POTTY TRAINING plum! Man I miss Sims 2 in that regard. I used to cheat by giving them the super-bottle and sliding the bladder need up and down until the bar was finished.
Haha I did a similar thing in TS2. I'd sit them on the potty and drag the bladder need bar down over and over with the boolprop cheat until they were trained.

The independent trait makes training toddlers a lot easier too because they tend to pee on their own.

Family players want everything catered to them. If anything ‘not family’ is introduced they kick up a fuss and insult it, eg saying supernatural is dumb even though it’s been part of the sim franchise for a long time. Not everything is about your game style, I say this as mainly a family player.
I don't care about University I would like something more exciting. I play families most of the time and I h the Magic EP didn't buy it because it looked stupid and waste of money.
I too like the way toddlers learn in Sims 4 a lot more than in previous Sims games. I think they really hit the training better this go around than they have ever done before. You just have to get used to how it is done now - as it is much like real life. I really like it.

In REALITY, I simply exist.....
I really don't care about new stairs or if we get bunk bed. While I won't complain if we get it, it wouldn't bother me in the least if we didn't as I am more concerned about game play. Sometimes I feel people care more about stuff then the actual game play itself.
Mage should not be an occult life state, that should be reserved for anything with different customisation options.
The clothing is terrible. Not a single mage robe or hat. They added better stuff for that in an old halloween update.
No beards either.
Or staffs, just those dumb little wands. I just hate the full focus on harry potter stuff. I'd much prefer the style of lord of the rings.
@rhalius im afraid youre in the minority that the clothing is terrible in ROM , ive even seen naysayers or non occult players compliment the clothing. but its definitely okay not to like it. I love the stuff from ROM . And Im not super knowledgable about Harry Potter, but I love the direction they took

I am a supernatural family player so just because I am a family player doesn't guarantee that is the only play style I want. So unpopular opinion is yes I want the Sims games catered towards my play styles I have been playing for being a paying customer for 17 years because if not then what is preventing Simmers from taking their money elsewhere towards Paralives like how Maxis lost its customers with SimCity? Silly for Maxis not to want to sell to Simmers appealing to their different demands than just yours or mine isn't it? I think Sims community tends to forget how diverse the Sims community is but instead results to insulting each other, not saying your post is because I agree multiple play styles and representation needs to be included. I am also a pyro deviant and builder too. I can do CAS Sims too, but what made me interested in the Sims was to grow up from Barbies and I feel like Sims 4 is the most childish of all four games so far representing perfect Barbie world is a warped perfect world. There is a 🐸🐸🐸🐸 feel to it that runs me the wrong way with this iteration with the whole perfect blonde single lifestyle.
I miss the series about being about love and selflessness instead but yes how volatile society is now isn't helping either. I had a friend tell someone do you want to be right or do you want to be loved because you can't have both. I don't think Simmers having to prove the Sims 4 being right is helping the game because it is a huge distraction of telling the Gurus what we love about the Sims instead. It is as if the passion died with the Sims 4, so one of the biggest compliments I got from SimGuruLyndsay on forums was calling me passionate because while some view it as complaining she viewed as passion and thankfully I and other Simmers were rewarded sharing our toddler ideas with her. Now to get that passion in other aspects of the game won't be easy, but I know I will not be able to do it along. It requires the community to be united to produce positive growth for the game like how toddlers improved sales. I hope to see it for builders and other play styles too.

You can want what you want but you aren’t the only paying customer you know, we all pay for the game so all different play styles should be catered for. I hope sims 4 gets better too and maybe parallves will be good but I wouldn’t put all my hope into that as obviously we have no idea how it’ll be until it comes out.

I know that and if you read above I mentioned that we both aren't the only paying customers, there is an entire Sims community that people forget the bigger picture about. So some things like the hijab and the gender update did upset some, but the way I look at it is representation in the Sims goes beyond just my lifestyle, it includes others as well. It is worldwide with millions of Simmers with only a tiny fraction actually talking choose to talk about it with other Simmers just like not all the Sims team chooses to be Gurus. We both choose to comment on these boards. There is beauty in that free will that sets us apart from our Sims. Believe me I graduated with honors in accounting focus with my Bachelor's, I know how money works. Thing is I noticed I have been told off by Simmers that are not paying customers that brag about winning all their packs in giveaways or obtain their Sims content by illegal means then brag about it on their fan sites. It is then that I get upset about me being a customer doesn't matter and that I should just leave the Sims community and their games. It is a total pride issue that some customers matter more than others like they are trying to control people like their Sims when in reality Gurus or shareholders couldn't care less about the feedback of their packs, so long as packs sell. Even Grant mentioned about this reality before in a Tweet that people will buy packs regardless of the feedback on them simply because it is the Sims.
But yes I do agree gameplay beyond just family play needs working on. The emotion system that was bragged about is an utter mess and similar issues that SimCity had like small worlds continue to be an issue. I was talking about how ridiculous the size of objects were with a friend and it reminded me of why I needed braces as a kid was big teeth small mouth. So Sims 4 is big objects in tiny lots. It just will never fit especially as more and more packs continue to be released. Makes me wonder if that is why there are more CAS items than gameplay or build/buy items because even Gurus realize the base game and pack neighborhoods will never be big enough to support those things in the game.. No wonder babies have to be confined to cribs, there is no room for them on lots for routing. Same with cars too. Even pets are squished, so forget the doghouse, Sims lots are confining enough it is laughable at this point and time. So unpopular opinion is Sims 4 base game will repeat Sims 3 history in that the issues in the base game will never get addressed and will get an excess of packs that will continue to expose those issues and still lag computers even with everything scaled back gameplay and build/buy more wise.
I hope Paralives is successful because honestly competition I think will be the only thing to save the franchise if the timing is right and it comes out during Sims 4 development and not after like SimCity because if that happens Sims is toast during the in between iteration time. So I can kind of see why Simmers need Sims 4 to keep going because of that and it being the last active Maxis PC/Mac game with SimCity switching to mobile only. I hope Maxis doesn't resort to mobile only but I do have a feeling Sims 4 is the guinea pig of how far microtractions can go to make that switch to mobile only. I had a developer tell me mobile games would replace PC games and being that there are fewer paying customers with the confessions and ever Maxis might go that route. If they do, then well then they'll lose me as a customer as well as I don't know how many others. I am really hoping the cloud based gaming takes off and Paralives utilizes it so that the issue of PC not being strong enough is lessened and people can game anywhere on any device. I know I have been enjoying G Force Now beta. I guess I am looking at the advancements in technology now from procedural generated worlds, facial recognition software, and cloud based gaming that in just a few years Sims will be light years behind on with how fast tech in gaming works now. So yes I do worry about the Sims future and yes only time will tell and how the simulation genre will use these new things. The Universim is also an interesting SimCity competitor how it changes throughout the ages in a literal 3D world. I guess it is the age of competition for simulation games now and I couldn't be more delighted about it. Anyway sorry for my lengthy post, but thank you for choosing to reply to my post. I like to write them long to see who wants to read them or not to separate them from getting Twitter replies. . I enjoy talking to people now and hasn't always been the case. Forums is good practice with conversing in society with different personalities. Nice meeting you and talking with you. I hope you enjoy your stay on forums.

RoM introduced similar amounts of game-play time as the other game packs and becoming a spell caster is on the same level of difficulty as becoming a vampire >_>

Yeah I like that. I like the skill tree with both although the spell caster I like a bit more. Makes playing with them a bit more interesting yet still provides freedom on how to earn the skills and progress their stories.

Seasons is one of the expansion packs I'm the least interested in. Since I have a rotational play style, the holidays don't appeal to me and the heat/cold related deaths would really screw up my game.

spooky stuff is that one easily forgettable pack which everyone would suddenly remember once autumn season has arrived.
I have to agree. I really think they should have saved Spooky Stuff for Seasons.
