I am welcoming new attempts at life sims because EA is just shitting all over its series, but… Everything we’ve been shown about this one looks so bland. I don’t want my life sim to be realistic. I want it to be crazy/cynical/over the top.

I never had the impression all the Sims fans that are fed up with EA’s bullshit were asking for the game to be more serious. They mostly ask for it to work at a basic level and they hate, hate the increasingly abusive monetization.

Wake me up when it has a furry mod and a mod that lets one sim go full fucking “rules of nature” on another sim.

The sim clones I’ve seen feel way too serious. Like they were made by the modders who can’t resist dolling up their Sims and making sim versions of themselves to live out their lives vicariously through their Sims.

I don’t want that. No one I know wants that. The people I know who are following these clones are only doing so because they’re not actually interested in playing the clones, they’re just hoping the clones will put pressure on EA to actually make good Sims content again.
