It's weird to me how much I like that odd green color that is literally no where else in the game. I feel like it would be good in jungle/garden themed things. Lol I'm probably being too optimistic.
My biggest issue with the new battlepass thing is that this isn't how I play the Sims. I don't stay invested for 6 weeks. I just no life the game for a week or two and then I don't touch it for months. Opening the game to do a 15 minutes quest each week just sounds tedious.
As a creator, so sad to see these updates as i could recolour alot of objects in one day - NOT 10 years!!! Waiting 10 years for more swatches is NOT a W! tHEY COULD DO alot MORE guys . Recolouring is not rocket science. These people have degrees and millions of pounds and cant even give you updated SIMPLE content.
thats not even the biggest issue cuz irl you dont have like 100 traits either, if you or ppl describe you they would give you like 3 main traits and the others are steeming from those traits and are more like sub traits or experiences but aren't the major ones so it makes sense of why you cant have like 10 or maybe youre bipolar
The Sims 4 makes more sense if you remember they hired on the same marketing team that was responsible for those horrid cash grab celebrity mobile games from the 2010s like Kim K. Hollywood or something like that
@@andpeggy3987 Unfortunately yea. Glu inc is a company that made a bunch of those Mobile games with celebs and EA bought them in 2021 ( think that's the right year). So not too surprising to see all those packs coming out offering less for more especially after a buy like that.
I keep replying and the comment just disappears. But yes, it's true. EA has a press release from when they bought Glu Mobile back in 2021, it's a quick (but damning) read if you search it up.
The performance update is BIG. My legacy save used to be 170mb before this update; it's now 15mb. I had to press esc once every 5-10 minutes to fix the FPS stutters but it doesn't happen anymore. It's like playing a brand new save file... everything's smooth like butter.

I literally don’t understand why, if they want to offer in game rewards through playing the game, they don’t make permanent scenarios where you can unlock these items across all save files. Zoo tycoon did this 20 years ago and I LIVED for playing all the scenarios to get my cute decor items and I never felt panicked about not having enough time to get everything. I can understand sims sessions or the positivity challenge being limited time events because of licensing things, but also, if baby Ariel is in my game forever I don’t see why I can’t play with Jasmine Holiday whenever I damn well please
Why they don’t add gameplay like sims 3 did when for example your sims had to actually interact with the world, could obtain new items from such actions, that included the player actively playing the game, finding or making stuff and being able to sell them in a player created store, or gift them or combine them with other stuff and earned rewards and on top of it opened new challenges through said game play, adding new interactions, animations and skills. Why don’t they actually define what game playing means. Because they can make rabbit holes, items which exists in inventory icon only (many things in sims 4 cannot be placed on a shelf because they don’t exist as a physical object), and make you read an essay or pop up instead. Basically force players to imagine how much fun your sim had on an adventure with the dog, a cave, exploring a jungle, while diving, visiting an animal sanctuary etc. spending minimal time and effort and charge you for a full gaming experience while putting zero effort into actually building a cave that can have challenges and be discovered or explored, creating mini adventures where they would have to put effort into the animation, creating an underwater experience and build opportunities , game engaging play throughs, new items. Why do all that when you can pretend you did. Send your sim off screen and said they had fun. Send your sim diving and pretend you had fun. Send your sim on a jungle adventure and read about it in a pop up (and this one was semi interactive since then this even limited gameplay has been reduced to putting no goal oriented play-throughs at all). Sims 4 is a game about what it would be like if you were able to play a game so you can imagine playing one. It’s made by corporation that limits the imagination while telling you to imagine everything. Too bad they can’t imagine they already have sims games to take Inspiration from and a game should include gameplay, should be challenging (and fighting your sim every step of the way because they keep canceling assigned tasks or doing stupid stuff is not what I mean), a game needs to include animations, things to discover, goals and play-throughs using said animation. Pop-ups and rabbit wholes which this “game” is currently reduced to is a glorified pop up book not an actual computer game.
Am I the problem for feeling a bit underwhelmed? Like these swatches are nice but it’s nothing special especially given the fact that this is all we’re getting for the 10th anniversary (plus some bug fixes to break our mods again ig)
@@meh9677 It's the toxic boyfriend effect. You always wonder if you did something wrong to deserve this and if you're a bad person for not appreciating the love bombing enough.
Yep, that's it. That's what "project Renee" was about. There is no new Sims 5 game planned. They're sticking to Sims 4 and back to the original plan, which was making it an online multi-player game.
I think they did that so we could make a haunted attraction lot. Put in the lot trait spooky, with a haunted residential trait for build, along with cursed and grimlins and grody. You might add on Vampire Nexus for good measure to really get the scary amp up. Good luck and have fun!!
That's what I was thinking. Might be fun to make a haunted house for my sims to visit on Spooky Day. I feel like we need that orb from Sims 3 that let you have different furniture/decorations change depending on the season though.
I would even use it on my paranormal investigator’s home lot. Currently, it’s annoying that she still gets scared of the ghosts at her house even though she is friends with them.
Tbf, unless they bind the battlepass rewards to our accounts, I won't bother to get a single one. During the last battlepass I've logged in for all the rewards but only when I switched to a newer laptop I realized I don't have a single reward claimed. That left me wondering, why don't they give us a small free pack with the rewards instead of this stupid bs?
They said the battle pass items will be linked to our EA accounts. They probably learned their lesson with the last event since people could just enter the “show hidden objects” cheat in build mode and get the items without logging in
The tile terrain paint looks great for fountains or pools tbh. Also every time we get new swatches I wonder why not a color wheel. It would have been so easy to do that from the beginning.
@@mewletterbut werewolves and cats and dogs have a colour wheel (also the lights in live mode you can change colour) ☠️ Yet they won’t do it for base game build and buy Probably in 2030 they might but it will be 59$ 😂
One post I made in EA Answers was about the camera jittering with or without terrain editing. Crin replied today to say that it's been fixed, but to check just in case some lots aren't fixed. The first lot I looked at was Havisham House in Windenburg. Unfortunately, the jittering is much worse. But three other lots I looked at are a lot better. Still have to check on others. All of the new window heights of the same window design and all of the new color swatches for objects is awesome. It's about time!
I'm thinking, purely guessing, that Project Rene will be a new world (who knows if it will be added for free or not) that you get one apartment in and can interact with other people who own the other apartments in your server. Problem: I play to get away from real people.
Now to wait for people to post the command of the ini to unlock everything without having to log in (and to wait for the mods to update if they're needed)
I hate the battlepass idea. Having to log in to get the rewards like last time is alright, but having to play? Oof. No. I play the Sims when I feel like it. If I'm not in the mood, I can't force it. Idk. I just really don't like this. I'm a completionist so, it really annoys me, but I won't be doing this.
lol the battlepass thing feels like theyre making an mmo and not a single player sims game 😂😂😂😂 congrats to you all for getting the free update at least! as a non sims4 player having spent last 2 weeks watching the suffering, congrats on getting some decent stuff 😂 (ok but it is kinda hilarious that due to how bad EA have been im sitting here congratulating you guys on getting some new colors, a couple new doors, and some new static terrain paint. this toxic boyfriend effect is strong enough to even affect me, a complete passerby just here to enjoy the tea 😂)
I've been patiently waiting for a mod to update to current version but now my ea app is broken yet again for the 15th time so I can't even access the sims 4 at all
9:47 I'm really not liking this, I collected all the previous battle passes but my computer had a problem and I needed to format it. After logging into my account and downloading Sims 4 again I simply lost all those items and the Sims support is ignoring all my e-mails. So it seems that if anything happens with my PC again I might lose even more items and whatever all that stuff no matter what 🤷♀️ Honestly, I'm just getting to the verge point of my patience, and probably in a couple of months, I'll let go of this game forever. I'm just fed up with how INCAPABLE this freaking team is. If anything, sorry for my broken English and all the rant. As I mentioned, I'm just so pissed and over all those BS lol 😅
I watched lilsimsies video on this before watching satch's, the new event apparently is saved to your ea account so this new "battle pass" won't be lost like the first version could if you had to wipe your pc for whatever reason
The thing I love about the Sims 3 is that even when you do have a loading screen when traveling to other worlds you have the option to hunt for items for Lifetime reward points. The sims 4 makes me sad now. Sims 3 stan.
All I want EA to do is fix that random lag we get that comes after opening build/buy or a popup. The one where the only fix is to hit the esc button to bring up the menu... They have yet to get that figured out.
@@kaseysmith379 Its so tiring and we know it can be fixed cause there was a modder who created a mod for it. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore cause they decided to stop working on it.. I have a 4090 with watercooling etc, I spent almost 5k on my computer. I don't lag in any other game except for the sims..
@@LoveByNicole damn that's a good pc , I got a 3060ti but actually the most recent update fixed the fps lag for me with the build buy and escape key thing. Have u tried playing again? Just make sure u delete the localthumcache file and update mods . It's pretty speedy even the fast forward 3x and 4x is smooth
So, they fixed some MINOR bugs but left others untouched. Like in Dined Out: can someone have a date without their pair always standing up and people interrupting? Cottage Life: I participate in some competitions (like the pie one) and I don't receive anything nor receive a notification about it even if I stay in the lot. Horse Ranch: when I move from a family to their neighbours, their mini goats and sheep become dirty and hungry and run away and the family that doesn't own them gets the notification?! These are three, but there are many more...
this update is ridiculous, all these recolors can be found on amateur creators' pages. EA is desperate because they are getting their butt kicked with the release of new games. They have been on the market for so many years and are so poor in ideas and quality that are disgusting there main focous is only maney.
The fact kits should’ve been base game free updates and when they pay walled the changing table in growing together, when that kinder set is base game is honestly still ridiculous and stingy af. I’m shocked no one is mad about it. Kits should only be paid for IF it’s made by cc creators. Also 90% sims worlds are set dressings and empty and 2D pictures and props the further you go in the map, 10% rabbit holes, and 1% playable. It’s so sad how limited lots are in some worlds and just taken up by low looking fake buildings/ houses.
Mr. Burns to Sims 4: "Don't forget, you're here forever." :D And it's becoming a mobile app, because it's very roots ARE a mobile app. It's like even after a decade, it stubbornly tries with all its might to go back to what it truly is, come hell or highwater.
ok I like the new terrain paint, now you can a overcrown curvy path with stone and plants create. I always wanted to do something like this in my gardens
Having not played for like eight or nine months, I re-downloaded it the other day to find The quality of life on there is definitely improved that much so that I didn’t even need to use cheats😅 Was absolutely blown away at the fact that you can now go on a date and dependent on the outcome of the date your date can tell you to never call you again It really reinvigorated my love for messing around with the sims … For example, being rejected and told never to call the other guy so I went to his house and f’d his husband absolutely thrilling 😂 I don’t know if you cover this in this video, but there’s been a change to gardening I made over 1 million of dragon fruits 😂
Oh, thank God. Maybe once I update it I will be able to play it again. After that last update due to Lovestruck, the lag between when I click on a Sim and when the decision wheel comes up was so bad, it was unplayable. I got rid of all my mods but the royalty mod, which I was actively using in my game, but it didn't help. Fingers crossed this performance update will make it functional again. My poor royals were left in a half-finished castle and expecting their first child. I think a lot of build simmers will use that excited, not scared lot challenge/trait to build Halloween haunted houses.
And, Practice Makes Perfect is a great trait. Although sims learn skills slow at first, they get better at every skill faster in every category they keep learning in. I've maxed skills fast using this trait, I'd be focused on one sims and the sim with this trait will be destroying skills. It's a little terrifying when they get the +5 moodlet, they'll likely never feel a negative emotion when that buff is active.
EA isn't getting rid of one of it's "cash cows". Also, some people out there have invested $1000+ in this game, so some of them might not abandon that quickly (I buy everything on sale/discounted) and I personally haven't played Sims 4 in several months.
BEFORE YOU UPDATE!!! I’ve seen people on other sites mentioning lost save files and not being able to load! Please, make sure to backup everything before you update. If you can, wait a while before you do update
The worst thing about the personality trait practice makes perfect is that if you actually use it with your sims it's almost impossible to have them do any challenges like changing their mood because EVERYTHING makes them focused. You can drink 2 of the flirty potions and they are still focused with no flirty moodlets
I’d like them to give us a handful of skill points to add to our sims in CAS at the beginning of the save. Like past sims games. Rather than a book with specific multiple skills.
The only thing I like with this battlepass is the rewards are tied to your EA account and not your computer so if you change computers you still have all of the rewards you unlocked. Having to boot The Sims 4 up on both my PC and my Macbook (RIP) during the last battlepass was a bit tedious.
I am excited for the new swatches, especially as a player who does not use mods. I don't really know what a Battlepass does but I'm looking forward to the log-in rewards.
They really should just add these items into the game without a battle pass and still keep them in theme with the event. It'd be better if these events were also always available instead of a limited time.
A big free update would be putting infant and toddler items for packs where they didn't exist since they barely have anything (which is why they had to make a KIT, so simmers would be forced to buy stuff for life stages that should just some items since they were added later)
I've missed you, Living my American life 😮 very much overworked, and I haven't been able to watch. I'm supposed to be doing notes right now, but I had to check in with you. Thanks so much for the update. Many blessings 🌞
I can't mind the battle pass. I have to restart the game so many times I usually get about 3 items before I can play for longer than 1hr without lag :)
So they tell us there’s not going to be a Sims 5, my game still crashes all the time (no mods) and I’m supposed to be happy about more swatches. At this point, I’m ready to throw in the towel and just not play the game anymore. There’s always issues and the team’s response is always a slap in the face to the consumers.
There literally have been lol, look at the difference between the release of the game and now and you can see that we've had multiple new hair colors. It's a very low bar obviously and I agree more are necessary, but it's not like we've gotten zero.
Literally my only bother : the sims 4 is making limited time items in log in rewards and whatnot- why? Why not just- give the items for free without any limitations??? Makes me wanna play less. Not more- to get the items lol.
If there is one thing i can count on after a long day its a satch video! Ur personality really brightens up my day, im so glad to have found this channel
You know what I wanna see? And it fits perfectly with the theme. Tarot cards! We got the séance table with the paranormal. And this pack being all spooky and about grim would fit perfectly. Even the teasers are on tarot cards.
Sorry, boo, but some of us LOVE the giant objects such as the cupcake machine 🧁 New swatches are BEAUTIFUL!! I'm surprised we didn't have a cute pink sooner

@@ashleymainmakes Haunted house is a lot TYPE, not a trait. A lil different. Maybe now one could live in one AND be happy to be scared? :3
Some of the stuff that you pulled out (like the first two curtains and the lights) always had those swatches lmao
And the wallpapers 😊
Tbf, unless they bind the battlepass rewards to our accounts, I won't bother to get a single one. During the last battlepass I've logged in for all the rewards but only when I switched to a newer laptop I realized I don't have a single reward claimed. That left me wondering, why don't they give us a small free pack with the rewards instead of this stupid bs?
They said the battle pass items will be linked to our EA accounts. They probably learned their lesson with the last event since people could just enter the “show hidden objects” cheat in build mode and get the items without logging in
That's honestly the biggest bs ever, such an a-hole move, especially how they are time limited events
no way EA is calling THAT trad goth
At least they got the winklepickers in there!
@@NicholasMcLachlan I was literally saying this. But are we surprised after the Goth Galore Kit? They clearly have no concept of Goth fashion. 🤦🏻♀️
Satch last week: we need a doors pack
EA: for the first time ever, were gonna give him what he asked for.
i love how the bar they added has swatches that dont match the counters, 7:11 the wood part of the bar is noticably a warmer shade
The tile terrain paint looks great for fountains or pools tbh. Also every time we get new swatches I wonder why not a color wheel. It would have been so easy to do that from the beginning.
Doubt the developer team could implement the color wheel without destroying the base game code. Too much spaghetti coding I assume.
@@mewletter Plus the engine was never really built to handle it.
I never played TS3 but I watched a simtuber who said that if she used the color wheel, her game would crash.
@@mewletterbut werewolves and cats and dogs have a colour wheel (also the lights in live mode you can change colour) ☠️ Yet they won’t do it for base game build and buy
Probably in 2030 they might but it will be 59$ 😂
One post I made in EA Answers was about the camera jittering with or without terrain editing. Crin replied today to say that it's been fixed, but to check just in case some lots aren't fixed. The first lot I looked at was Havisham House in Windenburg. Unfortunately, the jittering is much worse. But three other lots I looked at are a lot better. Still have to check on others.
All of the new window heights of the same window design and all of the new color swatches for objects is awesome. It's about time!
I'm thinking, purely guessing, that Project Rene will be a new world (who knows if it will be added for free or not) that you get one apartment in and can interact with other people who own the other apartments in your server. Problem: I play to get away from real people.
Now to wait for people to post the command of the ini to unlock everything without having to log in (and to wait for the mods to update if they're needed)
I hate the battlepass idea. Having to log in to get the rewards like last time is alright, but having to play? Oof. No. I play the Sims when I feel like it. If I'm not in the mood, I can't force it. Idk. I just really don't like this. I'm a completionist so, it really annoys me, but I won't be doing this.
The lot trait would come in handy during thunderstorms, I guess.
lol the battlepass thing feels like theyre making an mmo and not a single player sims game 😂😂😂😂 congrats to you all for getting the free update at least! as a non sims4 player having spent last 2 weeks watching the suffering, congrats on getting some decent stuff 😂
(ok but it is kinda hilarious that due to how bad EA have been im sitting here congratulating you guys on getting some new colors, a couple new doors, and some new static terrain paint. this toxic boyfriend effect is strong enough to even affect me, a complete passerby just here to enjoy the tea 😂)
In six weeks it would be Halloween, so that is probably what they were trying to do.
At first glance I thought you were wearing a witch’s hat
Will not bother to install the update but gonna watch this epic video about the updates 😅
Same. Always important to let these updates marinate over time because you just never know.
no lie my game is much smoother
I've been patiently waiting for a mod to update to current version but now my ea app is broken yet again for the 15th time so I can't even access the sims 4 at all
@@Applezauxe How
Same here. Been playing nearly everyday but I haven't updated the game since June 💀
Rent is due at the satchonsims headquarters 👏🏻
Finnaly a bike for basegame
What I like to have in game is a soda jerk station, where you can make milk shakes and root beer floats.
a what station?
@@user-gs3gk4vi3esomething to make a soda fountain
@@user-gs3gk4vi3e😭
Soda jerks are a fantastic idea! Especially for diners
9:47 I'm really not liking this, I collected all the previous battle passes but my computer had a problem and I needed to format it. After logging into my account and downloading Sims 4 again I simply lost all those items and the Sims support is ignoring all my e-mails. So it seems that if anything happens with my PC again I might lose even more items and whatever all that stuff no matter what 🤷♀️
Honestly, I'm just getting to the verge point of my patience, and probably in a couple of months, I'll let go of this game forever. I'm just fed up with how INCAPABLE this freaking team is.
If anything, sorry for my broken English and all the rant. As I mentioned, I'm just so pissed and over all those BS lol 😅
Yeaa same thing happened to me but for the most recent log in event thing, you can find the items in some builds in the gallery
I watched lilsimsies video on this before watching satch's, the new event apparently is saved to your ea account so this new "battle pass" won't be lost like the first version could if you had to wipe your pc for whatever reason
the last "battle pass" has a cheat to get all the things at least in build mode, so if u search after it i think u can get back that stuff
i think they're available as CC
honestly don't bother doing this battle pass shit people will find a way around it anyway
I feel like the lot trait would be good for making haunted houses, or some kind of spooky-themed park. It seems good for Halloween stuff
Lyney pfp is a W
@@rae3429Hu Tao pfp is also a win ❤
Thank you for keeping it concise and as short as can be while on topic! Too many people waffle . Great vid again
The thing I love about the Sims 3 is that even when you do have a loading screen when traveling to other worlds you have the option to hunt for items for Lifetime reward points. The sims 4 makes me sad now. Sims 3 stan.
And the color wheel + pattern options omg sims 3 was that b!tch
I always forget the cupcake machine... 😅
Lot trait will probably be for cemetery lots
I am excited for more colors. I’m updating now, gonna renovate a build with the new colors 😊😊
All I want EA to do is fix that random lag we get that comes after opening build/buy or a popup. The one where the only fix is to hit the esc button to bring up the menu... They have yet to get that figured out.
Girl tell me about it 😂 I play with my fingers on esc and it's just second nature for me at this point . Lol
@@kaseysmith379 Its so tiring and we know it can be fixed cause there was a modder who created a mod for it. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore cause they decided to stop working on it.. I have a 4090 with watercooling etc, I spent almost 5k on my computer. I don't lag in any other game except for the sims..
@@LoveByNicole damn that's a good pc , I got a 3060ti but actually the most recent update fixed the fps lag for me with the build buy and escape key thing. Have u tried playing again? Just make sure u delete the localthumcache file and update mods . It's pretty speedy even the fast forward 3x and 4x is smooth
1:00 probably the rewards you get when preordering
i think that is what it is.
So, they fixed some MINOR bugs but left others untouched. Like in Dined Out: can someone have a date without their pair always standing up and people interrupting? Cottage Life: I participate in some competitions (like the pie one) and I don't receive anything nor receive a notification about it even if I stay in the lot. Horse Ranch: when I move from a family to their neighbours, their mini goats and sheep become dirty and hungry and run away and the family that doesn't own them gets the notification?! These are three, but there are many more...
this update is ridiculous, all these recolors can be found on amateur creators' pages. EA is desperate because they are getting their butt kicked with the release of new games. They have been on the market for so many years and are so poor in ideas and quality that are disgusting there main focous is only maney.
The fact kits should’ve been base game free updates and when they pay walled the changing table in growing together, when that kinder set is base game is honestly still ridiculous and stingy af. I’m shocked no one is mad about it. Kits should only be paid for IF it’s made by cc creators.
Also 90% sims worlds are set dressings and empty and 2D pictures and props the further you go in the map, 10% rabbit holes, and 1% playable. It’s so sad how limited lots are in some worlds and just taken up by low looking fake buildings/ houses.
Mr. Burns to Sims 4: "Don't forget, you're here forever." :D
And it's becoming a mobile app, because it's very roots ARE a mobile app. It's like even after a decade, it stubbornly tries with all its might to go back to what it truly is, come hell or highwater.
ok I like the new terrain paint, now you can a overcrown curvy path with stone and plants create. I always wanted to do something like this in my gardens
Having not played for like eight or nine months, I re-downloaded it the other day to find The quality of life on there is definitely improved that much so that I didn’t even need to use cheats😅
Was absolutely blown away at the fact that you can now go on a date and dependent on the outcome of the date your date can tell you to never call you again
It really reinvigorated my love for messing around with the sims …
For example, being rejected and told never to call the other guy so I went to his house and f’d his husband absolutely thrilling 😂
I don’t know if you cover this in this video, but there’s been a change to gardening I made over 1 million of dragon fruits 😂
Oh, thank God. Maybe once I update it I will be able to play it again. After that last update due to Lovestruck, the lag between when I click on a Sim and when the decision wheel comes up was so bad, it was unplayable. I got rid of all my mods but the royalty mod, which I was actively using in my game, but it didn't help. Fingers crossed this performance update will make it functional again. My poor royals were left in a half-finished castle and expecting their first child.
I think a lot of build simmers will use that excited, not scared lot challenge/trait to build Halloween haunted houses.
Idk its giving the same energy as when they forgot the pool at first release
The Sims 4 is so bad I started living my real life…
😂😂😂😂
And, Practice Makes Perfect is a great trait. Although sims learn skills slow at first, they get better at every skill faster in every category they keep learning in. I've maxed skills fast using this trait, I'd be focused on one sims and the sim with this trait will be destroying skills. It's a little terrifying when they get the +5 moodlet, they'll likely never feel a negative emotion when that buff is active.
EA isn't getting rid of one of it's "cash cows". Also, some people out there have invested $1000+ in this game, so some of them might not abandon that quickly (I buy everything on sale/discounted) and I personally haven't played Sims 4 in several months.
If someone puts the grim stuff in the gallery like last time, do let us know.
Thank you.
I want that bike.
BEFORE YOU UPDATE!!! I’ve seen people on other sites mentioning lost save files and not being able to load!
Please, make sure to backup everything before you update. If you can, wait a while before you do update
Fck, it just finished updating on it's own.
Umm……mah have started playing as soon as it dropped
Could the whole thing that looks like a present be a display to showcase that you got the pre-order bonus, perhaps?
but the cottage living ep doesnt have the icon
The worst thing about the personality trait practice makes perfect is that if you actually use it with your sims it's almost impossible to have them do any challenges like changing their mood because EVERYTHING makes them focused. You can drink 2 of the flirty potions and they are still focused with no flirty moodlets
These are game developers with degrees and years of experience doing simple recolors for a ten year old game. This is not the flex they think it is.
I’d like them to give us a handful of skill points to add to our sims in CAS at the beginning of the save. Like past sims games. Rather than a book with specific multiple skills.
Welcome to the #1 resource for honest Sims news.
The only thing I like with this battlepass is the rewards are tied to your EA account and not your computer so if you change computers you still have all of the rewards you unlocked. Having to boot The Sims 4 up on both my PC and my Macbook (RIP) during the last battlepass was a bit tedious.
2:00 neither of those are new. Those are 2014 items.
3:35 that’s not new either. Everyshade is also a 2014 thing.
I am excited for the new swatches, especially as a player who does not use mods. I don't really know what a Battlepass does but I'm looking forward to the log-in rewards.
They really should just add these items into the game without a battle pass and still keep them in theme with the event. It'd be better if these events were also always available instead of a limited time.
A big free update would be putting infant and toddler items for packs where they didn't exist since they barely have anything (which is why they had to make a KIT, so simmers would be forced to buy stuff for life stages that should just some items since they were added later)
Recently noticed that the gallery is properly sorting things for the first time EVER. 🙏
It would be great if every time it updated, it wouldn't break my game and waste hours of time trying to find a fix or wait for them to patch it.
I think the orange icon is for packs you pre-ordered. I have it on Highschool Years, For Rent and Lovestruck. I don't have it on Growin Together tho.
I’m honestly surprised they haven’t jumped on the monthly subscription bandwagon.
Those outdoor tiles are the sort that you would find in courtyards etc of Hacienda or Spanish Colonial style homes....
I've missed you,
Living my American life 😮 very much overworked, and I haven't been able to watch. I'm supposed to be doing notes right now, but I had to check in with you. Thanks so much for the update. Many blessings 🌞
Always so quick with the updates! TY Satch! 🥰
I can't mind the battle pass. I have to restart the game so many times I usually get about 3 items before I can play for longer than 1hr without lag :)
I'm glad they added more colors. There should've been a color wheel from launch day.
Maybe the orange icon on the packs are for the preorder bonuses?
but the cottage living ep doesnt have it
Satchie is handsome. I don't even care what he's talking about as long as I can look at him. 😂
Same same. I love his face lol and laugh
I love his accent! I love his laugh! He’s just so amusing. I don’t get my sims news from one else. He’s always real.
Ya, I love him too but to bad he is gay n not into women! I think he is very sexy n handsome!!
Everyone trying to steal my imaginary man! Wth!
@BrokenDollyTV LOL sorry, but we can't help but to love crush on him too!
So they tell us there’s not going to be a Sims 5, my game still crashes all the time (no mods) and I’m supposed to be happy about more swatches. At this point, I’m ready to throw in the towel and just not play the game anymore. There’s always issues and the team’s response is always a slap in the face to the consumers.
I mean, they could have just added a color wheel
Tears in my eyes finally some new doors of all sizes
So many new color options for furniture, yet still no new hair color options since launch 😂
Need purple hair
There literally have been lol, look at the difference between the release of the game and now and you can see that we've had multiple new hair colors. It's a very low bar obviously and I agree more are necessary, but it's not like we've gotten zero.
But that’s literally not true….
@@notllikethat girl are u dumb
Literally my only bother : the sims 4 is making limited time items in log in rewards and whatnot- why? Why not just- give the items for free without any limitations??? Makes me wanna play less. Not more- to get the items lol.
just leaving a comment here just in case you manifests them developers changing the logo to Sims4Ever 🤣
If there is one thing i can count on after a long day its a satch video! Ur personality really brightens up my day, im so glad to have found this channel
So they have turned into cc creators? Well done Sims team. 👏🏼 👏🏼 [Sarcasm]
You know what I wanna see? And it fits perfectly with the theme.
Tarot cards!
We got the séance table with the paranormal. And this pack being all spooky and about grim would fit perfectly.
Even the teasers are on tarot cards.
I love the trait, the fridge and the bin we got from last time. Can't wait to get into the colour schemes. The event looks interesting.
Took me DAYS to update all my addons and NOW THEY BREAK IT AGAIN.
not now when I just uninstalled this game 😩😩
One day they will add gates to match the eco lifestyle fences lol I have to use the ones from get to work.
Sorry, boo, but some of us LOVE the giant objects such as the cupcake machine 🧁 New swatches are BEAUTIFUL!! I'm surprised we didn't have a cute pink sooner
I’m about to turn my console on rnn😭 So excited!❤❤
The wallpapers have been there for a looooong time lol
me, exclusively a builder, reading the event details: "does this mean i have to actually *play* the game? no thanks."
You should've actually read the fixes they made to the packs. It seemed like a lot of good and major fixes
