have different interactions etc.
People need to remember the Aliens you make in Create-A-Sim and the Aliens that abduct you are not the same.

Also the CarWash is decor, they never said you could use it. That's like saying "I WANTED TO VISIT THE LIGHTHOUSE BECAUSE I COULD SEE IT!" in The Sims 3, so NEGATIVE REVIEWS!
It's just childish at this point.

I feel bad for the uninformed buyers and that cat is adorable
This is how all good con artists work: "Sure, I showed you a green person, but I never said there were aliens. YOU saw a green person and thought it was an alien! It's all YOUR fault that you got your hopes up!"
This is how they leave themselves an out, so that it's always your fault, never theirs. Sociopaths use the same tactics.
Thats really not the point .

Well, it was a "CONVINCING FICTION"! lol
Obviously, you never played Sims 2, since that is not all there was to aliens. There were also alien abductions and alien pregnancies.
It doesn't surprise me one bit...Go back to all Sims videos and pictures. So much false advertising and misleading.
Me too, I can never understand why someone would go out and blindly purchase a game without seeing what it's all about and stuff first.
Thanks, thats Grumpy Cat
To support the franchise.
It really is though.
There are two SEPARATE things. There are Alien Sims, which you make in Create-A-Sim:
And there are Aliens:
---
The Sims 4 (like The Sims 3) allows you to make Alien Sims. They do not include Aliens.
These are two separate species in The Sims franchise. One is the Aliens that abduct you, and actually have crashed from space.
The other is a Sim, that has the background of an Alien.
The Sims 4 (just like The Sims 3) allows you to make Alien Sims. They do not allow you to make Aliens until later on.
I think the confusion is The Sims 2 offered both at once.

Hm, maybe the franchise should support us some then, not dump an unfinished product on customers they assume too loyal to say 'no'.
But in short, Aliens and Aliens Sims ARE NOT the same thing. So EA don't call them Aliens, but hint the space theme.
Because Alien Sims are Sims that have the background of an Alien. They are NOT Aliens though.
