LGR - The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Review

⁠​⁠@@yaobikuni1349I have extreme doubts Paralives ever comes out in any meaningful way and ultimately suffers from scope creep. While Life By You has an actual release date and funding to give some confidence.

[@SyntheticGoth]

Modders found coding for horses as early as Cats & Dogs, and the world had a style that looked like it was meant to include them. There's also a unicorn object in the debug menu. It's pretty clear that developers have intentions of including a lot more features in these packs, but they are on such a strict deadline, they can't complete them in time and are told to put them in another pack and tie a pretty bow around it. The piecemealing is actually laughable and quite sad.

[@phpacos12]

It is not just deadline. Is the intention of milking the customer for as much expansions as possible, so they are restricted to not put to much content in just one expansion. It is not deadline, it's just greed.

[@Unapologeticweeb]

isnt it fun working for ea?

[@nessamillikan6247]

Kind of a shame that you see the teams were working on including horses earlier in Cats & Dogs, but the bonehead higher ups gave them a stricter deadline to ensure that no more content than the bare minimum be added to any 1 expansion pack. If these expansions were $20, then I'd buy into that (still as expensive as $20 is for what you get). I have never, and absolutely will never, pay $40. If they're going to strictly limit the content that they put into these things, why shouldn't we set the top dollar we're willing to spend on them?

[@ejfiewfeuihefwiuwe]

Deadlines is one thing though it is more on the lines of upper management wanting to milk as much money as possible they know horses and farm life are pretty popular in The Sims which is why they are milked for all they are worth

[@seoulpurpose]

I appreciate that LGR keeps reviewing Sims stuff, even as the channel has moved away from Game Reviews content. I love the current direction of the channel best, but I also get weirdly excited about new Sims pack reviews because it feels kind of nostalgic, ironically

I want to add that if it ever reaches a point when it's such an absolute joyless chore that he genuinely hates it, he should stop. My 10 minutes of glee about hearing that the new chairs just ain't worth it aren't worth turning the whole thing into a slog. I'm hoping that the idea he suffers through these is a 'bit' at least in part. The joy he feels at retro tech is the bit that feels genuine, and that's the infectious mood I love the most.

@@shayne87 Ever heard of a monopoly? People that have grown to like life simulation games most likely grew up playing the older sims games and even though EA is still doing this greedy stuff, these old fans will still buy the game despite that. There's a reason that Life by You and Paralives are being propped up currently, competition. Competition, if it poses a large enough threat to profits, usually forces a company to innovate and try new things. That of which, EA currently has no intention of doing so since they've hit a gold mine with the Sims after obtaining Maxis.

The horses are built on human sim-logic. My daughter showed me a video she took of her horse glitching and walking upright on its hind legs and its animation was identical to how the human sims walk.

[@queencleopatra007]

The cats and dogs glitch out like that sometimes as well. My sim was on fire, and their dog stood upright to panic and grab the fire extinguisher. It was funny the first few times, but after 6 years, it's just annoying that it was never patched.

[@incognitoburrito6020]

Into the Future is my least favorite sims 3 expansion, but even then, I felt like I could still play with it for a while. This... ehh

[@ausommet]

genuinely thank you for doing these reviews out of your own pockets. I've reached the point in my sims life where even the packs i'm *interested* in i usually pass on simply because i am exhausted from the blatant nickel & diming of the players. not sure whether it's due to deadlines or greed (or both) but the result for me has been genuine apathy for this series that i used to leave open on my PC for days at a time because i didn't want to lose any playing time to having to load the game up (i know, not good for the health of the PC lmao but that was like 10 years ago!) sigh. this series NEEDS some quality competition to humble EA. their success is one of lack of competition, clearly not product quality

[@-._.-KRiS-._.-]

Not only that, I've found that I have to go out and find other players' neighborhood builds just to have neighborhoods that look and function better. That shouldn't be something seen as necessary by players but EA builds their neighborhoods with the barest of bones and sometimes really weird architecture that sims can't even access.

[@agbook2007]

I loved the puns and the existential angst, LGR. Well done. Also good job breaking the game with goats... 🤣

[@MissEmmzy_]

I have been watching your Sims videos for years and I will never not get excited when I see you upload a new ones🤣

[@TemporalEnd]

The only review that matters. I always like to wait for a review here before I even consider buying

[@katy8605]

then you'll probably never get to buy anything because every review here will tell you it's not worth it 😆

[@fishkingoftheaquarium7605]

​@katy8605 and he's not wrong

[@katy8605]

@@fishkingoftheaquarium7605 Depends on people's play styles I think. For me because I do play it a lot, $40 for something I'm getting a lot of use out of seems reasonable. If someone's only likely to play it a week or two and then not touch it again it's not worth it at all.

[@leifang1211]

This expansion is really content that should have been in Cats and Dogs or Cottage Living. Horses to be fair could be an entire expansion pack on their own, but you need more than this. A riding school option would have been nice. Teaching your horse to pull a cart perhaps. More active horse events like horse racing, show jumping and dressage etc where the player actually has some control beyond skill levels to win. Once again. EA have provided the bare minimum. It should be half the price that it is.

[@jeor1298]

Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice, Clint! Yours is the only sims 4 content I bother with lol

[@Spacemonkey907]

I could watch LGR Sims videos for hours. I LOVED his Sims 3 videos.

[@Ojref1]

I never thought LGR would do a Ram Ranch episode, but somehow he managed to make it family friendly.

[@LarsonFilms2]

[@pennymichaels7449]

It's been so many years since I bought a sims 4 game. I check maybe twice a year on the franchise to see if it's improving depth of gameplay, and it never is. I always look forward to your reviews though and other videos on your channel which I really enjoy. Particularly the teddy bear computer one, I thought that was such a fun video. I'm hopeful that someday we can all enjoy the sims again, but I'm doubtful. Thank you for always being honest though, and I really enjoy your sense of humour and how genuine you come across in these videos. It's a nice breath of fresh air in the youtube landscape💗

[@ciarah11]

“Cabbage living farm life pack” 😂 hilarious. I love seeing LGR reviews.

[@nicolettabraun6256]

I just wanted to say, that I have been watching your Sims Videos for at least 4 or 5 years and I love them. I dont watch any other content from you but always come back for your sims videos!

[@aljwham]

Your reviews are the best as it's honesty and you're not being paid by them.

[@kiki18j2]

The only channel I trust to give a full review Sims 4 packs. Thanks LGR!

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

As soon as LGR says " Canadian tuxedo pack" I just laughed as a Canadian and a grandson of a clothing tailor this is joke is on point xD

[@Wurmze]

Thank you, you’re the only reviewer I would trust to give an accurate review of sims packs. I think I’ll be getting this one but as always not without a sale. I waited four years and got the base game for free I’m not paying full price for any of this nonsense XD

[@Level8Gazebo]

Thank you LGR for always adding subtitles and for injecting the extra humor that can only come in text format. :D

[@MisterGoofy]

I miss the Sims 2 era... No overpriced dlc no microtransactioms awsome gameplay and soundtrack...

[@PetarAndrejic]

Let's not let nostalgia get too far lol, the gameplay and soundtrack were far better sure but EA was up to its shenanigans even back then. Don't forget stuff packs started with sims 2, and it had 8 expansions and 9 stuff packs, neither of which were cheap by the standards of the time

[@devttyUSB0]

The yellow horse with purple 'WHY' was my fave. 🤣

[@UsulPrincess]

I was looking for this! 😂

[@Mo0shii]

all out of others good people here on yt, your the genuine one you come without the ''show'', you deserve more views n more subs, really.

[@PoolGyall5441]

Can't wait for the my first horse stuff and 3 horse ranch themed kits to go along with this!

[@ababab28]

I freaking love every time you do these videos. PLEASE keep doing them as long as they keep schlocking them out! thanks for your service ;)

[@LaurenTheorist]

I miss when packs were 40 dollars in Canada. They decided to charge us American a couple years ago so now each expansion pack costs over 60 dollars with tax.

[@guguy00]

Jesus. Here in Singapore they just charged us $50 SGD. Including tax. And our currencies are pretty much identical. Man you guys got screwed.

[@isyoursheepwireless]

As always, the only trustworthy sims reviewer on youtube

[@IRWPD]

Now that The Sims 4 is free to play. Don't see these expansion stopping any time soon.

[@estelladee]

Your honesty and candidness to these reviews sets you apart from everyone else that says "if you like horses then buy this pack". Your summary starting form 11:05 is so spot on. That is why your reviews will always be the best objectively. Also you really are a very good writer. Funny but no nonsense.

[@meowmocha12]

"No nonsense"... Except when he made a ridiculous-looking horse, broke his save with goats... 😂

[@LaurenTheorist]

I look so forward to LGR's Sims videos. I miss Ralph, though.

[@chychy7559]

I always smile when I see a new LGR sims review. The pain he endures for us while making these just brings a smile to my face 😃

[@kevnar]

I burst out laughing when that foal had "WHY" painted on him. lmao! Thanks for the amusement.

[@claresmiddy]

Still one of the most refreshingly truthful reviewers of sims content

[@NuclearDystopia]

immediately laughing to myself seeing lgr had to review another sims expansion lmao

[@Archangelm127]

The bit with the zillion goats was worthy of Let's Game It Out. 🤣

[@familyofparsons5354]

Thanks for continuing to review these even though you interest in it isnt what it used to be. For those who still play it and count on your reviews it really means a lot. I always look forward to hearing your honest opinion on the packs that come out. I know that as a regular simmer I look forward to any new content and things to do but for you, i totally get being sick of doing the same thing over and over. You doing this for people like me watching is something i am just really grateful for. :)

[@guillermomasipgamerhd2137]

The nectar making it is returning from The Sims 3 World Adventures in this pack

[@chrismeryportorreal8233]

I love LGR's reviews!!! Always so authentic!

[@thejackal007]

Ah, the legendary DUKE GOES WEST outfit. Love it! Does sound like this needed a bit more coffee than normal... There's something about the phrase "adopt a janky, used horse" that definitely sets off alarms...

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

It’s funny I am getting addicted to your videos today. I have legacy play going after redownloading Sims 2 (Mac) not too long ago and have been considering getting Sims 4 as well now that it’s in a better place then initial release and I feel like I can pick and choose my packs and wait on some sales. But the main reason I want to download it is some of the cool mods that exist now. I am realizing I really like your pack reviews, even your old ones, because you ACTUALLY talk about gameplay and don’t spend forever on the CAS and Build/Buy of the packs. It’s much appreciated as I consider my investments in this game. Unlike Sims 2, where I have desired to be a completionist with all the add ons. I am very much starting at free base game for Sims 4 and being picky about packs (like I will likely never want Batu), maybe getting a few packs I am really interested in playing over time, and then moving into the mods…but your reviews have given me the insight I need on what’s worth it for my gameplay style and what’s proably not. Cause the play after making a sim and building their house is way more important to me then CAS or Build/Buy.

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I'm never spending more money on Sims. Can't wait for life by you

[@malicious217]

I haven't liked or played The Sims in years.... But I will continue to watch and enjoy these videos lol

[@madstayy]

i was disappointed when i heard this was an expansion pack instead of a game pack but i knew i'd get another classic LGR review 😂

[@Emilyz1337]

I'm so happy you still do Sims reviews thank you so much!

[@smellincoffee]

Thanks, man. You're a welcome breath of cold water amid all the "EA Gamechanger" reviews that are like "oh, there's some issues but yes it's a great pack horses horses horses!"

[@thesourdino3959]

I almost thought LGR might have skipped this one considering how close it came out to the last expansion. Happy to see this, about what I expected and I'll be waiting for a sale price on this one.

[@dragonflynoire9659]

I'd like to know your thoughts on the "Life by you" Life-Sim game. I'm excited particularly because Rod Humble is involved.
