“Mooca” is The Alleged Name of New The Sims Virtual Currency

Absolutely not. They already have a hard time releasing content without issue or anything substantial. Asking players to funnel money to them after a decade will probably kill the franchise. Pay for what?

The original pricing model was fine. I’d rather they raise prices to create a better product (like every other company) than be nickle and dimed. Expansions have been $40 for almost 20 years. Realistically, $40 then can’t get what $40 uses to. $45-50 would be fine with me (though others may not agree). Currently, $40 is getting use poorly made slop.

At this point, with the buy out, it’s too late.

Ah yes, bring back the main reason I didn’t bother with Sims 3 for a long time and literally didn’t buy any DLC for it until five years after the game stopped getting expansions. Great plan. /s

I am not against an online store such as the Sims 2 and Sims 3 had (yes even Sims 2 had an online store for those who don’t know).
You are free to buy whatever you want and in a way, KITs are exactly what store sets were: a small set of certain items or a world for money instead of a whole new pack.
So it wouldn’t be anything new.

A battlepass however is a big hard no from me.

HELL NO! I DON’T WANT NO MICRO TRANSACTIONS IN MY SIMS GAME!

All i have to say is …..
No. Effin. Way!

Oh boy howdy, gee willikers Batman. I sure do love the direction of a franchise I once loved as a kid getting butchered all the more. Man Paralives better come out in May we need an alternative more than ever.

I’m a life long sims player and have probably dropped a total of 10k into these games over my life. I can tell you right now with complete certainty that if they do this, they’ll never get my money again. This is how you destroy a money making game. Awful concept. Please don’t do this to this series.

So I personally wouldn’t do a monthly subscription because I simply can’t afford it.

I don’t inherently think it’s a bad idea though. Especially for people who have more disposable income OR only want to play with a particular DLC for a month or two. It would also depend on how much money the subscription service actually is.

The microtransactions are not something I would be interested in either. Although I wouldn’t mind them adding it to the game because you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.

Voted no on all counts. I’ll just continue using the dlc unlocker /shrug

The fact there are yeses in that poll is a shame

Feels as if EA is determined to destroy the soul of this game as quickly as possible. The sims appeals because it was a cosy sandbox. Constantly hitting paywalls during gameplay will make it terrible to play. Paralives is looking better and better.

Project X is essentially TS4 with a different game engine so 100% they intend to repurpose and recycle assets from TS4 into project X to cut costs. rehashing the game just to re-monopolize it to the same audience via subscription and or more microtransactions is disgusting and outright disrespectful.

I was part of a “playtest” that was a focus group for this last year. They were calling it ‘moolah’ then and asking for participants to rate image assets. They insisted it was still conceptual but it’s disappointing to see they’re moving forward with this.

No. Just. No.

the currency itself is quite mocking. we are the paying cattle I guess

What if it’s just currency for Project Rene?
