Can you buy expansions here and have them work with your sims games you have bought from EA bc my expansions from steam don’t work with my EA games?

[@occono3543]

@@brizybell With The Sims 4, yeah you can use your expansion packs with the Steam version even if you only own them on the EA launcher. It doesn't work with older EA games but Valve made a deal with EA and Ubi Soft for newer games DLC. If you load up the free Steam version all your packs should be there even if owned outside Steam.

[@ShadowAnimeation]

I've seen a lot of people confused about the "Hallowed Grounds" thing. I think it's because it's a spooky pack so people are expecting spooky or weird stuff to happen due to that lot type. But Hallowed Grounds literally means "holy ground" or "holy place". So the effect isn't going to be spooky. Most likely it'll do something like stop ghosts from spawning as much or boost posative moodlets. Or if EA was the tiniest bit ambitious, it might make occult sims uncomfortable (similar to an evil sim being around a good sim). But it's not going to cause spooky or weird gameplay, it's a "holy" lot type.

I played with a sim and she was killed in a fire, and after playing with her as a ghost i made her re born into a different household as a toddler, but her mother from the previous life crossed paths with her and they got a description of oddly familiar connection. And it was so sweet, that she would recognize the soul of her daughter in another life.

Yeah I think it would make more sense if you could only be reborn as a literal baby, and literally it’s randomly assigned to a female sim of age, so the next time that sim has a baby that baby is the reborn spirit.

I am appalled you actually think getting together was a good expansion. There was ONE freaking new mechanic. It is a hell of a new mechanic, but that's it. There is not much beyond that. I, that came from sims 1 era, think the only pack that would be worthy of older generations is seasons. And that's it. All others seem like 1 good older generation pack split into 3 to 5 paid dlc.

[@BonaparteBardithion]

​@@ArgusLart That one mechanic is, as you say, a hell of a mechanic that continued to integrate well with new mechanics going forward. It also comes a couple new lot types and a skill you can freelance on.

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!!! 😂😂

[@anamakesthings]

Honestly, I never thought a *SIMS PACK* would get me emotional. I'm Romanian and have been playing the Sims since the 1st game came out (I'm 37 lol). Back then, in my small town, few people had PCs and there was no such thing as gaming stores. We would just pass along the same cracked CD with the key poorly scribbled in black marker, on the top. To go from not being able to buy the game, because it was for the rich, developed nations, to having a full pack inspired by Romania, and to have it be so damn good really got me in the feels 😭 On another note @10:25 I think they have the seasons thing like that because of the lakes - there are a lot of actions requiring you to get in the lake and when the temperature is too low, the Sim will get the prompt that it's too cold to swim. So some of the festivals, for ex, would not make sense in the winter. I think it ended up being a concession, so you can actually use the full gameplay year-long. My dad lives in Sibiu, the city the town square is inspired by, and I can confirm the winters are ROUGH down there, but we can't have it all, I guess :))

[@Rosemallow]

I’m so happy for you 😊 ❤

[@steggopotamus]

I mean, it's the sims, so it's not like good when compared to other game standards. But to be comparatively good is still something to be excited about. (It's satch's channel, I feel like this comment ks expected.) The part I really liked is how they worked to get romanian creators to do the builds. That's a great touch and I hope they do the same for other countries like it would have been nice if for rent dod that.

[@sugiz2067]

Skeptical would be super fun if you couldn't see any of the occult when that sim is selected.

[@b4rs629]

People still believe the earth is flat despite being shown what it actually looks like. People don't believe in god yet still witness miracles People can be confronted with the truth, yet turn a blind eye People are told & shown ghost stories on tv - whether you want to believe it's real or fake is up to you. I think it's natural. If a sim is a skeptic and they're confronted against that belief they lose the trait in exchange for "believer" - this sim love studying the occult, wants to join a cult & love being in a cult. Having occults flat out removed would be silly.

[@lailah4982]

not seeing ANY occults is a little overkill. for ghosts it would work, but for other occults there could be an exclusive “ask about costume” interaction when they’re transformed and also have them not be as afraid of the werewolf mode and stuff like that.

[@dani-ell-ah]

With Kate Emerald's build, one of the devs ruined it by dragging in walls to resize it. That's why it looks like that and why the toddler room and downstairs bathroom are not playable. Which goes to show that even in a fantastic pack, there are still corners being cut and inconsideration for the consumer and quality because they know the simmer will just fix it for them. This is obviously a passion pack and still someone altered and couldn't be bothered to test the function of a build, carefully made by a creator/fan, after they made a mess of it.

[@SNMarlene]

THANK YOU for mentioning how incomplete the Bb is, because everyone else I’ve watched is kind of pretending it’s not and it’s driving me CRAZY. I’d rather have less variety on styles on a pack but have a COMPLETE SET of items rather than having two or three styles that are incomplete and that you can’t build a complete house out of. There’s no matching toilet to the sink, shower and tub! No greenhouse door. No matching gates to all of the fences, ditto for the columns and the ONE spandrel.

[@qryptid]

Fr, not a matching chair loveseat couch set in sight 😢 I can't be a pretend interior decorator under these impossible constraints /hj

[@SNMarlene]

@ yep. And people tell us not to complain because nobody has a fully matching house - I know that! least on the sims I could try to pretend that I do and that everything matches like it should! But no, the wood swatches never match and the packs never come with complete sets 😂 this shouldn’t be a conversation , it’s a freaking game that can be designed to match, and whoever wants to pick different swatches and styles to imitate real life can do that anyway. People are so annoying 😂

(Like maybe a vampire who see the reincarnation of their first love or something. I wonder if there'll be a special moodlet/sentiment.) Plus, as a family player who like to play with households for multiple generations, I do get attached to some of the sims I make so the rebirth addition is probably something I will use a lot.

[@StoryGirl83]

7:46 I am of the opinion that when creating an expansion pack they should assume that the player only has basegame at first. This means in their chosen aesthetic there should be a bed (in single, double, loft, toddler, infant, and box baby), dresser, nightstand, toilet, bathtub and/or shower, bathroom sink, kitchen sink, counters, island, kitchen shelves, refrigerator, stove, dinning room table, desk, dinning room chairs, tv, computer functioning object (could be a typewriter or something else that functions as a computer), and a least one of each type of light (floor, wall, and ceiling). There should be at least one new double door, one new single door, and a minimum total of three new doors so that there is a new one for each height. There should a new fence with a matching gate. There should be a new foundation, new walls (with matching platform for at least one), new floors, new terrain, new plants in each category. Likewise there should be a new outfit for each age size (preferable each age group, but I am most concerned with sizes). This outfit can be one piece or two piece. And there should be something that makes sense for each clothing category. This means formal and party can be the same and so fan hot and swimwear, but formal and swimwear cannot be the same (unless we have a Sulani like world then maybe). Sleepwear and athletic might be the same, but they aren’t going to be the same as outerwear for cold weather (again, except maybe in a Sulani type situation). At least one new pair of shoes for every age size, one new hat, one new set of nails (finger and toe), and one new set of jewelry would be nice. And all of this should have something both feminine and masculine, though if something works for both that is okay. Every age should have new hairstyles for feminine and masculine. Once they finish with basics things that work with other packs are fine such as partial styles that compliment things from other packs and things with added functionality if other packs are owned (a well that you can draw water with if you have the eco lifestyle pack, I think, and that turns into a wishing well if you have romantic garden, for example). Maybe I went overboard her, so I will say the thought that really is behind this post: Why didn’t this pack have a new toilet?

[@maidenfinesmixedbag8880]

I totally agree that they should assume players only have basegame when determining what goes in a pack. I honestly don't care if they recycle features from one pack to another *as long as those features make sense for the pack.* When I was brainstorming what I would want/expect in a romance pack, I thought of nectar-making, but that was already in another pack. As a person who doesn't have every pack though, I wouldn't have minded the overlap. But I feel like they would maybe have more robust packs if they weren't trying so hard not to overlap. If I just started playing The Sims 4 this year and only had the money for one pack, I want that one pack to feel like a whole experience.

[@katelynamato5396]

for your toilet question there is a toilet in base game that matches all the new swatches from this pack so everyone, pack or not, has the toilet

[@adrianblake8876]

You went VERY overboard. Think of a Sims2 collection, or a Sims3 set (like in the store) These have: dining chair, barstool, armchair, loveseat, sofa, dining table, coffee table, end table, counters, desk, bar, single&double bed, dresser, armoire, bookcase, rug, lamps (tabletop, floor, wall, ceiling), toybox, wall hanging, door, archway, single&double window, fence&gate, column, mirror... Only two Sims2 EPs had a bathroom set, and one of these was explicitly called "Kitchen and Bath stuff pack"...

They should have made lucky and unlucky instead of chased by death and skeptical. Lucky sims could have had better success rates, feel confident often, wake up on the right side of the bed, and had like a "beginners luck" think where they get a boost when they've just started skills. Unlucky sims could have a higher chance for failure and set fires more often when cooking, have the wall bed (I forgot what it's called) break on them more often, etc. They could also wake up on the wrong side of the bed and be scared to try new things for fear of things going wrong. But an unlucky sim can only die of old age because the grim reaper laughs at their misfortunes, just like in the sims 3

Warning about Growing Together: they add in a new mechanic with it called burnout (nobody really talks about it in their reviews, dunno why), and the whole point of it is to punish you if you decide to work hard at work, do the same activity over and over again and other stuff.

I have not bought anything in 1.5 years (and before that took a 4-year hiatus from supporting this cash-grabby monster) but was considering buying this pack because of the tarot cards and other things that interest me. Figured this pack might give the CPR the simmer in me needs (the game hasn't been touched all year.) Seeing now that they have once again used deceptive marketing, I'll pass.

[@SweetLala25]

I've noticed that EAxis creates packs based on the assumption that everyone who buys that pack owns all the packs AND kits. If you own the pack and just base game, you truly can't make a coherent build that really makes sense. Just like they did with that castle kit, the assume people who will buy that kit, owns enough packs to make it make sense. So sad really.

[@b4rs629]

It's sucks, but it's true. I've been playing since the beginning... so I accumulated most of the packs over time. I can't imagine being greeted with all this dlc if I started playing today. Ea basically gave us a boring game and has been slowly drip feeding us content to fulfill the void of how empty the base game felt. There are still things even 10 years that we're missing that would be nice to have. Like Drums, other instruments, create a band, touring, gigs, (the entertainment rabbit hole career is awful) Expansions packs usually only add rabbit hole careers, some gameplay, & a wide variety of themes for build / cas Gamepacks - in my opinion adds the most value to the game itself for the price Stuff packs- Nice to haves, but generally not needed Kits - niche vibes & aesthethics, depends on your style and type of simmer you're Paranormal / Goth essentials Vampires, werewolves, magic, life & death, paranormal pack, crystal creations, spooky, goth galore, grunge revival, castle, story book The eco / off the grid / country rancher / minimalist roleplay Industrial kit / eco lifestyle / green house kit / tiny living / country / cottage living / blooming room / nifty knitting / laundry day / outdoor retreat / island / seasons /snowy escape / bust the dust / horse ranch Relaxation / healthy living / self care desert luxe / spa day / fitness pack (has great build items i love it) "fun packs, excitement, luxory) movie pack / bowling night / city living / get to work, get famous / luxory packs / moschino stuff / get famous / for rent / vintage glamour Take a vacation (great for families outdoor reteat / little campers / snow escape / Family simmers high school / uni / parenthood / growing together / kid packs / toddler packs / life & death (everything else is just icing on the cake) Gold digger simmers collection lovestruck / wedding stories / romantic gardens / simtimate collections / + clothing ktis or any pack that has a certain vibe for your sims Home decorator - basically any pack with build mode items you'll probably want it all if you enjoy building things I guess Get rich not so quick schemes packs dine out / for rent / cats and dogs / retail< get to work Traveler / adventure / story packs Jungle adventure, strangerville, star wars

@@b4rs629 Thanks SOOO much for all the grouping of packs depending on what type of player you are!!! ♥. Really wish I would have seen something like this earlier.

Wondering why I got cottage Living and Island Living...Love occult stuff and have all of first category except grunge , castle and nursery, vampires and werewolves. May get grunge and vampires. Others not of interest as am not a builder, family player or dog lover. Have: Cats & Dogs (1st EP bought as have many cats IRL), Get Together (as i read reviews re the world and 100% true it is by far one of the VERY BEST worlds ever), City Living (Ditto to GT), Cottage Living (daughter suggested it - have not yet played in world or with animals), Eco Living (for the dumpster lol), Snowy Escape (absolutely love this pack! - world, CAS, build, gameplay all 100%), Island Living ( also not played much), Seasons (obviously - wish more worlds had SNOW as winter is my favorite season in game - wish we could make just winter longer), Horse Ranch (just bought in latest sale mainly due to watching Satch's funny lets play) May Buy: Get To Work & Get Famous Dont Ever Want: University, High School, Growing Together, For Rent, Love Struck. Mainly due to Reviews of Glitches - Hate Idea of Love Struck, Uni and High School. If I ever get any of these would be For Rent and Growing Together Will definitely get Life & Death but am sad re many omissions especially SNOW. The afterlife has to have snow IMO.

The way my whole family said "Whaaaat?!" when you gave it a 9/10 for gameplay. For pretty much every category, we were like, "That's not a great score, but it's high for Satch." And then that one. And you wholeheartedly recommending it at the end? I was excited about this pack, but nervous about buying it because I didn't want to be let down. I feel so much better about it now. I love lilsimsie, but I know her reviews are always going to be very positive. When I'm thinking about spending my money on a pack, I want to know it's going to be good enough to not piss me off as a late adopter of any version past TS2. I have way too many kids to feed to spend money on a pack that sucks.

[@natalie6061]

I think the snow thing was either laziness or poor design decisions, rather than running out of development time. Considering a modder came in and added snow within the first 1-2 days of release.

[@gabrielandy9272]

it was a design decision, probally because they do this already for worlds that they consider "Special" like occult worlds.

[@allforoneandoneforall]

Rebirth/reincarnation is not a US thing (I'm in Canada) it is a global spiritual belief system. The Will comes in the mail that you have to wait for it to arrive then you can read it wherever, so I hope you get to experience that part soon. Sometimes bucket list include things to do that takes you of your comfort zone, my daughters in real life wanted to fly out of a plane in Australia and so they did just that, it was scary but they did it anyway. You can have pets/horse funerals you have to set it up like a sims using your pets...

[@CeceJianni]

So, as someone who prefers realistic gameplay, I actually still really enjoyed this pack. Having funerals was honestly so great for my realistic generational gameplay, and bucket lists gave me a whole new way to emotionally invest in my elder generation of my family before I let them die of old age and move to the next generation. Funerals and memorials are so great for anyone like me who gets very attached to their sims and plays with them longterm.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the sim guru's confirmed that the seasons won't change in the world because they 'designed it that way to make the world feel more otherworldly' or something along the lines of that

[@Kalolelo]

I heard that too and that he was harassed into deactivating his *X* account. I honestly think they didn’t have time or it was too much work to work it in but Satch has a point that their selling point for season was that it wouldn’t have a world because it was gonna affect all the other packs. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MangaMatti]

I am really sad about this. I love the seasons... 😢

[@dani-ell-ah]

It doesn't even feel like a permanent autumn to me. The normal part of the world looks more summer or spring. It's way too bright and green. It just looks like they didn't put any consideration into that part. I don't agree with death threats over it though.

[@Gamermom80Sims]

Sounds like an excuse to me.

[@f.airy.x]

I personally like the flamboyant male CAS given the style of this pack is meant to be over the top gothic/halloween vibes. I do think in general they need to make more average/everyday clothes for men as not everyone dresses feminine or like that. I hope in the next pack or kit or whatever they release next they put an emphasise on casual clothes and comfort. Give us sweatshirts, t-shirts, jackets that are just wearable and low effort. Even with women's CAS I feel like it's never low maintenance it always looks like we're getting ready to serve C U Next Tuesday. It's not as bad as the male CAS but I thought I would mention it. Just more low maintenance clothes all around would be great.

[@thecommentingnoodle1086]

I couldn't agree more! You can't even find a simple, basic hoodie in one solid color like black or gray, but you can easily find dozens of see-through crop tops in all sorts of flashy colors. We definitely need more low-effort clothes!

[@Raphaeltheslayer]

@ yeah I think the flashy stuff is good when your going to the club or a party or when your about to go to some witchy ritual but not on the daily that’s why cc regular clothes are so popular 😅

[@janetwebster5099]

They need a kit - like say... "Mr. Average" …..with stuff normal guys wear - Include work related clothes that say a construction worker, call center worker, fast food worker would wear. Jeans, T shirts, hoodies, sweats, boxers, long sleeved t shirts. As for swatches as stated prev, grey, black, army green, navy, white, Walmart blue, red.....that is the typical colors offered for mass market mens clothing sold at Walmart etc. Smarter clothing is OK too, just not insane colors /styles that no average person would buy. As Satch says there is DEFINATELY a HUGE lack of regular stuff.

[@Lizziguin]

ROFLMAO "Getting railed by the grim reaper" 😂 Their CAS for this pack is definitely my all time favorite because I absolutely love macabre and gothic/alternative styles. I love that they did add pieces that could easily be used for a more casual/professional look and not strictly on the gothic side. Again the male stuff is lacking but it's not the absolute worst, in my opinion even though they do recycle a lot of meshes from other content that is already in the game. Their build/buy isn't necessarily one of my favorites but I still love it overall. The build content specifically needed just a little more when it comes to wallpapers, exterior, landscaping and flooring content. They are definitely mix matching the build/buy with intention for you to get other packs to get a more cohesive theme and matching theme. The gameplay for this pack actually seems like it'll take some time to get done and completed and some of it continues when you're alive or after death, like the bucket list. I hate that I will most likely get back into playing the game again because of this pack LOL. I want to leave EA and their bs behind but then they pull this crap LOL.

[@mirimariana]

Yeah, i think the sims team just really likes playing dress up. 😅

[@mjacwest]

Instead of having the seperate masculine and feminine CAS items, maybe they should just make proper versions of every outfit for both body types and you can choose between. Like now of course you can wear either but most outfits look weird and the textures are all stretched out when you try to use it on the opposite body type. Then they can make all the dresses and feminine clothes to be available for either, instead of randomly throwing a dress in for masculine bodies. And of course add more masculine fashion for both body types. I'd love more masculine clothes for my feminine bodied sims too. But yeah we definitely need more casual masculine style clothing.

[@honinakecheta601]

For me it was OKAY, it’s definitely better the previous packs but that’s like comparing something average to something awful. I think it also depends on if you’re interested in this kind of pack, the grim reaper job got boring after a while.

[@b4rs629]

Pretty much all the active / semi active careers are boring after the 1st playthrough + they don't pay much compared to staying at home and crafting creative works or other at home money making skill sets. Writing & media production are so damn awesome for passive income... I had 1 super sim spam I maxed out all the skills with + /w max needs spam books out... I was earning almost 100k in a day. Video game game streaming is also broken as hell when you don't have needs. The most op way to make money is by relationship / gold digging other sims and abandon them once they join your house hold. Careers are too much work especially when you factor in building all the skills / go to uni for the increase bonus / get fame for extra fast career progression > then spam all the carreers to max.

The gameplay gets boring and stale after a while, and you spend more time building and decorating more than anything else.

The Hallowed ground trait in my game made the house lights flicker or go out, created cold spots in the house that my sims would react to, and sometimes these weird cracks would appear that you can get collectables out of. I saw one of the Guru's comment on X that this world is in an eternal autumnal state, like time has stopped. It's supposed to lend to the spooky vibe.

[@tinytigertamer]

I’ve really been enjoying this pack so far! My current sim is a vegetarian vampire (she only eats plasma fruit) who wants to be a mortician, but only after she becomes a famous writer. I’m also going to have her fall in love with a mortal and have to reckon with watching her beloved die. My only complaint so far is that the bucket list is a bit broken. I added four items to the list, and for some reason items will sometimes randomly complete automatically. Like one item was to visit 4 city living festival. I had my sim go to one festival and the bucket list item was marked complete. Also several items on the list randomly disappeared without completing.

The hallowed ground trait could have brought something very interesting and maybe Hocus pocusy, where zombies could potentially sprout from the ground and terrify sims, or spellcasters(witches) can’t set foot there otherwise they’d turn to stone (new spellcaster only death?) Ghosts are both under utilised and overdone in sims4. We could have had a different occult and world of the dead with skeletons and dead sims like Corpse Bride 😊 also this pack is called ‘LIFE and death’, shouldn’t there be a second live career where you can grant sims who ask for babies to get pregnant perhaps? plus I love how all this looks but dunno if I want to get it because I dunno if many great mods would become obsolete, and not in a good way like we don’t need them anymore, but more in a ‘keeping both options is breaking the game way’..

[@Dirantasy]

The lot trait can drop the temperature, give the spooky decoration moodlet and sometimes there are strange magical rifts in the ground., If you stick your hand into it, you can find treasure! I think there is some other stuff as well.

[@leilav2976]

I will say there are nowhere near enough bucket list items! Your SIM ends up having to do a vast majority of the bucket list items to finish their soul's journey, even the ones that don't fit with your sim.

[@io5023]

I think they did a great job highlighting architecture styles that are traditionally Romanian (neo-brâncovenesc and old countryside bungalows) even tho in reality communist blocks dominate Romanian cities. I’m glad they chose not to highlight brutalist architecture because it’s ugly, uninspiring and not Romanian in origin. Also another nice touch is that in the main area there are houses with windows that look like eyes just like in Sibiu:)

[@SimmerAdelina]

@@io5023 yess, as I said a few objects do in fact reassemble but then I looked at the mass of the other objects and sadly dont really match 😣 And around the world I did see the “neo - brancovesc” style, that’s why I said its a bit similar.

7:05 i agree 100% They definitely try to have two quite different styles in expansion packs, generally speaking, and you can somewhat see it in this EP too, but its definitely not quite enough and they always seem to pump the BB catalogue with random things no one really uses like the bars, for example. I believe that, as for Expansion Packs, it should always come with a full kitchen set (including appliances and dining table), probably two full bedroom sets (including desks), full bathroom set and a full living room set. Should also always have at least one flooring and one wallpaper. If they are making an EP, you would think there would be enough to fill all these categories, right?! Same goes for CAS, it should be possible to create outfits for almost all if not all categories. The only category i can see this pack not working is sports wear, all others shouldnt be difficult. Overall everything does look really cool and this EP is exactly the type of pack id love, but i wont be able to get it until its on sale. I just cant justify full price. Id rather get two EPs at 50% off, than buy anything full price. Btw, i dont think the windows are for a greenhouse, but for a conservatory, which i believe is more of a fancy dining/living room, not a garden room. Think, more like rich persons sun room 😅
