i hope you take a step back and look at your responses to mine. you may not see yours as disconcerting and flippant, but they were. from saying i should just delete Katrina Caliente to telling me what *i* should talk about. i think we’re on the same side but your defensiveness derails that
well the Caliente family is just one example of what i meant. there are many simmers who love the lore of the game, and the Sims 4 team has thrown that out the window. i don’t think it’s a good thing to discredit those criticisms just because someone doesn’t like Sims lore
i agree with you on lots of things, semantics is the issue. if this response from you is sarcasm, so be it. but if we understand each other in a good way, then i’m glad :-)
i’m trying to talk through it but you want to throw words out such as saying i’m, “confrontational.” maybe in the future if you want to have a regular discussion try not to use such division bc i think we’re on the same page xx
lmao no i see maybe you’re a little *sensitive* but i see your point! my point was for people who care about lore and being consistent is Sims 4 isn’t about that, whatsoever. maybe be less sensitive in future posts bc we’re on the same wavelength :-)
i agree but if many people point out sims lore (such as the youtube channel simslore) then maybe they could’ve added some in the base game. for people like you, it doesn’t matter. but to do the bare minimum of following family trees, it shouldn’t be an issue
see the issue is you saying “*I* might have been bothered” the thing is some other people may have seen through discrepancies. saying if we don’t like Katrina we should just delete her completely disregards players who want a story to play within the Sims. the majority of players noticed these discrepancies and it seemed…
i have to say i do find them saying it’s a soft reboot/alternate universe is a little lazy on them in terms of lore. even if people didn’t enjoy lore, some accuracies would be appreciated for those who do: such as Dina and Nina’s mother be Ni.G.hat (they censored her original name??) instead of Katrina. if they are trying…
did they ever answer why dina and nina’s mother in TS4 was literally a made-up character that wasn’t in family trees before?? or that they insinuate in the bio for TS4 don and katrina are romantically involved but they’re not lol...this isn’t meant to be sassy i just feel the interview is out there and want to read it lmao
i’m glad you pointed it out that fewer traits is important to you - usually people want more, but there *are* people who want less and it’s good we acknowledge those players too
i took identity as a Sim’s identity - we went from personality points in TS2 to 5 traits in TS3 along with favorite food, music, and color. then in TS4 we went down to 3 traits with nothing additional so it seems like the identity of a Sim in TS4 is very lack-luster compared to before
i do truly wonder what the coding is for generating townie’s outfits...i think it’d be best if they had like 25 outfits for townies to choose from for each category because i don’t think outfit copiers are as heinous as these submissions lmao
i see your point, i do think personality would play into a concept of identity though. personality is lacking not only in few traits (and only choosing 3) but even in Sims 2 if two sims didn’t like each other, they wouldn’t have random interactions of laughing, joking, playing games, etc. i mean my sim currently has a…
the fact that i can’t have my sim be a villain is the depth i need lmao. i have her go up to people and insult their house, their yard, and mock their outfit but with autonomy on they just go into joking and laughing with each other...makes no sense
this is so sad...they couldn’t even send out a tweet? it seems a little late right now so if they do it’s more of an after-thought. but i am happy to have another reiteration of the game i love and my birthday wish for the franchise is it gets better :-)
not to mention they only moved publicly to make changes after two of their gamechangers so *coincidentally* released videos back-to-back of the skin tone issue
i take the skin tones as a separate issue. this is something they’ve had years to fix so it’s way past due - it seems like they just realized they needed to fix it. should’ve been done long ago. if the pack wasn’t SW and was farming instead, the criticism that skin tones shouldn’t come later would still be valid
