  • Gameplay and overview of the SEVENTEENTH stuff pack to The Sims 4. What items can sims knit together in their rocking chairs? How does selling on Plopsy compare to Etsy? And is the pack more yawn than yarn, even with a metal radio station? Let's see!

      While disappointing, that's very understandable. I've honestly been wondering how much longer you would hold out on Sims 4 since the My First Pet Stuff pack. No quarrel from me, that's for sure.

    i know that people are saying “well the community voted for this pack!” but we kinda....didn’t? the way voting works is very manipulative. they start out with a broad idea than narrow it down so much that it’s stupid. i voted for arts and crafts in the beginning because I thought that it would be all about all aspects of arts and crafts. then the sims devs whittled it down so much that it just became knitting. the way that the sims team does the voting is so frustrating because you think you’re gonna get more out of something than what they actually give you.

I think he was a little harsh ( to be clear I think Nifty Knitting is way too shallow for $10, but calling it the most pointless add on yet is too much when there are packs like My First Pet Stuff and Laundry Day), but my issue with Nifty Knitting is the implication that if just that one aspect was $10, than the other 4 aspects that were up for the vote would’ve been worth an expansion or more, which is ridiculous. The Sims 2 Free Time gave you 10 hobbies of which a completely fleshed out Arts and Crafts was one, along with 6 new careers, and for $30.

      He was also really positive in his Sims 3 Late Night review, with his consensus being that it was the first necessary pack for the Sims 3. The only packs for The Sims 4 that came close to a “necessary” praise was Seasons and Get Together, and he seems to praise the game packs. When they’re done beating the long dead horse that is The Sims 4, I hope they get rid of stuff packs, and focus on optimizing game packs because game packs are trying too much while expansions aren’t trying at all. It’s sad, because as a whole I really do like The Sims 4, but the constant nickel and diming of its fan base and wasting a game with so much potential is disappointing.

      @A real bisexual petrol-head yeah, I use to have a trashy Toshiba laptop. It was so slow and couldn't handle my sims 3. Neither could any of my HP laptops. The Sims 4 definitely did run alot better on laptops, but I upgraded to a gaming PC. It's a Ryzen 7 and runs greatly. It's like heaven to play the Sims 3 now and ofc the Sims 4. But Sims 4 is damn right boring, Sims 3 over Sims 4 anyday. I'm just hoping if they do release a Sims 5 that it will be just like the Sims 3 but with better graphics and more interactions with other Sims like in the Sims 4. Because the expansion packs and everything in Sims 3 had alot more stuff in it. But I feel like with other Sims there's more interactions. I'd for sure buy the Sims 5 if it has the open world, more stuff and everything in the expansion packs and make it so we can actually play as our pets in it but with the Sims 4 graphics, human interactions and build mode. That shit would be great.

      If this was in Sims 3, it would've been a Sims 3 Store item available online for some ludicrously large number of SimPoint funbucks (and it'd be anyone's guess how many actual dollars it would cost you). Actually, the knitting equipment would probably only be available as a part of whole venue, like the glass-crafting one they did or the tea-drinking one.
      Point is, they've been doing these kinds of low-effort, low-content releases for longer than The Sims 4 has been around, it's just that you'd only notice it if you went to their website and looked. The only new thing about it is that now everything they do is front-and-center in the game menu and gets a trailer. The rest of it -- the price, the absurdly limited scope, the nagging question of "who is this FOR?", well, none of that is new at all.

    • @generaldisclosure2407
      @generaldisclosure2407 4 года назад +1

      @Ynouva Sure, but that was The Sims 2. My point is, this has been going on since *The Sims 3*, and the only difference between the Sims 3 Store collections and a Sims 4 Stuff Pack is that the latter gets marketed openly and has a price in actual money ($10, in the US) while the former was easily missed (if you did what everyone did and blocked all internet stuff from TS3) and had a confusing company-store cash-for-SimPoints exchange rate to wrangle with. Other than that, it's the same thing: a feeble smattering of items, maybe one ridiculously narrow and baffling "gameplay" feature that nobody really asked for and which dead-ends almost immediately.
      Really, it's how bad the Expansion Packs have gotten that makes me angry. I can ignore a Stuff Pack as easily as I ignored the Sims 3 Store, but there's no way to ignore the fact that a Sims 4 EP has maybe (if we're being absurdly generous) a third of the content that a Sims 3 Expansion did. And yeah, it all runs better and it's mostly integrated into the main game in ways that TS3 just couldn't handle, but good lord, how can they charge 40 bucks for THAT? (yeah, I know, it's because they run half-price sales on EPs every five or six weeks to keep their sales figures up for the EA mothership, but still!)

    The distinction between knitting and crochet is much appreciated by this practitioner of both!

I played some at a friend's house once, either 2 or 3 but I'm not sure, and I had a lot of fun! But these expansions seem like instead of adding more depth, they're just adding extra surface area. It's like diving into what used to be a big swimming pool of content, but just cracking your head on the floor of a paddling pool.

      I couldn't agree more. The whole stuff pack wasn't my cup of tea, didn't see the appeal. I kind of laughed when the metal radio appeared, because I didn't expect it to be there. But now it is there, I kinda want it. But not the stuff pack. The metal station, combined with some retro 80s and 90s grunge/goth clothing, that would be much better than the knitting. Kind of a Bon Jovi/Twisted Sister kind of stuff pack. Now that's a stuff pack worth the money.

      That pack(Freetime) also included sewing funnily enough, which allowed you to sew unique items and clothing (similar to knitting). Granted the sewing didn’t grant the same amount of unique items as this pack does, but the sewing in Sims 2 was a small feature in a bigger expansion pack. I’m kinda sensing a theme here, since they also did this kind of thing with bowling and laundry.

    Are you ready for when EA decides to create "The Sims 5" and literally remove every single piece of content to turn it into DLC? It's kinda odd. A new game in "The Sims" franchise always has less content than its predecessor. And during its lifetime, it never gets as much content as the previous one, or gets way too boring and lacking stuff for a long period of time. Just waiting for a game that does to The Sims what Cities Skylines did to SimCity: force them to start innovating and taking the developers off their comfort zones.

I mean, they cheered for firefighters, like that was something actually new.

      I remember when it seemed like EA/the Sim Gurus were trying to "buy off" LGR by giving him free access codes for a while. Like they wanted him to change his tune. When that didn't work they stopped.
      I'm sure it's worked with other Simmers though. And now EA has some reality TV show planned based off of Simmers competing for shit in real life.

    However, when we tried to push for Elders the "KnITTING iS fOrR eVERBoDy" crowd VOTED against it. Like this is ridiculous. The community even offered suggestions for more minor activities to include in this. All we got is grandma daydreaming about a childhood that's not currently possible in game and whatever this is.
