      I find that to be absolutely fucking insane and incredibly abusive since this is THE SIMS tho.. like this isn’t The Voice or America’s Got Talent.. it’s THE FUCKING SIMS. Why are y’all crying over The Sims?? It’s literally a competitive life sim what is there to cry about it’s about as sad as losing a game of Monopoly. Like it should just be “oh no I got eliminated good game”. I think that definitely shows EA is abusive asf in their practices bc there is NO reason anybody should be crying during a Sims 4 game show unless they were god damn Jerma doing The Sims in real life.

      ​ @NYCTOSEE I kind of wonder if these people were struggling with all of the forced positivity. Like normally these socially awkward, Tumblr people would be able to be like, "Lol has anyone experienced this bug? EA is so useless amiright?" to break some tension, but obviously weren't allowed to. So instead, these people would have to be walking on eggshells around each other, EA, and the show production, because remember, they're Tumblr people who don't want to be controversial to their bland audiences. Between that and the stress of being behind a camera they AREN'T controlling, trying to collaborate with people who are similarly walled off towards them, and time management issues I'm actually not surprised that they were crying so much.

      @@stonedspider hey, if the spaghetti works then sometimes that’s the best you can get lol. Plus, some languages naturally lend themselves to being more spaghetti than others. I think the difference between the two is the foundation of the sims 3 was solid enough that you could add a decent amount of new features. But the sims 4 just straight up doesn’t allow that kind of addition - for example, the apartment expansion is by far one of the most broken packs because the game wasn’t built to support that kind of functionality, probably because the sims 4 didn’t even start off as a single player game.

      He did a whole let's play w/ the sims 2 and even though he's done more sims 4 videos. I think for some reason the sims team don't like supporting people who play the older games to such an extent like he did. IIRC the sims team said if he wanted to get free packs, stop playing the sims 2 and he was like lol no and they don't really support him. Same with others like juno birch... but it doesn't really matter at the end cause they can obvi afford to get the new packs if they want but a shame they're not promoting people who've been indirectly supporting the franchise for like a long time

    The idea of a competition show for the sims is genius if done properly. House hunters, room swap, shows like this were big! Why not mirror them? Imagine having the creator network folks as guest judges each episode. Fans of the sims would come on and do different challenges. Like create hiuses on a strict budget and the guest judges would essentially play house hunters with each contestant. They didn’t think it through at all.

    Yay you're back! I want to pretend this show did not happen. This video just unearthed all the buried memories of 2020. My main gripe was why on earth they put these Simmers into roles like "builder", "stylist" and "storyteller"? As a Simmer myself, I do all three of them, maybe a little more on building, but never consider myself just a "builder". I am a Sims player. Period.
    Quite honestly, the contestants are way more knowledgeable than the judges, so all three judges had no authority to judge these people's work. The drama was so manufactured, the challenges are just not exciting and the Sim UA-camrs really look like they are constantly like deer on headlights and could pass out at any point.

    My question is, why does EA feel the need to incessantly promote Sims 4? The first game sold what, 175 million units? Sure, they release new DLC for it all the time, but they also bombard us with marketing ploys to "gently encourage" us to buy new packs - to the point that they have that stupid shopping cart button (presumably) permanently welded into the UI, taunting you for having not bought enough content for this game - and as unothorodox has things like this reality show and EA doing Simmers' makeup is, I personally find the shopping cart button to be EA's biggest, most blatant offense. Regardless, though, I've never heard of this "Spark'd" thing until I clicked on this video, and even if I had, it wouldn't've persuaded me into buying more content for Sims 4 - nor would the makeup thing or anything else EA has pulled. You know what WOULD encourage me to buy (more) content for Sims 4? Fixing the game! And I would include chucking that shopping cart button to the wayside like a frisbee as part of that.

    Those content creators, simmers, influencers* are completely out of touch. Over time, as part of their audience (unfortunately), I’ve realized they’ve grown more arrogant and act like adult children. Despite getting older, some already at an age where you’d expect maturity, they still behave like teenagers. Their shady practices with EA make it clear that all they care about is the money they can squeeze out of the community. If that weren’t the case, why do they blindly applaud everything Electronics Arts does, ignoring the rampant dishonesty of both the company and themselves?
    Whenever a creator fairly points out what’s wrong with The Sims 4 or that mediocre Creator Network program, which is nothing more than bootlicking EA in exchange for relevance and monetization, they immediately jump to defend the company. Creators like Satch and Malcolm are a genuine threat to the mediocrity and lack of decency that defines this group.
    Keep up the excellent work, bootlickers will always get offended. "If the shoe fits, they better lace the b** up, idgaf."

      @@ELMor8443 I disagree, we need to be objective. I was also part of her audience for many years, but Plumbella has significantly toned down the intensity and frequency of her genuine criticisms of EA since joining the Creator Network. Although she made significant contributions to the community in the past, and much was accomplished thanks to her efforts, the reality is that her position and benefits within the program create a perception of conflict of interest, making her content feel less authentic compared to the past. There's a reason she's still part of the program. There's a reason she chose to participate in this show, which took a large portion of the money that should have been invested in content they sell overpriced, better quality control and fixing the game with a proper team. Instead, we get this.

    I actually watched the show at the time it came out (dvr'd it and watched it all at once) with my girls (have five nieces I've infected with The Sims) and at that time our thought was "Is this how they think we play The Sims?" No, that's how simfluencers play, what they do. We felt like they were telling us how we are supposed to play. Or maybe they were trying to uplift simfluencers? The big problem was that they were trying to make a single player game into a group project. Based on how they did it, well we could already do that, download a build from the gallery (player 1), download a sim from the gallery (player 2), and decide on a story and play (player 3, the actual player). My girls and I were unimpressed. We thought it would be like how players made best use of packs or special items or something like that. They didn't even bring up packs or gameplay items or anything, just was basically showcasing the simfluencers.
    Oh and it was on TBS because no one else wanted to run it. I will say that when my mom watches cooking shows and the music from Sims 1 plays, it freaks me out.

Pretty sure they went in on the whole thing knowing it was gonna be a flop, designing it to be one, and delivered a flop as intended so that they could show it as a loss. That way they could make up for lost money with the increasing number of people realizing that Sims 4 is a waste of time and refusing to buy packs. Also clock that this came out a month before Journey to Batuu - it’s like they KNEW that pack was gonna flop, so they needed to have a write off as a backup.

      Makes you wonder why a person with such crippling social anxiety would even choose to become a streamer in the first place. I mean, being a streamer automatically involves interacting with lots of different people. Anxiety also often comes with the fear of embarrassing yourself, and unlike regular videos, you can't edit streams to hide your fuckups. It just seems like a really odd career choice for someone who has anxiety.
      I'm not accusing her of faking it, but it seems suspicious enough imo. I can totally see her exaggerating her anxiety to garner some sympathy from her fans, or just to get attention.

    JUST WOW. That is exactly how I would expect EA to make a TV show competition if they were to make a tv competition. All flashy but nothing really there under the hood. That final challenge is hugely subjective to the judges. How does one judge one from the other. Money. Family Size. What!?! If your going to do a competition have competition games. Like make a rockstar band of sims. You then justify your creations and the story they could have told. Or make a modern mansion. Doing story telling is subjective without some kind of guide like the first team to complete three lifetime rewards. And they can be chosen by a spin of the lifetime reward wheel. So they can get a hard one or an easy one. even more challenging they need to complete one before they can spin the wheel to find out the next and continue with the sim family they have. like that is just from thinking for 5 minutes. Just sad but not surprised by EA

    The fact they just announced three kits and one is with lilsimsie apparently Its just annoying because I’m like just update the game… let my sims eat at a restaurant without chaos happening. Instead now I see a whole bunch of “discount” codes for 5% chileeeee I don’t need that 5% ain’t nothing, it don’t help us or the creator, it feels empty…. We don’t want a BOARD GAME fix the actual game ugh. The board games in the game ain’t even giving….

    I was so angry about EA giving places to already famous and on the payroll Sims influencers that I unfollowed many of those creators. Not because I personally dislike them but because I though it was completely unfair. If your going to do a reality TV show competition with cash prizes, why not offer the oportunity to the consumers? Not the influencers who already recieve the games for free.
