I am welcoming new attempts at life sims because EA is just shitting all over its series, but… Everything we’ve been shown about this one looks so bland. I don’t want my life sim to be realistic. I want it to be crazy/cynical/over the top.

I never had the impression all the Sims fans that are fed up with EA’s bullshit were asking for the game to be more serious. They mostly ask for it to work at a basic level and they hate, hate the increasingly abusive monetization.
