I loved the Jean Grey Super-psychic attack chicken I couldn't stop laughing for over 10 min! I can just imagine your Sim busting into song, ".... don't fear the reaper .... "
Still looks better than most recent packs we've gotten, but yeah it would be so easy to cheese the game with birds and rabbits, not unlike dust bunnies. Although I still can't get over the fact that you can get 10,000 simoleon artifacts from not sweeping your floors.
Present piles are my op item of choice. You can just keep opening them and getting free stuff
Is it ‘price of a full game’ better?
@@oldvlognewtricks Not sure. Like Carl said this isn't the final product, so I'd rather wait until the full pack is released and reviewed before I decide if I'm gonna buy it or not. Given EA's track record though, I'm gonna go ahead and guess "no".
Looks like pets 2.0. Reusing resources you already have in the game is only ok when it feels different. I don’t think this is that different from pets and other previous pack that are already in the game.
@@deezy2k1 It definitely does have a Cats and Dogs vibe to it, especially with the foxes, but I'm hoping with more development time it'll be more of its own pack. Not saying it will, but I'm hoping.
29:38 I wonder why oversized gardening is separated from traditional gardening. It seems like regular crops should have a chance to become oversized with continued care and good fertilizers.
Because EA is lazy.
This is a joke that dates back to the days of newspapers. There used to be ads in the comics section for giant fruit plants. My brother actually ordered the catalog and found out they were varieties bred for jelly companies. They were about as common as Sea Monkey ads.
Agree! I came here to say this. I wish they would have just expanded on gardening by adding tons more things to grow and more garden/ farm stuff… the fertilizer you collect could have been what makes plants potentially “overgrown” and the quality of the fertilizer / your skill could help make them even better over time….
I wonder if part of the reason is they would have had to incorporate the oversized gardening in a free update if they had made it part of normal gardening.
“I do not want this video to be used as a sleep aid”
Me using it as a sleep aid: 👁👄👁
SAME 😂😂
Same haha
Weirdly, I used it as a sleep aid and this morning I am finishing it while I eat breakfast. It’s very versatile. Lol.
I wasn't using it as sleep aid, but my blood pressure decided to drop after I ate, so I slept anyway lol
Lol. Guilty! 😅
I love how every review starts with carl really trying to play as ea intended and slowly descends into madness as he find exploits
also rip milkshake 😭✊🏾
14:30 my grandpa once won second place at our county fair when he had the only entry in a category. He talked to the judge and the judge could name no flaws with his work, the judge just didnt like giving 1st with only 1 entry.
He never entered anything ever agian 😂
That's some BS 😂
That reminds me of a time when I was in college. I turned in a paper and my teacher gave it back to me as a 99% with no markings or feedback written. I asked him why I lost a point and he said, "Well, nothing's perfect, so I must've missed something." Like, WTF??
Oh that is BS. There's a REASON why these instances have the only participant win by default! xO
Can't wait for an uninvited fox to come sit on my couch and watch tv with me in San Myshuno.
Wild animals like bunnies and foxes are confined to the new world only 😉 its like with stray animals only appearing in Brindleton Bay
@@D0MiN0ChAn you can have stray animals appearing in any world if you have the cat/dog hangout lot trait
@@flrn_999 Yeah but you have to specifically select these lot traits in order for that to happen, while stray animals roam around all of Brindleton Bay by default; I guess that's what I wanted to communicate. I imagine the wild fox lot trait/challenge to be quite amusing in a place like San Myshuno 😂
@@D0MiN0ChAn that would be no different from London
@@D0MiN0ChAn Is there going to be a wild animal lot trait? Oh man, I hope so. Sometimes I like playing in that little lot in the middle of the woods on the Crumbling Isle in Windenburg, for example, and that would be a great place for bunnies, foxes, and a little farm!
“And now the mayor is inside me, destroying my aorta with my notebook” I was momentarily distracted but this brought me back to the screen
Must be Lori Lightfoot.
@@saltycat662 umm okay..?
@@saltycat662 Ah yes, Beetlejuice lol.
@@aquntio Aww is someone offended?
@@RedRoseSeptember22 the only thing offended is you & those slit paper thin lips which lori doesn’t have 😘
I just wish there's more skills added like "Cross-stitching", "Foraging", some skills related to taking care of the animals like "Milking"and "Feeding" or whatever. I want more skills!!!
You know if this was the sims 3, you’d have several farming related skills, several different lifetime aspirations (for crop growing, for the different animals, for the 4H shows), and some gardening, farming related traits.
@@pharoahcaraboo9610 EXACTLY! that's what I am missing on Sims 4. Diverse skills
Unfortunately they consider herbalism and finding herbs/ore in the wild "foraging". IGN, when reviewing this pack called it foraging and they've listed it as a gameplay feature since the camping expac. I don't think it'll get more in-depth than it is without mods
Heck, even a single "animal care" skill would be good
@@robsonrobson9905 Yeah, I agree. If the Parenthood pack can have the Parenting skill, surely this cottage pack can have a Husbandry skill.
you broke alexander so bad he turned into nervous subject xD
omfg HE DID PWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He always seems to age up with that mohawk and my game idk why 😂
@@grumpysphinx4911 that is friggin hilarious
Omg maybe he met the beakers on the way x'D I have nervous subjects in Oasis spring and now I kinda want to make him Alexander's best friend
@@Nirax3 have them work in a punk rock coffee shop together, that would be super cute lol.
I appreciate you give all sides of the expansions. I feel like a few other game changers get excited about certain things and gush about them rather than giving a well rounded review.
true. I don't follow many simmers, but the ones I do are so excited about this pack that I haven't heard 1 bad thing about it. I can always trust Carl to give an unbiased opinion.
I find James Turner isn't too bad. He usually does a rags to riches play with the packs and picks up all the bugs on his steams whereas few others don't seem to unless it's a huge game breaking bug. But he does tend to play with everything the ep has which is really good.
"Good luck, Brown Llama Wool! Losers must not have any birds!"
Why did this one line make me laugh so freakin much?
They are in no rush to speed up work on sims 5 because they can release these packs for 39.99 forever..
Hope they don't rush TS5, don't want it to be like how TS4 released, lacking tons of features...
TS5 is a different team than TS4 team. They work separately, just like with Sims mobile
why would we need a sims 5 right now anyways??? who tf wants that
@@ktt7027
People who aren't happy with the current direction and model of Sims 4 are hoping a new game will reboot things. In particular, there's concerns that the base code of Sims 4 becomes messier and harder to work with the more they add. So, the assumption is that a whole new game will be built on much stabler code while still being able to run on newer computers.
Personally, I'm not holding out hope for Sims 5 because it's likely to be subject to the same piecemeal sales tactics as most of EA's products. The best we can hope for is Sims 3 style integration for new content.
Insane. That's the price of the base game...
Your narration style not only makes these videos informative as heck, but a absolute blast to watch. And really appreciate your detailed coverage of Sims info!
Also, turns out the real farm was the friends we made along the way. Y'know. Birds.
Carl who are we kidding, the pre-release is the actual release. Do you think Maxis is known for play testing and updating broken features since 2014? pffft Still waiting to be able to play Dineout properly..
Exactly! Especially when it's supposed to be out in a couple weeks too? EA is not really known for putting off Sims long enough to make it better so I don't see them changing the day. Most likely they are gonna fix a painting and call it done. 🤣🤣
That perfectly describes what The Sims 4 has always been, and always will be.
lmao i'm srill waiting to be able to play starlight shores correctly
i still haven’t been able to play 🥺
still really wanting to be able to PLAY with dine out without it being broken
The way those "rewards" are being given are pretty much like many other packs, they act like loot boxes and give you random crap without any context or sense like it's hard to grind simoleons or something, I really can't get it.
Yeah, it seems they didn't learn anything from the dust bunny glitch. I really hate that random creatures just gives you great reward with minimal work, the game's easy enough as it is we don't need stuff to make it easier.
There are a few other “rags to ritches” LPs that are being tried with it and some are definitely not having an easy time! Lol While these videos make you cry from laughing, you almost feel bad for the other simmers because it’s so intense.
At least this time you have to select receiving the gift rather than them just appearing, so it’s completely up to you if you want the random crap
we want you to feel a sense of accomplishment...
I wish they would integrate Sims' personalities into these packs. Like queasy Sims would not like planting or milking cows. Lactose intolerant Sims will be uncomfortable milking cows. Sims who dislike children will also hate chicks. Goofballs can juggle eggs. Clumsy Sims are prone to dropping eggs. Foodies are naturally better at canning. The game does an underwhelming job of tying their packs to the Sims themselves.
Edit: For those pointing out that I may be generalizing people who hate kids or are lactose intolerant, please be aware that these are just *suggestions* . I made the suggestion about disliking kids because the original trait may imply that Sims who dislike kids may dislike the responsibility of caring for any young. I don't know why they even added it when the only effect it had in my game was to make Sims uncomfortable.
As for lactose intolerance, it is honestly such a unique trait that I don't even know why they included it as a personality. I think the game would do better by implementing a separate inheritable/congenital trait category.
TL/DR, these are suggestions based on the game design we currently have to work with, and they do not reflect my personal views on other people's conditions/situations.
That’s a great point
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Mostly good ideas, but disliking children doesn't mean you'll also dislike chicks. Most of the people I know who aren't kid people absolutely love baby animals, as do I.
As far as a life sim goes the game seems to be forgetting it's 3 "main" features.
Emotions (barely implemented outside of things like the ghosts in the new pack)
"Smarter Sims" one element is multitasking, something barely utilised
Traits and personality: well, as you said
@@lucienfortner841 Yeah I didn't get that one either.
Hopefully it will not happen:
EA in 2009: computers are so advanced now, we are going to create a game with an open world - my old laptop deals with it and so does my new one
EA in 2014: we are not going to make and open world cause it makes the game lag too much
EA in 2021: let's make an expansion that puts so many animals on one lot that will cause lags
EA logic 😂
you can just remove animals if its causing lagging issues??
@@dandy10195 then what did I pay for lmao
22:53 the Grim Reaper tried to crawl away. That's one hell of a fighting chicken
You mentioned your guide offhand in the video but it’s a good time to say I used the Carl’s guides RELIGIOUSLY for years and years and years as my go-to encyclopedia for all things Sims. The day I realized this video was the same guy, I nearly died. I love that you have a channel on top of the guide!
Ditto. Carl's Sim Guide is the simming bible.
Not me watching this before bed because it'll help me sleep when he said "I do not want this video to be used as a sleep-aid"
Right! Like don't judge ME, you're the one with the soothing voice Carl! 😭 I can't help it
same! i watch sim reviews and LPs to help me sleep 😭
I was like Carl don’t call me out
Don't call me out like that... don't attack me.. I watch while awake also tho...
I am not the only person to use Carl’s video to sleep ?!
It seems that birds and rabbits are the new dust bunnies. Some modder will fix that, and the animal lifespan thing too. I hope. Evil Chicken beating up Grim and Dale was hilarious. I am tempted to make all chickens evil because I can. So if you have Evil Hen and Evil Rooster do they make Deviled Eggs?
Evil Chicken remind me of Cuckoos from Legend of Zelda!
Those chickens will be great for death traps
Deviled eggs! Genius. Thatd be so hilarious. A modder could im sure.
@Alan P i like the way u think ;) mwahaha
“I’m sick of playing by the rules.” ~An inspiration quote by Carl’s Sim Guides
5:46 What the- does EA know that for cross-stitching you use BLUNT needles??
And you get the big ole gray BORED moodlet so you can't do it for 24 hours!
@@sleekoduck I will strangle EA with my stitching frame. THIS IS NOT HOW HOBBIES WORK!!!!
On console I predict all the animals frozen in the same animation, twisting for 30 sim hours until a sim stops trying to pet a cat or some random sim decision that crashes the whole world.
Is no one going to mention that his Sim felt confident whilst he was lying on the floor? Dead? Cos a midnight rooster?
Love your videos, as always!!
Something about confidently lying dead on the floor is relatable
ALEXANDER GOTH!!! Oh my God, that poor kid!
Also Death vs. Evil Chicken and the violin had me cackling. 😂
Poor Alexander! Carl, your Sim traumatized him for life!
Just a crazy man rambling about how his birds are better than the villagers
It seems like the "Neat" trait will be helpful for the cottage. I do wonder:
1) Will a maid help out with the barns?
2) What happens in winter?
Thanks, Carl. This actually looks a lot more fun than most of the other recent packs. And it seems like you enjoyed playing with it, in spite of the limitations. Hopefully, they'll polish it up and add a few more features before it's released.
I'm hoping it integrates with everything else better than other packs. Way better than DHD!
@@CarlsSimGuides I'll look forward to your review!
@@CarlsSimGuides haha, yeah, but to be fair DHD bar is somewhere below the floor lever 😅
Nothing like a sim being totally confident from putting out a fire while dying from a fight with an evil chicken
As a QA and software tester , I'm pretty sure Carl would be the dev team's nightmare at EA Games.
Carl, your level of scrutiny is what they need to fix this game for good! I hope they pay attention to your observations.
I think if I combine the gameplay in this pack with a playstyle that is a bit more story driven instead testing out every feature immediately, I will get a lot of fun out of it. Like really, the building stuff is nice, the CAS is nice, I absolutely love that the sims in the town have a story and relationships and the world is great. It seems to also have more gameplay than the island and the snow pack, but I am not sure because I skipped both of them. I feel like sims is getting a bit better at creating appealing dlcs lately, but of cause it has it's flaws and it is still expensive. It's definitely better than I expected tho, I will get it on sale.
Yeah- I kind of want that bicycle reward (I'm sick of just using the university bicycle). I like how many more crops there are and more pies etc and that none of the rewards seem super overpowering. I do wish we had a way to make worlds so I could have more 64 x 64 lots. The crosstitching seems fine, though I'm annoyed by the "finger prick" being what holds you up. True sewers will prick their finger and just think "oh I hope it doesn't bleed and stain the fabric". They should have gone with "hand cramp" instead bc that can be a thing
I can see it now....
Alexander Goth raising a load of "evil chickens" 🤣
It's the evil chicken setting your crops on fire for me 😂😂😂
Edit: OH SNAP HE DED😂😂
The birds in Cottage Living seem to be like the bees in Seasons. Giving. You. Everything.
For. Ever.
You worry about some folks laptops being able to handle it and I'm worried about console players.
OH MY GOD. Do not buy 35 birds on console.
As a console player... I wasn't tempted til i read this comment😂
Not ever sure my desktop with a i5, 16 gig of RAM & a 1050 ti can handle 35 birds that look like a lot of activity.
This!!! I’m on PS4, already lags so bad
My Acer Nitro 5 should be able to handle it. But then again I do have lagging issues every so often but that is probably game related.
15:51 That all seems like stuff you should be making/unlocking as you farm with your animals. Seriously, a animal husbandry skill isn’t available!?
I would’ve loved animal husbandry as a skill for a petshop/exotics pet pack but they’ll never do anything like this 😭
Omg the chaos in this is hilarious! Thank you Carl, for being a critical voice in the Sims community. Your guides are invaluable!
24:48 It would be nice if you could befriend, trade with other residents, win specialty animals in the fair or find animals in the wild (not just the cows, chickens, and llamas, but horses, pigs and even goats).
The evil chicken was my favourite gameplay feature to be honest... 😭
lol same!
Now seeing those chicken's roaming around makes me happy that the animals aren't tied to a object in the way they only move around in a tiny area. Sure it will be interesting to see how far they can roam, but it's a start!
Yes. That was the biggest problem with chickens in Sims 3. The actions were cute, but overall you were stuck interacting with a single object. That is the way they went with rodents in Sims 4, so it's nice to see they didn't repeat that.
@@BonaparteBardithion i haven't seen cows or lamas roam though. So we'll just need to wait and see
"My farm is starting to look chaotic..." Laughts in Urban Rescue Ranch.

I love Urban Rescue Ranch
Now, this is epic.
@@Sam-ux7cn crossover of the century
And now I have a NEW channel to entertain me. Thanks for mentioning Urban Rescue Ranch.
Evil Chickens burning the farm down is the chaos I've been missing
Reminds me of the red dragons from Sims 1.
1:52 I'm so sorry, Carl, I always put your videos to fall asleep. It's 2am rn, I was so happy to see this on my TL.
same here..... it's 1:30 am for me
I laugh too hard to ever sleep 😂
You would think that in what essentially constitutes a farming pack, The Sims team would honor Lassi's memory by making Pets interact with this DLC in a way that you could use Sheperd dogs to YOU KNOW Sheperd your animals? Or maybe, just protect them from foxes? I will insist till my dying days that sheep were a much better idea than a llama and that The Sims has opportunities to make this game better handled to them in a silver platter and yet choose to ignore it time and time again. It's adding little details like the ones mentioned above to the game, that I know take time to create, but that adds so much to the quality of the product that you would think the company would care 💀
There's a running joke about llamas throughout the entire Sims series. That goes back to the old SimCity games.
@@sleekoduck I know, but still sheep remain superior.
18:52 had me CACKLING 😂😂 the bird flew perfectly into the pov LOL
30:11 I assume the Golden Wool lost because there was no Lamma to go with it, which is why you got a participation prize only.
I imagine the cow could have won if you kept the golden milk for it even if it didn't come from the cow.
Possible!
I can't wait to make a modern Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty just so they can befriend all the animals.
When the golden chickens were running outside the farm it brought me to tears I was laughing so hard 🤣
I really dislike the animals/creatures gifting sims items....... it was already old with the dust bunnies
Same
Gifts from crows or pack rats makes a lot more sense than gifts from inanimate dust bunnies.
it definitely should not be nonsensical gifts like books. If they gift him random objects like rocks or berries or something most of the time then a shiny gem or lost earing once every few months, i think i could vibe w that.
Yarn, wool, feathers, even postcards kind of make sense from birds.
alternative title for this title: Grim does diy KFC
Appreciate you being honest. There are so many holes in this pack lol, and its definitely a sleep aid but thumbs up for the vid!
Poor Milkshake RIP, surprised ole Grimm is getting his butt whipped by a chicken!
I want to have an army of evil chickens now. Can they attack on command like bees?
No... :/ Don't think so.
It seems like they could attack Grim on command, but not other sims.
It looks like it turned on the master at the end of the video.
@sleekoduck I think Carl did that deliberately.
Although it's not included in the game itself there are mods to create death on command I'm sure death by chicken will be included.
I think it's pretty interesting a wild fox just walked into your house. That's the kind of randomness I'm looking for in the Sims 4. Let's hope they don't patch it out🤞🏾
As long as it doesn't happen often and you can shoo them out, sure.
I'm watching less for the new pack content and more for your hilarious reactions to them. The death row had me crying with laughter!
I'm glad I'm not watching any of the other game changers because they'd just swoon about how cute and such everything is. Like come on, seeing you play made me worry about the pack because it looks like it'll be just boring and stressful very quickly
Yesss I prefer to see/hear the truth about the pack's limitations and what content it actually does have.
This is perfect with off the grid lot
Thank you for your amazing guide as always. I've been watching and using your website for years, and you're pretty much the only one I trust for true should I buy this advice.
I just want to say thank you so much because if it wasn’t for your channel I wouldn’t have saved as much money as I have on the Sims
Carl the sim angel. UwU
The ending though while Carl calmly monologues 🤣
i love that he didn't address his death by chicken at all lol
@@nbucwa6621 The evil chicken is the best part! It can take on anybody
"I wonder if some people's laptops are gonna be able to handle this."
hmm then I might have to sacrifice my precious mods and cc for mediocre farming, I'm not doing that
27:46 Wow, I figured with the game's limitations that the chickens would still stay on your lot even when they aren't fenced in! I was wondering about that, lol. Disappointing that winning the fairs are completely RNG even when you have little or no competition
The fox only steals an egg, irl it would 'steal' your chickens lol
Carl : Ask fox not to steal anymore
Me: Swiper no swiping, swiper no swiping, swiper no swiping!
Also me: Oh man!
I'm actually hoping the cross stitching stays like that on this pack. being able to do one in a while because on the knitting pack my Sims just kept stopping what they where doing and start knitting . it was a nightmare
They can solve the knitting problem by removing autonomy. I had to get a mod that removed autonomy from woodcarving because their inventories were full of half-finished projects.
I liked having the ability to finish one knitting project and start another because I was filling up a flower and gift shop and I could dedicate a day to producing products. Will probably add cross-stitch to the inventory if I get this pack.
@@BonaparteBardithion they can I'm sure but I'm not gonna wait for so long while I see my Sims cross stitching left and right . I'd rather see it being limited like in this video, for now at least.
Did you happen to notice the life expectancy of the new animals? Similar to dogs/cats?
I think a chicken lives like 10-12 days and a cow lives a bit over 2 weeks.
LOL death by evil chicken. Anyone else remember the consequence of attacking chickens in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? So many good memories.
I thought of that too!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. For me, it's really helps me to at least be more "prepared" in case this pack coming out. Like... not too rushed getting them and wait for another many mods so I can play them with real fun :D
I'm wondering if you can place the animal pen objects indoors tbh, could make a proper barn or some sort of shell for it
man.... makes me think how much I wish barns were something you could make with cow pens PER cow. You know, you can have 1 per cow you can fit and it's up to you to make sure there is enough feed slots etc to keep the cows happy.
Death by evil chicken while your giant crops burn to the ground is exactly the kind of gameplay I need 🤣🤣🤣
"you stupid chickens!" Best quote of the video!
I do really think my laptop won't be able to support those birds
honestly, i think i'd love this pack as standalone. it's almost like a more involved farmville(anyone remember that?). but i don't think my laptop can handle it
Honestly to me, this feels like a cheap copy of Stardew Valley. I think that game costs as much as this pack alone, and it's, like, leagues better. Worth considering if you're into this kind of gameplay :)
@@emilyredbird7497 Stardew Valley costs $14.99 (and $7.99 on mobile which runs really well), while this pack costs $39.99, not including the base game!
Sims 4 has more realistic graphics and is more customizable, but I agree that Stardew Valley is better for farming gameplay (at almost a third of the cost).
Being Lactose Intolerant is a personality trait but don't we tell people that your health condition isn't your personality???
I do hope there will be either a farmhand (like the maid & gardener) or the butler will actually do their job (they have tendency to do nothing but wipe the white glove covered finger over everything and complain about being hungry, at least they’re not leaving their butler book all over the place).
Just noticed the spiral leading to a giant snail statue could be a reference to Junji Ito's horror manga, Uzimaki. At least I hope so. It's my favorite.
carl's milkshake brings all the birds to the yard.
I’ll let you know how it performs on my MacBook Pro. It’ll probably get hot. Sims always makes my laptop hot.
I can verify that it is very possible to lose at the fair, despite having the best animal or harvestables. Fair Judges judge not your entry, but typically who your parents are. Is the Judge friends with your parents? If so, you will win, if not, tough luck.
For example: when showing hogs at the Fair, the point of the judging is SUPPOSED to be selecting which animal they believe is the best. Best should be how good the meat is after butchering. In my first year showing hogs, I did not have any hog place in the top 10 (you bring 3 hogs). But, after the Fair, in the mail, I received a breakdown of how the hogs faired (pun intended) as far as actual meat goes. One of mine was 2nd! I got a trophy and a dinner at a fancy restaurant. At the Fair I had got NOTHING.
Moral of the story, Judges typically are not qualified for what they are judging. So the Sims 4 Cottage Living judging sounds pretty realistic to me.
"I do not want this video to be used as a sleep aid"
Me who uses RUclips videos to fall asleep: 🥺🥺🥺
omg I though I was the only one doing this 😭😭 I felt a little guilty but my insomnia is horrible so 😭
I could never do that, the flickering of the screen would bother me, all I need to sleep is a fan on :)
Horses. I am still confused as to why horses aren't part of this expansion pack.
Actually I do know why - EA will probably have horses as a separate game pack to increase their profits ... bloodsucking vultures!
‘The Sims 4 - Ranch Life’ lol. Full price pack for barns and horses
Finally I can live out my cottagecore fantasies.
It would be nice if like gardeners, we can hire people to help clean our coops and such.
Total chaos. Now that's a game~!
Alexander Goth became Nervous Subject.
"I don't want this to be used as a sleep aid" sorry to break it to you carl but this is what i plan on doing. relaxing videos help me fall asleep...first LGR and now you :)
I love the concept of the evil chickens! I think that’s really cool and I’m really excited for this pack! Thanks for giving an honest review, very helpful and appreciated 👍🏼🐓
The golden hen running away is hilarious! XD
Also, I LIKE how CARL tells it like it is and does NOT gush or sugar coat ANY of the game packs even this one. So ty Carl for telling us all as well as SHOWING us how the game REALLY works. Much appreciated.👍✌️
The golden hen appears to be the substitute for the unicorn from Sims 2/3, with it's blessing power. The llamas prancing, and cows snickering, are fill-ins (or advertisements) for horses.
thanks for this. your honest reviews help me to be level headed. yet again, until the base game is fixed an expansion is only going to give me one days worth of new fun and then i’ll get bored again and not play for months. going to keep saving my money, thank you!
I love your reviews, Carl! I'll get the pack ... and keep rewatching this video because you made me smile when I eeded it. Thanks!
"Would you stop?!" to Grim had me rolling. Love it.
I love to use the golden milk to evolve all my plants to perfect quality. It's called Golden Pulse. It's amazing, especially if you have expensive plants. Works on all crops as well. It's super lucrative!
"I'm sick of playing by the rules" 😂
Please more gameplay in the future. ❤
Yes! Thats what I want to know, how or if it works with other expansions!!! Because thats what TS4 does so badly over all the other iterations. The fox comes after chickens/eggs and the llama spits at it to make it go away, but if I have a territorial dog will he make the fox go away? It should, but will it? I have doubts. Apparently manure of all kinds is now going to be fertilizer, but will dog poop be made into fertilizer? It should, but I have doubts. Will I be able to can plasma fruit? That would be awesome, but again I have doubts (it didn't do much as "juice"). Lot traits were the cause of the problems with the Haunted House residential lots (until the most recent issue of them not going home after finishing their job). How would all this work with them, hmmm? Will spell casters be able to upgrade the stalls/henhouse? Will they be able to upgrade the giant plants like they can regular plants? How will the chickens react to winter? I have questions! And I'm terribly afraid I won't like the answers. Because, generally, it seems if they test at all they only do so with basegame, so then when we play with all the expansions it goes POOF. I actually LOVED the paranormal pack, and its so broken now. Did NONE of them think to test with the lot traits of other expansions? I'm scared, really scared, because I really really want this one. But I want it to WORK so very very badly.
Did EA forbid you from calling this a review? Cause we know from the last 7 years that this is exactly how the game will be at launch. Maxis do not fix bugs.
I appreciate that you are always honest about the packs and don't make it more beautiful than it is a lot of other sims youtuber exaggerate or say that everything is nice I like that you always give honest review and critically look at the pack respect.
This is WHAT I've been waiting for. Thank you Carl.

After watching this I see zero reasons why this pack couldn't include Nectar Making so we could make a vineyard; it's not like it's cheap. The arbitrary content limit is killing these releases for me.
