Well on one hand it's good that console players are getting cc that they can use, but on another hand.... I mean ya I'll buy cc but why do we need to make it a market place thing?
We could turn all of these things into kits and stuff packs? Or maybe integrate them into the packs we already have. It kinda feels good and exighting in one way, yet.... it feels pale like.... a pice of white cardbord....
I do like supporting cc creators though, and I like the codes we can use that can benefit cc creators and the people who make content. Though I also like supporting cc creators directly. The money goes to them. With each new update the sims 4 has with buying things, the more the economic gap has spread out.
For example, since June/16th/2022, when the Werewolves game pack came out, there hasn't been a stuff pack or a game pack that has came out. (I could be wrong though) Although there has been multiple kit packs, and Expansion packs. Of course there are sales, but I feel as though it covers up what has been going on. Kits are 4.99 and Expansion packs are almost up to 60 dollars per pack. I get it, you need money to make these things. I mean the packs we have had are packed with alot of stuff we have been wanting in the sims 4. It may not be everything we in the sims comunity have asked for, but golly goodness at least some of our wants have been fulfilled. With that said, dose it have to be at the cost of having millions of packs being 4000 dollars just to be able to go to the woods and go camping? And have that action be spread by 10 packs? I dunno, maybe, but could we turn that 4000 to 40 and turn those same 10 packs into 2 or 1 pack. No idea.
Now before you say it is capitalism or some other kind of ism, I am more of the middle leaning person when it comes to politics. Are there some policies in capitalism that some people have corrupted into endorsing gambling, overworking people, and other things like that? Ya I can say that, and I can say there are great things about it! Like owning your own buisness, or your own page, or being able to do private buisness. I also know that are some other isms that I dont really agree with. Some including equity amoung the 1st class and the "other people" aka communities that the people who own apart of the buisness want them to "share" what they have with them and not give back. Ideas that start of good, but in the wrong hands go terribly wrong. That can go with every ism out there even capitalism.
I do suspect The sims as the company has become the last part of what I talked about. Unless you are "with" them, then you are the product. Which is unfortunate because I just want to tell stories on this game. Use it to share and laugh with friends and family. Maybe even inspire to make stuff with fellow simmers. You could say "hey stop buying packs", that is honestly what I should do. Though they have came out with alot of good stuff that have been useful. So I have done this for my sake, if I really genuinely like it, I buy it. If I dont, I dont. I have better things to do than to boycott every single thing. Though delaying when I buy things has helped out a lot. Anyways I dont want to have a mod mentality, so I havent been keeping up to date with sims 4 channels talking about sims 4 news. It gets repetitive about the same problem over and over again.
Anyways thanks for listening to my ted talk, I dunno if it was productive or not. If you dont like what I had to say that is ok, this is all my opinion. And whether you agree with me or not, that is ok. I am not really all that knowledgeable about stuff like this deeply. And I really dont want to. I wanna make stuff because... I wanna... because why not... because it makes me happy😎. I think, for me, making cc isn't about the money it's about putting something in my mind into the world. For some they need the money, and being able to financially support them is awesome! That enables us to do more cc for yall!
But to have cc.... be EAs guinea pig for things that may become a problem in the future. It is kind of concerning. I dont want it to become a gambling machine, but it has the potential to be that. And that's not the Sims 4 I signed up for.
So in conclusion, the potential is kinda scary, but I am not gonna jump into conclusions. (Though you could argue this post is that, and I dont blame you) It's great console players can FINALY cc thier sims up! Make them look even more gorgeous, and beutiful. I will say that is a huge plus. I can also understand why people have made posts being skeptical about this. I wanted to share my two cents, but dose it really matter, no not really in the grand scheme of things. I wanted to get this out there, be kind of a middle ground or try to. My post could be fear mongering, and it probably is. And it may not go the way I think. Maybe they dont go crazy, they stay on the path of how they have been, I dunno. So with that out there imma skedattle, if you dont like my account anymore, cool that is fine. It's the same if you do like my account. Either way thank you for listening or reading, it means alot. God bless and take care🩷
