I can’t STAND these overly contrarian, never satisfied gamers who ask “is there anything do in [insert lifesim game] besides [5 concrete examples of well documented deep gameplay].” You answered your own question. Youre being purposefully obtuse because you know criticism gets you more clicks

The quickest way for me to trust you as a subject expert is to emphasize the complexity and nuance in your field. But AI bros don’t do that, and that’s why the field doesnt pass my sniff test.

I feel like making CC for the first time in a year. And I want it to be everything the marketplace isn’t. Colorful, quirky and free. I guess…you should just embrace the sims for what you want it be right now. And ignore all that other 💩.

CC is succumbing to the “averageness hypothesis” - you can read more about here: Essentially when you average together all the popular Pinteresty styles - you get this aggregate bland style that’s designed to satisfy everyone, offend no one, but is boring as hell. It’s surface level pretty

the way the synapses in my brain fire seeing this point made in the wild 🤌🏻 make no mistake, I loathe EA for its greed and exploitation of community. but corporations are gonna corporation. there will never be enough smoke for the blandification of this game. and that shit did NOT start with EA.

I think it was the first two creator kits - MyshunoSuns and the sleepover CAS kit that were the pinnacle honestly. Fun niche themes! Beautiful content! And now like Puck said everything is just BLAND and the equivalent of a millennial grey home remodel that used to have historic features 😫

And sorry, but from what I'm seeing, this new store seems to have exactly that problem. I'm already seeing beige, boring bland stuff and pinterest-friendly CC made to perform well. Yawn.

I don't think I need to tell anyone how I feel about this. This is the latest chapter in the "blandification" of CC and mods. CC and mods used to be original and fun.But since this is a side gig it's been getting safer, samier AND BORING. Just chasing $ performance. This only worsens it.

Looking forward to new sims content was honestly such a highlight in my life for the past 5 years. And it fucking sucks that the game is essentially on life support and the pulling of the plug is imminent. Bro the world is so dark. Where am I going to get my bright spot now.

personally, I think it's pretty exhausting seeing all the negativity around the new expansion pack. I truly don't understand why people are calling it stale and underwhelming - what more could you want within this theme?

There are some people in this community who no longer find joy in any aspect of this game and it's time for them to let the game go. It's never going to be the game you want it be. Say goodbye, and look for happiness elsewhere.

Sims 4 create a sim creenshot of a sim with gray skin and tattoos to mimic a robot. There is a glossy skin effect applied so the robot looks actually metallic

Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join. Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard” It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.
