Remember when EA families actually had interesting stories? 👽

Not to be that person, but the way a certain game added the Capp and Monty families is yet another example of the way I view that game: Borrowing the prestige and ideas of games that genuinely innovated the genre to entice people with an experience that, when you play, is revealed to be shallow.

What I mean by that is this: The Sims 2 included sprawling family trees with intricate stories and generational gameplay in the base game, such as the Capps and the Montys, to showcase the innovation of playing a life simulation from birth to death, including the dynamics of multi-generational families. The (game I don't want to clutter the tags of so I am not naming it) looks at those families, discards the vast majority of the sims, both messes up and expands the lore in a mediocre way that's recycled or basic storytelling, and then uses the legacy of these characters from better games to sell the idea of dynasty and intrigue. And despite the mechanical bloat that exists in the way the game handles dynasty and family gameplay and aging and gossip and and and, it and its sims and their stories can't match the depth of the innovations the Sims 2 offered and showcased with these very same sims.
