I really do want to be positive about it (and hey, I play Sims 4 quite a fair bit mainly for my character stuff... goodness knows it's missing features, BUT that's for the gaming thread!).

Anyway, I want to be positive because of the thread, and I also genuinely have hope for it. Please be good...

I will give extra points if they speak Simlish all the way. ALL THE WAY.

In the spirit of my second-to-last post here: Megan Keith is a university student who has a literal track record of athletic success under her belt. She admitted that she finds 10,000m races so boring as to have never watched one from start to finish. Until recently, the only times she ever brought up the distance was to swear off ever running it. She hasn't even properly worked out how Olympic qualification works. None of this has deterred her from becoming the fourth-fastest British woman ever to run 10,000m.

Behold the six-legged gazelle of Israel

It's real, and it was found on the Wadi Gaza reserve at the head of the Wadi Gaza(the river system that provides water to both Gaza and parts of Southern Israel).

That's a bit weird. Do people look at The Sims and think "there's a rich narrative there."

It worked for Barbie, I suppose you could do a social satire with the Sims as well.

The minecraft movie releases next year (At this point in time: 2024), and in the same year GTA 6 will release (optimistic prediction).
If they release on the same day there could be a new EternalHorizons/Barbenheimer phenomenon
