They seem incapable to even give us a single reason WHY the shopping card is needed in game though, considering we already pass several links to buying the expansions before getting to that point. I'd like to see them try and defend this horrible choice. Their silence just shows that they know how wrong it is. They are…
-
Instead of a shopping cart they should have instead worked on packs people actually want to buy if they find the sales disappointing. The packs I did not buy tend to be the ones I would not even want for free. The ones I did get where always in a sale because full price is never worth it, always costs too much for what it…
-
They really seem bent on trying to ignore the problem and hope it will go away. I meant my words though. I am not starting up the game until it's gone, and will remove the game before the end of this year if that cart does not get removed. It should not require a mod, I refuse to in any way endorse these actions.
-
Looks like they have no plans to remove the in game shopping cart. As long as they don't I have no plans to play this game or get anything new for it. If it's not removed within the next few months, I'll just remove sims 4 all together. And no future sims games with any in game shopping cart will ever get my money either,…
-
They really need to ditch game packs and just stick to expansions and stuff packs. With game packs they just did a lot of things poorly instead of doing it properly as part of a full expansion where it would have more interaction with other aspects. If they had a dedicated supernatural pack that could have allowed…
-
That does sound promising, I feel like paralives and some others try too hard to be the Sims instead of being their own thing. Only the sims is the sims, but there's plenty of room for other life simulators, especially with how disrespectful EA is towards it's customers of late. That in game shopping cart is the last drop…
-
Looks like an Asian version of The Sims with better graphics, but it looks even more boring than any of the Sims base games. I see no difference with the other upcoming alternatives to be honest. Just the same stuff yet again.
-
My unpopular opinion is that ALL upcoming life simulators seem boring. I'd like to see more focused experiences instead, more imagination. For example if someone made a life simulator set in a different time than the present, that would already instantly make it completely different and more interesting than simulating our…
-
Sims 3 store content was even more overpriced than the Sims 4 stuff packs and kits though. I honestly dread to think how they will make it worse with the next game. It's just not a good business model they have going on if they want to stay competitive in the market. They really need to offer a lot more content for the…
-
I guess people moving on to the competition that may be released before Sims 5 is acceptable collateral damage to them as well then. If the competition offers a better deal it would be hard to get those customers back. The more stunts like this EA pulls, the less attached customers will be to the brand, the more they will…
-
I guess the pool tables, elevators, active aquariums, sims with truly different personalities, cars and possibility of sims to not have a mobile phone will come after they fix all the broken stuff from previously released packs and remove the in game shopping cart.
-
I think it could be interesting if clumsy sims can break things other sims never break, able to fail in ways no other sim can. Could be capable of some spectacular and hilarious failures.
-
Well, if they keep that cart button and plan to do that with the next game too, they probably could not give the upcoming competitors a greater gift. Will just inspire more competitors to be made too, they ought to step up their game if they don't want the Sims to be buried by the competition in the next five years. The…
-
No word yet about them maybe going to do something about it in the next update, any official statement to admit their mistake or anything like that? I'm curious to see if they will try to fix this or plan to double down which might be the death of the franchise.
-
That's a problem too, decline in quality. You used to get a lot more out of a Sims expansion. It's clear to see in expansions that use a theme that has been used in a previous game. For sims 2-3 it is about even but some choices have been hit and miss. (I don't think even 5% of Sims players cared for the Katy Perry pack.)…
-
Well I'm not touching the game until they remove that shopping cart button for one. And after that they seriously need to release more fantasy themed packs instead of boring every day real life stuff yet again. At least for me to buy something. I want to see a full expansion with a fantasy theme for once in this game to…
-
I'm giving it a few months. I'm already not touching sims 4 until that button is gone and if it's not gone in a few months I'm uninstalling and very certain I would not buy any future Sims games since I'd know it could only get worse from here.
-
The more I think about it, the worse it honestly just gets. I mean, they choose to put time and resources into putting this shopping cart in the game while you already pass the chance to buy stuff TWICE before getting to that point, instead of putting that effort into fixing the many broken features of various packs. It is…
-
I have zero faith in Sims 5, I am quite convinced they are going to mess it up and just make the competitors look more attractive instead of making it harder to get dethroned. The shopping cart button is practically a symbol for how out of touch they have become with their audience.
-
Seems like they are throwing this sale up to test the waters, see how many actually will not buy new content now that button is there when the chips are down or if they only said they wouldn't. Thing is, if you get the content and play the game, that button is still there, flashing and all. So that content would be as…
-
In game shopping carts.
-
I don't like being spammed but do feel added concern for those who have sensory problems with it. That does also includes people feeling emotionally uncomfortable with a shopping cart there. I do think vulnerable people need protecting, and many vulnerable people use this game as an outlet. I'd like to see that promoted…
-
I'm not playing Sims 4 until that button is gone, will uninstall the game later this year if it becomes clear there's no intention of removing it and it. While my expectations for Sims 5/Rene are already not optimistic, I feel like this could just be the final nail in the coffin for me. Especially with serious competition…
-
That's a start, now remove that button all together. Seriously, in the main menu we already can directly link to the store to buy all this stuff. Don't be so needy, just let us play the game in peace.
-
If they want me to buy more content, they'd need to make better content. Anything I currently don't have I wouldn't even get for free because it's nothing that interests me. Way too much boring every day stuff.
-
I'm not playing the game until they remove that garbage, I give it till the end of the year before I uninstall the game if it's not gone by then. EA just don't get it, they never will. They refuse to understand it.
-
Traits affecting sims way more than they do so that each sim actually feels different.
-
I feel like pretty much all the stuff I want could be added in 2 expansion packs: one castle/fantasy themed, and another focused on more typically masculine activities. The fantasy castle pack would add spiral staircases and all the other architecture that should have been in the castle kit, also a drawbridge and castle…
-
All of it, it should have been a stuff pack. Yet again they want to cram the actual good ideas into a too small format. Game would already have been a lot better if all game packs where expansions and all expansions where game packs considering they always go for the most boring themes in expansions.
Howdy, Stranger!
