@Ebonix @TheHenfordHen @FabioSimmer Looking at it the ppl saying that “it doesn’t look good” or “that’s not how ppl wear it.” Are people who don’t have locs or have this preconceived notion that locs should look a “certain way.” They want the locs to look palatable to their ideologies.

Is it too early to say that the success of TS4 is a result of the evolving innovation of the modding and creator community?
This graph kind of explains why EA didn’t want to stick with The Sims 3 and why they don’t want to move on from The Sims 4 🥲. Also they’re acting like MySims was TS1 🤔 The erasure is real.

This is just an observation, but I’m pretty sure that the increase in entitlement we’ve seen from simmers is down to how they were introduced to TS4. I find simmers who’ve been playing the franchise for 20+ years (or at least since TS4 came out in 2015) are least likely to be.
poor turbodriver 😞 the comments on their patreon are so unhinged it’s been like 3 days do y’all not have other hobbies or something???
