I think whoever wrote that description didn’t really know what “despite” means… BDC does have a little more conflict, to be fair, though not as well set up as the base game hoods by far.
Yeah, but then the entire sentence is based around the proper meaning of the word, so the problem seems to be the concept in general. And did nobody proof read it?
Is BDC the best that way? I think RBH has some good stuff in it. I laughed at the Greenman's description, but they do have the whole supernatural living in normal sim society setup, much like the Smiths, and there's the O'Mackeys and their relationship troubles (a rare example of family-wide conflict in the EP 'hoods). But yeah, BDC does have some decent conflict. You can build on it. And I like that way the town is all divided by class, similar to Pleasantview. And there's the witch thing. That can all be used for storytelling.

"This guy is FAT! Will he get NOT FAT for the sake of his FAMILY?"
LOL! I sort of love that one, though. I like to think of Sophia as a hardcore fitness crusader and Marcel as a fat activist, and hijinx ensue.

This is probably why I have less interest in the EP families.
I think they do have a lot of potential, and lots of good bits mixed in, but the overall situation in those neighborhoods is lacking something. It's possible to add it in yourself, and build a more cohesive story, but there's less to inspire that in the households themselves.
In contrast, it's hard not to do that in the basegame neighborhoods.
