It worries me when people call townies who are darker-skinned, older, or pear-shaped "trash" or "vermin." I know these Sims are just computer-generated objects, but they represent real people, and I always wonder if the people saying those things feel that way about real-life people as well.
I think a farming pack is overrated. I already have farms in my games that work beautifully with the gardening update, I don’t need pigs, chickens, cows, or horses.
I like the gardening update.
Yeah I don’t want farm animals either.
My only issues with the gardening update are needing to evolve every single plant manually by clicking which is annoying, and how difficult it is to get results from splicing plants. Trying to get a cowplant berry without mods would probably take a sim’s entire adulthood on long.

I agree with this.
what I didn't know people say that. Thats awful. I don't really like to play that much with older sims but I don't disrespect them I let them live and die of old age. And I do have a special bond with all sims I create so even when they are old I like to see them well even if I don't play with them.
In the end they are the parents or grandparents of my sims. I really like to have a big family tree with grandgrandgrandparents.
sims players can simply be called casual gamers and there's no reason to be mad when hardcore gamers call them not actual gamers.
Honestly what makes you an hardcore gamer? those gamers that call themselves hardcore gamers only play counter strike and fortnite and plum like that. Please...... many hardcore gamers only know one type of games they only play shooting games and call themselves hardcore? I never called myself hardcore and I play mmorpg, rpg, single player games like sims, don't starve and tomb raider. And those ''hardcore'' gamers are so toxic that makes the gaming community completely unwelcome for others, and honestly I'm really happy sims game community is so easy going and not toxic. Honeslty I'm glad that those ''hardcore'' gamers don't like to get mixed with people that play sims because I don't like to be mixed with people that call themselves 'hardcore' gamers just because they play shooting games like those games are superior than sims? please.....
I don't mind being called a casual gamer what I don't like is when people think they are better because they play a certain time of games compared with others and we all know that those ''hardcore'' gamers only say that to offend people and to put themselves in a higher stand compared with others and thats just imature.

I don't think anyone said anything about darker-skinned people or pear-shaped people on this thread
I did see something about elders but I'm sure they were only referring to the game making to many of them at times

Considering how needy dogs are, I don’t even want to speculate how annoying a farm full of animals would be.

It wasn’t on this thread it was on another thread and those were pretty much the poster’s exact words. I saw it just before Rounpucelle made her post here and it bothered me when I saw it because it seemed pretty aggressive and venomous.
My First Pet Stuff isn't as horrendous as it's made out to be. If they hadn't added the items that require Cats & Dogs I believe it would have been way less controversial. It has some cute decor and CASsets, and the caged animals were well done. I especially like that children can study the rodents and that counts as their daily homework; I would love to have more options like that (for children and teens) as a break from the boring workbook (I wish doing the school projects counted as homework as well instead of having to squeeze in time for both, but that's another topic. There's enough in the pack that it's more than just "DLC for DLC" as some have complained.

I think the community’s demand for multiple packs per year is detrimental to the game. I firmly believe that the game would be better served with annual or even biennial large expansion releases.
I know number of lots is the prime factor to a lot of players (myself included) which Del Small Valley had failed to offer, but let us not all forget how Get Famous substantially expanded a huge amount of base game mechanics like how the fame and reputation system affects all them careers and social interactions and actions which our sims do.
this defines what a true expansion pack should be; not just adding content but also expanding existing mechanics in a good way.

I miss that too. Honestly I would have been happy with just Island Living and Realms of Magic being released this year. I have never been a fan a SPs, and find them an useless distraction from work that could have been done for the base game and EPs beyond just the Sims 4, but Sims 3 and 2 as well.

No, I was just expressing my unpopular opinion about something I've frequently seen in other threads.
The most I miss about sims 3 is cars, having a garage, and the open world. Even with the bugs, yeah I said it!
Hahaha
Out of curiosity - why do you "miss" Sims 3 period? Why can't you just chose to play your Sims 3 game? I mean - when and IF - I miss one of my other games - well I go play them, not expect my present game to become the missed one of course - why have two of the same game anyway? I respect the Sims games as much for their differences as for areas of related likeness - but by no means do I want them to be just alike. Why would I even buy a game just like one I already have anyway - they all need to be different from one another and have individuality - otherwise aren't they just the same game renewed?

I think the demand comes from the lack of packs over the last few years (granted this has changed now), like before Vampires was released, the game had some very lacklustre packs, I mean they were nice, but nothing overly exciting.
Give our Vampires back their fangs!!! Reverse the Nerf!!! Occult simmers should not be shoved aside for the "realism players"! It's time Occult lovers/players started to demand equal treatment. #JusticeForOccults

The complaint is not that the game dared to make such townies. The complaint is that the randomizer responsible for creating townies is broken and trash, and the result is the game continuously creating Only dark-skinned and pear shaped townies, usually with bright orange or yellow hair, elders, and single parent families where the parent and child are polar opposite in appearance. Add in a broken name generator that recycled the same dozen or so names, and the overly-enthusiastic clothing selector and what you’re left with is a game filled with NPC’s and Townies who basically look like clowns.
What was intended to add diversity of ethnicity and variety just ended up doing the exact opposite.
I don’t believe for a second that anyone who has complained about townies being dark skinned, or old, or pear shaped was complaining about anything other than the results of EA’s horrendous and broken game code and the crazy clown pixels it inflicted on their neighborhoods.
As bad a cashgrab MFPS is, I would want a My Second Pet Stuff pack one day. I want more pets, and I don't see any other pack delivering lizards, proper fish, birds or crabs.
