- The Sims has ANOTHER controversy (I genuinely don't want to constantly cover this content but they just keep coming lol) but this time it's about The Sims Mobile.
The Sims Mobile has many similarities with The Sims 4, including many remeshed objects between them. But The Sims Mobile is now under criticism from The Sims community for being cashgrabby and not working as intended.
Do you play The Sims Mobile?

The audacity of them to charge 60 dollars for a lot in the TSM. Why do we as a sims community accept this
Whales seemed to be more common in mobile market than console / PC markets sadly.
We pay 9.99 and get broken packs / and rely on Carls Mods. We’re getting laughed at too. It’s about time we all supported each other. #lawsuit
@@mewletter i hate the dehumanization of people with gambling issues these parasites prey on SO SO SO MUCH... Evil use of psychology
I hate how normalized it is becoming too
@@Barts90I don't think we can sue and win. We know the products are shit, yet we willingly buy them. Nobody forces us.
I think it’s because there is no other game like the sims, the sims developers and creators know that and take advances of us unfortunately and we just deal with it cause there’s no other, at least I think there isn’t lol, it sucks cause the game could be SO great but they don’t care about their simmers :(
I hate how they make the sims so alive in trailers but in the actual game the sims are dead and empty shels
I think it's because TS4 isn't actually a life simulation game but a dollhouse game. Most people either play with CAS or Build&Buy because the gameplay is always lacking.
They did that back in Sims 3 too, especially Late Night. The launch trailer for that made clubs look like they’d be busy and fun, but in reality they are near empty and bland.
The Sims trailers are basically professional animations based on the Sims. I never trust them. They aren't actual game play.
Yep, it’s false marketing.
The sims really are just dolls that were made for aesthetics. They’re so shallow.
To be honest the Sims 4 has been using false & misleading advertising since it launched. There should be class action law suits for their failure to deliver on 90% of their promises
Let me know when y’all ready.. I literally have every pack, kit and expansions except the occult stuff. As well as I don’t use mods or cc or anything.
@@marcosmith4764I have everything except the fashion kits.. I am in...
I have all sims 3 games but can't play them.. all sims 4 games, all kits except the fashion and the vacuum kit... so yeah...
@@adrianparsons6683 I've actually been hearing this alot lately from almost all Sims 3 players who recently tried reinstalling. If EA is purposely not allowing players to download content they have paid for, that in my opinion would be grounds for a lawsuit. It's withholding purchased product.
yeah I want my money back that I spent on High School Years
I'm sorry for using B-roll footage of me with red hair. I know... it's a hard watch
Well maybe we get buy green hair for 40.99 only?
It's better to have had silly hair and now, giggle at it than not giggle at all 😉
I still love red-haired Satch, beautiful both inside and out! ❤
It was not the best Satch moment 🖤
Honestly loved the bright red hair; I'm afraid that red hair in your thumbnail was what caused me to click on the first video of yours which I watched (am a sucker for unique hair colors for some reason). So I don't mind seeing that again! But I will note that you seem like you're in a better place mentally these days, so I'm fine watching normal hair Satch now - what's most important is that you're finding ways to be happy. :)
I do think we should be worried for Project Rene. Remember they mention that they are going to include weather and seasons to the base game BUT they will also still want us to pay for specific weather interactions or holidays😂😂
Rain stuff pack
@@seadragonpirate8195 including running in the rain , playing in the rain only with teenages ,crying in the rain And gasp Washing in the rain
@@tinniesealjiji you don't understand, every one of those things you write here be selled separately. You will have snow in base gam BUT snowangels? - pay 4,99 usd, wanna build snowpal? - another 4,99 usd. You want Xmas tree? - 4,99! Wanna decorate your Xmass tree? Yep, 4,99! You guys really don't understand how disgustingly cashgrabby it will be. It's end of Sims franchise, enjoy your S2, S3 ad S4 till you can
according to a member of the Project Rene, they will have basic weather as base game and the expansions will be things like "Winter sports". It makes me wonder if weather will just affect your outfits (cold/hot weather), while any other interaction/Holliday will be part of a pack...
It's really beginning to feel the only way to get through to EA is to take legal action.
Genuinely
on Reddit, some players are in contact with lawyers to formally sue EA over this Mobile debacle
@@mygetawayart Hopefully if more people join in there is less of a possibility that EA can scare them away
That and NOT buying their products. But there are people who would buy a wet, sloppy pile of diarrhea if EA put it in a box and said it was the next stuff pack: Sims Get Poopin'. Some people can't handle NOT buying every little thing the Sims team makes, and so EA has no reason to stop making faulty products! If people will buy broken things, why waste time making good products? They care about money, not consumers. Pirate, pirate, pirate when it comes to any EA game. Until they turn their quality control around in ALL games they make. It's such a crushing thought, too, knowing just how EXCELLENT their products were when I was growing up.
@@mygetawayartis there a subreddit with updates? I’d like to follow along. Thanks!
as a PC gamer, it always amazes me how big and toxic the mobile game industry is. I never got into it thank goodness but it's absurd how much money people are willing to spend for those little cashgrab machines. I mean i've spent money on The Sims too but not to THOSE levels.....
Gambling is addictive, and the people who make these mobile games actually study how best to manipulate the human brain to get the most money out of people - especially by tapping into limited time, FOMO based things. It's a science - people kind of can't help themselves because they want to play Sims on the go, or whatever, so they try this game...and then the marketing team taps right into your subconscious with predatory tactics, and next thing you know, you've pulled the lever on the slot machine and got something! Wow! Better pull it again for the endorphins...
it's because it's just straight up gambling. They're addicting and target mentally ill people
@@ember9361 And children too
@@ember9361 kids are there mostly Target. Majority of the mobile gamers are kids. And we know, kids would buy everything they want especially if they have rich daddy. Lol
The fact that the price of a house in the mobile game is the price of a pack for PC and people still buy it, is very very concerning. It's so not worth it and so expensive!
Anyone who plays on mobile probably doesn’t have a choice. There are people who love games like the rest of us, but don’t have access to consoles or PC. EA understands this and that’s how they are able to take full advantage of the mobile gaming market.
@@NotLikeUs17 I think that if they can afford all that bullshit on mobile game then buying a pc or console is not a problem for them :p
@@Vierzehnheiligen.666 it’s probably children using their parents’ credit cards.
@@NotLikeUs17 I play mobile games too, and yes you do have a choice on whether to make payment to buy something that's worth your hard earn cash. Meaning, knowing my priorities. Also, someone said, if they can afford to spend that amount on microtransactions on a mobile game, then buying a pc or console shouldn't be a problem for them. I agree with that comment.
@@MissRegionRat If so, parents really need to put a leash on their kids if they're not gonna teach them better. When I was a kid, I had to budget my allowance for the luxuries that I wanted, so I had to very careful about spending, and I couldn't just ask parents for anything I wanted unless it was my birthday or xmas. Even then, asking for a gift that was super expensive felt bad, cause I knew what it was like to budget. I never bought stuff packs for TS2 cause they never felt worth the money.
In my legal studies (to be a lawyer that is) I have been looking into potential legal action for My Wedding Stories as in Australia we have laws to protect consumers against faulty products. Their live stream proves they knowing sold the product in a poor and faulty state. I have been waiting the class action and was only talking about it a few days ago with mum, and then the next day the "case action" talk came about
Yes, that and Dine out. Completely broken packs and they’ve knowingly sold them.
This needs to be pinned up top.
@@detoxanni I completely forgot about Dine Out
I have completely avoided HSY. :/
I was literally having this conversation yesterday. There are "micro transactions" that cost more than entire expansion packs. That house was $60 Canadian dollars.
being a simmer and canadian is wild, thank GOD i dont play mobile games cuz its ROUGH for us. i cannot imagine if you live in countries with worse currencies, its insane
They are capitalizing on people who love the sims and would normally not choose to play mobile but don’t have a PC or a console to play on. Those costs are unreal though. Absolutely UNREAL.
These people at EA have no shame whatsoever.
But you know what, this may be an unpopular opinion but, I blame it on the people who were willing to pay $62 for a friggin' lot. Are you people ok?
Edit: by the way, Satch, don't ever apologize for wearing glasses. You look very dashing!
Satch, I believe you should petition to start a class-action lawsuit for everyone who purchased My Wedding Stories and/or Dine Out to get refunds.
Then, we all need to just stop, like, seriously just stop buying their crap! They don't listen to us because most of us complain while we continue to line their pockets!
Those prices are totally unhinged! But honestly, is anyone surprised? It's EA. This controversy is totally deserved.
I’m done with EA. 10 years into the sims 4 and there’s no sims 5 on the horizon. There’s still no burglars or cars. They clearly don’t care about making a good game, only milking us for everything we’re worth.
I can’t wait for Life by You. I’ve seen enough to buy it as soon as it releases. Sims 4 can bite me.
I've played for years but I won't be playing the next one.
I've sunk a LOT of money into TS4 - I have all the packs. In the last few days my Gallery has been absolutely fckd, I can only see 25 of my favourites even though I have hundreds, and searching often returns no results.
I have a fresh install on a new computer so it's NOT me. Got on EA forums to find a fix only to find people have been having these issues for YEARS and it's never been fixed.
It's not good enough.
If they bring out another game and I want to play it (ie. it's not online MP) I won't be paying for it. EA can get fucked. I will not support a company that doesn't care about their product, and doesn't take care of their customers.
I know, the gallery is dedd.
I used to play TSM, i stopped playing it due to crashing, always online sh*t and cashgrabby tactics. And yeah it's way worse than The Sims 4 and i agree. I laughed about the cost of money of TSM, And btw, love your vids Satch.
Imagine how much money they could make off the franchise if they just listened to the players. Most Sims players have been around since at least Sims 2, so by now we know what we want and we have been pretty loud about it. The fact that a company that big is completely lost with its current player demographic is so bizarre. Business Basics 101, if you lose the current fan -and customer base, there is slim to no chance that the game will attract new players, or at least enough to make it actually profitable. The project Renee was supposed to be The Sims 5, but the players gave them enough heat to do some PR management because they didn't want to repeat the Sims City disaster.
Yep! Blizzard learned this hard way - they lost almost their entire existing fanbase in 2020/2021, and now that they've improved the game by MILES...hardly anyone wants to play, despite how good it is, because Blizzard crapped all over their players too much, already. TS4 is careening into that same place as fast as they can.
Agreed. EA has one of the largest and loudest fan bases who will literally tell them what they are wanting to buy. Yet EA doesn't cater to it. It makes you wonder if they even have a consumer research team.
@@amberbouleyconsidering people won't just stop buying in, I'd say EA actually knows exactly how to crumb feed the player base. EA: Let me give you a stuff pack with a couple lame appliances....FANS: drool drool drool 'Yay, stuff packs'.
The biggest statement a player base can do is leave and after nine years people aren't leaving so why should EA change?
@@christabelle__as someone who has spent some time on Overwatch 2, I can't say they've improved. They've made things worse, and it's clear they don't give a damn about the game because even something as small as their characters' ages don't match the timeline they created.
@@rhondaweasley You can't blame the consumer when there isn't a comparable replacement game on the market. And even if, in a perfect world, you could get all 550,000 average players to stop playing the Sims, that would not promote change. In the event that The Sims franchise becomes no longer profitable, EA would simply stop the franchise. There would be no support, no fixes, and no improvements. And no resolve.
This community accepted Kits, which basically first test of the fremium mode. So they will accept the fences ("omg, this one red fences are so good for my builds"
i mean, call it a cope, i dont even buy kits really, but id rather theyd fleshed out kits better and made a lot of the stuff packs currently into kits instead. in a perfect world kits arent restricted just to cas or bb, and stuff packs clearly meant to focus on one thing arent bloated with terrible cas options that are there just so that they can justify charging 10 dollars for that shit lol
I could not believe the price of these things when I saw them!!! ONE lot for that price is absolutely ridiculous!!!!
Don't act like is not your fault, because I give you total credits. Everyone was being so snowflakes about EA's culture of ruin players experience, and you came and say "Hey, this isn't public service, I demand more", and then a whole movement started. Thanks, you are necessary
Huh??
Exactly why I stopped playing TSM and switch back to the sims 4. Currently probably spending too much on packs but modern luxe was a must have landgraab
And that's why I never felt bad for using the cracked version of the game 😌
I hate how EA can release really crappy DLCs and yet there's gonna be a lot of people out there buying them for the ✨aesthetics✨
Also. this topic has been discussed wayyyyyy back in the day and yet not only they keep selling dlcs moderately well, but EA keeps butchering their quality assurance team (The team that do playtesting and makes sure things are up to a certain standard before realease), when they could cut corners on other departments.
So, years ago there was a "The Sims" facebook game. It was exactly like this. Difference was that it didn't last long on facebook and it was before Sims Mobile started. But I seriously recognize this model.
You’re onto something! I rmb playing something like that too!
It had smth to do with energy bars being chocolate bars!
I dont have TSM but I have been watching videos on this issue. I saw that one lot in US money is 64.99! one lot for that price and broken. I'm glad to see people speaking up about things like this. I support them for doing it.
£39.99, basically £40, is roughly or close enough to about 80 Australian dollars, or at least 70 or 75. British pounds to Australian dollars is almost double pretty much so that is bloody bizarre to charge that much as an in game purchase on a mobile app
That is *insane* ! I stopped playing The Sims mobile several years ago because it was boring; I had no idea it had gotten this bad with cash grabbing. It started off as a little grabby but not too bad that I recall, but to see how far it has gotten...UGH! I'm going to just delete my stupid app.
I mean, I honestly don't think it's a matter of EA not knowing what people want, I always get a bit annoyed hearing people say that. Like the brilliant Stephanie Sterling says on the Jimquisition, companies don't want a lot of money, the want ALL of the money!
I don't think EA cares AT ALL about putting out a good product or caring about their fanbase, even if it would make them more money in the long run. They want all of the money, they want it now, and they want to get it by pumping out as many cheap additions to the base game as possible, for as little as possible for as long as they can milk it and then they'll move on to the next franchise like they always do! And when I say they, I of course mean the ones at the top of the company, not the developers themselves who I am sure am trying their best and are just not given free reigns to fix what needs to be fixed! That's always how these things go.
I kinda liked the idea of Cities Skylines 2, just saying.
Hey, they had to mass refund the Island PAradise pack - I was one of them! It broke my game so badly that it was unplayable, and as soon as I uninstalled? TS3 worked fine - so when I complained and demanded a refund, they refunded me AND gave me all of TS2 as an apology, on top of that! So Island Paradise was bad enough that they were willing to give out their whole Sims 2 franchise as a way to make amends, and that's how I got all of TS2! xD
Let’s not forget the $90 bedroom set that they ported over from the sims 4 base game.
12 minutes of howling 😂, when Satch called TSM players mugs for paying obscene amounts, I fell off my chair 😂
What pisses me off is that every time i actually want to play the sims it FORCES me to update, and I live in the country with country internet so it can take like a day and a half to update, at which point I no longer have the time or desire to play the sims
It's so funny for me to see people discover this about Sims4 mobile games. I will say that I thought for a long time that the audacity of whoever is behind pricing on the mobile games was normal across all of the games. I play the Sims 4 Free play and I was very apprehensive about starting to play the PC game but was very surprised when I started playing on PC that it was much cheaper to play 😂😂😂. Sims 4 freeplay is crazy with their prices. I had to cheat for money because the game would hit such a standstill and to buy simoleans would be insane in my country.
The challenges are also crazy because it runs in real time and the only way to actually finish it without using any life or social points is to stay up whole night for days at a time 😂😂😂. Like it needs to be your life, you can't have anything else going on.
I previously commented this but if project Rene is anything like this..they should just leave it because NO!!!.
This is the first time in over 20 years I do not have The Sims installed on my PC and laptop.
Unfortunately, I'm playing and paying for Steam games. The EA launcher doesn't work all the time without me going online and the content is poor. It hurt my heart to remove it. All they had to do was give me a color wheel. I hope to come back and enjoy it again one day but it was good while it lasted 😢
The fact they’re still selling faulty products…it would be like buying a coat with wholes in it and being told no that’s fine lol
I’m glad you mentioned cities skylines 2. That is a sequel worth buying as they have listened to the players and improved on the original game from the videos I’ve seen, instead of just recycling everything with nicer aesthetic and that’s coming from someone who has played the sims since the very beginning. I hope you do cover some cities skylines 2 on this channel when it comes out. Can always trust that you will give an honest opinion, keep it up 👌
I hope the lawsuit goes through and break EAs bank so they can never make sims again
i've watched your sims mobile experience but repressed this memory soon after so now i'm once again terrified from learning that this exists
EA loves $$$ amazing what some will pay. I hope the class action happens and there's one for Sims4 too
I used to plau the sims mobile and it was a pay to win shit. The sims freeplay is better mobile game than the sims mobile but annoying thing on freeplay was that you needed to wait that sim is finished and unlock things like second floor, wallpapers, hobbies, who ho you needed to finish quests on timer.
Thanks for bringing attention to this. Disgusting how gambling tactics, ongoing broken/glitchy content, and exorbitant prices are legal. Not looking promising for Renee....
Also, looking so fit, strong, and so much happier and healthier Satch, so proud of your efforts, improvements, and progress - keep it up!
Im genuinely wondering if EA is wanting to be "bad" purposefully. Like, how can a company be THIS awful? I wonder if they are trying to ruin their reputation severely on purpose, perhaps to end the EA franchise and start up a new one under a fresh new name? Claim bankruptcy? Bad attention is better than no attention, like, lets all talk about how bad EA is and not focus on the new games like paralives or LBY coming out? Like, Im genuinely feeling like this is all planned.
Nah, they just only care about money, that's it. Even several class action lawsuits would not hurt them when they are able to sell one virtual lot for a mobile game for 50 dollars.
Reminds me of The Producers
nah this stuff isnt unique to ea really, especially in the gaming industry in general you can see its about maxing out brand name recognition and capitalizing on that - cashing out all goodwill. people working arent into gaming, they dont understand nuances of game dev, they treat it like all other industries of pushing out products, blaming customers for faults, meeting quotas and looking at spreadsheets and hypotheticals to discern what will work out best. these people just dont live in the real world
I encourage people to sue EA.
I WAS thinking of trying out the sims mobile at one time. But after hearing about what is going on with EA. NO ty!
I NOT getting messed over AGAIN! I allready play Sims 4 and that is a meesed up/broke. NOT doing it AGAIN.
And this VERY SAD that people/players can't even play their games anymore how
We all WANT to. This just NEEDS to STOP. ENOUHH is ENOUGH! Weather it ne Sims Mobile or Sims 4. PLEASE just FIX the games EA. So we CAN all get back to playing HOW WE all WANT to play our games. Just sayin and ty.👍✌
I used to play sims mobile. I used an apk for avoiding this paying stuff. The gameplay gets boring real fast
PLAY SIMS 2
Sims 2 & 3 are way better games
Yeah, even Sims 2 bugs less than this sh*t (TSM), a better game and less cashgrabby too. And one thing, you can use the RPC to make it playable without the EA crAPP.
I mean even though it said confidential they didn’t really give the person a choice. They just slipped in their DMs and dumped that message there.
It'd be $48.88 United States Dollars
EA saw Netease charge £260 for a skin in idv and ran with it 💀
This is why I’m so grateful my heart is with the sims 3. Never got into sims 4.. but interested in the sims 5 / project Rene and this is getting stressful lol
i saw the blurred out logo and KNEW.
And that's why i pirate this game every once in a blue moon
I'm using a Galaxy tablet and the Sims Mobile game is not responding for some time now. It needs to be updated. Is problem with this game not responding happened to anybody else? I don't want to have to reset the I've played it few years.
And The Sims Free Play is as cash grabby as well.
£40 for a house? 😂😂😂😂😂
I so agree with you! I have loved and played the Sims since it first came out over 20 years ago. Bugs, yes. Glitches, yes. I've dealt with it all. But when the launcher won't work... what's the point in buying new packs if you can't play them! EA! If you fix the launcher, people will buy MORE stuff! Seems simple, right?
sims mobile is absolutely ridiculously priced omg makes me worry what type of evil shit they could do for project rene 😬also is your shirt on inside out? lol
The Sims mobile doesn't surprise me. Because I've seen the Sims 3 store.
People love to dunk on the Sims 3 store, but no, it was nowhere near as bad as this. When Sims 3 was the active game, there were lots of ways to get stuff from the Sims 3 store either for free, or at a deep discount. I mean, there are people out there who managed to get everything without spending a cent of actual money.
There also used to be a lot of free items and sets on the website that you'd get just for signing up. Sadly, a lot of the free stuff is long gone, but there are still a few left if you look around.
Were things overpriced? Yeah, if you bought them without waiting for a discount, or didn't have free Simpoints to spend. But, back in the day, they even gave you ways to earn free Simpoints.
@DaniJay-fk8qr
I don't know about other people. But , I dunk on The Sims 3 store base on my own experiences and biases.
I will admit. I enjoy, the large selection in items. The store had to offer. When I was using it. Didn't enjoy how it pull you away from actual game. Or the nickel and dimming experience.
In my opinion, the Sims 3 store had some good pro about it. Just not enough to out weigh it's cons.
@@kevinw374, I never said the Sims 3 store didn't have issues. A lot of things were over-priced. Waiting for sales and discounts made the prices a lot more reasonable. But there were plenty of Simmers who wouldn't wait for a sale to get something they really wanted. As soon as an item dropped, they would pay full price to get it immediately. And EA knew those people existed, which is why release prices were what they were.
But, while the Sims 3 store had issues, it wasn't as bad as a lot of people try to make it out to be. It was never as bad as the Sims Mobile. (And I don't think what's gone on with the Sims 4 is somehow so much better...but that's another story.)
@DaniJay-fk8qr
It's funny, I would say Sims 4 is most well balanced of the current sims games with price.
Not the best Sim game. Sims mobile just seems like DLC and micro transactions nightmare fuel.But, am already weary mobile games. I like the concept of a easier more laid back game. Not the model most mobile game use.
But,from the sound of it. Sims mobile been getting the worst of it.
I think project Rene is going to be an advanced version of the sims mobile. Expect even higher micropayments, although looking on the amounts these are freaking macropayments - £40 for a lot? This is a robbery in the middle of the day. I've heard some people spend a lot of money in that game, so no wonder EA want to do more games like this. I hope the lawsuit will make rethink this idea. It is a scam at this point.
69 dollars it was for the furnished lot/house. This is so disgusting
This all reminded me that I had Sims Mobile years ago, and I remember that my Sims were me and my then-boo-thing, the crackhead. Maybe I should revisit it…
Now seeing these prices I get even more scared about what project Rene would work like. Like holy guacamole! If people in mobile pay so much no wonder they want the next game be more mobile in the worst possible way...
The more I hear about Project Rene, the more I know I won't be getting it. At this point, it's not just EA who's destroying The Sims, it's also Maxis. They are destroying their only good franchise. Sim City was killed years ago and now The Sims is dying too.
Did you know the EA app is replacing origin on Mac soon? Their gonna force more people to switch even though the ea app for pc is still shit
EA rightfully deserves lawsuits. They are still selling MWS and DO even though they are completely broken when they could take them down or give players refunds or fix them and they don't because they just want money. Now the same with their mobile game
The eye roll + “I will” 😂🤣 Classic Satch
They’re capitalising off ppl who don’t have a pc
Oh dear i'd love to see you playing citys skylines for sure. But we need your sarcastic voiceovers for the sims.
I didn’t think it could get any worse than what we deal with….wow and is console still unable to play or has that been fixed?
39.99 in pounds is $49.17 US Dollars
EA Games and Maxis don't listen because they are making money. Because there are stupid fans who just keep purchasing this broken garbage. Why fix something when people are still purchasing it. It costs money to pay programmers to fix this. But it costs nothing to ignore the customers. Why is this guy even remotely confused.
This is exactly it. A great deal of fans/the community are just not bright. Lights are on, but nobody’s home 🥴
Remember not to blame victims. That solves nothing. Blaming consumers only gives EA more power. If we fight each other, that takes the focus off their wrong doing and projects it on the player. A lot of EA's player base are either children who don't use their own money or adults who prefer simulation games, which the sims is the only prominent one available. There has definitely been a shift in EA's marketing style the last couple years. It's obvious they're trying to appeal to a new younger audience. Most likely because the older fan base has dropped in Sales.
This is what the Sims 5 is gonna be…
Anyone remember online social RP like IMVU and Second Life? Because it really seems like this is the direction the Sims Franchise is headed.
Not to mention the fact that sometimes I can’t even play the game I PAID FOR because the EA app is constantly broken 😡
I don't know why people support games like this.
I’m glad I never bothered with Sims mobile…😅😬
Also, Sims Mobile Shanice is so classy! I put her in my save (because why not) and she spawns as the “homeless” sim in the park 🤣 even though she and Shantelle have a very lovely pink house.
The more I dive into the realm of game reviews and commentary the more I realise that it’s a problem that many other games and devs have. The only difference is that guys have more of a choice in games than girls. If you don’t like this shooter game, here’s another one. We as demographic I feel like are often overlooked. I don’t like games like stardew valley or animal crossing, what am I supposed to play? Thankfully we had Stray and Hogwarts Legacy, but those are one play-through games. We have nothing to turn to but buggy sims.
I had some Sims Fans(tm) come at me hard when I brought up car lemon laws. I was "mean" and "ungrateful". I think it's really sad now that I've gotten over the "Is this actually happening right now?" reaction
Part of me thinks if it was online, that it wasn't a real fan but a paid pr firm. Like on reddit, I've noticed if i ask for advice sometimes I get 3 (exactly) replies for the same product and no other replies. It's really disconcerting
@@steggopotamus no, it was a tag team of three different sims accounts with lots of sims content. I was used to a singular creeper but full fledged mini cult was new to me
@@catsncrows some pay PR firms to make accounts and make them look authentic by making them stick around for a long time (I've seen a few celebrities that had negative press do this, it is tough to say exactly which accounts are real or not because these aren't bot farms, it someone paid to post for their job, the easiest way to tell is the hours/days they post but they can find ways around that sometimes).
If the accounts ever posted non sims stuff specifically life stuff, I'd be more likely to think they were authentic accounts. But if it's exclusively sims and they're using the word "ungrateful" specifically, they *might* be toxic enough to support a game just because it's making tons of money, that can happen, but I'm more likely to think that Sims 4 got the smallest pr package. Which would make sense if it was 3 accounts to spread a specific message for a time frame. And I could definitely see easily an EA big wig expecting people to be grateful for bugs and price gouging and thinking *that's* the message they want to spend money on rather than fixing the game.
Hi Satch I don't know it you read comments on older community posts but I would love to know which glasses you got so I can order a pair?

What's worse, is that modders, can fix bugs and glitches faster than the sims team. That says ALOT about the game and the people working on it. If 1 person mod creator, can fix 99% of your game, your game creators are just plain lazy. I don't care how small of a team they have at that point.
I have seen 62,99 probably dollar?
I think about it, and it's not going to surprise me if The Sims Mobile is and _has been_ taking advantage of people who don't play The Sims 4 and don't know about the pricing of DLC in TS4, so they think it's reasonable to have to fork over big money for very little. I wonder if they've also been doing this on purpose... in a seemingly successful attempt to exploit the mobile market... but of course less now that TSM has been breaking and this class action lawsuit business has come up.
I can definitively tell you that no microtransaction in The Sims Mobile is worth the money... not just because TS4 has much, _much_ better bang for your buck, but because TSM has hardly any gameplay compared to TS4 (and this is coming from a person who actually enjoys TS4 fairly regularly) and build/buy mode doesn't really work that well as it is.
The Sims Mobile is so annoying! The gameplay in FreePlay is definitely better. Wish the graphics were better
This kind of sounds like a couple years ago, people were losing packs that they bought. I was one of them and it took me almost a month and reports to BBB before it was fixed.
Wow that is just sad.
Payday 3 launched today and even that was cheaper than that scabby little 40 quid virtual house 💀
It’s kinda worrisome bc these “micro” transactions usually prey on kids since they’re the main users of mobile games :/
I played sims social on facebook for awhile. And i felt terrible one of my rl friends got addicted and spent a bunch of money. I think since it's 'keeping up with the Jones' mentality that are online games, people are more susceptible.
Every time I download this game I end up deleting it from sheer frustration. Also, I think the mobile versions of the game are quite redundant and monotonous.
Eughh I hate how much I’ve spent on mobile games! Like games where you need upgrades to pass the levels but the upgrades need diamonds which need real cash… and while you’re in it - you just want to get to the next level… it’s so rare to find some really great mobile games that aren’t cash grabby or don’t have adverts every 2 seconds…hmm … back to playing sims 2! Haha
Not the B&M interiors kit 💀
This may be cynical, but I feel like it's that they don't care. They don't have to make the game better; they don't have to fix the things that are broken, because we keep buying the stuff anyway. They have no incentive to better it. I'm hoping that now that they actually have some competition coming up - Paralives and Life by You -- they will find some incentive to improve their game.
i dont feel sorry for them its about time someone is doing some for they greedy cash gradiness look how broken is they packs like my wedding stories and dine out releasing half finished packs
I am going to stick to my sims 2,3,&4 for now. I am enjoying those 3 right now. Sims4 has it share of problems, but i am enjoying it right now.
The loyalty if the fanbase is rhe problem. EA will do the the bare minimum the think they can get away with while still makinf a profit. They do less because they know few will walk away regardless
Im probably not gonna get project rene anyway, but i ESPECIALLY am not getting it if its one of those games with an energy bar where you have to wait hours for it to refill again. Im starting to feel like the sims 4 is the last major sims game at least for the next 10 years or something. I play on console so it will literally be impossible for me to keep buying packs at some point, but if they keep sucking as much as they have been then i guess that wont be an issue 😭 horse ranch and growing together arent even on my radar and honestly the new expansion doesnt seem like my cup of tea either even though we know nothing about it yet.
Ea still holds the crown for the worst company on earth but blizzact is coming near
Yes they have LOST THERE DAM MINDS.
