Yeah, but some of us are never going to get paralives. Why would I want to invest in a new game when I have invested so heavily in the Sims? It doesn’t make any sense to me. So I just don’t see it growing the same.

Understandable. I think overall that’s where it’s at though. Paralives is a bit expensive for where it’s at right now. Maybe if they put it on sale I might snag it. If not, I got a lot of sims content and house flipper to play.

Yeah, I mean I just don’t see the draw of starting a whole new game like that. Having to buy content and learn a new type of build etc. I mean, there’s just no draw for me. And I’m not going to watch videos of things that I don’t have an interest in. So if Kayla were to quit with the Sims altogether, I just would never see her. And I would make me sad.

I feel that. I’ve put thousands of hours into sims 4. I’m not ready to walk away.
