Do You Fit The Sims 4 Unique Playerbase?

A recent (Sept 2021) Maxis job listing for a Senior Game Designer describes the game's "very unique playerbase" and proudly proclaims that 60% of The Sims 4's audience is women between the ages of 18 and 24. Of course, it mentions this for a reason, asking for applicants to have "deep insights" into creating the best experience for its unique playerbase.

    Is there an option to become an honourable member of the 60%? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️😂

    Maybe we can have a flag to show support or a badge. 🥺
    Now alternating between Sims 2,3 and 4! 😊☕️🌞

    I'm older than 24.
    Thank you @83bienchen for modding the game. Whims Overhaul is essential for my gameplay.

    I don't know whether to actually answer the poll or not, seeing as I will be turning 25 (and aging out of the demographic) in July

    I am quite literally between the two answers as of right now. :joy:

    I fit that demographic about 20 years ago when I first started to play the sims. :lol:

    I'm currently within that demographic, though it won't be for much longer. I'll be turning 25 in November.

    • > Option to toggle on/off random townie generation.
    • > Turn vacation worlds into residential worlds.
    • > Option to purchase separate worlds or a world pack.
    • > Sleepwear kit.
    • > Atomic age kit.

    I was in that demographic when I first played the sims 4, but now I’m in my late 20s.

    That’s a pretty narrow demographic. I think their Twitter demographic might skew that young, but they might be missing a sizable group that don’t “twit.”

    I'm curious to know how they know that and how accurate their methods are. Do they use actual customer info? Are people required to put their birth date in? I can't remember.

    I guess I can pretend I am in that age group. My mother always said she was 39 years old, even when I passed her! I would guess that their percentages might be off a bit.

    I think if anything they have aged their target audience up. I remember a former CM saying their target audience was teenage girls!

    Bahahah! Looks like us forum-goers aren't quite the usual demographic for the game. XD I'm a few years older than that.

    Nope, as in ancient male old enough to remember Harry Truman as president that likes to create and tell stories. Have been simming since TS1, day 1.
