Actually, „the owning businesses“ such as the bakery thing didn’t come with dine out, it came with get to work. With dine out you can only have a restaurant and obviously go out to eat.
@@nathancadence6124 Well its not a restaurant. You can put them on sake, and then they will just leave, but in dine out you can fully do menu and such ect. So not really
Omg!I just realised that the Sims should Totally add a Olympic type of event so sims from differ ent world's can compete.I mean it's not the best idea ,but I feel like it would add a meaning to cycling, snowboarding and skiing in the sims.Maybe it could add new sports 😅
Yes that would make so much more meaning to those sports!! Right now those sports really are lacking, but that would make them soo much more meaningful
I started a brand new game recently, so all the worlds were reset. I took two of my sims on a date to the restaurant, I ordered food and settled to wait a while I actually started checking something else out and had my eyes off the sims when I heard there delight in being served good food. I couldn't understand how they'd been served so fast, and then I saw Caleb Vatore zooming past with another order. So there you go guys, you can solve the restaurant slowness by having vampires do the service
A top tip for making your dinner out in the Sims shorter is to: order Straight away and let your Sims talk while they’re waiting for the food, once the food comes only let them eat the food and not drink the drinks and don’t let them talk, once they’ve eaten the food (it doesn’t matter if you came with an NPC never eats all their food) finally let them have the drinks and they can start chatting, and that how I get my sims to leave the restaurant before 12 o’clock. 🤗
I like how everyone who's done this completely forgot the Moroccan oasis kit pack, it kind of just exists and because it is very differently styled to the other packs no one really uses it and forgets it's there.
I personally feel like sims 4 should include all of the things that packs bring in the base game, I think they are being greedy by making you spend so much money just to make your game good
They couldn’t add literally every single one of the packs to base game. Do you realise how much work they put into making these packs? That would make the game super expensive. And it would of meant we would of had to either wait years longer before the game was released or bought a super expensive game that was practically empty at realise. You gotta be realistic. They could not afford to give out all the packs for free. I think some of the stuff should of been in the base game but not all of it. They put tons of work into making these packs, they can’t afford to just give them away as a free update.
Or worse yet your sim has to be introduced to family members who lived in the same house while growing up but totally forgot when they moved out! (Or "cousins" asking each other out on a date! Ewwwww!)
Thank you!!!! Before I could afford packs I always lived in constant summer in earlier sims games... you should not have to pay for weather. Its ridiculous! So many simmers say it's their fave expansion, but I think it's more of it's essential rather than a favorite
I’ve been working my way on buying packs so currently I have (I’m quite lucky to be able to buy these with money I earn) cottage living,island living, seasons , cats and dogs , dream home decorator, my first pet stuff and kids stuff :)) I want to try and get realm of magic and paranormal next as I want to play something a bit new :))
In my opinion realm of magic is absolutely trash, the cas and bb i have used about twice the townies kinda look like they were randomised with random cc and the only thing I ever use is the forest world occasionally. If supernatural gameplay is your jam then I guess it is okay if a little lacking and there are deffo better ones. I deffo wouldn’t get it if I could go back. That’s just my opinion u might like it tho. Rant over lol :) I haven’t got paranormal btw
i absolutely love realm of magic. i never get tired of the pack and have no idea why some people think the pack is lacking (seems like most of the people who claim that it’s bland aren’t even into supernatural packs in the first place so ig their opinions don’t matter much). i always have different storylines going on whenever i play with spellcasters, focusing on different spells and goals each time. once one of my vampires died so i got his daughter to find a spellcaster to try and bring him back to life. if you’re interested in occults and have a good enough imagination to keep coming up with new story ideas you should have plenty of fun.
@@thesunnybee2012 oh cool! I might have another try because I am interested in supernatural gameplay I just found the levels and stuff complicated and I just wanted a witchy family to live out my Harry Potter dreams 😅
Realm of magic is ok, personally it’s not my style and if I were you paranormal pack would be better to get around spooky season, because it’s not very replayable. If you’re looking for a new type of gameplay, vampires (in my opinion) is a very good pack that you can get a lot of gameplay out of
When Clare said “here we’ve added a new repetitive mechanic that you can do over and over and over” I finally understood why I love sims 4 so much when so many other people don’t. That’s exactly what my brain wants from a game, but obviously it isn’t for most people and if it’s not what you’re expecting of course it would be boring.
The cats and dogs one broke me, i can't imagen my game without my furry friends,and i totally agree with islands living, i find my self keep going back to sulani, i just can't get enough of that pack, the cas and build mode just soo good i love the island themed clothes and love building in sulani i am never out of inspo.
I really like parenthood, because it adds all of the traits like responsibility, conflict resolition, good manners, controling your emotions… a lot of the stuff! I recommend! 💖
Get to work actually comes with the business and stores! It comes with a retail town that actually happens alot in America! Ex. Chicagos suburban towns are filled with malls and restaurants for traveling people
I live for Clare doing eejit addition vids Also One of the things that I don’t like about dine out is why are your sims who own the restaurant can’t cook in their own kitchen while the guests are there because in the real world if you didn’t want staff you wouldn’t have to have one because your family would be there because you’ve employed them so I’m just wondering why you can’t do that in the Sims
I totally relate to the lack of careers for snow sports! It should have one where you end choose a sports as you get into the upper levels. I do like rock climbing though bc you can built a lot at the top once you do it so I always do it for legacies as sort of vacation home
My first pack was City living, and I really love it especially if U like building, But I am PERSONALLY obsessed with Cats and Dogs, I love the world and items. If u like gameplay u should prob get seasons,
I think I really agree with your thoughts on these packs. You were brutally honest and I loved that. The only thing I would add is that some of these packs would slow down or crash your computer more, especially as a normal person with a normal computer, so that should be taken into consideration too! Thank you for reviewing this!
yeah but her using a gaming pc wouldn’t know. You can’t expect her to go out of her way to get an older pc to then struggle with crashing to then be able to tell exactly which pack is worse there especially since 1. the bugs are different for every user and save file and 2. obviously she is already working super hard on the videos she does without putting stones in her path unnecessarily. This is her assessment based on her experience. If you want an opinion on this by someone with an older pc I’m sure there are blog entries or tweets on it.
Clare! I also really love Strangerville! I use the build mode stuff all the time. Peacemaker ic did an expanded BB for this and it's incredible. All the window and archway sizes and shapes you want. Can't play without it. Also, FYI, owning a business came with Get to Work. So, uh, Dine Out sucks a little more than you think.
I absolutely loved the battle station and collecting cards in Kid's stuff. Unfortunately, adults can't use them and most of the people I know in real life who collect pokemon cards are adults! lol
You really helped me with deciding which pack should i buy, someone likes building, someone cas, someone mods, but i really like playing sims as their own stories like you! ✨
19:40 "There's a disconnect in game time" YES!! I feel like every time I play I have to micromanage everything to force my sims to do things in a timely matter. Doesn't matter what we're doing it drives me nuts!! My computer isn't the strongest but I use to be able to get my sims to do a social event within the 4-8 sims hrs to do all I wanted. Now I struggle just to get everyone around a cake to do happy birthday. It literally take the WHOLE event just to do the main goal. I'll start my events at like noon to then not be able to enjoy the actual event and rush all of it.
Key thing, they need to allow you to live and vacation in any world, regardless if it’s tied to a specific adventure/skill. I also chose to make my legacy save Spellcasters because it allows me to endlessly copy/paste Sleep Replacement and Plentiful Needs for when I did have my Sims in University, otherwise I wouldn’t be sending anyone to college! As well as the quickest shower and teleporting without using cheats!
Get to Work let's you own businesses, whereas Dine Out let's you own/run restaurants. Get to work gives you the baking skill too, which is why we have to cook a cake and not bake it. I agree with you on Cats and Dogs.
I agreed with you on your choices for the most part. I'm not great at building so I usually go to the gallery lol. The part where you said things were lack luster, no replayability and buggie I totally agreed on. I also feel like a lot of the stuff could have been lumped together or better organized.
Apart from switching Island Living and University (purely a matter of taste) I think your list is well argued and well ordered. If I were new to TS4 and needed a guide to what packs to buy first, your list is a very good starting point.
I'm so thankful LittleSimsy, Clare and others have rated these packs! I have been STRUGGLING to decide whether it's worth it to buy packs or if I can live without them and just do mods+CC- and now I have a better understanding of why I need packs 😩😁
21:35 actually i think vampires are the deadliest occult in the game. The control emotions power literally allows you to go on a killing spree. Once i had my vampire sim go to a bar and he made like 5 people die of embarrassment
I love that My First Pet Stuff couldn't escape Clare's peachy eye... it truly was the first moneygrab of The Sims 4... EDIT: Clare, I'm hearing you so hard with the Cats & Dogs pack... my cat is my soulmate but I *never* add pets to my games... 😭
For me, I totally agree that pretty much every pack has pros and cons and it definitely depends more on your personal playstyle as to which one you'll enjoy the most. Clare, you raised soo many good points about these packs that I was like "YES TRUE 😂". For me the biggest disappointment was Journey to Batuu because I am a HUUUGE Star Wars fan, and it *looked* like it was going to be SO much fun - it had the chance to be so full of exploration, SW things, fun interactions and just sooo much potential - it even visually was so nice?? Like the buildings and foredts and worlds are so vast and detailed but then you can't interact with 97% of it?? There's all of like 3 things you can actually do and go to (you can't even go inside 'the habitat' that your sim is staying at?? Nor any of the food places? Why??), and it was just unbelievably limited. I was sooo excited and I'm still so bummed it ended up being so tiny and flat. :( SIGH. (Nothing is worse than the First Pet Stuff pack 😂😂😂)
I love how you have like 2 rankings, one in terms of important it is to have for enjoyable gameplay, and the other whether if it is a good pack or not. A bad pack could be necessary for enjoyable gameplay or vice versa but its still a bad pack!
Clare, i just want to say thank you for filming these videos. You have helped me go through some things in my life. I would just like to let u now that im so thankful that you have helped me! God bless you - Tess McKolay
This is a really cool video! I love this! One thing though businesses came with Get to Work and Not Dine out! Dine out only came with restaurants! Hope this helps!
Running your own businesses came with Get To Work, I'm fairly certain. So a Bakery, or a retail store. and then with Cats and Dogs you could run a vet place, and with Dine out you could run a restaurant. And I'm pretty sure ladders came with Island Living.
Clare not mentioning Makoa in her reasons for ranking Island Living under Need it was kind of disappointing. Let’s face it, without it he would not be in the game and not be apart of so many 100 baby challenges 😉
I know that you've used little ms sam's mods in the past, because you're how I found them. But SO many of the bugs you talk about can be fixed with her mods and zero sims 4 mods. I don't even remember all of the annoying bugs because they've been fixed for so long by mods in my game. Bless the modders.
This is not anything to do with this vid but.. Idk if this a real challenge but I have started doing a box house challenge.. you make a box 6 by 5 and u out all the necessities. U have to get a job of your choice and you have to build up you house (potentially a family) and I am doing it until my main sim is DEAD. I think Clare might like it as it is a grind.. and let’s just say she has made it clear she likes grinds!
I get why people don’t like Strangerville, but I love that you love it too. I play with supernatural Sims, so that was one of the few packs I actually got right after release.
I don’t know all my own ratings by any means, but talking about Kids Room Stuff, I actually highly recommend it for extra gameplay! Idk, kids activities have bored me for so long, so buying that pack made their life stage a little more enjoyable.
This could NOT have come at a better time. All the packs are on sale, so a couple days ago I was debating what packs to get. I decided on cottage living and nifty knitting. Thanks Clare!
Horses are a must for me. Still waiting.... Riding and pulling buggies, caring for them. I agree 100% that pets need more "personality" in Sims 4. They sure do IRL! Automobiles, motorcycles, and buggies in open World!!! My favorite part of Sims 3 was following my Sims around exploring the World they were in. I think you gave a GREAT assessment of Sims 4 compilations. You mentioned not only the items, but the game play and who might be interested in them, even if it wasn't your "cup of tea." Thanks for the video. Exceptionally informative when one is thinking about what is needed, what might be useful and what can wait or disregarded altogether! Thanks again! Going to check out Deligracy's channel now. She's another Sim You Tuber I respect and enjoy her videos.
I gotta tell ya, Clare. I only found you a little bit ago, but I am so glad I did! I would have ranked everything the same as you. I also love the story telling aspects of Sims the most. I actually play Strangerville a couple of times different ways just because I love it, too.
I completely agree on Island Living pack. Even thought mermaids are boring, the world and everything else that comes with the pack is just amazing. There is one more thing I think they should have included. As they introduced off the grid lots (awesome!), they should have included solar panels and water collectors with this pack not Eco living.
Actually, „the owning businesses“ such as the bakery thing didn’t come with dine out, it came with get to work. With dine out you can only have a restaurant and obviously go out to eat.
I was about to comment this but checked comments to see if someone pointed it out.
So like can you own a restaurant without get to work
@@nathancadence6124 Well its not a restaurant. You can put them on sake, and then they will just leave, but in dine out you can fully do menu and such ect. So not really
@@nathancadence6124 yes. Dine out comes with that ability so yes
Omg!I just realised that the Sims should Totally add a Olympic type of event so sims from differ ent world's can compete.I mean it's not the best idea ,but I feel like it would add a meaning to cycling, snowboarding and skiing in the sims.Maybe it could add new sports 😅
Yes that would make so much more meaning to those sports!! Right now those sports really are lacking, but that would make them soo much more meaningful
Lol yea
yeah and everyone could compete for their individual world!!
omgg yes!!
No I actually like that idea! Kinda like geekcon (how you build up the skill(s) to compete in the competition once a year)
"If cottage living was on there..."
*screams at the screen as it is, but at the bottom*
Same lol
Same I was waiting the whole video until she realized
I was doing the same lol
“I like simping for hot sims.” Girl, own that. Speak your truth. There’s no shame here. Love to see it.
? Lol
Ngl, I made a hot Sim (wasn’t right till I gave him a little facial hair) and now I simp for a Sim
a have a crush on my sim 👩🦯
Yes go girl
Strangerville is such a good pack. I used to love playing the older sims games just for the story mode and it reminds me of it
I started a brand new game recently, so all the worlds were reset. I took two of my sims on a date to the restaurant, I ordered food and settled to wait a while I actually started checking something else out and had my eyes off the sims when I heard there delight in being served good food.

It’s a chicken and you worked on that pack 😅

As soon as their food arrives I order desert so they don't have to wait even more hours for it to arrive
Wow ty so much I feel so much better about getting it now
"I really like skimping over hot sims"
I mean who doesn't 💀Clare is just saying what all of us are scared to.
skimping lmao
@@cecilia8393 pf oops
When she said that, I was like... thank God I'm not alone 🤣🤣🤣
Parenthood is an actual must for me, it makes raising kids like actually raising them instead of controlling mini adults!
'They're a multi-billion company.' a FACT ♡
Technically she is a 100k company
I like how everyone who's done this completely forgot the Moroccan oasis kit pack, it kind of just exists and because it is very differently styled to the other packs no one really uses it and forgets it's there.
Dream Home Decorater is also forgotten
I use the tea set and lights quite a bit
Who else loves how Clare says eejit in basically every video?
I personally feel like sims 4 should include all of the things that packs bring in the base game, I think they are being greedy by making you spend so much money just to make your game good
I agree. Like Clare said seasons should already be built into the game like it doesn't even come with a world.
i agree
Then dont speend too much money just buy base game and use packs installer to have all expansions
They couldn’t add literally every single one of the packs to base game. Do you realise how much work they put into making these packs? That would make the game super expensive. And it would of meant we would of had to either wait years longer before the game was released or bought a super expensive game that was practically empty at realise. You gotta be realistic.

11:11 the way I can actively RELATE to this like “talk to the kid, Riley, he’s your *NEPHEW*!!! Omg plssssss for the love of God”
Or worse yet your sim has to be introduced to family members who lived in the same house while growing up but totally forgot when they moved out! (Or "cousins" asking each other out on a date! Ewwwww!)

I love how you have like 2 rankings, one in terms of important it is to have for enjoyable gameplay, and the other whether if it is a good pack or not. A bad pack could be necessary for enjoyable gameplay or vice versa but its still a bad pack!
Clare, i just want to say thank you for filming these videos. You have helped me go through some things in my life. I would just like to let u now that im so thankful that you have helped me! God bless you - Tess McKolay
Island living literally gave you makoa… that should be enough to put it in top tier 😂
I love kids room, it makes my kids rooms so much more unique and fun, it's definitely worth getting imo
We love the eejit edition , makes me feel included 😂😂😂
Clare: **Explaining why clubs are great**
Me: Clubs are great because you can find your future lover 😍
This is a really cool video! I love this! One thing though businesses came with Get to Work and Not Dine out! Dine out only came with restaurants! Hope this helps!
Sims is one of those games that is both nostalgic yet timeless! 😁
Running your own businesses came with Get To Work, I'm fairly certain. So a Bakery, or a retail store. and then with Cats and Dogs you could run a vet place, and with Dine out you could run a restaurant. And I'm pretty sure ladders came with Island Living.
Hiiii I hope everyone is having a good day! 🧡
Clare not mentioning Makoa in her reasons for ranking Island Living under Need it was kind of disappointing. Let’s face it, without it he would not be in the game and not be apart of so many 100 baby challenges 😉
I know that you've used little ms sam's mods in the past, because you're how I found them. But SO many of the bugs you talk about can be fixed with her mods and zero sims 4 mods. I don't even remember all of the annoying bugs because they've been fixed for so long by mods in my game. Bless the modders.
SAME. Lil Ms Sam is a godsend
My favorite thing about clares opinion is it’s purely based of aesthetic 🤣❤️
You hit the nail on the head with the pets pack. I was so excited for it but I never actually use it
I was soo hoping for this, I'm glad. I get to know which i should buy recommended by many people!
Yes I needed this! I’m finally buying the sims 4 and a few packs after watching your videos for years! Thank you so much💕💕 Love you!
I love you so much I've been watching you for years your my favourite RUclips and I agree shrimping over some is iconic. Love you and your vivids
This is not anything to do with this vid but.. Idk if this a real challenge but I have started doing a box house challenge.. you make a box 6 by 5 and u out all the necessities. U have to get a job of your choice and you have to build up you house (potentially a family) and I am doing it until my main sim is DEAD. I think Clare might like it as it is a grind.. and let’s just say she has made it clear she likes grinds!
Clare should do a video ranking all her series
I refused to buy Batuu or any of the kits except maybe one kit. I use cc clothes, so the retro athletic stuff wouldn't be used at all
Clare, have you ever considered doing a Vampire game play based on "What We Do In The Shadows"?
Love your videos Clare❤ you make my day
I play university in every generation, I just hate dorms lol and half of the packs needs a mod to fix it
Been waiting for this video for ages!!
I get why people don’t like Strangerville, but I love that you love it too. I play with supernatural Sims, so that was one of the few packs I actually got right after release.
I don’t know all my own ratings by any means, but talking about Kids Room Stuff, I actually highly recommend it for extra gameplay! Idk, kids activities have bored me for so long, so buying that pack made their life stage a little more enjoyable.
100% agree
I do love the battle monsters lol, especially once I got a mod to let adults play too
omg i didn’t know there was a mod for that. glad i found this comment ig i’m gonna go hunt down the mod now
This could NOT have come at a better time. All the packs are on sale, so a couple days ago I was debating what packs to get. I decided on cottage living and nifty knitting. Thanks Clare!
clare : so we didnt get a single world with get to work
Magnolia Promenade : ... im i a joke to you
Claire running your business came with get to work and the new wold magnolia promenade
I’ve been waiting for this one ☝️
Why dose nobody talk about the detail in the vapmire world? That pack is by far one of the most detailed packs I've seen
Horses are a must for me. Still waiting.... Riding and pulling buggies, caring for them. I agree 100% that pets need more "personality" in Sims 4. They sure do IRL! Automobiles, motorcycles, and buggies in open World!!! My favorite part of Sims 3 was following my Sims around exploring the World they were in.
I think you gave a GREAT assessment of Sims 4 compilations. You mentioned not only the items, but the game play and who might be interested in them, even if it wasn't your "cup of tea." Thanks for the video. Exceptionally informative when one is thinking about what is needed, what might be useful and what can wait or disregarded altogether!
Thanks again! Going to check out Deligracy's channel now. She's another Sim You Tuber I respect and enjoy her videos.
Clare:puts Jungle Adventure in Meh
Me:But But... Clare you baby's! ( Favorite Hanging vines)
I gotta tell ya, Clare. I only found you a little bit ago, but I am so glad I did! I would have ranked everything the same as you. I also love the story telling aspects of Sims the most. I actually play Strangerville a couple of times different ways just because I love it, too.
I have waited for this video for so freaking long omg
I completely agree on Island Living pack. Even thought mermaids are boring, the world and everything else that comes with the pack is just amazing. There is one more thing I think they should have included. As they introduced off the grid lots (awesome!), they should have included solar panels and water collectors with this pack not Eco living.
Hey Clare. I'm pretty sure you know this but you forgot dream home decorator and courtyard oasis. But thank you for finally making one of these
100% Agree with the pets one but I do love it because it gives you pets which i loooove x
It sucks when you see RUclipsrs doing it, and you want to do it, but you don’t have the money to buy the rest of the packs you need to rank them all.
I only buy packs when they are on sale because i’m not made off money and my ps4 is also going to be a plane in the end because of all these packs
love you clare!!!!!
Clare: their all special. Except my first pet stuff. I’m looking at you!
James: BIT RUDE
