Modders really do carry the whole sims 4 on their backs huh
Hello! I know most of these comments r annoying but I’ve put loads of effort into my 2 latest videos and would really appreciate if u checked them out ❤️ Hope your having a nice day!
Ikr lol if it wasn't for sims 4 mods, the game would just be a buy for gameplay game
Sometimes I wonder why EA doesn’t hire all these talented modders but then I think about how things would probably be so different if they did. Like maybe it wouldn’t feel as special? I think mods and cc brings the community together and it’s so cool to like discover how much farther the game can go with things that people created. Anyways it’s 4am where I am and I’m rambling hahaha
@@maggielovestoads mood haha
they’ve brought so much more to the game than ea/maxis has
Arnie, a sole person doing what EA couldn’t do in the last 6 years🤧🤧🤧

@@ashtonrobertsss please shut up
They should just make their own game lol
@@lazycloud4684 dont be rude hes a kid
@@mikiboyhawk dude, the kid is being rude spamming lilsimsie's channel. They need to learn how to behave
Why isnt EA hiring the modders? Imagine how good the game would be if modders had the support of a big company like EA
modders hired by EA would have no actual creative input. They would simply be told what to do by their corporate overlords
Some modders actually don't feel comfortable with robbing people
Because modders have freedom to do whatever without worrying about system restrictions. Ea dumbs things down so things run easier.
@GNR Forever because they actually worked hard for ACTUAL CONTENT THAT WILL GIVE YOU ACTUAL GAMEPLAY MATERIAL ALONE.
Also, a vast numbers of mods are free /becomes free with time.
modders are making the game better for free. why would EA hire them when they’re already making them more money?
No one in sims

EA: Postcards.
Modders: Here’s new ways to build that changes the entire game for the better
EA: _star wars._
lmao
Lmao

another example of mod community doing more to keep this game alive than EA.... imagine how tired we are
That's my comment 🤣🤣

omg hi Adam fancy seeing u here
Not me seeing you comment on Jazzy Anne’s video and now here....

It’s very sexy how this one person was able to accomplish what an entire company with millions of dollars at their disposal couldn’t do in like 6 years
" sexy " 😂
S-sexy?
It’s not like they couldn’t, it’s more like they didn’t want to
sexy???
if i was ea, i would be hiring whoever made this IMMEDIATELY
The Sims team knows how to make open worlds lol
@@parryyotter no shit i’m just saying he’s talented lmao
@@yumihimeko3344 EA doesn’t need nor want any more people on the sims team

They'd have to pay him. Right now, he's doing it for "free" as far as they're concerned.
All i can think about is poor katrina caliente constantly unable to sleep because this mod has put the airport right next to her house 😂
HAHA yeahhhhhhhh

They need to give this modder a job at EA. He can do things EA says can't be done.

@@ashtonrobertsss spamming comments like this are how you end up dislike bombed. It doesn't make anyone want to genuinely check you out. I'm not going to do that because that's still engagement, even if it's bad engagement, but seriously, please stop.
Edit: looks like you're a kid. Internet hate can be brutal and I've seen other spam commenters get absolutely trashed because of this, so be careful. The few extra views aren't worth it mate, but I wish you luck on your channel.
@@ashtonrobertsss why are you everywhere?
When EA says things can't be done, they probably don't mean that they are technically impossible. Very few things are technically impossible. What they mean is it's infeasible given the time constraints and budget constraints they're under. It can also mean that the higher ups really don't like the idea of spending X amount of time and Y amount of money to get Z result, and would prefer to spend less time and less money on something else. Usually when it's this, they'll say something about it not matching their "vision" for the game or whatever. I'm a developer myself; fluent in corporate BS.
Nihilist Porcupine Yes I agree but They did say open world would be impossible. They said they couldn't make sims4 open world after the point it was completed and released. To do it would mean starting the game from development level and reworking the entire system. I understand they could never have made the original two world's open but obviously (having seen this mode) it would have been possible to do it with world's that came later... Or at least possible for this modder.
EA: *does a pack themselves*
Outcome: *garbage*
EA: *hires simmers to make a pack*
Outcome: *BEST PACK EVER!!!*
see a pattern here?

Open world was probably the best thing about the sims 3. It’s a same they didn’t add it to the sims 4. Loading screens are MEAN
It takes me like 3729383782 years to open 1 and there’s like 5 till I get to my actual screen😂

@@ashtonrobertsss I'm seeing you everywhere. STOP ADVERTISING YOUR CHANNEL IN OTHERS COMMENTS SECTIONS
They didn’t add it because Sims 3 was mean to your computer.
@@ashtonrobertsss this is not the right place for self-advertising. I’m reporting you for spamming.
I've already downloaded and started playing this mod 2 days ago! It really is a game changer. I've missed the open world in the Sims 3 so the fact that this was done in the sims 4 is absolutely awesome! I hope one day EA finally realizes what simmer really want though:
- Open World for all
- Functional Cars
- Actual and functional Babies with wardrobes instead of just being objects. I always age them right away to toddlers after birth because, as babies, they're useless
- Graveyards with ghost circulating at night (Which were present in sims 3)
- Color Wheel in CAS and in Build Mode for pattern/color/texture/material/... modification
- Job Carpools picking a sim up to go to work (I remember this mostly in Sims 2 where with each promotion, an upgraded/better car comes to pick the sim up for work and in one career, Business as I remember, once you've reached the highest rank, a helicopter comes to pick the sim up for work
- MORE realistic career options please!! Ex: Pharmacist, Dentist, Architectural Designer (which was an option in the sims 3: Ambitions where the sims is notified to actually go to another sims' house to change the design of a certain room according to a budget the customer proposes), Tattoo Artist, Kindergarten/Day care teacher which can be an open profession where you can actually join your sim to the daycare and take care of actual toddlers at work by fulfilling their needs (It would be so cute), Marine Biologist, and many more jobs can be added...
- MORE afterschool activities (There were ballet dancing and soccer playing options in the Sims 3 Generations which I really miss) and more can be added such as; chess club, chemistry club,...
- This might be something not all of you remember and it might be something very detailed but it actually improved the sims 3 a lot back then and would love to see it back in the Sims 4. That being said, I want the various types of relationships between Sims to be brought back; In Sims 3 Generation we were able to see father/mother/brother/sister in-law as a relationship between the sims which is also seen in the family tree. (In the sims 4 there are no "in-laws" relationship when check check a relationship between 2 sims. And also the "ask for hand in marriage" action from a sim to their partner's parent is something I always loved, like to get the parent's approval which is so cute! Not to mention the Bachelor/Bachelorette party where an exotic dancer comes to perform!
I have more options but these are the essential ones I could think of at 5:30 am in the morning haha... Feel free to add more options if you remember or want a game option/detail to be brought back to the sims 4 or something/proposal which you think would be a great addition to the game!
omg, you have so right, we need all of this!!!!!!
Omg- I read the list part before everything else and was thinking “damn! This mod sounds amazing”
Did we already review this can we have a let’s play with this mod
yessss

@@ashtonrobertsss I see that you are self promoting
@@ashtonrobertsss and why of all videos you have to self promo on lilsimsies vid
I for one would love to see a Rags to Riches: Brookhights edition.
It would be the exact same though....
How's that a random someone with a computer at home can make this game like a thousand times better than a group of IT specialists who work on it for a couple years
Because that "random someone" doesn't have to contest with budget, company plans, revenue, content drought, the community... and they can literally spend as much time as they want/need to get it working, sometimes literal years for a single "content drop".
@@selorkiith4461 you think these modders have a budget bigger than EA ?
@@selorkiith4461 No. It's because modders are passionate fans who wants their favourite game to be better. Mods in every game are always fixing what the company are too lazy or too incompetent to fix. Look at Skyrim. The modders are literally making expansion/DLC-sized games with the modding tools, adding new continents and maps w/ voice acting and what not. It's crazy.
Having to pay for a gym, definitely would make a rags to riches more interesting. That way if you wanted to use the facilities to have a hot shower, you would just have to pay. It also adds realism considering that most gyms you have to have a membership to go to.
I think the fact that she kept missing buildings is bc we're all so used to having like 10 lots per world that we just ignore the surrounding buildings but in this almost everything's functional so she keeps discovering new places
Anyone watcing in 2024

I cant seem to find this mod anymore :(
Too bad you can't download it any more or get updates. It's dead!
Hey, can you perhaps make a video about your pc and stuff? I want to buy a new pc that can handle sims 4 full pack including lots of mods and cc. So it would be nice if you make that kind of video of what type of pc and stuff that suits for gaming. :D
Really depends on your budget, and if you're trying to get a desktop or a gaming laptop tbh.
A pre-built Desktop with a Ryzen 5, and a 20series or 30series gpu will fulfill all your needs.

Does anyone have a copy of this mod? The original link is down and the creator is not being transparent with anyone on when it'll be back up
I do but it’s broken
@@Weezeler Apparently the creator did a full blown rug pull on this mod and nobody is talking about it. People were literally pledging to his patreon specifically for that mod and he said nothing about it. x x
well, the creator ran away.
It looks REALLY cool, but did anyone else notice the loading screens?
There's no loading screens in the city, that's the only open world place, in every other place there are loading screens

remember when the sims could actually buy groceries...
I really hope TS4 will continue to get big updates and we'll have details from TS2 and TS3
like opening cabinets, open worlds, cars, laying on couches, horses (I'm still kind of salty even if horses would be pointless)
idk if not TS4 TS5
I also miss how you could buy like whole chickens or meats and stock up your fridge with like whatever people have in their fridge like apples
Too bad support for this mod is already terminated :|
Yeah I wish that Arnie could have found someone else to continue his work and fix his mods but oh well 😭
OMFG! I didn't know this mod existed! It's like everything I complained the SIMS lacked for the past 15 years was just brought to life via a MOD?!?!!! I can't even watch the whole video! I have to RUN go get that mod right now!! Uh oh, he says you've got to have the starwars EP in order for the planes to work, lol, I hadn't bought that one because I thought it was a totally useless world and had no desire to own it. (the only one I don't own.) But that's all going to change, I will buy it now just so my mod world planes work. EA really ought to put some of these modders on their payroll. This modder 'Arnie' gets 100% of the credit to get me to purchase Batuu.
Kayla i have an idea what if you make a regular family home butttt theres a secret teen hangout that the parent supposedly dont know about
Why cant EA do something like this, with all the resources they have behind them. Love this Brookheight
ALL of those links are useless. They redirect to spam links.
Oh that immigration sucks mood. My American boyfriend is trying to move to Canada. Wish you guys all the luck.
i was about to get the mod but i dont have the pack that it requires
I knew it it's possible, EA IS JUST STUPIDLY LAZY!
So this is no longer available anymore?
arnie (creator) is fixing it. EA's updates broke the mod.
Gehehvevrvrvr simsie I have a concussion
honestly modders are keeping alive the sims more than EA...
Your a little late girl
its amazing how all these mods are advancing the sims franchise forward. makes the game feel like sims 4- wait
am i the only one who doesn't see the open world aspect of this?
i think you can only travel in brookfield, this vid is a BIT misleading

I have the sims on pc but my packs on console☹️
@@nellfernald3376 rip
This is the problem, as long as the modders are doing all this hard work, EA will never make an effort... Unbelievable that such a big game company is making such a poor effort with their most iconic game
This is just like a sims 3 world but with sims 4 graphics. This is what the sims 4 base game could’ve been!
I feel like EA is purposely making the Sims 4 and its packs subpar because they want to see Modders and CC creators ideas and such. They don’t want to do the actual work of listening to what we want (unless it’s one of those packs people vote on). I feel like they just want the consumers of The Sims to do the work and leave us hanging so that when Sims 5 comes out, everyone will be basically craving for change that they’ll buy whatever EA sells as The Sims 5.
you can't download it anymore... so sad
if i open the link to the mod i go to a hub site my eyes are burned

Hello, is there another way to download Open World? The link is inactive.
@@murielurgelles9831 I think it’s inactive due to it being made 3 years ago maybe try searching for a newer one
I saw the "farmland" bit flash by and made the most unholy noise of excitement... GIVE IT TO ME.
Am I missing something or is this just a Story mode? When you say Open World Mod, I thought more like in Sims 3, without the loading screens?
There is still loading screens if you're in the regular worlds, but in brookheights everything is open.
I really like the idea of just clicking on the shell of a building and my sim interacting with it as a rabbithole. I honestly think that if the sims had implemented this, the game would be able to keep my interest for longer periods of time (instead of me just picking up the game once every couple of months for like 20 hours and then calling it quits, lol). Thank you for this review, Kayla!
I completely agree. Rabbitholes can be really useful if done right
Why can’t EA do this 🙄🙄😡😡

The sims 4 should've been like this in the beginning 😢
Uhm... did anyone else notice that the large castle for the major spellcasters in Realm of Magic uses PLATFORMS?! How did we not notice this?’
PLEASE PUT 'TO GET SCAMMED BY TIFFNEY' and "I've got a bad feeling about this" on MERCH! I'm dying!
If Sims 4 were actually open world then a lot of yall couldn't run it without your pc turning into burnt toast lmao
I love how the intro has you looking for stuff so you get sick of the load screens in between LOL
Wow 1 minute ago but already 105 comments? Luv u Kayla!!! 😁
I love that they took the time to make a detailed little story as well as the whole mod
Okay so hear this idea for a challenge out. A family moves in to one of lilsimsie's favourite Blue-suburban home but they want to update it because they HATE those kinds of homes. I think it will be entertaining to watch her demolish her home to change it to a modern house with no money limits.
When a multi-billionaire company can't do what one single person can.
