Aliens were just green sims. Sims 3 was good for the abundance of occults but it had its fair share of being shallow. Sims 2 witch system misrepresented black and white witches, 3 pushed a bs gender settup on witches/wizards(male & nonbinary witches exist and female & nonbinary wizards exist irl) . Sims 2 & 3 did werefolk dirty, but did plantsims better than in 4 where they were an event thing that became permanent temp lifestates. Sims 3 did genies & fairies pretty well. Sims 4 still seems to have done ghosts the best

Good to know you hate trans people hence that makes you transphobic. Like you could honestly use google to find out that trans people aren’t crazy for having things connected to the agab not feeling right for them. Like Science literally backs that.

Also good to see you’re quick to use the R slur which equates to you being abliest as well.

All I’m getting from you is that you are a cis white slim gay man who due to their cis white able-bodied privelege hasn’t really faced too many obstacles that your heavier, disabled & BIPOC has had to face.

A reminder that nostalgic glasses can blur people away from the issues an older game has. Like needing to patch/mod in gay marriage in 1/2; the strong lack in Masculine CAS in all the previous games(both from Maxis-EA and from modders). Sims 3 had the store which was/is way worse than the dlc settup of games before and after in the franchise has had/does have. Some packs from previous games haven’t aged that well at all, WA due to the slight racist undertones with the worlds being stuck in a very romantised/pop culture variant instead of using people of those countries to improve it, IP due to the slight racist undertones that comes with having a tropical world being a tourist spot when irl tourism ruins those countries so their economy relies on it to be alright; sims 3 being poorly optimized, sims 2 & 1 using the same engine and having the same issues.

Quality games that age poorly should still be held accountable for the bs that has become more known as problematic as time goes on. I’ve seen too many praise the sims 3 store when pushing down on sims 4 or ignoring the fact that trans people can more easily create their truest self in 4.

Like please use that thing called google and do some goddam research instead of being apart of the problem within the queer community and the sims community. As currently you come off as more insolent and narcissistic than you believe I do

By the way, what good are supernatural creatures and wacky things if you can’t play with them because they’re broken? What is the use of having vampires or mermaids if they lack personality? And no, I’m not going anywhere, stupid re****.

It having the exact same issues as sims 1 and having a strong lack of occults and the ability to make myself(as a mixed race nonbinary demiboy) really doesn’t bring it back. Good mundane gameplay doesn’t save it from the lack of wacky and occult gameplay. Sims 2(PC) is overrated and so many mundane simmer players are listening and believing what the nostaligic mundane simmers have put to heart so see it as an amazing game. Just say you’re transphobic and go

It will still be better than this and it won’t last all my youth like this stinky scam lasts.

It being an issue all comes down to personal preference

A red wall could be changed to any other color, etc etc etc. In Sims4 everything has a color tag unless it’s not catalogued correctly.

2. I believe we’ll very likely see the preferences updated

Perhaps you could try that. But I agree it would be nice if they had supported somehow or had left a slot just for custom music. Other than that, for me, the music likes and dislikes work the best.

Each genre has a custom icon which shows up in the buffs and also even floating in the air as thought bubbles next to them. My sims reacted instantly to whatever liked or disliked music was playing whether they were actively listening or not, and it did give significant emotional moodlets and fun boosts which worsened or improved over time. Color preferences were not significant in the sim 3 either, so I wasn’t really surprised by that (although I hear they will be more noticeable or important with the Dream Decorator pack installed).

As for Activities, while there are some significant and annoying omissions (logic, games and sports in general, the kids’ art activity table), Answers HQ already has a thread devoted to this topic with 80 players supporting it, so I am full of hope that they will improve this system and fill in the gaps going forward. Unfortunately they do have a bad habit of using the community as beta testers, which is probably what is happening here.
