      @JaelBreton 9 лет назад +19

      Of course people can voice their opinions. The problem is when people take it too far and say it in such rude ways. Feedback and criticism is always welcome as long as it doesn't disrespect or insults others. People like to talk as if they know what goes on behind the scenes to animate and create this type of work. As a designer myself, I know how long it takes just to do one small detail. It takes time. And many times with these companies they don't give them enough time to do everything they can to make the game perfect so they send pieces at a time and charge full price for each. And many times great ideas aren't used or implemented because of time and budget reasons.

  • @nugsboodlepoo

    I think this is the best pack sims 4 has put out by far. It has twice as much content as other Sims 4 expansions. I loved rebuilding the hospital, police station, and laboratory and then actually getting to follow my Sims there to work. I wish more careers like this would have been added as more expansions came out.
    I've had a lot of fun with retail stores over the years. I've made antique shops, clothing stores, hand-made furniture stores, bakeries, flower shops, and when Realm of Magic came out I made a magic shop. You can get really creative because you can sell anything and creativity is so essential with sandbox games. I also loved the Astronaut career and I was totally shocked the first time I discovered Sixam.

      +Kitty Plays Minecraft I could actually see this as a university expansion. Personally, the ones I'm hoping/waiting for are a university one, a generations one, and a seasons one.
      That, and I kinda want a night life one, but more specifically, I want one that adds a downtown neighborhood, that functions like a rather small version of an open world, where you can walk freely between 5 or 6 large venues at a time. I'm talking like, large night clubs like dance clubs and such, plazas, spas, restaurants, etc. Something that would be nice to include are outdoor activities and party areas in those areas, like the plazas I mentioned.

      Lazy Game Reviews EA use to make good expansions. Sims 2 expansions were amazing. We use to expect the best from them. Now we can't even expect the basics from these sims guru fools. Sims franchise needs competition ASAP! The team that brought us city skylines should make a life simulation game. It would put the current sims team to SHAME.

    • @nlks100
      @nlks100 9 лет назад +9

      Untrustedlife Yeah lets just praise EA and give them all our money for making a game that can't even compete with sims 2. Keep eating up their flop 4 vomit. They are killing the franchise with their laziness and lack of talent and you are just providing them with money and incentive to continue doing so.
      I honesty cannot think of a SINGLE game franchise where the team can JUSTIFY releasing a game that lacks mechanics that were fully coded and functional in a game they released a decade ago. These guru fools can't even code a door locking mechanism. I mean seriously...don't even try to give us the excuse that it is difficult to code. It is their fault that they chose an engine that is difficult to code. Stop trying to cover up the fact that you have no talent or ability to code.
      You'd think after the sims 3 coding disaster, they would have learned from their mistakes. BUT NO these high school dropout gurus continue to provide hilarious fails for our entertainment. Just when you thought the "gurus" couldn't mess it up anymore, they surprise us with fails that flop harder than a whale falling into the ocean from an airplane.

    Unfortunately I was one of the people that didn't have much of a desire to see my sim at work, and never really played with Open for business or the interactive work in Ambitions, so sims 4 is still "meh" for me. Now if they release a generations-esque pack with toddlers, better life stages,open schools and a shit ton of items for everyone, the sting of betrayal may yet be soothed. As someone who plays with big families on 90% of my saves, I'm still very pissed about that. I want the privilege of hiring a nanny so I can ignore the brats dammit!
    I do like baking though, so bonus. The only stores I opened with Open for Business sims 2 and in sims 3 were home bakeries. Are there home businesses with this one?

    • @LGR
      @LGR  9 лет назад +8

      jarmakey1 There are no home business, to my knowledge. You need a cash register to open a business, and that's only available if the lot is marked as a "retail lot". My understanding is that the way around this is to build home items on the retail lot and just live there, but you'll still be technically living away from home. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

    • @kaycees.9613
      @kaycees.9613 9 лет назад +6

      Lazy Game Reviews That is correct :) The only issue right now is the fact we don't have lockable doors yet and customers can roam around and end up watching your TV and what not in your "home" area. And if you have other Sims in your family they won't automatically come to the retail lot when they get home from work/school/etc. They will go to whatever home lot you have. I plan on having my Sim live at their store to make things easier on myself,so I am going to move her to a empty lot. I'm doing this because you'll still get bills even if you are living on your retail lot full time that would need to be paid by going to the home lot but if you don't have a house on the lot,who cares if the power and water get shut off :P

    Anyone remember the premade family in Sims 2 (I think it was 2 brothers?), and it was set up so that as soon as you start playing their house, one of them gets abducted by aliens? He came back pregnant, and I did not want an alien baby so I just facerolled a name (which wasn't much of a faceroll, I guess, since it came out as "Alala"). At first, I was about to let child services come take her. But I got weirdly attached to her, and eventually she had a family of her own.
    And then my computer died, and I lost allll my families. Yes, over 10 years later I'm still upset by this memory. lol

    So just to clarify...
    1. Just the NEW jobs get to GTW right?
    2. Scientists get to go to other worlds...NOT Astronauts?
    3. Detectives travel around to do their 'work'. So this becomes a loading-screen-fest right?
    Thanx in advance.

    • @LGR
      @LGR  9 лет назад +63

      Jimboola 1. Yes. "Active careers" do what I described they did in the video :)
      2. Scientists can, astronauts can, anyone can.
      3. It does indeed become a loading screen-fest. Again, as I mentioned in the video it really exacerbates that problem.

    The game lacks a sense of warmth and fun and creativity. The Sims 4 would be a GREAT addition had it looked and felt familiar. It has this Happy-Go-Lucky Stepford Wives feel that makes my skin crawl, and also makes me a bit angry because there isnt a sense of normalcy mixed in with the craziness. It lacks the sense of realism we would think the game would implement by now. Even the soundtrack is lacking....

      I'm doing the same. I'm not getting either the base game or any expansions until there's a fairly inexpensive pack deal available. It's ridiculous that these expansions cost almost as much as the base game but don't provide even 1/10th the content, most of which was in the previous Sims games expansion packs anyway.

    • @OdaSwifteye
      @OdaSwifteye 9 лет назад +10

      The key is to get the combo deal. Get both the base and the expansion of your favorite for half the price of the single copy of either.
      You'll be waiting for awhile but it's worth the wait. Any smart purchase is worth the wait.

      Like I said, you wait for the price to drop and for combo deals to arrive. That way you get a two for one deal. It doesn't matter who it's for if you want to save money that's what you do.

    I really liked this expansion pack but felt that the retail side of it was really lame and boring. It takes way to long for sims to buy things and even longer to check them out. Employees basically do nothing even if I hired the more expensive ones. They advertised bakery but sims can not even eat the baked goods in my bakery! I thought I was going to enjoy the retail side of this pack more but I ended up loving the other three careers way more

Sims 4 expansions are nowhere near worth the price; at least wow expansions gave you plenty to do... mostly because they fit in with the base game and the base game, itself, was good, sims 4 base game was not good and all the expansion packs don't really play well with each other, it seems.

    • @ImmaPandaRawr
      @ImmaPandaRawr 9 лет назад +10

      ***** I agree I hate all the loading screens. They had better options then what they gave us if they didn't want to do completely open world. They divided the neighborhood up into sections. They could have at least made those sections "open" and only used loading screens when you traveled to different parts/sections of the town. So in your section you could walk to your neighbors house without a loading screen but if you wanted to travel to the gym then you might get a loading screen. It would help give the illusions of open world without overwhelming older pc's. A compromise. But they didn't even do that much : /

    How come this is the only pack that feels like an actual expansion?

      This and Get Together are still my favorite expansions (well I love Seasons too, but that's such a core feature that's always bound to make for a good expansion no matter the iteration).

      It doesnt feel like one to me because of the fact that it only introduces 3 new jobs and 1 where you can sell clothes . Sims 3 ambitions gave you about 8 new careers and even gave you a nice world with the lots of new objects and traits 🤷🏽‍♀️

      To me Get to Work feels more like a game pack. Adds some fun gameplay to discover at first but runs out dry very quickly. And Magnolia Promenade is garbage. They should honestly regrade GTW to game pack price from now on.

    I've been watching this channel for a long time now, but this is definitely the time when I've felt the video helped me immensely. Saw the huge Origin 60% sale and GTW is $19.99 as of this comment instead of the whopping $39.99, but wasn't sure if it would be worth it to deal with the hassle of controlling the aliens or not. But looking at how much this adds helped me make that decision and add the occult extension to the command center mod

    The careers are just doing the same grindy things over and over until you reach level 10. The promotions are pretty much pointless and have 0 impact in the gameplay, it's not like you can jail random sims as a cop (and the ones you actually put in prison are gone by the next time you go to work), fire others when you have a higher rank, or indirectly murder sims with misdiagnosis as a doctor (they just pass out). You can't even do plastic surgery either.
    I feel like this expansion was a missed opportunity, but then again I never expected much from this game and that's why I'm playing this 8 years late.
