Why would you need to go grocery shopping if just simply cooking deducts from your funds? Seems like a moot chore.

Because some of us want to play a life simulation. Shopping is kind of part of that.

Why do you make your sims eat and sleep when you can use maxmotives?

Kind of the point I was making. Going to the fridge and finding food magically there just because I have the money for it is not simulating life.



Dude I know what a SP is. I still reckon a pool can be put in a STUFF pack.

Oh sorry - mistook your meaning there.

*puts on tinfoil hat* So this is NOT just some backdrop plopped into Willow Creek! Ooh what is it, I want to know... I'll lose it if they've made so much themed items and shown big themed scenes to tease, and not have made a second world.
My heart aches because of that non-functional tram and steamboat, so I can't take it if this 'world' is also just some fake thing.

Why would EA put so much work into making cactuses and that dinosaur and a desert ground if nothing of it will be included?

Because it'll be DLC, of course.

Oh! Ok,then.
...
Expansion is better

You can see a cactus in the build mode trailer in section: gardening I think.

You can see in the official videos showing build mode:
-cacti
-red sand terrain paints
-all those Spanish-themed architectural stuff
And we've seen many Spanish-themed houses.

So because they aren't being totally secretive about it, I'm convinced that this will be world available as registration DLC. *takes off tinfoil hat* Why would they otherwise bother to include so much specific themed stuff in the base game?

Like Riverview?

Yes, exactly like that, hopefully.

Yeah I bet it will be like Riverview, already available in a short time of the game release.

Those gurus are dirty liars!

2 Weeks ago they all say "We're working only on base game right now, no plans for future DLC", "There is only 1 world at TS4 base game."
There it is, the "day-1 DLC" that did leaked on that linkedin profile?

It's frustrating how they deny everything despite the fact the information already leaked.

To known is, if this "Desert World" will be Free in a act to fight back Piracy so it's awarded to who register it's Sims 4 copy.

Maybe they keep it as a surprise?

In fact they never said "there is only one world in The Sims 4" ... but they said "for the moment we announced only Willow Creek"

Any chance you can change your first line to something slightly less confrontational MaxBacon?

And they've also said that the Base Game ships with only one world; Willow Creek. They are being very careful with their words.

Here's the twitter of SimGuruRusski where clearly says "We have only announced Willow Creek for the moment"

She did not say that Willow Creek is the only world of The Sims 4!

EDIT: Also SimGuruRiley said "we have only announced willow creek...."

There is no excuse for a person to act like a ravenous hyena, but some of the things go on from your side of the issue are not excusable either.

Not everybody that plays this game is a kid. Some of us are adults and as adults, it would be nice see adult responses to problems. i.e- All the bad information via magazines and the like. I understand you're a busy guy making a game, but as a adult and producer, it wouldn't hurt if you put a bug in PR's ear about the junk information that is making it's way around the community. People are going to spread rumors and there is nothing EA can do about that. The community itself will weed out the trouble makers but if you ( and others in your position) are simply going to apply a deaf ear to the bad information that is published, you're not doing yourself any favors and you can't have it both ways.

I've heard people equate You Tube comments to that of a cesspool. When gurus take to sarcasm to Twitter because they are tired, annoyed, didn't have enough coffee yet or whatever, that doesn't help matters either, especially when it is obvious that the sims community itself has spending a lot of time in angry mode.

Not telling you what to do Graham, but some of this stuff could toned down. Once upon a time EA did believe in communication with the community. I'm not sure where that mentality went, but it would go far to get it back. If there is a problem with something that was supposed to be in the game, instead of playing the "No comment' game, just say that there is a problem. If you're honestly trying to fix the problem, then say you're working on it. People are going to hound you about what the problem is, but that is nature of the beast.

I like you, but I'm not buying the victim stuff....

My favorite thing about that picture of the desert town is the guy who looks like Wolverine in a sweater.

That in a tweet, in a video interview from that E3 Booth i remember one Guru reply about The Willow Creek is the world that will ship with the game!

There's no point on discussing this, Gurus said to many things that it's just not possible to achieve any clear information.
That and for several times already we saw one guru Denying what other guru said previously.

Remember: we are customers and pay their salary, we should have high standards.

Also SimGuruRiley said "we have only announced willow creek...."

"Willow Creek is the world that will ship with the game" ... because it is not the truth? But they have not said is the only world ... have not said Willow Creek is the only world of The Sims 4 (Base Game)
