With yesterday’s announcement of The Sims 4’s biggest collaboration yet – the Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Game Pack, the community was surprised by this collab decision…both for the good and the bad. Surely there are plenty of Star Wars fans who never played The Sims 4 before and were intrigued by pack, but there’s also a core player base of The Sims 4 who didn’t like the decision to fill in the next Game Pack slot with a Star Wars universe…whether they’re also Star Wars fans or not.

It’s not every day that you see two fictional universes come together and merge into one paid DLC content and so Simmers had a lot to say regarding this upcoming pack. We asked folks over on Twitter what they think about this pack collaboration and here are some of the replies we’ve picked out:

Once again. Not surprised. Another disappointing announcement. It’s like one after the other, and at this point it’s even more clear that they don’t listen to their audience. Goodbye The Sims. You had a decent run until 4 decided to ruin your franchise. Guess it’s time to finally move on and stop hoping that The Sims team will actually freaking listen for a change. So frustrating as a dedicated fan since 2000, this is what it’s come to? When people have to literally make a game similar to it because you don’t know what the hell you’re doing anymore.

Oddly positive feedback given the current ratio of likes (29K) and dislikes (62K) under the trailer 😉 Leads me to believe this website is more about the “sims” than its’ “community”

i’ve seen them to the point of whoevers kid killing his dad. Then I was done with SW. Having it in the Sims is an travesty and only there for one thing and that is money. I am deeply, deeply disappointed in Sims.
As a matter of fact I have not played a game in over a year now. I create and that is about it. The game itself is broken and the developers are no better than EA itself when it comes to fighting for what we, the dupes paying for this, want.

I will not be buying this pack. I am officially done with the sims, they gave us nothing that we had requested. Why bother doing a survey if no one will listen to the results. Extremely disappointed. Also, this website should have posted actual reviews on the pack instead of half positive and half negative because I am 100% sure that the negative reviews outweigh the positive by a lot.

By far the worst thing for me, is how it’s just the Disneyland land. All the creativity possible with the Sims, could have made anything at all, and it’s an exact copy of Batu. Down to the clothes being the Cast Member costumes, the food and drinks all being what is available in the parks (except the fizzy tomtom doesn’t make your sim’s mouth numb). Batu is cool in person, but the sheer lack of creativity, the way it feels like a giant ad for Disney, both for the parks and Star Wars in general. They way you can’t even make a sim be a Jedi, it isn’t a supernatural like it should be, you can’t fully interact with the characters it doesn’t actually incorporate into the game outside the vacation world. Which makes it feel even scummier, even less like getting to play sims but Star Wars flavored, and just an ad for Disneyland vacations. And I love Disney, I live less than an hour (minus traffic) from Disneyland, I was even a Cast Member for a long time. But it just feels cheap, like it’s just trying to manipulate me into wanting to go to Disneyland. It shouldn’t have ever been a part of the game, but especially not as poorly done and with so little creativity as this.
