This feels like yet another short-term idea, soon to be abandoned like the rest, to inflate active player numbers for that sweet, sweet shareholder money. Considering the state of Project Rene and Maxis juggling Project Dolores as well in parallel, this is going to be a frustrating couple years for this Sims iteration. At least we have even more competition coming up with Grant and Midsummer Studios lol

If games force me to play them to specific times, durations or intervals at penalty of getting locked out of content, I usually just go play something I can take at my own pace instead. It’s why I never got into gacha games (thinly-veiled legalized gambling notwithstanding) and why I always lose interest in the Raid Battle aspect of the newer Pokémon games so fast.
