You’re right. The sands are definitely running through the hourglass, and the longer they take to release new content, the more people are going to get fed up and shuffle off to find something else. There will always be stalwarts, but …

I’m so disappointed in the Sims, I don’t even play the game or watch lets plays on YouTube anymore. I’m bored. There’s nothing to look forward. Every time I come to simsvip I hope there’s some type of update but nothing.

I think the biggest issue is that there’s a time frame for content. They’re not going to continue making dlc for Sims 4 longer than usual just because we only got 5 expansions. If they don’t put things out regularly we just won’t get any more. There’s a ticking clock which spells the end of this game and the likely start of the next and I want this one to get as much love it can. When they delay things like this, that time frame is getting smaller with nothing coming out.

The irony of the social bunny would be that the sim in this hellish landscape would see the Social Bunny and expect companionship and comfort and only receive psychological torture, dashing all hope for respite.

Oh my gosh! YES! New costumes would have been awesome. I mean, I don’t use them for anything other than costumes parities. However, so many Sims show up in the same costume that it really would have been nice to just have some more so that maybe it would be a little less repetitive.

Lol I guess I’m just backwards. I would’ve liked it if they gave us a new star wars costume though that would’ve been great.

I know why people are upset. I’m just saying the anger shouldn’t be directed at everything so carelessly. If this was a trailer about Star Wars Battlefront and why you should buy it, I’d be pretty annoyed too. Like, why the heck is The Sims Team doing Battlefront Team’s job? But it’s not and they’re not.

Also, I think people would have been angrier if the trailer was longer.
“So you made a two-minute Star Wars Trailer, but couldn’t give us a minute long update trailer for The Sims 4?!” XD
Now that would piss me off. ROFL!

“I’m just trying to calm a small but growing sense of unease with the series so far.”
Unfortunately, David, while your efforts are valiant and your heart may be in the right place, this is a job only EA/Maxis can do, and they have been falling down on this job lately. The only way they can calm the growing unease is by giving us content in a timely fashion and engaging the community as openly and honestly as possible. Of course, we can quibble about what that actually means, about what is and is not possible and what constitutes “timely”, but I think we can all agree that things have not been quite right in Sims land as of late.
And incidentally, your version of Sims Hell sounds truly terrifying! LOL Just add the creepy Social Bunny phasing in and out hauntingly and that’s the stuff of nightmares right there.

I also agree with you about the Secura outfit being a nice chance of pace with it being different to a lot of the other items. I think it’s times like this that I do miss the store because by this time in the Sims 3, we had a lot of great choices for gothic and unusual Sims. It’s entirely true that *some* of the outfits in the store were a bit much and/or downright ugly, and I wouldn’t have put them on a Sim on a bet, but at least it was different if you wanted to experiment. This time, they seem to be playing a little safer with the fashions, at least so far.

I didn’t say it justifies anything. No one said it was right. I’m saying that this is where the hostility is coming from. We’re just impatient that’s all. When they said new content every month we all jumped to the conclusion that that would mean a new pack every month. That’s our fault yes. Does it make it justifiable to you? To anyone else? Probably not. But again just explaining where this anger is coming from.

My other problem was that this video was short af. Wow was it brief.
