Regarding Parenthood: character values have some more important effects which actually weigh on the gameplay. Especially when it comes to responsibility: Responsible Sims get far more promotions at work, while irresponsible Sims find it essentially impossible to progress in their careers. I got a sim max three character values for the aspiration of the mother and he reached the top of his carreer really fast. Meanwhile, I had an irresponsible sim with all the right skills max out, all the daily tasks done and she never got past level two of her carreer (she even got demoted twice). So, yeah, they influence gameplay if you actually manage to get the extra traits

I feel like Dream Home Decorator and My Wedding Stories were meant to be stuff packs, but they probably released them as game packs to tack on a higher price point due to them losing money during the pandemic. It would explain why around this time stuff packs just became non-existent. Those were supposed to be it. If they released them both as SP's they probably wouldn't have flopped as hard considering they wouldn't have had to focus too much on gameplay. That's where they fell short - trying to fit such little content into a bigger title.

I think they were testing out what the community would appreciate more, an expansion pack with a lot of gameplay or an expansion pack that would focus on the building mode :)

The pack comes with these marks you put on the floor and you can have your Sims stand on the marks to pose together for photos, even toddlers, even guests, it's great, I take so many photos of families now. You get a tripod and a fancy camera and that's literally the only thing worthwhile in the entire pack BUT if you can get it on sale and you want to fill your Sims house with family photos and cute photos of your toddlers, totally worth it

I love Realm of Magic. Really the only problem I have with the pack is that it can make your sim TOO powerful. When you discover potions and get the free sample, NEVER use them. Just put them on a table and copypasto them to make copies. Infinite rejuvenation potions + plentiful needs. Stay the same age and no need to actually take care of your sim. It's almost 'legal' cheating and I love it.

Very nice. The thing I hate about snowy escape is that it’s poorly designed. The lifestyles are random and never get used. To get to places you have to travel to a lot and walk here which is stupid.

great video, agree with almost everything you said! I would like to add that for me (I have the full dlc), there's also small specific things that just break from certain packs. The tea brewer for example, for me it queues up 3+ times to drink tea autonomously whenever a sim walks past the tea brewer. Like, for no reason. Even if they're dying and all of their motives are low, they still want to drink tea rather than go to the bathroom. It's gotten to the point where I had to remove the tea brewer since it was messing up actions i put in queue. Also the bowling alley doesn't seem to work at all for me. I wanted my sims to play a game together at a bowling alley, I was expecting them to take max 3 or 4 in game hours but no, after 8 in game hours they were still not done with 1 measly game!! I'm just putting this out here so people that were thinking of buying the packs with these specific things know what they might get into. Of course this could be just my game, but I play with barely any mods installed (only MCCC which shouldn't cause problems, I always keep it updated and its a very well created mod). Edit: currently playing and i also forgot to add that the Highschool Years update i believe broke the dust kit. All my sims houses do NOT build up any dust whatsoever, rendering the vacuums useless. I can only use them as decoration which really bummed me out.

I like the idea of high school and would always love more CAS for teens and young adults, but you don't really do much IN school, and the "events" are kind of.. off. Teens calling adults and asking them to prom? Even if they've never interacted? No. It just.. y'all. I will say though!.. my favorite "doesn't always work" game addition is butlers. I've had beyond helpful butlers who made the house run smoothly, butlers who I forgot were in my house, and one particular butler that wanted to do nothing but make "juice" beverages.

Just looked over all the packs I wouldn't mind uninstalling.. I am embarrassed at the amount of money I've used on TS4, nothing will beat the experience of The Sims 2, and The Sims 3

Late comment but just wanted to say how much I love your videos and thanks for your honest reviews of Sims content. You’re one of my go to Sims content creators because of your honest opinions. Got to say it took me a long while to realise how buggy the game was because I’m one of those players who usually only uses occult style gameplay so from my perspective I always felt the Sims was doing an amazing job with vampires, werewolves and spell-casters who felt much more in-depth than they had been before. I feel bad for those family players who want a proper life sim game and have such disappointing content with things like my wedding stories being such a car crash. It does feel like the Sims team currently have a bit of a bias toward that more occult gameplay.

I don't ever use maxis clothes or hair, because they look like shit lol, so I never buy a pack for clothes or items, or hairstyles. I usually get them for gameplay features. I've been really debating on getting movie hangout and bowling night, because I think it would be cool to build a movie theatre that actually plays movies, and a bowling alley, because I like bowling, and I like the vibe of bowling alleys. I just think it would be cool to have something else for my Sims to do. Give them a reason to get out of the house, and hang out with their friends.

I really like Get Famous because I turned my obsession w/ CAS into a career using mods. I also really like Dine Out now that I have Carl's mod, which makes it actually work......Sims is such a scam when you think about the fact mods are the only thing making it fun.

As a Star Wars lover, I really liked the game pack. Yes, it’s pretty disconnected from the rest of the game, but I love the idea of creating myself as a Sim and working my way up to either the first order or the resistance. A lot of fun IMO

I don’t own seasons and don’t want to. Really, what’s the point? It’s basically cosmetic. And it will be raining a lot in worlds that without Seasons are beautiful. I hate that there’s no diversity. A holiday is either in the calendar for EVERYONE or you remove it entirely. No college roommates celebrating their own holidays, no ability even to hate Valentines Day or whatever. The holiday happens, and everyone HAS to participate or they’ll be sad. 🤦🏼♀️ Then there’s seasonal plants that just barely add a minor nuisance because you just put a roof over your garden and done. I have Snowy Escape, so I can play in the snow. I have Island Living, so there’s plenty of swimming. Why add rain?
@lin1130 Жыл бұрын
I skipped seasons on principle, but I did want snow. Does it actually snow in Snowy Escape without seasons? I've been tempted to buy it since I love Japan and the world looks beautiful, though skiing isn't much of a selling point for me.
@bookcat123 Жыл бұрын
@@lin1130 It’s permanently snowy - with varied weather, sometimes sunny, sometimes snowing lightly, sometimes blizzarding - in the top neighborhood in Snowy Escape. And there’s a snow festival. 🙂❄️ Bug warning: The workaholic lifestyle can be a nuisance. And I think some people still have issues starting the mountain expedition. But overall, I enjoy the pack

Really, none. You will get exasperated over bugs, how you have to buy packs you do not want just to get a feature you do want, how those type of packs is almost never on sale anymore unless you bundle, and lastly, you will just get bored with Sims 4 and tired of EA never adding most things players want in the game.

Satch: “Weather is necessary.” Is it, though? Without weather, you can use the yard/balcony for hobbies “year round.” With weather those hobby items need to be able to fit somewhere in the house unless you live in Sulani or Oasis Springs.

I really honestly appreciate you making a video doing all the sims 4 games. I love the sims 3 game but unfortunately I can not play it well on my laptop any more even though I have a newer one built for gaming, because of the bugs and lagienes for it. I have been very anxious and nervous about getting the sims 4 because of it being so broken up and also expensive on top of that. This really helped me decide which games were even worth playing from the ones I liked in the series. Also I have heard that the game play is better on steam, so if you had a lot of issues using origin like I did, it may work a little better on steam.

The stuff packs are so infuriating because like... why not put these things into other expansions packs? Spooky stuff should be in Seasons. Vintage Glamour should be in Get Famous. Bowling should be in Discover University. And we don't even talk about My First Pet Stuff.... It is SO blatantly cash grabby. EA is really on my shit list at this point 😭😭
