Hi,
Imagine if EA and Fortiche (Arcane series) decide to tell the (dark) story of the Landgraab and Goth families, would you be interested ?
Why the Landgraab are so mean, there is certainly a good reason.

Besides, it is the kind of game hard for me to even watch others play it, much less a live action reimagining. I would much rather play the game myself instead.
It's easier to customize an existing story than starting from scratch a new universe.

The Sims 4 General Discussionyes
would i like it?
probably not
I have big track record of hating tv show versions of things
and the butchering of the stories they do with making everything into sexy trendy tv series
I prefer the lore as it is, open ended and up to player I think reducing the lore possibilities to just one canon story would be destruction of it
+ honestly i cannot believe people making tv show would be half as geek about getting it all right according to existing lore as your usual sims lore nerds are and even i make mistakes sometimes even when i am unhealthily obsessive about it so like id rather they don't mess with it tbh I don't particularily want to see how much of a mess it would be

The object descriptions often talk about events that we can't rewrite, it's a part of the game.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionFor me what would be great would be a series using CGI, not live action, with the main families Goth and Landgraab as the main protagonists but with other famous characters also explored as secondary protagonists.
Realistically for a Netflix format I think one season that focuses on each of the families might be the best way to go about it. There's a lot of internal lore within the Sims and I don't think it would be good to do it all at once.
What would be essential for me to enjoy this show would be if it stuck to the original source material and didn't do any sort of tokenism. I'm black and I don't appreciate characters being race or gender swapped in fiction. It's cheap and annoying.
Also if it can stay away from feminist and other contemporary tropes like say Jenny Smith being dissatisfied with her husband and whinging about it (as if she didn't marry the alien who impregnated her father.) that would be great.
Ultimately I would be very interested in watching a Sims based web series, but quite frankly with the state of culture at the moment I don't think it's possible to make one that wouldn't annoy long time Sims fans. Looking at other game or comic book based Netflix series, I don't think it's a good idea.
Netflix can only do good things for True Crime documentaries. American games don't translate well to the screen. This won't be like the PokΓ©mon animation in the 90s, because the culture is more bigoted now.

Personality,depth,humor,consequences,lore,customization.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
The whole point for the Sims.Its for us to control and tell our stories.Having a sims series would take away from that .It misses the main point of the sims.
