The Katy perry pack is worth the 30 dollars exclusively because it is the reason that there is now a video Katy Perry herself In the recording booth singing Last Friday Night IN SIMLISH and that alone is too funny to be mad at. Imagine being one of the number one pop stars in america at your peak, and during one of your recording sessions they hand you a lyric sheet of your own song converted into nonsense gibberish and ask you to sing it with a straight face.

(to the fair, this might've been because it was the second expansion i ever got, ambitions being the first, but i was a little girl so i could care less about the jobs haha. nowadays? my fav is supernatural and seasons for sure. sims 3 is still ABSOLUTELY my favorite game of the franchise just bc of the open world, and imo im willing to deal with the greater presence of bugs for it loll.) yapsesh over tl;dr i have a soft spot for katy perry sweet treats.

the final straw for me was the high school years pack. i was SO excited because it added features i had always dreamed of and i was waiting for months for it to come out, but when it did, it literally broke everyone’s game and didn’t work. apparently the reasoning is because they no longer had hundreds of international testers as they always used to, instead they only had THREE (3) outsourced indian testers who approved it because they didn’t know what flaws to look for (which was the same reason my wedding stories was so broken, but high school years was even worse, it literally corrupted peoples save files). i didn’t end up buying the pack and haven’t opened my sims 4 game since. it’s so obvious they care way more about profit than actually making good games, and it’s just not even fun anymore

Re: “making too many videos about the Sims” I got into your content back when you released your video on Warrior cats, as I was hugely into that series as a kid. From there I watched more of your stuff and realized we were around the same age (I was born in 97) and our childhoods had a lot of the same core interests as a result - Neopets, Warriors, the Sims, etc… and not only that, you introduced me to a lot of really interesting stuff I wasn’t aware of (e.g., I loved your video about The Path - a super cool thing I had never heard of!) Anyway, I write all that to say: 1) you should make videos about whatever you want to, because your passion for breaking down and talking about these subjects is clear in your videos and is a huge part of their appeal and reach, and 2) I genuinely love your videos about the Sims and am always happy to hear you talk more about the series :) it was a huge part of my childhood, too (specifically 2 & 3). Anyway, thanks for all you do! Hope you continue to make videos about things you’re passionate about; I’ll be here to watch. :)

honestly learning about the katy perry pack as a teen was devastating. the potential for an all-in-one pack that would let you create a maximalist color explosion candy world sounds amazing, but the actual contents of the pack are so phoned in and look like dog water in TS3's lighting system. a tragedy. also, wasn't the weddings pack actually banned in russia after the sims team announced they were going back on what they said and planning to release it there? like, them raising a stink brought attention to it or something-- i remember that being talked about, but it might've just been a rumor lmao

Island Paradise was my fave Sims 3 expansion (I had them all except showtime), but I don't really remember playing in the Isla Paradiso world at all. I had earlier downloaded a custom world by fagersims called Enekjaer Island, it's this super cute (and really nicely made) Scandinavian-inspired island. The world was made before IP came out and so i had a lot of fun adding the IP content to the world, adding coral reefs, a dock or two, and I loved building houseboats. I didn't have any of the issues you mentioned that I recall, but it probably helped that I wasn't using the Isla Paradiso world. Later I would visit some islands outside Stockholm in Sweden and I instantly remembered Enekjaer, I had such nostalgia walking around Swedish islands I'd never been to before, lol. fagersims really did such a great job, if you still play Sims 3 I definitely recommend it, it's still up for download.

I posted a ton on the Sims 2 website back in the day. I always want to get into the sims but its very cost prohibitive so I like to hear people talk about it as its a series I still want to enjoy.

[@flibbyjibby]

the sponsor sounds like such a scam

[@Cryptidkinger]

So it's annoying and inconvenient and I'd never use it unless you were truly so unemployed and broke... But it isn't a scam

[@cheesemcmuffin7229]

It does give you stuff but it takes like 200 hours to get one thing.

[@dreamofamansfortress9000]

Shhhhh izzzyzzz is just collecting the bag

[@YouHeardMeHoe]

Yeahhh. I know, get that money and all. But content creators shoveling obviously garbage sponsorships to their viewers leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[@orcsmoocher3207]

It's not really in that it gives what it promises. The effort -> reward ratio is just not worth it for most people unless you're constantly switching & downloading new games already anyways.

[@exlicor3447]

With every video your outfits get better and better, I’ve been on a crochet kick and now I NEED that hat

[@-4vv4]

holy shit they grew antennas

[@alexa5023]

Wait who is they

[@xoxolovez]

​@@alexa5023 They as in Izzy.

[@SelfMadeMillennial]

I’d love to see you do a video where you include the Sims 1 expansions too. There is such a big jump in game play from 1 to 2 so we often disregard it as the first pancake, but it was the center of my world for a while there!

[@takeshiyamamoto3473]

14:04 - with all these modders that have started putting their stuff behind permanent paywalls, even cc isn't easily accessible anymore. yes, there are several creators who do put their cc up for free or adhere to the early access rule, but a good chunk of the higher quality content is unfortunately paywalled (i'm looking at YOU specifically, cowbuild and leosims). i get that cc is difficult to make, but a lot of these cc creators are usually just ripping models from imvu and converting them.

[@itsanappl]

took me years later to realize it was island paradise that broke my game but it was such a fun expansion pack, still look back at it as one of the best packs

[@teddyb34r]

izz is the only source I trust for sims information

[@stay_comfy]

I absolutely love the hat. I'm honestly jealous it's not mine I'd love a review of every expansion. I'm not even that into the sims but I can tell you're passionate about it and it's really fun to hear you talk about. Don't try cutting the video for time either, 1 hour or 12, I'll be watching ! /nf /gen

[@snowflwr777]

I needed to practice my english and i didnt know what to watch or listen to like a podcast, and i found your channel! Good video😃

[@pikitat]

I love hearing you talk about the Sims. It's not a game series I enjoy playing but I've really enjoyed hearing you talk about the lore, production, and bugs. It's fun to hear someone talk about something they love!

[@shadeyshade4880]

28:08 Personally I'm a huge fan of your sims videos, so I wouldn't mind more sims-heavy content!

[@xbillie_bobx]

I love when you talk about the sims, its so nostalgic, comforting and I even learn something new from you about one of my favourite games!

[@stiriann]

99% of the sims 2 packs slayed so hard imo, i'm so glad sims 1 and 2 were my childhood games 😭❤️

[@Ireallywouldrathernot]

This reminded me that I need to try and mod Island Paradise so it actually works because I actually love(d) it but the neighbourhood became unplayable just as I was settled in and starting to get it D:

[@kaydraven]

Love the video! Will you do another where you talk about the other expansions not mentioned like seasons, Hot date, and Superstar?

[@idltdtstatgbotwily]

i love the looks you put together for the videos so much each time you're like a new cool OC design 💅✨

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

I love that you are covering all of the games and cracking some of those rose tinted glasses about the past. That being said, city living for sims 4 has run down apartments with mice and noisy neighbors who’s doors you have to bang on as well as beautiful penthouses for when you can move out of that crappy apartment and move up in the world. Tho I would still rank Sims 2 as doing apartment life overall best. As for active careers, I don’t think EVERY career needs to be active, my Sim who has an office job can just go to the office, I’ll see them when they get back. In fact, I like a mix of rabbit hole filler jobs and fun stuff that actually make sense as an active career. The detective career in Sims 4 COULD have worked if clue gathering was actually a thing and its not, the game just has a cycle of random things they throw at you and make it easy for anyone to be a detective. I think active careers should be inherently more challenging, like mini rpg. Tho I think a lot of the non-get to work active careers actually are fun to play. I got Get Famous on a lark in sale just cause I wanted the fame system for my musically talented sim. But decided to play with the active acting career and for a week I was literally obsessed and I still come back to it for some Sims. The Scientist career is also litterally the best thing in the Get to Work pack as it actually has progression that goes some fun places. I am still mad they have nursing as a lower stage of the doctor career as being a nurse and being a doctor are two different jobs and in 2024, we should know better. If all school and careers are active, then you are going to be missing someone’s day as most people get married and have kids in sims, I find too many active things get frustrating after awhile. As you have to pick and choose who you care to work on progressing the most. When I follow the active high school day I find my parent Sims just get left to their own devices a lot. Same with university if the Sim lives at home. In Sims 4, I think the failure with active high school was also the focus on classes over activities. I’d rather follow my sims to activities and clubs over class. I think this is something Sims 4 university was better at then Sims 4 High School Years. Class as a rabbit hole is totally fine for me, but an active school with club rooms and club activities would be fun. Also, by your sims “can’t go to the hospital” when they are preggers (Sims 4) do you mean for checkups or birth cause you can def give birth at the hospital if you have “get to work”. I usually have my babies at home now tho cause the trip isn’t worth it. You go, if you bring your partner a lot of time your partner/other baby parent/spouse gets distracted and wanders off to play on the computer or get snacks and your doc uses a weird machine to pluck the baby out, then you, the baby, and (if they came) the baby’s other parent just teleport home. There is no “experience” at the hospital that makes it worth going. Might as well stand in front of the bassinet and do it at home.

[@desmondhughlett7904]

A video about Polly pockets would be really interesting I think!! :3 lovvve this video! 🖤

[@Anya-b5s]

It’s amazing how much more in-depth and fun the Sims 2 was. It’s ridiculous that a game that came out 20 years ago was more engaging in so many ways than the Sims 4.

[@sulkybrother]

Could watch a whole vid of you gushing about your fav sims 2 expansions. the apartment & university segment was my fav

[@planetworm]

love ur sims content sm!!! would u consider making a video about the sims spinoff handheld games like urbz and bustin out for the gba/ds (the ones that are wacky adventure games lol)

[@kourioji]

I would really love a part 2 of this!! It'd be interesting to see how the community saw other expansions like the into the future one from sims 3 :))!! Lovee your sims videos!!

[@fanofeevee8724]

ive been binging your videos for like a month and i just wanted to say i love your content so much!

[@mekhane675]

"Gearhead" can also refer to fans of induatrial music. Due to how they dress, I'm pretty sure thats the definition that apartment life was going for

[@imogen5141]

I love love love your sims content, I rewatch your other sims videos a lot. So don't worry at all, I can't wait for MORE! 💓

[@AlyBeann110]

I literally look forwards to your every video. Thank you for being you and existing. ❤

[@stilbejeweled]

Hi izzy I have been watching you for years and you seem like a really great and genuine person 💗 💖 🐰

[@sleebyhollow]

I haven't played the Sims in years, but I do remember coming home from work on the bus when I was 17 clutching a grocery bag filled with the Sims 2 and a bunch of expansions my coworker had lent me. I was so sure someone was going to mug me for used computer games XD University and the pet one was my favorite, I liked having my sim write an essay while I wrote an essay so I could race against them. I hope that you'll cover the new Sims For Rent expansion soon, it certainly sounds interesting but I wonder if it's going to end up being a similar play experience to the careers one.

[@presidentalpaca]

the way i have cc of the exact shirt izzy is wearing

[@n00bJesus]

I’ve never played sims games, but always enjoy izzzyzzz’s vids talking about them! Always down for more.

[@machinamawatcher]

I watched this with my wife. She told me that she's one of probably a dozen people in the entire world who actually liked the Katy Perry expansion because she really loves bright colors and food-themed decor!

[@Rime_in_Retrograde]

I still remember the Makin Magic expansion for the Sims 1, and I think it remains my favorite. Everything from the atmospheric music, to being able to hatch a dragon and keep it as your (terrible, no good, very bad little arsonist) pet, to the magic dueling mini game & skill, to the ambiance, has still stuck with me. Actually, I just remember loving the Sims 1 (and some Sims 2) expansion packs in general, but Makin Magic is still the GOAT.

[@noorahf]

I just bought a new pack after trying to decide for 30 minutes. You're gonna make me question my choice all over again

[@Rat_Ranch]

RAHHH I LOVE YOUR OUTFIT!!! ESPECIALLY THAT HAT OMG! Also, your vids are PERFECT to listen to while drawing :D

[@celarts5752]

I feel like Get To Work is the most polarizing DLC I've heard of, either people love it or hate it

[@harveytubbs1438]

I come for the crazy outfits and makeup, I stay for the deep and thorough dives into random nostalgic subject matter, and the crazy outfits and makeup

[@ItsRaecocoa]

I cannot believe you skipped out on showing clips of Katy Perry recording her songs in simlish for that expansion pack!
