I mean, if they made an expansion to allow you to completely build a building, have actual families, restor skills, make your own map and kingdom, and create your own sort of adventures I'd be down.
I just didn't feel like they had a shot with the game after stripping out all of the MAIN Sims content.

You have a nice opinion here, James, but in fact I want to try and clarify what I think you are saying about who's fault it is that Sims Medieval did not continue, but was ended by Ea. I believe you are saying that EA believes it is the fault of the consumer for not being excited enough about the game to run out with their last dollars of the month's budget to purchase anything and everything EA put out for the game, nor create special chat rooms and forums specifically for TSM, and that you are NOT saying that it is your opinion that the fault is that of the consumers.
I will let you know something especially because it proves my point. I did not even know about the game TSM, until right at the point where EA had stopped involvement with the game. This should not have happened in my line of work at that time, as I was heavily involved in PC gaming, and games and on the Internet constantly, working with new and old games, and with games consumers throughout the world. Certainly there is a reason why the news about this game was so slow to reach my knowledge and attention, especially when my work involved researching, and playing every type of game new and old for PC.
I am quite certain the answer lies in EA and their advertisement (s) of TSM, then later P&N. There was almost NONE. But look at Sims 3, and their advertisements. I detest Sims 3, and all of its silliness, but involved in its distribution, I was, and about everywhere one looks on the Internet and game sites, there are Sims 3 marks, pictures, discussions, advertising , and everything else a company puts out to inform the public of all they can waste their money on just to popularize their product, and make money off the consumers.
Where was this kind of jump into your rocket launchers and blast out the wall posters attitude for the Sims Medieval, and Pirates and Nobles? Why weren't their hidden behind a few web sites' front page adverts filled with exciting images, or promotions???? Why did they not scream about the availability for gamers to live in Medieval times and why did they not use the Sims 3 forums, and discussions to get the story out about TSM? Why did they not spend the proper funds in advertising TSM and P&N????? Did they think we consumers so stupid that since they played Sims 3, there was no need to pay out money for advertising a new sims game with a similar build, as sims fans would follow blindly so EA would save itself a few bucks????
The above is all I believe to be true about most game producers, not just EA, though EA takes the dang cake. There is a reason why voters voted EA the worst company in America 2 years in a row, that for being horrible in customer service!
All of this is also proof that EA are money grubbing PIGS, who care not a wit about their customers, yeah, but what is even sadder, is they don't care about the games they produce. EA loves MONEY, but nothing else.
