from a very old GameSpy article and i feel this is something that has been forgotten about the sims series. the sims used to be satire. this was more evident by its cynical and/or crude humor. now the sims just kinda has a "cozy" & "wholesome" feel to it. it's like the series forgot that it wasn't just a simulator, but also a parody on life itself.

#✏️ - 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐎𝐁 // [ooc]#// i remember destructoid made a very critical article of the urbz back in 2021 #// revisiting the game #// and they like. CRITICIZED the fact that ur character is a “poser”#// and has to change themselves to Fit In #// and it's like....... that's the point.#// it's a satire based on fame #// i mean -- MANY of the “famous” ppl are; cunts. losers. OR POSERS themselves #// (like neo who believes the hipster scene is idiotic)#// (or skid -- who constantly complains about his life)#// then again as i also said -- the entire series has been kinda ... Babied down #// is kinda sterile now #// so that biting humor just wouldn't fit their new target audience
