Apparently, I had an unintentional mini hiatus lol. Sad I missed Spoopy Month and Simblreen on here, but I started a new job last month and I have been loving it! Idk if I'll come back to the game anytime soon or not. I might try to play tomorrow. I actually have a lot more time on my hands now that I'm not a classroom teacher. I come home and work doesn't follow. I couldn't be more happy and grateful. Now to reintroduce some hobbies back to my routines! Hope all of you are well!
It just feels so good to enjoy playing the game again! Tbh, it's mostly because I follow the right people and don't get on here for as long as I used to. That way, I avoid the negative feedback loop that comes from some of the negativity on simblr that eventually leads to me disliking the game. I just watch oshinsims, simquoya, and Petey Plays It just enjoying the game so this game can feel like it's worth even a fraction of its cost. I can both want better but also understand that we may never have it from EA and that, with just a few mods and cc and a ton of creativity and imagination, I can really enjoy the game. Honestly feel like it's making me more creative!
I need recolors for the bunk beds asap. I kind of hate the swatches. More wood swatches, more variety in style, and more bedding options! I bet you 1k that they'll have recolors and retextures in the next kit or pack. I know CC makers are doing their thing as I make this post. Shoutout to you guys for making an incomplete game more complete!
All offense, but what the hell is going on with this sim's hair?!
Shout out to @simquoya , @oshinsims and @allisas! You guys inspired me to do a vanilla LEPacy! I’ve actually been enjoying the game since I started!
Updates
So I’ve been kinda MIA because I’m back at work. For those of you who care, I am a teacher. Staff has been back since last week and let me tell you...
So despite having bits and pieces of eco living in laundry stuff, island living, and tiny living, we needed a whole separate..fucking expansion pack?! Not even like a stuff pack or game pack? Expansion?! Is that what we were really missing?
Not generations? Not freetime? Fucking eco living?! First this knitting bullshit and now this lol.
I mean, the game needs more CAS and BB shit, but what it’s really lacking is gameplay shit. Like this game is boring without mods.
For their rebrand they should have said “Our consumer pays to do all the work for us.”
I think the wildest thing is that they have had decent packs for other iterations of the game before. It’s not like we’re really asking them to do something that they as a company have never done before.
I just feel like when they first put out the game and they didn’t even fucking have toddlers and pools, they really showed us how much sticking to what they have done decently and expanding on it was such a low priority to them.
I also feel like a sequel to a game should come with all the shit we liked about the last iterations of the game in the base game and give us some brand new shit we have never ever fucking seen before and more specific, niche stuff as the DLC.
Like I know DLC is how they really make their money, but come on! I should have known what was up when they introduced game packs. Game packs are basically half done expansion packs or souped up stuff packs. Like “we were too lazy to make this a full fledged expansion pack, but we want money so...here.”
Also, I really fucking hate stuff packs. $10 for something they could have added to a complete expansion, or, even better, something that could have been given to us as a free update.
And that fucking survey we just did feels like a fucking joke. It feels like an insult. They know what we really want. It’s just so crazy. It feels like they are trying to cater to a certain demo that is not their usual demo. But the thing about businesses is that they make their money from loyal customers, their regulars. Not some new randos.
I’m just glad that I used mostly other people’s money via gift cards to buy all this DLC. Like 8 expansion packs, 8 game packs, 1000 [read 16] fucking stuff packs later and this game is still incomplete lol.
I’m pirating Sims 5 for sure, if I even decide to try it. I’m even wary of paralives at this point because tbh it sounds too good to be true. And it’s messing with my head that they haven’t shown parafolks yet. The teaser for parafolks was so detailed and realistic that I knew in my heart that the game will not be like that for real. I don’t even trust trailers and teasers at this point because I’m still waiting on the fire breathing kid and the chick ripping her shirt open from the Sims 2 trailer lol.
tl;dr: Fuck EA. Paralives, don’t let us down.
Me every time I come back on simblr to check in after another impromptu hiatus:
