    Despite owning all the content except for Journey to Batuu and over half the kits, I decided not to buy the last few kits as by buying them I am telling EA they don’t need to do any gameplay stuff packs/etc – that I am happy to just buy low effort kits.

    BUT be mindful that I’m also a PC player so I can use CC if I want.

      honestly ea’s cashgrabs are getting behind ridiculous and I’ve already spent the better part of a grand on the game! I’m 100% looking forward to the new competitors coming in the next few years, hopefully it’ll give ea a kick up the preverbial backside

        Agreed. I looking forward to playing Paralives and Life By You. And my first thought/hope when EA implemented round walls in Sims 4, was that EA was feeling pressure from Paralives already having round walls. Could have been coincidence of course, but I can still hope. :D

        I loved sims 2 (everything is great but there’s loading screens) and sims 3 (no loading screens, but pudding faces). I ordered sims 4 thinking it was going to be an improvement … and I didn’t like it. Sims 4 at launch was horrible for me. I waited thinking it would get better, came back when they finally added the toddler stage and I still didn’t like it? I mean I love how you can manipulate the body directly instead of sliders in CAS but they also got rid of create-a-style which sucks and makes clothes/furniture less interesting. They made the baby stage into a bassinet object too. I only play family legacy style so idk I didn’t like it that much. Sims also need way more traits to be interesting and diet preferences, for instance, aren’t really a trait. And sims can get so emotional that they just die? Idk. I’ll be waiting to see what future games are like.

    I really like them, they are just my style, but to be fair a lot of the kits actually are, I’m quite surprised by that actually.

    I have a fully cracked game and haven’t used anything from those since they came out. Grunge is completely forgettable. Book nook is sorta nice if you really want it.

    I haven’t gotten them. I use PC so if I want new CAS, I just get CC. Honestly though, I have all the expansions and a lot of game packs, which contains enough CAS and build for me.

        Yeah I don’t think there’s a CC equivalent for the modular book shelves, so I can see that really appealing to people. I almost got it for that, but then I remembered I hardly use the Dream Home Decorator modular content so I’m holding off. I’m sure more dedicated builders really appreciate the book shelves.
