I know right. Quite frankly I thought the laughing was unnecessary. They know we want it, give us something already!

First of all, how dare you make assumptions about me and my life? Again, this is so incredibly disrespectful and rude on top of that! My actual experience with the Sims aside, who gives you the right to judge younger players or players who got into the series later than you did? How dare you imply that their experiences, opinions, views and their general fanhood, for the lack of a better word, is worth less than yours? Can’t you express your arguments without trying to devaluate others and being condescending, going as far as claiming that I do not love this series as much as you do because I don’t agree with your opinion? Excuse my language, but how bloody dare you?
I will have you know that I’ve been playing these games since 2002. When I finally got Sims 2 in 2004 after playing the original at my friend’s as often as I could, I was obsessed with it. It turned into my favourite game and still remains my favourite game to this day. This franchise helped me deal with depression and had a part in saving my life when nothing else on this world was able to bring me joy throughout the darkest years of my life. Do not, for a second, doubt my devotion and love for The Sims ever again!

But to go back on topic, you completely missed my point. I have no issues with your or the original comment’s opinions. They are yours and you are free to voice them.
What I take an issue with is that her and you are trying to speek for the entirety of the Sims community, which you can’t. Even if you don’t intend to, you’re making it sound like it. Either way, that shows a sense of entitlement that is very disrespectful to everyone else. No matter how many people you think agree with you, no matter how many people actually do agree with you, it is not up to you to speak for them. Their opinions are theirs and theirs only.
That is my issue with the original comment. That and the fact that she was trying to argue by using false statements, which I felt the need to clear up. There are few things I find more irritating than dishonesty and disrespect, intentional or not.

I hope I made my point clear enough this time. Good day to you.

–PLEASE READ THIS–

Why is there no toddlers them???? Well if you didn’t know the sims team made kids a few months before the game was out because they didn’t plan to have those yet in the game because the sims was going to be THE SIMS ONLINE!! I know it’s kinda shocking and we weren’t going to have a Sims 4 until a few more years. Go look at the sims 4 alpha and it’s all online and there was going to be no kids in the game and not even teens. It was all young adults (that’s why so much Adults content and almost no family, story progression, and more) and that’s why teens look like young adults and is not that they where lazy and they didn’t want teens to looks like the sims 3 and they where too lazy to make toddlers… They run out of time and cancel their Sims Online project and decide to make it the sims 4 because they knew it was going to be a failer. They have less than a year to present the sims 4 in EA conference and to make teens, adults, elder, kids and toddlers. Elders and adults is easy to do but teens they didn’t have time because they need kids too. They just made teens like young adults and kids fast (And focus more on the Sims 4 Creates and Sim and Build Mode because the time and thy needed something that get the buyer attention) They didn’t have money and time to make toddlers and is not that the sims 4 can’t handled that. That’s why the Survey talks about Pre-teens and toddlers… Pre-teens because teens are like 16 -20 years old and YES a teen can be 20. Kids are like 7-10 so here is 11,12, 13,14,15 well they skip that because they run out of everything. They did earn lots of money from sims 3 BUT remember the game Titanfall well there was a article and a lot of arguments talking about that a big amount of gaining form the sims 3 was spent for Titanfall because they where hoping that game was going to be a HIT like battlefield but was a huge flop in my opinion. Now they are making Titanfall 2 which is supposed to be better but I do t think they are using sims money for that because there ain’t that much. The Sims 4 was a rushed game and there was only going to be Young adults because the online game that wa supposed to be like The Sims Facebook. The sims team only have 1 EP team and not two like before and from what I can see they don’t have too much money to hire at least 1 more person for the EP team but just 3 person or 4 but from what I saw in the livestream they are 3. Remember that now there are new teams in this game too so that means less money for them, The GP team, The team the checks GP, SP, EP…. SimGuru explain this in his article of what a Live Service is and that’s why he is only working in 1 team which is SP. If the sims 4 couldn’t handle toddlers them THERE IS NO WAY it can handle pets because it’s almost the same in so many ways and even MORE complicated. Seasons is not a hard job if you ask me why?? Well look at the school mod, snow mod. The Sims 3 IS WAY more complicated if you think about and that’s why the game so many bugs that JUST couldn’t be fixed because there was NO WAY to fix it like routing and more. Just imagine making a BIG town rain, snow, make animals go around, toddlers that could walk from the house to the beach and cars. Sh*t that is complicated. The sims 4 you only need to make a neighborhood to look like it’s raining or snowing. Im sure The Sims 4 will have those things but in EP only for sure, and maybe MAYBE GP like Dine out, men we never have Restaurant in the Sims 3 or I think we did but it was not like the sims 2 just a rabbithole because the open world Engineer in the sims 3 couldn’t handle it like the sims 4 does. The sims 4 has a long way to go but not to compared it to the sims 3, nop Sir but to make it better than the sims 3 with all the EP and I do think the sims 4 can be better than the sims 3 in so manny games when the game is Done but will have some things that the sims 3 have that for sure won’t made it, because it’s already WAY better in building, creates a sim, realistic ways like how sims feel make their faces, talk to each other’s, multitasking. Just imagine that when the sims 4 is done and 5 is coming which I think that will take YEARS to come there would be 8 EP, 12 GP and 40 SP Jajaja remember the sims 3 store so yes the sims 4 can have 40 SP. I hope you have a Nice day and thanks for reading this long article JAJA, lot of this info if from Guru and the forum explaning what a live service, the sims 4 Alpha articles, look at the videos SimsVIP release in her YouTube Channel of how the sims 4 alpha was, other pics of the online mode and more. Just 1 little thing… The Sims 4 Get Together town was already in the making even before the sims 4 was release but it was paused. Just search it and you will see winderburg.

Culling?? I don’t really get what’s you trying to said there sorry. If you are trying to say Select a Gender that you sim likes well that will NEVER happen because sims already select a gender they like if you didn’t know, when you flirt with a girl your sim will feel like flirting only with girls but you can still flirt a boy but you’ll need to select a make sim and flirt with and same for the opposite (that’s a small detail of the sims 4 if you didn’t know) Story Progresion I don’t missed it because I usually make my sim stories but It would nice to see, sims still move in town and age if you didn’t know but I see your point there but I don’t think it can be possible because in the sims 2 there was no Story Progresion and in the sims 3 yes because it was just 1 world and it was open in a way that sims could do WHATEVER which was nice but it has some downgrades like places being empty, clubs, parks and more. I don’t think That will ever come :/ because the game engineer is to focus on your household, and places where you go, emotions, multitasking and assign jobs for sims like when you go to a restaurant or retail store. But don’t get fool The Sims 4 Engeneer can do so much more than the sims 3 did because when it loads a lot there is a lot of coding in it which in the sims 3 not because the hold town was a single lot… Do you get what I’m trying to said there? FOR me there is no broken interaction thanks to monthly patches… For example the wedding cake which was broken now is fix. about autonomy I’m kinda confuse there? Isn’t it the same as Story progression? And yes I do get your point that you want more creative things in it and there are a lot of small details in the sims 4 that the sims 3 didn’t have, like pregnancy, teach your kids how to swing, but remember that before the sims used to have 2 groups for Expansion packs but now is just 1 and is just 4 or 3 gurus that make those EP and that kinda makes EP to take more time but at the same time there will be less bugs and lags compared to the sims 3 EP because there is another team that check for that after the EP is done and later there is another team that do the marketing. Let’s said a EP takes 6 months and is done well now let’s wait 1 more month so the other team can check it and finally lets wait a few weeks for the marketing team to anounced it and finally give us a trailer. Seasons will come, pets will come and toddlers for sure I do think will come.

Seasons and pet where a suggestion the stuff packs dont bother me its the key factors missing from the game. The fact that since the sims 4 was released there has been things that needed to be fixed but have never been adressed. I understand all things come in time but when will we see the MAIN issues i adressed be fixed such as culling storry progression interactions autonomy fixes ect? I appreciate your comments i really do and just so you know i never said they cant walk and hold hads as if it was in the game im simply stating that the creativity level could be so muc more it was one of my own ideas being thrown out there. I simply seek to see this game be nothing less then amazing as it was intended i write on forums with people if similer mindsets and someone has to see that these things should be fixed. Base on thr structure of the gamebuild alone we may never see toddlers or seasons so you and all the other people holding on hoping to see the things we miss one of these days that may never come more power to you and to argue my poinys further check sims fourms in the feedback and ideas corner. Take care

My take – looks fun-ish, will definitely be getting it because I like the drink pitcher, the bird feeder, and especially the water slide. I do agree with others who have said that they really need to start focusing on some EPs because to me (and I emphasize TO ME) the Stuff Packs are starting to feel a little bit like band-aids, keeping things together until the meatier content hits. Luckily, they have been fairly effective band-aids so far, but it really is well past time for a new EP. I can only guess the delay is due to their developing something really big and they want to make sure it’s done right (weather? pets? toddlers?), but even so, I need something more soon to really make me want to play this game regularly.

Correction: Stuff you don’t need.
Read through this comment section and you will find plenty comments stating how excited they are about the pack.
You don’t like the game as it is right now, nobody is forcing you to play it. Constructive criticism is always great, but “I want this and that and that and also this!” won’t help anyone.
You feel like the current content is a rip-off? Good, don’t buy it, nobody is forcing you.
You want seasons? Look back at the previous Sims titles and take note as to when those packs were released. Pets took 2 years for Sims 3, Seasons about 3 years. Surprisingly, content takes actual time to be created.
Or alternatively, go play the previous Sims titles. It’s not like they are now illegal or have disappeared off of the face of the earth, even if some people pretend like that’s the case.

Also, men pee sitting down? Aside from there being nothing wrong with that, you do realize that men do possess intestines? The game determines how a male Sim uses the toilet depending on their Bladder need. Hell, there is even an option in the gender settings that lets you determine whether a Sim can use the toilet standing or not. The fact that one has to argue about this. That reminds me of this one person ages ago who claimed that Sims couldn’t use pool ladders in Sims 4 simply because they can also choose not to use them and enter and leave pools in different ways.
Last names do not change after marriage, true. As is the case with many modern couples in our real world. The game allows you to do that on your own in CAS, instead of forcing a name change on you, even if you don’t want it. Shame on the developers for going with the times and being considerate. There could be a UI option to choose this one, yes. But chances are you are going to enter CAS right before a marriage anyway.

Opinions are opinions and they should be respected. But the sense of entitlement of some people in this community goes beyond anything I’ve seen in the gaming community and that is saying a lot.
This immediate “WE do not want this. WE want you to do this. WE are disappointed.”, as if the entire community had elected a single person as its spokesperson is so unbelievably childish and completely disregards the opinions of others. Actually, scratch that, I work with children who know to act better than that.
To voice ones opinion also requires you to accept differing opinions and to have enough respect for others to actually realize that you simply can’t speak for them. Some might call this an overreaction for using WE instead of I, but that fact alone just shows how terrible this has gotten lately. There is no WE when voicing one’s opinion. To use it anyway shows a major lack of respect and understanding for other people, their views and beliefs. It’s the same sense of entitlement that a great many wars have been fought over.
