The second round of voting will be happening in the near future but what do you think about the results of the round one vote? Is it what you expected?
Let us know what you think below in the comments!
I seriously don’t understand how knitting is on first place.
I get that people don’t want supernatural gameplay that’s fine but knitting? I just don’t see the appeal of watschend sims knit. And I like knitting. Currently I’m doing while playing the Sims when it gets a little slow…
*watching
No idea how watschend came to be instead
Y’all are really big mad that a lot of people like playing Sims as a realistic life simulator.
Anyway, I didn’t vote, but I think arts & crafts sounds like a lot of fun, as does knitting. I’ve never been into ghosts or spooky stuff, so this is way more my jam. Only thing is whether or not they’ll give us content worth the price…
Hi, It was not my first choice (I had voted for the second topic) but that’s fine. I just want to say one thing: if this is the result guys … We voted for it !!! To all of you who work to entertain us, great job guys. Grazie!! Thanks
TERRIBLY TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED.
“Knitting”? Is this a joke? Out of ALL the choices we had, THIS is what was chosen? I can’t believe this is real.
We could’ve had so, SO much better: a new CAREER to explore, something that’s actually fun to do. I can’t believe everything we just missed, all in favor of watching your sim perform a dull activity no one will care about after the release. But it’s okay because we’ll get some new socks right!!!?! Wow we’re gonna have the time of our lives……………
Anyway, these results completely sapped my enthusiasm for this pack… I don’t really care what happens to it from now on…
Yep
Happy Haunts is all i care about haha
cooooool, all ghost hunt youtuber should go knitting, it is more practical than hunting for ghost.
And so much more interesting! *pause for sarcasm*
The people who voted for this can’t be serious
Boooooring!
This was my last choice!
Yesssssssss!!!!!!
Science is also realistic….and entertaining….and and I want my telescope…
I wanted the happy haunting one
1) Give opportunity to vote for something that never was explored in any TS games
2) Voting for something that was done before and could be as well part of the expansion
3) Complain about EA being greed
4) Repeat
Kinda bummed. I thought for sure Happy Haunts would be the winner for sure. Possibility of new careers (agent of death, ghostbuster, psychic) was a shoe-in I thought.
No joke. Same as me.
Yeah me too I really think Happy Haunts would win since it offered more for players
I am with you. Disappointed.
Agreed. I wanted the ghostbuster career. Knitting?????? C’mon son.
You realise it would only have been one career though? I mean, Grim Reaper would have been fun, once, but who wants freaking ghosts to deal with? They are the most annoying thing in the Sims, even toddlers and babies are less of a bother!
I feel like that was of the point of the ghost hunting career, you’d be getting rid of them, maybe even have autonomous squads runnin’ around wiping them out (though that’s just being hopeful.)
So instead of one new career you voted for no new career.
And you hate ghosts, so instead of ghost hunters you voted for let the ghosts roam free?
Your logic is flawless, Carina.
Yay! I’m so excited Arts & Crafts won! Please let this be a sellable hobby, creating products to sell via Arts & Crafts would be awesome!
Heck yeah content for elders!!!!! I’m gonna knit my grandkids so many sweaters you’d best BELIEVE!
Painting. Writing. Working out. Programming. Woodworking. Fishing. Gardening. Spending time with family. Literally anything you can do with young adults and adults. The elders have stuff to do. And now we lost stuff packs like Science & Technology or Happy Haunts for freaking knitting
It’s an Arts and Crafts pack! Not an elders pack. Yeah, it’s got knitting, but lots of people knit, in all age groups and social cliques. Most of the people I know who knit are 20-something uni student with ADHD and they make hufflepuff scarfs and other geeky things, or straight-up spiderweb shawls cos they’re goth af. I HATE how so many people just saw “knitting” and went “Oh yay an elders pack, I’m going to vote for that.” No dudes! It’s Arts and Crafts! I don’t mind getting this instead of Happy Haunts but if this artsy-creative pack gets turned into an elders pack because of you people I’m gonna be PISSED!
Noooo… Happy Haunts! New careers! Knitting over ghost hunting? ☹
I know how you feel was hoping for ghost hunting and maybe even summoning a demon lol
I’m glad this won. Not everyone likes to play with unrealistic stuff like grim reapers and vampires. Some of us like normal things, and tbh that’s been very scarce as of lately. This year added mermaids, magic spell-casting people, and robots. Arts and crafts should be very enjoyable to those of us who want to play normally and give our sims nice hobbies. And yes, a lot of us want stuff that appeals to elders, especially since they have NOTHING unique to them right now. Just let them have one pack for Pete’s sake.
Science & Technology. That’s all I have to say. And if you can’t find anything for your elders to do, that’s your problem. My elders are doing just fine and without knitting
“Oh my elders have nothing to do! They need knitting! It is unique to them!”
Uh, hell no. Knitting is for whoever wants to knit. Just like painting or writing. Your elders can do those hobbies or literally any of the other habbies in the game but you wanna claim there’s nothing for them to do? You wanna claim knitting is for elders and not for anyone else? Way to go and offender elders and younger age groups alike.
Also grow up and deal with the supernatural stuff. Sims has been ‘unrealistic’ since day one and if you’re annoyed to see mermaids and robots then you clearly know nothing about this game series.
How are robots unrealistic? Have you seen the current technology? Robots are not super popular amongst the general public, but to those who love robotics our current technology is very close to what is in the sims.
im happy, i hate supernatural stuff in sims 🙂
THEN GO PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME! Sims has always been supernatural so get wrecked you newborn dunce!
Yes!! So pleased to see my favourites at the top of the list 🙂
I am really happy the arts and crafts pack won. I wasn’t expecting it honestly, but it was what I voted for! Haunts seems very cool as well but I am sure there will be other chances for more super natural stuff. It is kind of pissing me off that so many people are calling it the ‘elderly people’ pack and making fun of it. Calm down people. It’s the Sims. And you are being a bunch of babies. I am very excited and I am not quite 30 yet lol. Guess I just like crafting 😀
They people I most see calling it an elders pack are the people who voted for it. I blame lilsimsie. She saw knitting and started calling it an elders pack and then all her fans ran off to vote for knitting on those terms. Even now I see people going ‘oh yay content for my elders.’ This is an arts and crafts pack y’all. If they voted for this and then get disappointed when it turns out exactly as advertised (as arts and crafts, not as elders) then we are never gonna hear the end of it.
I am sure that you’ll get bored of the pack in one or two weeks. It is like Laundry Day came back for round two. Science & Technology would have been way better. Still realistic, way more interesting than freaking knitting, and it would pair well with Get To Work and Discover University
I like crafting too and we already have ghosts, aliens, the grim reaper, mermaids and wizards this is another skill like cooking that can be sold etc. I am happy with the results
Did I vote for knitting? No, but obviously people want it. If you’re upset, request what you wanted as a future pack or something. Some of these people commenting are so rude, and I’m sorry you’re upset, but these are the results. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Simple.
Seriously, knitting? I get arts and crafts but that seems like a base game thing. Rather add something like a hotel and resort pack.
I prefer that of the ghosts is more hemocionante than to manufacture objects, let’s be cinceros how many times we use the workshop tables or floral arrangements or the cool clay that a pack is only based on that.
I think it gives our elders something realistic to do, plus knitting and crochet are something a ton of people do (myself included) a lot of proper play the game for realism ♀️
I want to be a grim reaper. I like the arts too. Actually can we get all of the packs eventually please?
Aw man I really wanted the occult and ghostbuster stuff 🙁
I hope there’s another chance for us to get happy haunts
Hi i like the results i love arts n crafts
I wonder what would happy haunts be/look like
Let’s be honest the so called voting is BS NO ONE WANTS KNITTING. But that’s what the creators wanted to add like laundry. And like laundry it will be ignored by all but 10% of the players
I was hoping more pet and kid stuff. Like a pet walker, more things for the pets to do and the toddlers have more stuff then kids, so it would be nice if kids could get jungle gyms, slide sets and ball pits like the toddlers can
I would prefer for Self-Care to be #1.
This doesn’t mean they won’t do happy haunts in the future guys… There’s like 20 stuff packs already. I’m sure we’re due for many more come 2020.
It would strike me odd if they trashed all these other plans that were clearly thought out to a degree. I mean come on, grim reaper career? That sounds like a good time!
oh fuck i wanted happy haunts, it would be a perfect pack to the game. would be chance to get the signals to the yoke along with a clairvoyant career i’m devasted
I was really looking forward to self care or the Science & Technology packs feel like it was a lot the sims team could’ve added with those in just about every aspect of your sims life.
I dont think that knitting was the best option here. Out of all the options, knitting…? Really?? If you wanted realism, I think the self care, fun tech, and science/tech packs are much more realistic. How often do you find someone that can knit, embroider, or fabricate glass? More and more people these days are interested in technology and a healthy lifestyle. Honestly, I would’ve preferred any pack but the arts and crafts one. Sure, it sounds cool and everything but honestly it’s not something I’d pay $10 to do.
Whatever pack they add can there just please be the vegan trait and better vegan food along with the smoothies thats literally all I want
Me too! I could finally make my true simself 🙂
WHO VOTED FOR ARTS AND CRAFTS
Those are…frankly…pants. I thought surely all us simmers get frustrated by the same stuff…but…never have I thought… oooh I WISH my sim could knit…I mean…really?!
I really wanted Happy Haunts.
Do I want knitting? No. Do I understand why it was the top choice? Partly…is it still a bit ageist, considering most people chose it to have an activity for Elders to do? Definitely. Will I buy the pack once it comes out and have one of my Sims master knitting? Probably…depending on what you can knit at each level, and if the items are wearable.
Very happy with arts n crafts! Can’t wait to see what my Sims can create knitting, as I crochet!! (That would be cool to add too!!).
It’s a stuff pack… I think arts and crafts is perfect for that. Something like the happy haunts would be better for a game or expansion pack because then we won’t be disappointed with all the things they would’ve/should’ve added in a stuff pack theme. Mind you that stuff packs do not have a lot of content or game play–it only adds a little something extra to do in the game.
So excited for Arts and crafts!!!! Sculpting was my #1, but happy to see so many people love knitting! It’s definitely made a comeback.
You sure this vote is right cuz I’m reading the comments and most people(including myself) don’t Agree with the results
Revote???
I kind expected this kind of results! It was either arts and craft or happy haunts that were 1 and 2. There were a lot of simmers wanting self care pack too. So not surprising.
Well this is going to suck
Darn I really wanted either Self-Care or Happy Haunts, I want to either have my sim be a paranormal investigator or wear a fitness watch. Here’s a question I wanna ask why can we have all the items listed in each of these themes as one stuff pack and call it the “Sims Community Stuff Pack” or something that way everyone gets what they want?
Because that’s just unreasonable to ask of them to do, the amount of work and effort and *testing* to do that is a lot and they won’t get the increased deadline they’ll need to do it, since EA :’) HOPEFULLY these are all packs coming in the next couple years one way or another, but we will not be seeing it the way you suggest. Plus, it’s just plain messy.
really thought happy haunts had this in the bag with the psychic & tarot thing… knitting isn’t even the best option for the arts and crafts. it’s just going to unlock some ugly CAS exclusive sweaters or something bluh
Well, if we get playable sheep in a farming expansion pack, I guess there will be a use for the wool?
yay, i can save my wallet this time!
Boo, knitting? Edible art sounds way more interesting.
