Expansion packs enriched the game in a meaningful way, whilst the Stuff packs where just for those who wanted to spend extra money on some niche items. Nowadays, Sims is nothing _but_ Stuff packs.

[@erinhammo9291]

As someone who has ALL the Sims 4 DLC, here's my take: If you feel as though you can get your money's worth then it is worth it. However, you have to actively explore the packs and decide if each and every one will have use. There are very few packs I regret buying (My First Pet, Luxury Party, Batuu, a couple others) but overall I enjoy at least a single item in every one. ALSO UNDERSTAND YOUR GAMEPLAY. If you don't like gameplay but love building, then sometimes the kits don't seem pricey because you'll be using them so often. Consider how you want to play, how often you play, and whether or not you'd have fun. That being said, the kits are a scam.

[@cactuspulp]

This is a very insightful comment. I have only purchased packs that have appealed to me and after a decent amount of research that I would enjoy what they add. I am much more likely to purchase a game pack compared to stuff packs or kits because I tend to prioritize gameplay over building and some CAS items. Totally about how you play.

Mods go a long way. There are a few that are basically necessary imo cuz they expand the emotions, traits, etc. Like the modders go hard lol. For example, there's a pregnancy mod with hospital stuff and everything. So it's a cool mod for players that want a sprinkle of realism when playing. Like ya know making your Sims go to paternity classes and do yoga and all that. Some people like storytelling like that. For traits specifically ya can add new traits and expand the amount of traits ya can equip. Another one would be Vampires. Werewolves just came out and Vampires is showing its age imo. So there's a decent amount of Vampire mods that can alleviate that. Obviously there are sadder occult bits in the game. Aliens and Mermaids basically have no content and are probably assured to get a rework or something eventually. Edit: Like the Highschool stuff coming soon is probably gonna have shallow bits and all that jazz. So personally I just have high expectations for the mods that will add onto it. It's why agree that ya should avoid spending a lot on the game. Buy on a chunky sale, look up which dlc is decent and which you shoild ignore or... ya know 😉 Like I don't support piracy in most cases but I do think sometimes it can be pretty valid tbh. For example, game preservation.

[@SlightlyFizzled]

The Sims 4 may fall short in just about every aspect when it comes to gameplay, but building and character creation have been extremely refined (minus the performance heavy create-a-swatch), and the mod scene is better than ever, with content that far surpasses official expansions. For creative types, it's an even better "doll house simulator" than the Sims 3. Personally, I miss the gameplay of the older games too much to be entirely on the side of Sims 4. It still lacks that rewarding feeling.

[@gribberoni]

I think the best doll house simulator was the one with the sus guy

[@GHOST5800000]

Only thing I can say in defense of 4 is that removing the open world makes it so way more people can actually play the game (think of how many people couldn't even play 3 cause it was terribly optimized and loaded an entire map at all times, or they couldn't run 3 but still played, experiencing the entirety of the game on like 3 frames per second) and also the way the sims can actually interact with each other/multitask like eating, watching tv and talking to Sims all at the same time. Those systems are improved and nobody ever mentions it and its not very fair for S4, yes the launch was awful and its still not a 10/10 Sims experience but its way better now and there are a few advancements in gameplay systems that everyone over looks because "Boo hoo wah wah no more open world ;(" Only things I do miss really are cars/bikes, and the create a style system should have been brought back.

The new pastime for Sheogorath is to keep getting people to buy all the packs with hope there's something worth it coming eventually. Thank you for your sacrifice and get the coin back

[@viren_jalkun]

Sitting here and just realized EA should recreate the Sims 3 to be OPTIMIZED. That will clearly never happen though. Would be so much Nostalgia ;o;

[@tripodranger7873]

What's even nuttier is that some of the dlc in this game isn't even as fully-featured as the equivalent from 3. I can't remember anything specifically off the top of my head, unfortunately.

Yes, we sentence the KZbinr/Basement Dweller named Micky D to play more of Sims 4!

I sincerely hope this video makes it's money back and if it doesn't you can always make more Sims 4 videos.

[@DBswag_]

Personally I enjoy playing the Sims 4 every now & then however I agree that the main game without DLC feels very bare bones. With DLC the game is more fun. I especially like the Vampire pack as I love to roleplay as a Vampire in games any chance I get, yes I'm talking about you Skyrim. I totally agree with Micky D's point about EA & their extortionate amount of DLC, as well as how much they charge for it. I remember buying the Cats & Dogs DLC for my sister for her birthday about 4 or 5 years ago & it was like £40 or something! I mean I could've bought a full game for that price. She barely even played it too, to add insult to injury... Anyway I appreciate you trying to educate us on how not to spend our money Mick D my boy but don't feel you need to do something like this again for a while. We'll be more than happy with a few more Morrowind, Harry Potter & James Bond videos, I'm sure. On a side note, what is it with Irish KZbinrs making tits outta mountains?

[@AbsoluteLambda]

Unironically, the ONLY time i ever got anything from the sims 3 point shop was with the 1000 points you get by registering the game

[@julianviktoredstrm932]

You are a hero, Micky! We will never depriciate your brave sacrifice!

[@Samevistan]

You’d make your money’s worth if you made a series. I’ve always been interested in what the game would really look like with every dlc.

[@brimbusjones6218]

Yeah, I feel this. I've done the same-ish. Haven't bought all the dlcs, but I did invest a good chunk of change into it... I just...I wanna like the game. I do. But it just feels like it's missing something...

Todd Howard casting magic all the time isn't nearly as annoying as making a werewolf in CAS. Every two seconds the stupid thing will howl!

[@variaxi935]

For the record, a big part of why I started watching you is because your voice and comments often remind me of CallMeKevin... and my favorite series of his is the Sims games. I think you'd gain massively from playing the Sims relatively often- you can be very goofy with it.

[@mommalion7028]

Me too 😅 I stopped watching Kevin we he started using tons of mods buy those early videos are gold

[@Doctor_strange_]

You made Tod a spellcaster that’s why there’s magic when you randomized the character using the lightbulb which is sims people made themselves and the one you used was a spellcaster/wizard

[@spaceonisorceress4406]

@@hycynth82828 They have like $500 worth of it, most of which is quite tiny, including DLC for DLC. It is absolutely indefensible and designed to prey upon people with impulse control problems. As somebody with impulse control problems, I avoid all EA games as a matter of safety.

@@spaceonisorceress4406 ​ @Zachary Damascus I am so not deffending it tho, I pirated everything, however i don't think any video made by someone who has no knowledge on the game is a good source of information to decide to get it or not, it's good to get a laugh, but to make an actual decision, believe there are TONS of players who can tell you why you should not get the game and why it's so bad, but giving this as an example is just a bad impression because some of the stuff he mentions aren't even a reasons since you can change them IN the game

[@hycynth82828]

@@spaceonisorceress4406 you can get actual criticism from people who can actually explain what each DLC has and why it's bad or not. A video of someone actually only used base game and Batuu is not a good reference, I would recommend as told by kenya videos if you wanna hear a player ripping them apart even tho I don't agree with everything she says

[@averymorrison3906]

Wow, the amount of inherently stripped-out features from the Sims 3 as a result of predatory practices from EA has really put me off this game. Thanks, Micky D! (No but seriously thank you for sacrificing your five hundred euros)

[@catsareevil]

Tip: when your game is suddenly laggy, like at 25:28, press esc. This helps most of the time

[@Booza23]

I would honestly love a full series of this game. Might as well get some more videos out of it now that you have all of that DLC lol

I respect modders that manage to fix/optimize/improve games. But it seems like negatively training a dog, companies realize they can release broken unfinished games knowing the unpaid community will fix it

They really should have made Journey to Batuu a stuff pack the 10 dollar ones compared to dream home decorator it falls extremely short.

If you get severe lag in TS4, saving the game fixes it, at least for me. But with seasons, you may need to turn off weather, that will help prevent severe lag.
