25 Random Things I Hate About The Sims 4

[@pinkgirl4000]

The thing that annoys me most is that if you want your sim to have makeup on, you have to manually select it for each outfit instead of locking it to all outfits like in previous games. Also, yes to the baking/cooking thing. Makes no sense why cakes are in the "cook" category.

[@anomalytenacious]

Yes that bake cooking mismatch has irked me from day one.

[@lunacantusmew]

this drives me insane..and the fact that i cant have custom content for all items when searching for clothing

[@inkvampyr]

It's funny and sad at the same time that the Sims 2 was better in certain thing than the Sims 4. Supermarkets are in the Sims 2, you don't pay for individual meals but for groceries that you can either order or buy on a public lot. Buying clothes is a thing in the Sims 2: you create them with a certain set of clothing and if you want to change it you have to buy the clothes (or wear the outfits other Sims in the household have).

And I found it very useful, bc there are a lot of clothes that I don't like so I never use them, so I'd just buy the ones that I like, it makes the wardrobe more neat and you don't have to scroll through the ugly clothes just to find the ones that you like

[@xcalium9346]

Totally agree about the weather. Name one other game that has a weather system that you need to pay for. Name one. It's so built in to shit, it would be like paying for lighting lmao. Or paying for a sky box. Or paying for textures. Simmers are really pathetic about stuff like this. Notice how there's always someone saying "oh no poor EA has to code in something that comes as a default in almost all game engines for the last 15 years" in any comment thread or video that criticizes Maxis or EA. Legit if the Sims 5 is really built in UE5 like job listings are suggesting, then they have no excuse for this at all. Volumetric clouds, rain, snow, etc are all built into the engine. Oh, but I'm sure some simmers will come in and defend the poor multibillion dollar company and throw another $1,500 at that game because apparently their fetish is terrible financial decisions.

[@katieburkman3981]

its literally so funny how people will be like "you should be GRATEFUL they have put all this hard work into this game!" lol no, this game in full costs over $1,000. For this price, the game should be AT LEAST function correctly (which the sims 4 does not), and it should include things that are such daily parts of life, such as weather and pets (again, which it does not)

[@sorbbae620]

i find it ridiculous that seasons has been a dlc for sims 2, 3, and 4, i believe that any features that are dlc in one game, should be included in the base game of the next. i dont play the sims often and its for this reason, the game is boring without the dlc packs, but i refuse to pay for weather in a life simulation game.

I like that the filters don't filter every item category in CAS. Just because I want to filter dresses doesn't mean I also want to filter shoes. You're not required to use cheats in a regular save, so I wouldn't say you need a normal mode because you can choose to not use them. I agree we need homes with bathroom/kitchen but no furniture, though. That would also help the problem of starter homes leaving Sims with very little money

I agree so strongly on the paying for clothes. That would be so useful in a Rags to Riches game. As it is, I only give my starting Sims one outfit in the categories and up the quality as they make more money, but paying for clothes would make for better gameplay. It could even be an option that can toggle off and on. I wish they not only had a normal gameplay mode, but also I would love to choose style of play. If for each save, you could choose between "realistic" gameplay, "chaotic" gameplay and something in-between, then you could choose how much Sims craziness you wanted in that particular save.

U have a good point. But i think the bigger picture is that the sims is a Life simulation game. And in real life clothes are not free. And this is where i think the normal mode he metioned makes sense. One mode thats things are free or u can use cheats to get them and then another mode that actually simulates real life.

[@westanimesims]

In Sims 1 and 2, you move it with minimal furniture, just in real life LOL. Also it helps to keep the cost low when you buy your own furniture. Also I never like the "Sort by room" in buy mode, some of the sorting does not make sense and I sometimes can't find the decorations I want in that sorting system. I am team "Sort by function" all the way!

Hey, thanks for the compilation :) I actually do not completely agree with the translation to Simlish.

You can often see some random phrases in other languages on clothes or as tattoos. So just think of it as Sims using English just like anybody else in the world uses foreign languages for fun or aesthetics ☺️ As for the rest of your points - totally agree! They should pay you for pointing out their faults 🤔

[@Rebe8d89AH]

I love the idea of paying for CAS. The Sims 2 kinda did that because you had to have a dresser/wardrobe at home and then go to the store to buy new clothes.

It's also difficult when picking hair with accessories which are already there as you have to make the outfit colour 'go with' the accessory in some way. I'm 38 and have been playing sims since I was in my late teens. There are so many things they got rid of from previous ones which also tick me off. I'm glad I'm not alone.

I know some people say that there are no preschools or anything for toddlers, but the other day the game prompted me to send my toddlers to preschool or hire a nanny when my adult Sims went to work. My kid came back with skills they had learned at school... so I'm confused why there isn't an option to just send your toddlers to preschool even when your adult Sims are home. Since this function is already in the game. On top of that, my toddler's needs were horrible when the came back. Also, I don't understand why babies aren't sent to daycare when the parents or teens aren't home and there's only a child there. However, you'll be prompted to send your toddler's to preschool or hire the nanny in the same scenario (no adult or teen present, but a child is home). Also, why can't children feed babies or change diapers as well?? But they have the option to give food to toddlers??

[@lirpa2300]

Where is the changing tables? Baby swing? Stroller or walkers? Play mats for tummy time? The baby basin to wash the baby in? We barely have items for the babies, let alone more interactions for them. The game is supposed to be a LIFE SIMULATION game but they ignored and have cut corners when it comes to babies and toddlers. It took them TWO years to even add toddlers to the basegame which was RIDICULOUS....SMH!!!

Also once we FINALLY had seasons and weather in the game, they gave us the options to control the days and weather but not seasons. How hard us it to addca setting to control seasons.

For #23, I've seen it come up as a complaint in rags to riches challenges when they have Sims dressed in kind of worn out clothes, but they can just swap out nicer clothes without a cost as they go on. Though I know some of the people I've seen do the challenge removed like $50 per outfit or only change to outfits they buy in one of the retail shops.

[@CaityRaindrop]

Speaking of modes, I'd love a return of "story mode", such as those seen in ts1 and 2 on console. You start with 1 sim, go to a house(ts1 > your mums, ts2 > starter with 2 roomies). As you complete objectives, you unlock new locations to live in and help other sims with their goals. It was generally really fun to play through and I think it would be a more engaging tutorial, like each new lot has new storylines that teach game mechanics (kinda like merging the story mode of the console games, with the staged events of ts2 pc premade households)

[@kingkal81]

Please do a complete comparison in main Sims games 1 to 4. I am looking to get back to the Sims but don't know which one to play. Maybe Sims 2 or 3.

[@tATuCentral]

I think 2 and 3 are the shining stars of the series… if you’re down for tinkering a bit to get them to run correctly. 2 is the best in terms of small details and arguably the best family style play. There’s also a ton of graphics mods that make it look better than the sims 4 imo. Sims 3 is best if you love the idea of an open world and unlimited customization. Plus it has some really fun RPG style stuff in it… oh and all the rabbit holes are interactable, unlike 4. I often bounce between the two games.

[@wangdangatomictango]

I'd recommend playing S2 first if you've played S4. I think S2 and S4 are similar in that you'll find the transition easy (as in loading screens, swatches for furniture, rotational style gameplay). S2 offers a lot of gameplay depth, challenge, variety, and drama that S4 lacks. S1 is the most challenging of the 4 but it is where the series started. If you can overcome how the game plays, you'll find plenty of fun in S1. There are guides and mods (known as hacks for S1) available online to make the experience comfortable. S1 and S2 is available on oldgamesdownload since both games are considered abandonware (you'll need a fix for S2's IKEA stuff if you get it from ogd). S3 is my personal favorite as it really plays like nothing else in the series. I love the rpg style gameplay and challenges you can participate in. However if your system can't run 3, but you want to experience the rpg gameplay, Medieval is really good.

I completely agree with the gallery filters statement. That’s my least favorite thing about Sims 4. Why can’t the gallery just show us the things we own??

[@ZoeThomson00]

I remember there were a few clothing racks in the Sims 2 you could get and if you wanted to you could build a clothing store. You would literally have to click on the clothing rack, select the clothes you wanted and then your sim would have to go to the cash register where the shop assistant would ring them up and then your sim had the clothes in their dresser. Same with groceries.

[@MissAdalia1991]

There was a system when we had to pay for clothes in the Sims 2

[@lirpa2300]

The clothing thing is one of my biggest grips. Besides clothes being free, it's annoying that we are limited to 35 clothes, so if I want to change clothes after wearing the 35 o already wore, I have to go back into CAS. In Sims 2, there was no limits on clothing in your inventory and you had to pay to for clothes. I miss in the Sims 2 where you went shopping for clothes, could try them on, go on shopping sprees and even buy clothes for the entire household. They could have had Sims go shopping for clothes or purchase clothes online. I also don't understand why cash registers aren't functional either, just decorative like most objects are in this game. Also, the Sims 4 has a criminal career and a klepto trait but no burglars in the game, make that make sense....SMH!!!

[@justvibinchy]

Yesss These ghost be at the damn stripclub tryna throw invisible fake money like whaaaat!

[@grellswife]

What do you mean limited to 35 clothes??? Im not sure I understand

[@salientspoon]

@@grellswife I think they mean because there are seven outfit categories and you can have five outfits within each.. but to me that seems like more than enough to be honest. I only ever use one per category because I'd find it insufferably boring to a) have to look through so many clothes to find an outfit I want my sim to wear, b) have to make so many outfits in the first place, and c) download enough CC so that there are actually enough clothes I like, because even just with seven total outfits per sim, I find myself using the same few items per category. Yeah I can opt not to use extra outfits but it really would just seem wild to have more than we already do.

[@itscyberqueen13]

OMG thank you so much for talking about the Henford on Bagley hair swatch in blonde because it happens in my game and my ocd drove me mad when I removed mods, updated the game, reinstalled the game and still it was there 😬

[@clairyvbear]

I agree that weather should be in the base game however, if we’re talking about it being added because its a life simulation game, then you could also make the argument that university, cats and dogs, city living, island living and literally every pack should be free because its part if life/adds to life.

[@anomalytenacious]

I have always wished I was charged for clothes and traveling b.c there is no gold sink in the sims so it just sits there capped at 999,999. I had not thought about the unfurnished homes as I always bulldoze it and rebuild as my sims get cash. It would have been neat to have homes we need to furnish by default though.

[@_anneli_]

Thank you so much for mentioning the issues with the gallery! There's a button to only show elements with packs you own, but it _does_not_work_! I thought it was only an issue I had, but it's very reassuring that it's indeed the game.

[@poshislove]

Ok, so am I the only one that has my sim do something but waits for like 10-20 seconds (or more) for them to actually DO IT?? And don't get me started with feelings and emotions -- Sims gets furious with another sim but transitions to being happy again. Oh, also, sims from other worlds keep coming and visiting your current world.. anyway apparently, the list goes on ...... 🙄

[@torgeir1354]

I don't really care about sims videos, but the production quality in your videos are top tier. You are also very funny and make great points and observations.

[@shaystylez]

You brought up some good points, fr. Some that I never even thought of myself and I absolutely agree that they all should be fixed. Especially the fact that we don’t have to pay for clothes in CAS. I also think there should be a system in place that once you “buy” an item, or items by clicking the check mark, it doesn’t have to be “repurchased” when you come back to CAS. Once you “buy” it, it’s yours. However; if you had your sim in a shirt they “bought” before, and it’s in the blue swatch for instance, they would have to pay for the red swatch, green, yellow, etc separately. You know what I mean? I just think it would bring more realism because just like in real life, if you want more than one color of a garment, more than one variation of the same shoes, more than one of the same thing, or even duplicates for that matter; you still have to pay for it.

[@concretegnome0061]

Finally someone said it!! Im not gonna pay 20 bucks just for some snow in my game. Im not gonna pay 20 bucks just so my sims can go to college.

[@candyqueencandyqueen2689]

I hate how they're first instinct is to go for a tv, computer, phone, stereo, etc it really annoys me to the point that I end up deleting most of the electronics

[@g.e131]

TS4 DEFINITELY needs challenge. THERE ARE NO REPERCUSSIONS OR CONSEQUENCES AND I'M PISSED ABOUT IT!

[@ronathebear]

I wish I knew how to make mods. I would fix the pricing and filters of e v e r y single item in the game. I would make sure e v e r y item has a basic black, white, grey and brown swatch that matches. This game needs to be fixed, it’s currently built on a broken foundation 😭 And I agree that CAS clothes should cost money, especially now that we have thrift shops in the game.

[@FerrariCarr]

Here’s one: wood tones in certain furniture collections not matching, or having swatches that make no sense. Example: that “Mega” furniture collection is clearly all supposed to go together, yet there are certain items like the shelf only having 3 wood swatches, and the bed not having a wood tone to match the default Mega wood tone. The “Caress” collection has a couple items that offer 3 dark wood tones with a different gold trim, while others only offer 2 dark wood tones and they’re never consistent!

[@Sabreeshuh]

Thank you! I really thought half of these problems were just something gone wrong on my end. The other half blatant garbage. Turns out it's all crap.

[@EmilyRainsford]

We all love @SnatchOnSims complaining for our enjoyment ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@MizzBrill]

Legit all the sorting issues. This is why it takes 7+ hours to make a new sim.

[@shyano8420]

Literally me on the last one and why do we have to pay for cats and dogs IN A LIFE SIMULATION GAME LIKE HELLO.

[@PreshKidd1887]

Also the color swatches for the cottage living hairs are messed up in their order. Like for all other hair you'd have your black, brown, red, blonde and then unnatural colors. Cottage living is just a mess with the color swatches being all over the place. It doesn't affect any gameplay but to me it makes the game look sloppy.

[@nptrain3439]

When you move out of a house you only have the option to keep furniture in your household inventory or to sell your furniture. Why can’t you just leave it how it was? Makes no sense.

[@bec504]

I hate that it costs about $800 for all dlc. . I get charging for it, but in reality expansion packs should be $10 not $40. $40 is the cost of a brand new game, the entire game. The expansion packs are relatively small, when you look at that one thing alone, and no one with play it as the only world. It's not really worth the money.

[@lisaelsancho6490]

I ALWAYS thought that seasons should be base game, and not only for Sims 4 but all the other games ! Ofc we know why they made us pay for weather in the first place but it really does not make any sense.

[@euijoospam]

7:39 i actually like this bc it’s very useful when u need to see more of that item ur using it on. so like if i realize i don’t like the bed i had put down before and want to select a different one, instead of clicking through the menu i can just eye drop the bed and the whole selection would pop up with just one click

[@francis7336]

I absolutely agree with having to pay for CAS. It would be cool to have a set budget when you first create a new household (with the option to switch that off in case you only want to create NPCs), but going forward you'd have to buy for clothes with your household budget, eg when you have kids or want to change your outfits. That would make clothing stores from Get to Work more useful as well (though GtW needs a refresh anyways)

[@marymorgan8253]

Things like paying for cas should have been features that expand on the series, but because the sims 4 was a fuck up from the get go, people are paying for the scraps EA gives them. Things that have always come with the game are still being packaged as dlc content, i.e weather and pets.

[@NitroIndigo]

Lately I've been getting a glitch where sometimes I can backspace in text entry fields, but I can't type anything, and the only way to fix it is to exit the game. Also, baking was introduced in Get to Work, so only recipes from that pack are in that menu.

[@sabrinashitpost]

No intro or outro just getting down to business I love it

[@mizuki3183]

I'm actually glad that weather is not in the base game. I had seasons on a different account some time ago and played in the cats and dogs world. All my Sims knew was rain and thunder! I hated it. I haven't gotten the seasons pack for that reason in my new account, which pains me as the stuff in it is absolutely amazing
