    The irony is the problem with Bella was that her skintone was not warm enough and they actually made it cooler. darker yes, but cooler. Bella is meant to be Mediterranean with a warm olive tone, they did not meet this expectation and instead it comes across as ashy (which given their track record with skin tones is very disappointing) ESPECIALLY since they got this feedback of her looking ashy when they revealed the concept art questionable paint over that people were already not vibing with as she was not recognisable as Bella!

      Tbh she's supposed to be around the same age as Mortimer, but there's a few reason why they aren't.
      Gameplay-wise, Bella's had two kids. Mortimer would've aged up before her.
      Lore-wise, I think Bella uses aging aids like Elixirs of Life, Potions of Youth, etc. In some variants she's able to use magic like the seance table.
      And Mortimer is a scientist in some versions. I think at some point an experiment made him age faster. That or he drank the Elixir of Life with negative aspiration.

    I am also annoyed that they did not add likes and dislikes. I also thought that Cassandras black and grey wardrobe was a rebellion against her Mom and her obsession with red. So it seems weird to me that she now suddenly also dresses in red and black.
    I also hoped that they would give the family some more skills and maybe relationships. That was a reach goal but it seems odd to me that the NPC have such random skills that make no sense to me. Bella should have some parenting skill if you have Parenthood and Mortimer is supposed to be a writer but no writing skill if I remember correctly. Makes no sense for someone this established. We are not allowed to start a game playing with the NPCs anyway so why not give them a better fuller backstory with real careers and skills. It would be funny to me if the Goth household had already a maid service and if I started playing with them it would just show up.

    Even if they dont go and revamp all of the townies, i would love a fashion update. 2014 fashion feels so outdated already, specially on townies like the laandgrabs and the calientes, that are supposed to be fashionable. Like the Calientes are supposed to be these pretty, young ladies and i feel it would make sense for their outfits to reflect that in 2022 context. The landgraabs are a rich family and i would love their clothes to reflect that too, like Nancy could definetely feel the kind of woman who shows her wealth through her straight-off-the-runway clothes.

    You know now that you mention it, this whole thing is kind of odd. Cause if you were just going to add some new outfits and skin tones you probably didn't need a year to roll out one family. Appreciate you doing it though. Also I started playing the Sims when the pandemic hit so I had no idea seasons only came out in 2018????? Seems like that should've been one of the first expansion packs.

      That's not how things work in a giant company like EA and Maxis. Think like that: Every small change to be done needs to have a written plan sent, approved, a team and a budget alocated, a time slot alocated, a budget, team and time for QA and a budget and slot for rolling it in (now with the Delivery Express this last one is remedied and that's why it exists). The most insignificat things, if it's not a Level 0 issue, take something like 6 months.
      And the thing with Seasons is that, after Get to Work and Get Together (6 months cycle) were heavily criticized for being pretty bad content-wise, they started a 9 to 10 month cycle. City Living(2016), Cats and Dogs(2017) and Seasons(2018) were the only Expansions released in their year.

    Personally I've been with the TS4 Goth Family since before ghosts or pools were even in the game. It's been about 8 years at this point. I'm ready for something new and I actually like their take on Bella in a lotta aspects. I don't think I've ever seen a realistic take on her like this. She might not wear the dress she had on when Cassandra was still a child, but she's definitely got it locked up somewhere safe. Body wise, I know my own mom had reduction a while after having 2 kids. Bella to me has always felt like a natural beauty rather than someone who'd get a lotta work done. I think that fits Nancy Landgraab way more.
    Tbh I think Mortimer got the worst outfit. The old one made him look like he lives in a cold haunted mansion. Very formal, but kinda comfy. But now he looks real plain. He definitely stands out, but he looks like he part of Mobwives and his winterwear makes me think "oh he's definitely gonna murder his wife".
    The old family are still in the game. The Gallery especially wouldn't let them disappear. It's a bit of a pill to swallow knowing that brand new player now may be unfamiliar with the Bella we've basically grown up on, but it's ok. Things change, new ideas are thrown in. It'd be impossible for them to please everyone.

    I LOVE that they're updating townies! Although I'm a little annoyed about the timing since I just caved and updated the Goths for myself literally last week. As far as the not-bump-mapped table, is it likely done that way on purpose to reduce the polygon count? I learned from lilsimsie videos that part of the reason some of the EA-made houses are so terrible is because they test them to run on minimum-spec computers, so I would think the new table has a simplified mesh for the same reason?
    I'm also intrigued by this idea that they've somehow managed to do Alexander dirtier than they did before. Old Alexander looked ABSURD as an adult, and I wouldn't have thought they could make that worse. Half of me wants to go age him up and see, the other half wonders if I would rather not know.
