I’m a bit of a connoisseur of games tat, because most of it is yer standard “squinting statuette that collects dust on your matelpiece” and, like, an aged map, and whatever. Thus I quite like it when a game does something different (likeBanishers doing a quillpen, although that isn’t like, a big feature of the game or anything). I still don’t think you should buy special edition tat, mind you, because it very rarelyoffers value for money, but it’s good to see studios putting a small bit of imagination in.
I might be getting out over my skis here, but it feels like game series that aren’t explictly coded as boy-stuff get to have more fun in this regard - like jewellery! Which is surely cheap to make and can be sold at a high markup? Compare the Call Of Dutymerch store, which is mostly apparel and has limited little collectible doodads, with theBioWare one, which has challenge coins and bundles of blankets and plushies, and little Romance Bundles that include a pretend letter from whichever elf or witch you wanted to shag. I bet, as long as they didn’t have to tell their mates, a bunch of Cod Bros would love a pretend mission pack with orders from Soap or Price. I mean as long as these companies are pumping out tat anyway, right?
Anyway, the Crystal Creations pack is out now, and you can get yer $50 jewellery on theofficial Sims shop(don’t do that). Presumably we will see a timelyaesthetic slimetie-in around 2028.
