I've played a ton of Sims 4 but I hate almost everything about it except that it has group conversations. 2 and 3 are amazing games.
the saddest, most depressing thing about the sims is that ultimately the community just... laps it up. sims 4 is eternal now because its the most lucrative and popular the sims has ever been.
the upswing is that i like paralives' artstyle.
Yeah ngl I'm no exception I buy every bit of DLC out of compulsivity. Even though I havent played in over a year. Its bad. Youre totally right though.
the dlc is easily pirated! (not to tell you how to live your life, just in case you didn't know)
Can you pirate the dlc "onto" a legitimate purchase or would i have to pirate everything?
i just nabbed everything but i believe it should work the way you describe as well. searching "cs.rin.ru sims 4" should take you where you need to go.
To be clear, no judgement there. I spend DLC money on paradox games, when I can. I'm just too poor for sims.
(the dlc can always be pirated if you don't wanna/can't spend money on it.)
why not all of it
i like to provide options is all!
When the corpos declared "no Sims 5, Sims 4 forever and ever" when that isn't even the best designed of the Sims sequels by far...
They're also currently running one of my least favorite thing, a FOMO event. Its all actually like, free. Its not a battlepass (for now, lol). But I still hate the feeling of being FORCED to play a game I dont really feel like playing right now out of fear of missing stuff.
They also had a login bonus event a few months ago but at least all that required me to do was open the launcher like 6 times in the space of a month.
I hate FOMO pressure and I often quit games that push it too hard so I can break the toxic forced habit-forming they're pressuring me into.
It took me being physically unable to play Destiny 2 for several months due to hip surgery to break the FOMO that game instilled in me. I thought I was stronger but damn do they know how to prey on the neurodivergent
I will always hate the treat defender take that "well this doesn't bother me and I don't have a problem with it so it shouldn't affect anyone else unless they're weak-willed" or some passive-aggressive lowkey calipers like that.
Hexbear was infested with that during the struggle session against international corporate sports gambling apps.
