You specifically said "So I am neither satisfied nor dissatisfied". So how is me saying you aren't satisfied incorrect? You literally just said it. I never said you were dissatisfied.
-
I said I have barely seen anyone who seems satisfied by the trailer. How is that speaking for anyone? In fact, I'll be even more specific. I have seen no-one who seems to be satisfied by the trailer, and 86 pages of disappointed, angry and apathetic users. You just said yourself that you aren't satisfied either, so I've…

Doesn't seem particularly divided to me. I've barely seen anyone who is satisfied with the quarterly trailer.

I don't mind them turning to game packs rather than expansion packs. In fact, I always thought that game packs were the perfect way to include things like new supernatural types, which often felt disconnected from their associated expansions. But in order for this to work we need to actually get game packs on a more…
-
There is a possibility. If it's being released at, say, the start of the next quarter it would make no sense to only announce it in a seasonal preview the week before. That said, I am really not getting my hopes up after this disappointment.
-
It's particularly annoying when you are after a specific piece of content. personally, I have always loved high-rise buildings, city living and werewolf sims, playing with a combination of those the most in TS3. I also really liked the ethnic clothing and decor that came with World Adventures. But I'm fully aware that…

The Sims 4 is a direct sequel by the same company with the same gameplay. I can't approach the Sims 4 as if the Sims 3 doesn't exist because the Sims 3 does exist. It's sitting there on my computer right now, with the same gameplay and tonnes more content. Anything the sims 4 releases needs to justify why I should buy it…
-
I simply can't see how a single expansion could be worth over a years wait. If it had toddlers and seasons? Maybe, but then we still would have no occult type sims since Get to Work. And the toddlers would likely be given for free via patch anyway. Unless they release "Sims 4: Supernatural Seasons with Toddlers" I get the…
-
There is a lot of middle ground between "Release four buggy occult types in a single expansion, two expansions a year" and "No expansion for over a year". Yes they shouldn't rush, but this drought of content is worrying and frustrating. It's also not really justifiable, given the development time you would reasonably…
-
Toddlers alone don't justify 10+ months of no expansion. They really aren't that time-consuming to add. Not when you look at the amount of content being produced in Sims 3 and 4 expansions in a similar timeframe. I mean, TS3 Supernatural, for all it's bugs, essentially added four new occult types, back when expansions came…
-
Graphics, titles, stories and characters are easy to copyright, but game mechanics are not. This is why you see so many games out there with very similar gameplay. It would certainly be possible to create a game with similar gameplay to the sims franchise, so long as all of the art and animation assets were original, and…
-
True, though in Sim Cities case it worked out fine since competitor series came along to bring back what the newer games lacked. 'Cities Skylines' was a great city building simulator which brought back what I loved about the older Sim City games. Honestly i'm surprised nothing similar has happened with the sims. The…

They can. EA are like any business, their primary concern is money. If people don't buy then their vision will change very quickly.
-
I wonder if the rumors that they are killing TS4 early to create a fifth installment are actually true.
-
Yikes. Hopefully the next quarter will have some pretty impressive stuff to make up for this.
-
These stuff pack teasers are rather dull. I want a teaser for upcoming Game Packs/ Expansion packs, that will actually give us something to speculate and get excited about.
-
This somehow manages to be even more underwhelming than the Kids stuff pack.
-
I disagree completely. Sims 4 has generally been quality over quantity so far, and I like that for the most part. You want to talk about "half-baked"? Try werewolf sims that you can't change the appearance of due to bugs that are never fixed, or "restaurants" tied to a clunky premium store item, ala Sims 3. The restaurants…
-
I'm torn. I like the recent trend of only announcing games within 6 months of release (Like Civ 6 and Fallout 4). Waiting 2 years+ for a game after it's been announced is frustrating, kills the hype, and often the game changes a lot, leading to complaints. That said, Sims 4 hasn't had a new expansion in so long now. It's…
-
Cars are pointless because they would only increase the time taken to travel anywhere interesting. Why would I want to waste an extra twenty seconds watching my sim get in a car and drive off every time I want to take them out somewhere when the loading screen could begin instantly like it currently does? The time taken to…
-
I think it will be a city living expansion, focusing on a new urban world, nightlife and re-introducing the vampire occult type. It's a staple of the sims series, and one of the few ideas mentioned on the leaked surveys that hasn't really come about yet. As for what I want, I'd like to see a supernatural themed expansion,…
-
Hmm I was under the impression that they was more solid confirmation, but it does seem to be nothing more than rumors at the moment. It would explain why things have quite slow content-wise since the last expansion, though. Even if it is different teams I could understand them not wanting to add a large amount of new…
-
I think the reason the next expansion is taking so long is the huge kerfuffle I keep hearing about with the console ports of the Sims 4. They keep getting delayed, which implies there are a lot of issues with them, hence the lack of resources being spent on expansions. I'd expect the release of expansion packs to speed up…
-
We haven't had a new life state in the Sims 4 since Get to Work, so we're long overdue one. I'd probably rather have them released one a time like in TS2, but as long as they are all given the same level of quality as aliens were I wouldn't mind an entire supernatural expansion. Just release a patch beforehand which lets…
-
I think putting them all in one pack reduced the quality of the life states as well. Werewolves in particular were so buggy. If you edited them using a mirror their werewolf form would reset to a default, and this bug was never fixed. Not to mention the hassle of getting their werewolf face to resemble their human face in…
-
There's so much I still want to be added to the game that I'm sure I'll be disappointed no matter what the new expansion is. I'd actually rather it's not pets or seasons, mainly because there are a lot of things that I consider to be far more important that the game is still missing. If we get pets before toddlers that…
-
I think it depends how much the original content has been altered. I often use sims from the gallery as a base for my own sims, but the end result looks so different that I don't really see the need to credit the original. Similarly, if I download a sim from the gallery and they have a child with one of my sims I don't…
-
Sims 4's biggest problem was, and still is, the lack of content. Scrapping it now and going to 5 wouldn't help.
-
But how would it work for sims who are born, rather than created? Randomized? Chosen when they become Teens? Changeable at any time? All of those options seem flawed in one way or another.
-
There are too many I want! But my tier list goes something like: 1. City Living/ Nightlife (I played Bridgeport almost exclusively in the Sims 3) 2. Supernatural (I really just want the werewolf life state back, always loved it) 3. Seasons (Always adds so much gameplay) 4. Generations (Toddlers, finally?)
Howdy, Stranger!
