I thought about this too, I think the second loading screen after pressing break in is to clear the lot of any sims so that it is empty, the sims 4 default is for all sims to be home when you travel to their lot. It sucks but they are so LAZY and uncreative when it comes to manuvering around their limitations. You would think that if you knew you couldn't get rid of the loading screens between the landlord events and travel on the same lot that maybe you wouldnt make a whole pack based around that??? like all they did was highlight the the horrible mechanics of the game, there is so much else they could have done with Tomarang instead of tieing it to this trash and empty pack. if you ask me the only reason we got this lazy landlord pack is because they didnt want to add apartment building as a patch to the game even though we ALREADY have apartments in-game, and even though no one in the history of the sims community has ever asked to be a landlord in the game they saw a chance to monetize the ONE good feature by throwing EP on the cover, adding a bunch of dull filling and charging for an expansion.

The spirit house is like an offering shrine. This one is specific to Southeast Asia, but you can find similar variations all over the continent. Basically as the name says, they're to house spirits and appease them with offerings. In Thailand, for example, they leave rice and sweet things like coconuts, bananas and desserts to offer nice spirits and their presence would keep the more evil spirits away. Of course in the sims, unless you just know this or this is part of your culture, it just kinda seems like a quirky thing that gives your sims a nice mood. Why actually explain the culture behind it 🙄
@exentine76936 ай бұрын
I was hoping they might have an animation crouching or bowing in front of the shrine before laying the fruit offering, or have them actually show sims holding and lighting the incense, instead of sims using the generic grab animation.

Of course there'll be people who don't mind being f'ed in the behind and still buy the game regardless how bad it gets, but this is a small amount of players. Most will seek for a game that meets their needs&standards, aren't broken and overpriced for over 10x. The company knows it, and therefore, if they want their game to sell, they NEED to play somewhat safe. EA doesn't give a damn, because, simmers don't give a damn in the first place. They cry and moan about broken game, abundance of lags and being about as boring as driving through road 66 from top to bottom, but in the end, they'll still let EA suck up all of their money. EA as a result, goes even further with their scums and are even more blatant about it. It will continue and get even more extreme, because simmers are allowing them to do so. The fanbase is the exact reason for that bottomless pit you're all in. Saying that other companies are also greedy won't suddenly make the games they're spewing out good/worth the money.

Do not give them ANY money. Why would they ever make a good game, when people keep paying them for the dogsh*t they're serving? If you give someone a dollar every time they slap you, they just keep slapping you. EA is not your friend. Corporations/companies are not your pal. It is always morally acceptable to pirate from EA. Corporations understand dollar signs - so people can whine and moan all the want, but even buying it on sale rewards them for their predatory practices! Continuing to support this means it's your fault for encouraging them. Pirating is easy, and virus free, and takes very little searching to figure out online. Stop rewarding bad behavior.

I really want this pack, but without being paid rent ever, what is the point? 😢 also I literally watched one video where they justly evicted someone and were fined and ratings went down when they did good things and went up for doing bad things. Fix the game play. Please. I mean some glitches will happen but no excuse when it's the fundamental thing about the expansion.

The rent glitch I got was after I made a fairly basic rental lot I tried to move in a sim I wanted as a landlord. The rent was set as 4.2 billion per apartment. I had to bulldoze the lot and rebuild about 3 times to change it, now it only shows 50

This pack felt like a Covid pack to me. Rushed, small, and uneventful. ETA: I’m also gonna complain, not about the wallpaper tool, but the lack OF wallpapers. The exterior options aren’t what I wanted/expected. I was wanting more. Tbh, this pack is more of a bonus pack to Snowy Escape. If you don’t own Snowy Escape, then you’ll have a hard time building. (Even though all the color swatches don’t match).

They should have 100% focused on giving the illusion that someone active lives next to you as part of the gameplay. Like yeah, clicking and collecting some money is nice but the illusion of active neighbors, neighbors stories with drama surrounding cheating, family affairs, parties ect would’ve been such a better theme. Listening to walls

Honestly I love the idea of being able to rent units so I bought the pack and I’m waiting till the true heroes of the sims-the modders-fix and upgrade the other features. It’s unfortunate that the modders show more love to the game than the company that developed it..
@aurelia21326 ай бұрын
Thanks as always for your brutally honest reviews! One thing I'll let The Sims slide on, this time, is the fact that there's not much furniture to match the other build mode items. I can buy the idea that, since the pack is about rentals, it would make sense that the furniture you bring into the home doesn't necessarily match the architecture. However, the rest of the issues with the pack are pretty unforgivable. Even if it wasn't riddled with bugs, the fact that they implemented such an empty world with so much hype is disappointing. Who wants to go to a night market that isn't bustling with people or shops to buy from? Why include so many beautiful/romantic areas with no reason for any sim to ever go there? I think part of having beautiful world locations is the idea that a Sim could go there and do something that creates a special memory -- like have their first date or celebrate their anniversary. But because so many of the beautiful areas are just empty scenery with nothing to do, your Sims are all stuck having their first date at the bowling alley or the comedy club. Can Sims even go into the Tiger Sanctuary rabbithole together, like as a family trip or a date? Or is it something only one Sim can do at a time?

Seen you react to this pack before its release and been waiting to comment this once it is out and when you are reviewing it! Coming from a Singaporean Malay, I think that it’s nice that the sims decided to represent us Southeast Asians as I feel that we need to be represented more in this world!! As a person who loves cultural architectures and cultural related things, I love looking at the lots and items in this pack!! I hope that in the future we can have more packs related to Southeast Asia!! Other than that, I am on your side with how this pack is like having bugs and all that!! Also Since now it’s rare to see villages in Singapore, it’s a pleasure to see that in this pack, I can see Southeast Asia style villages which is still common in other Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and much more!! Anyway love your videos!!

It's kinda expected that they will go into your private rental. Have you ever played as a vampire? If you just go to the shared area of your neighborhood to hunt whatever sims are nearby, they will suddenly be hanging out with you because you interacted with them. I've done it in City Living with neighbors - they chill at your house for a few hours and then say thanks for hanging out with them. That isn't a new bug, it's a decade old bug that they seem to never have interest in fixing it.

To be brutally honest, I think they are doing the bare minimum on TS4 and will continue to do this up until TS5 is released probably in 2025. They are throwing all of their resources at the new game but not missing out on an opportunity to keep cashing out for low-effort expansions in the current game. Honestly, if they could release a world that was 100% rabbit holes they would.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="936">15:36</a> I like how this is it. Snoop and your sim just stand and don't even interact with wardrobe, like it is even hard at this point to "play pretend" if your sim just stands and not like digging in wardrobe. It's a glorified screenshot simulator, not a life sim. Probably, even unique to all townies secrets could have been the thing, and it's actually cost nothing in terms of "animation to create", maybe you need more icons for that, but it just all about time and effort. And at this point, they just don't care. Imagine how many theories could have been created, and not only with Goths, Lotharios etc. but with other "new" premades.

I was looking for the native landscaping in debug and noticed something many might have seen. The reason we didn't get any landscaping is because almost everything comes originally with Island Living and Jungle Adventure. While I don't mind them reusing landscaping and saving resources, it's hard to blend your lots into a world with no native plants.

Where I live usually pet adoption drives are done in public places like grocery store parking lots under a tent or at a park or something like that, we don't have them in residential places, but maybe thats just where I live.
