A few weeks ago, The Sims Team announced it had hired a handful of talented custom content creators to design some new game content in honour of The Sims’ 21st birthday! Today, that update went live with a total of 21 new items in the game, ranging from CAS to Build/Buy to new cooking recipes! Each item was created by a member of the community, which makes this update special.

…………that’s it?
They took some CC that these creators had already made (Lumia’s crows feet are absolutely old content) or were probably going to make on their own eventually (Icemunmun) and packaged it as bonus content?
I’d say it’s as bad as the hot tub, but honestly, at least the hot tub is memorable. This is just….. bland.
guess expecting anything better would be naive, my friend, last update people felt enthusiasm was when they added toddlers… not like we could expect some babies update so they won’t be just items or preteens…. it would be too much effort from them even tho they gains so much cash from packs they actually could finally do something bigger to this game
Considering the game is old now there is no way they’ll be adding pre teens. That means revamping tons of animations to ensure there is no clipping and stretching. It’s one thing if a mod does that it’s quite another for official content. There’s not much that a pre teen would do that can’t be pushed onto kids or teens especially since there’s the height factor.
It appears that creators could submit what they wanted so isn’t that more of a criticism for the creator then? Not much of an issue to me since it’s not paid content. Many people in the community have asked the team to hire or collab with custom creators and they have. It’s a good thing for those who want official content that appeals to them more than what maxis puts out and for those who don’t really like using custom content or mods in their game for whatever personal reasons. Honestly don’t know what some people were expecting since it said custom creators not modders. Plus it’s free content not paid. Personally I’m more likely to use those objects than the hot tub. And if I’m looking at the right source, the 10th anniversary they got one digital item (a bookcase?). It just doesn’t seem like anniversaries/milestones was ever that big of a deal game wise. If cars dropped people would complain even though they were used in past games like sims 2 and a lot more in sims 3. Or updated babies for players who don’t enjoy that sort of gameplay. Last thing this game needs is for them to early release anything big only for it to flop like part of the skin update because of pressure and frustrations.
I wasn’t expecting the world, I just wasn’t expecting the CC included to be so boring.
I mean, those pants are just a skinny version of the Discover University jeans
Happy 21st anniversary, here’s a frankenmesh
Need more teen clothing and elder clothing. They legit just forgot about those life states.
I’m really confused. This update happened on the 26th of February right? If so, neither me or my best friend got the update. Is there any reason as to why? Of have I just been reading this all very wrong and the update hasn’t happened yet ahaha
