If you haven’t noticed yet, The Sims 4’s art style relies on a lower amount of polygons. This means that objects often have less curves and edges in order to both add to the game’s performance and also fit with The Sims 4’s art style.Still, The Sims Team manages to create layered and detailed objects even with this low polygon count rule.

The Sims 4 is the highly anticipated life simulation game that lets you play with life like never before. Control smarter Sims with unique appearances, personalities, behaviors, and emotions. Experience new levels of creativity when you sculpt Sims with the powerful Create A Sim and design beautiful homes with tactile, room-based Build Mode. The Sims 4 will have no toddlers. You can look in ball pits, on precariously high tables, at Lego-eating conventions—anywhere. You will not find them. Many players are upset. How will the.
We have these objects as a small example:Fountain from The Sims 4 Get TogetherTelescope from The Sims 4 Base GameLiterally almost anything from The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff.This rule of low polygon count never represented an obstacle in The Sims 4. Well, not until nowThe Sims Team thought it was a good idea to add a ball pit to The Sims 4 Toddler Stuff Pack. I was generally excited for this object until I saw how it was executedBelieve it or not, this object is made out of nothing but stairs, a flat surface and 10 balls popping out.This wouldn’t be such a problem if the flat surface of the ball pit had a higher resolution illusion of a ball pit. It’s really upsetting when you want to take a screenshot of your Sim having fun in a ball pit and you see all those low-resolution balls in the backgroundThis ball pit illusion is so low-res that you’d have to be 5 meters away from your computer screen in order for it to look like something.Toddlers will dive into the ball pit and throw random VFX (visual effects) balls around them as you can see in the video below. What you don’t seem to get is that it takes a lot of effort for a computer to process something with high polygons. If the Sims team put in all the necessary polygons to make each ball round and to interact with other round balls.
Your computer would basically burst into flames each time you would try to have a toddler play with the ball pit. But in all seriousness unless you have a top of the line computer your computer would either lag or just crash each time the ball pit was in use. This has nothing to do with laziness. Most computers are just not good enough to process that well. It’s not a free item. You paid money for it, and when you pay money for something that’s so blatantly phoned in, it’s natural to be upset about it.
Have you tried placing it in the game? It looks horribly out of place. It’s the one object I can’t use, because it’s just so awful that it sticks out and distracts you the whole time. I paid money for something useless. Shouldn’t I be upset?
They could have taken the time to add some texturing to the top of it. Didn’t have to render every ball or anything, just the top layer. Instead we get this lazy mess. So yeah upset makes sense.
Over the last few days, players around the community have been talking a whole lot about the that was released with The Sims 4 Toddler Stuff. Many players believe the ball pit object was poorly done and that it doesn’t live up to the “standard” of the game.

ViaIf you are looking for an alternative to the current Ball Pit, has released an override object! Their version of the ball pit looks much better, adds several 3D balls to the pit, and gives players an alternative to what is currently in the game.
