Seeing all the posts about EA and the future of The Sims, people saying they’re uninstalling, deleting their blogs, that life is over… I just want to say this as someone who's made rash decisions in the middle of big emotions:
Inhale deeply, exhale slowly. Close your eyes and repeat a few times. Block out the online noise for a second. Focus on yourself. Feel what's happening in your own body. Let it loosen.
Right now you're upset, worried, angry, grieving. Of course you want to do something, maybe escape, maybe burn it all down. But two days from now, when the dust starts to settle, you'll be staring at a new problem: "Oh no, what have I done?!" Don't add to your pain by acting in panic.
We don't have all the facts yet. There's speculation, misinformation, and a lot of fearmongering. There's also truth. But before taking any action, take a step back. Let your emotions cool. Then come back and read, think, and make a decision.
Yes, things will change. Yes, it's uncomfortable, and there will be losses. But if you delete your blog today, you're also deleting your community. All the people who think like you, who share your space.
If you're anxious and your emotions are boiling over, log out. Close the computer. Lock the apps that escalate those emotions. Don't wind yourself up further. Trust me on this.
In a few weeks, the situation will be clearer. That's just how it always goes. This community is made of so many different people. People who support each other without hesitation, who share tutorials, workarounds, and advice about everything under the sun. There will be guides. There will be fixes. There will be people to lean on. Together, solutions are always found.
So yes, feel the frustration, the sadness, the anger. Then breathe. Step back for a second. Don't torch your bridges in the heat of panic. The game may change, the company may disappoint, but the community remains here, unless we destroy it ourselves.
PS! This is just my opinion. If you don't agree, don't agree.
