[@gabriellepariag4914]

At this point I just wish the Sims 4 had everything the Sims 3 did but with the new interface and graphics.

[@tatikay9818]

Same

[@kallemick]

Which is what the sims 3 was to the sims 2 for me

[@saltystephen5626]

Okay but let's be real. If EA did that y'all would just complain that they didn't add anything new.

[@lookupdonaldmarshall8331]

Yeah Clicking on tools is more tedious.

[@jonilind6138]

I loved Sims 4, but damn those load screens. Then I went back to Sims 3 and was like damn these expansions packs and this stuttering. Then I went to Sims 2 and was like damn this is good, but fuck this, I don't want to do groceries. And now, here I am, playing Sims.

[@KL-bc1eg]

Ok, let me get this straight. I get done from work, come home and play a game where I have to work again? Sonofab#@*tch!

[@MissWhiteHere]

😂😂

[@igormatejkowski4296]

[@anggarayaca5067]

[@RazorM97]

would be more fun added on the deluxe, but you have to buy all of them

[@karleighlouise696]

EA made this because people were wildly requesting it.

[@XUrbanSimsX]

No lie, I LOVE your voice, and your reviews! :D

[@LGR]

XUrbanSimsX Why, thank you.

[@ashleyjohansson230]

Lazy Game Reviews amazing voice u can even do Duke Nukem voice, amazing

[@unknownuser2755]

@XUrbanSimsX i love your sims 4 mods videos and your voice as well :)

[@nikthedestroyalator6796]

Its honestly like asmr

[@gigi2313]

[@nabilahamdani]

I want EA to make sims 4 get to school for uni and highschool like to this one. we get to follow the kids to school and control them at school.

[@ellasaxton7181]

There is a mod for that

[@alquizar92]

me too thats what i loved about the sims 2 coz of the university life and able to live in dorms and apartments etc. They should also do a shopping town kind of add on.

[@mer6845]

And I want that 😁👌

[@ianoliver12]

(cough) mods (cough)

[@kaelynsimmer4706]

there's actually an amazing mod for that!

[@OmgItsTania]

I'm a medical student. This was my reaction: "Swwwweeeet, a life simulation game where I can be EXACTLY like myself! Become sleep deprived and coffee dependent by playing a game where I become sleep deprived and coffee dependent!"

[@AsukaDoinHerThang]

😂😂😂😂 I enjoyed this comment

[@chanelcoco7590]

They should've added at Teacher/Professor career to this :/

[@pampursley3772]

Chanel Coco we would probably get mad at the game because of the students 😂

[@Amsayy]

Chanel Coco pretty sure they’re saving that for a university pack

[@swagit4174]

Nah these are massive already maybe in the later future

[@xTwilightWolvesx]

amsayyy You were right on the money, there.

[@kerriclark5420]

@Bubba Blackout This was commented 3 years ago

[@IsobelRoseUK]

The only thing that disappoints me is the pathetic attempt at a new neighbourhood - 4 lots, really? The original ones are already small enough!!!

[@TheNamesRJ]

Just build a shop n a resident lot. More will be added later on with patchs etc. nothing comes out with everything finished at launch

[@JaelBreton]

***** People will always expect more and will always be disappointed with what they got. They will always find faults to criticize and be annoyed with.

[@IsobelRoseUK]

***** Thank you! I still bought it and am still enjoying it, but I have the right to express my opinions, and the small neighbourhood size is one of the things that has disappointed me from the get go.

[@IsobelRoseUK]

I'd also prefer it if the new work places were in the new neighbourhood because you can't visit them unless you work there. Oh well!

[@JaelBreton]

Of course people can voice their opinions. The problem is when people take it too far and say it in such rude ways. Feedback and criticism is always welcome as long as it doesn't disrespect or insults others. People like to talk as if they know what goes on behind the scenes to animate and create this type of work. As a designer myself, I know how long it takes just to do one small detail. It takes time. And many times with these companies they don't give them enough time to do everything they can to make the game perfect so they send pieces at a time and charge full price for each. And many times great ideas aren't used or implemented because of time and budget reasons.

[@Aspen_Husky]

next expansion: get to school

[@claytonshirey]

Nope

[@Aspen_Husky]

clayton shirey its a joke

[@Sombyr]

+Kitty Plays Minecraft I could actually see this as a university expansion. Personally, the ones I'm hoping/waiting for are a university one, a generations one, and a seasons one. That, and I kinda want a night life one, but more specifically, I want one that adds a downtown neighborhood, that functions like a rather small version of an open world, where you can walk freely between 5 or 6 large venues at a time. I'm talking like, large night clubs like dance clubs and such, plazas, spas, restaurants, etc. Something that would be nice to include are outdoor activities and party areas in those areas, like the plazas I mentioned.

[@beforeisaythisimugly.7757]

I actually hope they don't just keep using "Get To" before expansion packs.

[@lehelene]

+Kitty Plays Minecraft There's a mod for that ;)

[@pushinguproses]

My Sim hates Duke Nukem Sim so friggin much.

[@theskyfoogle1511]

PushingUpRoses really? I remember a time when you both were zombie buddies? :-)

[@mousesuper20]

My sim have not meet Duke Nukem but he is cool in the coldheart kinda way or something Just imagine Duke Cop Nukem toilet seller doctor

[@LGR]

PushingUpRoses With expressions that devious, is it any wonder you arouse suspicion in Detective Nukem?

[@kaylamatthews4470]

,

[@doramilitiakatiemelody1875]

My sims Likes Duke Nukem so fucking much

[@justice4pixels]

You have become my go to guy for all things Sims related. Thanks for what you do.

[@LGR]

Nene Wiggins You are quite welcome.

[@deuxausten8654]

Nene Wiggins Do you know Ender Wiggin? Oh, you have that "s" at the end...

[@S1ndle]

They should've added a Lawyer career to defend or prosecute the inmates.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Discover University addressed that issue. But it's sadly not a fully active career.

[@WolfanTerror]

Has anyone else noticed how in and hip The Sims 4 is trying to be? I mean, selfie's, 'troll teh fourms', find memes?

[@ianoliver12]

They obviously want a reason for people to actually buy the game. Heh. Heh. Heh.

[@xghostgaming9279]

Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing tbh

[@irvinmaddox9247]

Yeah, it's one of those things that's going to make the game seem dated in a few years. Unlike the previous games that didn't try so hard.

[@WolfanTerror]

Irvin Maddox Yeah, at first I thought it had come with a mod I'd installed. But nope, of course its from the actual game

[@irvinmaddox9247]

It's cringe worthy when Sims games try to be hip. I played TS3 university life recently and had second hand embarrassment when one of the sims had started doing the 'Gangnam style' dance.

[@pulseofme6884]

Great review LGR! Looks like ill be buying this. Though the pricing really sucks, i really wish EA would stop over charging. $40 is abit outrages, I really think these expansions should go down to atleast $25.

[@papamamailuvu]

it's already at 30 bucks for sale at amazon.

[@Wobbey363]

MYTHΩLΩGY 92 That's exactly how I felt about Diablo 3's Reaper of Souls expansion. The base game is already $40, but then they want you to drop that same amount on a expansion that doesn't nearly justify it's $40 asking price.

[@BrownHatFilms]

MYTHΩLΩGY 92 this is why i waited a while to buy sims 3 expansions

[@Lolleren686]

Mr. Biggles Oh.. In Denmark Sims 4 Standard edition costs about 75$ and Sims 4 Get to work costs about 45$ :D So it is still cheaper for you, my friend :P But I agree ^.^

[@Gross126]

It's 50% off right now

[@lemon-zf3eo]

New expansion pack: The Sims 4: Not A Lot Of Loading Pack

[@Jaysen6740]

Buy a seagate sshd and problem solved. 100.00. Best gaming investment I ever made. Cut my load times by about 75%. And no this isn't spam. I'm being for real.

[@dernachname1685]

"The Sims 4 is still a platform tht holds a lot of promise, even though it's not quite there yet. To me this expansion is an examplecof what brilliance may lie beneath that shell of initial disappointment." Well, 75 stuff packs later we're left wondering when that initial disappointment is going to fade away

[@psycholove]

Meh, any hate in todays age for Sims 4 is just straight up haters of sims 4. They've fixed nearly every single problem people had, to the point the only issues are much smaller. You know its better when people are complaining about spiral staircases and cars.

[@Gaxriel]

@@psycholove Yeah, they fixed them, you just need to pay 600$

[@MischievousMischief]

@@Gaxriel Lol. And even then you need new content every 3 months because the gameplay gets boring (which is probably EAs plan to make more money).

[@Gaxriel]

@@MischievousMischief Exactly!

[@destinysands7188]

@@psycholove That is true. In the beginning, EA alienated a lot of people because of the missing toddlers and pools among other things but now, with all the DLC and the new big update, I can not see how sims 3 is better than sims 4 ( both with all their expansion pack). At this point, you either love the game or you hate it and that is that.

[@LGR]

Wellington Santos I actually like most of their expansions! It's mainly the nickel-and-diming of their smaller DLC packs that usually blow. $45 towns can suck it for eternity.

[@nlks100]

Lazy Game Reviews EA use to make good expansions. Sims 2 expansions were amazing. We use to expect the best from them. Now we can't even expect the basics from these sims guru fools. Sims franchise needs competition ASAP! The team that brought us city skylines should make a life simulation game. It would put the current sims team to SHAME.

[@nlks100]

Untrustedlife Yeah lets just praise EA and give them all our money for making a game that can't even compete with sims 2. Keep eating up their flop 4 vomit. They are killing the franchise with their laziness and lack of talent and you are just providing them with money and incentive to continue doing so. I honesty cannot think of a SINGLE game franchise where the team can JUSTIFY releasing a game that lacks mechanics that were fully coded and functional in a game they released a decade ago. These guru fools can't even code a door locking mechanism. I mean seriously...don't even try to give us the excuse that it is difficult to code. It is their fault that they chose an engine that is difficult to code. Stop trying to cover up the fact that you have no talent or ability to code. You'd think after the sims 3 coding disaster, they would have learned from their mistakes. BUT NO these high school dropout gurus continue to provide hilarious fails for our entertainment. Just when you thought the "gurus" couldn't mess it up anymore, they surprise us with fails that flop harder than a whale falling into the ocean from an airplane.

[@nlks100]

Untrustedlife "Also the game is pretty damn pretty on my machine" The delusion is strong in this one. Have you seen the textures in the game? There are standards for a next generation game you know?

[@nlks100]

Untrustedlife "sims 4 has a coherent art style" - tablet free to play art style. LOL.

[@Oopsbaby]

I feel like they really missed out on this pack, there were careers like chef, teacher, politician etc. that could have been so much fun and honestly they should have just included Dine Out in the pack because I don't personally feel like it was worth being it's own game pack :/

[@leeleeb7413]

Well, Cats and Dogs came out, then My First Pet stuff came out. EA gives no fucks.

[@cheezewheel]

I'm excited to try it when it's cheaper. I'm kinda cheap lately, haha

[@immortalfrieza]

I'm doing the same. I'm not getting either the base game or any expansions until there's a fairly inexpensive pack deal available. It's ridiculous that these expansions cost almost as much as the base game but don't provide even 1/10th the content, most of which was in the previous Sims games expansion packs anyway.

[@OdaSwifteye]

The key is to get the combo deal. Get both the base and the expansion of your favorite for half the price of the single copy of either. You'll be waiting for awhile but it's worth the wait. Any smart purchase is worth the wait.

[@chance757]

It's on sale for 27 and some change on instant gaming. I've never bought anything from there, I just saw it in an earlier comment and decided to go look. It's true!!!

[@AlyD23]

Caleb Hiebert I got it on CD keys for £19.00, good deals on there

[@OdaSwifteye]

***** Why would you have bought the base game before now? Especially after LGR's review? I mean you can't be a fan and a smart consumer? Like I said, you wait for the price to drop and for combo deals to arrive. That way you get a two for one deal. It doesn't matter who it's for if you want to save money that's what you do.

[@veryberry39]

Anyone remember the premade family in Sims 2 (I think it was 2 brothers?), and it was set up so that as soon as you start playing their house, one of them gets abducted by aliens? He came back pregnant, and I did not want an alien baby so I just facerolled a name (which wasn't much of a faceroll, I guess, since it came out as "Alala"). At first, I was about to let child services come take her. But I got weirdly attached to her, and eventually she had a family of her own. And then my computer died, and I lost allll my families. Yes, over 10 years later I'm still upset by this memory. lol

[@robertbonds6680]

It was the curious household and no it wasn’t 2 it was more than 2 brothers

[@DiscoTimelordASD]

I play Laslo, Pascal and Vidcund Curious as a legacy family :) I have Sims 1-3 on disc.

[@Jimboola]

So just to clarify... 1. Just the NEW jobs get to GTW right? 2. Scientists get to go to other worlds...NOT Astronauts? 3. Detectives travel around to do their 'work'. So this becomes a loading-screen-fest right? Thanx in advance.

[@LGR]

Jimboola 1. Yes. "Active careers" do what I described they did in the video :) 2. Scientists can, astronauts can, anyone can. 3. It does indeed become a loading screen-fest. Again, as I mentioned in the video it really exacerbates that problem.

[@Jimboola]

Lazy Game Reviews Thank you for the clarification.

[@DirtyReaper]

If this was on sims 3 be sweet

[@nugsboodlepoo]

I think this is the best pack sims 4 has put out by far. It has twice as much content as other Sims 4 expansions. I loved rebuilding the hospital, police station, and laboratory and then actually getting to follow my Sims there to work. I wish more careers like this would have been added as more expansions came out. I've had a lot of fun with retail stores over the years. I've made antique shops, clothing stores, hand-made furniture stores, bakeries, flower shops, and when Realm of Magic came out I made a magic shop. You can get really creative because you can sell anything and creativity is so essential with sandbox games. I also loved the Astronaut career and I was totally shocked the first time I discovered Sixam.

[@AISLEtv]

The game lacks a sense of warmth and fun and creativity. The Sims 4 would be a GREAT addition had it looked and felt familiar. It has this Happy-Go-Lucky Stepford Wives feel that makes my skin crawl, and also makes me a bit angry because there isnt a sense of normalcy mixed in with the craziness. It lacks the sense of realism we would think the game would implement by now. Even the soundtrack is lacking....

[@catpower1811]

Agree 110%

[@Siabeysment]

Sims 3 to me lacks warmth too. Sims 2 was great and made you feel like you're really part of the experiences.

[@Sengial]

+Jakarri King Yep. 100% agree

[@holy8782]

Didn't play the Sims 2 on the PC. Played it on the console. But the direct control is what I loved about the Sims 2. It made me felt that I was my sim and not some invisible god telling them what to do.

U probably dont remember u wrote this comment or u just dont use this account anymore:(

[@jarmakey1]

Unfortunately I was one of the people that didn't have much of a desire to see my sim at work, and never really played with Open for business or the interactive work in Ambitions, so sims 4 is still "meh" for me. Now if they release a generations-esque pack with toddlers, better life stages,open schools and a shit ton of items for everyone, the sting of betrayal may yet be soothed. As someone who plays with big families on 90% of my saves, I'm still very pissed about that. I want the privilege of hiring a nanny so I can ignore the brats dammit! I do like baking though, so bonus. The only stores I opened with Open for Business sims 2 and in sims 3 were home bakeries. Are there home businesses with this one?

[@LGR]

jarmakey1 There are no home business, to my knowledge. You need a cash register to open a business, and that's only available if the lot is marked as a "retail lot". My understanding is that the way around this is to build home items on the retail lot and just live there, but you'll still be technically living away from home. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

[@kaycees.9613]

Lazy Game Reviews That is correct :) The only issue right now is the fact we don't have lockable doors yet and customers can roam around and end up watching your TV and what not in your "home" area. And if you have other Sims in your family they won't automatically come to the retail lot when they get home from work/school/etc. They will go to whatever home lot you have. I plan on having my Sim live at their store to make things easier on myself,so I am going to move her to a empty lot. I'm doing this because you'll still get bills even if you are living on your retail lot full time that would need to be paid by going to the home lot but if you don't have a house on the lot,who cares if the power and water get shut off :P

[@jarmakey1]

***** I still hope they can add it. I'm finally enjoying the benefits of a dedicated gaming computer and mods that stabilize my game, so I'm not in any rush to get the sims 4. I can wait.

[@jarmakey1]

KayCee Munchkin Cat A pity about the no home businesses. Sims 2 time freeze kinda scared me off community lot businesses and they didn't work well in the sims 3. Don't the sims bug you to go home when you leave your home for too long like in sims 3? Or can you truly live at work?

[@ebiebyrd6520]

jarmakey1 You can live at your business. Watch Sims 4, Get To Work Rags to Riches video by The Sim Supply. It proves you can tweak your way into having a business that you can also live there.

[@krysalis]

I love this expansion, but one thing they forgot: Allowing random burglars to break into your house from time to time, and then the detectives coming.

[@kyleweasel]

Screw the jobs, the chairs is the only important part of this expansion.

[@joshuavazquez7760]

we need to add auto mechanics bc they could do soo much with this career like fixing/upgrading ur car, having to do maintenance, ect like this could be one of the best careers and also add all the sims games jobs into 4

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Technically Sims 3 Ambitions had more jobs.

[@justinchinar7653]

GhostStylus true, but these jobs are a bit more polished and fun imo

[@danial6492000]

GhostStylus These jobs in get to work are more detailed than the ones in ambitions. for example in ambitions you had a tattoo parlor career which you just go to create a sim and stick a fake tattoo on a sim.

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

I used the word technically. I didn't say Ambitions had better content.

[@danial6492000]

oh... ok

[@janellescott9050]

But get to work is more hands on which makes it fun

[@CandiRabbit]

I spend more time rewatching your reviews, than actually playing the game.

[@WickedMuis]

4:25 is Pushing Up Roses? :P Nice review man! :D I have no intention to play The Sims or the expansions, but always find it fun to watch your reviews!

[@Ashleysprouse14]

I really liked this expansion pack but felt that the retail side of it was really lame and boring. It takes way to long for sims to buy things and even longer to check them out. Employees basically do nothing even if I hired the more expensive ones. They advertised bakery but sims can not even eat the baked goods in my bakery! I thought I was going to enjoy the retail side of this pack more but I ended up loving the other three careers way more

[@LGR]

Ashley Yeah, the not being able to eat in a bakery is lame. Some of the devs have talked about adding actual restaurants and cafes in the future using this system, so there's hope for the future at least.

[@EverlifeGame]

Ashley I know! It seems really dumb to sell objects you can easily buy/sell in Buy Mode, and selling craftables is super tedious.

[@zanite8650]

Sounds like real retail.

[@TtheWriter]

$40 for an expansion?! Well I guess I can't complain, I used to play WoW and got the new $50-60 expansion every year. :(

[@hayleyscomet3447]

TtheWriter truth though.

[@BooDotBoo]

I've been playing wow for a long time, when did they ever release expansions every year besides once? You mean more like every 2 years, which isn't comparable to this, at all. Sims 4 expansions are nowhere near worth the price; at least wow expansions gave you plenty to do... mostly because they fit in with the base game and the base game, itself, was good, sims 4 base game was not good and all the expansion packs don't really play well with each other, it seems.

[@boopityb00p]

@@BooDotBoo this was the first pack- They didn't know

[@fandbzgt100]

The careers are just doing the same grindy things over and over until you reach level 10. The promotions are pretty much pointless and have 0 impact in the gameplay, it's not like you can jail random sims as a cop (and the ones you actually put in prison are gone by the next time you go to work), fire others when you have a higher rank, or indirectly murder sims with misdiagnosis as a doctor (they just pass out). You can't even do plastic surgery either. I feel like this expansion was a missed opportunity, but then again I never expected much from this game and that's why I'm playing this 8 years late.

Lazy Game Reviews Thank gosh, I was pretty upset when I saw that it was a code in the physical copy of the base game. Thanks for the reply, by the way. The showcase of the new chairs in the video was by far some of your best work.

***** Sad part is they will never be able to get rid of them in the Sims 4. It's been integrated into the game so much that it's impossible to change it now without completely redesigning the base game which they'll never do.

[@ImmaPandaRawr]

***** I agree I hate all the loading screens. They had better options then what they gave us if they didn't want to do completely open world. They divided the neighborhood up into sections. They could have at least made those sections "open" and only used loading screens when you traveled to different parts/sections of the town. So in your section you could walk to your neighbors house without a loading screen but if you wanted to travel to the gym then you might get a loading screen. It would help give the illusions of open world without overwhelming older pc's. A compromise. But they didn't even do that much : /

[@samdolatshahi613]

***** That's the way Sims 4 was designed. Probably bullshit, as I think that Grahm Nardone (One of the designers) said that pools could probably never be added. So, only a matter of time, I presume? I don't really care, I just want more lots to go to! Besides, weren't lots kinda barren in Sims 3 because of the open world? I dunno.

[@alistairrainee1019]

You can mod the sims to get rid of the loading screens

[@Jerrid120]

Sad that no new aspiration or traits were added. I was looking forward to more diversity with the sims.

[@VANITYVICTORIA]

I cant believe this is what sims4 looked like 9 years ago i only been playing sims 4 for 7 years and here we are now new and improved sims

[@James97311]

i still dont get it, why doesnt all the jobs get the treatment like these new ones? and why is the new neighborhood only have 4 lots on it?

[@OdaSwifteye]

When he said that the expansion only brings to light more drawbacks he wasn't kidding.

[@cappantwan2978]

That'd probably double the size of the expansion depending on the current careers it has. But there's no excuse for that small neighborhood though. The console version of The Sims had more lots.

[@NavidIsANoob]

Capp Antwan They should've done that. It's not worth the price.

[@Zachybearchrissy]

The "neighborhood" is actually just got the retail shops. It's not really a "neighborhood"

[@honeysweethufflepuff4955]

ExtremeX because the lots are meant to be for shops

[@KyleWoolridgeGrant]

I got this yesterday (because I've been waiting forever for it to be sale at Target) and it's so FUN! My favorite part is designing and working at my own retail shops.

[@nevvyherdover4501]

Also, just wondering if you think open world will ever be a thing in Sims 4? I miss that the most, and that's why I still find myself playing sims 3 more than sims 4 at this point.

[@nevvyherdover4501]

Well, guess I won't be playing sims 4 anymore. That's a deal breaker for me.

[@tempuraroll]

Nevvy Herdover I soooo FEEL you... I love the open world... Sims 4 just makes me disappointed sometimes

[@MichaelSchiciano]

Nevvy Herdover Honestly for me, I'm okay with the compromise they have, which isn't as constrained as Sims 1 and 2, but doesn't have the insanely long loading times I sometimes had to deal with in Sims 3.

[@andreeasecreteanu6362]

So true..Just imagine how beautiful would a sims 4 open world be with those amazing graphics and lighting.. :/

[@Naomtree]

I think the neighbourhoods should be open world at least - having to have a loading screen between your house and the house next door is ridiculous!

[@HistoryTwistedInc]

3:51 That laugh was perfectly timed.

[@tobyanderson5328]

How come this is the only pack that feels like an actual expansion?

[@Narglestopia]

This and Get Together are still my favorite expansions (well I love Seasons too, but that's such a core feature that's always bound to make for a good expansion no matter the iteration).

[@loveaffect]

It doesnt feel like one to me because of the fact that it only introduces 3 new jobs and 1 where you can sell clothes . Sims 3 ambitions gave you about 8 new careers and even gave you a nice world with the lots of new objects and traits 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lma90909]

Also Seasons

[@dundee6402]

To me Get to Work feels more like a game pack. Adds some fun gameplay to discover at first but runs out dry very quickly. And Magnolia Promenade is garbage. They should honestly regrade GTW to game pack price from now on.

[@MakoBunny]

I've been watching this channel for a long time now, but this is definitely the time when I've felt the video helped me immensely. Saw the huge Origin 60% sale and GTW is $19.99 as of this comment instead of the whopping $39.99, but wasn't sure if it would be worth it to deal with the hassle of controlling the aliens or not. But looking at how much this adds helped me make that decision and add the occult extension to the command center mod

[@marichica3565]

So, they didn't add the military career? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!! WHY THE FUCK WAS IT NOT IN THE BASE GAME TO BEGIN WITH?! The military and medical careers were the only careers I would put my sims in in TS3, because they were the only careers I cared for! I don't give a shit about detectives, I want SOLDIERS!!! ...What is wrong with them?! Dammit

why should they get creative and innovative when most simmers get so excited over the same things over and over again.

[@TheTUGAfreak]

I love the way you reference other games and pop culture subtly... Here, it was Portal and i noticed in one of your other videos you referenced a Nirvana song

[@stevehonaker7]

It's good to come back and see how things use to work. Now the surgery table does not work right. Also, the scientist's constructor does not work. Also halve the time you cannot even build the rockets. This use to be my favorite game, but this money grabbing scheme they use now just sucks. To be frank! They still not have fix any of these. Crap they put out that wedding thing that was so broke. KZbin folks could not even show it. Sad. Now everyone ones getting hype for the next money grabbing scheme the (it's not called Sims 5) new sims. Yeah, they better not call it The Sims 5. I guessing folks have had enough of this money grabbing not fix bug engines by this point.

[@DiscoTimelordASD]

Horse ranch has messed up the game pretty bad with sims refusing to eat and clipping through walls😂

[@Donteatacowman]

This is so weird. It's so much content, like you're actually paying for more game. I didn't realize EA ever actually did this kind of thing in the past.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Neither did I. And while I really wish it would stop as much as the next person, I am well aware that gaming companies spoon feeding content is not going anywhere anytime soon. They need to stay in business after all. But I would appreciate it if they at least cut back on the bad habit.

[@jquiet6487]

+Ruben Makaya sure graphics and that is good but sims 4 definitely isn't better than sims 3.

[@RubenMakaya]

KawaiiBearPaws Well imo it is because i never got thr hang of the things in TS3, but when i got TS4 it felt alot easier to control things. Altough the sims 3 had open world, i disliked that because of the lag and such. The sims 4 has loading screens but i'm perfectly fine with that.

[@camille4574]

Thank you for this review! I've been playing The Sims ever since Sims 1 15+ years ago, but I deliberately didn't start playing Sims 4 until about 3 years after release so that I could take advantage of discounted packs and patches. Call me a heathen, but I kinda really like TS4 despite its flaws. Anyway, all of the reviews of this pack I read absolutely slammed it, so I avoided it until now. I had no idea how fun and immersive the careers were, and now I only regret not buying this sooner! Thank you for your balanced review :)

[@ai-spacedestructor]

people really dont thank each other enough for working. even if someone just does there job at the minimum, it means you get to use the service it provides which improves your life and people should thank for that more often. So "thanks for working" isnt as weird as a saying as it may seem, it should be more common.

[@k-leb4671]

1:10 Fifteen years of nagging? Weren't there jobs added in The Sims 3 that also allowed you to directly control your sim at work?

[@DiscoTimelordASD]

Yep. I play as a fireman and go out in the fire truck putting out fires. I tune the fire alarms and upgrade the fire truck.

[@ElizabethBarone]

Torture dungeons! 😂 This EP actually sounds awesome. I need to get to work and get TS4 now! I think the police officer and photographer careers look great.

[@VizzyDeluxe]

This is just what I feared! Loading screens everywhere! I feel like I am always at home in the Sims 4. When you go to a new place, all you do is sit down and talk, which is exactly what you can do at home. In the Sims 3 you could play ping-pong, pool, snowball fights and all this other crazy stuff with other sims. In the Sims 4 all you can do is talk to other people and play cards. It's just not worth it to go outside your house in the Sims 4. You have to go through a loading screen and you basically do nothing. The only need to go outside your home is to go to the gym. They need more group activity items like in the Sims 3.
