The mods situation is worse when you learn more about it. Turbodriver told people ahead of the patch's release that they'd be on vacation. People were warned that they wouldn't get the updates for a little while, they were notified so far in advance that they could choose not to update their games or get the pack, so they could still play with their mods. It's been less than a week since the patch dropped. The mod updates are only "late" by a few days, and people were notified this would be the case at the time.

Even if Turbodriver was at home, my guess is the patch has ben extensive enough it will take a few days to sort through and playtest an extensive mod like WW.

I can't even play my game right now, but know that this is appreciated. Because this is what I would have been looking for. A shame that they didn't see it bc they chose to be petty instead of resourceful.

[@anodyne4670]

In other games' modding scene, if the mod is not up to date, people would just try to find their own fix. It's such a common practice in other places that seeing this happening here is wild to me. More than a few of my Skyrim mods were being updated and keep being updated by someone who isn't the original creators; many of which only took up mod development solely because the mod they want to use was abandoned by the original creators. Even someone as stupid as me, dabble in a few very basic modding for personal use because I couldn't find the mod I want. And to call myself a modder would've an insult to people who actually know what they're doing. It's just an entirely different attitude from the community. Other mod scenes feel like a community sharing and helping each other; while the Sims scene treat it more of a consumer-business relationship, so God forbids Karen didn't get her coffee in a timely manner.

[@rdefacto813]

​@@anodyne4670 ​True, unfortunately. It's almost as if people in the Sims community were treating each other in the same toxic and entitled way that EA treats them. While no videogame community can completely avoid the occasional modders dramas, imagining modders getting doxxed for not doing an update is actually terrifying. I wouldn't work anymore if I was getting seriously threatened by people for something so petty about my work. It feels like genuine hatred. People need to remember this is a GAMING community, a place where we're supposed to commune and share our love for a game. Perhaps some people are getting this bitter because they are no longer getting any fun in the Sims and are just too frustrated to tolerate any inconvenience - saying that as a joke, but it might actually be true considering what mod this whole drama was about.

[@rdefacto813]

​@@kathear15 This. I'm nowhere close to Turbodriver when it comes to making mods, but I've participated in some big mods on other games, and in comparison it really took me an hour or so to troubleshoot and find a fix to the main problem (I'm not saying that anyone who doesn't fix it themselves is dumb, since it obviously requires some tools and being used to messing a bit with your game) But I found people that were there taking their entire summer nights trashtalking somebody for not working fast enough, while they could instead use their time to help themselves and others with something that is really not that hard to fix. People should learn to solve their problem by themselves, or be patient and at least respectful with people that are here to help them.

Honestly he's a saint for his intention to update this week. If it were me, I'd never release another update to the mod again as a response to the doxxing. That kind of thing should NOT be normalized in the sims community or tolerated.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

I wouldn’t have blamed him for deleting the whole mod and bouncing from the Sims community.

[@Kasserole1]

⁠@@salientspoonI can’t believe somebody revealed another persons home, one of their safe spaces, all because their mod broke!😡😡😡. Who needs it so much that they track down a person and reveal it to the internet. I hope the person that did this has some sort of legal action taken against them.

[@thechelseakiara]

I’m Black and was soooo excited that sims added Black hairstyles. My husband and I both have locs. My hubby in particular always get that style and i love that they put it in the game. Sims folks are weird because this is the same hairstyle in madden. Actually EA is being lazy because they have ton of male hairstyles they could bring from madden to sims 4!

Also, this video has reinstated my fear of ever showing myself on camera. I've done just a handful of let's plays, but I do mine more in a narrated story form because I am terrified of being on camera. I'm an older lady, and instead of feeling confident and playing on that like "Grandma plays the sims" or something (LOL), I hear what you say they say about you, a cute, funny guy with tons of great personality, and like I said, there's just no way. They'd eat me alive. It's so sad.

I hate the sims community too. They complain about how trash the games are and keep handing their money to EA.

[@joshua-2794]

Exactly, i don't understand it at all

[@salientspoon]

Yep. At least when I complain, I've only bought the game itself, along with Get to Work and City Living YEARS ago when I thought the game was good (I was a young teen lol so I didn't know better). I do have all of the packs through other means because I want them for the CAS and build items mainly, but I've paid enough to EA already, in my opinion. It's so hypocritical of people to complain constantly about packs.. and then keep buying them. Like, they clearly don't care about quality, they care about making money. And right now, since they're still making money, they're going to keep releasing half-assed packs.

[@misterspalk]

You are absolutely right on about the psychology of the sims community..I was so excited to start my channel but since coming across so many simmers that literally rip apart your words and misconstrue it to fit their agenda, it’s crazy. I’m finally learning to ignore it, but it was disheartening because I’ve been playing for at least 20 years and felt like I finally could have a community to have fun with….but it is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Krytow]

Your laugh and your commentary is the best part of every video! F*ck these toxic people. They surely have a damn horrible life if all they do is insult people. I‘m staying away from most communities these days, just cannot stand the toxicity. The internet has become such a toxic place in general. People need to get off the internet and sort out their real life issues fr.

[@arcticxabyss]

it's beyond messed up how a person doxxed a modder because the modder wasn't able to update the mod while they (the modder) was on vacation. at least the modder was kind enough to let people know that they were going to be on vacation ahead of time. shame on the person who doxxed the modder!! also, i hope you start feeling better soon satch!!

[@lypreila7913]

I haven't been able to build in the new world since it came out because TOOL needed an update, and I didn't want to build without it. Guess what I didn't do? I *didn't* get on the internet and scream at mod creators to update their mods, I didn't call them names, and I didn't doxx anyone. WILD RIGHT? IT WAS SOOOO DIFFICULT TO BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING!! And it's wild - maybe this is the nostalgia talking but it did not seem this bad before the base game became free.

[@taylorthedog169]

I agree it's sad how toxic the community is. I am not in the sim community, but I play sims. Yes, I agree modders deserve better than harassment and doxing.

[@iscon6894]

I posted a comment on one of Sims 4 posts on Steam about how I didn't like them making everything gender neutral by excluding gender specific terms, and of course a couple people basically replied back to me that I was intolerant of inclusivity. The irony was that that more people backed me up on my opinion and shut down those two 😂 The Sims 4 community makes me lose brain cells sometimes I swear

[@_GhostTea]

I've been playing this game since the Sims 1 and the community has never been as toxic as it is now. Any dissenting opinion, disagreeing with a choice made by the devs, or not immediately bowing down to EA results in a frothing-at-the-mouth pack of chronically online grown children attacking you and wishing the worst on you all over a bunch of pixels. These people have no real life outside of the game and it's sad. They substitute TS4 for the real world including all their social justice grievances (just a reminder, the Sims are not real people who can actually face real harm) and EA encourages them by pandering to their every whim instead of making a quality game. It's exhausting.

[@SuperSimmerGal]

Honestly, I feel like it often goes both ways. It seems like people also getting attacked for daring to mention that they like Sims 4 or disagreeing with a popular opinion about it. And as far as the game being inclusive, it's 2024- it should be!

[@Jkoin1]

I truly believe this part of the community will and has killed many projects that would or could have been developed in life simulation. I truly believe the only way to get a game out in this genre is to ignore the people entirely at this point. The Sims 4 focused too much on appeasing the community that they have completely fallen flat on gameplay and actually fixing the game. The modders are the only ones keeping it alive and tbh it’s unfair how much hate they receive.

[@shro_okee]

Any gaming, movie, show company should have a specific team for reading and interacting with the community, never the creators, directors or creative team/ developers, artists etc. they absolutely should stay away from their 'fans' because of a few rotten bunch that ruin it for everyone, sadly

[@ninazada]

Fully agree with you! I tend to avoid the sims community because to me they seem very "loud" about expressing what's right, and for some reason all creators in the sims are this way, that's why i love your channel, honest and down to earth! Also you're so right about the hairstyle, like, i'm not into the Pride stuff but i don't mind if it's there in CAS, i just ignore it, so why would people complain about a hairstyle? There are so many hairstyles to choose from plus CC

[@lalalanidani]

Finally more than NotMalcom exposing the communiTEA

[@jenbunnydrawsyt8064]

I fully understand. The part that really got me is when you talked about the people who are all about or say they are all about inclusivity and diversity. Because I had these 2 people in my college class that I thought I was friends with. I love the art they make and they make very feminist art and on there social media they are always posting about feminist causes or other movements happening. So they came off as good. Then one day I was sexually harassed and assaulted by a bad person in the class. I go to talk about it and tell the so called feminist friends. They then said to me about a SA that they don't get involved in drama and that I should stop talking about it and that I'm overreacting. I was extremely disappointed and upset. But the rest of the class was not like that to me but the two students who claimed and are always making feminist artwork and statements. Now everytime I see them on social media posting feminism or see them in class presenting there newest art work about feminism and the cause and what women and LGBTQ go through. I just want to yell at the top of my lungs YOUR FAKE. But thank you for opening up about this.

[@Gerrly]

Because Satch is a real one. People hate others who aren’t afraid to be their true selves.

[@mellonlord4616]

Your little psychobabble theory on why they get so mad seems spot on to me. It makes sense why that particular mod needing an update has them particularly upset. I don't even use Wicked Whims though I love Wonderful Whims, I'm like go look at ....other stuff on the internet, but it's their sex life being disrupted in their heads. But I think you're very funny, very cute, and mom hugs to all the LGBT kids out there. ❤

[@brooklynbaby76]

The modder in question actually did a post for their patrons before the first update was even released. They warned that they had a planned time away when the update was scheduled to come out. So it was known that there would be a delay in getting an update to their mod.

[@Shantelle69]

This is very expected behavior from the chronically online snowflakes. Entitled brats.

[@tigerprincess1109]

It does NOT matter if you're a "paying customer" to a modder, there's ZERO excuse to doxx that modder and then make death threats over a modder not updating their mod right away. The dude was on vacation, probably spending time with his loved ones and yet here is the sims community being absolutely horrible. Just because you're paying a modder it doesn't mean the modder has to bend over backwards to people's demands every time they make one. They are people too and have lives, they're allowed to live it. I disagree with you on some things but on others I agree. I'm glad you spoke about this tho. Things needed to be said. Can't wait to see the Lovestruck gameplay!

[@ismichi]

Modders who accept monies become someone providing a service which oft legally means they have to stick to a reliable schedule and/or product quality. Even if all they create is free for everyone with or without financial support to do so. But there's indeed a line, and this instance was a prime example of it. And it was esp illogical for Turbo who already had a PSA they'd be MIA 🤦‍♀

[@BrightWulph]

"Angry virgin disorder" couldn't have worded it better myself Satch! Recently I've found its not just limited to The Sims franchise, it's been becoming more and more prevalent in other fandoms. I used to be pretty active in the Genshin community, and I, an IRL Bisexual, was called a Lesbianphobe because I dared to say I didn't like a characters kit because it didn't gel with my preferred playstyle (think someone with a heavy weapon, where I prefer quick damage over time instead of in big heavy blows.) No matter what I said, even after I pointed out that I was bisexual IRL, it didn't matter. Because I had dared to "insult" an anime character who this person decided what "just like them fr fr!" and they took offence to the fact that some random person on the street didn't like the character, and saw it as a personal attack on themselves. In the end I blocked them and moved on, but to this day almost a year later, I am very much baffled and confused.

[@shro_okee]

Either they are children or they act on bad faith (pretty bad psychological phenomena that exists) so don't worry too much about it, even if their attitude stings

[@BrightWulph]

@@shro_okee Oh I try not to let their attitudes get to me, but it is difficult because they don't know how or when to walk away from an argument. Even more so when they decide to drag their internet friends into the argument to bat for them, and they they try to "shame" me for "bullying a minor." Which not only proves to me that they are minors who should be outside or doing their homework, but also makes me long for the days when minors were afraid to look dumb on the internet so would conceal their ages or would just ignore conversations.
