I Didn't Want Star Wars in The Sims 4 😳 - Journey to Batuu Game Pack 

The fact that Star Wars came in DEAD LAST in a poll that was conducted...

What I hate the most is there is literally nothing new in this pack as usual. It's like they are done with The Sims 4 and just recycle the features they've already added to the game before to make some more money with it before it finishes. We've already had the robots, we've already had the Star Wars themed costumes, we've already had a gamepack that offers a story in a desert type world in Strangerville - which takes an hour to finish- There's nothing new in this pack that adds cool fresh gameplay features to a game which lacks of it A LOT.

I would have been interested if it was a separate fully fleshed out Star Wars Sims game or if it was a space exploration pack with themes of the existing alien universe in Sixam. Having a Star Wars game pack for Sims 4 just feels like it's going to be disappointing because the gameplay will most likely be too lackluster for a singular experience and too specific to tie into everyday gameplay.

Imagine going to San Myshuno's park and Kylo Ren is there grilling burgers for everyone.

Sims 4: *is closed world* Also Sims 4: Let's collab with a franchise known for vast open spaces

In a galaxy far, far away, there were bunk beds, real babies, and inclusive skin tones...

not only did nobody ask for this, but thousands of people specifically asked to NOT have this

If it had to be Disney, I would've much preferred a 'Disneyland' game pack.

The point is: We only get 5 packs per year. The last GP released September 2019. With every BAD pack they release, I'm not getting the content I want! With the next GP being Star Wars, I will have to wait 6-12months for a GP containing hotels, snow vacation, werewolfs, fairies...

disappointed, but not suprised

They’re making star wars pack yet they can’t even make cars drivable like sims 2? This is such a waste. Why can’t EA just create and get the littlest details better instead of “big” surprises like this?

let´s make a pact everyone and not buy it.

We've gotten to the point where they've sold out the franchise to make a Disneyland ad. The future isn't looking bright for the sims and I'm sad we've lived to see it.

I really feel like this should be a spin-off like Castaway Stories or Medieval. The pack itself doesn't look bad by any means, I just think it would be better if it was treated as its own thing rather than being an add-on to the main game that doesn't really work with the other packs.

They want us to pay $20 for a playable Star Wars ad

Seriously, the most treasured Sims 4 contents I have came from Modders for free.

I can only imagine what my townies are going to look like now. They already look terrible but imagine them with this pack.

I've spent more than I'd like to admit collecting all the sims packs over a long time! (yes even my first pets stuff) This is the first pack where I strongly feel I won't buy it. It doesn't mesh with my personal expectations within the sims gameplay or lore. Wouldn't it be weird having your sim using the force and looking at tie fighters or something but then the notification pops up for GeekCon and your sims goes and is surrounded by sims cosplaying star wars? It just doesn't seem to make sense and I don't think it was a very well thought out idea and it clashes with the existing implication of star wars being fictional within the sims universe.

The most "features" that are coming with this are already present in other packs in some form, the "reputation" system they're glorifying in pack's description is already present in Get Famous and Get Together, Looting and finding relics etc already in Jungle Adventure but atleast those packs came with things we could use in our normal gameplays, i dont see a single object or gameplay that could provide any value to non star wars gameplay

Just remember everyone...once EA closed down Maxis that was basically the end of future Sims game ever being made. All you can expect going forward is nothing but packs adding on to Sims4.

i'm sick of the omnipresence of Disney in every entertainement. they are everywhere, and now even in my game. I definitely won't buy it. I could have found this pack OK if Ea had listen to the players for the many little improvements asked for years. (will we really have spaceships before cars ???)

I just don't like the fact that when given a survey of 21 things we want in the game.....star wars which was the last one picked with a vote of i think it was 2.5k and top being hotels. How did this happen? Why did we get this? Hey I do play swtor.....I play sims.....i play them for different reason and really does not make sense as to why it was add unless this is yet another money grab on ea part. I can go to another planet but I still can not drive a car? wow I would be just happy at this point for fixes to the game instead they keep adding and making it worse. I will not add this one......

As much as I am not a fan of this pack and won’t be buying it - when you said Nancy Landgraab piloting a tie fighter I was almost sold 😂

The sims is a life simulator and EA seems to have forgotten that with this pack. I'm placing the blame squarely with EA for this one, not with the sims team I was fine with star wars content being costumes from free updates and small easter egg items. It's cool to have easter eggs to other EA properties. but that's all they should be. EASTER EGGS. This is a pack i will not be buying - and has definitely left a sour taste for the sims 4 in my mouth for sure.

I do think expanding on the "alien"/extraterrestrial theme would be interesting, as aliens have always been part of the sims franchise. However, branding it "Star Wars"-something kind of takes you out of the immersion and seems kind of pointless. I don't know, the stiff they made looks really cool, I just wished they had used this talent on something original and new.

Honestly, even if it was the good star wars, I wouldn't want it in sims.

I really hate this pack idea. How would the star wars content ever interact with the normal sims world? My sim can own r2d2 and learn to use a light shaber...for what purpose outside of this one specific pack? She's supposed to have a light saber duel and then go to work? The sims team knows what we want because they conducted polls. You know, like the one star wars came dead last in? They know we want packs that add content to the actual base game that makes it more fun, not stupid side things that add nothing to the game.

I'm never going to get Eco-living... I'm not even slightly interested in Knitting... and I sure as heck am not wasting a single dime on this pack. Just about the time I thought the Sims team couldn't give us anything worse... along comes Star Wars?!? I'd like to see ambitions that match careers instead of wondering what ambition my doctor should have while swabbing mouths to the top of his career. An ambition about wanting to be a great surgeon would be nice. I'd like to see Sims dance together again... or play instruments together. I'd like a place for my sims to buy groceries. Do I really have to pick my own veggies and catch my own fish? With all the other crap my sims have to do in their daily lives, they don't have time to garden or go fishing. I also loved it when my writer sims books would show up on the library shelves. Speaking of library shelves, remember when every book you needed was already at the library? Poor folks could go to the library and learn what they needed there. Now you have to buy the books. Not only that but we used to have telescopes that fit on a balcony or a small piece of the yard, now they're the size of a small plane. Workouts used to be able to be done by exercising to their stereos. Now you have to buy equipment (yeah, I didn't get the fitness pack either; no reason to considering we have all we need from the base game). More traits would be nice. I also miss the NPC's going to work and not having access to them until after they get home, and they actually got promotions. NPC's getting promotions... imagine that! There's none of that now. Now NPC's are home pretty much all the time and you can visit whenever you want. I even miss getting told off for calling too late in the evening or too early in the morning. When you turned aging off, sims still had babies, but those babies continued to grow to young adults when their aging stopped. Now they'll stay children forever. Sims used to leave and get their own place when the number of sims exceeded the amount of beds, or if they got kicked out by parents, siblings or roommates when their relationships got too bad. The babies would be taken away or the NPC sims would have to find a better house if their homes had no bassinets. Heck, I'd even like to get another blank area to fill with homes instead of getting these areas where there's two, maybe three, open lots. There are a lot of things they could tweak and make better, but we get Star Wars.

Ea - We need too push more star wars content out and quick before Disney cancels the contract with us. Maxis - Hold my beer. Simmers - What have you done?!

So basically, this exists because a bunch of the content already existed, and MAYBE it will get a few "real" gamers to buy it, because Star Warses. EA is the worst. I can't wait for Paralives.

I think what they could have done was expand on the alien world they already had-Sixam. Making this Star Wars themed sort of limits the Sims lore rather then expanding on something they already had, and feels more like a weird crossover rather then a legitimate part of the Sims. Plus? Sixam is so empty. They could have added more to flesh out the alien world. Something. Given us some reason to play as aliens or to even visit Sixam (besides the rocket skill or collectables) As a Star Wars fan? This is just weird.

Moral of the story: everyone should boycott sims 4 packs until EA finally lets the sims team fix their base game. It's not like this pack seems too popular/anticipates anyways. I sure as hell won't be getting it and I think this is a good chance for people to sit out on a pack and tell EA with their money that we want them to give us a good game and stop pushing half-asses gamepacks (because let's be honest, this gamepack will *not* to justice to Star Wars. I'm not a SW fan, I'll admit - but I've seen how badly sims 4 packs have messed things up and how shallow they make the systems of what should be great)

I don't even dare to buy this, I'm going to end up with Kylo Ren as a Yoga Instructor while townies are walking around in alien masks.

I wish they'd have surprised us with a vehicle pack or a travel around the world pack

"So big we will probably never explore our own, because there are over 100 billion stars in the Milky Way..." **a wild bunk bed appears** I. Felt. That.

The main thing that surprises/doesn't surprise me is the fact that this is just Galaxy's Edge from Disneyland/World. Down to the food, making droids and lightsabers, and faction challenges. I kind of want to laugh *and* cry. XD

It's gratifying to hear someone else make the "why can't Star Wars fans just play one of the tons of Star Wars games that are out there" point, honestly. But my main objections are mainly around world integration. The world of the Sims has always been full of occults - including aliens - but it is fundamentally a world based around an Earth equivalent. I can go to Sixam (although why you would in TS4 is beyond me), but my sims come home to Willow Creek to sleep. I just can't wrap my head around how the massive Star Wars mythos is meant to be shoehorned into that, or how the Sims mythos is meant to fit into the Star Wars one. Vampires? Spellcasters? They just don't fit. I've been told elsewhere that I should just use my imagination and come up with my own story for why that's the case, but why should I have to do the work to fix the fundamental integration issue? Why can't the Sims team just lean into the awesome lore and mythos that they already have and give us something really cool? The only way I would've bought this pack would have been if it had been a holiday destination world, like an ACTUAL Disney park that my sims could go on holidays to. (Bonus points if it came with a functioning hotel system I could use in Sulani etc.) As it stands, at least I get to keep the $30 it would've cost me (Australian prices).

I finally went back to Sims 2 and loving it. EA has lost sight of what Sims even is. Too much to ask for customers to line up at the register like rl and TS2? Cars also bother me..Pulling into your driveway and the garage door opening was a small animation but they (TS4) cannot even do it! Lol

sims team: yeah we've never done something like this before! sims team: dishes out the 34th disappointment in the past 6 years

Me and my wife is a sims and star wars fan, but mixing star wars with the sims, no a good mixture. They should have put there resources into making the sims 4 more open world, adding cars back to the game, making all careers something you could go to, more vacation places, a futuristic town (its own Eureka), in other works i feel the sims 4 is behind in gameplay compared to the sims 3. When the sims have a game that has all the content and tech of all the sims games 1 through 4 combined then think about expanding into new territory without Bugs. This would keep old players and gain alot of new players. Make the Sims Great Again lol.

its supposed to be a life simulator - this has become something else now, also didn't they already have a few star wars costumes as part of the base game?

As a huge Star Wars fan but theres legit no reason for it to be a game pack. I mean at least it has potential with mods but cmon man theres better game plays to be made

I have a sickening feeling that this is going to be like Strangerville. My inner nerd loves Star Wars, I grew up with it. But I just don't TRUST EA to actually deliver a fully flushed out pack that has...depth. Because their track record over the last 7 years has shown that they can't do that anymore. Idk, I won't be getting this one, it just seems like it won't work and it will just disappoint me.

The worst thing about this is, that we probably don't even get useful build or CAS items in this pack. I've given Strangerville a pass, because a lot of items were cute outside of the story line. This pack is going to be straight up worthless.

4:19 I was especially worried about that aspect. I don't want to see Bob Pancakes dueling with someone with a lightsaber or Bella Goth in some alien bar or whatever.

The "no one asked for this" still aplys tho... is an hyperbole, but you can see the dislikes on the trailer to see how upset the community is. And as community we didn't ask for this, is not even in the top 20 things most asked for the community, it never was.

Why is EA doing this? This was the least wanted option in the list they asked us in those surveys. STAR WARS fans rather play a star wars game haha. Nobody wanted it. Why the hell is EA doing this? I thought we would receive what community asked: farms, horses, hotels.

honestly as most likely other have already said this would have made a far better "sims medieval" style spin off rather than a game pack. do i like the idea of this pack? sure. do i think it'll mesh well with the current state of the game? .... ehh... unlikely, the games in a bad state since Realm of magics copy pasto, eco's sheer short falling and knittings lack of arts and crafts. i can see this pack being a huge let down and a bad pack over all, BUT i would happly eat those words if proven wrong, and as you have said carl im hoping that this doesnt bleed to much into sims 4's base world, though one bleed over i'd happly have is the alien sims roster also filling up with star wars aliens BUT ONLY at Saxim special lot and portal+satellite "alien summons" though if i can have a pet gonk droid then pack will be 11/10 just be cause you cant mess with the gonk.

So, I'm guessing it'll either be "open-ended" (AKA nothing) or some sort of Strangerville plotline with a Star Wars veneer slapped over it. My expectations are already low, I'm just hoping the alien sims are _actual_ aliens and not just townies in costumes, that the new world (or worlds but that's being optimistic) isn't _too_ small and that we _can_ use dark force powers like choking people, but I'm highly doubtful of all of these. ...I just wanted werewolves gdi 🙄

The Sims team just proved that it’s all about the money with this game pack announcement. *No one asked for this.*

Here's the thing: It actually does look amazing. However, Nothing about Star Wars connects into the Sims 4 world. It's a fourth wall breaker, and it ignores the Sims lore we have. In addition, if this pack has features like "choose a side," we had all best be hoping Sims fixes their 'choose a side' ratios for the game, looking at how EcoLifestyle is a bust in that area. There is too many new things that looks like they can be just as busted, and not enough play off the old packs with things that are busted to suggest this game pack will have fixed any of these errors. I don't understand players who complain about recycling animations - YES! By all means, recycle old animations! Do so and deep dive into them and the game play surrounding them so you can find the errors! Work smart! Make something new AND fix the game! Stop making new things that are really tested, or don't fit the world...and make the game playable. I think my biggest frustration right now is that the game feels like it is only catering to builders in previous packs, and now to a company agreement. New things...whatever...who cares? If fixing the game isn't good enough (I don't understand why, quality over quantity should sell better, right?), then I'd even be willing to pay stuff pack price for the team to just all turn and focus on fixing all the bugs. Make the game playable again. Shoot, just fix all the new errors in the past year that we didn't have a year before now. I would be excited for this if the game WORKED, because you are right. It looks great. As it is, when I load Sims, my internet is off. I am afraid of even updating it, given that updates tend to actually cause more bugs. I would also be excited if I new Star Wars Sims would....stay in Star Wars. I really don't want them roaming around anywhere in the game (or the buildings? that build smack in the middle of Willow Creek looks wrong and weird). Again, it looks great. But it is not the Sims. The team has done great barely-concealed crossovers before. They could do it again. It didn't have to be so in-your-face. And, yes, the energy put into this is disappointing and frustrating, because of everything said above. If the Sims team can't even fix all these new bugs that have popped up this year, they shouldn't be forced to put so much effort and time into all these new things. Or, you know, at least make updates optional. I don't let Samsung come into my house and "fix" appliances I bought to make them work, and I'd demand a refund if they did. I just...wish that things that were digital were given the same level of respect... I sincerely hope that the team addresses the community's frustrations, and I also hope that we as a community can truly show the self control to not purchase this as a matter of completion or whatever. It's not being spoiled or whining or anything...it's asking for stuff no community should have to ask for. Don't break the game, and fix it when you do, and why does it feel like a life simulation game is catering to builders? Why on earth is this game lacking in areas that were so basic to previous games? A thoughtful acknowledgment and response that was specific and deep-dove into the problems the Sims team are facing would gain them a lot more patience and respect. Feeling like we're asking a void that says nothing but demands money and breaks what we already paid for is.... it's not a surprise things are coming to a head.

Baby comes out wearing the Kylo Ren helmet... 😂

Don't worry Carl - it's not just you. Nobody wanted this. EA has completely lost touch with what the fans want. This is 100% a cash grab and it's sad. P.S. Batuu is the Star Wars land at Disney World/Disneyland. So yeah, it will be one tiny area. In the storyline of the Disney World area, Black Spire Outpost was used as a Resistance hideout until the First Order arrived. I imagine this will follow the same story.

Yep, I peaced out after Realm of Magic. I've literally been with this franchise since the beginning and have bought the vast majority of packs and content across all four games. I'm done. I'm out. Sims 4 has never really captured my interest or imagination like previous titles, and it's a relief to have finally given up on it.

98.9k subscribers!! You are so close Carl!! Congratulations in advance and thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. I've loved watching you progress with your guide quality and love how dedicated you are Side note: your voice is very calming! I'll often put a playlist of your videos on if I'm having trouble sleeping (even though I've watched basically all of them by now!!) Come on guys, give him some support if you don't already follow the channel!

Personally, I think this will be great. If I understand it correctly, you'll get a StrangerVille style story combined with Jungle Adventure and Realm of Magic type mechanics. Three game packs for the price of one! Oh yeah - /s

This is just another pack I'm adding to the "Won't ever buy" list. It screams Disney's desperation (even though this was in development for at least a year by this point) given recent news I've been hearing about how they're bleeding money. Packs like this are where I speak with my wallet and refuse to buy. Hopefully, it sells poorly and tells EA we don't care for Star Wars, NOT tell them we're done with Sims 4.

The only usage for Star Wars outfit is Jim Picken’s cult outfit...

"and it comes out as white as the driven snow" 😂😂😂

So close to a hundred thousand subscribers!! I wish you the best!

unless I can force choke a sim it's not star wars

Disney ruins everything.

I am a casual Star Wars fan, I even kind of (well, with the exception of ONE) liked the new movies. I am a realism sim player, I would not play this but for those that will - you hit the nail on the head! The gameplay is going to be lackluster, the animations will be repetitive, and it'll be rabbit hole after rabbit hole. I feel bad for those that are excited because the Sims could never live up to their expectations, it's a shame.

Thank you, Carl, for being eloquent enough to put together all the thoughts I’ve been having! Except when I was having them it was mostly a panic tornado in my head. I feel much calmer now - thank you!!!

I lost it at the flying bunk bed.

We could've... had werewolves instead.... *sigh* I've just accepted we'll never ever get wolf people like I really really wanted at this point...

Lmao bruh I want whatever drugs the sims management team was doing when they decided this was a smart idea. This game has sold out so hard its just so laughable, I didnt really know how EA could be any more money grubbing with the Sims 4 but lo and behold. I feel so bad for all the people who still play this game and were looking forward to good content but then again i mean what do you expect after the last 5 years?

Carl your videos are everything and I hope we can get through this one!

Love you carl but i hated this pack news so much my mind blanked it out of my system all day and this video just reminded me it was real 😭😂

It's an out of season April Fools joke I think... 🤔

Thanks for always being fair and honest, Carl. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the pack. I agree for the most part. I love star wars, but I'm not sure how great these additions are going to work. Might be fun for a few hours, but I might wait for sale.

Carl , I love how your channel has grown.

This would've been received better as a stuff pack. Unfortunately, the CAS and build items don't seem like they're even up to par with some other stuff packs.....

"if you wanna play a star wars game, go play a star wars game" --- THIS a million times but yeah, like i've said over & over, every mod i have in my game is to make it MORE realistic, this BS is the complete opposite of that, this is gonna be the pack that finally breaks me of the need to be a completionist...it's utterly ridiculous, 55k dislikes on this game pack trailer & counting

I personally am trying to keep an open mind until I see the guru gameplay but I appreciate your calm, well thought out and non ranty thoughts about this announcement.

At least it’s not the Katy Perry packs from the sims 3

While the Star Wars theme of this do interest me a little bit, the whole deal with the main characters from the movies being in this pack is kinda off-putting to me. Why not just have a generic Jedi/Rebel and Sith/Empire faction instead? But nope, someone somewhere apparently want those faces everywhere.

I was actually excited for a galaxy/space theme GP. Galaxy build items, expansión on the astronaut career, new species (maybe the werewolves are an alien experiment?) a new Planet/neighbourhood.... Something similar to strangeville (i actually liked that pack. I played the storymode with a group of teenagers who had to save the world, it was fun). And you know, maybe some updates in the base game along the way. But nop. It's frickin star wars. They could have had a galaxy theme GP with Star wars references but as always, EA really likes to feed us breadcrumbs instead of the whole bread.

one thing i noticed in the trailer is that one of the aliens uses the same voice actor as a similar character form star wars rebels.

I love how you include that bunk bed in there in space. I agree too. I do also love star wars, but I think not in the Sims for sure. IDK how the gameplay will work, but I do be liking the build and buy mode, but maybe that's about it. I'll see more into it when the livestream comes out >_

I wanted farming, horses or werewolves (or, why not, all three?), I've never been so disappointed by the developers. Seems like I won't buy this either, If that's what they want.

I can see something like this working as a stand alone, like the 'stories' games they did with the Sims 2 gameplay. Being a pack makes it seem shoehorned. I've tried repeatedly to feel invested in Sims 4 because I've been playing Sims games from the start, but I honestly think I'm done. On the plus side, I found out yesterday that despite all the stories online about it not working, Sims 2 works perfectly for me on Win 10, so I'm good with that.

Expected? No Surprised? No Disappointed? You betcha

"... a cast that never leaves this place..." We actually have that in both Strangerville and Jungle Adventure. You don't see the 'military' and 'scientists' from Strangerville in the other neighborhoods and you don't see the townies from Jungle Adventure in the other neighborhoods either. I WISH there were a cast of spellcasters that you only saw in the magic realm. However you are completely right and it will not go to depth that any of us would want it to. This was EA and Disney working together to promote both instead of either of them giving us quality content. To be very honest again, my niece (i know I mention them a lot, but they are my play buddies) asked to play sims 3 a couple weeks ago and I was like well, yeah, we sure can. And so the last couple weeks we have been playing 3 and it just so completely drives home what is missing in 4. Now, all my girls have been playing since they were about 4 years old, they come to Auntie's house and thats what we do. The oldest is now 22 and the youngest 14 (almost, two months, she already says 14). THEY are saying things like how sims 2 and 3 were more for adults and sims 4 is for kids. THEY are saying, maybe sims 5 will be more adult and vampire can be truly evil, that witches can do real curses on people like sims 3 started towards. You can see the kind of games we play. But the point is that THEY are asking for more depth in the game and that sims 3 started that way and they are disappointed that Sims 4 went the other direction. As they are HUGE star wars fans (that are very upset on the SJW trend the franchise went in) I cannot help but think this will be a big disappointment to them. Yes I will buy it. Yes I will likely enjoy it. BUT I will not enjoy it as much as I did the Supernatural pack in Sims 3 or World Adventures in Sims 3 or Into the Future in Sims 3 ... I think you see where I'm going. We DO play occults in the sims and it seems they are trying to add what they DIDNT in the other packs in Sims 4 that was missing, which they could have just put a control in to keep them out of the game for people who didn't want them but give them to us that found them to be a staple in our games from Sims 1 on being as most of the cool item from the other games came from them. This has turned into a rant that sounds quite familiar to me and probably many others, but the point that I was originally going toward is .. if Sims 3 had done this I would expect it to have a lot more depth than we will see in Sims 4 and we would enjoy it more than I'm sure we will.

Wow. Even back in the day the Sims 3 team had the common sense of making The Sims Medieval a separate game, despite the community asking to integrate both concepts -- it's a good example of how players have no freaking idea of what they want. I'm looking at you, laundry/knitting stuff packs. Would I buy TS4 SW as a separate game? Probably not, but I'm not the target anyway. Maybe if I'm a completionist. As a gamepack? Hard pass. I don't know what's worse: Laura Goth casually strolling Batuu in a red dress or Stormtroopers fishing in Oasis Springs. It looks like since Realm of Magic the Sims team is in a Kamikaze mission to kill the franchise at any cost. Well played, guys. It's working.

I like the Sims. I like Star Wars. I never wanted the two to meet.

Lost it with when the bunk bed came in the frame lol

Okay, now I know what this is, it is like the Star Wars attraction in Disney World. It is totally immersive and exclusive, a separate part of the world. So this is a world within the world. That is why you have to take a vacation to get there, because it is a vacation world. Since it is totally immersive, to give you the full effect of being in a Star Wars world, without leaving the planet--ours that is, and it is the same way in the Sims. I like the idea, but although I wouldn't be building in another world unless it is New Crest or Oasis Springs--to make a whole new world with the bb items. I really wish this was like the Sims Medieval--a totally separate series.

WTF?! In the polling, Star Wars was *dead* last with only 2K votes. What the hell?!

Paralives is looking even better now😤

The bunk bed floating thru space 😂😂😂

Thanks Carl. Another great read of a sad tale. And, with the help of Get Famous and the Uni pack, we can (sort of) add C-P3O and Chewbacca into this fantasy(?). And people were worried about vampires making their way into your sims worlds. I think the leak was on purpose so that the disappointment would be over with when it got announced but that didn't work out so well, now did it.

Like every RU-vidr I have seen so far I have problems picturing how they are going to intergrate this pack into the Sims universe.

I'm not a SW fan so I wouldn't have been excited regardless, but some people have pointed out that this pack probably would have been much more well-received if it was released next year... AFTER we'd gotten some stuff that the fans have been desperately asking for, especially stuff that appeared on polls, ESPECIALLY better skintones. But right now, a lot of Sims fans have already been feeling let down and dissatisfied by the latest packs. There was ALREADY sort of a tense energy in much of the playerbase. This pack was a shot at redemption and they blew it on... a brand crossover?!?! It feels so incredibly tone-deaf and, to be honest, like a blatant cash grab. We already knew that EA has been pretty greedy but this feels like a new level. I just have a sour taste in my mouth at this point. When Sims 4 first came out, and for a while after, I was one of its defenders, and now I feel like I made a mistake for that. It's an awful feeling to defend a game only for it to go and double down on its flaws to the point where you feel bad that you ever stuck up for it... Not to mention all the money I've spent on it. God. A while ago I uninstalled Sims 4 and reinstalled Sims 3 instead. I keep wondering if the next pack will make me want to reinstall Sims 4 again, but... well, not so far. If you're one of the lucky players who's excited for this pack, great! I'm genuinely happy for you and that this pack can bring joy to somebody. But I hope the reasoning for the bad feelings is obvious, and I hope that EA listens to player feedback this time, since they don't seem to be doing very well at it so far. I also hope that people who don't like this pack don't buy it anyway just for the sake of having a new Sims pack, because that teaches EA nothing. Clearly what they prioritize most is money, so don't give it to them if you want them to listen.

This video. The floating by bunk beds. A mood

I was excited when I saw the 3 moon icon, I was so excited, then it turned out to be Star Wars.

I have to say I am really looking forward to this pack the idea of having an R2-D2 droid and exploring a new area maybe even using a light saber it will be really cool.

I was trying to digest this whole idea of the SW being in the Sims since the reveal and I have to say I would've been way more excited and accepting of it if my present game wasn't buggy. I would want them to fix the number of issues we are still facing so everyone can enjoy their game to its full potential (even if it's not that deep) and be open to new experiences such as the SW pack. It's just an awful timing and poor treatment of their community that upsets people that bad including me.

I also love Star Wars, but I don't know if I need it in my Sims game. Hmm. Thanks for the video, Carl! You're one of my all time favorite Sims RU-vidrs.

Well I’m excited, my wife brought me Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order when it came out & for a EA game the graphics & gameplay were amazing minus the bugs of course but I loved it so I’m actually happy to see it being implemented into sims 4. Can’t wait to bring my saber to the Geekcon festivals lol
