YES. My town is currently just dying completely and I’m so so frustrated. I have this nice legacy going that’s like 5 generations at this point but they live in a ghost town. Adults or elderly or dead… It’s awful. I really just want people outside of my little group to get married on their own, have kids, get jobs, go to the park, whatever. So annoying.

I agree. I would rather have waited another year or so and gotten a more finished game. And I think a big issue still is the initial wrong decision about what type of game they would make, and now there are parameters in place that restrict them from doing a lot. We are all suffering from a poor choice made by some exec way back when. My guess is the team is doing the best they can with what they have and the time and $ they are given. But overall the came has issues they cannot overcome.

Me too. I haven’t played S4 in months. And I’ve been enjoying playing my S3 game very much! The fact that the base game, alone, was so much more and when the first EP came out it was with a BANG! Lol, whomever was behind S3 starting out needs to SERIOUSLY counsel EA on how you conduct yourselves with Simmers. Cause they are losing us bigtime.

I’m just waiting for a competitor, who’s been watching all this and salivating, and spring some new simulation life game and steal us all away. LOL I’m realllllly looking forward to it.

Word!!!! Ugh, I keep trying to create drama for my game to make up for lack of content. I’ve given up on Sims 4 for now and am back on Sims 3. It’s wayyyyy better…and has toddlers.

Who knows what they are doing, but you are another person who has said you have not played for months because of nothing new to get us interested. Sadly, I think that is the case for many players from what I have read. So if folks aren’t playing they may be allocating resources elsewhere? I think it is all about $$$$, so they pretty much look at where they have the best odds of making as much as they can. ???? Like all businesses.

That’s terrifying. I haven’t been playing Sims 4 in the past few months because there hasn’t been much new content, and I’m still waiting for fun things like vampires and pets. It bothers me that they would think there isn’t any interest because people are playing less, and therefore they’re going to release less content. Again, EA doesn’t actually understand its customers.

Yeah, I’m not disappointed on the toddler situation as much I already expected it, I know they’ll come sooner or later…
My issue is on how this news was released and how unorganized it’s been, it’s just not making sense for me why their choosing to go this route.

As for toddlers, honestly… I don’t care how expensive it is because it was there decision to release TS4 without an important life stage, I don’t see how it can cost them so much money… They never said the reason their not adding toddlers is because of the cost… They basically said it wasn’t needed at the time…

Which makes no sense to me why one of the most important life stages wouldn’t need to be in a life simulation game…

When people got upset they stated that it was easy to add another life stage to the game… Which I think means their just holding out for more profit.

I’ve been fooled before. EA is known to get greedy and hold out content for more money, and for years I was blind to it… I’m no longer blind.
