Just letting you all know that I'm going to be spending more time at another Sims site. I'm not caring for the atmosphere on this one nowadays. The other one is more welcoming.

  • You're talking about Denmark. Denmark is only one country. Their main demographic might be teen girls, but it's not the case in other countries. I know here in the States, the demographic is more varied; and you should be able to tell by reading the comments in these forums that a lot of us are far older than teens...in…
  • Not when they post a thread that pretends to spread peace but is only a thinly veiled attack on players who want a certain feature back in the game. You have to earn respect to get respect, and starting a topic like this one isn't the way to go about it.
  • So, in other words, let's attack the people who want toddlers in the game, while trying to insist that you're not attacking anyone, and letting them know that if they don't like the game, then they should stop playing the game and move along, because, as everyone knows toddlers are useless and can't do anything. Which is…
  • It's possible that they would keep the PC version going, but I still remain skeptical. I just have this feeling that as long as the Head Honchos don't understand their demographic, that is, the kind of people who actually buy and play this game, and keep on thinking that they're young players who aren't serious gamers (not…
  • Yes, of course, The Sims 4 has a great future ahead of it. As long as you're willing to throw money at it. It's missing some stuff from the Sims 3 all right, but it's not for the time being. It's more like "It's never coming back" stuff. Or if we want it, we have to buy it, even if it originally came with the Sims 3 base…
  • It's probably meant to counteract this thread: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/831468/am-i-the-only-one-whos-bored/p1 I can honestly say I don't get bored of The Sims 4....because I can't play it on my computer. So much for being able to play it on your grandma's computer. Apparently, The Sims 4 doesn't like my…

  • And bear in mind that Maxis was originally a small company that was bought out by EA. If EA hadn't bought Maxis and taken a chance on Will Wright's "dollhouse game", we wouldn't be having this discussion today.
  • @TanyaRubirose, glad you found my post amusing. And, sorry to say this, but as much as you're trying, you're not going to be the hero who saves this franchise. In the long run, it's The Mythical Corporation's choice, and as I've said time and time again, the Head Honchos apparently have no idea who their customer base…
  • Someone has gotten their wish. They said we should post on an existing post, rather than create yet another complaining post. This post is from back in May of last year, and yet after two expansion packs and two game packs and numerous stuff packs...very little has changed. This post remains just as valid now as it was…
  • At this point, we don't know that there will be a Sims 5, but if there is one, we probably won't like it...and it'll probably only be available on mobile or tablet.
  • At this point, I think @TanyaRubirose is just arguing for the sake of arguing...er...sorry, I meant debating for the sake of debating. I don't really care about the use of the word "boycott" simply because if I state I'm not buying any more expansion packs because they don't interest me and I don't like the direction in…
  • Actually, it's a 48 hour trial, but the clock keeps running, even if you have to log off to take care of your body's needs, or have to run an errand that will take some time. And, if the purpose of this announcement is to tell us that the OP will put up his *informed* opinion as to whether or not the game needs…
  • And I'm not the only one pointing that out. Others, besides myself and Tanyarubirose have pointed it out. And you're in the same thread making excuses why the development team didn't just take the elements it allegedly put in the game and develop them further within the first six months of the game's release, when it would…
  • So, basically, in your opinion, all those who dislike this game should stop talking about it, and just move on? In other words "Shut up and go away, I'm sick of hearing it." Nice.
  • Yes, you are. That's exactly what you're saying. You and Tanyarubirose. The implication here is that if we don't keep on throwing our money at Maxis and supporting TS4 by buying the DLC, we're just being selfish and killing the game for those who like it. And by the way, this isn't an "If I can't have it, nobody can!"…
  • No, I'm not saying "deal with it", even though you think that's what I'm saying. What I AM saying is that realistically, a boycott won't work, since players keep buying the base game; either those players who couldn't afford it at the time of release, or waited until there was a sale, or new players who run across it…
  • One of the producers proudly announced that they didn't even need to consult a psychologist when they made the Sims 4; they relied heavily on their so-called emotions (which we were told the previous iterations never had) and the adolescent humor. But one of the reasons I believe that the Sims 2 was so successful is…
  • In reality, for every person who doesn't buy the base game there are at least 3 others who will. And I suspect all that will happen when the complaints increase and the sales decline, is that Maxis will drop the pc version of the Sims 4 like a hot potato and come up with a mobile/tablet version of The Sims similar to The…
  • And adding toddlers is what's best for their game, if fan reaction is anything to go by. But don't worry, since people are still buying the game, despite the fact that there are no toddlers, I hardly think EA is worried about losing money. Being silent about their vision is also not doing what's best for the game. For the…
  • Be aware that in order to take advantage of the 48 hours, you literally have to be online for the whole 48 hours and playing the game. Time doesn't stop when you log off to go eat dinner or take care of personal business. That clock keeps on ticking, and too bad if what you have to do takes more than an hour. You simply…
  • As I keep saying: It's a lot easier and cheaper for them not to bother to add toddlers at all. They don't need them to keep this game selling. There are plenty of fans who are willing to keep on buying expansion packs, stuff packs, and game packs even without the toddlers, so why bother to spend the money? And, as for you…
  • I am one of those players who happens to be of the opinion that toddlers will never be added back into this game, simply because it's a lot easier for EA not to add them in, plus the lack of toddlers doesn't seem to have had a significant impact on the sales of this game, despite what some players believe. And, if the…
  • Okay, so what I am reading from some people over here, not to mention any names, is this: "If you don't like this game, that's too bad. We've heard the complaints, now get over it and stop posting about it, because we're tired of reading it. Instead, go necro an old thread and post your response there. Who cares if that…
  • I analyzed your thread and your motives for presenting this topic in the first place. What's to contribute to? I've seen others come in and state that they disagree with you, and you've been pretty dismissive with them, as well. As far as I can tell, the only people whom you deem "fair" are those who generally agree with…
  • And you have no proof that they can do it at all; only what you've said about there being files in the game that indicate a life stage between baby and child. And you still haven't answered the question: "If those files are there, why weren't they developed fully within the first six months of the game, before the first…
  • I'm not going to censor myself just because people don't like the way I say things.
  • I'm not about to spend money on an expansion pack that comes with toddlers. I suspect I'm not the only one. People need to get over the idea that EA *has* to put in toddlers because they're in such demand and they'll lose money if they don't, and besides they owe it to the fans. Actually they don't owe the fans anything.…
