The Sims 4!

[Autumnia]

Apparently there will be no toddlers in the Sims 4! SO disappointed! (on the upside the genetics tool in create a sims seems cool)

There's also not going to be any pools either. There is a petition for this though.

If they try to sell expansion packs that include toddlers and pools I will be 100% done with EA.

hmm.

if they released a Generations expansion with both toddlers, and a another life stage (maybe middle-aged, idk) and a ton of features like a prom you can actually go to, and better weddings, then i'd be cool with that. Otherwise, whatever they do with adding in toddlers in later expansions will look hella cheap on EA's part

but on the other hand… why the heck would they not include pools?

This is EA ofcourse they're going to charge for that stuff.

 

[oath2order]

why the **** aren't pools included. i"m sorry but that's a bunch of bull****

 

[MistyBlue]

I guess it's in their aim to lower the required specs for it, I remember people mentioning that the drinking water in glasses looked different than usual, so maybe they're just downgrading their graphics all round?

 

[Zanessa]

No toddlers = 100% turned off.
And I will not pay for pools in a separate expansion pack. That is a load of BS.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I suggest we boycott EA and refuse to buy their products until they give us what we want.

NO POOLS
NO PEACE
NO TODDLERS
NO TEA

I still don't understand the mindset behind removing toddlers.

All children will now go from barely being able to sit up on their own to being nearly full grown and going to school.

Unless they removed school too.

Toddlers are my favorite. I love making adorable kids. They should've added a preschool or kindergarten age after toddlers. I most likely will not be getting Sims 4.

 

[Improv]

I won't be getting at least until they lower the price & add support for Mac.

I probably won't get it then, either.

Why is everyone complaining about no pools and toddlers but not even acknowledging this?!
This petition could actually make a difference.

My computer could barely run Sims 3, and I hardly played it. I also just straight up won't have time or money for Sims 4.
Removing toddlers and pools is dumb. Very dumb. If anything, people have been asking for more things in the base game. Are they going to be included in the overpriced expansion packs then? Dumb.

 

[MistyBlue]

I don't think i can play this game long term if there's such limited colour options. Like I don't even want create a style, just the damn colour wheel (and skin colour sliders) would have been nice

 

[claudiadoesAC]

I think I'll probably be waiting a year until I get TS4. I really don't understand how they could not include pools in the base game. I really don't. I read somewhere that maybe you'd unlock them in a way? Not sure how that would work, nor is it confirmed but I have no idea. Same thing with toddlers. I really don't get it.

Another thing I would've liked for the new game is a new age. Like something either before or after the child stage, because I never know if I should think of the child stage as a 4-7 year old or a tween. So yeah, that'd be nice.

apparently teens are the same height as young adults, adults, and elders.

i can't even think of words to use omg???? um

 

[radical6]

idk if your reaction is for the teen or the russia thing lol
but i think they made teens the same height to save on animation costs. but you can tell teens apart because they will still have baby fat in their cheeks or something. idk sims 4 seems like its going to be so empty, so i probably wont get it right away

most people think russia banned the sims 4 bc of the same sex relationships but its some political move or something?? idk how but no one is playing the sims 4 if theyre under 18 in russia

 

[MistyBlue]

I think i'm probably more annoyed about the pools to be honest, as that extends to swimming in oceans too, and if it's because they don't want to animate the water, then what about rivers? fishing? ponds in the backyard?

I hate the fact that I still want this game after all of this ;_;
