Batuu is just canonically inaccurate!

Clearly someone didn’t do their research because what I’ve heard of the world coming in JTB is nothing like the actual Batuu!
Firstly, the planet is a jungle world, humid and temperate and scarred with winding river valleys. Apparently though, there’s no rain in the Sims 4 version, so what’s up with that! Was it too expensive, too hard to implement?
“Batuu's surface was covered in jungles, oceans”
Climate: Temperate
Primary terrain:
This is a ridiculous excuse for the team’s laziness. Does this look at all comparable to the desert climate of California, Romeo?
To not include rain or snow in a new world is basically admitting it’s not compatible with seasons. Batuu should have had the same weather as Selvadorada, misty morning, torrential rain and thunderstorms.
Speaking of three suns, you can’t even see two of the suns from black spire outpost. Ubaat I is the only sun visible from the outpost throughout the entire year (I guess as a practical way to brush off the fact that the irl Disney park only has one sun in the sky, but it’s still canon none the less!)
“Ubaat I was one of three stars located in the Batuu system of the Outer Rim Territories, orbited by the planet Batuu. Out of the planet's three suns, it was the only one visible from the surface of Black Spire Outpost throughout the whole year.
As well as the suns, the moons of Batuu are also not both visible at the same time. Destra, the smaller of the moons, is tidally locked to the planet and can’t even be seen from black spire outpost.
“It was not visible from Black Spire Outpost, the planet's largest settlement.“
Sorry to be so negative, I know it’s probably insignificant to most sims players, but to someone who actual gives a plum about the lore of Star Wars, this kind of ignorance and lack of research really upsets me and has made me question what’s really in this pack for a Star Wars nerd like me? Because it’s certainly not realistic aliens, a lively world bustling with markets and interesting characters, challenging missions or any kind of story at all.
It’s one thing to exclude the players from building in the world, but to not even have the accurate weather or astronomical details is a bit of a deal breaker.
This pack really should have been a stand-alone spin-off game with the appropriate budget and guidance from the Lucasfilm story group.

It’s pretty basic science. Can the planet support liquid water? Yes? Then it has a hydrological cycle.
my sims are there because reasons Seasons.

also sims team: /disregards all the lore and ignores actual star wars fans bc it takes another 10 minutes to read what the planet is like
A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear
Time enjoyed is never time wasted

Yes, and it seems to do that exactly. I thought people knew that?
Yes, that was what I thought, too. Perhaps the lore is different in the Galaxy’s Edge versión of Batuu? I’ll have to look this up. (I love going to Disney theme parks, but my family and I have not visited Galaxy’s Edge yet.)

I'm dying to go to Galaxy's Edge! Once the pandemic issue is settled and vaccinated and under control, I totally plan to take a trip there!
(She/her)
Cool! See you there! 😆
We should go together! Disneyland!!
Sounds like a party!
Whoo!! 🎉
Gentlemen, from this day forward... you will all refer to me by the name... Betty... myahhahah!
Depends on who you say don't want it. While it may not be a Star Wars game, like the ones I play, it still is Star Wars in essence and I have always loved Star Wars so I will enjoy it. I didn't care for the knitting as I think that is boring but okay some like it just like some will like this, just like I will.
