@Turquoise Cheetah What's pissing me off is that those people think criticism = bullying & toxic community. Sorry, but it's not. As you said, we have rights to criticize it because we're paying for it and in some countries these packs are more expensive. For example, in Poland Expansion Packs cost 150PLN, Game Packs 70PLN, and Stuff Packs 50PLN. In comparison for this price I can buy Call of Duty : Black Ops, Witcher 2 or The Elder Scrolls IV 🤔 So much better games 🙃
Turquoise Cheetah here in Brazil we have a word for that: Gado. It means “Cattle”, because those people just follow orders blindly from people and companies they, for no apparent reason, seem to love, even if following that order means their own demise, in this case, wasting money.

Hey, it's not just sucking the Sims 4 dry, they're milking us for all they can get by us buying all this digital download crap of theirs which'll disappear if you log off from ur account for a while like I did after not playing Sims 3 for a while back in 2014 moving forward and changing computers.🤨 I recently tried to reinstall Sims 3 on my newest gaming rig computer because I was fed up with this empty shell of a game called Sims 4.😫 Everything seemed ok until I got to the part where you're supposed to put in the Product Code I put in the product code for the Sims 3 Starter Pack, I have the CDs, so then a window pops up saying that the code was invalid, that it has already been used...I go WHAT?! I tried 3 times to enter the code, again and again, the same message pops up. So, it looks like I got ripped off, I bought stuff packs and game extensions to this game which were digital downloads costing upwards to $150+ bucks.😨 I got in touch with EA help and all that and explained the situation, and was told to fill out an account recovery form which I did and gave them all the info, and email addresses I had for my old account that I bought Sims 3 with. They can't find my account...WHAT?! then they send me emails saying I need to send them an email address that's not associated with my EA account. 🤦🏾♀️ What?! All I have is my present email address and no others. 😖 They had said that "IF" they found my account, that they may need to move it to another email account not associated with EA, but they have already stated that they couldn't find my account so why the fubar are they asking me for another email address then? 🤨We went around and around for 5 or 6 emails them sending me a form email with different ppls names on them saying, "Hi, I'm so and so and I'm here to help you with ur case, but you need to send us an email address that's not associated with ur EA account blah blah blah. 😠🤬🤬🤬 I haven't written back. I' so disgusted, all that money wasted. 😠 I guess they actually toss ppls accounts if they've been inactive for a couple of years, that's what it looks like to me anyway. Now all I have to show for my PC purchase of Sims 3 is the Starter Pack with 3 cd's I can never play again and handwritten memos of all the stuff packs and game extensions I bought for it.

I would imagine it was an auto correct error if it was anyone else but this is Clint "Ralph-arsonist" Basinger we're talking about so I think otherwise.
Right, the H&M stuff pack. Looking back, it's weird to think that branded official items were downloadable as freebies in The Sims 1. Not to mention they're big and functional items at the time like the Pepsi Vending Machine and the McDonald's Food Kiosk.
This type of crossover advertisement has been a thing since the very early 2000s, be it clothes, food and drink brands, or vehicles. Hell, Diesel even had the same type of crossover with Devil May Cry 2 in 2003, 6 years before they did it for Sims 3.
I'm absolutely indifferent about Sims 4 - but if there is one good thing about it#s existence it's Clints reviews. My recent reaction to the next Cities Skylines was actually; At least I get an LGR review out of it
that honestly sucks. some simmers here complain about things too but they balance it out with fakes "but i still love it!!!" so ea keeps sending them codes.
From what i saw, its because they added the Game Changers program, which LGR turned down. If you aren't in this program, no free packs. It was offered to him, and i suspect he turned it down, expecting he would have to be a hypr man and wouldn't be able to be negative about the series, and it has worked well for us, knowing Maxis and EA CANNOT buy his opinions at all.
same! the bb content is a pleasant surprise, but the cas content is super disappointing, not because i hate the pieces, but because there is so little of it, and feels so out of place. i dont hate the pack like i thought i would, but it couldve been so much better so easily.

@@Grox3000 I dunno, I reckon at least half the people who watch LGR's Sims reviews still go out and buy the pack he just criticised. EA is the sort of company that believes any publicity is good publicity.
Next Stuff Pack : Sims 4 : SITTING AROUND STUFF PACK! $30 FOR A PACK CONTAINING 50+ CHAIRS, AND SITTABLE OBJECTS, A MUST FOR CHAIR ENTHUSIASTS! -5 toilets included-
Fake fan, that would not be a stuff pack, those are only 10$ and only include up to 40 items. I want to know what would they ad as the new gameplay element to it. ... would It be placing pillows and sofas?
Unironically, I'd prefer a mosquito stuff pack where I could unleash an army of mosquitoes on anyone unfortunate enough to be my neighbor; watching them all fall prey to the Zika epidemic.
@@River_X2_ I agree tbh The Sims 2 is my 2nd favorite in the franchise because of how chaotic the gameplay is. In addition to the fun animations and just the little details here and there. The base game alone is quite enjoyable! The Sims 3 improved upon tons of features such as decreasing the repetitiveness of having to fill your sims needs for what felt like every second. The open world was a nice addition as well. However, I believe the glitches TS3 came with really ruined the experience for most. The game runs as smooth as butter for me but I encounter game breaking glitches frequently. Despite the flaws TS3 had, I find myself playing it more frequently than TS2. TS3 is my all time favorite. Might be a personal bias though because it was the first Sims game I played. I remember an old buddy giving it to me for my 6th birthday back in 2011. As for TS4 The Sims 4 feels lifeless and dull and the craziness seems to be held back due to the lack of features. It's such a shame how we went from a step in the right direction to square one again. I never played TS1 so I can't give a proper opinion on it. I plan to get it soon though!
@Max William Lauf You can but unfortunately those annoying buggers have learnt to get out of pool even without ladders! You need to build a fence around the pool nowadays.
I absolutely hate that they locked a new career choice behind a shitty licensed stuff pack. Thank you for making the sacrifice of buying it to review it for us as usual. You're the only Sims related RUclipsr I trust to be absolutely real and genuine in their critiques. I'll keep saying it every damn comment on this husk of a series I want to love, but I DREAM of the day we get a Cities Skylines competitor to the Sims. I want the concept of a life sim with ACTUAL depth and real gameplay to exist damnit.
there is actually a game in development that is called paralives. It has the same concept as the sims but it's probably going to be much better since the creator listens to what people want.
@@isviewer If you are interested in fashion.... Still not good. If you are interested in "low-quality street art, that is worse than stupid tags at worst place, yet pretending to be high fashion", now that is a different story.
@@isviewer I guess what I meant to say is, I've never even seen a shop with the name of an ad anywhere, and I'm a local. You'd think a brand that makes a collab with an international brand like the Sims would at least be popular enough locally.
Speaking for myself, I hate the rebranding. It seems like the origin lies somewhat in Microsoft changing the UI for Vista and 7 to 8 and onward, ditching the Glass look for the "running Win 2000 in safe mode default color scheme" mode, and now everyone's followed suit. Dammit, give me a UI - or brand, or graphics - with some pop.
Actually, it all started with the iOS 7 launch, a month before Win8 came out. I really like the minimalist style for the OS, apps and just in general. But EA is so greedy that they weren’t willing to hire some one to do a half-decent job with this rebranding and that’s why it looks so shitty imo. And actually, the previous TS4 logo was already pretty minimalistic by itself. It didn’t need to be changed at all. That dark blue color looks like something I, who am not even close to a Designer, would look at and cringe while working at a creation of mine.
The non-functional amps remind me of the useless lemonade in TS3 Outdoor Living lol. I hope we get a game pack focused on bands. I don't like the rebranding but I guess I don't like the current "fad" of logo design either
@@lactobacillusprobiotic7029 Basically, Ralph is the middle name of The Sims original designer Will Wright who worked for EA up to 2009. LGR created this character and decided to use the name Ralph for it. That's all I know really 😀
This is one of the most simultaneously joyful and depressing reviews you've ever released. I've followed you since the early LGR years and might I say, I love you, semi-platonically.
I can't wait to see your review of the Realm of Magic game pack! I know you're not big on supernatural and occult stuff (just like I am), but oh man, the livestream made it look very promising and interesting! Honestly, I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on it more than I'm looking forward to the release of the pack itself!
You know it's bad when even someone with a hobby in photography like Clint can't muster more than a faint "harumph" over a stuff pack that introduces a free-lance photography career. These stuff packs are barely anything more than what fans themselves could mod into the game for free.
I didn’t even realise this was a thing, why is this a thing...anyone remember sims 1? I feel sorry for people who don’t, they’ll never remember what value for money is like
Hi Clint, there's this new life simulation game called Paralives which is still in the early stage of development but it looks really beautiful, really cool and can be a serious competitor of the sims. You might wanna check it out and spread the news to the people in the community so they support the game developer. It looks really promising.
You would be surprised how much people are willing to spend on random items. The price is $275 because there are lots of folks willing to shell out that type of money. Interestingly those same people would probably scoff at us willing to pay $275 for a CPU or GPU.
The reason why they are priced so high is exactly because they know people like you will make a buzz about it, which leads to free marketing. Every time you see posts "mocking" some crazy expensive ugly torn jeans for 5000 dollars or whatever, they get lots and lots of free promotion. Rich people will still buy it - Either because of exclusivity, because they want to show off their wealth or 1% just likes the designs and have so much disposable income that it's like nothing to them. And doesn't take a lot of sales for it to be profitable if you're selling them for hundreds and hundreds or thousands of dollars a pop.
I just recently started playing the Sims 4, late to the party I know. But your reviews are very easy to watch, if that makes sense? I just watched almost every review. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep my eye out for new reviews. 👏🏻
I don't remember the Diesel one, so I'm assuming it was in sims 3, which I stopped playing after Katy stuff, but I do remember H&M stuff, but I think it's different because H&M has more, well, normal clothing, whereas, this is really clothing you only wear to impress people because some designer says it's the latest fashion. Yeah, not good. Not even on my sims.
I’ve been waiting for your review. You’re the make or break if I buy a pack or not and I definitely think I might pass on this one. I wish they just added to the photography skill for free if you have Get to Work and added fashion model or something as a job
Huh... I JUST rewatched the Strangerville review for no reason at all, just a random impulse. And boom, another Sims review out. Clearly I have dormant psychic powers, because coincidences don't exist.
I'd like to take this moment to thank you for your ongoing reviews of Sims games. As we seem to have similar tastes and expectations, you have literally saved me a small fortune through the years by letting me know about the product before I buy it. I am a bigger fan of Sims 3 and actually resisted buying the Sims 4, getting it only when they offered it for free back in May... because free is always a good price. In fact, not only do I watch your reviews as they come out (which is why it took me so long to get Sims 4), but I will go back and re-watch each one (sometimes more than once) before buying an addition to the game. I have gotten only a few, and to be honest, of the ones that are left, there are only a couple more that have my interest. Had I never played Sims 3, I may have liked this game a lot more, but I keep comparing the two and Sims 4 just keeps falling flat. Anyway... thanks again for your dedication and hard work. I, for one, certainly appreciate it.
You are a wordsmith, my dude! Your review was as fun to listen to as it was informative! This is my first video of yours, and suffice to say I'll be back.
It is so entertaining how eloquent and creative your reviews are; EA should keep sending you free packs, because it is so bias how everybody else -who get free packs- review them, just showing the content and praising it. And thank you for spending some cash so I don't have to (: ... I wish I had discovered your videos before buying some of the packages I already own. Thanks for your work!
The only honest review channel for the Sims games... Thank you for this new upload! I'm sick and tired of the EA Gamechanger's videos, telling me to buy everything.

Some of the improved photography is part of the update, such as the normal frames; just not the tripod or the digital frame for instance.

@@DoveJS but the posing and being able to move around in camera mode are the best parts.
Remember when LGR got free advanced copies of sims games he gave glowing reviews? Yeah, me neither.
Human Resources yeah lol and they stopped giving him advanced copies as he was the one who ripped the ball pit to shreds and pissed off The sims team lol
@@Adv18 That ball pit was pretty terrible though
What annoys me with this is that they don't give sim players what they want, it's something they hope we learn to like.
what annoys me more is that most sims fans still buy their crap
and then the team bitches about fans being ungrateful when we demand shit that isnt half assed garbage
@@brichoco2628 havent played the sims since the release of Sims 4, i played the vainilla for a while, got bored, went back to sims 3, and got bored then and i never played since lol
Sooo true I had the sims 4 for like 5-7 months! I immediately got it off my computer and now I’m getting the sims 3 for my birthday
@A real bisexual petrol-head As shit as the business practices are at EA I'm pretty sure that wishing death on them is a bit much.
"let's talk about the Sims 4 Mosquito Stuff or whatever"
that was a BAD time to take a drink lmao
Nah
How EA doesn't appreciate these detailed and honest reviews of The Sims packs is quite beyond me. Good stuff as always!
EA used to give LGR the Sims 4 packs for free but after Clint roasted them a few times with clear and snark remarks for the series’ lack of good content they stopped doing it.
@@kewoshk yep I know I still think they are ungrateful though, better to have an honest roasting than an unfair ranting in my book.
Because negative reviews means less money for them. It's not about making a good game for them, it's about making money.
@@Grox3000 Yeah, which is unfortunate.
@@Grox3000 I dunno, I reckon at least half the people who watch LGR's Sims reviews still go out and buy the pack he just criticised. EA is the sort of company that believes any publicity is good publicity.
I was hoping Mosquito Stuff would have more sting to it.
Zergem your mom has less sting to it.
that's bloody awful!
I don't think LGR cares enough about TS4 to really go in on it anymore. It's just expected that it'll be at best mediocre 😅
Yeah this pack bites
Next Stuff Pack :
Sims 4 : SITTING AROUND STUFF PACK!
$30 FOR A PACK CONTAINING 50+ CHAIRS, AND SITTABLE OBJECTS, A MUST FOR CHAIR ENTHUSIASTS! -5 toilets included-
Fake fan, that would not be a stuff pack, those are only 10$ and only include up to 40 items. I want to know what would they ad as the new gameplay element to it. ... would It be placing pillows and sofas?
Larg04 but it’s an Exclusive version! Deluxe’
@@LookingForFrogs
> Can't take a EA joke
> Pillows and mabye mats to sit on or mabye an option to sit anywhere sounds cool doe.
@@labenvenci1584 you took "fake fan" comment seriously?
@@LookingForFrogs
3 people did.
IM GOING TO BUY FAKES ON THE CC STORE
seeing this just made me want paralives more
Unironically, I'd prefer a mosquito stuff pack where I could unleash an army of mosquitoes on anyone unfortunate enough to be my neighbor; watching them all fall prey to the Zika epidemic.
That kind of anarchy from early sims games is what I miss! Well, we didn't have mosquitoes, but we could kill our neighbors with flies!
@@River_X2_
I agree tbh
The Sims 2 is my 2nd favorite in the franchise because of how chaotic the gameplay is. In addition to the fun animations and just the little details here and there. The base game alone is quite enjoyable!
The Sims 3 improved upon tons of features such as decreasing the repetitiveness of having to fill your sims needs for what felt like every second. The open world was a nice addition as well. However, I believe the glitches TS3 came with really ruined the experience for most. The game runs as smooth as butter for me but I encounter game breaking glitches frequently.
Despite the flaws TS3 had, I find myself playing it more frequently than TS2. TS3 is my all time favorite. Might be a personal bias though because it was the first Sims game I played. I remember an old buddy giving it to me for my 6th birthday back in 2011.
As for TS4
The Sims 4 feels lifeless and dull and the craziness seems to be held back due to the lack of features. It's such a shame how we went from a step in the right direction to square one again.
I never played TS1 so I can't give a proper opinion on it. I plan to get it soon though!
@Max William Lauf You can but unfortunately those annoying buggers have learnt to get out of pool even without ladders! You need to build a fence around the pool nowadays.
Mrs. L Maybe they’re becoming self aware now. 😅
@@coppercans2091 I loved how sims could get eaten by a cloud of flies if they left the house in a mess too long. And the penguins.
I absolutely hate that they locked a new career choice behind a shitty licensed stuff pack. Thank you for making the sacrifice of buying it to review it for us as usual. You're the only Sims related RUclipsr I trust to be absolutely real and genuine in their critiques.
I'll keep saying it every damn comment on this husk of a series I want to love, but I DREAM of the day we get a Cities Skylines competitor to the Sims. I want the concept of a life sim with ACTUAL depth and real gameplay to exist damnit.
Clunky Chunky look up Paralives
there is actually a game in development that is called paralives. It has the same concept as the sims but it's probably going to be much better since the creator listens to what people want.
@@illusiongalaxy5112 Thank you for making me aware of this. I'll be keeping a close eye one this one.
I swear, half the fun of these stuff packs getting released is watching your reviews
I'm Italian, born and raised in Italy, and I didn't know Moschino was a thing.
Unless you're interested in fashion there would be no reason for you to know. It's not like it's Gucci or something
@@isviewer If you are interested in fashion.... Still not good.
If you are interested in "low-quality street art, that is worse than stupid tags at worst place, yet pretending to be high fashion", now that is a different story.
Moschino is kitsch. They've had that reputation for 20 years now.
@@isviewer I guess what I meant to say is, I've never even seen a shop with the name of an ad anywhere, and I'm a local. You'd think a brand that makes a collab with an international brand like the Sims would at least be popular enough locally.
@@FigliadiSephiroth maybe you dont live in an affluent area. High fashion stores wont be seen in the ghettos 😅
It says something when the most interesting part of the pack for me is the curved windows.
I'm not sure what, exactly. But it says something.
It says that you're geometrically deranged.
@@keithbrown7685 Yeah, probably :)
Is there a Patreon tier that rewards the video of Clint saying "...if you're /high/" ? That would be a better use of money than $450 leggings!
Finally a RUclipsr that isn’t all hype and positive about this pack
If you campare this review to his sims 3 fast lane stuff he's for sure more enthusiastic about sims 3
Tbh sims 3 brand packs had much more stuff and more gameplay than whatever packs Sims 4 is spewing out nowadays
of course, who wouldn't be enthusiastic for a stuff pack called Full Farts :D
Exactly why I am looking forward to Paralives...
Speaking for myself, I hate the rebranding. It seems like the origin lies somewhat in Microsoft changing the UI for Vista and 7 to 8 and onward, ditching the Glass look for the "running Win 2000 in safe mode default color scheme" mode, and now everyone's followed suit. Dammit, give me a UI - or brand, or graphics - with some pop.
Minimalism my ass.
Actually, it all started with the iOS 7 launch, a month before Win8 came out. I really like the minimalist style for the OS, apps and just in general. But EA is so greedy that they weren’t willing to hire some one to do a half-decent job with this rebranding and that’s why it looks so shitty imo. And actually, the previous TS4 logo was already pretty minimalistic by itself. It didn’t need to be changed at all. That dark blue color looks like something I, who am not even close to a Designer, would look at and cringe while working at a creation of mine.
@@brunoglopes I'll take your word on the iOS deal, I don't really follow apple, but yeah, that tracks.
@Bruno Lopes *aghem* Patreon design *aghem-aghem*
I kinda like the redesign, tho. Before it was really flat and boring, but now it has bright colors, nice contrast, and it just looks better, imo.
The non-functional amps remind me of the useless lemonade in TS3 Outdoor Living lol. I hope we get a game pack focused on bands. I don't like the rebranding but I guess I don't like the current "fad" of logo design either
Poor Ralph. He has seen some things. Terrible things.
Ashley Andrews Sorry I’m new here but who was Ralph exactly?
@@lactobacillusprobiotic7029 The dude getting burned to death @ 0:46
Ryan Yes I know but who is he really?
@@lactobacillusprobiotic7029 Basically, Ralph is the middle name of The Sims original designer Will Wright who worked for EA up to 2009. LGR created this character and decided to use the name Ralph for it. That's all I know really 😀
Ryan Okay thank you soo much! That makes sense now.
This is one of the most simultaneously joyful and depressing reviews you've ever released. I've followed you since the early LGR years and might I say, I love you, semi-platonically.
I’ve gone back to playing the sims 3 now it’s way more entertaining anyway 😂
I can't wait to see your review of the Realm of Magic game pack! I know you're not big on supernatural and occult stuff (just like I am), but oh man, the livestream made it look very promising and interesting! Honestly, I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on it more than I'm looking forward to the release of the pack itself!
I was so waiting for this after seeing the trailer 🙏🏼
Thanks for your review, LGR, I was desperate to know how many chairs are in this stuff pack.
D Kirk I know he joked about a chairs expansion in his Sims 4 base game review but at this point that’d be far better than Mosquito stuff
You know it's bad when even someone with a hobby in photography like Clint can't muster more than a faint "harumph" over a stuff pack that introduces a free-lance photography career. These stuff packs are barely anything more than what fans themselves could mod into the game for free.
Thing is, mods have been doing freelance photography better since the freelance patch came out. And I think there was one after Get To Work came out.
I miss LGR Reviews! He’s Hilarious and honest.
I agree!
I didn’t even realise this was a thing, why is this a thing...anyone remember sims 1? I feel sorry for people who don’t, they’ll never remember what value for money is like
well, when you compare the stuff pack to the RL Machino $275 t-shirt... well THAT'S value for money!! hahah
Haven't played my Sims 4 game in a LONG time. I don't plan on buying any stuff packs, this looks stupid.
What can be better than an LGR episode on a Monday
Two LGR episodes on Monday?
Hi Clint, there's this new life simulation game called Paralives which is still in the early stage of development but it looks really beautiful, really cool and can be a serious competitor of the sims. You might wanna check it out and spread the news to the people in the community so they support the game developer. It looks really promising.
it's about time! we need something for the sims 4 like city skylines was to sim city 2013.
275 for a bloody printed t-shirt? I think it's safe to say that whoever came up with there prices has lost it.
You would be surprised how much people are willing to spend on random items. The price is $275 because there are lots of folks willing to shell out that type of money. Interestingly those same people would probably scoff at us willing to pay $275 for a CPU or GPU.
I actually think who came up with their prices is very sane. Who has lost it are the people who buy that shit
The reason why they are priced so high is exactly because they know people like you will make a buzz about it, which leads to free marketing. Every time you see posts "mocking" some crazy expensive ugly torn jeans for 5000 dollars or whatever, they get lots and lots of free promotion. Rich people will still buy it - Either because of exclusivity, because they want to show off their wealth or 1% just likes the designs and have so much disposable income that it's like nothing to them. And doesn't take a lot of sales for it to be profitable if you're selling them for hundreds and hundreds or thousands of dollars a pop.
If these packs keep up you're going to have split Ralph's atoms at this point
I’ve been waiting for this review. You never disappoint. Thank you.
FINALLY something for us stripey rug lovers!!!
I just recently started playing the Sims 4, late to the party I know. But your reviews are very easy to watch, if that makes sense? I just watched almost every review. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep my eye out for new reviews. 👏🏻
I keep checking every day for your Realm of Magic review lol
I was checking too not every day though 😂
Saaame
Is he okay?? Its not so usual of him :(
I must’ve somehow forgotten about H&M and Diesel, because when I saw this pack all I thought was “oh, god, it’s Katy Perry Sweet Treats Part 2”.
I don't remember the Diesel one, so I'm assuming it was in sims 3, which I stopped playing after Katy stuff, but I do remember H&M stuff, but I think it's different because H&M has more, well, normal clothing, whereas, this is really clothing you only wear to impress people because some designer says it's the latest fashion. Yeah, not good. Not even on my sims.
I read this pack as "Machismo Stuff." Which would have also been bizarre, but I kinda think all bets have been off since Laundry Day.
Stalking the channel for the Realm of Magic review🤣
Can’t wait for your review of Realm of Magic!
This is a pack of stuff with “THINGS” in it
I don't even play The Sims 4 for over a year or so, but I love watching these videos! :-D
I simply love your reviews! (-; Keep it up!
Ooo, I've been waiting for this stuff pack review
"...If you're high." Thank you, Clint, I got a good laugh outta that one.
I’ve been waiting for your review. You’re the make or break if I buy a pack or not and I definitely think I might pass on this one. I wish they just added to the photography skill for free if you have Get to Work and added fashion model or something as a job
Huh... I JUST rewatched the Strangerville review for no reason at all, just a random impulse. And boom, another Sims review out. Clearly I have dormant psychic powers, because coincidences don't exist.
One of the best things about these millions of Sims 4 packs are the millions of accompanying LGR videos.
I check every day for the magic review lol you're the only one i trust
You are late to talk about those hideous rebrand! Please I want 1 hour commentary or maybe... Sims 4 four years of meh. Please make it happen 🙏
I’ve been watching your sims review videos since 2013 and i always watch your reviews before i pick up the sims expansion thank you for all the laughs
Using the Materialistic animation like that was brilliant good sir.
Your Sims reviews are always the highlight of my week.
Gaudy overpriced clothes x Fashion brand
Very on point.
I'd like to take this moment to thank you for your ongoing reviews of Sims games. As we seem to have similar tastes and expectations, you have literally saved me a small fortune through the years by letting me know about the product before I buy it.
I am a bigger fan of Sims 3 and actually resisted buying the Sims 4, getting it only when they offered it for free back in May... because free is always a good price.
In fact, not only do I watch your reviews as they come out (which is why it took me so long to get Sims 4), but I will go back and re-watch each one (sometimes more than once) before buying an addition to the game. I have gotten only a few, and to be honest, of the ones that are left, there are only a couple more that have my interest.
Had I never played Sims 3, I may have liked this game a lot more, but I keep comparing the two and Sims 4 just keeps falling flat.
Anyway... thanks again for your dedication and hard work. I, for one, certainly appreciate it.
Ah, sims 4 is so enjoyable when you use torrents... anyway, modders make sims enjoyable, not ea, so whatever
This channel has saved me so much time and money I'm so greatful 💖
Sims 3 is still the best though
Woah Woah Woah...
ONLY ONE CHAIR?!?!
What kind of stuff pack is this?!
those toilet pictures! ha ha flush that pack right down the virtual toilet!
You are a wordsmith, my dude! Your review was as fun to listen to as it was informative! This is my first video of yours, and suffice to say I'll be back.
Glad to hear that, thank you!
"If you really like this designs, you can buy it online... If you're high!"
Once again you have realed ne back to your content by these amazing sims videos 😂😍
Time for realm of magic review now 🙂🙂
It is so entertaining how eloquent and creative your reviews are; EA should keep sending you free packs, because it is so bias how everybody else -who get free packs- review them, just showing the content and praising it. And thank you for spending some cash so I don't have to (: ... I wish I had discovered your videos before buying some of the packages I already own. Thanks for your work!
I’ve been dying for this video
I LOOOOVE YOUR SIMS STUFF REVIEWS! DO MORE GAME REVIEWS!
i only want stuff packs so LGR could make more reviews about them
Hell yeah, was waiting for you to upload
Ah yes an added $20 for a minimal feature that had been in the previous base game.
This is why I stopped at 3
I just love watching reviews of packs I'll never buy😂😂 clint is just too entertaining 😅
I keep coming to your channel to see if you talked about sims university yet 😂
It'll go up this week!
The only honest review channel for the Sims games... Thank you for this new upload! I'm sick and tired of the EA Gamechanger's videos, telling me to buy everything.
I was literally checking every day multiple times for this review! Finally! Eeek~!
LGR only uploads at fridays but sometimes he bestows us with videos on random mondays and wednesdays
Kevser K
Thank you.
1:12 Norton Commander!!! I loved that. You sure bring back fond memories.
Big fan, when are you doing the magic review?
Hey Clint, just saw you credited on the latest AVGN episode, very cool to see some of my favorite creators collaborating.
