like i wouldnt mind like. Not having new linear games post 5 its judt that sims 4 wasnt even supposed to Be The Sims 4 it was a last minute pivot and the base code is so outdated and was broken On launch so like. i just wish we could have the final actual sims game be like. one that was always intented to be a major sims release AND be intended to be so long term . yk
#i dont even want like. Ooh major graphical updates whatever if sims 5 was announced and they looked photorealizstic id hurl i wouldnt play#it#my ideal would ig be sims 4 with a touch more realism style wise. if this makes sense#like its a bittt too cartoony for me but i like the like. Clay hair or whatever SJFNFJ. and i think having it be simple in basegame means#you can customize it easier + itd run better on more pcs#so im fine eith that. i would nottt want it more cartoony#i also like. I understand the sims is like. an all ages game i do sometimes wish that the animations in 4 were a bit toned down#like i dont mind silly goofy wacky stuff i think its fun and like. The sims has always been a bit sillay yk. but the overexaggerated#animations r sometimes like -_-.... to me. but thats personal preference#IDK. the tags that show up when i type idk r so funny. do i ever know anything. sources say no#BUT ya i just rly wish like. if this is what they wanna do i wish theyd give us One more full game give it lots of time and love and rly rly#focus on having it excel at like. being this partnof the sims#since they wanna have like. Other sims games that have online features and multiplayer and everything. they could use that to make sure that#ts5 was Rly solid as a foundation and as like. ykwim..... they could plan updates for the future And dlc or whatever and i just think itd be#a better move than trying to make sims 4 happen#bc i judt dont think With all the updates in the world. sims 4 wont ever be like. what it couldve been. yk. i just dont think you can make#it work without Fullllyyyy just starting over.#and at this point with like..so many modders and stuff and everything and how much dlc there is thatd be impossible Esp if they keep#releasing new stuff which. They will ^_^#idk. im excited for some other lifesim games im keeping my eye out#but i rly do love the sims and i just wish that it could be as good as it could be. It has such a huge budget and team and like. if ea would#stop just trying to make as much money as possible off it i feel like they could make Such an amazing game. not to put down indie gamedevs#at all the games jve been looking at look Incredible like.. yk. but the fact those games are so good eith FAR smaller teams and budgets is#like. imagine what we could have if the sims had that amt of care and time put into it.#but whatever whatever whatever. sorry im just rambling#again ik what i would want from my platonic ideal of a sims game isnt what everyone would eant#but idk. i feel like another good step might be like. making the other sims games more available and updating them so they run better on#modern pcs. but i dont think thatll ever happen DNDNFJFNFN.

i’ve seen a post going around making fun of those dudebros who do stuff like criticize people for not knowing TES lore and then play modded games of ultra-skimpy characters and it reminded me of something that i think about a lot, in relation to those games
the kind of modding I dislike in besthesda games, specifically!
now i wanna preface this by saying i only play ‘em modded. i refuse to play skyrim without mods that let you mine by just smacking the minerals, for example, or let you recycle all the stuff you loot. (I JUST CANT DO IT.) i won’t play base game, its just so... lacking compared to what the community has managed.
that said, I’m fairly picky with my skyrim mods. i avoid the ones that are more outright silly; like turning dragons into randy savage or whatnot. i pick ones that feel more lore-friendly, though im flexible on this. for instance, you know how some modding players just shriek with rage whenever katana are involved? I get baffled by that reaction.
generally i like overhauls, stuff that adds more spells or improves on base systems.
what i don’t like is things like armor replacers that make all the armor ultra skimpy; it’s just... dumb. its so dumb. i mean, yeah, i do the same mods to give characters different body shapes, but... metal bikinis. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. and it is in THE FROZEN NORTH, THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING SKIMPY THERE. how are your player characters still even alive. (GOD, THE POOR ARGONIANS.)
but what i really, REALLY hate is modders trying to make into dark souls;, with punishing combat and overwhelming difficulty.
something similar applies to fallout 4, though im much more lenient on silly mods. fallout has a long history of memes, weird jokes and off-hand goofiness ever since the first game, mixed into the horror and existential despair, and i’d honestly love to find more wacky mods or ones that add sillier elements; something like Wild Wasteland from new vegas, tbh. 
obviously i can’t stand the abundance of skimpy stuff modders add, but what really bothers me is modders who try to make the game into FOrtnite (overwhelming numbers and ludicrous attacks that will insta kill you if you slip up); i dont mind making things more challenging, but that gameplay does not suit. and those that add only modernized weapons or call of duty guns to the game; this is a post-apocalyptic game sent several hundred years after the end of a zeerust world. THINK ABOUT THAT.
...i really like settlement mods. sim settlements/rise of the commonwealth is a GODSEND.
also, modders; leave preston garvey alone. he’s cool, stop screwing with him all the time.
