I'm excited forc7t! I have an NPC spouse, (and I swear they used Noah as a model when they made Raul.) Lol. Over the years I've bought him clothes, so It will be fun dressing as a couple. I also think some players might not want to go against the others, and show support for something so many players are not looking forward to.
But some aspects, like dressing twice as many dolls will be stressful. Some of us take more time styling our dolls than we so styling ourselves! All in all, I'm looking forward to trying this new feature.
ngl I don’t think four full pages of people talking about how this idea sucks with maybe two or three saying they’re interested is a sign that “players might not want to go against others,” there’s been plenty of controversial discussions on these forums before and people have never had trouble speaking their minds. If people actually were excited about this, they’d be in this thread explaining exactly why and refuting the negative points people are making.
This idea doesn’t excite me at all, but at this stage I don’t think we have enough information about it. There’s too much left unanswered and I just can’t imagine how this will be successfully executed. Hopefully in the coming days we will have responses to the questions asked here and some in game screenshots to help tell the story a bit better.
I do hope that our feedback is taken seriously, and if the overwhelming consensus is negative, the idea will be scrapped and we can revert to our regular events. I think an email survey would be good for this, as opposed to on the forum, so people can give their honest feedback without fear of judgement. While I appreciate the work that must have gone in to designing a new system like this, not every idea is a good one and deserves to remain part of the game purely because of the effort that went into it.
I, like others, would much rather have seen improvements to the current SYS, such as three stackable tickets, TS prizes based on point total, not competition (eg, 1st prize tier requires x number of points), and fixing the many glitches we’ve been experiencing as players. I want to enjoy this game, and when I wake up at 5am to submit a ticket, lose out on prizes to people with 3000+ points, and don’t know if I’ll be booted from the style level I worked so hard to achieve, I’m really not having fun.
I hope I am pleasantly surprised by the new SYS system, but I am keen to hear a lot more about the system ahead of it launching in game. I would love to hear from people who ARE excited about this to shine a new light on the topic 🤍

I had to restart all my progress a while ago and if the items are going to lock it’s going to be very hard to play because i don’t have much items at the moment. It’s already hard choosing outfits for one player i don’t know if i can do two.
Your idea sounded really interesting and I feel like it definitely could have been cooler with squads like you said or even facebook/in-game friends. Using NPCs is just not that exciting and the idea that some people who may not have a huge closet might have to spend currency to expand their closets just so that they have enough clothes to create what is basically 28 on theme outfits if you don't repeat any (14 tickets with 2 outfits each) sounds like a money grab.
The sys we have now is already RIGGED and stressful, so what does Glu do?? Add on more crap we didn't ask for. I won't knock it without trying it, but I'm not excited for it. My game hubby has on cheap stuff, I'm not wasting my precious stars or diamonds for a guy I only go on dates with during dating weekends. Ugh I hope this doesn't stick around. Instead, y'all (Glu) need to fix the broken sys we do every single day. 🙄🙄🙄

I feel bad for those not on the forum. They will be caught off guard when this new sys begins. Why does Glu begin new crap when we don't ask for much to be fixed?!
I haven't been on the forum much bc my ten year old daughter, Jazzlyn, has covid,🥺 but man I'm glad I popped in for inspo for tomorrow's sys bc I would have missed this thread.
My husband doesn't know much about this game, except how to dress my doll occasionally when I'm busy, but I was telling him about this new duet and how no one is happy about it and he just said this "that game isn't focusing on fashion, getting clothes easily, or being like a star, it's all about Greed. That's the most greediest company. Sys already is aggravating for you with rigged votes, so I can't imagine when this new one starts." Then he reminds me I have to tell Jazz about it... She's already sassy enough, this won't make her happy lol
Point is, it's sad when someone who doesn't play knows how rigged this game is. Someone remind me why I'm sticking around hoping it gets better?! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

So if our partner is of the opposite gender we now have to spend even more for a completely new wardrobe?! And this is fair how?! Why is that every new “exciting” update there’s just another way to suck the players dry? We ask for the simplest things like don’t put dyes in boxes we are spending 40 stars on and a way to earn more diamonds and instead the game creators say “here’s another thing to waste your precious resources on”. And right around the holiday season too. Wow just wow. Bravo 👏👏👏 I’ve seen some scumy marketing before but this really takes talent. 🤦♀️
Also just gonna put it out there, the whole 'men's clothing is for men and women's clothing is for women' sounds so iffy and suspicious like... girl, no, bye. I've worn men's clothing as a child up until 8th grade for not so happy reasons but nonetheless they were comfortable and nice to wear (plus, am I the only who noticed how 'women' clothing just doesn't last as long as any other type of clothing?) and I didn't even mind bc to me they looked all the same. We're in 2021 going 2022, I don't think it's very inclusive and diverse to do... whatever the hell this is.
I'm excited forc7t! I have an NPC spouse, (and I swear they used Noah as a model when they made Raul.) Lol. Over the years I've bought him clothes, so It will be fun dressing as a couple. I also think some players might not want to go against the others, and show support for something so many players are not looking forward to.
But some aspects, like dressing twice as many dolls will be stressful. Some of us take more time styling our dolls than we so styling ourselves! All in all, I'm looking forward to trying this new feature.
Koko, I don't mean even the slightest of disrespect to you as I have tons and tons of genuine love for you, but please don't say that. There is no such thing as "some players might not want to go against the others" here. I promise that that's not the case. If there are players who are genuinely excited for this feature, I'm sure they would happily speak their minds. And if they choose to, there would be absolutely and 100% nothing wrong with that. Nobody is going to attack them for it or make them feel bad for speaking their minds. I'm presuming this forum is for freely speaking our minds, and even if there are a few haters and trolls around here, there are good people as well. If another player really loved this feature, I'd be happy for them, but that's really it. I wouldn't see them as "not showing support" or anything like that, and I would never go and troll them for liking it. Now that's just not cool and I'm sure even others on the forum wouldn't allow it.
So I think that saying things like "some players don't want to go against others, so they're not saying anything" just undermines our feelings. There's a chance that Glu will take that and think, "Oh, sure there's a lot of hate, but maybe that's why players who love this are not saying anything out of fear, so let's go and implement it." Yes, I love the game, but I feel like there's just no need to kiss it up to them. I give credit where it's due. For example, I love the art behind this game. But there are also a lot of things I really dislike about this game, and this feature is another one of them, considering (from my understanding) we'll have to invent 28 new looks for every theme, buy items with k-stars or diamonds for another gender, or earn clothing that we'll never wear. It's bad enough we get pummeled with dyes every day, and we don't need this extra stuff.

I posted because I saw a few examples of players walking back enthusiasm, and wanted to acknowledge them. It didn’t apply to everyone, just a few but still. Glu has left the parameters wide open about how to play. You can play with another doll of you dolls gender - where they share your closet. If you have already invested in an NPC spouse wardrobe - this is a rare occasion where you get to use those clothes other than for a date, or one of those totally awkward Hair sniffing poses in the Photobooth. Glu isn’t forcing anyone to buy clothes.
And till I see how the prizes work out, I’m not even going to try and comment about it. Hoping it works out well for all. I do like the fact that we can choose the gender. That’s good news for my iOS, but tbh My Androids don’t have any good looking NPC female contacts. So I’ll have to dig up 2.
Yes, we have seen 5 pages of players saying they’re very ticked off. I don’t think my post saying ‘Some’ or ‘a few’ players are excited and maybe staying quiet is going to change that. It simply acknowledges a different point of view.
Now excuse me, I want to go beg for spoilers in the Update thread.

The game has had so many issues lately. The amount of glitches have been insane and we’ve not been compensated at all. Instead of addressing all these issues and working on fixing them Glu just throws another feature that literally no one asked for (and I don’t really see anyone excited for it either).
If we’re starting to get clothing for the gender we’re not playing as and therefore can’t wear in boxes I’ll be so pissed.
When this starts, we're introducing a new hearts system which is designed to improve your overall SYS experience. Once we have the first SYS Duets event, you can share what you think about it. As for the prizes in SYS Duets, male and female dolls can win women's clothes from the earnable and leaderboard prizes. It will be possible to win clothes for the opposite gender from some gift boxes, but not all of them. The SYS diamond gift boxes will be available for female dolls only and contain women's clothes.

@IslaEden, your whole entire post is on point. You really nailed it.
"Money-making lab rats", unfortunately, is probably more accurate than GLU/EA will ever admit. The people who post here are the most motivated and engaged of the user base and listening to you would make the game better. But by that same definition, that means the posters here are not representative of the majority of their player base. There is another small segment of the userbase that GLU/EA actually caters to, and those are the people who are avid collectors of all the in-game items and who spend obscene amounts of money to do so. They use the feedback they get from their most engaged players and then turn around and use it to siphon more money out of their players. The posting of spoilers by Kalinda is part of this process. That should make everyone on this forum rethink posting their reactions and responses to the spoilers that get posted.
The rigid gender binary of the clothing in this new feature that absolutely no one asked for: not a good look at all in today’s climate. And so soon after Pride month?
The new heart voting system is a way to mask the unfairness of the current voting system. The posters on this forum have identified the unfairness of the votes for months (the "infamous 60" thread being a prime example). Kalinda said "if [we] love it", it may get implemented in regular SYS. Consider that a done deal. LOL
And finally, I’m so glad someone finally said it: Glu is absolutely never going to create a diamond business. When diamonds first rolled out, Kalinda said diamonds would not replace k-stars. She was technically telling the truth. Diamonds are, in fact, an even rarer currency in the game than k-stars and they are intentionally difficult to earn for free. The ideal outcome for Glu is for the player to get frustrated at how long it takes to earn diamonds through free gameplay, miss out on getting the best/coolest items that can only be purchased with diamonds, and spend their real money to buy the diamonds. Glu is never going to create any sort of way where diamonds can be earned as easily as k-stars. If they create diamond businesses, they might as well not have k-stars.

this is what i'm saying I don't want to win a single piece of male clothing none

I don’t want any male clothing in ANY boxes. I will literally never use it. It’s gonna be even more useless than all the freaking dyes. I also don’t want to create double the amount of looks for SYS it’s already freaking stressful.

Will our NPC have access to our make up and face/body contours ?
Please don't make us win male clothing in any boxes. Give us the option to just buy them instead. That way, those who want it can spend their money on it and those who don't can get something else. It's not like I'll ever be able to use it. I don't really care for the spouse/babies part of this game, considering there's no development to them anyway. And also, having to create 28 looks for a SYS is completely unacceptable. It's difficult even for a long-time player to do that.
For themes like "Alien Abduction" or "1980s Retro", how many people have 28 separate and full looks with accessories and all? Unlocking used items again takes 2 full days (or 2 videos per day). That's really just not enough. Not only is it a significant effort to dress a 2nd person, but it's also discouraging. I don't have 28 looks to spare for every SYS, so I'll be inclined to dress my NPC with things like pajamas or those freebie outfits. This means I'll probably get low votes, zero hearts, and kind of a very sad SYS experience, which is the opposite of what you're advertising. Please just don't make us win male clothing in any boxes. If you're so inclined to anyway and ignore us, throw those clothing items in daily gift boxes, but not weekend or diamond boxes. We're already pummeled with crappy rewards like dyes and those free sports bras in a dozen colors. This just isn't needed. Please just take our advice already. It's not too late. Duets is one thing but having us win things we clearly don't want is another.

Dolls, dolls, dolls: It’ll rake in more money, imagine the small myriad. That’s *mountain.* I dislike this misbegotten idea entirely and won’t enter any SYS: Duet. How uninspired. Spouses? Babies? We’re so over it. Enough to create one look...16 times around?! Two?! No. But GL with that.
Every single day something breaks in your game. A new one should be created when the old one normally works. Stop making a mess of the game. Nobody asked you for duets. Soon, only the Glu team will play SYS and they will also pay the money. Because all the loyal players will just leave you and you are now doing everything for this
Okay...so a good number of players on the Reddit forums are suddenly having WiFi connection issues and it started just a few minutes ago. I'm wondering if this is foreshadowing any outages again, the very ones that are STILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGED to this day. Are we going to have another glitch outbreak soon? Please just no...🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧

The timing of all the glitches now seems to run along with this duets idea. They have been messing with the sys system behind the scenes and it's had a knock on effect to our actual games
