#sims news

[simnostalgia]

The funniest thing about the news that project rene WON'T be a hard cut from TS4 to TS5 is that it makes me think that they were like "oh let's float this to the community and see if they like it..."

Then when we REALLY didn't it was like "OH JK, It's not part of the mainline series. Another 10 years of TS4!!!" So they're basically telling us without telling us like "yeah,,, we don't really believe in our product either. It's uh... not great."

Each piece of news is more hilarious and confusing than the last. Like, at this point, I really do feel like the higher ups are just sort of giving up on the series and being like "Let fucking Paradox figure this shit out."

I legit just don't believe that EA thinks they can make another mainline windows-based sims game because the market has changed too much and they don't think it's viable. I may be wrong but if I had to guess they're chasing the casual market and that market's mostly on mobile now and easier to manipulate with micro-transactions.

I think they're wrong, I just think that they don't understand that their audience changed. In like 2006, you had a bunch of teenagers who had computers and NOTHING else playing The Sims.

Now? Your audience is going to be mostly older life sim players and a much smaller group of young people.

Turns out alienating your older dedicated fan base to chase a much smaller group of 12-18 year olds that, let's face it, just don't care about the brand is a losing strategy.

It made sense to aim at that demographic in the 2000s, not so much now. LBY has a much better chance at succeeding because they're not trapped by a marketing strategy that was developed while Bush was still in office.

Another huge 'leak' for the new Lovestruck EP (I'm sure they stage these leaks since everyone involved in EA stuff has to sign a NDA. Even the gurus whine all the time that they can't reveal anything because they don't want to lose their job if they do)

Yeah, back to topic! I like everything in the pic above 💖 A bearskin to pose on! Have you noticed the suitcase? And the painting will be Noxee's favourite, I'm sure ;3

Screenshots and info are from -> here

And we can finally, finally cuddle in bed! In the heart shaped bed at that!

So the dating app is only for young adults and older, but the Boys wouldn't use it anyway. Let's just hope the rest is also for teenagers. The cute axolotl plushy in the background!

We can also feed our partner 🍫

We also seem to get some kind of eyelashes ^^' I think when we turn the saturation a bit down they could look good?

And we get board games! The cute new neon signs 🐣

Ah and the town! They said Ciudad Enamorada comes with 3 neighborhoods and 13 lots (there are also two penthouses) and I love that it's another city world 💒 probably located in South America, yay!

So I'm cautiously excited hahaha but even with all the new exciting informations I still think it's very thin for an expansion.

i love new pack day

i've seen a tiny bit of the early access for life + death and aaaah i'm so excited

irl ramble: i have followed the fl v sarah boone trial this week and oh wow, what a circus it has been. i have managed to crochet an entire blanket while listening to the trial haha (i had a spare cake yarn that's 1000 m and now i'm playing yarn chicken with the last round) and now we're on verdict watch (i predict it will be a short one) but it's 2 am here bc timezones and i need to go to sleep but all i want to do is finish this blanket and play sims and hear the verdict

Oh another get rich quick scheme by the Sims. A movie? a fckin movie?!

In any other circumstance I might actually liked the idea but the game itself is too broken that I just don't care enough. However, if its like Wreck it Ralph with all the glitches then they might have something 🤣🤣🤣

The sims 4 Horse Ranch is coming. Look at the little girl on the horse. I can’t. The miniature sheep and the goats. THE TODDLER WEARING CHAPS. It has also been confirmed (via Steam) that the horses are fully customizable members of the family just like cats and dogs. We will be able to train, as well as care for and breed them. 🥹 This could not have come at a better time for my History Challenge save.

My one complaint remains that EA is too greedy and should not have split the farming/ranching gameplay across two different packs. I already use modded versions of the animals that came with Cottage Living because that pack’s aesthetic was so heavily English Countryside/cottage core inspired and the american west has a very different look. Players asked for a farm pack and what they got was three packs they could sort of glue together to create the farm of their imagination… Maybe. And the fact that we don’t even know if this expansion will tie horses into the veterinary gameplay that came with Cats & Dogs, even though they are going to function as a pet sim is just annoying. I will be seriously peeved if they don’t integrate these two packs.

Why did horses not come in the pets pack like they did in Sims 3 and why was the “Cottage Living” pack not simply just Country Living instead? They could have given us CAS and Build Buy in the English & American style, along with all the farm animals. The end. Instead you have to buy three different packs that the corporation hasn’t thought long enough to integrate together well just to piece together a single farm. It’s annoying AF and part of me wants to protest by simply not buying the pack. But do I look like I am going to pass up on being able to play out my horse girl fantasies? 😂 No. SMH. This damn company has me in a chokehold. I’m just feeling bratty about it.

🤍✨ exciting news! ✨🤍

Exciting news! I'm now part of the EA "Support-a-Creator" Program!

That means that if you use my special code - CHRISSIE - when purchasing any Sims 4 pack/kit through the EA App/Origin, I'll receive a small percentage of the sale!

It unfortunately doesn't give you a discount, but it's an amazing way of supporting me & the channel without any extra cost to you!

It works on any existing packs or bundles (excluding the "create your own bundle") for The Sims 4! It will give you the option to "Apply a code" during the checkout process on the EA App or through the Sims website which is where you'd enter mine!

For anyone that's already used by code, or will be using it during your next purchase - THANK YOU! I truly appreciate it more than I can say!

P.S. I'm not being paid by EA to post about this, but I will receive a small percentage of each sale that's made using my code!

Hope you all had a Happy Holiday ❤️

According to a job listing, EA may be experimenting with squeezing the remaining money out of their older titles by expecting you to pay more money for products you already bought but as a month subscription because no one seems interested in The Sims 5 and they don't know how to beat new competitors bringing legacy games to modern devices through a cloud based service!

okay!! this is cool

I’m using this map from here on out lol

my predictions for today’s trailer

okay so this season’s road map confirmed we would get one sdx drop, one stuff pack and four kits between january- april. we’ve already gotten the sdx (vitiligo!!!) and the castle and goth kits. that leaves a stuff pack and two kits - here are my predictions, check back later to see if i got any right lol

stuff pack: if ea is announcing a stuff pack my guess is it will be a fashion, walk in closet, stylist, glam room type of pack. think vintage glamour vanity and whatever luxury party stuff tried to do. or maybe a diy/jewelry making stuff with expanded gameplay with crystals/collectibles, maybe sell your own jewelry on plopsy. i would love a new hobby for my sims and paranormal is somehow a stuff pack and has a career and amazing cas and bb, so it’s not off the table they will aim for that again. home chef hustle also came with gameplay - so i’m hoping for this

cas kit: this will be a collab kit which is great news bc all of my favorite kits are collabs (pastel pop, first fits, incheon arrivals etc). there are a lot of jewelry pieces in the promo shots - and wow we really need more/better jewelry and makeup. i would be SO happy if ea and a makeup guru/brand did a collab bc let’s face it, ea themselves can not make good (or even, decent) looking makeup. the mac collab is SO BAD and i can’t believe mac signed off on it. what. are. those. textures. we need better and we need more. i have an approximately six weeks of a 3d design course experience but i can at least make a line that’s not jagged????? and for the love of good lower the opacity and t r y to make it look like it’s actually on the sims’ face and not a smudge on my screen

bb kit: literally no clue. i hope the vanity/walk in closet idea above will be a stuff pack bc i would love a hobby, a new crafting machine - just more gameplay in general lol. i guess it could be watered down to a kit too do idk

let’s see if i got anything right: tbh
