If it includes pop ups forcing me tot he event when I'd rather be doing something else in game, they can keep the free event. All I ask for is an "off" button to opt out. If people are having fun with it great, just allow me to have fun ignoring it.
I hope the grouch trait is like the grumpy trait from sims 3 and not only tied to holidays and events. I been wanting that trait back for forever for my elders
Omg, idk why but for me, having Nyon now officially showing as grimborn is the best part of the update for me! I was so disappointed that part of the lore had been removed, so having it back in is great! 😂
I was rather hoping they would fix the bug where ALL the festival items in San Myshuno were all spawning at the same time, cluttering up the joint and making some items and food booths inaccessible.
Romanian here! Love the attention that sims gave my culture and country these couple of months with the pack and food stuff. Never imagine I would see anything like that since vampires ( the thing Romania is known the best for cuz Transylvania ) already are part of the game. Cool thing.
I didn’t really care much about the reaper event but I was actually excited for the Christmas event. The reward items are cute too(: Especially the festive hedges and slippers
America has a heavy eastern european influence. Especially on the east coast. It wasn't until I started traveling in Europe that I could see where the influences came from, and what they were. So it makes sense Sims would put out some content for it. I didn't even know kielbasa was brought by migrants from Poland, grew up having it every morning with my grandpa.
I think it makes sense with the recent Life and Death world being influenced by the Balkan region. They probably got to combine a lot of their research and can further expand on that aspect for people who have the expansion.
Finally some Eastern European inspired themes, perfect timing for the holidays and the legacy storyline from the reaper award event. Looking forward working on my 4th and 5th generation of my Sims family the Sanchez from the love sturck storyline.
The hedges and the TV are defs my fave items for this event. I ended up doing the Halloween event at the last minute and found myself actually enjoying it. I'm generally a builder, have barely ever played live mode for more than 30min haha so it was a really fun way to get me involved in live mode! I'm actually excited about these events now!
Greaaaaat…I wonder how long it will take before this breaks and Simmers are unable to collect the rewards…and then the Sims Team saying “oop! Sorry too bad so sad, not our fault our game is broken. ☺️” But…I will admit some of these items do look cute, i’ll definitely have a shot at this.
This is exactly what happened to my reaper rewards. I got stuck on the ambrosia society thing and no matter how many letters I got it wouldn’t complete. It just completely ruined these kinda things for me.
@@alwaysannoyedforever518 Same here, I think I got stuck at week 4 or 5, the opening pop up told me “week 4/5 is available” but when I went into the game it wouldn’t show me the tasks/objectives to complete. 🙁 I was hoping and thought EA would fix it and I said “nuh no way they wouldn’t make an emergency patch for this. 😅” completely forgot about it until the last day, then when Pixelade made a video of EA’s reaction basically said “It’s not our fault you didn’t it” I was so mad, I just wanted the glow in the dark bunny. 😂😭🤷🏻♀️
I wish they fixed the city living bug. Where all vendor stands and benches are bunched up and it looks like they are trying to combine all the festivals into one.
@@2002Sheer I’ve noticed the apartments in Evergreen Harbor don’t work either. Every time my sims load into an apartment they get stuck and stand there for HOURS. Even when I try to teleport them.🙄
Those limited events remind me about the items you could get from the sims 2 store before sims 3 and sims 4 came into existance. Also this event system also kind reminds me about the sims 3 store as well.
Thank you for these videos too, Pixelade! Because I didn’t even know about the new hot cocoa tray😍that’s exciting. I love Christmas time 🎄thank you for keeping us informed
still upset over the last event, so not going in expecting much from this one. Also unfortunate, is the biggest issue with die out, is due to base game sim behaviour. If they can't make packs that override that, all those packs that require certain behavious from sims to make things run more smoothly (and actually function), are never going to work correctly.
Hopefully, this event won't be as bugged as the Grim Event was. Every time I planted my cherry and apple trees; it wouldn't accept that the job was done. I tried everything to get it to work and nothing.
but the reward of a new trait will be worth it to make an actual grumpy sim with the actual trait plus free stuff especially if your among the base game players
You seem a bit calmer in this video, by comparison to your usual self you sound a little tired or done. Are you doing alright, Pix? Or trying something new?
Just an fyi, when you order on Instant Gaming, make sure you actually get the bonus DLC if you're eligible. I bought Life and Death on 11/30, and was supposed to get Macabre Mementos until 12/12. I originally didn't get it when I bought it. I had use their support 24/7 button and let them know I didn't receive it, but they very quickly remedied it. They sent me an additional code containing the bonus content and now I have everything I'm supposed to have. If only EA had support that good... =]
I loved the Grim event despite some bugs. I'm not as excited for this one because I am more into Halloween but I will definitely still be doing everything. Hopefully no bugs this time!
I like the events, but the last one completely broke my game and I still can't play because everything is going so slow. But maybe I'll try the update and see if it helps?
I truly do not like these events since they ways break. Did the people who had issues with the Reaper event ever get that fixed? Can't we just go back to scenarios? Like the limited time scenarios that had and we can just get rewards for playing it throughout the month instead?
My sims game completely broke after the reapers reward event had already finished. Like I couldn't even upload sims to the library, that finally got fixed and just the other day, my library was been corrupted so my 6 years worth of sims and builds was all gone
my game had been lagging long before the reaper event but it has to do with my laptop is just running out of space from updates mostly the reaper didn't break my saves at all and this laptop is about 8 yrs old
A picture frame TV... okay, I might have to reconsider skipping if I can get that. I don't have the kit that comes in. we will see... I preferred when it just required log in or SDX drops tbh. still ugh...I'll have to make a new save I can trow away when this event it over though. As holiday is not fit with any of my current saves. (let me play my nature survival or challge saves in peace please)
1:51 I'm sorry I'm laughing but the way you just said it was so funny 😂 you're supposed to pronounce it mama liga kind of like how you would say mamma mia just closer together
I'm happy they're giving sims creators free content to show for a couple of weeks to give their brains a creative break. I just hope this one is better then the Grim ones.
Hi and Happy Holidays to everyone! I'll do this one cause the Reaper Rewards event was too creepy for me and gave me bad vibes. I didn't want no parts of that playing with some dude that wants your soul. NO THANK YOU!! LOL
If I have a choice about being charged for items or an annoying event with popups, I'd rather just pay for the items (or not) and not have the game interrupting popups.
I’m Sad !! I had to Switch to dx9 so my Wallpaper cc works. Also, I haven’t updated my game in a few months and now all my CC bed and bed frames are disappearing not sure what to do. I’m just really disappointed.
I love new holiday dlc for sure, but I wish it was all just in a free update without pushing logging in so much to participate in these events on time limits.
I have been asking for hot chocolate for the Sims 4 (cause who does love hot chocolate?) ! 😭💔 Even tho I don't LIKE my game been broken (with the UI cheats being broken) ..They had me at hot chocolate..I'm a foodie..can't be helped.. I'm sorry my fellow simmers but I'm excited for the hot chocolate..🍫☕💕 🤦🏾♀️
I am still angry with EA I finished the Grim Reaper Challenge and it never gave me what I unlocked. I wrote to them with the extended week left. Still have not heard a word from them.
I just downloaded base game last night and I'm wondering if you (or anyone reading this) have recommendations for which dlc to get first, or if there is anything else need to know before starting up the game for the first time? :)
@@maplelattaes I recommend Seasons. If you’re thinking about family gameplay Growing Together and Parenthood are great. If you’re into occult gameplay you can’t go wrong with the new Life & Death pack (ghosts) or Werewolves, or Realm of Magic. My tip is have fun in CAS and just play around with no challenges or expectations and see what kind of gameplay you like. :) I thought I’d be an occult player but I always end up doing family gameplay 😂
well for me when i started out with the base game i got the seasons pack first followed by vampire and a few others after that i still do not have all the packs but someday i will get the ones that i do not have so my advice is to go with a pack that you feel like you really want to go with like which one interests you the most
i depends on your preferences :) i got cottage living first because i really enjoyed the world and also the style of CAS and BB. if you havent played the sims before getting Seasons first might not be a great choice tbh, it might hinder with you exploring the game for the first time (mostly when it comes to gardening). i recommend City Living because it has a unique world that is full of life (festival, lots of townies just going around, a lot of receipes you can learn).
Honestly depends on ur playstyle. If u like animals cats and dogs, horse and cottage living is ur stick. If u like ur sims to have businesses get to work and for rent, if u like to influence ur environment eco lifestyle and sulani or whatever it's called. They already mentioned family gameplay but if I were to actually start I would say get famous, for rent, or eco lifestyle. I don't like family gameplay bc it's repetitive but these packs I listed help spice up my gameplay and I honestly can't play without them. But it all depends on you
Fine I'll do another stupid event to get free stuff but it shouldn't be a limited time to do it. I'm busy and I want to play my game how I want to play it, not how EA wants me to play it. I think it's cool for those who want to take the time to earn free stuff but for the rest of us I wish they'd give us an option to pay to unlock the items up front so we don't have to come back every week to complete the tasks.
This update completely wiped one of my sims from the family tree and therefore completely got rid of that part of the family line as if they never existed 😐
@themysticwarriorgal9465 That's not really my point. It should've been in Life & Death because it ties into that pack and the culture surrounding it. They're basically using scraps from the pack in the event - the food, the headscarf, etc. instead of new holiday items. Even the wreaths are incredibly similar to the ones in the Seasons pack. They love to recycle and it's low effort.
@SyntheticGoth there's a possibility they just wanted people to experience the pack more. Not everyone can buy the pack and putting a cultural food under paywall is weird as hell
@themysticwarriorgal9465 I mean, sure. But you can still say the same about Central European culture being locked behind Life & Death because technically it is. My point is the food and clothing should've been included in that pack to make it more well rounded, but there are no new food dishes at all and it's an expansion. They still could've added extras for free in addition to those things being in L&D.
@SyntheticGoth they most likely didn't have time to include it in the pack plus this is good for people that can't purchase packs. Nothing wrong with that being free for everyone.
I went to work and forgot about this... looks interesting, though I hope it works (the Reaper one unfortunately didn't for me) 😅 Edit: I THOUGHT THE DINE OUT THING WAS MY MODS 😭
I dislike timed events. The timing between the different quests is much shorter, I can't get into the game that often. The objects themselves look nice. A framed TV and the game console are great for simmers who only have base game. I would have preferred to have these items as an SDX.
@@whazuesicefang5001 Uhh, have you played it? Chicken coops were causing hell in my game by making sims get stuck in place at rabbit hole spots so there would be like 20 sims outside my sim's house just standing there like zombies, eggs were spoiling instead of hatching, cows would get stuck in weird inventories. Most of that hasn't actually been fixed.
@@whazuesicefang5001 as hustlinhitch said, animals are dying AND getting stuck in the inventory as well as the barnhouse glitching out after an animal has died and refusing to allow another one to be assigned. Between this and the city living bug. UGH!
@Miluielle well each pack has its bugs but I do not have the horse ranch pack yet and I discovered that while playing the cottage living world I go into settings of that save file and I turn off all my other packs which seems to keep any glitching with the barns from happening but then again I might just have gotten lucky with not getting that kind of bug to crop up
just waiting on the update to finish it might be a closing the game and then re-opening up the game to get the event to actually pop up i had to do that with the grim reaper event
Any update CAN break mods. Some updates cause a lot of damage and break almost everything. Others just mess up a few. You should always check if there is an update for your mods. There is a list of broken mods on answer HQ.
You can get the build buy stuff in the gallery. People uploaded rooms with those things added inside. I don't think they'll appear in your build buy, but you should be able to clone them.
This update told me I have low storage and won't let me play this game. I don't have low storage, because the only thing I have on my PC is this game! They're making updates to fix a broken game? And the update broke the game even more, so now it's unplayable.
How big is your hard drive? Your OS (windows) takes up some space and Sims is about 35gb, if I remember correctly. Check your storage in settings and see if you can clear up some space by deleting temporary files and emptying your recycle bin. Remember to always have a few gigabytes of free storage. Games require it to store temp files during play, otherwise it will lag or crash. 😉
Holy crap 11 GB update. I wonder if my console will survive this. It broke the last one.😂😂😂 so let me guess. So I'm going to be going out and buying a new console. That's what happened the last time.😂😂😂😂😂
They need to switch it to a Sims 2 option, the ability to pick seasons for each neighborhood so you can have an always snowy newcrest or strangerville never experiening snow.

the "Grouch" trait is lliterally just the "evil" trait but for seasons, the trait doesn't work in the base game because there are no "holidays".

I went to work and forgot about this... looks interesting, though I hope it works (the Reaper one unfortunately didn't for me) 😅
Edit: I THOUGHT THE DINE OUT THING WAS MY MODS 😭
it's already broken for me 😭 the ui is all messed up (i dont have mods)
Dining out was broken without mods.😂😂😂😂
Honestly why does that look like half of the crap I already own.😂😂😂
Christmas present huh ?😂
I just want the occult's bugs get fixed it. I don't care about the event
Free event cool ..sad part it is already messing with my game
I dislike timed events. The timing between the different quests is much shorter, I can't get into the game that often. The objects themselves look nice. A framed TV and the game console are great for simmers who only have base game. I would have preferred to have these items as an SDX.
HOPE THIS ONE WORKS
Right after I update my mods😭😭
Fix Cottage Living animals! The whole draw of the pack is borked!
what exactly about the pack are you thinking needs to be fixed
@@whazuesicefang5001 Uhh, have you played it? Chicken coops were causing hell in my game by making sims get stuck in place at rabbit hole spots so there would be like 20 sims outside my sim's house just standing there like zombies, eggs were spoiling instead of hatching, cows would get stuck in weird inventories. Most of that hasn't actually been fixed.
@@whazuesicefang5001 Animals dying rapidly. I've chicks that hatch one day and are elders the next day then die. Cows sticking in inventories.
@@whazuesicefang5001 as hustlinhitch said, animals are dying AND getting stuck in the inventory as well as the barnhouse glitching out after an animal has died and refusing to allow another one to be assigned. Between this and the city living bug. UGH!
@Miluielle well each pack has its bugs but I do not have the horse ranch pack yet and I discovered that while playing the cottage living world I go into settings of that save file and I turn off all my other packs which seems to keep any glitching with the barns from happening but then again I might just have gotten lucky with not getting that kind of bug to crop up
Did you put it near everybody’s game? What’s gonna be broken?
My new event didn't trigger for me and I waited for the update to finish before playing🤔. Has anyone else had this issue?
just waiting on the update to finish it might be a closing the game and then re-opening up the game to get the event to actually pop up i had to do that with the grim reaper event
@whazuesicefang5001 yeah maybe it will trigger next time but didn't even launch game until update had finished
I didn’t even realize the dine out thing was a bug! I just assumed my mods were causing it 🫠. Glad it’s getting fixed
I’m new to playing sims on pc. Will this update break mods? Or is it just the BIG updates that’s break mods?
Any update CAN break mods. Some updates cause a lot of damage and break almost everything. Others just mess up a few. You should always check if there is an update for your mods. There is a list of broken mods on answer HQ.
Is there a way to get the rewards after the fact because I couldn't play my game to get the rewards? 😅
You can get the build buy stuff in the gallery. People uploaded rooms with those things added inside. I don't think they'll appear in your build buy, but you should be able to clone them.
This update told me I have low storage and won't let me play this game. I don't have low storage, because the only thing I have on my PC is this game! They're making updates to fix a broken game? And the update broke the game even more, so now it's unplayable.
How big is your hard drive? Your OS (windows) takes up some space and Sims is about 35gb, if I remember correctly. Check your storage in settings and see if you can clear up some space by deleting temporary files and emptying your recycle bin.
Remember to always have a few gigabytes of free storage. Games require it to store temp files during play, otherwise it will lag or crash. 😉
Pretty bummed that it's just Christmas like there are other holidays around this time
Holy crap 11 GB update. I wonder if my console will survive this. It broke the last one.😂😂😂 so let me guess. So I'm going to be going out and buying a new console. That's what happened the last time.😂😂😂😂😂
All the cheats keep breaking the games
i don't know about all the cheats but some of them had caused my game to crash before but not the money cheat
Man I hate these! My screen is already clogged up with notifications from football and festivals. I do not need more stuff
Everything ts4 is just fivestar, 100% game 4 me.
Not interested in event. I literally hate seasonal stuff - especially winter holidays theme
Just please SDX us…
Wow don't see any bug fixes for occult faces, thanks EA for not fixing many simmers biggest issues.
I hope that they fix the romantic interactions. They are BROKEN 😢
Again that stuff in the screen?? So annoying I was happy was finally over …
I don’t like these some of us don’t have time to play everyday etc due to work and school and go weeks without playing the sims. Its frustrating.
Interesting that they’re giving a christmas event, but can’t give us snow in ravenwood. The Sims team’s priorities are fucked.
They need to switch it to a Sims 2 option, the ability to pick seasons for each neighborhood so you can have an always snowy newcrest or strangerville never experiening snow.
I hate these, they never work for me, I'm always so disappointed. EACore #Dissapointment
