      Yes, I have to agree - and that's the saddest part! I am having a blast in The Sims 3 with no mods and only two expansion packs at the moment. Meanwhile, I have more than a dozen DLCs for The Sims 4 and it's just not as fun or immersive. I only build in it at this point. 🤷🏻‍♂

    I haven't really played sims 4 that much since the university pack came out. So any of the expansion packs after that I don't have. I've been considering getting a bundle since it's only for $30 right now, or just some packs like cottage living or snowy escape since they're around $15 right now for me (I use my dad's EA account and he has the membership so I get an extra discount)
    I'm heavily considering a bundle though so I can get the werewolves pack, cottage living, and paranormal :) Plus i may also get the kids stuff pack cause I still don't have that one XD
    I'm really hoping they make outdoor retreat either free or do a refresh cause that is the only "old" gamepack I don't have, and i really want it. I just think it needs to be cheaper before I decide to buy it.

      GTW provided a lot of unique gameplay when it came out. Unfortunately, a lot of what it brought to the table was usurped by later DLC. And there were quite a few bugs in the gameplay as well, most of which still haven't been fixed by official patches. The active careers are great if you have a single sim, but lose much of their appeal for households with multiple sims. The stay at home careers from later packs are much better in that respect.
      I would have rated GTW as an "A" when it came out. Unfortunately, it's just a "C" compared to the other packs available now.

      Get to Work was my first expansion pack for the sims 4! Back when i got it, the only choices were Get to Work, City Living, and Get Together (I have all now) To me, having live jobs to do and running a bakery sounded cool so I got that one. I still love Get to Work, and I rarely ever choose a regular job if I don't have to XD

      ​@marylynn8386 I felt the same with Sims 3. I used to always think it was so much better but going back it wasn't really better. Like take the open world complaint. Yes the world didn't have load screens but revisiting it the world felt more like just walking around houses where Sims 4 might have a smaller area to explore but it feels like there's more to see/do in that area. In 3 I liked going to the grocery store to buy groceries for meals vs being from the fridge but I feel the Simple Living lot trait in 4 takes this to the next level. Really I think we were all just younger when we played it before and didn't see the flaws it had and we're looking at it through nostalgia rose colored glasses.

    THANK YOU for giving the love for Paranormal Stuff that it deserves. This pack is seriously one of the best packs in the entire game. It allowed me to live out my "What if i was in the Paranormal Activity movies?" fantasy. Being able to make Katie, Micah, Alex, Kristi, Ali, Jesse, Lois, Dennis, Julie and so much more and have them live in a haunted house is LITERALLY MY BIGGEST DREAM, especially when i can add myself with a "what if" scenario, and put myself in the action. It's so much fun, and i cannot recommend it enough.

    I will say I think it’s worth it to play base game with no packs for awhile to find your playstyle and it will help most shape what packs you prioritize when you hit that wall with basegame. Like my passage of time are my families growing and I like not having seasons because it meant my families could go outside more. Now that I have seasons it feels like it’s raining and gray all the time.
    That being said, if you want to play with Mods Get to Work, Get Together, and Seasons are very common for many mods.
    I personally LOVE living in Sulani. My favorite world. I played off-grid obsessively for awhile with just the Sulani stuff. I basically got eco lifestyle just to get the eco stuff and use it in Sulani. I will likely never live in Hawaii, but it would be my dream. Christmas on an island in neutral weather and no snow would be the best.

    19:14 This is where "Get to Work" is a NEEDED Sims 4 pack. You CAN run your own yoga studio (and maybe a nail spa too, haven't tried it yet) out of a retail lot. As long as you place one item (maybe incense) for sale, you will get customers coming in, and you can start a yoga class as an instructor, and the customers will flock to it! "Get to Work" has allowed me to play soo many fun stories!

    I can't believe you're gonna make me defend Island Living. 😂It's actually one of the few packs that has a good number of things to do. Aside from the mermaids being a lackluster disappointment, it's a beautiful world and the environment is great for sustainable living. You can fish in boats, use jet skis, swim pretty much everywhere, and the Marine Biologist career is actually really fun, although the Conservationist and Lifeguard careers can get repetitive. I'm not usually into beachy stuff, but Sulani is one of the most beautiful worlds in the game. You can also build seaside vacation homes or just live in a little hut off the grid. Vampires are also the superior occult imo. The powers are actually useful like super speed, influence, putting Sims into trances, and not to mention having immortality. Aside from the very small world, it's a well rounded Game Pack, but it really depends on whether you're an avid occult player.

    I bought almost all the packs and I have to say I don't recommend them at all! Just like you said, the Sims4 is a mediocre game and packs are lackluster and overpriced. Even at a discount I just don't recommend them at all. TS4 will never feel like a good game, and that's why I continued to buy the packs but I do regret it to some extent now. It feels like I was being scammed. Their expansion and game packs come with like one or two features and that's it! For 40$ and 20$ I have bought full games, which are just so much better than the Sims4 in it's entirety. Before you spent 500$ - 1000$ worth of DLC consider buying yourself something nice, and not sponsoring a toxic company like EA.

    If you get only the base game, then, you absolutely need to play on a computer and install mods and CCs. Starting with game play mods, then CCs for the build and CaS stuff.
    The thing that I like the most with Get Together are the DJ booths. Sadly, it looks like the bug where upgrading a DJ booth was global ; upgrade one and the same everywhere else, even in different saves, get that upgrade ; may have been crushed.
    For me, Seasons is essential.

If you absolutely WANT to live on campus, be a spell caster with access to the teleport spell and set to Always Teleport. Try to max out your research & debate skill BEFORE starting your courses to get a free 4 credits.
    Eco Lifestyle : ONLY use the roof top windmills. Those never break, while the ground one ALWAYS break. Same for the solar panels.
    High school Years is on my permanent Do Not Buy list, right next to My Wedding Stories, Horse Ranch, For Rent.
    Spa Day : Children tend to like practising yoga, and build both motor skill and mental skill.
    The only reason that I may get Vampire is the organ. Then, it's that mod from Twistedmexi that can turn any vampire into a normal Sim...
    Werewolf : Once your werewolf attains top level, he can continue gaining experience and may eventually buy ALL of the perks, just as spell casters that can get all of the perks. Also, werewolf seems to make pretty good parents, being able to care for their infants and toddlers even when raging.
    I got Romantic Garden only because it's currently free.
    Backyard Stuff : The wind chimes can get your Sims in a good mood, or, if you put to many up, a bad mood.
    Laundry Day... Or how to have your neat Sim throw his dirty clothing everywhere except in the laundry basket when standing right next to an empty laundry basket.
    My First Pet, another pack that I got only because it was free.
    Instead of kits, get a bunch of CC.

    Get Together is my most used pack, because every sim I play has clubs. The family club (to bring everyone together for holidays), the school/college friends club, the work pals club, and sometimes the hobby club (like one of them has a park run jogging group or a saturday football club).😊
    Dine Out is my least used pack as its just a buggy mess and doesn't work. Got fed up of waiting for hours for my meal, never getting it, then being charged after I leave.

    • @janetwebster5099

      I am not into the clubs, but still ADORE Get Together ❤️, as the world is stunning and there are a crazy amount of places (other then the highly overused bars) for your Sims to visit! Bluffs, Ghost House, Bookstore and the main attraction, COFFEE SHOPS.

    I still say Seasons and Parenthood are both way overrated, mostly useless packs. My favorite cross-pack combination is Cottage Living with Home Chef Hustle to make a farm-to-table cafe that you can live next to or above. (Cottage Living - simple living lot trait, plus a cow and chickens; Home Chef Hustle - the food sale table; base game - build your house and cafe with tables for the customers to sit at all on one lot and then lock the doors to the house part to household only)

    I started playing The Sims back in 2000, and I've played all 4 quite extensively. Sims 4 is the only game where I've actually sailed the high seas, because the quality just isn't as good as in the previous titles (I've also bought the base game twice, along with 5 or so expansions).
    Sims 5 really should have released already, because this game is very much on overtime.

    Coming from an OG Simmer, here are my recommendations of each Pack I Own that I genuinely like:
    EP: Get Together, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Island Living, Cottage Living
    GP: Parenthood, Spa Day, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Living, Dine Out (if you're interested on building restro)
    SP: Tiny Living, Laundry Day, Bowling Night, Nifty Knitting

  • @Annejali
    @Annejali 6 месяцев назад +1

    The fact that you said island living is shallow and doesn’t have much to offer is baffling to me. You can use the boats and jet skis to freely roam around the water and explore remote islands, it’s very free roam play. You can find treasure and if your a mermaid you can swim anywhere, sleep in the water and also seduce other sims, or even drown them like a siren. It’s one of the most beautiful worlds and gives you the option to build over water and has a lot of island style build and buy. There is so much more as well! I’m surprised you praised university more, which is so bugged out and you can’t even see the graduation ceremony of your sim after all the studying. Party’s like keg party’s don’t work and are bugged along with the team spirit days both bugged out and a waste of time. Compared to the sims 2 university, university pack is one of the worst packs in my opinion, batoo is the absolute worst.

    My personal opinion on some of these packs and heads up, for new players.
    HIGH SCHOOL YEARS
    I apparently LOVE the build-buy that came with High School Years and some of the clothes, it was the main reason I got it, but yeah I do kinda regret buying it…but I think I got it when it was on sale, so to those wanting to get please please PLEASE wait for the sales and maybe watch a review or two before buying.
    HORSE RANCH
    As Satch said, it’s a very underwhelming pack, As much as I LOVE horses this pack has nothing to it 🥺, the horses look nice but the Sims team put no love into it, example, when breeding horses the foal will look like one of the parents, not a mix of them, I regret getting it at full price. 🙁
    MY WEDDING STORYS
    Short and Simple, the base game wedding are the best compared to this pack, to many glitches.
    please please please! 🙏🏻 watch reviews of this pack before thinking about purchasing this pack.
    BOWLING NIGHT
    Like a LOT of the sims worlds they are extremely empty, the same with Bowling Night, I used the “bar” lot type for a bowling alley and NO ONE uses it, so it just depends if you don’t mind it for the aesthetics. 😐

    My husband just discovered sims 4 - I told him about the free packs and he can not figure out how to do it (he has an apple computer and I don't know how to work it so he is on his own) - but I also told him just to buy Seasons if it is the only thing he buys - but if he can not get the free things I doubt he could do that.

    Strangerville is technically replayable since you can revive the Mother Plant and even decide how "weird" you want the environment of Strangerville to be. It's just not very "replayable" in the sense that it's always the same set of steps to the same confrontation. Some people are going to enjoy that more than others.

    I feel like your reviews always have the idea that this is your opinion, this is what you believe and you do have a bias but I feel like you still do a really good job of trying to explain things with as much of an objective view as you can. Like with kits it's easy enough to rate it, but then I've seen some youtubers who rate them and it's very picky and 100% based on their tastes. Like the grunge kit? So many players love it because we don't have much of that style but if it's completely not your style and you don't try to be objective you likely are going to talk less favorably about it. Pastel Pop kit? I know you said it wasn't your style, but it's objectively a good kit. And the fact you acknowledge how different player styles will mesh will or not so well with various players.

    The problem with The Shit 4 is that when they have to do gameplay…they can’t. Imagine if a cook has to cook in a restaurant but their stove is broken and can’t be fixed. Yet they charge 40$ for burnt toast.

    I remember downloading it in 2020 during the pandemic. I was so excited thinking it would be like the Sims 3 I played religiously a decade ago. I was so bored! I ended up buying at least 4 expansion packs right away to give me something - City Living, Get Famous, Island Living & Seasons. Seasons is probably my favorite even though it should've been included in base game. It's nice to have and celebrate the holidays especially when playing with a family.

    If I consider the features I use all the time in every save file I start, Seasons, City Living, and Get to Work are some of the best for over arching gameplay. Holidays, changing seasons, lot traits, apartments, ability to run your own business, and even the festivals and clubs are all things I think most people use all the time. Cottage Living, Discover University, Parenthood, High School Years, Growing Together are a second group I would recommend just to make the game feel less shallow. Being able to send your sims to school, the updates to infants and toddlers, milestones, and everything about Cottage Living really helps to make the game feel more dynamic. The rest of the packs I think are 100% personal preference. Do a lot of research and decide what themes and features fit your gameplay style best.

    For some reason, I love the laundry day pack. Doing something as mundane as laundry makes my sims feel more real. The only thing I hate about it is how laundry will appear on the floor and start to stink, and how sometimes the gameplay will break and won't allow you to rewash stale wet clothes. You have to keep putting them down and picking them up, or put them in the hamper until it allows you to wash them.

    1. "Paranthood". 2. "Get Together". 3. "Get to Work". 4. "Cottage Living". 5. "Snowy Escape" (or "seasons" depending on your gaming style, but not both). I don't have other Expansion packs or game packs, but if you don't use Mods I would recommend "Growing Together" as well, however all the important things from Growing Together can be found in mods.
    I own "Tiny Living" myself but I haven't really been liking it so far. I'm planning on getting "Laundry Day" at some point, even though it is very buggy I've seen and heard by others🤷‍♀️
    And when For Rent is 50%, I'll buy that too, -however I feel no one needs more then 4 or 5 packs, if they are find with using some mods instead of growing together and packs like that.
    PS Jungle Adventure was free last year, I didn't get to buy it for free, but it looks really fun, I just won't buy it because it was free last year🤷‍♀️

    It's almost as if they made the base game intentionally boring and the packs buggy and half-baked to sell you on the promise of fun things coming in future packs and thus hooked into EA's DLC milking machine. Or maybe they're just banking on nostalgia at this point. "Hey millennials! Remember this necessary and very fun thing that was in the base game of Sims 2 and 3? Well, it's coming back to Sims 4, split up into three new expansions conveniently priced at approximately nine hours' wages at the federal minimum wage of the United States! Each! Hope you don't have to pay rent this month!"

    My personal goal is to just get every type of occult sim. I'm a big fan of supernatural and fantasy things. I also like having options of different occults in create a sim. For me playing with normal sims is boring. Also getting seasons in the future. I bought cats and dogs just because I'm a big cat person. Once I get seasons and the occult types -mermaids and servos I'm probably not going to spend anymore money unless they drop fairy's
