Following the Sims game and expansion pricing model: The first two thirds of the movie cost $16, but the rest of the movie is divvied up into even smaller sections, each costing $5

WTF is a Sims movie going to be? It’s literally a virtual dollhouse, there is no unifying story to tell.

Barbie was set in a literal dollhouse.

Margot's next movies will be American Girl Doll and Toy Story live actions

What unifying story did the barbie movie use?

I’m at least cautiously optimistic it might actually be a similar shtick to the barbie movie. Or a pure cash grab, real coin flip at this point.

I mean Barbie was basically both. It was done fairly well, but it was definitely a cash grabby movie about "other people have problems too"

unless this is movie about the pool ladder serial killer I fail to see what interesting plot hooks the Sims provides since it's uh, you know, just a simulation of normal western life?

I don't know maybe they become self-aware and protest all of the drowning victims that have suffered as a result of the removal of the pool stairs.
