LGR - The Sims Medieval Review

[@johndoelopez1206]

EA is stupid dropping this game it had so much potential.

[@randombrokeperson]

EA dropped this, Urbz Sims, and a good TS4 lol

[@thisismyname5657]

@@randombrokeperson Honestly I think The Sims 4 is pretty good. The lack of an open world is a massive downside but through patches and DLC it's not nearly as lacking as it was in the content department and the major optimization, graphical improvements, and the greatly improved CAS/Build Mode make up for it.

[@SpookyMarine]

Abigail Foote The worst pack in Sims 3 is still better than anything Sims 4 has put out. I’ll actually stay in Katy Perry’s house of pain over Sims 4 any day.

[@brightblue2415]

@@thisismyname5657 There is no create-style and no color wheels in build and buy mode and create-a-sim in The Sims 4, except for cats and dogs for some reason. The improvements with objects placing, dragging rooms and body parts and resizing don't make up for the lack of customisation.

[@quaesitrix881]

The customization options, from the color wheel to the custom patterns, were really great in Sims Medieval. It was the first time I saw the create style option, and I thought it was a great idea. Much better than being stuck with items/clothings you like in colors and patterns you dislike. I just with this system of customization was more widespread.

[@LordofFullmetal]

Lord, I would pay SO much money for a sandbox version of the Sims: Medieval. Like, a full on, proper version that had the style of Medieval, but where you have the same amount of freedom as in the Sims 3. Sadly, that won't ever happen. But I would be more than willing to pay full price for it; which for EA games, is rare for me. I like their games, but I fucking DESPISE them as a business; enough that it makes me not want to buy their games.

[@ZorotheGallade]

+LordofFullmetal You can play Dwarf Fortress if you don't mind the graphics.

[@LordofFullmetal]

YoSeriousLee Yeah, Dragon Valley's alright as far as downloadable neighbourhoods go. But I agree; it's nowhere near close enough.

[@LordofFullmetal]

ZorotheGallade Huh; might have to check that out.

[@ZorotheGallade]

+LordofFullmetal It has a very steep learning curve, but once you can get the ball rolling it's basically...Warcraft meets The Sims and Rogue, and all three of them get smashed at a pub.

[@LordofFullmetal]

ZorotheGallade Whoa, sounds cool. Thanks Xx

[@SourBitters]

Years later, I'm still wondering why they don't do time period roleplay sims games with MORE freedom than this. Modding communities always have entire catalogs of medieval and Victorian era stuff, (but all they can normally do is aesthetically change objects) I don't think I'm the only one that wants this.

[@amberlilly1899]

SourBitters simply not the style of the sims series there's other games like that

[@youhaveagodcomplex5590]

Yeah like assassin's creed but sandbox

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

You are not the only one! Even if they added a true eras system to the game where there was no risk of a townie running through in modern clothes on their cellphone, it would be cool.

[@LittleMyMiss]

It's an amazing game. Too bad EA has completely dropped this game and doesn't update it anymore.

[@thatgirltiffany]

They don't give a shit about the sims 3 anymore either, the last update on it was back in 2014 and was pretty much only on the latest expansion. Thanks EA, for creating games and completely ignore them when you find out its not your cash cow anymore.

[@rlowdon]

I mean, it's pretty old now....there's a lot of content for Sims 4. You can't expect a game company to keep every game they've made up to date forever....

[@LittleMyMiss]

CodeRed Ofcourse, but this game doesn't support windows 8 or higher. And that's a problem that's been going on for years now (even before the sims 4 came out). You'd expect a company to fix such a big issue

[@rlowdon]

Old games die off, it's how it works. They don't have to update all their games to work with the latest OS. There's a new Sims now, so that's what they focus on

[@LittleMyMiss]

CodeRed That is true but like I said before, this was already a problem BEFORE the sims 4 was even fully announced

I actually really like this game. although the gameplay is not the same as the sims 3, I sometimes find the quest system refreshing when I get bored of the sims 3. I also like the look of it. Total medieval world!

[@taariyadavis4977]

How do get over having to start a kingdom fresh every time you start a new ambition and having to do the same quests and unlock the same things over again? Are there completely new quests for every ambition or is it really all the same, just with different end goals? That's my main reason for being unsure whether to buy it or not.

[@historyfreak6591]

You can't really but I find the fun is in creating new characters and stories and putting characters from tv shows and movies into it. And also you can choose different choices each time and different quests are opened sooner based on which roles you open first.

Some of my major concerns is sometimes it's impossible to do your daily tasks as ingredients aren't available and there are a lot of bugs that have not been patched yet. Sometimes leaving you to restart a mission from scratch.

I love this game, even understanding the Sims Medieval is incredibly flawed.

[@madisonflowers7449]

+Mutt Lutt It's really refreshing considering that you can change what uou do and things like that and I like it alot. I had it but sadly I moved and the disk was lost. But I loved playing it! I kind of prefer it over Sims 3 at certain points of time.

[@GreatFox42]

I will say this about the game. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about the way the sims are animated here seems much more appealing to me than it does in any of the main games. Or maybe it's that the animations are the same but the aesthetics are different...I dunno. Truth is the aesthetics of the sims themselves have always quietly bothered me. They just moved too jankily for my liking; too cartoonish. Granted they move cartoonily here too, but something about it here just works in my eyes. I dunno.

[@madisonflowers7449]

+GreatFox42 I thought I was the only one who thought the same thing!

[@LordofFullmetal]

+GreatFox42 He did SAY in the first few minutes that they look more realistic in this game. But yeah, the Sims are MEANT to be cartoonish. It's just the aesthetic the creators have chosen to use. If you don't like it that's perfectly fine; but there's really nothing you can do, unless you wanna go ahead and make an overhaul mod. The Sims is not meant to be a realistic game; it's designed to be cartoonish and silly in every single aspect. it makes sense the sims themselves look that way. if you want a more realistic game, you really should be looking elsewhere.

[@MagicalAuroraDream]

It's like they have more warmth to them. As Clint mentioned, it's kind of something in the skin. They don't quite have the same sort of squishy pudding-face look as in The Sims 3 despite using similar engine elements. (I call TS3 sims pudding-faced because that's kind of how I perceive them, but I am legally blind, so that might not be the best descriptor. Still, their faces, even if they're thin, just always look kind of squishy to me.)

[@foxygrin]

@@MagicalAuroraDream Yeah they looked like they were made out of clay. In Medieval they have more texture, and you can set things like the opacity of age details which I reaaaally appreciate; let my sims have wrinkles without looking 100 years old EA!! It's either that or a baby face right now :(

[@MagicalAuroraDream]

Universe Artist Glad my assessment was pretty much on point! I actually tend to like aspects of TS4's graphics, even if I prefer much of TS3's and even TS2's gameplay.

[@ZanathKariashi]

For clarification, since he refers to the Kingdom goal and the quests as Quests. When you start a new game, you pick a Kingdom goal, based on the goals you've unlocked. (the initial goal is more of a tutorial and merely requires you to build all possible buildings in a kingdom to Win). There is no free-play mode initially, and anytime you're actually using Sims you will be on a quest. These quests have clear goals and a time-limit (though usually pretty generous), and determine which classes you can play as. (some quests allow multiple heroes to be used, or change how to reach the goal depending on the hero chosen) and cost quest points of which you only have a limited amount. The initial Kingdom has a simple goal and is basically impossible to fail, so you don't have to worry about what quests you choose to play. Completing quests gives the chosen character/s an amount of xp/gold based on your performance, as well as modifying your Kingdom in various ways, and adds Kingdom points for unlocking new buildings. Fulfilling the goal unlocks free-play mode for that Kingdom, which allows you to pick 1-4 heroes to manage with no particular goal to work towards, aside their personal daily duties. Once you've completed the initial Kingdom goal, you'll have unlocked other goals for new Kingdoms, which have more specific requirements and require you to choose your quests more carefully to ensure that you don't run out of quest points before achieving the goal. If you want the more free-form sandbox experience, this game REALLY isn't for you. But if your the type who needs goals to work towards but aren't good at making your own, this may be a good purchase.

[@LadyDoomsinger]

Sims Medieval is my favorite Sims game, specifically because of the narrative structure - the way you had specific questlines and stories to complete made it feel a lot more... I hesitate to say Focused... than Sims 3. While I enjoyed Sims 3 and 4, I often get burned out playing them, because they get very repetitive after awhile, doing the same chores, jobs, school, etc. often off-screen - in Sims Medieval each "Quest" was it's own story, and involved a variety of events and characters to interact with. It was also coincidentally the first Sims game I ever played, although I owned Sims 3 at the time, I could not run Sims 3 on my PC.

I still think this game was great for what it was. I sank tons of hours into it, however, unfortunately it is lacking on greater depth. There's a progression system where you can continue to create new kingdoms and play them with different goals in mind, but after while they all play so samey there isn't much incentive to keep going beyond a few levels deep. It would have been excellent had it been expanded upon. Or maybe they could have beefed up their "free play" mode allowing for multiple generations and dynasties while still having a separate mission based play. Oh well. "What Could Have Been" could be applied at this point to dozens and dozens of EA games....

So it's kind of like Dragon Age? Kind of. Not completely, of course. That game's a whole different animal 🤭

Newer comment here. October 2020: I just bought the whole game on Origin’s site for $19.95 USD. It contained the expansion pack of Pirates and Nobles as well. Played it all weekend. It’s very fun. Actually, for what it’s worth, it’s a lot more fun than Sims 4. Sure there are rabbit holes, but there are more locations to WALK to and explore, and it actually feels like there are less rabbit holes than Sims 4. The Sims Medieval doesn’t bombard with load screens. Maybe because I’m goin through the ‘honeymoon’ phase with this game, but it’s actually really fun IMHO. No. The graphics are not Sims 4, but they are livable. I would have enjoyed CC made by people for this, but as a whole it makes a worthy stand alone game in general.

I just got the game today. Still $20 and it’s honestly freaking wonderful. I’m having so much fun playing it.

[@RoxasLov3r4Ev3r]

@@angussneef thanks for letting us know! I remember getting a bootleg copy and liking it so I have to see if it's still on sale~~ :D

[@brickelleful]

I can't believe I've been a huge fan of the series my whole life and I'm just now hearing about this game?

Why the hell look these sims better than the sims in sims 4 wtf EA lives in a reverse world

[@terrasb120]

Need to find this to make a Stark family lol

[@lildevil4everaneva]

I really enjoy this game a lot! Don't go in expecting to play a medieval version of The Sims 3 though because as he said it has very little in common.

[@davidsotomayor6505]

Good recommendation KZbin.

[@bellafavis523]

I lost it at all the NOPE's

[@ExtraordinaryDork]

While this game could have been better, I still think its amazing an absolutely unique, and I still continue to play it every now and again. I think my biggest disappointment, is how as you level up and start new kingdoms, there's not new quests.

[@KingOfTheBeyond23]

Nice FAQ at the beginning. It really summed up for what I was expecting.

that Age of Empires 2 music hnnnggg

[@drehscheibchen]

Just got this for 6 EUR on origin (base + EP). For that price, it's worth checking out :)

[@superedmundo1239]

It's just R$100 (Base and Pirates and nobles), it's super worth it. And the graphics are pretty amazing

[@lorinsarer2817]

Why is this on my recommended in 2020?

[@Aickelodeon]

Oh the potential! Did they take any new elements and incorporate them into TS4? Such as that very pretty sim detail? *_NOPE!_* Instead they went for that lazy low poly, plastic bricky feel Huge downgrade

[@junelangley2800]

Shame, I was hoping for a Sims 3 style game set in a Medieval style, where you can behold castles and houses and kingdoms and stuff, and with Ambitions or Get-to-Work style careers like being a monarch, where you actually have to run a kingdom by talking with advisors, and commanding your servants, like blacksmiths and bakers.

[@peterm.petrus386]

I really wish EA will bring The Sims Medieval back... Cmon.. they should have a better concept by now! Playing royalty via mods in sims 4 kinda buggy

[@Christmasnighty]

Your video is really cool, man. Your "Nope," surely amused most of us. ;)

[@Brenmuffins]

12 years later I’m thinking of buying this

[@capitaosagres]

I found this video 10 years later and its one of the best review videos I've ever seen

[@jazz8000]

You can have "free game" non quest with adjustable options like work or no work n such, you have to beat the first chapter for it to unlock

[@blacksebbeth]

Sooo, I think I am speaking for everyone... Do I need 'The Sims 3' to play this.

[@olkasfas3532]

Nope!

[@caitfitch8447]

I kind of love this game. Not enough to play it every week like I do with sims 4. But when the mood hits me, it hits like a train.

[@wiIIovv]

The Sims Medieval and Spore: two wasted potentials by EA

[@Quinnbaby]

Lowkey this reminds me of age of empires lol, I use to live for that game & wished I could do life on it , just like the sims did .. I still haven’t got a chance to play sims medieval though , but I want to !

[@xxxDemonRabbitxxx]

I'm not a massive gamer so I don't know a lot about gaming companies but I always wondered why EA didn't make a sim's style/open world Harry Potter game seeing as they already made HP games. I mean I know there a mods for sims but its not the same as having an interactive universe solely designed for HP with game-play geared specifically for spells/flying etc. and this game just makes me think of that aesthetic. I mean projects like Pottermore show theres a clear desire for such an experience from fans. There's so many possibilities too like you could create you're own students to be sorted into houses or adults you can sign up for jobs as aurors/teachers/qudditch players/dragon trainers etc. They could have expansion packs like 'magical beasts' instead of pets for dragons etc or extra places/schools mentioned in the books like Durmstrang. They could have both open world and/or goal orientated play by going to classes or signing up for quidditch/duel club etc. And with the new spin-off movie series coming out thats even more possibility for expansions. Maybe you could choose whether your kid is muggle born/half-blood/pure blood and whether you're 'sim' becomes a dark/light wizard or not. I mean I realise that the HP games that exist are semi-open world in that you can explore the school but you're always Harry or one of the main trio and you have to follow the games story. I also see that a lot of people have mixed feelings about EA - especially with a mostly negative response to sims 4- and I guess you could say that if EA attempted a completely open-world HP game they could mess it up and focus more on the money-grab aspect of expansion packs over quality. It just strikes me as odd they never even thought about it, or maybe they did but it just never happened due to the latter.

[@bjornerluffy]

It would be pretty hard to make tbh and make it fun, the current sims formula would not fit the magic style of HP

[@queenninjabunny]

Yeah I agree I thought it was odd out they never made Harry Potter expansion since they made harry potter games.

[@Cirrec]

It could work very well as long as it's contained in Hogwarts, I think. You'd have things to do, people to interact with and probably things like quests or events that you could (or not, I guess) participate in. The rest of what you proposed probably wouldn't really work with the current Sims formula, though, since it's too expensive and would probably require changing maps too often.

[@SynphamyMusic]

See, i think it'd be better if you didn't have a physical hogwarts in the game. I think it'd be cool if they brought out some expansion where you could send your sims to hogwarts kind of like how children go to school and they'd learn to cast spells to make life easier or do quests in the sims world, maybe have other sims react in good or bad ways depending on how they believe in magic or something so it could be risky to go around casting spells in public in front of muggles

[@queenninjabunny]

Me too where you go there as kids and don't return until your a young adult :'D it would've been so freaking cool!
