I think it's ridiculous. It is what it is and calling it something else is just childish and changes nothing. There's also a lot of content, more than it was given credit for, on par with many other Expansions. New pets and farm animals, new clothes and build mode items, new Skills, activities, Aspirations, a new World with 3 Neighborhoods and 13 Lots New unique NPCs. It's sad some people can't just enjoy it and feel the need to be snarky. If you like it, play it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. It's a game. Just have fun. Yeesh...
@@hollyhartwick3832 Or maybe people are upset because even though you think it has a lot of content doesn't mean it actually has the same amount of content that other expansions do.
@@mikimishisa - Considering I have every expansion, I'm quite aware of the amount of content in them. People were saying this before the pack was even released and the full extent of the content was known. If they're so upset, again, don't buy it.
Imagine how much better this game would've been if they didn't treat the playerbase as playtesters and instead ACTUALLY TRIED PLAYING THE GAME more than once before releasing it!
It's a shame that every release is riddled with bugs, errors, and lots of Simmers who cannot access content they've paid for. Quality control has been on a downhill spiral.😒
It's not a shame, it's a lie and a scam. It's a shame if it happens 1 or 2 times, but for 10 years straight? Either they're geniuses or the sims community sniff glue to keep giving them all that money.
I wish people would stop buying the packs on release at least. Preferably not at all at this point. But its hard to ask for 100% boycot. At least buy when its on sale to show them the true value of their shoddy product. Respect yourself and your wallet and your time. You wouldnt buy a busted can of soda leaking all over the shelf just because its the last one. Youd go somewhere else and get yourself a bigger better soda for a better deal. Why do you accept a buggy laggy old game charging you 40 dollars for less content than we have even gotten before from this company?
I think this is exactly why EA is selling horse ranch as an ep. They know so many will wait for it to go on sale. But by selling it at the higher price of an ep, they won't lose so much money when ppl wait for it to go on sale, as they would have if they'd sold it as a gp. They're just protecting their bottom line and their shareholders interests.
The Sims gurus and major YT simmers have a “creepy”, weird parasocial relationship between each other and the fans on social media. They should seriously have a professional relationship like anyone at a normal office job.
the thing is when YT simmers started to gain a lot of popularity and respect amongst the sims community, the sims team wanted in on that sweet sweet clout, that's why sim gurus and creator network was made. But since at the end of the day, they ARE OFFICIALLY spokespeople for the sims, people will of course go to them when something goes wrong, that's when their feelings get hurt. It's a double edged sword and you can't have the cake and eat it too. You can't have the clout and people showering your twitter with praises and appreciation and NOT have any criticism when something goes wrong. They wanted the feel-good warm fuzzies they see YT simmers had but none of the criticism, it just doesn't work when you're part of the people who make the product.
I got this pack through, less than official channels. It was installed and running 90 minutes after release. The only issue I have, is the TOOL mod, I mean, it's a mod. EA really need to pull it together. If you can pirate it quicker than you can get it legally.
@@elizabethlund4356 Good for you. My point was, a hell of a lot of people, paying a lot of money. Waited hours to get it working, on EA's own platform. Where pirates, had an issue free update. For 'free'. Which is totally unacceptable.
The biggest irony is The Sims is EA'S cash cow, but through greed, they're effectively killing it at this rate. Like point-blank this is not worth $40, ever, imo.
The issues with the downloading could be because everyone is trying to get it at the same time. It's possible that the purchases are overloading the app, but this still shouldn't happen. I don't even try to purchase anything on the same day a game comes out. I wait for at least a month or so. That way if there are any bugs/glitches or other problems, hopefully they're resolved by the time I get to it.
Yes.. this was a problem already before the app even on origin.. i usually have to wait a week seeing every day if today is the day i get to download the new whatever it is this time. Then the next week we scramble with the bugs. After the ladt expansion i said this is the last i cant take this shit anymore but this was horses. 😂
I’ve got a new bug/glitch I never had. My sims can’t take leftovers from fridges. If they bake a cake then can’t take a piece of it. Only quick meals save me from going nuts😭
I’ve had that glitch, but it’s only when other people would just randomly bake cakes in my house. I could put it away, but I couldn’t get it as leftovers. It was really weird.

This console player stopped buying stuff a long time ago. I would have loved to get wedding stories but oh well. My all-time favorites were Dine Out and Discover University. When I download my favorite restaurant that came with the pack my sims can't get to the restroom and start to have a bladder emergency before the food comes if it ever does. Then they all get up from the table and walk around the restaurant doing whatever before I can even order for table. Discover University does not start a packing up stage after graduation anymore. Also if I have two sims in college at the same time. There is no guarantee they are both going to get their graduation picture. Then if they do get it and move sometimes it turns black. The picture is supposed to be a reward for finishing college! Both of these worked perfectly when I first got them and were mega fun. But when I save up and purchase stuff and it breaks and stays broken what can I say. When the lag in game is horrible it stops being fun. When I see all this new stuff I just look at it wishfully thinking it must be nice. My daughter used to ask for sims packs and expansion packs for birthdays, holidays, etc and she stopped playing altogether. I can play a little if I hype myself up to be patient. But to be honest Im afraid to buy anything else. I wanted wedding stories but at least base game weddings still work so I passed on it.
I learned that if you are using TOOL, you need to delete it and redownload updated version. (It was updated today) That’s what fixed my issue with the white screen.
I personally don't plan on purchasing this game pack being charged at an expansion pack price. Even if it's half off. I can already tell that many folks will play it for a few days and then quickly get bored with it due to the lack of gameplay, the set dressing world, the focus on CAS and build buy over gameplay.
Luckily I haven't come across any of the glitches you mentioned in the video with the horses, although my Sim did go into T-pose mode and froze up for ages (and no, he wasn't doing the T-Pose challenge from HSY lol). It took me resetting him FIVE times, before he finally started working again, and then his needs plummeted into red on everything. Poor guy nearly died!
Thanks for the upload. Can we please discuss how either this patch that just came out a couple of days ago and the patch before growing together, has been causing an error on console where the cursor completely disappears? I saw a thread for the odd on answers HQ and it dates all the way back to March of this year. But of course, it hasn’t been acknowledged by EA…. The game is literally on playable on Console.
I’m waiting for horse ranch to go on sale because it is not worth forty dollars. I was so confused when immediately after updating the sims with the patch update my game started glitching with animation and constantly threatening to crash going to a white screen or disappearing like it had closed and then flashing back. I hope this gets resolved soon
Incoming Review ( I had a whole 'nother bit and clicked a video link on accident, ugh) I bought it LMAO. I love horses in Sims 3 so I felt compelled to.. Overall, truly is the bare minimum; it really isn't the worst pack out there, though, definitely not the best. A solid 5/10, 6/10 if you want to be "nice". CAS for Sims has a painful copy and paste of swatches. CAS Horses was sad, yet pretty enough to be "okay fine, i guess". Will probably look in CC here soon. Build/Buy mode objects from HR doesn't even match from CAS, so yeah screw that bit. Horses DO NOT lay in their hay beds so wtf's up with that. Also, the horseball is broken ( got played with like 5x, can no longer be commanded, horse will refuse and jus' DOES NOT play with it) Competitions are more of a nuance only with ONE comp' PER O N E HORSE, 'nd that's it for the day. pfft. UNICORNS, a horn and sparkles from CAS that's it, with one ONE chance to pop it on there w/o cheats (play how you please) Legit Unicorn Occults with "whimsical" powers/blessing would of MAYBE paid for this pack in itself. Minus all of that though, the world is immersive enough, shacking up in Galloping Gulch is probably the best place to be. Riding around is nice and smooth, really feeling that "Rancher" bit as you dress up and build/buy onto your lot(maybe jus me) With all the autonomy from cats, dogs, chickens, llamas, cows (nd other sims if youre up for that) needs to be strapped down and fixed. The lag to run it all, I could not even IMAGINE living on that 64x64 and I do not want to. After this pack release, is EA and The Sims Team NEED, N E E D to optimize The Sims 4; otherwise this franchise, I can really see it going down the gutter.. Thanks for the vid and recap, Talking speed is fine by me, how my mind sounds anyways lol
All modders need to come together and just help make a new game im just so over it, I got sims 3 first expected that they will evolve the whole game , but they are just giving us less each time , and yall are okay with that?
I will be buying it on sale. Maybe. Right now all of my game funds are about to go to Bethesda. Nothing I have seen makes me want to dish out 40 dollars considering Starfield is not much more than that and incredibly expansive. I feel like I am being cheated by EA in comparison to other game developers.
Console players considering I am one.. we pay the same price as everyone else including pc and we deserve the same respect that pc players do. We lack the ability to use mods as easily that fix things. Why do we have to deal with our game being broken on console when we pay the same price for the packs and have to wait if not double the time almost never do things get fixed nearly as well as pc it’s unfair to those of us that use consoles?..
Yin, Thank you, you covering a issue in this video. I've recently discovered an issue with my game. And only one, Who seem to be talking about it. So, thank you
I literally just updated to a PC a few days ago, but on my Macbook prior to updating to Windows, literally every single world in my game that comes with an expansion pack I own was doubled- not only just the worlds, but the townies as well. My game is heavily modded so I just assumed that it was an issue with one of my script mods and my mods folder was a mess so I just deleted the doubled townies and dealt with it, but that really sucks realizing its an issue on EA's end, not just my mods !! for how much it costs to own all of these expansions its truly insane that they are constantly having this many issues
What causes all these bugs/Glitches is it just them not giving a crap and being lazy or do they not consider that if they keep doing this they are going to get sued. Like just fix the game and things will be fine instead they are digging there hole deeper.
Honestly, there are some bugs that are absolutely hilarious... *looking at those weird long fox households* If it's a game breaker, it sucks.. I had a missing world, so I just repaired the game and started it again... it came back...
Wait ok lol ngl the eyes cc for horses look freaky bc horses actually have eyes closer to what goats have: they have the "bar" eyes. But its horizontal. So those eyes aren't actually realistic.
On the dlc page on origin none of the other packs have the words Expansion Pack after the title but horse range does it’s full title is Horse Ranch Expansion Pack vs Growing Together, Get Together
Watching everyone posting their bugs & glitches on Twitter yesterday just blew my mind! I remember how excited the pre-order people were and just cringed. When did people stop caring about reviews or even waiting for them?
I haven’t had any of these game breaking bugs. The only thing I’ve experienced is that my ranch hand does not consistently show up daily and I have to keep rehiring.
I had trouble downloading the pack. I pre-ordered the pack a month ago. Once I noticed it wasn’t downloading I ask for a refund and they immediately fixed it
Duplicate Worlds is not just a Horse Ranch glitch. It's a known issue that's been happening for years. It seems to pop up randomly when a new pack is added. I've seen reports on EA Answers HQ of this happening to others and I've been hit with it twice on PS4. Last year Forgotten Hollow got Duplicated, and I just spent 2 days sending lots and households to my Library, creating a new save, and putting everything back due to getting hit with a duplicate Chestnut Ridge. It's an old and unpredictable bug that can hit when a new World is added to an older save.
I literally stop buying Sims Contant, because of the fact that I kept feeling like their nickel and diming us and overcharging us. The last thing that I bought was cottage living, and after that Pat came out with so many issues and problems I’ve had never to buy another piece of Simmons Content again unless it’s on sale
I had issues downloading the pack too! I thought it was a storage issue so I deleted everything and it still wouldn't download, I ended up resetting my whole computer and it finally downloaded... but I didn't have any of my other packs! so I had to delete the sims and now I'm redownloading it (again) on steam.
oh okay good to know im not the only one because for two days straight, like right after the patch update..my sims couldnt eat or drink or even take care of themselves without resetting
I’m having a big issue with BB from the patch (I didn’t buy the pack), when I click on an object to buy it I have struggles. If I manage to IMMEDIATELY put it down it’s ok, if not the item isn’t picked anymore. It was so frustrating.
Honestly, i havent bpught anything for the sims 4. Ive been playing the sims since sims 2. But now im just waiting for Life by You in September😂 cuz im overall the EA obstacles they put on themselves
Modders to the rescue!!! As always, lol. However, this is TOO funny. They take their sweet time with anything else, but with bugs that keep people from spending money, THEY GET RIGHT ON IT, LOL.
Ah, i love how this expansion pack was so stripped back so that they could focus on the “quality”🙄. Quality has become sims 4 code for gaslighting fans.
I’ve been looking everywhere to try to fix it. I have problems with the map and I can’t ride my horses and I was getting frustrated because I spent my money on a game that doesn’t even work.
Awh i didn’t win… rlly wanted just 1 pack, but I’ll still wanted to see ur vids, my other Twitter acc Got banned and i had been with You ever since august 2022 last year
omg thank you ! & it's ok, If you've been subscribed for awhile you know I do these all the time to give back to you guys. Already planning the next one !
I have the duplicate world bug, but on Journey to Batuu, I think as it's due to that being the last pack I bought. I don't even have the horse pack yet. Needless to say I was mighty confused
You hit the nail on the console head. They aren't concerned with us cause most money comes from pc or mac buyers. I will not be buying it just like high school. I guess I'll wait til growing goes on sale only for changing tables
All day yesterday, the expansion pack would not download. I deleted my whole game. I even reset nothing worked not until about 11 o’clock it finally downloaded ridiculous.
the duplicate world bug happened for me after the release of highschool in one of my saves all of the most recent worlds after that was duplicated and it made that save unplayable because of lag, i couldn't figure out how to fix it
Well, my horse I create in CAS dissapears everytime I try to play with the household. Also I cant adopt or buy a horse. So I have the world without horses.
The latest patch and newest game has broke the gallery completely downloads are at a stand still can’t follow anyone and if you upload be prepared for 0 dl numbers when people are downloading rooms builds and sims download count has completely stopped
I won’t lie, I was super against this pack at first but I’m actually having so much fun with it 😭 adding all the new animals with the cottage living ones is so fun
I play on pc and laptop. Laptop suprisingly worked perfectly.. even with the 10 000+ mods and all. Got home from a trip and on my pc ”to play properly” but problems problems problems.. biggest one being taht the new world does not seme to exist in my game.. tried all the usual stuff (mods out, then reinstalling restarting the whole pc..) but still the world wont appear and cannot travel there. I still have horses, BB stuff and CAS working no problem.. and i can also use the board thing to do the competitions. A bit stumped by this 🤷🏼♀️ let me know anyone if u know a fix 🫶🏻
I go to your videos before anyone of my other sims channels for news and sims related content, we love it over here. It’s honest and I love the vibes 🫶🏾
I got the bug with duplicate world and a house already moved in without having opened the world yet 😂 not a good way to launch a pack when I gotta trouble shoot it before opening.
This is why I dont play the Sims 4. People are spending their hard earned money (or their parents lol) and the game is still buggy and messed up! That is not right! Make sure your game is right before releasing it! The Sims 4 is definitely cash grabbing predators.. it is sickening honestly🤷🏽♂️
I bought it and it was unplayable for me, everything reguarding the pack just wasnt there, and the world was just a white screen, i got a refund n ig il try the sims again in 6 months see if its any better
This is so weird like I just bought the game pack and then I cant enter to the cas it is just a white screen idk what to do I tried to uptade my mods its still dont working I tried everything this is just hilarious ea just like to do money lol
Ngl I truly do understand having frustrations but sometimes when it comes to the gurus I think its unrealistic sometimes. Like I just dont understand why people treat gurus like ea executives when we all know they asses can get fired like us regular people. Like some people be making these grand demands and im just like "yall do realize this is their job right" as much as people probably would want them to speak out they are not obligated really.
Some people treat EA like the government and then anyone associated with working with EA as being political figures. There's comical polarities between what happens in the News and media and what happens in the Sims drama community. It's kind of weird ngl. Maybe it's some sort of coping mechanism but it's definitely not healthy. The Sims 4 isn't real life nor is it an example of it.
I was waiting for my mods to update so I haven't played yet. I do plan to play later so hopefully I won't have too many bugs... I still need to watch a few reviews but so far, I truly think this is a game pack so I will wait patiently until it's at 50% off and then I might consider buying it. Which is what I do anyway tbh, none of their packs are worth 40$ let's be real.
Yeah...I'm not going to buy this pack until it drops quite a bit in price. Congrats to the winners!🎉 and wow..they really don't gaf about console players
How can they advertise the pack by saying "we worked so hard on the animation" and "it's 40 because of the animation" but it still break??????? The audacity is out of this world.
After the damn update my sims go home without me im left on previous lot and have to make the sims come back so that we go home again😂 Dont get me started on the damn infants THAT ARE STILL BUGGY 4 HOURS HOLDING THE BABY AND PEEING HIMSELF IN THE BATHROOM THE ENTIRE TIME
This game breaking every time they try to charge us 40 dollars is not the vibe
like ???? what are they thinking
Fr! This right here.
Literally! any update can break the game
Honestly
My sims just have stopped eating lol
I love it when people call this a game pack instead of a expansion
lol
I think it's ridiculous. It is what it is and calling it something else is just childish and changes nothing. There's also a lot of content, more than it was given credit for, on par with many other Expansions. New pets and farm animals, new clothes and build mode items, new Skills, activities, Aspirations, a new World with 3 Neighborhoods and 13 Lots New unique NPCs.

even buying on sale really doesn't do anything it just shows them that all they have to do is wait you out and you'll buy it adventually.
Exactly my thoughts. I stopped buying after HSY. Didn’t get my wedding stories or werewolves. I didn’t want to give another penny to EA

But to be honest Im afraid to buy anything else. I wanted wedding stories but at least base game weddings still work so I passed on it.
I learned that if you are using TOOL, you need to delete it and redownload updated version. (It was updated today) That’s what fixed my issue with the white screen.
I personally don't plan on purchasing this game pack being charged at an expansion pack price. Even if it's half off. I can already tell that many folks will play it for a few days and then quickly get bored with it due to the lack of gameplay, the set dressing world, the focus on CAS and build buy over gameplay.
Babe wake up, TheSimYin just posted!!
Is it really a sims pack release without bugs and glitches
no. It's a feature that comes with every pack lol
It's tradition
Luckily I haven't come across any of the glitches you mentioned in the video with the horses, although my Sim did go into T-pose mode and froze up for ages (and no, he wasn't doing the T-Pose challenge from HSY lol). It took me resetting him FIVE times, before he finally started working again, and then his needs plummeted into red on everything. Poor guy nearly died!
Thanks for the upload. Can we please discuss how either this patch that just came out a couple of days ago and the patch before growing together, has been causing an error on console where the cursor completely disappears? I saw a thread for the odd on answers HQ and it dates all the way back to March of this year. But of course, it hasn’t been acknowledged by EA…. The game is literally on playable on Console.
Yeah console community needs to raid the sims direct because its getting out of hand how long they wait to address you all
I'll wait until the worst of the bugs in this pack are fixed. I am excited for horses, but I've learned my lesson!
I’m waiting for horse ranch to go on sale because it is not worth forty dollars. I was so confused when immediately after updating the sims with the patch update my game started glitching with animation and constantly threatening to crash going to a white screen or disappearing like it had closed and then flashing back. I hope this gets resolved soon
I'm always here for your honest commentary
I’m definitely not buying this pack until it goes on sale. I just cannot in good conscience buy a yeehaw game pack for more than $20.
It's only going to be 25% off I suggest getting it from cd keys for half the price
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️is answer ladies
@@powerhouseentertainment6780 I’m just waiting for the deal. 😂 it’s 30 on cd keys now I’m just waiting for 20
@@simonemoore3846 30 is the lowest it's going be in November as well since it's a new pack unless you want to wait until next year
Congratulations to the winners
Incoming Review ( I had a whole 'nother bit and clicked a video link on accident, ugh)
I bought it LMAO. I love horses in Sims 3 so I felt compelled to.. Overall, truly is the bare minimum; it really isn't the worst pack out there, though, definitely not the best. A solid 5/10, 6/10 if you want to be "nice".
CAS for Sims has a painful copy and paste of swatches. CAS Horses was sad, yet pretty enough to be "okay fine, i guess". Will probably look in CC here soon. Build/Buy mode objects from HR doesn't even match from CAS, so yeah screw that bit. Horses DO NOT lay in their hay beds so wtf's up with that. Also, the horseball is broken ( got played with like 5x, can no longer be commanded, horse will refuse and jus' DOES NOT play with it) Competitions are more of a nuance only with ONE comp' PER O N E HORSE, 'nd that's it for the day. pfft.
UNICORNS, a horn and sparkles from CAS that's it, with one ONE chance to pop it on there w/o cheats (play how you please) Legit Unicorn Occults with "whimsical" powers/blessing would of MAYBE paid for this pack in itself.
Minus all of that though, the world is immersive enough, shacking up in Galloping Gulch is probably the best place to be. Riding around is nice and smooth, really feeling that "Rancher" bit as you dress up and build/buy onto your lot(maybe jus me)
With all the autonomy from cats, dogs, chickens, llamas, cows (nd other sims if youre up for that) needs to be strapped down and fixed. The lag to run it all, I could not even IMAGINE living on that 64x64 and I do not want to. After this pack release, is EA and The Sims Team NEED, N E E D to optimize The Sims 4; otherwise this franchise, I can really see it going down the gutter..
Thanks for the vid and recap, Talking speed is fine by me, how my mind sounds anyways lol
Thanks for your review. I found it interesting.
I absolutely agree with you about EA needing to promise the game! So badly needed!
All modders need to come together and just help make a new game im just so over it, I got sims 3 first expected that they will evolve the whole game , but they are just giving us less each time , and yall are okay with that?
I will be buying it on sale. Maybe. Right now all of my game funds are about to go to Bethesda. Nothing I have seen makes me want to dish out 40 dollars considering Starfield is not much more than that and incredibly expansive. I feel like I am being cheated by EA in comparison to other game developers.
Console players considering I am one.. we pay the same price as everyone else including pc and we deserve the same respect that pc players do. We lack the ability to use mods as easily that fix things. Why do we have to deal with our game being broken on console when we pay the same price for the packs and have to wait if not double the time almost never do things get fixed nearly as well as pc it’s unfair to those of us that use consoles?..
Yin,
Thank you, you covering a issue in this video.
I've recently discovered an issue with my game. And only one, Who seem to be talking about it.
So, thank you
The game is gonna be broken for a month and I’m sad 😭 I don’t even have the horse pack
I literally just updated to a PC a few days ago, but on my Macbook prior to updating to Windows, literally every single world in my game that comes with an expansion pack I own was doubled- not only just the worlds, but the townies as well. My game is heavily modded so I just assumed that it was an issue with one of my script mods and my mods folder was a mess so I just deleted the doubled townies and dealt with it, but that really sucks realizing its an issue on EA's end, not just my mods !! for how much it costs to own all of these expansions its truly insane that they are constantly having this many issues
What causes all these bugs/Glitches is it just them not giving a crap and being lazy or do they not consider that if they keep doing this they are going to get sued.
Like just fix the game and things will be fine instead they are digging there hole deeper.
No one is going to sue..
@JulieVDK01396 Why tho they are literally giving us a broken game for free and selling us broken DLC on top of it.
Honestly, there are some bugs that are absolutely hilarious... *looking at those weird long fox households* If it's a game breaker, it sucks.. I had a missing world, so I just repaired the game and started it again... it came back...
Wait ok lol ngl the eyes cc for horses look freaky bc horses actually have eyes closer to what goats have: they have the "bar" eyes. But its horizontal. So those eyes aren't actually realistic.
On the dlc page on origin none of the other packs have the words Expansion Pack after the title but horse range does it’s full title is Horse Ranch Expansion Pack vs Growing Together, Get Together
It's always something with this damn game. Not even surprising.
Watching everyone posting their bugs & glitches on Twitter yesterday just blew my mind!
I remember how excited the pre-order people were and just cringed.
When did people stop caring about reviews or even waiting for them?
steam literally won’t let me log in now…
thank you so so much for the shout-out and for the pack!!
wasnt the reason it cost so much was the animations? why are they so glitched
Ugh the flying horse but not Pegasus!!
my poney keeps coming into my house is that suppose to happen i like horse and all but sometimes i like my personal space
You can lock doors for horses! And yeah, they can get into any door. They were showing up in my house too until I locked the doors.
Great video ❤❤! keep up the amazing work! Your such a underrated sims youtuber!!
i really appreciate that ! Thank you :)
I totally agree!!
I think unicorns will be a separate pack.
me to ! definitly might come with fairies !
I haven’t had any of these game breaking bugs. The only thing I’ve experienced is that my ranch hand does not consistently show up daily and I have to keep rehiring.
I had to get ea to reset my account because i couldn't access, so i don't know if that's just ea or a problem with sims 4
So I guess the hell with console players we always get the short end of the stick😢😢
I had trouble downloading the pack. I pre-ordered the pack a month ago. Once I noticed it wasn’t downloading I ask for a refund and they immediately fixed it
Duplicate Worlds is not just a Horse Ranch glitch. It's a known issue that's been happening for years. It seems to pop up randomly when a new pack is added. I've seen reports on EA Answers HQ of this happening to others and I've been hit with it twice on PS4. Last year Forgotten Hollow got Duplicated, and I just spent 2 days sending lots and households to my Library, creating a new save, and putting everything back due to getting hit with a duplicate Chestnut Ridge. It's an old and unpredictable bug that can hit when a new World is added to an older save.
I literally stop buying Sims Contant, because of the fact that I kept feeling like their nickel and diming us and overcharging us. The last thing that I bought was cottage living, and after that Pat came out with so many issues and problems I’ve had never to buy another piece of Simmons Content again unless it’s on sale
I had issues downloading the pack too! I thought it was a storage issue so I deleted everything and it still wouldn't download, I ended up resetting my whole computer and it finally downloaded... but I didn't have any of my other packs! so I had to delete the sims and now I'm redownloading it (again) on steam.
how bad is the people who play test these packs ... THEY HAVE TO KNOW there will be bugs
oh okay good to know im not the only one because for two days straight, like right after the patch update..my sims couldnt eat or drink or even take care of themselves without resetting
I’m having a big issue with BB from the patch (I didn’t buy the pack), when I click on an object to buy it I have struggles. If I manage to IMMEDIATELY put it down it’s ok, if not the item isn’t picked anymore.
It was so frustrating.
Honestly, i havent bpught anything for the sims 4. Ive been playing the sims since sims 2. But now im just waiting for Life by You in September😂 cuz im overall the EA obstacles they put on themselves
Modders to the rescue!!! As always, lol.
However, this is TOO funny. They take their sweet time with anything else, but with bugs that keep people from spending money, THEY GET RIGHT ON IT, LOL.
Ah, i love how this expansion pack was so stripped back so that they could focus on the “quality”🙄.
Quality has become sims 4 code for gaslighting fans.
I’ve been looking everywhere to try to fix it. I have problems with the map and I can’t ride my horses and I was getting frustrated because I spent my money on a game that doesn’t even work.
Has anyone figured out how to get rid of duplicate worlds? I have 2 San Sequoia and 2 forgotten hallows...
Im waiting for the sale, or really any sale for example from my local game eshops. Im not gonna pay the full price for this 😅
Thank you for turning on subtitles for us 😊❤
Awh i didn’t win… rlly wanted just 1 pack, but I’ll still wanted to see ur vids, my other Twitter acc Got banned and i had been with You ever since august 2022 last year
omg thank you ! & it's ok, If you've been subscribed for awhile you know I do these all the time to give back to you guys. Already planning the next one !
@@thesimyin is it with horse ranch too?🤔 i just never won one of your give always😕 but its ok i love ur vids! AND UR JUST SO GORG!!
I bought it, I am so busy taking care of 2 infants I haven't had a chance to test horse ranch
I have the duplicate world bug, but on Journey to Batuu, I think as it's due to that being the last pack I bought. I don't even have the horse pack yet. Needless to say I was mighty confused
I've had duplicated worlds before from previous packs, making a new save file usually solves this issue
You hit the nail on the console head. They aren't concerned with us cause most money comes from pc or mac buyers. I will not be buying it just like high school. I guess I'll wait til growing goes on sale only for changing tables
All day yesterday, the expansion pack would not download. I deleted my whole game. I even reset nothing worked not until about 11 o’clock it finally downloaded ridiculous.
I am just so sad that my dog and my horse cannot interact 🥺
The gitch of the sim bicycling there horse reminds me of my bike when I was little that was unicorn bike it was fun
❤ I appreciate YOU. Thank you Yin!
the duplicate world bug happened for me after the release of highschool in one of my saves all of the most recent worlds after that was duplicated and it made that save unplayable because of lag, i couldn't figure out how to fix it
Well, my horse I create in CAS dissapears everytime I try to play with the household. Also I cant adopt or buy a horse. So I have the world without horses.
The latest patch and newest game has broke the gallery completely downloads are at a stand still can’t follow anyone and if you upload be prepared for 0 dl numbers when people are downloading rooms builds and sims download count has completely stopped
I won’t lie, I was super against this pack at first but I’m actually having so much fun with it 😭 adding all the new animals with the cottage living ones is so fun
literally it is so fun!
I play on pc and laptop. Laptop suprisingly worked perfectly.. even with the 10 000+ mods and all. Got home from a trip and on my pc ”to play properly” but problems problems problems.. biggest one being taht the new world does not seme to exist in my game.. tried all the usual stuff (mods out, then reinstalling restarting the whole pc..) but still the world wont appear and cannot travel there. I still have horses, BB stuff and CAS working no problem.. and i can also use the board thing to do the competitions. A bit stumped by this 🤷🏼♀️ let me know anyone if u know a fix 🫶🏻
I go to your videos before anyone of my other sims channels for news and sims related content, we love it over here. It’s honest and I love the vibes 🫶🏾
I got the bug with duplicate world and a house already moved in without having opened the world yet 😂 not a good way to launch a pack when I gotta trouble shoot it before opening.
This is why I dont play the Sims 4. People are spending their hard earned money (or their parents lol) and the game is still buggy and messed up! That is not right! Make sure your game is right before releasing it! The Sims 4 is definitely cash grabbing predators.. it is sickening honestly🤷🏽♂️
Where can I find the mermaid / spellcaster mods? I almost never do mods but would love to try this one.
I bought it and it was unplayable for me, everything reguarding the pack just wasnt there, and the world was just a white screen, i got a refund n ig il try the sims again in 6 months see if its any better
This is so weird like I just bought the game pack and then I cant enter to the cas it is just a white screen idk what to do I tried to uptade my mods its still dont working I tried everything this is just hilarious ea just like to do money lol
My ex bought it for me but i havent tried to dl it or play....just dont want to deal with the hassle of bugs atm :/
I also have the double world bug
Ngl I truly do understand having frustrations but sometimes when it comes to the gurus I think its unrealistic sometimes. Like I just dont understand why people treat gurus like ea executives when we all know they asses can get fired like us regular people. Like some people be making these grand demands and im just like "yall do realize this is their job right" as much as people probably would want them to speak out they are not obligated really.
Some people treat EA like the government and then anyone associated with working with EA as being political figures. There's comical polarities between what happens in the News and media and what happens in the Sims drama community. It's kind of weird ngl. Maybe it's some sort of coping mechanism but it's definitely not healthy. The Sims 4 isn't real life nor is it an example of it.
I was waiting for my mods to update so I haven't played yet. I do plan to play later so hopefully I won't have too many bugs... I still need to watch a few reviews but so far, I truly think this is a game pack so I will wait patiently until it's at 50% off and then I might consider buying it. Which is what I do anyway tbh, none of their packs are worth 40$ let's be real.
It would be more of a shock if a new pack didn’t have bugs at this point!
I just figured out how to download my game after a day... Never pre-ordering anything again
Yeah...I'm not going to buy this pack until it drops quite a bit in price. Congrats to the winners!🎉 and wow..they really don't gaf about console players
How can they advertise the pack by saying "we worked so hard on the animation" and "it's 40 because of the animation" but it still break??????? The audacity is out of this world.
It makes me so sad that everytime they release content it breaks my game. No CC or mods and it breaks my game every. Damn. Time…..
After the damn update my sims go home without me im left on previous lot and have to make the sims come back so that we go home again😂
Dont get me started on the damn infants THAT ARE STILL BUGGY 4 HOURS HOLDING THE BABY AND PEEING HIMSELF IN THE BATHROOM THE ENTIRE TIME
