I miss the days of story-telling (either legacies, or long stories, or challenges, whatever) and people participating for fun! It seems like most of those interactions have died and the simblr community has just become a cycle of consumption. Please say this louder!!! I know I’m not active much anymore and it might be hind sight talking but, looking back, less interaction with people really slowly dwindled my desire to play.
I know my thoughts and feelings may seem unrealistic and overly optimistic, but I hope we can all come together again and enjoy our pixel projects.
Just don’t ever feel as though it’s a requirement to enjoy this game, because it isn’t. And if you want to and can support your faves? Do it! Like, reblog, share, donate if you are able. If the prospect of profit is removed, I’m hoping we’ll all support one another again and just have fun with creating, rather than worrying about our bottom line and boosting numbers. and ever since CC became so heavily monetized, we’ve stopped sharing with and encouraging others, and it’s just plain sad. I miss the days of us having fun, sharing our creations + inspo with one another, sharing resources, teaching one another how to create, etc. And there has just been this overwhelming feeling of loneliness and stagnation in the community? I cant quite put my finger on it.
Instead of releasing fun passion projects and interacting with the community at large, they work tirelessly to hit deadlines to meet patron, monetary, and follower goals. Over the years, as paid and early access content have become normalized, I’ve seen so many creators have joined in on the CC making rat race as a way to get some fast cash. I’ve been here since 2015, so I’ve experienced the metamorphosis of this community as both a consumer and creator of content. For me, EA updating their policy in regards to CC + monetization of UGC is a blessing in disguise.
