When Sims' packs get criticized, the conversation is usually about how many there are, but I think this distracts from the real issue. The thing is, the Sims 4 has been supported for twice as long as any other Sims game. Of course it will have a lot of packs. That itself isn't a problem. It can even be a good thing. The…

The weird thing is I get sent to that site a lot for surveys and I've never had an issue before.
-
Exactly what happened to me.
-
I conceded that fixing the life stage gap was too much work, specifically that they'd have to keep supporting it from now on, but then I checked out that mod everyone was talking about. With just a couple of small changes they were able to use all the same models and clothing, so I don't think the work would have to be…

Unfortunately, games lasting longer nowadays is almost never to the customer's benefit. Usually it comes down to either being a "live service" game, or simply the insane budgets AAA games have nowadays. Frankly, it's often not even to the publisher's benefit (let alone the developers). Live service games tend to crash and…
-
It certainly seemed to be winding down before the announcement as well. I feel like "many years to go" is more "our plans for a successor are taking longer than we hoped so we're throwing bones to Sims 4" more than it means "Sims 4's release schedule is going to remain strong". Sims 1 lasted about 4 years. Sims 2 and Sims…

I found this strange as well, but after reading through the thread and thinking again, I may have figured it out. However hard-coded "male" and "female" may have been when the game launched, the customization added later removed those limitations so it shouldn't be a problem, but then I realized the one exception. Whatever…
-
So the only thing about the expansion was that they weren't actually going to talk about it yet? That seems a little weird with the other hints we've gotten. I wonder if something happened behind the scenes.
-
So the molar bear, dentures, and possible dentists? That's a lot of teeth-specific focus in a short amount of time. What is the expansion actually going to be?
-
Definitely. Lately in games, I'm not disappointed because I got my hopes up, I'm disappointed because it's simply a disappointing product. It doesn't matter whether I expected anything great to be in a release if the release simply doesn't have anything that grabs me. That doesn't even mean it's bad, but if there's nothing…
-
I'm curious but not getting my hopes up. I can't even imagine what the Expansion could be. Most of the guesses I've seen sound more like quality of life updates to me than full expansion features.
-
Great point! Personally, that's one of the reasons you could say I've been impatient for (the potential of) a Sims 5. Sims 4's life stages just aren't what they could be even compared to past Sims games, but it's not something that's easily fixed without an overhaul across the board. I fully support bandaging what we've…
-
I'm surprised at how much of a mixed reaction preteens get on this forum. I get from a practical perspective that they aren't likely to be compatible with large amounts of existing content, and that also cascades a bit in meaning they either won't get more support going forward or will take time away from other things.…
-
Yeah. I'm in no real hurry, but it's still super weird. We had this big announcement that was like "Sims 5 is coming eventually! Sims 4 will still be supported for the foreseeable future!" and then radio silence. I guess maybe that announcement was to explain why there would be radio silence, but when you hear Sims 4 will…
-
Wow, yeah. I get why contests usually have all these legal limitations, but rarely does it seem so contrary to the very point of the contest. Travel can get expensive even within the same country, sure, but one of the most amazing things about internet friendships is connecting people from across the world.
-
I would say "It's about time" but I voted "I'm interested but I'm worried it will disappoint me" because I want to be clear that as much as I really want a new Sims game, I'm not optimistic. I didn't like the Sims 4's business model as it is, and the industry has come up with 100 worse things since it came out (more than…
-
When the topic of Sims 5 gets brought up, there's often a lot of assumptions that we're just being impatient, weirdly obsessed with buying everything all over again, or maybe just want to end the game before someone else gets what they want, but it's none of that. Sims 4 was built upon a cracked foundation. The Sims 3 was…

When I was a kid, the summer was always my gaming time as well. I didn't have a lot of free time during the school year, but the summer was the definition of free time. It never made any sense to me when people said they avoid summer releases because kids aren't available then since summer break is explicitly when they…
-
I think my situation is a little different, but I think I know what you mean. One of the reasons I've been hanging around the forum lately is hoping to see some news about something that might give me something to enjoy in the game again. I struggled to figure out what I wanted to do when I got Snowy Escape, but once I…
-
You got me, it's "when I get bored." The thing is, I basically always play the Sims the same way. Make one Sim that fits whatever goal I have at the time, then play them like crazy until they're top of their career and rich and I get to build a really neat house and decorate it. After I do all that, it doesn't feel like…
-
It certainly wasn't particularly special for me. Most of the things I've seen brought up in this thread are just as much of a movie and TV show thing for me than anything I actually experienced back in school. I mean, that's probably enough to mine for a pack, but I wouldn't have any interest in it. As it is, I tend to…
-
I was saying this would happen so I felt really bad when the pack was revealed and we didn't hear anything about it after all. I'm not personally invested, but it's nice to be vindicated for the sake of everyone else.
-
The cover werewolf does look a little... off, to me. In some ways though, this is probably the best I could hope for and I mean that honestly and not cynically. Something more monstrous would have been a lot of new work and not very likely. It's a bit goofy, but that's par for the course for Sims 4, and as much as I'm not…
-
For the first part, I wasn't quite sure what you meant by a "wolf" form, but I thought I might as well react to both interpretations because both had been brought up on the thread anyway (like I said, I meant to respond less to you specifically, and more just because you had a good summary of the points I wanted to react…
-
I guess I would be interested in a Burglar Kit. It's a feature I miss from the older games that I think should be baseline, so I wouldn't be lining up to pay for it, but if they found a way to put some extra value in there, like something the previous games didn't do with them, I might be convinced.
-
I feel similarly. In the grand scheme of things it would just blend in, but once I learned how wolves really worked and how the whole thing was frankly a pretty embarrassing misunderstanding, I really wish people would stop using it. Sure, werewolves aren't real and they can do whatever they want, but since people think…
-
Good question. I don't have a specific answer. To give some context, my problem with kits is that they exaggerate the problem I already have with the business model of the Sims. There's not a lot that I like enough to shell out big bucks for (or even small bucks for something even smaller). I often do find out that I like…
-
All I know is I'd love to see a complete Sims-like game for Star Wars. I totally understand the criticism of gluing a small Star Wars pack onto the Sims, but just that little taste convinced me I want more.
-
I think werewolves are a safe bet. I need to see how they're handled before I'll personally be excited. Sims has had a history of going the "wolfman" route with werewolves. No offense or judgment toward anyone who is a fan of that, but that has no appeal for me personally. Thick body hair and slightly unusual facial hair…
-
So many reasons, I'm not sure if I will remember them all. For the record, this applies to pretty much every game for me, not just the Sims. *Quality Most mods just aren't going to be very good. Even mods that look good can turn out to have glaring issues. I don't feel like sorting through that, and I've often found that…
Howdy, Stranger!
