The Sims 4 with NO DLC!

Previously I bought every single Sims 4 DLC. So, now I'm going to disable it all and see what the base game is like!
Will it be a very fulfilling and enjoyable experience without all the DLC? Will EA be knocking on my door telling me to buy all the latest packs? knock knock They're already here....

The Sims 4 base game was such a blatant set up for a cash cow. Devoid of life and content if you didn't spend your wages on overpriced DLCs. Talk about predatory business practises.

[@ubermaster1]

Started playing Sims 4 a few months ago, and it felt so goddamn empty. Now have all the DLC(and no dont worry, I didnt give EA a dime), and it feels much better, but also so bloated. Sims 1-3 has the perfect balance of base game design, and DLCs that add content with value.

Technically, even this isn't "base" Sims 4. Even without all the DLCs, you're still playing with 8 years worth of content updates. Toddlers, ghosts, aliens, pools, basements, terrain tools, ponds, vehicles, burglars, police, firefighters, restaurants, playgrounds, hospitals, schools, gender customization, sim favorites, lots of create-a-sim skin tones/hair colors/makeup/etc., lot traits, tons of careers, some emotions/aspirations/traits, and even that stupid Wabbit Tablet you gave Elon weren't in the game at launch. To this day, it's missing hundreds of things that were staples of previous games. And at launch, like all EA games, it was a buggy mess that was even activating anti-piracy measures on legit copies (mine included), which made your $60 game unplayable for weeks after you bought it. Sims 4 was the worst of the series by far, and even now it only barely ekes out third place out of the four main entries in the series.

[@HeresorLegacy]

The pirated copy during the closed beta was better than the basegame, because EA retroactively locked content that was present in the beta behind DLC walls. So even after release the pirated version had more content than the legit copy, and ran better.

[@howard4558]

That is very subjective. Now, I'd say it's the 2nd best out of the series. Sims 2 is best for its amazing wants/fears system, then the sims 4. The sims 3 is massively overhyped, sure it has a lot of content but the majority of that content is boring and shallow. The only good difference between the sims 3 and 4 is that the sims 3 has an open world and so much traits, but that's at the cost of the lag. In sunset valley, there isn't really much to do. All the town square lots are rabbitholes. What is fun about waiting for your sims to come out of the cinema? And the vast majority of the countryside in sunset valley has nothing in it Don't get me wrong, the sims 3 is a way more ambitious game with lots of content, but it doesn't shine in actually making its content fun in any way. The sims 4 while less ambitious, its smaller amount of content is way more in depth, and I care more about that. PS: yes the sims 3 has those nice small details everyone likes to laugh at the sims 4 not having, but that is just a cosmetic thing. People laugh at people who like the sims 4 for caring about graphics when that's just as cosmetic and useless as those small details. They both make the world seem more alive

@@TinyCloud90 The sum does matter but the values are kinda whack at times the game legit does math to see what mood your sim is in the game wasn't designed as a single player experience it's an open secret

[@Zastier]

The emotions are kinda genius, in theory. A sim has a trait that makes them happy when they do a thing, this means they autonomously do said thing and become happy, leading to doing happy interactions with other sims thus changing how other sims react to them. In theory, it should make for far more interesting conversations and relationships. In practice however, that never gets to happen. Autonomy is so broken, sims never really do things that would have a meaningful effect on others. Traits have too little impact to actually define personalities and interactions. And because the individual moodlets work on a very simple addition system, even if the above was not the case it still wouldn't matter. There exists a variety of mods to address this, and honestly with better autonomy and trait balance the game becomes a lot more interactive and engaging. The fact that these are not something that they added to the game in the 8 years it's been out for is shocking. There have been mods to do this since 2014!

Others set up challenges where they try to have 100 babies or try to sleep with every sim in the game, its up to u what u prefer. theres definitely stuff to do in basegame ts4 but u really gotta look for something to do, instead of expecting the game to serve it to u, if that makes any sense.

Sims 4 is a weird game. For me, the Sims 4 will become like an entertaining game for maybe a month even less and then after that it feels lackluster for like a year. But at the same time, there's really entertaining youtubers that make years of Sims 4 content. Honestly, the Sims 4 could only be entertaining for so long when you're making content off of it for youtube/twitch. Other than that, just playing it on your own time, it ends up feeling like just a waste.

[@wyrmlight7446]

The story behind The Sims 4 is actually really interesting. It was scavenged from a cancelled online Sims game called The Sims Olympus. After Sim City 2013 was so poorly received being an online only game they scrapped the entire online idea and refit the game as a singleplayer one. That's why the game is far more restrictive than The Sims 3 and the content so severely stripped down compared to the old games. Many features such as an entire neighborhood you can walk around were taken away in favor of just having instanced properties you could travel to and from. Whats more interesting is a lot of the framework for an online game is still there. EA is even considering getting Maxis to readd in some of the multiplayer elements into it.

There's actually an interesting story about why sims 4 is really so stripped down, you can find videos about it, it's not just because they're mining for DLC What really happened is that sims 4 was originally meant to be an always online affair, kinda mmoish, a huge multiplayer focus. You know how EA love their Games as a Service nonsense. But when they tried to do that with the newest Sim City there was an enormous backlash, everyone hated that game for its always online "features" so they had to totally scrap almost the entire game really close to release. That's why the mechanics you see fleshed out are the ones that they could salvage because they would have worked the same way online. Create a Sim, Build Mode, those are the ones that clearly had a lot put into them cause they were already finalized for the online game. But that's why everything else relating to the single player world was basically nonexistent, cause they just didn't have the time to rework things like the careers, the worlds, etc for a single player build That's not to say that EA isn't moneygrubbing and constantly mining for that sweet sweet dlc cash, but it makes sense at least why it was so content sparce on release

@Bionick Toa yep that's about it sadly. I can't wait to start building my home town in Sims 2 or my own tropical city lol

[@rexdelta3367]

@Banni Iike I loved how you could easily morph your house I will say good feature. But honestly yeah it's very bringing nothing new to table sadly feels more like a off brand Sims 3.

[@Heattokun]

You need to remove the search terms to see everything like masculine / feminine clothing. Also it’d be fun to see the dlc in order

[@Lysaenai]

"No don't take your pants off Elon!" Oh Micky, how did you know

[@Gustoberg]

Man I love to enjoy the sims 4 with my girl that goes to the gym, you could say she's a fit girl with packs

[@capricorn878]

LMAO I can't believe that i get the joke, indeed she's the best

[@jackilantern6616]

You should try to play base game release sims 4, i bought it for like $60 on release and it was awful! Half the stuff in this video is from updates they added (prob for dlc lol)

[@jackilantern6616]

I spent like $300 on sims 4 and am in crippling debt :3

[@shr00mski]

Jim’s cardigan is very iconic, correct

[@milliedragon4418]

I recommend reinstalling the dlc but maybe one or two or three at a time and exploring each DLC more. Also explore the mod community there are some awesome gameplay mods out there. Even if you only have The Sims 4 base game it can still make it fun.

[@Tubepoacher]

You're missing the point

[@Cadapech]

Not really. The fact that you can't play the base game for hours on end is disgusting; on top of which the DLC is overpriced and doesn't give you as much content as a similarly priced DLC from The Sims 3. So yes. Sims 4 is a let down; it has its solid points but it was obvious EA used it as a cash grab. If you have to add mods that weren't even made by EA to have fun playing Sims 4...

[@Tubepoacher]

@@Radzood I don't think I am.

[@Tubepoacher]

@@Radzood you know I'm not.

[@OGspektrum]

Which hurts worse buying all the dlc or playing with no dlc lol

[@HONNEKI]

Playing with few DLCs, but what hurts is how much of a disappointment the last DLC you bought was, while also you have absolutely no money left.

[@JohnIsodore]

Hey, i came here because i googled "sexy irish dude" so thanks for the introduction.

[@milliedragon4418]

Build mode and create a sim basically is what makes the base game interesting. But the game play mode depressing. Just imagine how sad the game was when I started playing in 2014. I played the sims since the first sims. Then 2014 sims 4 had no pools, no basements, no terrain tools, no toddlers. The game is still missing some NPCs like burglars. There is no playable in cars. Even sims 1 had cars that would pick you up. Sims 2 added driverable cars with DLC. Cars in Sims 2 and 3 changed as the more successful you got in your job. Sims 3 just had playable cars in the base game. As far as the world you're in yes you're in a neighborhood that's just for building in. The base game with two worlds Willow Creek and Oasis springs.

[@lordushnub]

I think it would be cool to do a household but in order to make a new room you can only build up. Like you have one room at the bottom and build another on top of it and keep it goin'.

[@NolanAlighieri]

Watching your sims videos make me really want to play the Sims 3, but then I think about how much work it would be to download the game then track down the mods for it's performance (and of course pick up a few extra mods just because why stop at 1?) just sounds like a lot of work to just walk down memory lane...people need to just package these things up into a single exe... Also; I stan people who call Elon a prat.

[@yaraterveer6364]

My dad got Sims 4 without any DLC's for the Xbox very cheaply so I've been playing it a lot lately. I have no experience with any Sims games outside of My Sims and My Sims Agents my beloved

[@kenossa666]

Bro spent >500 Euro for Sims 4 but can't buy a comfy chair for himself :((((

[@KennyFrierson]

Sims 4 Lite Edition (for 60 bucks)

[@keiyangoshin3650]

Building the house is my favourite bit! It will take me a good hour or so. 🤣 This ‘giant cell’, needed windows. 👀 But Elon isn’t meant to be having fun right. 😁 I decided to not buy Sims 4, because honestly, it was ridiculously overpriced and the collection of DLCs was abusive. So thank you for playing for me Micky. 👍

[@StefanyDjuba]

have you ever heard about pirates of Caribbean?

[@hopefulamerican]

Hello Mickey! Hope you're having a good day. Haven't watched the video yet, still at work, but wanted to say good job and hope you have a good weekend.

[@Scott...]

If they remade the Sims 3 with all the DLC and Sims 4 CAS, they’d have the best of both worlds on their hands and it wouldn’t take too much effort.

[@fonzistemista]

"I don't like Elon Musk he's a bit of a prat" Immediately Subscribed.

[@BradTheThird]

I must say... Spending €466 on Sims DLC and then playing vanilla is one hell of a power move.

[@JayTohab]

Mickey: plays base game Me: This is more relevant to my budget

[@lukeluck13]

Yeah I bet a lot of folks understand this feeling

[@hysorn5266]

That The Sims 3 song in the beginning brought back some good ol' memories

[@Shushkin]

Coming home after a hard day's work and first thing I see is my boy Micky D has uploaded a new video! Makes me smile, ngl. :)

[@notsure1969]

Me too, man. He's a very funny and entertaining dude.

[@praisemidir]

imagine if this vid only gets like 1k views after all this money spent

[@MickyD]

i know that'd be very funny

[@BarokaiRein]

@@MickyD Nah the only way to get that few views would be to make a youtuber household

[@MickyD]

@@BarokaiRein you're onto something 👀👀

[@TechWechSech]

Micky is the go to youtuber for me to watch just to relax. Half an hour of nostalgia filled gags and bants about games I may or may not have played just hits a previously unknown to me right spot.

[@lowfn]

Even worse about the small clothes selection is you have no create a style

[@Larweigan]

7:10 when was this recorded? Can Micky see into the future.

[@Dee-Dee]

I was thinking the same thing omg

[@frankisnot1148]

I love how he said that people were complaining about him spending too much time in CAS, even tho CAS is arguably the most fun part of sims 4

[@mari_000]

Its the first time i watch you and you are the first sims player in a long time that i found natural funny 😂 all others are boring. Thanks for the laugh, i will subscribe

[@EmperorDarthOP]

Micky D Could you pleas play Harry Potter & The Camber of Secrets (PS1) Version?

[@josy230409]

sims 4 base game is now free.. to reel in more mone- i mean players

[@R4ND0MCR4P123R4ND0MN3SS]

I actually did play Boom Blox and it was one of my favorite games growing up. I miss it sometimes, it was just a lot of easy fun.

[@Bluevy]

Honestly, the DLCs are only $980 USD. Kinda a steal if you think about it. Idk why people hate on it. Can't see one thing wrong with it...

[@cancerbucketart9031]

Pretty sure part of the reason sims 4 base game is so fucked, especially when it first came out, was because during development it was originally an online game and they hastily had to change it. But yeah it's also just a huge cash grab

[@SnipeDude500]

NO MORE DLC

[@JM-dq7xn]

Irish man single-handedly overthrows shitty EA business model

[@LandonAndCassy]

why is no one talking about the jim pickens reference? all hail our dear leader🙏

[@trashmammal111]

I was looking to see if anyone else caught that!! Glad someone else noticed too. 😋💙

[@davejay6855]

Needs the Sims 1... it's the Morrowind of the series...

[@K-MasterGirl]

Can you imagine I played this without mods and DLC for the first 4 years? I still remember the pain. When I complained people just couldn’t understand why I was upset. Not to mention I bought it full price for $40 at the store- the next day they made it free on origin. I somewhat regret buying DLCs just because I gave EA money... Sims 4 is a sandbox game.

[@laneylion]

Yes I love your abstractly decorated house

[@WarthogRacer]

For even more "fun" play the unpatched 2014 version.

[@MickyD]

Might have to do that

[@brokenbiscuit3609]

My absolute favorite things about base Sims 4 are the character creator and the music. The building music is just 😩👌

[@GuyMaleMan]

Playing baase game sims 4 is like eating a raw slice of bread

[@idk4399]

sims 4 not on sale is like 1k for all dlc

[@bananabuns1369]

i paid like 4 dollars for sims 4, its like how movie theaters sell expensive fuckin popcorn because they get fucking nothing over tickets

[@kevinjackson4516]

How did you weasel your way into my heart? How dare you.

[@HumanPerson_final]

It's morally dubious, but in my opinion, the pricing and just the general way EA monetized/abused The Sims fanbase with The Sims 4 is all the justification I needed to (allegedly) torrent the whole damn thing. Screw EA. It's a fun game, but you need to mortgage your home to afford enough DLC to make the game worth playing instead of just playing TS2 or 3.

[@GeneralTsoChickenHead]

Sims 4 stream when?

[@superscatboy]

Sims 2 on the GsmeCube had a multiplayer versus mode. Have they ever brought that back? Begging in the park contests were dope.

[@billysmith5610]

I loved sim 3 because you guy or girl could jog all the way home from work and it takes a hour hahaha because open world and you could knock on people door and walk in no loading screen just see your nabers and go home

[@ChipsChallenge95]

This is like playing Fallout 4 without mods. Unthinkable.

[@Duskyberry]

And now they are making the base game free. They are so desperate to get more people to play and in turn spend money. I might actually try it now after all these years.
