The biggest problem when they release a pack you don't personally like or want to buy/play is the fact that it will take SO LONG for the next opportunity to get a pack you may like. They've been saying a new game pack is on the way for a while now. For those of us who have zero interest in this Star Wars Game Pack, where does that leave us? It means we now have to wait MONTHS for them to announce another pack and HOPE that the next pack is something we will enjoy. To me, that is the most upsetting part.
I already was not interested in the Knitting pack and now since I'm not interested in the Star Wars pack, that is now 2 in a row that do not speak to me as a player. They are not doing good as far as I'm concerned at this moment in time. I am disappointed. I hope they come up with another pack soon and that the next pack will appeal to me.

I can understand certain people wanting knitting. I can understand certain people wanting vampires. I can understand certain people wanting laundry... however, one thing I absolutely NEVER remember ANYONE asking for is a Star Wars game pack! Prior to this pack being announced, never once have I seen a single person express a desire for a pack revolving around Star Wars.

After this reveal, I'm honestly starting to feel bad about criticizing Eco Lifestyle... Even that pack isn't nearly as bad as this.

> Nobody is worse off this time than previously. If you don't have any interest in several packs, then that is just plain unfortunate. That's just life being life. It's no one's fault.
Well, apart from EA's. They will be the ones who are worse off when they see dwindling interest in the franchise that we love. Then it will be us, the playerbase, that suffers when they decide to potentially invest less time and money into the Sims. Its a downward spiral and its their doing.

The Sims is a game that helped me get through some really hard times in my life... in some ways, it actually saved my life as a kid because it was my way of being able to cope with bullying in middle and high school. The Sims 2 and 3 were reasons for me to keep pushing through life because they brought me happiness.
It's upsetting to see the franchise go down the way it is...

It's like watching an old friend self destruct, and there's virtually nothing you can do about it. I'm not even mad... Just disappointed
Maybe you expect too much from a game? I don't know that a game can keep you year after year throughout life. People are better suited for that kind of meaningful commitment.

Or not. I don't want any of those things...except maybe werewolves...maybe. *shrugs* We all have different tastes and play styles. Sometimes you get the content you like and sometimes you don't. Skip what doesn't interest you and buy what does.
You're missing the point... also, I said "for the most part".
If this was a regular space themed pack (with no Star Wars or anything like that), I can almost guarantee you the backlash wouldn't be nearly as large (if any) as it is now. The fact that it's a Star Wars pack is why so many of us are angry and upset about it. This is an obvious cash grab... it's not even up for debate.

And that is your right. Things rarely stay the same forever, including games. It's just the way it goes.

I didn't miss the point at all.
I think the backlash would still be about as heavy with any SciFi or occult pack because the realism style players aren't into it at all.
Sims 3: Supernatural and Sims 3: Into The Future didn't receive negative backlash like this... nor did Sims 4: Vampires or Sims 4: Realm Of Magic... even Sims 4: Strangerville didn't have this kind of backlash! There may have been some people who criticized these packs, but it wasn't a huge backlash... so you'd be wrong there.
People are simply sick and tired of these obvious cash grabs.

I need to skip a few packs, and this space pack is an easy skip. It might be fun, but it's just not matching my current game. It's much harder when I can't decide and often end up buying a pack that turns out being meh. I'm a long timer, so I don't want added content that is fun just for a short while.
But gonna be honest...it's running on empty...
Who wants TS5??? MEEEEE!
Hopefully something I like will come out in the fall.
