Total disappointment with the new pack. Does EA care what their simmers want!!

My mind was totally blown when I heard the new expansion pack was star wars. Really!!! I've been playing this game since Sims 1 in the very beginning and this is the worst yet. Fine, you want to add packs like this, but fix what doesn't work first. You can show your simmers you care about them by improving the game, not adding ridiculous packs like that to waste money on. My suggestions for improvements would be: 1. improve the babies, they really need improvement, you should be able to go out with them, sit with them, pass them to other family members, change their clothes, change their cribs so they can have a real nursery, put them in strollers and leave the house with them, not be stuck at the crib!! 2. toddlers: children should be able to actually play and do more with their toddler siblings, as well as parents, toddlers should be able to sit at a child's table to eat, not just high chair. they should be able to paint, parents should be able to put them in strollers and go out with them or hold their hands. And if they do go out with them, the parents forget all about them, fix that! 3. Dancing, really improve this, bring it back the way it used to be, when you danced it was connected not this current nonsense. bring back slow dance, parents dancing with their children, that was so cool. 4. weddings need a lot of work, I don't' even bother anymore. you spend all this time setting up the perfect wedding and decor and the guest can't sit down and watch or applaud, congratulate the couple, there used to be toast and cutting of the cake. its such a disconnect, like guest, don't even know why they are there. oh and you should be able to simply buy a cake if you forgot to make one. 5. bring back horses, now that's something we can all appreciate, they were a really cool element to the game. 6. allow family members to babysit their grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, etc. 7. Fix the constant changing of clothes to the weirdest outfits. you spend all that time dressing them and they change their clothes right after when they do anything.
Make it worth it for your loyal customers to continue to want to play the game. don't' just think of useless ways for us to waste our money. I thought the game was a simulation of life, so make it more like that, I'm for fantasy games, but improve what we need first.

Many people, me included, want cars. And what about the Winter Vacation GP ?
Or real personalities ?
I love the sims, and I enjoy TS4, but there isn’t that much content, you get bored quickly and I end buying many EPs, SPs, GPs I’m not that interested in just to have new stuff to do in my game.
So I was hoping this GP would give more stuff to do for my sims, more useful build/buy etc, a Star Wars GP, even though I like SW, and it’s probably fun to play, isn’t something that will bring more to my game. So I see this as a waste of content. Or a way to promote the new SW movies.
It’s like we tell them what we want but they keep doing stuff most people don’t want. But do the devs have a word to say or are all the decisions made by EA ?
I think gurus care about what we want, but EA doesn’t.
There are doubtlessly all kinds of issues and compromises but neither "we" are the arbiters of game crafted in someone else's studio. Or home office.
Myself I possibly will not get it as I can't see the game play added to the rest of the game. Hopefully November will bring an awesome expansion and the few month some major fixes and free update patches (taking off the rose coloured glasses now)
They don't care what we want they just push it into as many things as possible.
Because money.
Knowing how badly EA has messed up ACTUAL Star wars games this should be no surprise.
That’s interesting.
I think it was Grant that said they have a lot of freedom with the theme and get to decide a lot.
I think the reason why we are getting this is because their own Star Wars games flopped. So what better way to recover their losses? Pass it to a community that will buy anything.
Exactly. I don't see why a lot of people pin the blame on the devs and the gurus, EA heavily controls what they can and can't do. They want the game to be the best it can be like all of us. I think it's pretty clear that with this pack especially, the theme was definitely chosen by the higher ups.
People attack and harrass the devs on twitter every time they don't get their way, and then they wonder why the devs dont interact with the community much.
I want bands.
I want a better personality system.
I want to play with the grim reaper.
I want to time travel into the past.
I want more interactions for all life stages.
I want bed cuddles and slow dance.
I want canes and buggies and wheelchairs.
I want more supernatural life states.
I want dragons.
I want less civilized worlds.
I want a horse.
I want a farm.
I want many things.
I also want Star Wars.
This time it was most likely money and the partnership with EA and Disney that decided the pack and not Maxis.
I'm not sure that Maxis wants to make the most requested things from their fans either though, at least not right now, maybe over a span of several more years they might do it, but I think it is taking too long. Packs like Eco Lifestyle are just draining resources over other things that more people wanted. And soon EA are going to want to cash in on the next generation consoles and ask Maxis to make a game for that. Which could pull the plug on the sims 4.
I too want everything what you listed.
And I am looking forward to the new Star Wars.😍
I don’t condone bullying gurus, but when a company makes a platform for employees to be the “public face” of a franchise (ex: the gurus program) lines become blurred between company and person for many social media users.

LOL what an absolute joke! 😂😂😂
Please Bring Back Toddlers, Realistic Teenagers and Create a World.
Make the Sims (4) Great Again<3
> Farming has been highly requested, unlike Star Wars. Though I’d rather we get it as an EP than a GP.

Farming is highly requested by a vocal minority. I don't want an EP/GP/SP that would literally require Seasons to function properly. If the pack was dlc of dlc farming or a generations pack that didn't fix all the issues, this specific vocal minority wouldn't be crying so loud because its the niche pack that they wanted.
I literally see this pack as a good pack since it is still better than TS3 Sweet Treats and I wanted a SW pack that at the very least added some gameplay for non SW fans, which it does with Sabacc
