NPCs have always had a home in the previous titles. Sure, some with additive DLC but the majority was in the base. They are not answering the needs of the community by charging money for essential items that were supposed to be in the base game. To me, it would just make more sense to include these stuff pack “items” into the EPs. I say that because beside the 1 interactive item they provide, our amazing mod community creates items, styles, and scripts way better than Maxis and they don’t charge for them.
This is where I have the biggest problem..they are not doing a good job – at all. They did not evolve at all from The Sims 3 and they made a title with more limitations than The Sims 2. We are living in 2016. There is not any acceptable excuse that an entire studio (no matter what the publisher) thats sole focus is life simulation is being trumped by campaign titles like Grand Theft Auto V, Skyrim, Watch_Dogs 2, Cities: Skylines, exc. in the simulation aspect. Cities: Skylines has the smallest studio and they still managed to outdo Maxis and beat them at their own turf. The Sims team has lied to us and keeps insulting us by releasing this “content” and not even hinting at the core gameplay items that have been taken out.
I have been part of this community for years. I have purchased hundreds of dollars worth of content by this studio. I have promoted, broadcasted and praised them for years with 0 complaints. However now, I have every.single.right to complain over their new “direction” – and mind you, its not just me. So far the only thing I have praised them for on this title is “Dine Out” since it was executed well and made sense for the new game pack addition – also it was different, fun, and added a new aspect to the game. Every other pack has been ridiculous and unnecessary since we still have over 80% of the transitions NOT in the *4th* title of this franchise. They will not be praised. Change doesn’t come by staying silent.

The butler was never in any base game. They only added the nanny in an update cos it was in previous base games.
And this is just my opinion, but their new content is SOOOO much better than their previous content. They seem to be answering our needs, I spotted two new bed in this pack, at least the long bed drought is over. And although there is cc and I do agree with u partly there, I think that SP’s r needed bc of the simmers that dislike cc in their games, and prefer not to have the risk of bad cc (and because the maxis textures r rly good and suit the game graphics quite well) , and some may not comepletely understand cc. Also, each SP adds at least one new gameplay item or interaction, so in TS4 they r a good way to feed the needs of all the types of simmers, for a MUCH lower price, although they r more constructed to the creative side of the simming community. They also help to add a variety of styles into the game. And I dont think ud really want to buy a whole vintage themed expansion for like $40.
They do in fact know how to run a studio, however u have to remember that they work through EA, so EA is most likely heavily to blame for that aspect of things.
And I think that ppl should stop living in past sims games, and always doubting the sims team. why so pessimistic? There are still three yrs (on average) to add firefighters and burglars and police and other NPC’s. The sims team has been good to us with the quality of the new content,
If you don’t like the new content then dont buy it, nobody is forcing u to. And if u r gong to anyways then seriously stop complaining. Stop complaining about the things we dont have and rather be grateful for the things we do. Be happy about emotions, be happy about nannies, be happy that they r at least being fair with what they put where. For example, what is the point of making a whole expansion themed around going on holiday when u can have several game packs themed around vacations, and have them all provide an entirely different ex[experience. And I’m pretty sure thats what they r doing.

That’s all I’m saying. I just want a variety of stuff for all age groups. I would definitely like to see a Teen stuff pack soon. I’m disappointed that teens can’t go into the the social media career because I think that would have been cool (child/teen stars do exist).

There’s only been 8 SPs in 2 years.

There’s been 8 SP packs released so far, which is only 4 per year. Given all the diverse wants Sim players have one entire pack devoted to kids at this point seems fair to me. Unless Maxis has the resources to increase production to speed up the release cycle (they don’t) there’s no need for another kids pack so close behind the first one.

I can definitely see them doing a teen focused pack though since that hasn’t been explored much in Ts4.
