I totally agree. I think weather should have come with base game. The holidays (including spooky day and all the spooky day stuff), and a world should have come in "seasons" (and maybe festivals)
as someone whos played the sims since day 1 i fully agree. weather should have been in base game, even if it was just rain and heat, if they really wanted to be stingy about snow then whatever, but come on! A simulation game but every single day is sunny is just not realistic. And they really need to fix the rain in seasons because it rlly does rain too much
@@felicitycoffin2915 Yessss! I made seasons be like 14 days, and like the first 7 days of summer were okay with some rain and some sun, but the other 7 days now have just been thunderstorms and rain and it’s annoying because I want my sims to enjoy summer but noo….
Lol I feel you. Seeing red just instinctively makes me think of danger or caution. Or even the word Emergency. It would make far more sense to me if the colour grading was reversed as well.
@@riverd5698 yeah, if you had to think about a colour for safety or positivity and a colour for danger or negativity most people would probably agree^^
@@acciomegapint2373 Yup even in the game, in the Needs bar, red is always the breaking point and we try so hard to make sure the needs are all uniformly green.
I'm not the only one! It bothers me so much!! Luckily, if you go to make your own on the website, you can change the colors and the titles for each rank!
I have the free pack, tiny living, parenthood, city living, seasons and eco lifestyle and they’re all on the top. Now I just need cottage living and cats and dogs😂
Get together has such great BB items. I love the columns and the wood tones. Everything is matching and it's beautiful for older houses. One of my favourite packs for sure.
@@athenerojas2505 and even tho EA builds are terrible, Windenburg definitely wasn't as bad as e.g. Del Sol Valley or Glimmerbrook. They were the lowest of the low.
Same! I couldn't build without this pack. The windows are my favourite! And the low lying fence that looks like a strip. So good for making showers and separating the kitchen in open plan. Most underrated pack for sure! Use it in ALL my builds!
Get together is my favorite pack! Everyone complains about prices of packs (myself too with certain ones) but get together is the one pack you can’t complain about price wise. No other pack can compare to the content get together gave us.
It's hard because they don't give you a notification unlike the other festivals 😔😔 it does makes sense cause it's more of a lowkey event and it kinda makes it more special if you do get to experience one
Sulani is my favorite world to live in, but they definitely don't promote it's events enough. I'm always missing the culture events because I never have my sims live in that neighborhood. I do think I get a small notification for the turtles though if I'm in the world.
I think get famous would have been loved by everyone if it was a game pack. I don’t think it quite gives enough content to validate an expansion, maybe if it included more careers like singer, model. And further developed celebrities with gossip and magazines etc.
To be honest though, people rank it by “only 1 career” but Get To Work “had 3 careers” so Get Famous is lacking. But anyone (like Deli) who’s played Get Famous, knows the active career in that is so detailed, so huge, and is just feels like the new content doesn’t stop. It’s pretty much the size of all 3 active careers in Get To Work, this is one of the biggest Expansions. The issue is, if you don’t play much with the acting career, it’s going to feel small. But I don’t think shoving more careers in this pack would have done it any favours, the acting career would have been stripped back so much because of it. And it’s easily the best active career EA have ever done.
Deli, this is SUCH an useful type of video. And you are completely right, it has to be updated every once in a while. I currently have three friend who bought the base game in the last six months and they usually ask me for recommendations on which DLC to buy. This video is a great resource I can send them, so that they get a quick introduction to what comes with the DLC and how well you think it performs! Another video of yours I really love is the one where you did the community vote on the best packs and compared it to your own ranking. About the packs themselves, I am still in love with Cottage Living. I even started playing Stardew Valley because of it, that's how much into farming I've become. I don't know when the hype is going to end for me. 😂
I agree, Get Famous doesn't get enough appreciation, I LOVE this pack! I love the famous system, the video station and drones, the acting career, and I constantly use CAS&BB items from this pack! I can agree that the world is pretty small and disappointing but other than that, I think it's a great pack!
I think people really underestimate Spa Day and I'll be so glad if it is the pack that's getting a refresh. Yoga, meditation and the spa baths are so useful for mood changes! PS. Where would you put dream home decorator?
Yes! Especially when it was newer out, I used to constantly use yoga mats and incense burners. This is reminding me to add incense burners to all my builds again! Essential for getting doing high quality creative stuff, I find "inspired" gets overpowered easily.
I mostly agree with you on your ranks, except I'd put laundry lower just because it is so bugged! and cottage living is far and beyond my very favorite of all time in Sims!
Aww I loved paranormal stuff! Even if you aren’t into the actual paranormal elements of the game it comes with some amazing build and buy items and CAS items. It also came with a new career and lot type. I think you get bang for your buck with paranormal stuff
Dine out works...I go to restaurants in game and it forks just fine. I had my own restaurant once, again it worked as it should...only weird thing was my waiter going outside but the waiters still did their job(they would go back in to do the job) What happened is it was very bugy but no one really tried to play it later...
Not everyone gets all the bugs. In my game, I can't go to restaurants because the food takes literally 12 hours to show up but I can run a restaurant fine. For many people, they can't use it at all.
I don't hate it but I just hate the outfit copying, I played with that feature once and the celebrity died but people in my world are still changing into the outfit 🤦
Get famous was a solid pack to me. I really enjoy del sol valley with all the big lots in it. Too bad they did Judith ward dirty with the literal rectangle of a house 😂
"Sleepy Hollow is a small world because it came with a gamepack" Strangerville cannot relate. I did not count the lots but it can't have less than Del Soll Valley.
Your Get Famous Let's Play was what got me hooked on your channel, Deli!! I also really loved that pack, I felt like there was a great balance between added gameplay and unique/staple build and buy items! I use the Get Famous mid-century modern furniture alllll the time!
I always always purchase ‘Waterproof’ from the rewards store. It’s also on the cheap side (I think it’s about 500 aspiration points?). It’s such a useful one to buy coz your Sims no longer feel uncomfortable about being out in the rain. I especially buy it for all my sims in Brindleton Bay coz I love living there but I think it rains the most in that world compared to other worlds.
@@riverd5698 came here to say this, it's a must-get for all my outdoorsy Sims. I used to always get heat and cold acclimation too, they're not too many points either, but the Sims don't seem to be as heat and cold sensitive as they used to be?
@@Franklyfrankie I did purchase heat and cold acclimation to try it out but yeah, unless they’re out in the summer sun/winter snow for too long, it doesn’t make much of a difference (I’d still get them if the sim’s main hobby is fishing tho, coz it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get one fish). Waterproof is totally useful coz sims get uncomfortable if they get exposed to rain for even ten minutes sometimes lol
tbh... just for me.... get to work added so much content than most packs which kinda make your simple base game more interesting... probably because of it's many perspective for you to try on... and then there's season which give the game that liveliness vibe... well.... any packs that gives more functionality to the everyday living of a sim are a good pack for me🤣
Right!! I only have the base game and feel like it gets soo boring, meh Like, your aims go to school/work and you do nothing Because of that I always have in a family at least one Sim working from home, working on their skills, and stuf ._.
She had to use the base game icon to even portray Cottage Living. The place where she got the list hasn't been updated in quite a while. I'm surprised it had Paranormal.
I unabashedly love Outdoor Retreat and Jungle Adventure. I’ve spent hours playing with the vacation worlds and all the skills that came with them. Finding all the collectibles is such a welcome challenge in a game that’s pretty easy. That being said, I think that every world in the Sims 4 (except for Windenburg) can do with more lots.
Just got into the sims and I’m watching a bunch of these pack ranking videos. Thank you so much for describing the pack a bit and showing the world as well!
I really like Spa day. I think I've taken my sims to the spa like once but I like the yoga and meditation items that can be done at home. City living is a good alternative if you want to get your sims to go on dates but don't like the bugs because there's the food carts that you can visit in the world and that's like a date.
I have to say, this is the most useful ranking I've ever seen. I'm kinda new and wanted to get more packs and it's so useful not just saying if you like then but really explaining what they are. Love it!
Me neither as i understood u would be able to follow the sims to class but i couldn't do that. Everything you did was basiclly being in a dorm which u couldn't decorate and just did ur studies, while the sims felt bad for sure. I am so disappointed
I play Uni for every generation but not on campus. If you live at home sims actually get to class in time. I love the time management challenge it has. And the outcome is varied in terms of grades. Very realistic. But I just finished my second Masters degree, so evidently I can’t get enough of uni
Can you make a video about what packs you think should be bundled?? Make bundles with at least one expansion on game pack and one stuff pack, but feel free to put up to 2 games packs and 3 stuff packs. Also don't forget to put the kits in bundles too.
I don't get why so many find Spa Day "meh". It was one of the first game packs I bought and I use the modern furniture that came with it a lot. I mean, it gave us countertops! Not to mention that when you get high up on the wellness skill (which is pretty easy) your sim can teleport! I just find it very useful as a quick way to get them somewhere. 😏
I really liked that you said what came with the pack, that makes it easier to imagine if I would buy the pack myself and understand why you might have ranked the pack that way.
@@acciomegapint2373 yeah but the acting,video station and reputition was really good plus you can live somewhere else.The build mode items are for experience houses
@@makanakangoshi6298 yes, but for me getting a pack that doesn't have that good of a world, lots, etc, and just buying it for the acting career and the video station (the only two things that I actually find interesting and would probably use) doesn't seem worth it
@@makanakangoshi6298 I do like the pack and the world is looking stunning when you're playing. It's just disappointing when you look at the map. I love the view from the celebrity houses, it's incredible but the buildings are terrible. Especially Judith Ward's home is ridiculous lmao.
At this point I have almost everything, aside from Batuu, Wedding Stories and a few kits but this video was SO helpful when shopping sales and trying to decide what I wanted. RUclips just told me to rewatch it so I totally did
Spa day is the first pack I ever bought and in my world is “need it.” I never go to the spa (although I love going to the Korean women’s spa in real life). I get a massage table at home and hire a therapist, and use the baths to get super long lasting moodlets!
university is objectively just okay but if you asked me when it came out i would've called it my favourite pack because it came out during my first year of university, and i was really excited that ubrite and foxbury were so similar to my uni and our rival (we're green and gold and have older buildings, rival is red and gold and is more modern) and it was just so fun to have my sims go to uni too (although my sims didn't have a mental breakdown and a pandemic)
If I didn’t have any packs at all I would get one from each category. These would be the one’s I’d choose. Expansion Pack - Seasons Game Pack - Dream Home Decorator Stuff Pack - Tiny Living Kit - Country Kitchen Good luck on choosing lol
After the competition kept my chicken in cottage living, I refuse to do it again. Still play the pack since its one of my favorites but I wont loose another chicken to that crazy woman.
Having all the packs currently, I have to say each pack has its pros and cons. There is probably only one pack that I don't really use at all and that's My First Pet (purchased that one when it was on a massive sale). Most packs I use mainly for the Create-a-Sim and Build/Buy rather than actual gameplay. I do use the gameplay, especially when it's kind of like there (like holidays, eco lifestyle, etc), but I'm less likely to go out of my way to utilize each new gameplay feature on a regular basis. I know I'm not getting the full usages out of the packs, but I don't mind (especially since I rarely purchase the packs at full price). I would like to see more vacation worlds - World Adventures from Sims 3 was by far my favorite pack... I especially loved all of the artifacts and gemstones you could collect (my sims always tried to have every stone in every cut possible). They kind of added a condensed version of that with Jungle Adventures and I guess now with Journey to Batuu, but I would like to have seen more of that puzzle type gameplay (like with Jungle Adventure).
The robotic skill in TS4:DU is the most underrated thing. There's so many things we can craft like drones, robot suits, tiny robots, and etc. Also did you forget DHD and Courtyard Kit?
@@gtheleo1134 agreed , i wouldn’t mind if they put seasons in basegame and give simmers who brought seasons a chance to get a free expansion pack or just a refund
Yes! Finally someone who doesn't hate Get Famous. It's literally my favourite pack which I use all the time, it was Deli's let's play that actually inspired me to get it!
There are the most beautiful marble floor tiles in Dine Out, it’s such a shame the pack is so bugged that nobody wants to buy it. The tiles are so beautiful, I promise! 🥺
@@Franklyfrankie totally understand people’s frustration with Dine Out but at least all the items work which almost makes up for it. Luxury party comes with like 8 build and buy items and a few CAS so not worth the money in my opinion, least with dine out even if the restaurant aspect doesn’t work you still get other things like the cooking station, gourmet food etc.
@@isabellelloyd538 I mean, fair enough - Luxury Party is one of only 4 packs (not including kits) that I don't own for that reason. But Dine Out is double the price, it's not a direct comparison.
I feel like the celebrities just interrupt the game too much. I don't like how exaggerated Sims act around celebrities. I also hate when people just faint at my feet when I'm a 2 star celebrity after writing a few books. I love the reputation system though.
People say there's not much in island living, but it was my only pack for several months, and I didn't get bored. It was also my first pack so it had a soft spot in my heart
What Seasons means to me is that it will rain and thunder in your game about 90% of the time now. Somehow the tuning is way off. I am happier since I disabled thunderstorms.
I was really disappointed by it actually! Lots of the furniture has buggy lighting at least in my game and I found the career a bit meh. I bought it on sale and still didn't really feel it was worth it. The kitchens are beautiful though.
Love dream home decorator but would love it SO much more if they’d do a dang patch for it. Every patch that passes by with no fixes to it makes me so angry. Half the gigs are not doable without cheats. That said I love playing it, just haven’t been able to get the full gameplay of it yet due to the bugs
Really loved how in depth you did this video!! Showing us the world's, explaining the smaller things you get in every pack was so helpful! Thankyou Deli 💖
I'm just starting to play Sims 4 and this list is helpful for when I'm ready to get some packs. Those prices and the amount of packs available though 😬
My favorite pack is really the tiny house one. I love how it boosts my Sims, and it's fun to design outdoor living around it so that you can keep having tons of perks but still have a lavish house! :D I've starting recording my gameplays, though I am a no-commentary girl. It's a fun way for me to relax and share with others. So I've totally made a tiny house (and left that nasty appartment I had, yuck with the cockroaches already!)
Definitely my least favorite is Get Together. I regret buying it 😭 and also Vimpires doesn’t convince me 🤔 but I absolutely agree with you regarding most of the pack, especially city living, seasons, cats and dogs and get famous! I also love Discover university!
with packs with occults, I would buy them just for the occult (except Alien that one is a bit too weird for me XD) but that's my personal preference ^^
i've always been so disappointed with dine out because i LOVE the idea of it, but when I played it with my friend, our sims would meet for dinner at 6pm and not get their food until 1am, so they'd be home at 4am and still have to go to work. I think the next packs I'm going to get are cats & dogs and strangerville :)
we've got a european pack, a tropical pack, a brittish pack, plenty of stuff that's typically american including a hollywood pack, a south american pack, a japanese pack, makes you wonder when we're getting an australian pack.
One of the recent-past updates changed the amount of time it takes a sim to eat, so maybe that change will improve Dine Out's performance a little. It wasn't until 2 weeks ago that I ever really noticed issues. Like the chef standing around and not running to the stove right away. Or if I made it through dinner, all would pop out of their seat at the same time before I could end the meal and pay the bill. I was able to click on the Chef and do a debug reset and he went to his stove, but the weird endings I can do nothing about. I enjoy this pack and it sucks to see it ranked so low, but I can sure understand why.
I love the fitness stuff pack, and I don't understand why people hate on it so much. I mean, yeah, the climbing wall is big, but it's supposed to go in a gym, not in your house. And the earbuds are actually really useful for increasing your fun need while your sim is doing other things. Plus, it comes with some great items for modern builds.
Were the yoga mats in Spa Day? Because all my Sims use those and it's one of my favorite ways to have them stay in shape. I also like some of the bathroom items that came with the spa pack. Being able to take different kinds of baths to ease muscle aches or get flirty is also good.
Do the yoga mats help with fitness/keeping your sim from changing shape after eating too many cakes? I don’t understand the difference between wellness and fitness!
@@zombellie Yes, definitely. Using them counts toward the wellness skill instead of the fitness skill, but your Sim will stay slimmer and develop muscles from doing yoga. At least mine all have.
FINALLY DELI DID THIS VIDEO AGAIN!!! I've been waiting since a lot of other simstuber made the updated version of this and I love them but I think my style definitely matches better with yours. Thank youu, keep up the good work!
My friends told me to get sims 4 and I said until they had some seasons are where you can celebrate holidays and then they came out with one that is my favorite and best pack in my opinion
I miss Sims 3: World Adventures. It was the only pack I ever had for Sims 3. I made it my Sim's goal to discover all six pyramids and it took me weeks to even get through one of them. There was so much to do and it was a real challenge. I loved it! I bought the camping pack from Sims 4 and hoped to get something like World Adventures, but I got bored really quickly, sadly.
I agree with everything except paranormal. I dont really play the actual paranormal stuff, but the build and buy and CAS is pretty good! Should be at least "okay" tier
I REALLY WANT COTTAGE LIVING, you mentioning its like Stardew Valley made me want it more… (also I am coincidentally drawing a Stardew Valley fanart while watching :D)
@@jessicawilliams-emmett3463 definitely seasons and parenthood! i think i was so stuck on those for a while and this gave me validation 😂 also the bust the dust kit!
@@deeonnaaxo Yess!! Parenthood defs my top pick for family style game play and seasons also has nice items haha Dont have dust one yet cos idk if i always wana vaccum haha
Omg I love island living! Sulani is my fav world because it’s just so gorgeous, though I get what you’re saying about gameplay being limited. I think it’s worth it alone for the world
I will never forgive Ea and The Sims for monetising the weather in a life simulation game 💀
I totally agree. I think weather should have come with base game. The holidays (including spooky day and all the spooky day stuff), and a world should have come in "seasons" (and maybe festivals)
as someone whos played the sims since day 1 i fully agree. weather should have been in base game, even if it was just rain and heat, if they really wanted to be stingy about snow then whatever, but come on!

I guess that is when mods come in handy, but I’m so tired of downloading endless mods….
it's discomforting how the good packs have the red icon and the "bad" packs have the green one. my brain cannot handle this confusion haha.
Lol I feel you. Seeing red just instinctively makes me think of danger or caution. Or even the word Emergency. It would make far more sense to me if the colour grading was reversed as well.

Get together has such great BB items. I love the columns and the wood tones. Everything is matching and it's beautiful for older houses. One of my favourite packs for sure.
i know it’s my second fav after seasons it’s doesnt get enough credit
It also has soo many lots to build on! I wish other worlds were like Windenburg!
@@athenerojas2505 and even tho EA builds are terrible, Windenburg definitely wasn't as bad as e.g. Del Sol Valley or Glimmerbrook. They were the lowest of the low.

It's hard because they don't give you a notification unlike the other festivals 😔😔 it does makes sense cause it's more of a lowkey event and it kinda makes it more special if you do get to experience one

Sulani is my favorite world to live in, but they definitely don't promote it's events enough. I'm always missing the culture events because I never have my sims live in that neighborhood. I do think I get a small notification for the turtles though if I'm in the world.
i always get a notification for the turtle hatching 🤔
I appreciate deli explaining what each pack has. With this many packs, I forget that resident keys are not base game. Thanks deli for the video
I believe deli said that it comes with get famous but I think it comes with city living.
@@Miguel__1 yes but with city living you can only give other sims apartment key, not house keys, i think the house key option came with get famous
@@breadenthusiast2590 i'm able to give house keys and I dont have get famous so im not sure.
@@Miguel__1 lmao maybe i'm just dumb then bc i don't have get famous either and ive only seen the option when my sim was living in san myshunob
I really wish Snowy Escape came with a snowboarding career
yes or at least a part-time job as skiing/snowboarding instructor
same bc i’m a snowboarder irl and i was rly looking forward to being a pro snowboarder in the game
the fact that it didnt blows my mind
I think get famous would have been loved by everyone if it was a game pack. I don’t think it quite gives enough content to validate an expansion, maybe if it included more careers like singer, model. And further developed celebrities with gossip and magazines etc.
you can become a famous street singer if you have City Living :)
You can say the same thing about Snowy Escape honestly.
To be honest though, people rank it by “only 1 career” but Get To Work “had 3 careers” so Get Famous is lacking. But anyone (like Deli) who’s played Get Famous, knows the active career in that is so detailed, so huge, and is just feels like the new content doesn’t stop. It’s pretty much the size of all 3 active careers in Get To Work, this is one of the biggest Expansions. The issue is, if you don’t play much with the acting career, it’s going to feel small. But I don’t think shoving more careers in this pack would have done it any favours, the acting career would have been stripped back so much because of it. And it’s easily the best active career EA have ever done.
25:28
We have so many packs now that Deli calls Cool Kitchen “Ice Cream”
Is it just me who loves Spa Day? There's something satisfying about seeing your sim get pampered, it's like I can relax through them vicariously
Still my favorite pack to this day!

I like spa day too. Spa lots always make for a nice new destination for my sims and I always make them do yoga routines for some reason.
Who else binge watches these videos before buying a new pack haha 😂🙈
Recently bought parenthood and get together ❤️
Deli, you forgot Oasis Courtyard and Dreamhome Decorator!
Yes
I was like "wait did she made this vid when home decorator wasnt out?" That pack has the most essential build mode items imo
I mostly agree with you on your ranks, except I'd put laundry lower just because it is so bugged! and cottage living is far and beyond my very favorite of all time in Sims!
I couldn't even put washer and drier in any of my homes for months because they were always broke. I think they just recently fixed them.

You laughing and applauding your own joke on the shallow and deep waters pun had me laughing so much Deli! Definitely something I would do too 🤣🤣🤣
"Sleepy Hollow is a small world because it came with a gamepack"
Strangerville cannot relate.
I did not count the lots but it can't have less than Del Soll Valley.
I don't think any "vacation" pack will ever beat the sims 3 world adventures.
Making aliens apart of get to work was such a… weird choice.
I think they did it because scientists can go to the planet and meet aliens
I mean in ts3 they came with seasons!
Your Get Famous Let's Play was what got me hooked on your channel, Deli!! I also really loved that pack, I felt like there was a great balance between added gameplay and unique/staple build and buy items! I use the Get Famous mid-century modern furniture alllll the time!
22:42 Batu "This is not a pack most simmers will enjoy unless you're..."
Me: James?
"Into star wars"
I was just thinking about the other video you made about ranking the packs and then like 5 minutes later you posted a new one 😂💕
The first pack I got was seasons because everyone said it was essential, but it infuriates me because it's always raining and upsets my Sims
Well the calendar is what I liked this EP for. It's a base game feature now.
Also, if you're gardening, it makes a great difference.
I always always purchase ‘Waterproof’ from the rewards store. It’s also on the cheap side (I think it’s about 500 aspiration points?). It’s such a useful one to buy coz your Sims no longer feel uncomfortable about being out in the rain. I especially buy it for all my sims in Brindleton Bay coz I love living there but I think it rains the most in that world compared to other worlds.
@@riverd5698 came here to say this, it's a must-get for all my outdoorsy Sims. I used to always get heat and cold acclimation too, they're not too many points either, but the Sims don't seem to be as heat and cold sensitive as they used to be?
@@riverd5698 yess i always get the stormchaser trait for my sims because it's so annoying when they get scared every time there's a thunderstorm
@@Franklyfrankie I did purchase heat and cold acclimation to try it out but yeah, unless they’re out in the summer sun/winter snow for too long, it doesn’t make much of a difference (I’d still get them if the sim’s main hobby is fishing tho, coz it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get one fish). Waterproof is totally useful coz sims get uncomfortable if they get exposed to rain for even ten minutes sometimes lol
tbh... just for me.... get to work added so much content than most packs which kinda make your simple base game more interesting... probably because of it's many perspective for you to try on... and then there's season which give the game that liveliness vibe... well.... any packs that gives more functionality to the everyday living of a sim are a good pack for me🤣
Right!! I only have the base game and feel like it gets soo boring, meh
Like, your aims go to school/work and you do nothing
Because of that I always have in a family at least one Sim working from home, working on their skills, and stuf ._.
Where is the Morrocon kit? Would’ve loved to know how you stand on integrating culture into a kit
dream home decorator was also missing :)
She had to use the base game icon to even portray Cottage Living. The place where she got the list hasn't been updated in quite a while. I'm surprised it had Paranormal.
I unabashedly love Outdoor Retreat and Jungle Adventure. I’ve spent hours playing with the vacation worlds and all the skills that came with them. Finding all the collectibles is such a welcome challenge in a game that’s pretty easy. That being said, I think that every world in the Sims 4 (except for Windenburg) can do with more lots.
Just got into the sims and I’m watching a bunch of these pack ranking videos. Thank you so much for describing the pack a bit and showing the world as well!
Looking back, the first stuff packs were so strange! Tiny living and Laundry Day are a big improvement
Challenge idea: you can only play with the packs you need.
I really like Spa day. I think I've taken my sims to the spa like once but I like the yoga and meditation items that can be done at home.
City living is a good alternative if you want to get your sims to go on dates but don't like the bugs because there's the food carts that you can visit in the world and that's like a date.
Thank you now I know that I NEED the family pack
Said it before, saying it again: I never saw the Star War series, but I still enjoyed the Batuu gameplay SO MUCH.
Also love My First Pet Stuff.
I have to say, this is the most useful ranking I've ever seen. I'm kinda new and wanted to get more packs and it's so useful not just saying if you like then but really explaining what they are. Love it!
Dine out is buggy but I still love it for some reason 😂
I love the items that come with it and I use it pretty much all the time when I don’t restrict packs for my builds. The build/buy catalogue is fire.
Haha omg I just hate that it takes like 8 hours to go out to dinner 😂
I really disliked Discover University. After playing it through once, I haven't touched the world, gameplay or much of the build/buy objects.
Ngl I cussed so much on Foxbury campus. Never going back again.
Me neither as i understood u would be able to follow the sims to class but i couldn't do that. Everything you did was basiclly being in a dorm which u couldn't decorate and just did ur studies, while the sims felt bad for sure. I am so disappointed
I love the world, and I loved the secret society, but I have to agree, the abundance of rabbit holes got really dull.
I play Uni for every generation but not on campus. If you live at home sims actually get to class in time. I love the time management challenge it has. And the outcome is varied in terms of grades. Very realistic. But I just finished my second Masters degree, so evidently I can’t get enough of uni
Can you make a video about what packs you think should be bundled?? Make bundles with at least one expansion on game pack and one stuff pack, but feel free to put up to 2 games packs and 3 stuff packs. Also don't forget to put the kits in bundles too.
you say budden instead of button and its the cutest thing ever
Seasons is so weird...you shouldn't have to pay to have weather in your game lol
And dream home decorator and morrocon kits
I don't get why so many find Spa Day "meh". It was one of the first game packs I bought and I use the modern furniture that came with it a lot. I mean, it gave us countertops! Not to mention that when you get high up on the wellness skill (which is pretty easy) your sim can teleport! I just find it very useful as a quick way to get them somewhere. 😏
I really liked that you said what came with the pack, that makes it easier to imagine if I would buy the pack myself and understand why you might have ranked the pack that way.
Get Famous was the first pack I ever got because I watched your let's play and I love it 💕💕
Why is it so underrated??
probably because the world is very small and limited and it has some of the worst buildings.
@@acciomegapint2373 yeah but the acting,video station and reputition was really good plus you can live somewhere else.The build mode items are for experience houses
@@makanakangoshi6298 yes, but for me getting a pack that doesn't have that good of a world, lots, etc, and just buying it for the acting career and the video station (the only two things that I actually find interesting and would probably use) doesn't seem worth it
@@makanakangoshi6298 I do like the pack and the world is looking stunning when you're playing. It's just disappointing when you look at the map. I love the view from the celebrity houses, it's incredible but the buildings are terrible. Especially Judith Ward's home is ridiculous lmao.
@@acciomegapint2373 that's true but you can go to gallery and find one or renovate it which is good because that's one of the reasons I got the game
At this point I have almost everything, aside from Batuu, Wedding Stories and a few kits but this video was SO helpful when shopping sales and trying to decide what I wanted. RUclips just told me to rewatch it so I totally did
On Get Famous I just don’t like how you’ll see celebrities just casually walking around lol. That’s not realistic
Looking at you Judith and Brittany
Parenthood I'm sure many of us can agree is a must have!
As someone who builds a lot in the Sims, I love seeing Eco Lifestyle and Tiny Living high up there.
Dine out is actually one of my favorites, I hope they fix the bugs.
Spa day is the first pack I ever bought and in my world is “need it.” I never go to the spa (although I love going to the Korean women’s spa in real life). I get a massage table at home and hire a therapist, and use the baths to get super long lasting moodlets!
university is objectively just okay but if you asked me when it came out i would've called it my favourite pack because it came out during my first year of university, and i was really excited that ubrite and foxbury were so similar to my uni and our rival (we're green and gold and have older buildings, rival is red and gold and is more modern) and it was just so fun to have my sims go to uni too (although my sims didn't have a mental breakdown and a pandemic)
I play with Get Famous all the time and I really love this pack :)
ok, but when Deli said coffeeshop & i saw Get Together was on sale, i immediately opened Origin 🙃☕
Love love looove these ranking videos (even though I have all the packs). So interesting to hear your thoughts on all of the packs!
i was thinking of which packs i should first get for ts4 thanks for this waaa
If I didn’t have any packs at all I would get one from each category. These would be the one’s I’d choose.
Expansion Pack - Seasons
Game Pack - Dream Home Decorator
Stuff Pack - Tiny Living
Kit - Country Kitchen
Good luck on choosing lol
After the competition kept my chicken in cottage living, I refuse to do it again. Still play the pack since its one of my favorites but I wont loose another chicken to that crazy woman.
Having all the packs currently, I have to say each pack has its pros and cons. There is probably only one pack that I don't really use at all and that's My First Pet (purchased that one when it was on a massive sale). Most packs I use mainly for the Create-a-Sim and Build/Buy rather than actual gameplay. I do use the gameplay, especially when it's kind of like there (like holidays, eco lifestyle, etc), but I'm less likely to go out of my way to utilize each new gameplay feature on a regular basis. I know I'm not getting the full usages out of the packs, but I don't mind (especially since I rarely purchase the packs at full price). I would like to see more vacation worlds - World Adventures from Sims 3 was by far my favorite pack... I especially loved all of the artifacts and gemstones you could collect (my sims always tried to have every stone in every cut possible). They kind of added a condensed version of that with Jungle Adventures and I guess now with Journey to Batuu, but I would like to have seen more of that puzzle type gameplay (like with Jungle Adventure).
The robotic skill in TS4:DU is the most underrated thing. There's so many things we can craft like drones, robot suits, tiny robots, and etc.
Also did you forget DHD and Courtyard Kit?
The calendar is now basegame. I feel like Seasons really needs a refresh.
I feel like seasons should’ve just been basegame in itself because it’s definitely a need and I feel it’s the most important pack of them all.
@@gtheleo1134 agreed , i wouldn’t mind if they put seasons in basegame and give simmers who brought seasons a chance to get a free expansion pack or just a refund
Yes! Finally someone who doesn't hate Get Famous. It's literally my favourite pack which I use all the time, it was Deli's let's play that actually inspired me to get it!
There are the most beautiful marble floor tiles in Dine Out, it’s such a shame the pack is so bugged that nobody wants to buy it. The tiles are so beautiful, I promise! 🥺
Really want an update with Horse Ranch and everything
Okay but you can't just pick luxury party over dine out 😭
You can if Dine Out still doesn't work in your game!!
@@Franklyfrankie totally understand people’s frustration with Dine Out but at least all the items work which almost makes up for it. Luxury party comes with like 8 build and buy items and a few CAS so not worth the money in my opinion, least with dine out even if the restaurant aspect doesn’t work you still get other things like the cooking station, gourmet food etc.
@@isabellelloyd538 I mean, fair enough - Luxury Party is one of only 4 packs (not including kits) that I don't own for that reason. But Dine Out is double the price, it's not a direct comparison.
I feel like the celebrities just interrupt the game too much. I don't like how exaggerated Sims act around celebrities. I also hate when people just faint at my feet when I'm a 2 star celebrity after writing a few books. I love the reputation system though.
People say there's not much in island living, but it was my only pack for several months, and I didn't get bored. It was also my first pack so it had a soft spot in my heart
What Seasons means to me is that it will rain and thunder in your game about 90% of the time now. Somehow the tuning is way off. I am happier since I disabled thunderstorms.
Oh no, you forgot the dream home decorator pack! Which I would definitely put in YOU NEED IT rank!
I was really disappointed by it actually! Lots of the furniture has buggy lighting at least in my game and I found the career a bit meh. I bought it on sale and still didn't really feel it was worth it. The kitchens are beautiful though.
Love dream home decorator but would love it SO much more if they’d do a dang patch for it. Every patch that passes by with no fixes to it makes me so angry. Half the gigs are not doable without cheats. That said I love playing it, just haven’t been able to get the full gameplay of it yet due to the bugs
for the build and buy mode?
Really loved how in depth you did this video!! Showing us the world's, explaining the smaller things you get in every pack was so helpful! Thankyou Deli 💖
I'm just starting to play Sims 4 and this list is helpful for when I'm ready to get some packs. Those prices and the amount of packs available though 😬
My favorite pack is really the tiny house one. I love how it boosts my Sims, and it's fun to design outdoor living around it so that you can keep having tons of perks but still have a lavish house! :D I've starting recording my gameplays, though I am a no-commentary girl. It's a fun way for me to relax and share with others. So I've totally made a tiny house (and left that nasty appartment I had, yuck with the cockroaches already!)
Definitely my least favorite is Get Together. I regret buying it 😭 and also Vimpires doesn’t convince me 🤔 but I absolutely agree with you regarding most of the pack, especially city living, seasons, cats and dogs and get famous! I also love Discover university!
really needed this for the 50% off sale haha
with packs with occults, I would buy them just for the occult (except Alien that one is a bit too weird for me XD) but that's my personal preference ^^
“which is interesting ‘cause it has some deep waters! good one deli!” i love her hahaha
i've always been so disappointed with dine out because i LOVE the idea of it, but when I played it with my friend, our sims would meet for dinner at 6pm and not get their food until 1am, so they'd be home at 4am and still have to go to work.
I think the next packs I'm going to get are cats & dogs and strangerville :)
Dream home decorator want there either aha
we've got a european pack, a tropical pack, a brittish pack, plenty of stuff that's typically american including a hollywood pack, a south american pack, a japanese pack, makes you wonder when we're getting an australian pack.
Perfect timing! I was getting ready to purchase a new pack! Is dream home decorator worth it?
Yesssss
I think you missed out Dream Home Decorater!
One of the recent-past updates changed the amount of time it takes a sim to eat, so maybe that change will improve Dine Out's performance a little. It wasn't until 2 weeks ago that I ever really noticed issues. Like the chef standing around and not running to the stove right away. Or if I made it through dinner, all would pop out of their seat at the same time before I could end the meal and pay the bill. I was able to click on the Chef and do a debug reset and he went to his stove, but the weird endings I can do nothing about. I enjoy this pack and it sucks to see it ranked so low, but I can sure understand why.
I love the fitness stuff pack, and I don't understand why people hate on it so much. I mean, yeah, the climbing wall is big, but it's supposed to go in a gym, not in your house. And the earbuds are actually really useful for increasing your fun need while your sim is doing other things. Plus, it comes with some great items for modern builds.
Were the yoga mats in Spa Day? Because all my Sims use those and it's one of my favorite ways to have them stay in shape. I also like some of the bathroom items that came with the spa pack. Being able to take different kinds of baths to ease muscle aches or get flirty is also good.
Do the yoga mats help with fitness/keeping your sim from changing shape after eating too many cakes? I don’t understand the difference between wellness and fitness!
@@zombellie Yes, definitely. Using them counts toward the wellness skill instead of the fitness skill, but your Sim will stay slimmer and develop muscles from doing yoga. At least mine all have.
FINALLY DELI DID THIS VIDEO AGAIN!!! I've been waiting since a lot of other simstuber made the updated version of this and I love them but I think my style definitely matches better with yours. Thank youu, keep up the good work!
My friends told me to get sims 4 and I said until they had some seasons are where you can celebrate holidays and then they came out with one that is my favorite and best pack in my opinion
I miss Sims 3: World Adventures. It was the only pack I ever had for Sims 3. I made it my Sim's goal to discover all six pyramids and it took me weeks to even get through one of them. There was so much to do and it was a real challenge. I loved it! I bought the camping pack from Sims 4 and hoped to get something like World Adventures, but I got bored really quickly, sadly.
I agree with everything except paranormal. I dont really play the actual paranormal stuff, but the build and buy and CAS is pretty good! Should be at least "okay" tier
Paranormal is top tier for me. I mean, I was lucky that mine isn't bugged, but even if I had some bugs in that pack I would love it!
Okay but you did paranormal dirty 😆💕
I REALLY WANT COTTAGE LIVING, you mentioning its like Stardew Valley made me want it more… (also I am coincidentally drawing a Stardew Valley fanart while watching :D)
I love Get Famous Del Sol Valley too. Totally with you on that one.
I just started playing sims 4 for the first time in a year I just all ways want to play sims now
Cats and dogs are my favourite pack
I think my game style is pretty similar to delis so I really enjoyed watching this and like to use these videos as advice on which packs to buy
im so glad you did this video because I've been debating on soooo many packs and you just made my final decisions LMAO
Which ones you guna get next? hehe
@@jessicawilliams-emmett3463 definitely seasons and parenthood! i think i was so stuck on those for a while and this gave me validation 😂 also the bust the dust kit!
@@deeonnaaxo Yess!! Parenthood defs my top pick for family style game play and seasons also has nice items haha Dont have dust one yet cos idk if i always wana vaccum haha
@@deeonnaaxo seasons should be the first pack anyone gets lol. It is essential
Super helpful for helping decide what pack to try out! Thank you Deli!
Get famous could’ve been so much better if there were more ways to get famous then just “actor” like being a famous singer or model or something
I love the little realistic things like laundry day, trying to hold back from buying the hoovering feature. Ive bought too much hahah
Omg I love island living! Sulani is my fav world because it’s just so gorgeous, though I get what you’re saying about gameplay being limited. I think it’s worth it alone for the world
