EA just took a massive shit on Sims Lore.

Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - or THIS IS WHY I CAN’T PLAY THE SIMS 4.

I have never liked the Sims 4. I’ll admit it. Lack of gameplay, Fisher Price/Looney Tunes graphics notwithstanding, the community itself willing to abase themselves in hopes of turning the devs in their direction. The EA devs themselves throwing shade at the Sims 3 community who steadfastly refuse to play that shitty excuse for a game (Sims 4) they produced and then proceed to drag out and prolong that shit as if they had ten $5.00 boxes of Extra Spicy Bean Burritos at Taco Bell. Enough with the Glitterturd already. Enough with catering to ADHD children who with the rating on the game shouldn’t even be playing the Sims anyways.

One of the things that struck me was how faithfully outside of Don Lothario’s time travels, that the former dev team stuck to canon continuity in The Sims, Sims 2 and the prequel to all of them, Sims 3. Sims got older when they were supposed to. We knew that Sims 3 was the progenitor of the series because the well-known Goths were children; Bella was a Bachelor and Morty was that awkward little kid.

But then along came Sims 4 which like any little change-child should have been aborted in utero but somehow managed to worm its way out to inflict it’s nauseating stench upon the community.

…and sims lore tossed itself upon the pyre to die a painful death for it was supposedly an alternate universe, a universe where age doesn’t matter, continuity doesn’t matter and surely, quality gameplay sure as fuck doesn’t matter worth sour owl shit either.

This would be Sims 3 to Sims 4 continuity:

Sims 3

Bella Goth - child

Mortimer Goth - child

Nancy Landgraab - adult

Geoffrey Landgraab-adult

Malcolm Landgraab-child

Sims 4

Bella Goth - adult

Mortimer Goth - adult

Nancy Landgraab - adult

Geoffrey Landgraab-adult

Malcolm Landgraab-young adult

oh…come on…man. Just try a fuckin’ little!

If the Goths were adults. Nancy and Geoffrey would both be elders, not the same age as Mortimer and Bella. This is why I can’t be bothered with the Sims 4.

At least if they were going to alter the timeline and make an AU, there is no way that Chester and Queenie Landgraab could have had Nancy any later than he did since he died of old age and Nancy was born when Chester was middle aged and going into old age. Therefore since Nancy was a older adult in Sims 3 there is no way that she would STILL BE an adult in Sims 4 when Malcolm, Mortimer and Bella were ALL CHILDREN in SIMS 3 and we’re expected to believe Bella and Mortimer and Malcolm’s PARENTS are ALL THE SAME FUCKING AGE?!!!! And evidently Malcolm is supposed to be a young adult while his compatriots are OLDER THAN HE IS????

LIKE…WTF MAN! It’s CONTINUITY OF TIME!!!

Well fuck you too, EA. AND YOUR SIMS 4 TOO!

If continuity went the way it was supposed to: Bella, Mortimer and Malcolm would be fully adults, Nancy and Geoffrey would be elders along with grumpy ol’ bag Agnes.

I don’t know how many Sims from Sims 3 came over to Sims 4 but I’m sure others will tell me.

Continuity has its basis in logical progression and even alternate universes have to follow those rules it's not a "make shit up as you go along with no logical basis" for such a situation as putting two wildly disparate in ages sims together in the same fucking high school.

There are only two ways a situation like this occurs: 1) Either Chester and Queenie are NOT the parents of Nancy Landgraab and 2) Nancy and Geoffrey are imposters. Because unless you chamge the timeline completely as well as their progenitors, the following makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Update: Are they fucking kidding me? #EADevs just took a massive shit on #SimsLore and #Continuity…and died.
