The New World Is Adorbs And I Truly Love How It Looks, But I Can't Lie And Be Fake Here...there Is Nothing

the new world is adorbs and i truly love how it looks, but i can't lie and be fake here...there is nothing to do. for some reason only kids can use the marbles (just like with the voidcritter games) which makes no sense to me as most of us are obviously adults playing games..so why can't our grown sims have fun, too? the buildings are great, but they're just to look at, as is most of what's in this world. not by any means saying i dislike the world and i haven't played enough to say too much about the gameplay (just shy of maybe 7 full hours in). but i have played enough to say that i'm just tired of doing the same things over and over in worlds, taking lots of photos of scenery because there's not much else to actually do, buying things, eating food at a stall. it's the same stuff over and over.

i'd like to surf, swim in any body of water, sit with my sim on a rollercoaster, go watch a rodeo, sit with my sim in a movie theatre after they've paid for their ticket to a new movie premiere, take my sim to uni and sit in on a lecture and choose how they interact with the class and their professor, go through a tunnel of love and choose whether my sims share their first kiss or sit awkwardly and stiffly side by side, explore a cave that's not a rabbit hole and meet fae creatures... pretty stuff is great, i love it, but i still wish to simulate a life amongst those pretty things, and the tools to do that mean more to me than how pretty a few deco buildings are.

i don't expect many people to agree with me on this; i have watched this game slowly become more and more about decorating and building and dress up and less and less about gameplay over the years and these are just my personal opinions. nothing more, nothing less. the sims has always been about wielding our imaginations, but when i have to apply the art of make believe to an entire life simulation game, when i have to download tons of mods to enrich my gameplay and constantly risk those mods breaking for updates to game packs that still lack the gameplay i desire, i see an issue. and before anyone says, "then don't buy the pack," i didn't. :)

I decorated a infant/toddler boutique for my Discord story and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's meant to be an upscale boutique with a rustic/shabby chic vibe.
