i actually like vampires a lot more in the sims 4 than in the sims 3. same for spellcasters! this feels truer to makin magic, which as we all know was the best expansion ever made. its only like a tenth as fun as that one was but thats still pretty good bc MM was amazing :P

[@hexyko4850]

There have been clones but nothing to the same scale. Usually life simulators are text based or have stat raising. Singles is the only one that comes close but they didn't have enough budget and it was more focused on adult stuff (although it wasn't that explicit, even with mods). Interestingly, they had laundry before Ambitions and there were other realistic things, like Singles wearing towels. Feel free to ask me about life simulators, I've played many.

@@crem2121 I have seen the game but so far it's impressive only as a building simulator, there hasn't been any actual gameplay shown and I don't think the creators are making their job easier by making build mode so flexible.

I actually thought they would add more spells, particularly weather altering spells and stop time spell. I mean spellcaster can cast powerful spells but not alter the weather.. lol wtf?

[@Waldo1122]

I'm pretty sure EA wants to do a lot more with The Sims 4 or The Sims in general, but they also have to put their consumers into consideration. Most Sims players don't have a gaming PC capable of running highly demanding games so they can't really add anything other than small updates/expansions.

[@liquidmodernitytasteslikeu2855]

@@Waldo1122 It's 2019, we have 10 times more powerful hardware than we had in 2009 (when the sims 3 was launched), we are technologically ready for a ambitious the sims game with open world and inovation, but it will not happen because EA is run by marketing people and they just want to maximize the profits, it's a fact. We need to show that there is demand for life simulation games, so a competitor steps up and (unfortunately) kills the the sims franchise.

[@Waldo1122]

@Turquoise Cheetah That isn't stupid logic at all... Look at how badly The Sims 3 ran, the game gets endless (crash to desktop) even without mods on high end PCs. The Sims 4 will be no different and it is a fact that most of the Sims 4 playerbase is women and children that know absolutely nothing about computers and are using computers with 4GB of ram with an integrated graphics processor, and a low end Intel CPU.

[@Waldo1122]

@Liquid modernity tastes like urine We may have 10 times more powerful hardware, but it is very unlikely that the users playing The Sims updated their hardware since 2009 especially if they are using a MAC. Take a look at the Steam hardware statistics, more than 50% of users only have 4 Physical CPUs and 36% of users still only have 8GB RAM! The gaming community isn't ready for a life simulation because they aren't ready to invest in a CPU capable of running a life simulation!

[@RacerX780]

@A real bisexual petrol-head The next game is always in development. Takes too long to make a game - they gotta start years before it's planned to be released. Hopefully they either design a better game engine, or pick one that allows much more flexibility then the one used in Sims4. The current one is way too limited and/or hard to develop for.

[@ricoco7891]

RacerX780 Honestly if they just remade Sims 3 with the moods, multitasking and character creator of Sims 4 I think everyone would be satisfied. No need for any new sims games ever.

[@JamesFluker]

There are some real issues with this pack though - "new counters" (a reskin) but no matching cabinets. Townie Sims randomly becoming spellcasters and breaking people's games by summing multiple duplicates into existence. Doors and windows that don't suit the different wall heights. Curtains that match some windows but no others. And in the Glimmerbrook world a house with steps at the back, that don't lead to a back door. There's some definite quality control issues.

[@TheGiraffenGirl]

+ a few new bugs that were added to the game! We also need new mods to fix things that should have been implemented with the pack, like a switch in the game to control the spellcasters.

[@aria5614]

At this point we need another development team to come along and make a clone of The Sims. Combining elements from sims 3 (such as the open world and general interactions) and elements from sims 4 (the ability to cook whatever you want whenever you want, ease of building, collectables are a bit easier to find, and the multitasking function.)

[@WillcraftAnimations]

This seems to hit the same spot that Vampires did for me. Namely, some content seems tempting, but two things keep me from actually wanting it. One, while it does add fleshed-out spellcasters, it doesn't seem to add much... else. The magical world is woefully underwhelming, clothing options lacking (Seriously? Not a single hat?), content bleeding over where it shouldn't because who can be bothered to put that much thought into a Sims 4 pack, etc. The result is basically a series of cheat codes with pretty visuals and a set means of unlocking them, much like a more elaborate version of the dragons in Dragon Valley. Yeah, they're neat and all, but it's basically just a plate with one really tasty piece of meat on it, but the rest of the meal is either not satisfying or not there at all, which only ends up being a major disservice to the experience of eating the piece of meat because you feel like you're not getting the experience you should. Two, it's still Sims 4. So while the magic powers look neat, they're still given to and used on Sims 4 sims. In Sims 4 worlds. Which hasn't been made appealing to me no matter how many patches and DLC they add. If this was provided as a Sims 3 pack, I'd probably be all over it even with most of the content being pretty lacking. There's enough bulk to the game and its other packs already that the features that ARE being offered would still be fun to play with. But I just don't see myself having fun with a pack when I don't have fun with the base game, which has kept me away from every single Sims 4 pack so far. Really, the only reason I even watch these is because LGR is fun to watch. So yeah... The pack is in a strange area where I know it wouldn't be fun to play with, but it looks like it COULD have been fun. Which makes me want something I can't have because it doesn't exist, and feel frustrated about that. It's like they managed to sell me on a product they're not even selling.

[@allwhatilove914]

Amen! Resuming: nothing seems really fun on TS4. It doesnt matter what they bring up, the base game sucks. I love TS3 and I wish they would bring fast TS5 because the "new" one sucks.

Once people realize there's nothing in the base game, you release a DLC for 20 dollars with a few parts you previously scrapped! Glorious. Now every minor idea or patch will just be a 20 dollar DLC because players are desperate for content and why not! Free cash. If anyone new seriously wants to get into a Sims game, get a previous version or even one before that, and only during a Steam -75% off sale, for the full package which will include all the 100's of DLCs, and you'll probably be able to experience the full game for a reasonable price.

@Onion Face or the enchanted gnome that got wasted from the nectar press xD

[@S0ulGh0st]

Hey, The Sims 3 Supernatural was very dedicated to that ideia too! There was lots to do with magic there, not only the magic creatures

[@emilyhargrove4725]

Supersaurus I came here to say that! As soon as he said there hasn’t been one since Making Magic, I was like, “supernatural doesn’t count?” 🤔

[@incognitoburrito6020]

I think he meant packs dedicated to one occult group. Supernatural was a mix of four or five

[@chrisyoung109]

Way more enjoyable, the game is slow at times but, it's a lot more adventurous. Grateful I watched this before purchasing anything. I'll stick with Sims 3 and make the world more fun by exploring new and cheap expansion packs.

[@yeeeeehawwwwww5194]

Never have I clicked so fast on a video on the sims. I think it’s ridiculous that there is nothing for children

[@TheGiraffenGirl]

And then they taunt us with a million references to Harry Potter in the pack! Would have been really revolutionary, if the sims 4 had done more then a past sims game this time but alas it's the sims 4 we're talking about here.

[@yeeeeehawwwwww5194]

TheGiraffenGirl stephOsims pointed out that this pack is based off Harry Potter, the biggest movie about wizards and they are kids. But if you want more based items I highly recommend Henry puffer stuff pack

[@TheGiraffenGirl]

@@yeeeeehawwwwww5194 Thanks for the recomendation. I already have that Pack and it's way better than any stuff pack the sims 4 has ever released, really charming, and creative.

[@CustomKnights]

Sadly, it's been that way since Sims 2

[@Sarah_e_me]

Someone made a pufferhead CC pack that looks pretty awesome.

[@Drstrange3000]

This was my most anticipated pack and I'm overwhelmed. The magic feels so isolated. Like the ONLY place people practice magic is through the portal and not out and about. Like NPC don't really react to magic and no one seems to do magic on you on their own. There is very little progression or consequence for using magic aside from curse. Potions are OP.

[@gagasluxury7458]

I want to wish LGR and all the viewers a good day bc we've been blessed with another LGR Sims review

[@PeTTs0n88]

I will admit that my guilty pleasure is watching your Sims 4 videos, albeit having never touched the game itself. Thank you for creating them!

[@ExcenGaming]

I don't play Sims games at all. But everytime LGR puts out an expansion review, I'm there everytime.

[@d.rwyatt1815]

His reviews are so epic.

[@Gameprojordan]

Same, I have no problem with the Sims series but it just isn't something I'm that interested in playing. But reviews and stuff on it are interesting to watch

[@nslouka90]

This actually looks like a really fun pack! The ability to make chili in a cauldron, cause chaos with spells and magic AND sit comfortably makes it worth the 20 bucks...just wish I could woohoo with myself 😩

[@kariharris78]

You can... Wicked whims mod. Your welcome

[@xxnuafaxx]

I really like your content, you do a great job.

[@birdmasterthecaffeinatedowl]

I feel like this pack could have been easily combined with vampires and given a different title. Im not really interested in this pack at all

[@KuukoPesto]

Oh How I've waited for this! Lemme get my popcorn.

[@Pippemi]

Great to hear about those new chairs, that really sold me on the game

[@spicepudding2562]

OooOoOo i have been checking back for a while for this review - I havent been able to play sims from my corrupted computer so I went out and got a new one from rewatching all your reviews haha. Thank you so much 💖💖💖

[@charlielauenborg5087]

I was so disappointed in this. The realm of magic world was absolutely gorgeous, the furniture and clothes gorgeous and it had a lot of fun features. But it was so easy. And it didn't take many hours to get around all it had to offer, without cheats. It's 20 dollars. That's a lot of money. This is so lackluster. There are free mods out there with more balanced content and more elaborate gameplay than this.

[@mega_master_official]

*I made Sabrina Spellmen and instead of using the sink, I just had her use the fire spell to clean the dishes.* xD

[@antoniokaige7919]

The gnome getting hit by the car and the child screaming was the peak of this video overall and with this pack I’ll do whatever I can to recreate this beautiful moment.

[@yvesfromloona3217]

the sims 3 supernatural was a godsend... it was beautiful, the world, the items....

[@heyjoeway]

"Free configurable stairs" Hmmm... it's almost like EA is worried about some up-and-coming competition... wonder what that could be...

[@MieSyzygy]

Wish they'd get busy with the other things Paralives is promising. The stairs we got look like Lego, just square; no rounded landings, no ability to split level, not much in terms of customization. Build/buy could be epic in TS4 if they'd focus on it more instead of impressing teens/twenty-somethings with influencer lure.

[@heyjoeway]

@@MieSyzygy ​ At least it's something. Not like it'll matter much once Paralives drops. 😉

[@Fayeluria]

Thanks to both of you for letting me know about Paralives, it completely went past me somehow and sounds pretty promising so far!

[@DetectiveNyx]

I don't think EA would drop L-shaped stairs as their big comeback against Paralives

[@heyjoeway]

WOW this did not age well

[@Aliasfakename123]

Just like with the Vampire pack, the magic system looks great. The only downside is it's in the Sims 4 😭

[@kuttebulle]

Your review videos are a godsend when looking for honest, no bs, cut to the point information about the packs! Thank you.

[@TastyGamingQc]

Possible rework ideas; Wands and familiars should give boost to a specific school of magic instead of everything. This would give more incentive to have multiple artefacts and add depths to the gameplay. Also, they should add other spell animations depending on what type of spell is being cast and by what catalyst. Additionally, they should add jobs (psychic hotline, occult detective, etc) and the ability to creat a portal to the magic realm by binding an object (closet, shower, etc).

[@diegoiunou]

Clint, I cannot help but notice that even when you are reviewing something you are fed up with (like The Sims 4) you still deliver "documentary voice" videos, and that's awesome. I guess what I like the most from LGR is its calm nature and knowing it won't get on my nerves. Thanks a lot for the quality content. 👍🏼

[@GoodOldDaysGaming]

Oh man! I'd love an LGR Plays of this. The level of shenanigans here for your sense of humor's pleasure seems like great entertainment. I always crack up at your Sims play style.

[@TheGiraffenGirl]

The ONE and only review I have been waiting for!

[@bethanyoneal5789]

They should’ve added witch and wizard hats

[@LiEnby]

perhaps they wanted it to be accurate to actural witchcraft practices? would be a weird choice tho to make the clothing/accessories accurate but then have completely rediculous spells and potions that would never acturally exist

[@slimecorn]

I'd love to hear our thoughts on Paralives. There's a really good chance I'll be putting sims out to pasture if/when it comes out lol

[@SennaAugustus]

What is there to talk about? There's nothing of substance yet, just a partial building simulator. For a life simulation game, it's very much lacking in life or simulation.

[@d.rwyatt1815]

same, I'm so awaiting this day!

[@louisfill849]

@@SennaAugustus Yep people are riding it's horse.

[@slimecorn]

@@SennaAugustus oh I totally see where you're coming from, I'm just hopefully optimistic lol

[@CustomKnights]

@@SennaAugustus My thought exactly, people are so desperate for competition they'll let a sketchup wannabe become the competition even tho it's unlikely it will work with so much freedom on buildmode, I wish rockstar or anyone who has the resources could come up with their own version of the sims, the sims needs it.

[@maddiemannix]

i always ALWAYS wait until your reviews come out to spend my hard earned money on new sims packs and expansion. you are the man my dude. thank you for saving me a crap ton of money 👊

I can’t wait to see you run this on MS-DOS!

[@GothCookie]

I also LOVE that all doors, windows, furniture items and clothing items kind of match?? The matching process of the swatches has never been so fulfilling!

[@Ratciclefan]

Oh wow As for having relationships with your duplicates, I'm sure someone will make a mod for it

[@nikkiheartsyou4]

Finally! I always look for your reviews before I buy the games, thank you!

[@Keishabarnett69]

You literally gave the most comprehensive review I've seen since the pack came out. Theres things I didn't even know existed. Definitely thinking about buying

[@gracegaylord9025]

Honestly, making a big batch of Mac n cheese in the cauldron is already selling it for me

[@dagon940]

8:02 this part killed me, i love it when LGR does that! things like that in his old sims 3 reviews, is what got me hooked on his videos.

[@Someinternetuser]

This is where I go whenever I consider buying a pack! Thanks LGR.

[@JaelBreton]

I've been waiting for an LGR review of this pack since it was announced. Seriously, why do I physically get so excited to see your reviews of the sims game??

[@Firenzell01]

The gameplay was disappointingly underwhelming and empty in this pack but I absolutely love the aesthetic of the build/buy and CAS items.

[@aliviahill2735]

Okay. Video watched. First, if you read this, I love your reviews. You have an honest and detailed look at each pack, and you’ve helped me add to my sims world without spending money on useless packs. Where we differ is the magic and silly aspects; I can’t get enough magic in my sims games. This pack will be an easy must-have for me, even if it turns into nothing but chaos and sims setting everything on fire.

[@Paul-tj9fb]

i got this notification while playing sims 3

Hi, I am waiting for your Sims 4 Discover University review to see if i should get the game. Thank you and hopefully you are making one.

[@ricoco7891]

I watched LGR years ago, and just remembered him recently. I immediately checked the channel out and I gotta say I'm impressed. He's still here, still making Sims videos, regardless of the expansions qualities. He really really cares about this franchise, even when its at its lowest, and that's something I truly admire. I love ya LGR

Glad you stopped by again 👍
