Collapsed for length!

The Sims is my favorite series of games, but the franchise is in shambles right now.

The Sims 4, which is the current main PC/console game, is allegedly winding down. There is supposedly not going to be any new substantial content released, just cosmetic items. (New furniture and clothes, but no new gameplay.)

Speaking of cosmetic items, they've added a marketplace to the game, and it's quite controversial. Players who create custom content for the game can put their content on the marketplace, but it's pricey. The quality is also not great. Most players are not happy.

They shut down one of the mobile games.

Another mobile game that was in development has allegedly been canceled.

The next big thing was referred to as Project Rene. That is still in development, but allegedly they have shifted their focus on that. It was supposed to be a mobile game that could also be played on PC, multiplayer, but with single player aspects too. Apparently, they've cut the single player aspects, and it will now be focused on mobile and multiplayer only. The focus for this title keeps shifting.

There's maybe going to be a newer version of Sims 4 coming out? It might continue to use some of the DLC that you bought? But maybe not??

And EA has been bought out.

There are so many rumors swirling around, and it's hard to know what's true and what's not. But nothing that has happened to the series lately is good, and none of the rumors are either. It's just depressing. I love this series so much, I've loved it for so many years, but it feels like it's going down the drain. My hopes for a robust new base game seem to be fading away to nothing.

But, at least I still have the first four games. Whatever slop they may release in the future, these games are still enjoyable. I'm just disappointed that there isn't something great on the horizon.

I hate how hostile some people get when there are requests to be given the option to disable features in video games. Recent example: I saw someone ask to turn off the hotel in Animal Crossing and people shit all over them - "It's a free update, why are you complaining, just get over it, each visitor is only there for one day so it's not a big deal, why did you decorate a room in the first place" blah blah blah.

No one is asking for the hotel to be deleted from existence in everyone's game. They're just asking for an option to close the hotel rooms so that there aren't random villagers hanging around the island every day. I think that's a 100% reasonable request, but some people act like the person making the request came into their home and shat on their bed.

I personally actually love having these randos show up, I think it's a lot of fun and I enjoy seeing who turns up and chatting with them, but it would not in any way negatively impact my game if other people had the option to go to Isabelle and ask to close the hotel rooms down.

Harry Potter was always low effort trash. I've never understood why so many people were suckered into thinking it wasn't.

Potter was such a huge part of my life. I have mostly given it up, other than the occasional fanfic read. I just wish there was something else, another fictional world that would come to mean that much to me. Potter got me through a miserable childhood. I haven't found anything else to fill the void.

What is everyone doing this weekend?

Tomorrow I will flying to Denver for a four day weekend (only two full days there). It is kind of a low key vacation to see if we will enjoy a longer one there. The main thing I'm excited for is Meow Wolf.

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that long comment secrets can be difficult to make with a good end result. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'm trying something new with the comment secret thread and extending the deadline to comment until Monday's post goes up. I'll monitor this thread until then, and hope the extra day will be more helpful for everyone.

Cheers,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

It'll be monitored until Monday's FS post goes up. You can leave your comment secrets here:

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
