Comments on: The Sims 4: New “Pancake Bob” Render https://simsvip.com/2014/08/05/the-sims-4-new-pancake-bob-render/ Sims 4 News and Game Guides Fri, 25 Sep 2026 00:33:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.8 By: Mattyboi https://simsvip.com/2014/08/05/the-sims-4-new-pancake-bob-render/#comment-516660 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 08:04:28 +0000 http://simsvip.com/?p=39881#comment-516660 Traveling to the future isn’t realistic, nor is having magic or vampires or witches. THAT’S the weird they’re giving us with the Sims 4 and more. Not spontaneous combustion, raining milk, and sims walking backwards. The Sims Games have a good sense of balance when it comes to realism and weirdness.

Also how is what I said “super realistic”? There’s reality and fabrication. There’s no inbetween or more, but EA has done exactly that. Reality is fighting, bills, stress, death and disease. Fabrication is the perfect family, able to make money incredibly fast and easy, pure happiness, and building love in minutes. You’re going to tell me that the Sims is too weird when Sims have perfect families? Or it’s getting to real with bills and emotional deaths?

The Sims 4 is in no way different in realism and weird wise from what we’ve experienced with TS1/TS2/TS3. If you make the Sims any more real, then you’re making life in a video game.

I want more realism like TS/TS2/TS3 COMBINED.

There are many, many topics about wanting real businesses/restaurants/more infant, toddler, child, teen and elder content/more ethnic hair/more clothes for males/longer hair for both females and males/more interactions for between family members like toddlers interacting with other toddlers/etc.

And woohoo locations or death types are considered realistic to me. It’s a part of real life minus actual ghosts roaming around.

Sure “some” like that weirdness and quirkiness but some also have been vocal about liking the way TS3 toned down the exaggerated facial expressions and body language. And just because someone wants a future TS game to be more like TS2 does NOT automatically equal just weirder or quirkier. I’ve read it to mean mostly about gameplay as in fleshed out features, lively and fluent sims, etc.

Sims are suppose to be wacky and fun, NOT super realistic. If I wanted to experience that I’d go outside into the REAL world. I play the Sims because I can’t do a lot of the stuff Sims do: travel to the Future, ride in a Rocket, become a Celebrity in a few days, etc. Of course they have to be realistic, but the Sims has to be fun to play. They’ve found balance IMO. Also, just because some people want something doesn’t mean it’s the best/right choice to make.

Also, emotional deaths are realistic. People die from emotions everyday in real life. EA toned down how far emotions go in the Sims 4. I personally don’t want to watch my sim commit suicide because of depression or humiliation. Nor watch them laugh until they start choking on air (which can happen).

A lot of people actually asked for Sims to be more fun and weirder. Sims 2 was the most realistic as far as I remember (I don’t remember S1 that much I played it when I was younger). I actually loved the Sims 3 because of how different it was and how many features it had that S2 and S1 didn’t. In reality, real life is pretty bad. Wars, turmoil, disease, bills up to necks, lawsuits, A LOT of ways to die, health condition, and the real stress of family life. I don’t want to stress when playing the Sims. This is just my take on the situation and your comment.

Same goes with complaints. Biggest complaint during 5 years of Sims 3: “It should be more like Sims 2!” Now they are doing that and it’s still considered a bad thing.
Have you opinion, but stop lying to yourself or to pretend you would know what things have been requested the most over the past years, because this is exactly what dominated requests for Sims 3: More like Sims 2, weirder, quirkier.

Who asked for weirder stories? I keep reading how many want more REALISTIC stories.

Seriously, stop lying to yourself EA who claims to read the forums and care. Just say the truth is…we don’t give a hoot about your play style and only care what we want to make this game.

But no need because actions speak louder than words.
