EA is scum and you deserve better... (A Sims 4 Rant about Infants & the New EP)
After the stuff I've been seeing and hearing about the new update and upcoming pack, I have to get how I feel off my chest. This isn't the usual content I like to make, but how EA have set this up has made me angry despite disliking The Sims 4 anyway. How loyal fans are treated and how EA have bled The Sims series dry is appalling, which is what I wanted to get off my chest.
If you're looking forward to this pack, love The Sims 4, or you're an EA apologist, I wouldn't watch this.
I made this entire video on my phone, since the PC is inaccessible at the moment. Any errors, or issues, are due to that. Also, I know the gameplay isn't Sims related, but I had no footage to use for the background...

    I played this neighborhood once, but it was only so I could have a Sim I've created somewhere. I had her marry John Mole.I guess there's nothing wrong with the neighborhood, but I agree that compared to the other premade hoods, it's pretty mellow. I also feel they cut back slack on the architecture.

Have them drink it at the same time and make them do some romantic interactions 4. Have one of the sims propose while the potion is in effect 5. They will become engaged and after the cut scene plays they will fall in love again

      @CrystalFlame360 11 месяцев назад

      I'm so sorry about that! I forgot about this portion of the video. I don't think I used an actual mic here, hence the buzzing/beeping, because the mic I was using before was in another room, and I just wanted to throw a quick note in while editing. I didn't know how to get rid of the sound (even with Audacity tutorials), and so I stupidly _upped the gain/volume_ because my voice was too quiet. I'd love to get better audio equipment, but I can't exactly afford to (haven't been able to for years) right now. I do this as a hobby, so I'm just working with what I have for now. But I have been putting money to the side for a mic, it's just taking a while. I'm aiming to get a better mic early next year, at least, that's how it's looking. I'm trying to better my audio editing in the meantime. Again, I'm sorry for the horrid noise at 9:00 . I somehow saw no issue with it at the time, but looking back, I should have just grabbed my normal mic and recorded the note. It still wouldn't have been the best but better than that.

    Desiderata valley has some drama lol. If you play aspir family you'll notice that Elizabeth (the mom) always brings home this teenaged boy named Jack Kim or something and then when he grows up they have chemistry and she gets wants to hang out and ask him out and all that gross shiz 😅 when I first started playing them she was obsessed with Jack who is a teenager.

    • @CrystalFlame360
      @CrystalFlame360 11 месяцев назад

      That honestly sounds like a glitch you encountered related to bringing hobby friends home, which Cyjon has a fix for. It's not normal game behaviour for an adult or elder sim to bring a teenage co-worker home and Jack's career is randomised when you load the hood for the first time, making it even less likely to be intentional. I've also never had this happen in my time playing the hood, both the Maxis shipped version and the fixed templates. Speaking of the fixed templates, if Jack Kim was important to the Aspirs' story, meetmetotheriver wouldn't have removed him from her fixed templates. Again, it sounds like something specific to your game due to a glitch, not a scripted event, but it's great that it brought drama to your game, though 😆

  • @agwarddd
    @agwarddd 11 месяцев назад

    Some things I do kinda hate with average simming playthroughs; Villainising Dina and Nina bothers me. I hate the idea that gold diggers just being evil black widows. Dina seems like a nice woman in general, yes she’s a gold digger, but what if it is just because that’s the kind of man she falls for? A man who can provide for her? Who can give her the life she wants? I usually let her marry Mortimer and she becomes a good motherly figure to Alexander, bc she’s effectively fulfilled as a rich man’s wife. And just making romance sims evil cheaters is, to me, a horrid lack of imagination. Romance sims want romance, and yes they fear commitment, but a highly romantic relationship CAN fulfil them still. I see them more as flawed and needy sims, and they can still have happy marriages regardless of being romance aspirations. Look at Herb Oldie, after all, he’s still solidly committed to Coral, despite his aspiration. Sure, Don and Daniel are set up as bad men and cheaters, but Nina starts out only interested in Don. So why do we just treat them all as cheaters? And why not villainise Kaylynn Langerak for also being a cheater, just bc she’s nice and a Family sim? She’s seeing Don AND Daniel, after all.
