premades survey

[simshood]

Sul Sul, Simmers! 👋

Share your thoughts via this short survey: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/8668918/TownieFeedback

And, if you haven’t joined yet, explore Sims Labs! Head to ⁠Channels & Roles and grab the Sims Labs role to stay up to date on all things Sims.

Plus, watch for an exciting new forum section coming soon!

Re: premades survey

"Please pick 3–5 townies you want more content with in The Sims!"

They're probably going to do nontent with premades, like, "We made a videoo about this premade's family!" vs releasing packs. So they'll be trying to keep interest in the game without release any actual content beyond kits and maybe the login events.

Also, the options are all TS4 Sims. I was scrolling down to pick out old school Sims, but nope.

Then it asks which townie is your favorite.

Then it asks what stories and content you'd like to have about that townie.

Then it asks if you have any additional feedback on TS4.

Then, it's over.

How Players Shaped The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack

[simshood]

https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/royalty-and-legacy-player-feedback

Re: How Players Shaped The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack

[simshood]

Player collaboration has always been at the heart of The Sims, and The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack is no exception. Our Player Experience team worked closely with players to test everything throughout development. From the very beginning, your ideas, reactions, and feedback helped shape how this pack came to life.

Today, we’re sharing a closer look at how players have helped guide, inform and support this regal expansion pack, playing a key role from early concepts to the final playtests.

How Players Informed the Theme

Research began a year ago, after two passionate marketing team members and long-time Simmers, Chelsea Nesbeth and Lexi McIntosh, pitched a modern royalty concept based on their listening and engagement with The Sims community. With support from Anna Huerta, The Sims Creative Director, the team incorporated the idea into their exploration of various expansion pack themes as part of a survey for players worldwide.

“We knew that if we did royalty, we wanted to explore it in a way we hadn’t before,” says The Sims 4 Brand Manager Lexi McIntosh.

When we introduced the Modern Royalty theme in the survey, we saw a strong positive response from players, helping to reinforce it as the theme we would pursue for the upcoming expansion pack. Players were drawn to Modern Royalty as a way to enhance legacy-driven storytelling, up the drama, and add power plays. That excitement also came with clear feedback. Players consistently emphasized the importance of depth, noting that Modern Royalty would feel most compelling when supported by dynamic systems and interactions that meaningfully expand how stories unfold.

Once it became clear that Modern Royalty resonated with players, our Lead Producer, alongside the Design and Art teams, began defining the pack through an early concept exploration study.

Early concept exploration studies help us gauge how players felt about the team's early ideas. The Design team used player studies to support many decisions from helping to validate the feature list to informing the directions of the feature designs.

“This pack was created with the player in mind every step of the way,” says Azure Bowie, The Sims 4 Lead Producer.

One variation emerged as a clear favorite, focusing on the drama between having status and responsibility. It explored what it means to belong to a prestigious family, honoring or reshaping a legacy while navigating the weighty expectations of the crown and the household. The results showed that players were most drawn to the fantasy of legacy, status, and long-term family progression.

Designing Stories You Can Make Your Own

As we continued to develop the pack, we used storyboards and mock-up designs in Player Experience Studies to further support and validate key gameplay and feature priorities. Early on, some players expressed a desire for touches of fantasy. The team knew, from this feedback, to prioritize Powershifts, a system built around dramatic, storybook moments that influence a Sim's ascent to Nobility or their downfall.

Adding nuance to how both your Sims and the world around them respond was important to capturing the complexity of royal life. To support this, the team designed the Dynasty and Nobility systems as separate but complementary experiences, allowing players the freedom to engage with them together or independently. Whether you rule your dynasty, your world, or both, it's entirely up to you.

“We didn’t want to lock players into a single narrative. Our goal was always to provide Simmers with systems and mechanics that support a wide range of stories that felt right to them. We keep in mind that each player should engage with the simulation in the way they prefer.” says Xènia Peña, The Sims 4 Lead Game Designer.

Similarly, we wanted to make sure players had plenty of ways to create organically messy and dramatic moments. Enter the Scandals system. The game recognizes, reacts, and remembers these misdeeds like if your Sim is having an affair or a secret child. If discovered, these scandals can have undue consequences on your Sims’ social, personal, and professional lives.

Building Authentic Worlds & Neighborhoods Together

We saw an opportunity to embrace the vast concept of royalty and imagine a place where people from different backgrounds intersect and coexist, reflecting the diversity of our own community. West Africa was a foundational influence throughout this vision, and getting it right meant incorporating diverse voices and perspectives into the process.

Within a fictional narrative, we aimed to celebrate and pay tribute to the richness of West African aesthetics and its coexistence with Southern European influences, all while maintaining the utmost respect. For both cultures, our goal was to reflect how each has evolved in meaningful and positive ways through different periods, remaining culturally valid, influential, and alive up to the present day.

“Each stands on its own with distinct beauty, identity, and lore, while existing together harmoniously. The complex process of creating this pack, drawing from many different inputs and cultural influences, became a meaningful metaphor for the experience we wanted to deliver," says Eva Garces, The Sims 4 Art Director.

To ensure the world of Ondarion and the neighborhood of Dambele, was built thoughtfully, the Design and Art teams worked closely alongside consultants from the Pan African Gaming Group (PAGG), as well as a group of Simmers, Nardvillain, SpringSims, Oshinsims, Ebonix, EmeraldStories, Creativelyanzy, whose combined perspectives reflect connections to West Africa and the broader Black diaspora in the United Kingdom and North America. We also partnered with these groups for last year’s free West African update. Both these players and PAGG were present through every phase of research, including regular check-ins and reviews with our Art Directors and Production.

Internally, Design and Art partnered with the Games for All team to facilitate and gather feedback from PAGG, weaving in cultural details across the pack's decor, setting, and gameplay - such as the Anansi's Trials Power Shift, to handmade patterns and motifs, hairstyles, how fufu is eaten, and much more. Games for All is a team dedicated to helping game teams create experiences where every player feels welcome, safe, and can see themselves reflected.

“The Design, Art and Production teams’ interest in understanding everything from symbology and tradition to emerging trends and regional differences made collaborating with consultants on this pack especially rewarding,“ says Otilia Joao, Senior Specialist, Games for All.

Refining the Experience Through Playtests

With all these features and blends of perspectives, it was time to put them to the test. Through playtesting, which players can sign up through The Sims Labs to get involved, feedback at this stage ensured gameplay was not only fun, but also readily accessible and easy to understand.

We made swift improvements, including clearer tutorialization and better progression cues within systems.

At its end was the birth of an ambitious pack rooted in legacy where players revel in chaos, calculated rule, good-hearted leadership, and everything in-between.

A Kingdom Built Together

We want to thank everyone who played a role in shaping this expansion pack. We’re deeply committed to our players and communities, and listening to your feedback and collaborating with players will continue to shape and refine future experiences. After all, that’s what makes The Sims special: it’s your story, we just provide the tools.

Meet Ondarion’s Dynasties in the Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack

[simshood]

https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/royalty-and-legacy-meet-the-sims

Re: Meet Ondarion’s Dynasties in the Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack

[simshood]

Hear ye, hear ye, Simmers! You have entered the majestic world of Ondarion.

A Vacant Throne and Three Regions

With the sovereign throne standing empty, Ondarion’s future is uncertain. Across three distinct regions, powerful families scheme, scandals stir, and old rivalries refuse to stay buried.

Whether you choose to rise the ranks as a noble or enjoy the simple life of a commoner, you’ll want to know the neighbors, and, more importantly, their secrets.

Set your trunks aside and let’s meet the Sims of Ondarion from The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack.



Verdemar - Built on Secrets and Social Power

A bustling harbor where nobles mingle with heroic outlaws, and fortune favors the bold, Verdemar thrives on traveling and whispered truths.
The House of Thebe: Masters of the Open Sea

The great port of Verdemar is home to the Thebe family, a cunning and adventurous house known for mingling with Sims of all backgrounds, from nobles to outlaws alike. At its head sits Cordelia V of the House of Thebe, a legendary navigator and direct descendant of Cordelia I. Like her ancestor, she is an intrepid seafaring socialite with a taste for lavish gatherings, amassed riches, and complicated affairs.

Cordelia I famously took not one, not two, but four pirate lovers. From two of these unions came children, a legacy that helped shape Verdemar’s cosmopolitan spirit.
The Abrantes Family: Ambition Beneath Devotion

Cordelia’s husband, Thiago Abrantes, is a devoted partner who loves her not for her status, but for who she is. While he enjoys the comforts of noble life, he has little interest in pursuing the unifying crown and is content with the world they share, a peace that may endure or erode should he learn of Cordelia’s secret.

Thiago’s mother, Ermelinda Abrantes, is far less content. Power-hungry and disdainful of Cordelia, she will stop at nothing to see the crown placed upon her son’s head. Her teenage daughter, Sofia Abrantes, is capable, outgoing, and fiercely loyal to Thiago. Aware of Cordelia’s infidelity, Sofia is still weighing how or if to use this knowledge.

Outlaws and Shadows of Verdemar

Separate from the family’s inner circle is Fia Acosta, a commoner who frequents the local Pirate Bar and harbors secrets of her own. Not only is she Cordelia’s shadowy paramour, she is also Ondarion’s Royal Robber, a charitable burglar whose band of outlaws hides stolen noble wealth across the kingdom.

Fia’s confidant, Aloisio Romualdo, knows every detail. An experienced extortionist, his loyalty may prove to be invaluable should the truth come ashore.



Dambele - Art, Community, and Quiet Ambition

Though Dambele values community and the arts over the wealth and material excess prized by its neighbors, the same familial secrets found throughout Ondarion still whisper through its charming public gardens.
The Darong Dynasty: Philanthropy and Power

The prominent dynasty in this regal neighborhood belongs to the Darong family, austere traditionalists who see themselves as the philanthropic guardians of their people. The recently retired Grand Duke Adekoya Darong sits atop the family tree and hopes his adult daughter, Jawara, will campaign for the Ondarion throne on behalf of the entire family, an ambition she, the Grand Duchess of Dambele, openly shares.
The Next Generation of Dambele

Jawara has two children of her own: daughter Amarachi, an artsy teenager who actively champions Dambele’s artistic traditions, and son Obi, a child genius whose scholarly talents rival, if not surpass, those of his grandfather.
A Mysterious Suitor

Though Jawara currently lacks a partner in her pursuit of the crown, she has recently been courted by a mysterious newcomer and preeminent fencer, Akachi Onoja. While Jawara weighs her next move, her father remains deeply skeptical of Akachi’s intentions.

The Ananou Family: Artists and Tricksters

A visit to Dambele would be incomplete without a stop at the Zanbira Market, where you’re likely to encounter the elder artist Ekene Ananou, selling his handmade crafts. He’s good-hearted but a bit mischievous, so only engage if you fancy a joke or trick.

Ekene is also the guardian of his granddaughter, Afua Ananou. Though her mother has passed, her father, unbeknownst to her, still lives in Dambele. He just so happens to be the patriarch of the Darong Dynasty, a secret he, Adekoya, and Ekene have agreed to keep at the mother’s request to shield her from the noble pressures.



Bellacorde - Chivalry in Decline and Excess on Display

Neighboring its namesake lake, Bellacorde is a land steeped in chivalry and knighthood that has since become a place draped in excess, as the wealthy and noble parade their opulence.

House of Capp: Power, Tradition, and Decadence

No family embodies this contradiction more fully than the Capps. At the head of the house is Tybalt Capp, a man enthralled by noble life and the relentless drive to gain more power. Though he openly vies for the crown, his more immediate ambition is to marry his three adult children into status-cementing unions, all in service of the dynasty.

The Capp Heirs: A Fractured Line

The Capp heirs reflect Bellacorde’s internal fractures.

Beatrice Capp, the eldest and heir apparent, is admired for her composure, style and grace. Though often perceived as aloof, even by high-society standards, she secretly longs for deeper, more meaningful connections.
Celeste, the middle child, reveres the ideals of chivalry but rejects their father’s crude materialism.
Virgilio, the youngest, is openly rebellious, disdainful of noble life, and… in quieter circles… his name is murmured in connection with the defacing of the great Bellacorde Statue.

Haunting Bellacorde’s halls is Consort Capp, Tybalt’s grandfather and the former Grand Duke turned ghost. A staunch traditionalist who credits himself for much of the region’s prosperity, Consort wanders the town in visible disdain of his descendants’ decadence.
The Monty Family: Love, Scandal, and Rivalry

Rivals to the Capps are the Montys. Juliette Monty, Tybalt’s disowned sister, engulfed the family in scandal when she eloped with a commoner, Romeo Monty. Though Romeo, an easygoing chef, is happy with his piece of the pie, Juliette quietly nurses resentment towards her brother and the nobility she lost. Their teenage son, Dante, is a good-natured goofball who sees beyond the rivalry and maintains a close, secret friendship with his cousin Celeste.
Marriage as a Shortcut to Status

For those seeking a faster path to nobility, marriage can offer a tempting shortcut, though not without its trials. Enzo Alto, a noble bachelor and cousin of Holly Alto from Get Famous, offers such an opportunity. The perks are royal. His personality, not so much.

Across Verdemar, Dambele, and Bellacorde, alliances can be forged, secrets exposed, and legacies rewritten. Will your Sims uphold tradition, spark rebellion, or claim the crown for themselves? In Ondarion, every family has a story, and every story is yours to shape.

The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy | Nobility Gameplay Trailer

[(Anonymous)]

"okay, here's the tea"

shut it off right there, i don't know how people can watch these weird narrated trailers or who they even appeal to

[(Anonymous)]

1. I don't know anything about this specific person, but a lot of people seem to revel in the drama, and they delete stuff for attention, or because they're angry they didn't get enough attention and are trying to punish people.
2. Right? It's a pretty big bug, especially when they went out of their way to say that it was fixed in this patch, only to find out that, surprise, it's not.
6. I mean, I get it. I am not always open about stuff because I don't want people to judge me, or get the wrong idea. One time I told someone that I occasionally take over-the-counter sleeping medicine, and he reacted like I told him I wash down a double dose of Ambien with a shot of whisky to get to sleep, sooooo.....
7. I don't think it's ever going to happen. Or at least, not any time soon. Maybe someday if they sell off part of the company. But they're happy with whatever the crappy mobile SimCity game is, and they're not going to invest money in an offline SimCity that's like what we're used to.
10. That's, uh. That's A LOT of versions of Gabby Petito.......
11. #triggered
12. Yeah, I'm not sold on the gameplay of this one at all. To me this is definitely a wait-and-see-how-badly-it-fucks-things-up before I'd ever install it.
13. They LOVE shitting on old lore with TS4. It's one of their favorite things to do.
15. Wait, are Romeo and Juliet... alive...
16. "StOp Complaining aNd Be GrAtEfUl"
17. I don't hate them, I just in general oppose single-player, offline games having limited-time content. It's annoying enough with online multiplayer games, but there is zero reason for them to do it in a game like The Sims, except for them trying to raise their login and active player metrics. They could, at minimum, add the events as scenarios that can be completed at any time, so people don't miss out forever on the rewards.
19. Hmm, I'd say it's not out of the question for the two northern neighborhoods, but yeah. It seems unlikely. Sorry, anon.
20. So in a way I agree that it would be cool, BUT at the same time, I'm good with them not shitting on old premades. This one is such an OLD OLD throwback, that it would have been really neat to see.

[(Anonymous)]

1. She's getting almost a thousand notes from her tumblr posts, more than what an average ts3 object cc creator is getting. If that isn't a lot of attention then I don't know what is. But yeah, something really is going on her brain and needs something else to do other than converting ts4 stuff.

[(Anonymous)]

003. whats wrong with his face, it's probably the eyes cc she's using
009. i was gonna hate on this one but i realized people like it when cc creators make designer brand cc but when the sims team does it...
018. i guess i consider myself a maxis mix player? most of my stuff is maxis match, but some of my clothing cc are alpha. i guess they're soft alpha (in my terms) or maxis mix? i try to pick alpha clothing that sort of fits? i dont download those realistic denim jeans, realistic textures, or clothing cc with a bunch of clothing folds though, they dont fit

[(Anonymous)]

shouldve continued with 018, i still have more thoughts >-<. there are times people can make both styles fit well together. but you can obviously tell when someone's just started using cc when the styles clash and dont fit

[(Anonymous)]

You know... they should have included Viola Monty in the new Sims 4 royalty pack. The little information there is about her online consists of Sims 2 pre-release images, recreations based on those images, and community headcanons, so it's practically a blank canvas. So, if they had brought her back, how could they have ruined it? There's practically nothing to ruin, so she wouldn't have been a bad choice.

Re: 🚨CONFIRMED

[francinefrenski]

Summarized.

[summary_anon]

1. [Simming Berry Land tumblr]: "i don't understand you.
you have made countless pack conversions that seem to be good quality, and then you just delete them. you've done this multiple times, so most of your content is lost media.
it doesn't seem like your CC was unforgivably broken or bad, you just found some flaw and deleted all of it, multiple times.
you constantly post WIPs showing conversions of large quantities of objects, that never get uploaded.
what are you doing? why? stop deleting your stuff unless it's actively causing a gamebreaking issue. most ts3 creators post highpoly slop with no guilt. you'll be fine."
2. [a Discord post from a Sims dev stating that the black photo bug will be fixed in a patch in February]: "I don't understand why it can't be rolled out between patches as a hotfix like I know they have to jump through hoops and hurdles to do anything but that's really the question; why isn't the studio allowed to roll things out more liberally"
3. "How EA expects us to play the sims 😊" [beautiful family video]
"How Sims YouTubers actually plays🤣🤣 [video called "I made People Run On Treadmills Until They Died"]
4. "skip broke was lowk fine as hell
I'm sad Brandi killed him"
5. [royalty pack dynasty tree]: "anyone excited to show off ya dynasties?!!! woohoo"
6. "I know I can compare it to the time they spend painting miniatures, but I don't want to admit, even to my nerdiest friends, that I make Sims 2 mods.
They're not even remotely embarrassing mods or anything. Totally sfw.
I just assume my friends have an image of me in their minds that does not line up with making pretty things for a very old game, or might think it's a waste of my gaming time.
It seems like a no-win scenario."
7. "I WANT ANOTHER SIMCITY! COME ON, EA!!!"
8. [a Reddit comment saying they have more diverse gameplay when they make Sims with "bad" traits, a second comment saying maybe that's why there are so many bad people IRL, because God finds them more fun]: "Interesting thought, maybe they have a point... 🤔"
9. [TS4 Coach collab]: "it's been funny to see you all PRETEND NOT TO LIKE designer stuff in sims games"
10. "I think I might have found the EA account of the anon who is obsessed with making dead women/children in The Sims! She has a gazillion uploads of Gabby Petito, also JonBenet Ramsey, Selena, the woman who killed Selena, and lawyers involved in the cases.
I hope it's that anon, anyway. If not, it means there are two of them out there.😬"
11. "Your save is cooked starter pack" [pink soup, error codes, blacked out photos]
12. [royalty expansion]: "cas genuinely looks gorgeous!!
the rest..... very confused what the hell the gameplay is supposed to be LMFAOOOO
the family prestige and scandals seem cool? but scandals seem like more of a for rent 'secrets' thing if i had to guess
and i think i saw pirates in the back so that's cool love pirates......... that'sk ind of it? this trailer being confusing as hell 😭😭😭
was genuinely so confused by this trailer i read the blog post and there is actually some stuff coming besides cas 😄 swordsmanship skill 10 levels & duels, secret passageways?, new death?, noble career, noble rankings, dynasty system with new interactions, and the scandals
anyways looks like a bunch of text with a couple interaction and like 2 new animations to me
beautiful gowns though!"
13. "You might not think so, but if this guy turns out to be Tybalt Capp (and it's looking more and more like it), we're going to be looking at one of the biggest lore messes ever seen in The Sims 4. Not to mention Cordelia and the nonsensical timeline. I'm rolling up my sleeves."
14. "I HAVE A SUDDEN URGE TO DELETE MY INSTAGRAM AND NOT TELL ANYONE"
15. "It baffles me that Tybalt is continuing his family's dynasty by becoming the patriarch of the Capps. Weren't they supposed to be a matriarchy? Why are Romeo and Juliette apparently alive? They're supposed to be dead, like in Shakespeare's original play. WHERE'S HERMIA! Is she having a polyamorous relationship with Puck and Mercutio Monty? Or wait, no, because poor Puck Summerdream got a 'Katrina Caliente' last year..."
16. "I don't see what's wrong with corrupted Sims 4 photos. Just pretend they're there! Use your imagination! 🙄"
17. "Unpopular opinion time... I like the events. They are kind of fun, I like the quest ones, but even the login ones give me a reason to open the game. It just gives you something to look forward to. I need that in my life, honestly, even if it's something as small and meaningless as a little free TS4 item that I probably won't ever even use.
*I didn't like the latest one as much because it had SpongeBob stuff in it, but that was the rewards I disliked, not the event itself."
18. "I will never understand the people who download CC indiscriminately, and have a mishmash of stuff in their game, and throw whatever on their Sims. I just watched someone create a Sim and she was using really hyperrealistic elaborately-meshed stuff with other items that looked like baby's first flood fill MS Paint CC. Both looked so bad, in opposite directions, and then she combined them onto one Sim on the same outfit?? My mind was blown, it looked so bad."
19. [royalty expansion world]: "Not even going to bother asking if snow accumulates in this world, pretty sure that is a lost cause for this place. 🥲"
20. "When I heard that they were doing an African royal family I fully expected the return of Princess Zaghawa Maximus. Sure, she's an obscure Sims 1 sim from the store. But she is literally from an African royal family, and the story line of her taming and escaping with a womanizing criminal mastermind is pretty fun. Instead they went with the ancestors of a struggling, barely middle class family. It's like they just picked a random black family from the past and went with that."

Censoring “died” like we are on Tik Tok or something

francine getting salty 😭

[(Anonymous)]

6. I dunno. I can kind of understand your hesitation, but I think if they're good friends, they won't judge or be weird about it. But I can understand if you don't want to risk it.
9. Who is "you all"? Not me. I've never downloaded designer ANYTHING for any Sims game. Plus, EA putting it into the game vs creators making it is a different thing.
10. Terrifying.
12. 'beautiful gowns though!' 10/10 reference. Secret of the week based on that alone.
13. They need to just, like, not. Just leave the premades in the past.
17. I just think they're a cheap way of improving metrics that operates on FOMO and I hate that kind of shit.
19. RIP to the snow anon.

The gowns are lowkey ugly too

I remember this person said they are planning to do the entirety of TS4 buy-build stuff. They're not even done with a quarter of all the packs and kits, and then shit gets deleted again beacuse of a unnoticeable flaw on one or few of the conversions. We're all dead before they're done converting everything.

01 - Simmingberryland needs to be stopped

[(Anonymous)]

I literally just saw she uploaded the Home Chef Kit conversion and my first impulse was to immediately download it because she would probably remove it in a few days over some bullshit.

Then I realized that's what this needy bitch wants. I'm done with her. We need to download her packs and then host them somewhere indefinitely so when she removes it for attention, it won't matter because you can still get it. I'm happy to post all the packs of hers that I have that she has since deleted. And if you do download her stuff, don't like, don't reblog, don't comment.

Imagine spending weeks converting whole packs only to post it for a few days just so you can get attention. Sims players have a genuine illness I fear.

Re: 01 - Simmingberryland needs to be stopped

[(Anonymous)]

lol it't not that serious and it looks like shit anyway. sims 4 textures always look bad and this is no different

[(Anonymous)]

1 - She's still doing this? I thought she said she would stop. cc creators are exhausting

3 - It's actually the other way around

12 - idc I really like the look of this pack. gameplay looks like typical shit but I don't pay for the game so I'm looking forward to the CAS items

13 - This obsession with lore is a replacement for having an actual personality. Please give it up.

I'm confused. What is Project X?

Is this a new version of The Sims 4 that will make the current version of the game obsolete and unsupported, turning it into the legacy edition, like what happened with the 32-bit version in 2019?

Or will it literally be a sequel to The Sims 4 (not exactly The Sims 5)? When I say a sequel to The Sims 4, I mean it will be a new game with elements from The Sims 4, like closed worlds, an alternate timeline, worlds that can't be edited, etc. It wouldn't have the same characters and worlds, but rather different ones.

[(Anonymous)]

The answer is both, sort of.

Basically Sims 4 on a new engine so it will be a separate game but not a new one. Rumor is that it will be open world but compatible with Sims 4 so they don't actually have to spend money to make anything new except all the coding and backend work.

And yes, they will charge you for everything all over again.

[(Anonymous)]

01. It's very annoying. Sometimes I want to link someone to sets she's put out, only to find nothing on SBL's tumblr because she fucking deleted it again. If she's such a perfectionist she should check all those objects for errors/problems BEFORE she makes them public instead of deleting everything.

06. That's ok, you don't have to share everything you do with your friends buddy. You can have hobbies that they don't know about.

08. No it's because it gets boring to play the same shit every time.

09. ? Those are mediocre-looking, babes.

18. Maybe it's on purpose so that people leave comments about how bad it looks and promote those videos in the algorithm.

01. There's like 8 different comment threads about this person already so I think that answers your question OP as to why they do it.

06. Maybe your mods aren't embarrassing but it sounds to me like you are embarrassed of your mods because if your friends have a miniature hobby, how is this not similar? Everyone should have at least one person in their life they share their embarrassing secrets with. Though again, being a Sims2 modder is not embarrassing.

09. This is a good point but the people complaining online are not representative of the vast majority of Sims 4 players. Also the online players who would like this sort of thing were real quiet when it came out. Hating EA is fashionable right now.

19. Not sure why this is necessarily a bad thing. Different worlds should have different climates, no?

Promise them that they have freedom and you just let them roam like cows, you dont need to do anything

meanwhile, male influencers are heiling hitler, committing sexual assault by grabbing other dude's cocks, and talking about how they don't want to hook up with hot women (or even want women near them) all while they're in a nightclub
