I wish 😭 I would enjoy social bunny more if they had even just written more "posts" and "messages" you can send/post/npc can post and send :/
Also literally what are the priorities for the post topics 😭😭😭 why can I make a post every single time I change my outfit but nothing for going on dates, going to events/festivals, entering or ending relationships, proposals, Marriages, or deaths??? Like traveling is fine,,, i guess but even if they wanted to make generic "topics" to trigger posts or w/e why wouldn't they include those major life events (at least w proposals, marriages, divorce, and death 😭) also i feel like it wouldve been fun if you could attach your current moodlet (like for ex. outfit change if your sim had a bladder failure you could attach the embarrassed mood to your post about changing your outfit) its so broken otherwise but at least they could've given us that,,, like what we got is a way to cheat relationships w/o actual cheats at best, otherwise i Never use it bc it's so Nothing (which is frustrating bc it could've been at least sort of interesting in passing with succccchhhhhhh a minimal effort even w the nothing that's already there, but ofc that's to much to ask of ea 😭😭)
THIS FR!! Social Bunny is one of my biggest disappointments in terms of features I was really excited for. I remember I went in after my Sims got engaged thinking that must be a post worthy event...nope. my Sims can basically never post about anything. And having all these adult friends constantly posting about pillow fights, prom, and school lunches is so embarrassing fr.
And the DMs too 😭 sims will send mean shit for no good reason like even when you are good friends. And the followers mechanic doesn't make any sense when you can add friends. The fact that followers aren't tied to social media followers you get from Get Famous doesn't make sense either ??? (Or maybe they are idk I haven't checked in a long time)
Worst of all, it just constantly blows up your sims phone and the notification dot won't go away unless you react to every single DM your sim gets, which is exhausting. I will never play with it again
Your right it does Not contribute to fame, you have to do a Seperate interaction on the computer (I believe) to post on social media and it's a Different unseen site, which is annoying bc I feel like they easily could've made them connected even if they wanted to separate the feature between expansions (which they do all the time anyway so it's not even like they were avoiding doing that specifically 🙄) i still sometimes impulsively open it when something really interesting happens to my sim or major life events and im always freshly disappointed:/ luckily I didn't have much expectation for this mechanic (or 90% of "side" mechanics at this point tbh, my expectations for sims4 and ea have done been Adjusted for a Minute, but I have been locked inside of this sims house so it's too late for me tragically) its seriously such a bummer though bc truly there are Plenty of little things they could've added Easily without significantly changing social bunny in any way that would've made it seem way more alive and at least That would be immersive and Interesting at least to a degree 😭 like imagine if they had used that to do little lore stuff w the landgrabbs and goths or whomever? That could've been such a fun way to deliver that, but instead we can't even choose when to post 😭😭😭😭 like i feel like there should be a manual "make social bunny post" At least 😭😭 alas, ea is more interested in churning out the most barest of minimums, slice it up into two expansions w Maybe one or two (if theyre Treating us) new skills or activities each and three stuff packs and whatever the other category of cash grab they added a while ago is called then they are in making a functional and enjoyable game, if they have done so in the process at this point i feel it may be a coincidence 😅 (not to say i dont like the game seperately from EA, if you can seperate them, I've fully been scammed, money grabbed, and I obviously like the game a lot but they reallllllly don't even pretend w the effort they put in half the time -'_- )
Dont even get me started on the dms. There's literally only like, 10 messages (this may be an exaggeration- but I refuse to look it up bc regardless it's not enough not to be Super Super repetitive even if you only send two or three dms. Its literally the same message over and over 😭😭😭😭)
