Im not saying that children don’t play this game because they probably do, but the sims would do so much better if they recognized that a big chunk of their audience is adult.
Yeah, I dont really understand their direction. We grew up with the sims and now that we're older, we have our own money. I wish they would use Lego's strategy more where they focus on the adults that have grown up with the product.

SAME! That's one of the worst things they could of done considering muscle memory and all that. But we all know EA Doesn't play their own game and they don't care 😂 i bet and pray a modder comes to fix it for us
It feels intentional, since we instinctively look to the right to start the game, we will automatically look at the ads until we get used to the new layout. I bet that’s what’s they’re banking on
Three days of hype building and a whole creator countdown for a SEVEN minute video in which we got a bunch of stuff that should be included ten years ago is peak EA.
The fact that I thought it was gonna be a whole livestream, but no it was 7 minutes of them telling us we are getting FIVE kits this month.. and a free update next month Is the Celebration in the room with us? celebrate by giving us all your money or what.
They had announced last year they weren't doing project Renee any more that they had canceled it about time that they released information about the movie, so I don't know why people keep thinking it's being made they might be making other Sims related games but I think project Renee itself is scrapped
I JUST repaired my game twice yesterday because it wouldn’t stop crashing. Smfh, now today there’s brand new everything and I need to redownload all of my script mods. I just want to play my damn game!
I really think they should add in characters into the world that will let people replay past events as many times as they want for each sim they want. It wouldn't fix the bugs, etc but it might help at least offer more options
Probably not since it’s from an expansion pack and they’ve already squeezed all the money out of us with that. Ever wonder why we didn’t get more pack refreshes?
@@Fiemus9wait a minute …right…what happened to the „we going to refresh the packs“? 😅 I literally forget about that 😂😂 haven’t they just refresh this spa pack and that’s it? 😅

They did spa day and then have been quiet about it since, my theory is they didnt see a significant sale or gain, and they just quietly stopped mentioning it and hoped people forgot about it, which they did lol, which indicates to me they're probaby not going to touch old packs at least not in any significant way other than maybe cross-compatabillity with future packs
Fun drinking game for that 24 hour livestream: take a shot everytime the game crashes. Actually don't do that, I don't want to be responsible for anybody getting alcohol poisoning.
I wonder why some people experience crashing and others don’t. For me I have probably only had a handful of crashes since 2014, and it’s usually due to a broken mod. I play on both PC and Mac. The sims 3 on the other hand always crashes for me
Take a shot every time they say cute. Take another shot if they do something cringe. Take a third shot if they breathe in copium to lie about their broken game. Congratulations, you got drunk within five minutes of the livestream.
Thank you! I've been working hard on building an alive neighbourhood with more interesting people to talk to and I would be mad if I had to start all over again.
Some creator made all these items available right after the update lol so I can confirm that your Sim can get inside the cake and surprise people… Imagine dressing up your Sim with one of those Lovestruck costumes and surprising their partner by coming out of the cake 😂
I agree but I feel like they should update all the houses in the basegame worlds so they all match. It would improve the feeling of the game sooo much Edit: I've now watched Satch's video and I agree 100%. I was SO excited until I realised I still have to manually edit all the houses and townies before starting a new save🥲
They're probably working on the unoccupied houses. Take a look at Garden Essence - Legacy Version in My Library and you will see a new house where Daisy Hovel is at.
@@jasminesanna EA wants to "disrupt the sequel model" by supporting The Sims 4 for another 5 years. First impressions are very important for new players and when the house don't match this could result in a bad first impression.
I am NOT a fan of the events, like at all. It makes it feel like the mobile game. Which isn’t bad at all but this isn’t a mobile game, lol. But I’m down for some throwback items in the game. I really like the simple CAS items for my non-played households. Sometimes I don’t like modding every single household in every single world. The kitchen set looks like a reshade of some HeyHarrie CC. Really love Marlene for shoes, AHB for their hairs, Piersims for his build/buy and SYB for alpha build/buy.
If you watch the livestream and see who are the people behind this game. You may notice why we don't get enough cas items for male sims. This is just childish behavior and they should be fired.
They probably didn't want to pay anyone to update the regular houses because most Simmers will bulldoze all houses except for the main NPC homes when they play, but I do agree that they could've updated a lot more lots such as parks, libraries, gyms, bars/lounges/nightclubs, etc. I've learned to never get my hopes up with The Sims over the past decade. Thank you for another honest opinion. It's always appreciated!
I still think that something related to sims 3 is coming cause when they first showed the eyeballs emoji thing last on the “roadmap” there was the little sul sul from the sims 3 intro. So we definitely shouldn’t lose hope 😩
Be carful for what you wish ! Because this is the most cashgraby company. If they do they will probably make more awful dlc and make it family friendly and add ads. 😢😅😅
Im a sims/EA hater I guess. I was very unimpressed. Great, thanks for giving my doll house more shit….can the game be fun now? I’ve played the sims since the first one, the spin offs. EA used to be able to make fun games that had cool/fun build/buy objects. Idk the sims 4 is so unimpressive and it’s sad.
I've been WAITING for your video!! I logged into the Sims today completely forgetting about the Behind the Sims this morning (not that I expected anything ANYWAY, but...). I was legit taken aback by the new menu screen and the builds for base game townies. I for once can say I'm impressed with what the Sims has in store for us over the next few weeks. That base game update coming up is genuinely exciting.
We deserve so much better, but as a community, we get what we deserve... and most of the community is full of people with low expectations. I am not happy with this pitiful announcement, its was crumbs and I thought they were cooking a whole meal.
Legit…. Reading comments like “im genuinely impressed with how big the update is” or “glad they updated the houses” like…. Wake tf up did we watch the same video? Idk if people know they can expect way more from a video game nowadays?
@@seraphime33 The consumerism cycle continues. God, I hate it here. Why am I here. I haven't been able to play my game for months. Why don't I leave. LET ME OUT OF THE CYCLE.
@seraphime33 Exactly! The only good thing about this update was the free items added to BG and the patch notes... but this whole announcement could have been an email. And the houses piss me off. The community has been remaking those homes for a decade. More rss that could have gone towards bug fixes imo 😒
I just spent several hours last night redownloading all my custom content just to make sure it was all up to date. Of course I did. So off to create a new game to check things out. Thanks for keeping us up to date!
I will be playing the event purely for the phones and alarm clock, quite honestly. I grew up on the Sims 3 so my nostalgia is SCREAMING right now and I will absolutely be putting them in every build of mine
I would also like to point out that yesterday (eastern time) THE SIMS 3 GOT AN UPDATE!!!! Making it so we do not have to use the alder lake patch. Honestly kinda shocked that EA actually did something 😂
When people heard “an update to the base game builds” im sure most of us immediately thought of the starter homes. And here we are, duped again. It’s so infuriating how much they cut corners and disappoint.
I think that I'll refurnish pretty much all kitchens after that update... Pierisim is the author of some MASSIVE CCs. Things like an unified collection of up to 6 matching CCs, each containing up to 80 new build items, in a given style. Oak House (6 parts) MCM (5 parts) Comaine du Clos (4 parts) Why didn't they at least updated the interior of the starter homes ? No need to redo the shell, just update what is inside.
And after some time EA will add them in game for everyone, like they did with the first one and the reapers rewards. So really the event is just like an early access
@@Aibhae don't get me wrong, she seems nice and all but I remember her being excited for some previous Sims 4 roadmaps and content, content which turned out to not be too great, so it sort of scares me ✌️😔
I don't want to hate on her; she's doing her job. It is extremely cringe-worthy when they make people up to look younger. Who does this impress? Is the target audience 11 or something?
12:21 in my preexisting save, it actually looked like they had replaced the old lots (for the builds that I hadn't done anything with) but then when i went to take a look in one of them it was the old one and when I returned to the map it was the old build again 😅
@@NikkiV. I don't think they could edit an ongoing world, otherwise If you're sims were living there you could log in one day and find you're house gone. Apparently they've added the new versions to the Maxis gallery though if you want to put them in an ongoing save.
I had to delete after that update for the last EP because the game just crashed in CAS. I tried everything, removed all mods, did it all. Nothing worked. Even the game without and mods… It was not working. Gave up
They didn't update every base game build because the starter/mid price lots have to stay lower price but the households can have the same funds with a different house. Why they didnt do community lots? idk
Watched some of the live chat and it was beyond cringey. I guess this explains a lot. They talk to us like we are 5! I am thrilled about the Sims 1 items we are getting, but 'sigh' don't expect a stripper to pop out of the cake, either Satch. Maybe an explosion; meteors from the Sims 3. Now that would be fun!
event items are fine, but they fail to realize how many of their players have jobs and lives that don't allow play every day, also the holiday event actually bugged where I couldn't complete the event at all because the new recipe never showed up for me on the wheel, so those items being locked away forever pisses me off.
WOW congrats on having a longer video than the announcement video and didn't even mention how this was all announced in 7 minutes. Not to crazy about it and looking at the blast from the past event the items for week 2 look to be Sims 3 inspired as the blue neon suit looks to be a Sims 4 version of Emit Relevart from Sims 3 Into the Future. Maybe the sims will travel back in time (like previous versions, Sims 1, 2, and 3) and into the future (introduction of Sims 5 or project renee or something new). Guess we will see what comes up, but more interested to hear and see what EA has for the future of the franchise and not so much on Sims 4.
The newer builds stick out like sore thumbs against those unhabited homes, really... I think I preferred it before, honestly, it looked less striking before. Either renovate them all, or don't.
I was watching the episode and after they blew up the candles I thought okay so we have all the obvious announcements out of our way now tell me those big news and that's when the screen got black. I thought there is something wrong with my TV and I turned it off and on in panic I went back to youtube... And this is when I realized it was just the end of the opisode
I don't even play sims 4 almost year, just watch news videos about sims news, playing only sims 2 and I'm happy😊. No amount updates will bring me back to sims 4
It seems like events are to be like almost consistent like ”seasons” in battle passes. Given how the second one finishes they announce a new one.. that means we will have stupid icon in the corner more often than not. WHY ISNIT THERE IF I FINISHED THIS WEEKS ”QUESTS”
2:09 I swear I had the sliding door weeks ago 😭 I remember using it in a build but I haven’t played the sims in a while cuz I have a new laptop which I haven’t downloaded the sims on yet
I really like the new main screen with my current household displayed❤. The poses change each time you load in and the new basegame homes are in my current save👍
I made it a point to no longer follow Sim influencers once they become corporate sell outs and shills. Mod creators I will always support because they honestly make the game better. The new builds look good.
In the art for the next event there is a sim who looks suspiciously like Emit Relevart from Into the Future. His clothes are even part of the event, it looks like. And one of those milk cartons has Bella Goths face on it. They could do a missing Bella scenario.
I literally got so happy about the event, the alarm clock and phones are something I always hated was missing in Sims 4 and it's such a staple to making a house in any other sims game. I hope theyre functional.
I wish they would give us a color wheel to colour everything the way we like, like hair and clothes. I loved the fashion creator kitt on sims 2 and the integration of it in sims 3. It is something I'll always miss apart from the car. Sims 4 is probably never going to happen the way we would love it, are we still stuck in endless loading screens?
I visit the homes of townies - but that's pretty much because I tend to play as a vampire and I want to feed without having everyone in the game hate me. A couple families is fine.
The new menu screen doesn't seem to be compatible with cc - I turned mods back on after the update but my family are all bald and missing their clothes... 🙃
@@himechan1211 Same for me - just on the main menu screen (luckily!) But it's like 'hm... which bald and n*ked family shall I play with today..?!' 😅😅 Not a good look!
Are they still bald after playing them? I haven't tried the update yet, but with the old menu turning cc back on wasn't enough, you had to load the file and after that the menu would be fine.
Fr, they literally just take some of the fem hairs that look slightly less feminine and say they made new hair 😭 Like you can just put fem hairs on guys anyways if you want to lol. They are so lazy.
Casually putting Bella, Emit Relevart, and Captain Ginny on the milk cartons is a nice detail. I think I also see that one guy from Pleasantview who is said to have drowned but has a clone in the actual game?
@Juno-l9m Yeah, and the fact the "time sickness" death type from Sims 3 Into the Future has a sim literally disappear, it's nice they put a missing picture of him. Also, while it's not the majority, some of the rewards are definitely referencing him, and I believe the sim shown on the picture with all the rewards is Emit.
I feel like for the house updates, they should have updated the community lots at the very least. Make some lots toddler/infant friendly with a potty and toys for example. Ideally a changing table, but well... that ship has sailed. I never want to bring toddlers anywhere because the world is literally not made for them. I feel like that could have been a nice addition. Or something like a pool in the Oasis Springs gym, gender neutral bathroom doors (not necessarily for nb sims, but for the player: I can't see which toilet is for male sims when the walls are down), more art in the museum from the creator paintings they have added to the game...
i actually really like the idea of having the name, money and date/time of the last household you played on the main menu, it might make me click resume instead of new game lol
I think for the empty houses it makes a bit of sense theyre more empty because then you can do the decorating and get your own stuff, but it would be nice to have the basic stuff done up more or have a couple well furnished houses for the ppl who dont want to decorate
can someone tell me why ALL my old families are gone and everything that was saved in my gallery?? i honestly want to cry its been years worth of saving and building and its all gone today because of a stupid update?? i cant even figure out how to get my mods to work because in settings it says mods are enabled. im so over all these stupid updates their game is so broken its ridiculous!!!!
Mersea keeps giving me Cocomelon/Miss Rachel vibes. I can’t watch if it’s not filtered through someone else. I feel like there should be a toddler in the room when I try to watch without you.
I feel so much embarrassment for them. Just imagine, these poor little ppl in offices getting ordered to come up with another exciting "brand new feature" cause big rich EA wants money. Nothing they release run for more fhan few months, whims, likes/dislikes etc, it all gor abandoned so quickly. Its all to put in a list so simmers think there is SOMETHING given to them when its not 😭
Im not saying that children don’t play this game because they probably do, but the sims would do so much better if they recognized that a big chunk of their audience is adult.
Yeah, I dont really understand their direction. We grew up with the sims and now that we're older, we have our own money. I wish they would use Lego's strategy more where they focus on the adults that have grown up with the product.
@@Sofia-ix8gm 100%, I reckon if they did a player survey they'd discover that the majority of their players are in the their late 20s - early 30s
100% agree. Even from playing Sims 1 & 2 as a young child it was still clearly more mature and honestly more fun with how raunchy it could be.
Honestly surprised they don't know this considering all their ea network creators are grown adults and I'm pretty sure they know at least some of their content

And the houses piss me off. The community has been remaking those homes for a decade. More rss that could have gone towards bug fixes imo 😒
Lots of people who play the Sims, don't play other games. So they have no idea how hard EA screws them over
Ive been refreshing for hours to see your review
real
me too
It’s really cool to see Pierisim and Syboulette getting kits, I adore their mod packs and I’d be glad to support them.
I think they get like 5% back on those. It’s not really anything
There are better ways to support them
they needed to fix San Myshuno more than the base games imo
For real, this game costs more than £1000 and they are trying to target children with it 😂
I just spent several hours last night redownloading all my custom content just to make sure it was all up to date. Of course I did. So off to create a new game to check things out. Thanks for keeping us up to date!
This is why I don't play because it feels like we get updates that breaks the mods every week or so
I will be playing the event purely for the phones and alarm clock, quite honestly. I grew up on the Sims 3 so my nostalgia is SCREAMING right now and I will absolutely be putting them in every build of mine
I would also like to point out that yesterday (eastern time) THE SIMS 3 GOT AN UPDATE!!!! Making it so we do not have to use the alder lake patch. Honestly kinda shocked that EA actually did something 😂
Given the state of the Sims 4... I think I'll avoid that update like the plague.
Satch did a video about this yesterday too 😅
The alder lake patch didn’t work for me so I’m very glad for this update, prior I reserved myself to never being able to play the game.
I can't believe EA is still supporting TS3 🤯🤯
When people heard “an update to the base game builds” im sure most of us immediately thought of the starter homes. And here we are, duped again. It’s so infuriating how much they cut corners and disappoint.
I think that I'll refurnish pretty much all kitchens after that update...
Pierisim is the author of some MASSIVE CCs. Things like an unified collection of up to 6 matching CCs, each containing up to 80 new build items, in a given style.
Oak House (6 parts)
MCM (5 parts)
Comaine du Clos (4 parts)
Why didn't they at least updated the interior of the starter homes ? No need to redo the shell, just update what is inside.
I opened the sims without knowing ab the update n got jump-scared by the main menu. Immediately exited the sims and am watching this 😭
Same literally said jumpscare to a friend and saw a similar reddit post right after 😂
17:09 I heard “make sure your sims survive so you don’t miss the next one!”
Ugh I hate the events I wish we could still get those objects without completing the quests
Samee I'm so confused like how to start theeemmm
You can, just download them off the gallery and save them to their library
And after some time EA will add them in game for everyone, like they did with the first one and the reapers rewards. So really the event is just like an early access
@@PedroHenrique-fz3jc oh good,I don't have the pc for the sims and I was scared I would never have access to it
9:34 this lady always looks so happy when talking about the Sims 4, it throws me off 💀💀💀
Are her braces fake?
Eh i love her. She’s just doing her job so I doubt she’s genuinely excited
@@Aibhae don't get me wrong, she seems nice and all but I remember her being excited for some previous Sims 4 roadmaps and content, content which turned out to not be too great, so it sort of scares me ✌️😔
I don't want to hate on her; she's doing her job. It is extremely cringe-worthy when they make people up to look younger. Who does this impress? Is the target audience 11 or something?
@@exentine7693 well i mean, shes doing her job. nobody with a sane mind found that stream nice
When I loaded into my game I was SHOCKED 😭 I immediately said “I wonder what satch has to say about this”😂
12:21 in my preexisting save, it actually looked like they had replaced the old lots (for the builds that I hadn't done anything with) but then when i went to take a look in one of them it was the old one and when I returned to the map it was the old build again 😅
Ooooooh thank you lol I was so excited when I saw them but, boooooo
@@NikkiV. I don't think they could edit an ongoing world, otherwise If you're sims were living there you could log in one day and find you're house gone.
Apparently they've added the new versions to the Maxis gallery though if you want to put them in an ongoing save.
2:26 the cabinets not being the same color as the counters is so sims coded…
yo what? the counters dont have the same colours as the counters? you have to descripe yourself a lil bit more
@ the cabinets** not being the same color as the counters
I genuinely loved the new set till you pointed it out 😭
@@Nott_Mika LMAO IM SO SORRY the other swatches look like they match…kind of!
one of them is, unfortunately they didnt check what swatch it was lmao
I had to delete after that update for the last EP because the game just crashed in CAS. I tried everything, removed all mods, did it all. Nothing worked. Even the game without and mods… It was not working. Gave up
They didn't update every base game build because the starter/mid price lots have to stay lower price but the households can have the same funds with a different house. Why they didnt do community lots? idk
@@qwinlynyup
Watched some of the live chat and it was beyond cringey. I guess this explains a lot. They talk to us like we are 5! I am thrilled about the Sims 1 items we are getting, but 'sigh' don't expect a stripper to pop out of the cake, either Satch. Maybe an explosion; meteors from the Sims 3. Now that would be fun!
The updated houses next to the old houses looks so weird.
„I mean, the Sims crashes after 30 minutes, so I don’t 👹know 💀how 👹that’s 🦅gonna 🗣️work”
„IT IS ALREADY BROKEN HAHA 👹🗣️“
Lmaooooo
event items are fine, but they fail to realize how many of their players have jobs and lives that don't allow play every day, also the holiday event actually bugged where I couldn't complete the event at all because the new recipe never showed up for me on the wheel, so those items being locked away forever pisses me off.
They run the events for quite a while and if you sat down in the last week you could get through the entire event in less than an hour.
I just spent 5 hours last night building an amusement park for my game, if I open the game up today and it's broken I'm going to be so sad 😭😭
WOW congrats on having a longer video than the announcement video and didn't even mention how this was all announced in 7 minutes.
Not to crazy about it and looking at the blast from the past event the items for week 2 look to be Sims 3 inspired as the blue neon suit looks to be a Sims 4 version of Emit Relevart from Sims 3 Into the Future. Maybe the sims will travel back in time (like previous versions, Sims 1, 2, and 3) and into the future (introduction of Sims 5 or project renee or something new). Guess we will see what comes up, but more interested to hear and see what EA has for the future of the franchise and not so much on Sims 4.
6:35 now tell me this doesn't look simmilar to the project olympus loading screens/main menu
The newer builds stick out like sore thumbs against those unhabited homes, really... I think I preferred it before, honestly, it looked less striking before. Either renovate them all, or don't.
Madlen's shoes are inSANELY good
I just downloaded nearly the entire Madlen catalog the other day😂😂perfection!!
Literal perfection
I was watching the episode and after they blew up the candles I thought okay so we have all the obvious announcements out of our way now tell me those big news and that's when the screen got black. I thought there is something wrong with my TV and I turned it off and on in panic I went back to youtube... And this is when I realized it was just the end of the opisode
Hahahahaha I was waiting for the exciting part after they blew out the candles too and nothing 😂🤦♀
I just love you to bits! I've not played the game in forever it seems, but you are my absolute Fave youtube Simmer!
I don't even play sims 4 almost year, just watch news videos about sims news, playing only sims 2 and I'm happy😊. No amount updates will bring me back to sims 4
Is the kitchen set going to be missing island counters? It looks like they are using a bar for the island.
It seems like events are to be like almost consistent like ”seasons” in battle passes. Given how the second one finishes they announce a new one.. that means we will have stupid icon in the corner more often than not. WHY ISNIT THERE IF I FINISHED THIS WEEKS ”QUESTS”
2:09 I swear I had the sliding door weeks ago 😭 I remember using it in a build but I haven’t played the sims in a while cuz I have a new laptop which I haven’t downloaded the sims on yet
I really like the new main screen with my current household displayed❤. The poses change each time you load in and the new basegame homes are in my current save👍
You know what you have that other sims 4 youtubers don't have, HONESTY and that's why you're my favorite sims 4 youtuber
EA just give us bare minimum
I made it a point to no longer follow Sim influencers once they become corporate sell outs and shills. Mod creators I will always support because they honestly make the game better. The new builds look good.
they need to update dine out so badly
The goth house look so much better, the older one was so clunky.
Yeah the new goth house looks more medieval goth like
I get all my sims news from you. Excited for the new kitchen counters and updated builds.
In the art for the next event there is a sim who looks suspiciously like Emit Relevart from Into the Future. His clothes are even part of the event, it looks like. And one of those milk cartons has Bella Goths face on it. They could do a missing Bella scenario.
I literally got so happy about the event, the alarm clock and phones are something I always hated was missing in Sims 4 and it's such a staple to making a house in any other sims game. I hope theyre functional.
I wish they would give us a color wheel to colour everything the way we like, like hair and clothes. I loved the fashion creator kitt on sims 2 and the integration of it in sims 3. It is something I'll always miss apart from the car. Sims 4 is probably never going to happen the way we would love it, are we still stuck in endless loading screens?
Literally I dont understand why we can't have a color wheel for at least hair
I visit the homes of townies - but that's pretty much because I tend to play as a vampire and I want to feed without having everyone in the game hate me. A couple families is fine.
The new menu screen doesn't seem to be compatible with cc - I turned mods back on after the update but my family are all bald and missing their clothes... 🙃
For me it was only on the main screen. Luckily in game they weren't bald but yeah...😂
@@himechan1211 Same for me - just on the main menu screen (luckily!) But it's like 'hm... which bald and n*ked family shall I play with today..?!' 😅😅 Not a good look!
Are they still bald after playing them?
I haven't tried the update yet, but with the old menu turning cc back on wasn't enough, you had to load the file and after that the menu would be fine.
@waticfan they're back to normal in game and on the menu screen 🙌
Johny Zest is capable of having woohoo with his mother, OR HIS FATHER, im not judging LMAO
EA only updating a few of the houses has the same energy of only giving *your* household alfa CC 😂.
Can we get more male hair like damn they keep giving us female hairs for male sims ughhh. It’s so hard to make male sims that don’t all look the same
Fr, they literally just take some of the fem hairs that look slightly less feminine and say they made new hair 😭 Like you can just put fem hairs on guys anyways if you want to lol. They are so lazy.
They need to fix the bugs and stop adding things on top a broken game
I got the notification! and I head straight over here!!! Fave simmer to go for news!
Casually putting Bella, Emit Relevart, and Captain Ginny on the milk cartons is a nice detail. I think I also see that one guy from Pleasantview who is said to have drowned but has a clone in the actual game?
Fun fact: Emit Relevart backwards = Time Traveler. 😉
@Juno-l9m Yeah, and the fact the "time sickness" death type from Sims 3 Into the Future has a sim literally disappear, it's nice they put a missing picture of him.
Also, while it's not the majority, some of the rewards are definitely referencing him, and I believe the sim shown on the picture with all the rewards is Emit.
We should've gotten a few new worlds, more furniture and a gameplay feature, i'm super hyped for the objects but its still lackluster
I feel like for the house updates, they should have updated the community lots at the very least. Make some lots toddler/infant friendly with a potty and toys for example. Ideally a changing table, but well... that ship has sailed.
I never want to bring toddlers anywhere because the world is literally not made for them. I feel like that could have been a nice addition. Or something like a pool in the Oasis Springs gym, gender neutral bathroom doors (not necessarily for nb sims, but for the player: I can't see which toilet is for male sims when the walls are down), more art in the museum from the creator paintings they have added to the game...
I saw someone uploaded about this & I said ill just wait for Satch's review lol
i actually really like the idea of having the name, money and date/time of the last household you played on the main menu, it might make me click resume instead of new game lol
Pierisim does really nice furniture cc and aharris00britney does really great hair/ clothes cc.
I think for the empty houses it makes a bit of sense theyre more empty because then you can do the decorating and get your own stuff, but it would be nice to have the basic stuff done up more or have a couple well furnished houses for the ppl who dont want to decorate
It'd be nice to have the exterior match the rest of the exteriors, and some basic interiors
@ I agree
Yeah the livestream was awful..
You have such a unexpected silly laugh I love it🤣😊
My JAW DROPPED at the Landgraab mansion, crumbs everywhere
can someone tell me why ALL my old families are gone and everything that was saved in my gallery?? i honestly want to cry its been years worth of saving and building and its all gone today because of a stupid update?? i cant even figure out how to get my mods to work because in settings it says mods are enabled. im so over all these stupid updates their game is so broken its ridiculous!!!!
Great I can see myself expending 5 hours sorting my broken mods now wonderful truly
we get less ads, in exchange for the main menu looking like a bootleg Fortnite main menu.
Honestly...not that great of a trade off.
I'd take the ads, the menu doesn't even feel like I'm playing Sims
Biggest? I have a bigger one
...Bigger what? 😳
I think the kitchen set that came in the life and death pack is the best one
Watching u before i go over to lilsimsie, gotta get both sides yk
"1 minute ago" is crazyy I just refreshed youtube 😂
Mersea keeps giving me Cocomelon/Miss Rachel vibes. I can’t watch if it’s not filtered through someone else. I feel like there should be a toddler in the room when I try to watch without you.
I feel so much embarrassment for them. Just imagine, these poor little ppl in offices getting ordered to come up with another exciting "brand new feature" cause big rich EA wants money. Nothing they release run for more fhan few months, whims, likes/dislikes etc, it all gor abandoned so quickly. Its all to put in a list so simmers think there is SOMETHING given to them when its not 😭
If they only fix the townie houses, they're basically asking you to kick the townies out
I loveee the nostalgia stuff we're getting, the telephones ugh so classic😁
Yes, you can have an old fashion phone on the wall… *while your Sim still refuses to put their cell phone down* 🤦🏼♀️
@bookcat123 all that clicking on the phone and for whatt😂🤦🏽♀️
@@Madzielle I wouldn’t count on it being functional… but at least it will look cool in builds.
