LGR - The Sims 4 Tiny Living Stuff Review

[@MultiSweetheart6]

I think Murphy Beds would've made _way_ more sense in City Living.

[@anv9956]

or university

Death by a bed..

[@glennquagmire3583]

MultiSweetheart6 it makes sense for this pack as you got one for a sofa and a bed in one

[@ludvigrasmusen2722]

It came in University in Sims 3

[@KiickrOcksz]

Definitely! What's worse is the concept art for city living had them.

[@onlyabidoang]

Bunk beds, loft beds, and ladders could've made this pack worth. But they gave us one type of "new gameplay" object that is pretty cumbersome to use and takes up a huge chunk of space for a tiny home. Guess we'll be waiting for them to be included in "Bunk Bed Living" or "My First Ladder" stuff pack :/. And an amazing review as always, Clint!

This seems more like leftover University stuff than tiny home stuff.

Thisss, their aesthetic is so similar it doesn't even look like they tried to hide it. It would also explain why it doesn't address tiny houses needs at all.

[@nicolew672]

Absolutely, if you look at the new polls coming out for voting out packs, it looks like they are taking the left over art boards and making packs out of them.

I hope that one day they will release a random pack called "Things you all wanted" and give us all the useful stuff we want with the description saying "That's it, we give up. We can't think of more poorly designed unuseful stuff so we're just going to give you what you want."

plumbella pointed out the fact that a claustrophobic trait would’ve been great here and i haven’t been the same since. ea dropped the ball but are we really surprised?

[@Vakrios]

I feel like this pack was just an excuse for them to add the Murphy bed that everyone wanted in University. Like you said, they could've done so much better with bunk beds, spiral stairs and ladders, they're the things I think of when it comes to tiny living, not Murphy beds.

Neb ladders aren’t coming but I’d kill for bunk beds, I hate when I need a smaller house and the kids have to share a bedroom that has barely any space because the beds are huge

[@SilveraroShow]

Izzeh this aged well

[@missasissa]

In the Tiny living live stream, they said bunk beds were "too expensive for the budget" which is why they weren't added. 🙄 right... yet modders can make them just fine, not to mention they had them in sims 3. They really missed the opportunity for lofts and ladders and actual compact and sensible beds.

[@restinpeas1284]

The business model they've had has meant a terrible experience all around for TS4. I haven't bought a pack since the camping one. Everything else has been shallow or dull as dishwater. Really disappointing, as I started out thinking the more closed nature of TS4 would have benefitted it and solved problems previous games had, but they just never got a grip on it. Feels awfully uninspired most of the time, unlike packs in literally every previous Sims title.

[@foxygrin]

EA doesn't pay their employees but says $40 for DLC, what a steal :) they're not getting a cent from me

[@DerLetzteMonarch]

I don't know about you but I've yet to see custom content bunk beds that actually have proper animations and don't just have Sims either teleport or glide up to the upper bed. Like it or not, everything you do in game development has a budget. A bloody $10 pack doesn't have a very high one. They simply cannot put more gameplay content (which means anything that either requires new code or new animations) in there than the budget allows them to. And this pack already has a ton of that. The murphy bed, the new tiny home lot type with its entire functionality and the TV/bookcase/stereo combo. That's three gameplay additions of different scales in a pack with the lowest price you ever had to pay for any kind of Sims add-on. At some point you simply have to be realistic and stop thinking about what you didn't get and instead focus on what we did get. Yes, even more animations and coding for the sake of two more gameplay additions in the form of ladders and bunkbeds would simply have been too much for a stuff pack. You may dislike that they chose murphy beds over bunkbeds but that's just how things are. Devs have to make decisions and some people will always disagree with those. None of that means that these people are incompetent, lazy, greedy or in any way mean-spirited.

[@7Nine7]

@@DerLetzteMonarch well said

[@YAUUN]

@@DerLetzteMonarch Or they could have left out the unwanted murphy bed with all its extra animations and put in ladders, bunk beds and loft beds with proper animations (which they could probably have reused large parts of the ladder animations they already have for).

[@BierBart12]

Sims 3 feels like dating a 90 year old with dementia after having been addicted to Sims 4 Not nearly as expensive or painfully unstable as the younger one, but keeps forgetting that you exist, loves to tell you that the way YOU want to do things is wrong and takes forever to do anything. She gets even more forgetful if you try to mod her brain. (I haven't tried the new 64 bit version of Sims 3 though, is it faster?)

"Here spend $10 to get an item in the game that can kill your sim and take up too much space which makes playing annoying"

[@CaveyMoth]

@M S I thought you said "live sacrifice" for a second. Still relevant.

[@FortressLordJP193]

The only thing in the pack which isn't comedically lazy and it's because it's awfully implemented in general. I don't know why I got excited seeing Murphy beds, there was no way EA were gonna make a mechanic where you place furniture under it and push them out the way when not needed. It's just a bed that kills you in a 'lol so funny' way. Let's see this DLC remade in Sims 5 when the only item in the whole pack is the bed, and it's permanently folded down and just has a visual hinge under it suggesting it can fold up.

[@ViolinChick5]

LGR forgot to mention how expensive the Murphy beds are, too. $2000+ Simoleons for… 1 Energy. Wtf. Even after upgrading, that energy/cost isn’t worth it. Better to use real beds in budget houses.

[@monica-fd2qy]

cmon isn’t it fun having more ways to die? sims 4 is too easy. plus dying to murphy beds is a really rare death.

I absolutely expected bunk beds in this pack. They always seems to assemble these packs in odd non-sensible ways IMO! 🤔

[@summerrussell592]

or some ladders! Ladders make so much sense in a tiny house. Instead you get a killer bed

[@robintst]

At this point I suspect the team working on these packs are almost a skeleton crew left neglected in their own little corner of the office with little to no connection left with the fanbase. Despite preying on the fans' completionist obsessions with having to own every add-on and expansion for this game, Sims 4 still isn't as exploitable as a full blown live service title so I'm sure EA brass care far less for it than their higher profile garbage like FIFA or Madden.

[@Nicole-ru9tu]

I feel like they're saving bunk beds for a teen stuff pack or game pack. Notice we have a toddler stuff pack, kidsroom stuff pack, and now they're working on an elders stuff pack(community voted pack), only pack left is a teen stuff pack. Each age group has it's own bedding. Its stupid that they even put Murphy beds in this pack but hey EA. Once paralives comes out maybe EA will take the sims community more seriously.

[@Pollicina_db]

@@Nicole-ru9tu not really the style for the knniting stuff looks to modern and hip for it to be for elders idk

[@ZanathKariashi]

and they'll make sure that bunk beds are child/teen only.

[@Vasvens]

This pack really proves they’re catering to youtubers instead of customers

[@YAUUN]

Bingo!

[@lance9249]

Sad but true but those KZbinrs will rant and rave and their fans will buy it. Game Changers do nothing good for this game all the issues and they cry about things like white shelves instead of the Sims non existent personalities.

[@ascorpioskiss3416]

True. The most the game changers talk about is EA's bad building and furniture choices. They dont go deeper about the game, and gush over every pack no what it is. They know ea wont take builder and deco criticism personally enough to give them the boot and they ain't trying to loose free opportunities from ea either

Sims 4 content is just lazy at this point, they glanced at the aesthetic of tiny houses without understanding any of the actual functionality of them. But I guess it’s a lot to expect value for our money...

[@baronsengir187]

"At this point"?? XD

[@JesusChrist-qk7uh]

@Turquoise Cheetah Same. Cc is free and you get to download what ya want. Aside from the mandatory gameplay items, I haven't used any Original Sims 4 build and buy/CAS objects at all. I wish EA would add substancy over quantity, I would rather have wheelchairs or cars or blanket forts and treehouses or something that actually adds to the gameplay, not a cheap decorative item/ remodeled rehash of a object. 10 dollars? No thank you. Nice attempt. The only problem is updating mods and cc, but I have 38,000 mods so far, and almost all of them still work.

[@pqetics3560]

The action of doing tiny builds isn't a new function especially concerning content creators, the Sims team basically just looked at the increasing trend of tiny builds in the Sims community and did a stuff pack with it. Though I wished they put more thought into doing some of the combo items. I mean some of the combo items are just too big to be placed in some of the lots requirements. I like the decor, and enjoy the challenge...but I still wish they put more thought into the items.

[@zapman6528]

@Turquoise Cheetah what is CC?

LGR just showed us how Tiny Living was the My First Pet of Eco Living. Everything that he points out is missing here is in Eco Living. COINCIDENCE MUCH?

[@HerHollyness]

Apart from bunk beds... 🤪 But seriously, I agree with you. I think the devs get ‘behind’ their schedule and have to take stuff out that they planned. Then they add it in later in a free patch (eg the ladders here).

[@fleetwoodmak777]

laundry day was originally supposed to be eco lifestyle but they watered it down

[@PepperoniMilkshake]

I love tiny builds but this pack doesn't address all the challenges that the base game presents. Besides, like you said, it won't even scratch the surface of actual space saving things

[@Chillwave6]

Literally every house I've lived in in my life have always had the "microwave on top of wall shelf" like LGR said. It's why I feel very uncomfortable with placing a microwave on a desk.

[@sadmac356]

Well now I understand the Sims 3 patch note of "the Murphy bed has been made less lethal"

"Maybe they'll balance it out with a mansion pack later on." So basically, you're rewarded for living tiny or living huge, and punished for being middle class. yep that's realistic

I remember a few years ago my friend and I were messing around on the Sims 3 and build tiny houses using all of the stuff that was there from all the packs. Ladders, a loft in the roof part of the house, the bunk beds/the loft beds that could fit a dresser underneath, and even the all in one bathroom from the Island Living expansion. It was so much easier than what this looks like, AND THAT WAS IN THE SIMS 3! Honestly... Sims 4 team are NEVER going to be on the same level as Sims 2 or 3 and they really should just start copying the other games.

[@Gumgumguk]

Belladonna Poe i don't think they should just copy it, but ts4 had so much potential to outshine the other games and yet here we are. a singular sims 3 expansion had 10x more content than any ts4 game packs or expansion. wish ts4 wasn't just a cash grab :/

@@Gamer208010 Nope, they get from EA all the money they need. All of the ideas are also theirs, no EA influence.

[@kewiired9271]

It is baffling how many missed opportunities this pack has. Spiral staircases, bunk beds, ladders... heck why not the all in one bathroom??

[@100thschool]

it's actually possible to do 1x1 room bathroom using all 3 things sink/toilet/shower with moveobjects and frameless shower from university living. but that's the issue, to make this pack worthwhile you HAVE to use moveobjects, there are no in-game items that are designed around small spaces

[@Sheghostly]

@@100thschool It's so stupid that they can't come out with a proper 1 tile all-in-one bathroom like they had in The Sims 3 Into the Future, though. LITERALLY they could just recycle the same stepping into the shower animation, and give us an item with functionality. But I guess copying an item from a previous game requires too much creativity and innovation on their part :p

I would've loved the ability to own mobile homes or RVs, or be able to live in a van or bus (which has been trending a bit), and they could've added cars as a follow up patch. Trailer parks could be fun too, working like apartments in city living (changing the lot type of certain sized lots to mobile home park, with customization like in this pack), with a more expansive off the grid system that island paradise missed out on. Adding onto this: Townhouses, like apartments but with backyards and such. Dont vibe for the city life of city living, personally, but a string of connected homes rather than having separate lots with neighbors would be nice. Actual grocery stores and supermarkets, malls like the one in Sims Freeplay. Speaking of Sims freeplay, the arcade and carnival and ski resort were fun too. Being able to rent or own a mini apartment above a business... without mods, haha. Cul de Sacs (?), the ability to live rogue (hotels, motels, skipping traintracks because every day is a beautified runaway), multi-generational family homes (having different multiple npc families living like how roommates do in your home... Forrest Gump vibes ♡) and customizable, functional tree houses that act like a mini separate lot for kids/teens to hang out in along with blanket forts (indoor and outdoor) and toddler playhouses would just be as nice too. Actual orphanages, daycares and schools. They have a high school in the Sims freeplay, non rabbit hole, that'd I personally like in Sims 4. As much as I want open worlds, I want customizable world's. 50x50 lots to be downsized at will to, say, smaller 20x20 lots or the ability to remodel the world like in Sims 3. Searching up sims4 fanmade maps, I'd be wonderstricken if we'd actually be able to download and they would work in game. Sigh, I can only hope...

[@LouLikestowatch]

yes I would have loved a trailer park!! and to refurbish campervans, would be so cool. (with objects that are useful too) or even having a new area of small lots where you have to build tiny - and then having many lots to play with. but of course, EA suck at innovation.

@@MandalorV7 I hope not-Maxis are taking their time learning and polishing the sims 4 mechanics so that when there is a sims 5 they also feature them but with an open world again. (without the dumb sims 4 mood system) I felt sims 3 was an amazing iteration on the sims but was held together with ductape and bubblegum more so than most games. So many unfixed bugs that the community fixed. hell even the performance was improved/fixed with Nraas mods, obviously the developers could have done it themselves.

It’s so annoying that the Murphy bed can kill you pretty easily. It should be more like 1 in 10,000. Plus each Murphy bed has artwork that you can’t change or remove. Also, ladders, sliding doors, bunk beds and toilet/sink combos would have made way more sense than a Murphy bed. EDIT: someone has made a toilet/sink combo on Mod the Sims! It’s on the first or second page of sims 4 stuff as of writing this comment.

I miss the days of the Sims 2, when disasters and deaths were programmed properly so they only happened occasionally, but happened enough so that you'd experience it at least a few times. Nowadays it seems that the devs make it so that bad things happen constantly or hardly at all. Not sure whether it's a choice or just incompetent programming.

Loft beds would make so much sense for this pack. You could put a desk, another bed, a chair, etc underneath. That would save much more space than murphy beds and I'd actually use those

[@Tozixxxx]

Murphy beds came with the sims 2 apartment life and the crush by Murphy bed animation was rare enough that it was exciting to see! How are they charging you for a whole stuff pack for one new item that was done better 10 years ago

Got to say, having played it for a bit, this pack is very overpowered. It makes everything VERY easy. Meet someone new? Say hello then take some photos with them and your relationship will literally be full. Want to learn a new skill? The bar will fill up so quickly you’ll be L10 before you know it! Want to grow some plants? They’ll grow and evolve so quickly you’ll have a perfect garden in a couple of seasons! It really reduces the amount of gameplay, as it makes everything so easy to achieve. Not the best.

[@Amsayy]

HerHollyness I got to level 10 painting skill in less than two days in a microhome on a lot with the natural light and artist lot traits, plus the painter aspiration and art lover and creative personality traits. All of a sudden there’s no point in low bills when every painting is worth thousands and takes no time to paint

[@87idk]

I think they missed an opportunity for really cool and ingenious furniture. My favourite thing about watching tiny home shows was seeing how people developed furniture to solve space problems, like wall modules that can have tables, couches or beds slide out and slide away. Also lofts, you hit that on the head.

[@tristikov]

Hmm, The Sims pathing, collision, and animation alignment requirements + tiny spaces... What could possibly go wrong? (Is this actually less of an issue in 4 than in prior games though?)

[@davidmcgill1000]

Don't recall any collision and animation alignment issues in 4, but they do just give up on doing anything if the game is taxed enough.

[@panicfanatd]

Pathing is the best it's ever been in sims 4 but still stupid bugs and just overall bad AI happen all the time. Musical chairs is unforgivable yet here we are with it in full swing

[@ViolinChick5]

This exactly, which is why the builds I make are 90% built withOUT the MOO cheat. The only thing I use the MOO cheat for is to place nonfunctional items on shelves or something. What’s the point of a pretty build if it’s not functional?!

[@cheesycaboose3353]

The game is kind of hit or miss. From my experience (with either ea builds or the square box houses I make) sims for the most part have no issue with pathing. I do get the weird issues of having sims go up two flights of stairs to wash dishes and only using their bike in their bedroom, but I've had alot of issues with animations. I'd say 40% - 50% of all animations have alignment issues with the interacted object or have sims standing inside a wall/object. Keep in mind this is without the use of move objects or the alt key. If that's better or worse then previous games....maybe?

[@nohemi6899]

The pathing is actually really good in The Sims 4. You play The Sims 3 and say you're throwing a party with multiple guests arriving at once at your front double door, they'll stand there and tap their foot waiting while each sim takes their sweet time to walk in. Had this happen yesterday while playing the Daycare career. A bunch of kids came to my sim's daycare along with her two kids and husband. There's eight people in total at the door and each one spends forever walking in and everyone else just WAITS and that house has a backdoor!

[@nightrider_]

You have so on point criticism here. I thought about the ladders and spiral staircases but the oven and fridge thing and pull out beds and bed/couches they would be great additions with this pack. I don't think they would've required a lot of new animations as well. I bet there are modders who can add this stuff for free! Also the confusion you had with the Murphy bed. I completely agree. I always thought that they are not a space saving object in any of the Sims games. I never understand their purpose.

[@namor18]

the murphy bed kinda reminds me of the guinea pig in sims 1, cute but when they bit your sims it will become ill and eventually dies so i avoided getting it lol

[@allison6307]

when i played the pack for the first time i decorated the smallest apartment in the game with the murphy bed (it was so cute and cozy). my sin never had trouble with it. when her fiancé came over to hangout he died when he tried opening the bed. he just moved in. they had a child. THE CHILD WITNESSED THEIR SOON TO BE STEP FATHER’S DEATH. i’ve never placed a murphy bed since (also i’ve never slept in one irl because the sims 3 haunts me)

[@seventhsheaven]

Also, @LGR, what do you think about the survey the sims team are currently doing? They’re asking players what previous packs they think need updating. I personally chose island living (because it’s a crime to call it an expansion pack, there’s no new gameplay whatsoever), University (literally nothing to do, too many rabbit holes), and the dining out pack (excellent pack in theory but too many bugs to be usable). What would you pick for improvement?
