I'm not trying to be funny, but Plopsy is a terrible name. It sounds like the parody name of a website, like Regretsy is to Etsy, or Goop is to Gwyneth Paltrow. Like, the name is aurally unappealing. Isn't there something that sounds less like the nickname a manager of the office would give to an intern that he thought was in love with his girlfriend in the final season of the show, if you know what I mean? (I don't).
But please, I beg of you, please change the name. Popsy. Flopsy. Topsy. Mopsy. Opsy. Bopsy. Cropsy. Fopsy. Hopsy. Glopsy. Zopsy. Yopsy. I don't know, but all of those suggestions I came up with were way better than Plopsy. I feel like Plopsy is an April Fool Joke. I feel like Plopsy was chosen by a 5-year old. It is the kind of word that makes my skin crawl because I don't like it. I think it's because it sounds like plop. I hate that word. Is there any way it could be altered to something more appropriate?
I don't remember how to change my signature.

Considering the pandemic means that the guru's are working from home... that it was chosen by a 5 year old isn't impossible...
I almost agree with the word being... off for what's essentially supposed to be the Sim's version of Etsy, but really Etsy has always struck me as a bit of a weird word too, so I'm not sure how it isn't "appropriate." It's just a term you don't like, and you're probably far from alone. I'm not fond of it, but I don't have your level of "nope" reaction, and I think it will probably grow on me.
Besides, I guess most of the goods found on sale there will be kinda funny, not perfect, or weird color choices or whatever. Assuming that my knitters will keep those perfect works for gifting their own family and friends
Flopsy, Opsy or Cropsy would sound weird to me though. But still I couldn't be bothered.
Edit: ah, I see there actually is something called Smitsy lol. Never knew that. I guess they have their choices narrowed down by not being able to use a real name.

we all try ...
I'll need to check who is my highest career level Start Up Entrepreneur in my rotational save. That's the one who's to blame for the name, because that sim set up the whole mess (and I'm pretty sure it really is the lady with the six year old son...)
That is exactly my issue, and that makes me cringe.
For goodness sake. Plopsy is going to be the Etsy of the Sims universe and is coming with the knitting pack. It has nothing to do with poop.
Mmmkay... Well that's what it sounds like to me. is that alright?
Haha, totally agree! That’s how I read it. Also agree that Google, Yahoo, Quibi, Wurk, Cazoo, Hastee, Pluto!, Suplari, all sound pretty silly too. To me Plopsy sounds just as much a play on Etsy as it is a lighthearted jab at how silly lots of modern tech business names sound. ☺️
I think Plopsy is so funny. But it sounds like it’s the “moist” of word aversion for some folks!
Plopsy is going to be the Sims equivalent of Etsy with the new Stuff Pack. Sims will be able to buy and sell their crafts (painting, woodwork, knitting) online using the platform.
