The embargo has been lifted from the latest Sims Camp and my YouTube and Twitter feeds are flooded with the new game footage. I've watched a bit, just to get some different perspectives and see what's coming. I'm liking what I see and I think this can be a very fun pack to play with. Especially to let your imagination run wild with storytelling possibilities.
Then I make the mistake of reading comments and responses. I know that's Internet 101 NEVER READ COMMENTS!! And most of them are whiny.
"The world is too small."
"They're teasing us with cars!"
"Why didn't they put that one thing in that I want that I know everyone else wants???!!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Look Sims 4 isn't the game I would make if I could. But neither was Sims 3, Sims 2 or The Sims that started it all. There's been things I loved, things I liked and things I hated in each one. Each pack brings something new to the game that it's in. I use these things and if they're good I keep using it and if not I don't. I'm looking at you, Vlad! Stop creeping around my neighborhoods!
Anyway...
But Maxis has been listening. Toddlers and Terrain Tools anyone? There's been much more community involvement from the Gurus answering questions from everyone they can. Even when they can't provide an answer. They're just a group of people who are trying to do a job for an audience that isn't always grateful. And yes, I'll include myself in that at times.
This game is what it is. Shut up and play. Or don't.
Here's Bella Goth giving the old stink eye.
Go 4th and Sim!
Simmer 4 Life!
