  • I bought every single bit of DLC for The Sims 4. Every expansion, pack, items, whatever. I bought it all. Was the money worth it? Does the game run well with every single bit of content installed? The nice thing is all the DLC was 50% off at least...

    As someone who has ALL the Sims 4 DLC, here's my take:
    If you feel as though you can get your money's worth then it is worth it. However, you have to actively explore the packs and decide if each and every one will have use. There are very few packs I regret buying (My First Pet, Luxury Party, Batuu, a couple others) but overall I enjoy at least a single item in every one. ALSO UNDERSTAND YOUR GAMEPLAY. If you don't like gameplay but love building, then sometimes the kits don't seem pricey because you'll be using them so often. Consider how you want to play, how often you play, and whether or not you'd have fun.
    That being said, the kits are a scam.

    • @cactuspulp
      @cactuspulp 2 года назад +78

      This is a very insightful comment. I have only purchased packs that have appealed to me and after a decent amount of research that I would enjoy what they add. I am much more likely to purchase a game pack compared to stuff packs or kits because I tend to prioritize gameplay over building and some CAS items. Totally about how you play.

    The Sims 3's life span was just over 4 years, and within those 4 years they managed to come out with some of the best packs ever in the series mostly generations and late night but most of them held a purpose to the gameplay and just made the game better (not including sweet treats, i'd like to forget that exists), yeah sure there's alot of down sides but i'm glad it didn't get the treatment of the Sims 4, and that is pumping out meaningless stuff that could of been combined in expansion packs and still releasing broken DLC 8 goddamn years into it's life cycle. literally they could release a pack on literal toilets and i wouldn't be surprised at all lmao

      Honestly, the Sims 3 for all its greatness already was a monetization scam with the online store, crackdown on user-mods and endless DLC.
      I much prefer the way Sims 2 was done. Sure Sims 2 had DLC, but it was split in Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs. Expansion packs enriched the game in a meaningful way, whilst the Stuff packs where just for those who wanted to spend extra money on some niche items. Nowadays, Sims is nothing _but_ Stuff packs.

    So what happened was that Sims 4 players really wanted "opt out" options for gameplay, so if you really want to get involved in the dlc, you have to make an effort. They did this because people who like family-style gameplay didn't like having witches and fairies running around and making themselves known.

    People complained about all the in-your-face popups in both the Sims 3 and Sims 4 so they took them away. But if you want to know what your DLC does you can activate tutorials at any time from the game options menu. The natural way in the Sims 4 to find stuff to do is talking to other sims! Just travel to all the different neighborhoods and talk to the sims around there! Soon you will be getting tons of calls and texts messages and invites for stuff to do :D

JTB has two such aspirations. Or the GTW careers that allow you to follow your sim to work offer more gameplay depth.

    Mods go a long way. There are a few that are basically necessary imo cuz they expand the emotions, traits, etc. Like the modders go hard lol. For example, there's a pregnancy mod with hospital stuff and everything. So it's a cool mod for players that want a sprinkle of realism when playing. Like ya know making your Sims go to paternity classes and do yoga and all that. Some people like storytelling like that.
    For traits specifically ya can add new traits and expand the amount of traits ya can equip. Another one would be Vampires. Werewolves just came out and Vampires is showing its age imo. So there's a decent amount of Vampire mods that can alleviate that. Obviously there are sadder occult bits in the game. Aliens and Mermaids basically have no content and are probably assured to get a rework or something eventually.
    Edit:
    Like the Highschool stuff coming soon is probably gonna have shallow bits and all that jazz. So personally I just have high expectations for the mods that will add onto it. It's why agree that ya should avoid spending a lot on the game. Buy on a chunky sale, look up which dlc is decent and which you shoild ignore or... ya know 😉
    Like I don't support piracy in most cases but I do think sometimes it can be pretty valid tbh. For example, game preservation.

    @SlightlyFizzled 2 года назад +447

    The Sims 4 may fall short in just about every aspect when it comes to gameplay, but building and character creation have been extremely refined (minus the performance heavy create-a-swatch), and the mod scene is better than ever, with content that far surpasses official expansions. For creative types, it's an even better "doll house simulator" than the Sims 3. Personally, I miss the gameplay of the older games too much to be entirely on the side of Sims 4. It still lacks that rewarding feeling.

      @GHOST5800000 2 года назад +15

      Only thing I can say in defense of 4 is that removing the open world makes it so way more people can actually play the game (think of how many people couldn't even play 3 cause it was terribly optimized and loaded an entire map at all times, or they couldn't run 3 but still played, experiencing the entirety of the game on like 3 frames per second) and also the way the sims can actually interact with each other/multitask like eating, watching tv and talking to Sims all at the same time. Those systems are improved and nobody ever mentions it and its not very fair for S4, yes the launch was awful and its still not a 10/10 Sims experience but its way better now and there are a few advancements in gameplay systems that everyone over looks because "Boo hoo wah wah no more open world ;(" Only things I do miss really are cars/bikes, and the create a style system should have been brought back. Thanks for listening to my Sims talk.

    I totally agree with Micky D's point about EA & their extortionate amount of DLC, as well as how much they charge for it. I remember buying the Cats & Dogs DLC for my sister for her birthday about 4 or 5 years ago & it was like £40 or something! I mean I could've bought a full game for that price. She barely even played it too, to add insult to injury...
    Anyway I appreciate you trying to educate us on how not to spend our money Mick D my boy but don't feel you need to do something like this again for a while. We'll be more than happy with a few more Morrowind, Harry Potter & James Bond videos, I'm sure.

    For the record, a big part of why I started watching you is because your voice and comments often remind me of CallMeKevin... and my favorite series of his is the Sims games. I think you'd gain massively from playing the Sims relatively often- you can be very goofy with it.

    You’d make your money’s worth if you made a series. I’ve always been interested in what the game would really look like with every dlc.

    I respect modders that manage to fix/optimize/improve games. But it seems like negatively training a dog, companies realize they can release broken unfinished games knowing the unpaid community will fix it
