It’s weird. I mean nobody asked for it, and it won’t bring much needed gameplay. Give me cars. Give me real personality. Give us stuff we actually asked for.
I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and if it were a standalone game, I'd probably buy it. But i'm not interested in mixing an entire GP based on it into the Sims game. A few CAS for costumes and objects for Easter Eggs, sure, but not a whole GP. Definitely not buying, even on sale.
It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.
I'm not some huge fan of Star Wars, but I'll take whatever unrealistic gameplay I can get at this point.
My only concern is that it appears our sims won't be able to live on Batuu, but will instead be like a vacation world. I really hope this isn't the case, but I'm not holding my breath.
Sims 4 Wish List:
> Option to toggle on/off random townie generation.
> Turn vacation worlds into residential worlds.
> Option to purchase separate worlds or a world pack.
Like Star Wars on it's own. The Sims has nothing to do with this and never should. My issue with this is EA.. ignoring, delivering unasked content while so much is missing, ruining The Sims franchise loved by many and then acting like they listen and care.. Please.
I'm sick of EA giving us packs NOBODY asked for... this is becoming increasingly annoying... they KNOW what we've been demanding for since the very beginning and they're purposely ignoring us! For years, Sims fans have been DEMANDING things like farming, werewolves, more family play, casinos, amusement parks, etc... but THIS is what EA decides to create!? This is highly disappointing... and I'm speaking for the vast majority of Sims fans when I say that!
Never once did I or anyone else ever say "I want a Star Wars game pack!"... I mean, really... of all the brands they could've made a pack of, they choose Star Wars!? We've already gotten content for Star Wars in the past for FREE... and now they wanna make $$$ from it!? There are so many other brands they could've done...
They could've easily just created a regular space themed pack (which I wouldn't have necessarily been happy about, but it would've been MUCH better than Star Wars), but they didn't...
EA is purposely ignoring what fans are actually asking for... and it's sad. Paralives is looking better and better!
Unfortunately, knowing the Sims fan base, this pack will still make enough money for EA to not only justify creating it, but attempt to justify releasing more garbage packs in the future... just like what happened with 'My First Pet'...
Of all the things they could have added to the sims franchise they have to go and choose the worst option , Star wars lost my interest years ago and EA decide now when star wars is pretty much finished as a film franchise to bring something like this , They could have done so much more with vacations , music groups , proper dates . They did a survey a while back and seemingly have ignored what people wanted to try and milk their Star wars cash cow franchise , No longer do they care what people want , At least it will save me the cost of buying it
I think that some of the gameplay could be interesting and it’s something we haven’t really had before in the series, but I haven’t seen anyone ask for it and many of the more requested packs (farming, generations, supernatural) haven’t been mentioned.
However, I’m still happy for all the people who will enjoy this pack!
No thanks! I like the Star Wars movies but if I wanted to play a Star Wars game, I'd play a Star Wars game, NOT The Sims. Happy for those that are excited though.
I prefer fantasy content, and am hoping we get Werewolves soon, but I like sci-fi and this looks fun to me. I'm not deep into the Star Wars fandom but I do like it and I'll have fun taking my Sixam aliens to Batuu
Really not interested in adding this content into my game. I’m happy for those that will enjoy this type gameplay though. I thought I was a collector until this pack showed up. I just can’t rationalize spending money on a game of which I won’t utilize any assets from. I’m a little disappointed, but hopefully they are working on more realistic or family gameplay for an upcoming pack. Always happy to buy that type of content!
I remember trailer for eco living was rather weak, so i hope when we will get more info i will get hypec because right now i feel kinda whatever about this
I don't really care about Star Wars at all. And on the list of potential game packs I wanted space was very low on the list. (And no I am not just being bitter we still don't have Werewolves or Fairies yet...)
If I could have selected both "Ok, not really bothered" and "will buy in a sale" I would have. The content doesn't interest me a whole lot, I am a Star Wars fan but not to the level that I'd want to play it out in my Sims world. However, I could see having my Curious brothers get involved in this because it would be totally their thing. I need to see more to decide for sure. Is it just a destination world? Are there new types of aliens, or is it all just costumes on regular sims?
I don't know, my feelings are very mixed at the moment. The pack kind of seems like a huge advertisement for the Star Wars franchise, and for Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland & Disney World. Cool in many ways, but there are also other things I would have been much more excited for. I think I'm just going to have to sit and think on the idea of this pack for a while.
Well, I'm a huge Star Wars nerd so of course I'm excited. I'm also glad to have a city completely different from a realistic one. But of course I can understand how this pack can't please everyone. If a pack entirely about a movie or a tv show I'm not interested in were to come out, I would be disappointed too. Hope this pack will deliver some good cas or build mode to reconcile everyone.
The next pack they create better be the greatest pack in the history of The Sims... exceeding ALL expectations of anything we've ever seen before! It better be the biggest pack ever! Because if they seriously wanna put out garbage like THIS, then they best be prepared to experience backlash!
And no, I don't feel bad for any backlash they're currently getting and will continue to receive... they deserve it! It's obvious they STILL haven't learned their lesson from past experiences... they should know better by now about NOT releasing garbage packs, but they aren't getting the hint, apparently. This is like the 3rd or 4th time they've experienced major backlash for releasing a pointless pack... when will they learn!?

I have bought every EP, GP, SP, and Store Content from TS1, TS2, TS3, and TS4 until now... definitely skipping this one.
