Make writing a novel more worthwhile?
Kitiara:
I agree wholeheartedly. There was more they could have done, and so much they shouldn't have. It comes down to the fact that they (maybe) could have done better with more time. There were possibilities unexplored, and directions taken that should not have been. Oh, well. It's a game. I try to enjoy what is, and though I wish what could have been was, I do not dwell. Maxis will repair what they want, and ignore what they want. Repeated requests may have Some influence, but very little. I will live with it (with a few complaints) and go on with my life. The Sims are fun. They are not meant to be more than that. I wish there were more branching operations, but am willing to accept that the game is more than buggy enough and more options would have only made it more so. I want what I want, but will accept what I have.

Well, you know, like it says in my sig....

And let us not forget the money angle. Developing a game in the conept mentioned would take time, quality programming, quality employees, quality research, and quality customer support. All of which are things that cut into profit. Somehow I don't think that the EAGames corporation was willing to invest time and money into the game, since the allmighty dollar was at the forefront of their minds. Hence the rushing out of EP's at a speed that can only promise one thing: bugs.

...They would actually seem much wealthier if I ever got around to improving their houses, since they're mostly still living in the crappy starting houses that I threw togethor...
Oh dear, I spend far too much time fiddling with the houses and hardly any time playing. Every time I get a few hundred dollars, the house gets a new bit added on. My sims mostly live in interestingly shaped houses with lousy furniture and no wallpaper or carpet. :D

Oh, don't remind me - I spent the whole of Monday night building and rebuilding the house of one of my families. When I was almost finished, I looked at it again, and suddenly realised it was big enough for 6 or 7 people to live in comfortably - and that family is a couple who probably won't be having kids :-[. I thought "Okay, I've completely wasted my evening, here...".
I think I've decided I'm going to move that couple out into a house that's more appropriate for 2 people, and use that rebuilt house for one of my huge families.
