I think Growing Together should have been a base game update, Horse Ranch a game pack. I’m waiting for the livestream to decide about For Rent. I doubt we’ll ever get a big world like Windenburg again.
@@joyfulgirl91 clearly since they set the record high they'd be criticized for performing at a lower standard that's the only reason they regret it now
It occurred to me while watching this that EA may slowly be training buyers to accept fewer and fewer items in an EP. Soon EPs will be game pack size. Game Packs will be like Stuff Packs. They'll break up the bundles even more and players will just gobble it up. :\
honestly i dont see them getting away with it much longer, theyve got like 6 competitor games coming in that are absolutely going to be more fair to players, its either change their game to be more fair on peoples wallets or slowly die lol
The sims team doesn’t care about new players. Windenburg had a ton of lots, Brindleton Bay is pretty big, San Myshuno has a lot. But all the new worlds are so small witn like 8 or 9 lots. They say this is because of performance, but if you are a new sims player, you might not own the older packs and you might only want to buy the newer packs. Except if you do that, you are missing out on more lots and you can still handle the performance.
It's annoying when they blame performance, when a decade of technology has emerged since the first game where a lot of stuff is coded and built smarter so there is less strain on performance. An example I can give is Warframe (different genre)--back in 2020, they released a patch that cleaned up useless data, optimized textures, and fixed specs to lessen the size of the game so it worked better for smaller SSDs. They reduced the game by about 8.5gb (considering it took 6.5gb to download and removed 15gb). It was a smart move. The only performance struggling is the people working on it, because EA does not want to invest too much into an older (but active) franchise. What interests them is whatever nets them the most money.
To be honest i think that have more to do with laziness than performances issues. Old worlds like Willow Creek, Newcrest, Windenburg, Oasis Springs have 15 lots + and i didn't see them worry this much about performances issues with how big they are. I mean come on the worlds aren't even open worlds, and each worlds are divided by neighborhoods. So this isn't even like you load everything. It's not like they would force you to put six apartments on one lot and many sims living there either if you can't handle it. People should really stop with this bs of an excuse. I just think they are more and more tired of this game and at this point they can do whatever they want. Because even if peoples are going to be mad about it they wont care, they know many will still buy anyway. The fact that people are more and more fu--ed by this game and are trying to protect their laziness with performances issues baffles me.
It’s not a logical argument for an a la carte game. Some guidelines about how much content certain specs can expect to handle would be caring about owners of low end systems
@@joyfulgirl91System requirements exist for a reason. Those peoples should learn more about pc specs and stop buying computers/laptops that are not suitable for gaming. One thing that i am aware of about many simmers is that they buy computers/laptops that are mostly suitable for work. No wonder why they get performance issues. Hardwares are evolving, and i'm tired of all the restrictions that are forced upon the ones that have good specs only because developers have to think about older gens and lower specs. There has been many cases of games that could've been way better if the developers didn't have to refrain on many great implementations in order for the game to run on lower specs. I couldn't run many games before yet i didn't cry about it. I sticked with the older ones that i could play and then i learned about pc specs and built my own computer wich in the end cost me way less than if i bought one. Knowledge is the key. And i'm not saying that everyone should be able to build their own computer, but if they are interested in gaming then they should learn about pc specs. This way they can at least buy a computer with the recommended specs. Anyway The Sims 4 is 10 years old and they already made many restrictions with how this game was built in the first place. Loading screens, worlds not being open worlds + separated between neighborhoods + lots not being open either until you travel to them.
well... you said that horse ranch felt like cottage living 2.0 for rent feels like city living 2.0 and you can think of high school years as discover university 2.0 and snowy escape and island living feel like a little bit of a seasons "spin-off" too me LOL so we can expect the "continuations" of other previous sims 4 expansion packs soon 😂 im really curious what comes next 😅
It used to be that an EP gave a world with lots of features, cas, build like how Get To Work came with the multiple careers, aliens, illness system, retail option, baking skill. Lots of differing things, but thematically all in the same pack. Compared to something like Vampires, which is a game pack because it’s JUST vampires and it’s getting an extra focus Stuff packs were “Hey you want this but we don’t have enough content to have a game pack for it, so if you want it you can buy it cheaper here.” Usually, very unnecessary add-ons, but catering to a niche. Now? There’s no levels, no standard of a certain quality, it’s just whatever
@@heath6802Sims 4 EPs were always GPs. There is no real difference. There is no excuse for Magnolia Promenade, it was a joke compared to Sims 3 ambitions. The line between the EP and GP for Sims 4 is in fact, an arbitrary EA boardroom decision. At this point it is about if what they add to the game are valuable to you. Outside of Magnolia promenade, the main thing I use in get to work is the hospital. Thank god I got it on sale for about $17 on a CD keys site. Sims 4 has NEVER had a good EP that felt like a true EP and that INCLUDES Get Together as much as I freakin adore and play with Windenburg all the time.
There's a reason they've been able to pump out 3 'expansion' packs in ONE YEAR. We're normally treated to one a year because a lot of thought, time and effort goes into making them. These are game packs being upsold because they only care about one thing and people are willing to give it as a lot of simmers are sheep "BAAAHHHHH"... Money!! 🤑🤑🤑
Of course they created the smaller world in the expansion pack instead of game pack which makes more profit for EA and shareholders. EA already knows simmers will buy it regardless. I think it's criminal.
@@boo9507 I don't think Maxis are worried about their competitors. They have a loyal fan base and a particular art style that a lot of people love. Inzoi looks amazing but the Gameplay looks shallow. It's still early days but with a release next year I doubt there will be major advancements. Life By You has a lot of ideas but for now the graphics and animations etc aren't doing it for me. I'm mostly looking forward to Paralives.
@@serendipityx honesty, I disagree. I think inzoi can improve by a lot in one year. The company in huge unlike the ParaLives team. (I mean, it’s been in development for 1 year and look how far they’ve come.) Also, sims 4 released with no pools, toddlers, and majority of the base game clothes and hair are horrendous. Alpha cc users with most likely favor inzoi, and a good majority of sims players only play for the cas and building aspects which inzoi (at least with cas) seems to be doing pretty well. Aside from that, sims 4 gameplay is shallow, half the packs don’t work, and so I don’t think inzoi will have to provide much to make it more fun than sims 4. Yes, the sims 4 has a huge fan base (almost culty so- heads stuck up their ass giving praise for small things that the previous games did 100% better) but it wouldn’t be weird for people to play more than just one game. They’ll all offer different aspects that people will like better. Life by you and inzoi have more realism-look, ParaLives (and I assume sims 5) will give the more cartoony look. I’m personally more excited for inzoi and think it has a ton of potential. As for life by you, I only see myself playing it if they majorly improve the graphics. (Sorry for the long response)
gonna be honest. my hype for this pack disappeared when I found out you needed a loading screen *to literally enter a different part of your own home lot.* I think the idea is we have a lot of families crammed into the small number of lots. In fact, a small world (for once) could have easily worked in this pack's favor...but they didn't do the one thing that would have made it good. If families felt so close together and you could visit without a loading screen, having fewer lots would encourage that closeness. Would have enjoyed it. but they screwed it up pretty fricking bad...it's so unfortunate
The loading screen is essential for performance. And this is really true, and not the usual EA excuse. Imagine: a huge house and 20+ sims. The computer needs to process the AI of 20+ Sims at the same time
Yeah I would rather have my Sim wait at their neighbors' door for a few seconds so the lot can load. The damn loading screen is so immersion breaking lol
EA probably hate closeness. That's a foreign concept for them. They probably are like our Sims who are constantly on their phones and disconnected from the world around them. I genuinely believe that they really don't care. I think they blame us, rather than self-reflect on how they could improve. I imagine a lot of inflated egos in the workspace. Power tripping and entitlement. Probably lots of drama.
@@PrimmsHoodCinemaI've been saying forever people wouldn't hate loading screens if you just made it a video of "driving" a car. The Sims 3 driving was horrendous and people still love it. Just do a fake version of that
@likeinoldtale17 the sims 4 wasn't even supposed to be the sims 4, it was supposed to be a online experience but they scrapped it halfway through development after the disaster of simcity. That's why we had so many features missing and still missing cuz the engine is rushed. So I understand why there would be loading screens, the game isnt built to be open, but we can agree its kinda ridiculous and upsetting to have a loading screen on the same lot. I'm still holding hope that it's like the sims 2 tho, where it would load in front of you without a screen.
We are basically buying 9 save points to save 9 house, I always don't understand what they lost if they let us have 50 lots on a map, we need loading screen anyway
If they give you 50 lots, they'll actually lose a lot on the long run. Why give players 50 lots on one map for one expansion, when they can make 10 expansions with one world each, that contain only 5 lots, and sell them all full price. We all know simmers are gonna buy it regardless.
I wish they could have World Packs where it only comes with a world, and nothing else, so they can focus on making a large world such as Windenburg, instead of sacrificing size.
The pricing for these packs is insane, i could either buy two expansion packs and get 3+ hours gameplay or i could buy a game like idk elden ring and get 120+ hours of QUALITY gameplay
For rent should of been a pack refresh for City living as that's when the apartment system was first introduced, now EA is trying to sell us the same old system from back then. Their big ploy "You get to be the land lord of the old apartment system, INCLUDING THE SAME LOADING SCREENS FOR EACH APARTMENT!" CAS and Build/buy didn't look interesting at all. A night market and drip feed of content in these expansion packs tells me everything I need to know, this is a hard pass.
I counted 9 lots, but then you pointed out that spot at the top, and hopefully that makes 10. But i also noticed 1, that the lots look large, and 2 the pack is for rental properties that are meant to share a lot, so that makes it feel like more lots. Also hopefully this world is more interactive than past worlds. Unlike snowy escape wich had a big beautiful back drop with nothing to interact with. Also remember everyone, seasons came with zero lots and no new world but it still was expansion pack worthy. So much in that pack.
That's the biggest BS about expansion packs. Base game initially costed $60, came with 3 worlds with 3 nieghborhoods each. Now EPs cost $40, they should come with two worlds with 3 neighborhoods each, because Game Packs also come with one world. This is yet another reason why I will never buy another Sims 4 release. I bought Cottage Living hoping the gardening bugs would get fixed, but I just got subpar EP... At least I bought it at 50% off.
Speaking of those stockholm syndrome people, I went and compared how Sims 3 apartments worked and how Sims 4 is having loading screens on another RUclipsr's channel. And someone tried to tell me I can't compare 3 and 4 because the code/open-world are so different... And that's when I said.. It's not open world. It's loading screens ON THE SAME LOT!! These people are beyond help 😂😂😂😂
@@gabrielandy9272 Yes, I've heard Sims 2 apartments are even better. I know there is even a mod to get Sims 2 apartments in Sims 3. Lol. So they need to be lucky I don't know much about Sims 2 😂😂
@@pandaonsteroids5154 the sims 2 have proper apartments Just like the sims 4, landlords neighborhood noises and many features problems in the apartment rats etc the sims 4 apartments are great except the loading part and is the same on sims 2 alot of features and gameplay exclusive to apartment.. The sims 3 on the other hand always focused too much on the world, so your home and apartment lack alot of gameplay, alot there's no landlord no neighborhood interaction no problem no anything sims 3 apartments are nothing more than a normal house disguised as a apartment there's no exclusive or feature for it at all, it's like using a toy car in the sims 4 pretending it's gameplay car it's not, The max the sims 3 can have is a roommate system added in university, with is very poorly and that sims 4 also already have so we can skip sims 3 for apartments because the sims 3 did very bad on it. None game is perfect and some are better in some features than others the sims 3 have diving lots house boats etc but apartments it's literally the worse in the series so compare to sims 2. Sims 2 and sims 4 apartments are already good it just the loading issue that sims 4 have
They are right because sims 4 isn’t even coded like Sims 2 when it comes to lots vs households. While Sims 2 Apartments did work better in a bubble, as far as freedom to actually move around in the lot beyond your house, Sims 4 gives you way more freedom. And you could not visit another house AT ALL in sims 2. Fellow apartment dwellers could visit folks on the same building, but you could not visit another house or even another apartment building. You can’t mention one thing and ignore the others. And I love Sims 2...still the best actual GAME to me, but sims 2 was far more closed then Sim 4 when it comes to maps. There was more editing freedom in sims 2 and you could add lots whereever, but a lot was a lot. And when a lot loaded for actual gameplay, your lot ended at your lot. There was no walkable/bikable areas beyond your box. Sims 3 is literally not comparable because, yes, it had a fully open neighborhood system. It would take extensive recoding the base game and possibly redoing every pack to have Sims 4 emulate something it wasn’t built to do. They certainly couldn’t throw it an an expansion pack 9 years after coding themselves into a corner. What they need is a new game and that’s way off and may go in a direction people don’t want in the end anyway.
@gabrielandy9272 sims 3 doesn't need apartments like sims2 and 4. You can put 10 lots on one street (town Edit tool) Make them all look like apartments, and have all rich game plays of sims3 and intract with all 10 lots at same time without loading screen IMO sims3 is sims 5 lol
ea will always be a controversial. there are people who will buy just about anything, and people who always want more that’s why it will always be contrversial. i think that the world should be bigger tho, even more than 12 lots
There’s some people that complain but also there’s that people that accept every shit EA do and say they loved it, that’s is why EA keep delivering they the worst. But I’m good with that bc it is what they deserve for supporting anything.
I believe this map is AI generated, just look at all the buildings and other inconsistencies and compare that to the existing maps, its obviously just wonky
As long as The Sims franchise won’t have real concurrent they will continue to provide the minimum effort knowing people will pay. We need a Real new player in the life simulation game.
Yeah and anytime it's like a game pack instead of a expansion I simple wait until I'm paying a game pack price. I either wait until the price drops or buy it from a discount site. While I love the concept of making apartments that are real and not high rises, I agree with you on the game pack feel.
Sims 2 Apartment Life is one of my favorite Sims 2 packs. In addition to apartments, it added social class, social groups, reputation system, butlers, witches, and roommates. I think they should include some kind of new gameplay mechanism like Sims 4 did (reputation, social class). Also, they should really create new types of activities to do... We get festivals in every other pack so that's not new gameplay.
Im so super glad that the orgin and then EA apps made me so mad i stopped playing the sims. Now i just like keeping up with news on it and it makes me glad i stopped wasting money on packs.
First, EA say they're gonna refresh packs. Then we get one refresh. We get Growing Together, with family gameplay that could've been in Parenthood. We get Home Chef Hustle, with cooking related content that could've been in Cool Kitchen. We get For Rent, with landlord and tenant features that could've been in City Living. Are they using ideas they had for refreshes to make new packs? 👀
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but even though I would love another huge Windenburg sized world, if this pack does as promised and allows us to completely change lots in other worlds to have townhouses, apartments, etc., then I’m not too bothered by this.
I would not mind about two neighbourhoods IF they include enough lots 😄 Sims 4 is not open world so since one neighbourhood is open at times, it would maybe feel bigger if the general area is bigger.
As mean as this might sound I truly believe that sims players deserve these garbage expansions. The community has been complaining about expansion packs lack of content for years, yet they still eat up all the garbage Maxis throws at them while saying more please. The only way this trash team will change is talking with your wallets but that will never happen with the sims cause the community has a serious lack of self control.
@@likeinoldtale17Or, like Square Enix and Blizzard, they will get their shit together as they lose millions of fans... and make a game 100x better because of the fallout!
@@christabelle__ EA did nothing with SimCity tanked. They didn't try to make a better game, not really, they folded and pulled up shop and closed Maxis Emeryville. I honestly don't think the simulation genra would die with the Sims if they did close shop (which I don't think they will). But someone else would just succeed with another game that was similar, much like what happened with city builders. Maybe not right away, but it would happen.
the community who complain and the community who buy everything, maybe are not the same people. we're not that united. but yeah there might be some people like you said, but it's because they love sims but frustrated at how cash grabby it is. if the price is not so expensive, people wouldn't have complain much.. this is so unfortunate for us the users..
I heard there were no lot, and EA will transition all lots to rabbit holes and the next expanse pack will be "Sim 4 Lots of Lots" for US$ 200 to unlock all 5 lots per purchase.
Also, still disagree with Satch about there being not enough gameplay, it is cottage living, but you can customize when your livestock, I mean tenets, live, Also, there could be apartment lots on the map.
There's definitely a couple lots who's buildable area is over water. @6:01 there's two buildings that are built on a pole foundation above the sea. To their left is an unbuilt "dock" lot. This particular lot is shown on the world view, along with another on the northwest side of the city sea wall, and other docks on the southeast part of the map.
Get to work comes with Magnolia Promenade which has only 4 lots and is just 1 neighborhood. It did have a bunch of lots that were active careers, so it really even didn't come with a complete world. Copperdale from High School years only has 2 buildable neighborhoods and the high school area with 2 lots.
"I'll be honest with you... do what?" 😭😭 y'know what that actually got me thinking forreal. I was a part of the night market excitement group LOL but once you said that I was like yeah... def me living through the screen, I have nothing like that by me
@joyfulgirl91 yes that's true, I'll probably get this on sale. The fact this only has a single gamplay element of making and living in apartments does make it feel like a gamepack
Honestly, I have a theory that the EP released this year were going to be pack refreshes. As the pack refresh didn't financially do as well as they had hoped, they went 'let's just make money off them by selling them'. Growing Together was an refresh of Parenthood, Horse Ranch was Cats and Dogs and For Rent is clearly City Living. The game play is the refresh, the B/B, CAS, and worlds are the bloat to fill to an EP amount. How else is there 3 EPs in one year, this is unheard of, and it is suffering if my theory is not correct. Satch please keep you wee jokes coming, its what we expect from you now lol
I'll be honest I won't buy any of the sims stuff until I see how messed up it is through RUclips sims players and then I'll buy it on a 40% or more discount
Yo Ho Ho it’s a pirates life for me 💀😂 I’ll pay for sims packs again when they’re worth it. Or when they hire more sims creators to design lots/maps for them. I feel like half of the sims team don’t even play sims 4. Or they ONLY play sims 4 and none of the older ones.
I was always hyped for sims3 packs now i dont even pay attention to sims 4 packs havent even bought packs for a while and i wont be doing that in the near future...i am waiting on life by you
I would like to bring attention that these idiots made a steam post to nominate sims 4 for a Steam “Labor of Love” award and I want to bring attention to their absolute delusion
It's AI art. Steam is supposed to ban EA if they use this map. It's more likely that someone on Twitter just wanted attention and generated this random image.
Yeah, sometimes I go to play and it wants me to log-in, but it never remembers my email or password, which pisses me off almost as much as having to log-in to play my freaking game that I paid for. I have had days when my internet was down, so I thought, hey, I'll play a game to kill time. Not The Sims, I won't. Because even though it's on my computer and not an online game, I have to have access to the internet to log-in so EA can spy on how long I play or something.
Glimmerbrook only has one neighborhood unless you count The magic realm which can't be built upon without cheats. Magnolia Promenade also only has one hood, but can be discounted because its meant for retail.
I don't think you're awful. Maybe awfully cute. I enjoy your builds and your videos as well. I think this pack may very well have between 10 to 12 lots if this is in fact a legit map.
San Myshuno have 4 neighborhoods almost 5 because the park lot have its own set dressing different from other places. Windenburg have 4 too. I dont mind the number of neighborhoods. San Sequoia could be better if they had put the Hopewell Hills lots in the other neighborhoods because that is one the worst neighborhood of the world.
Soooooo many packs should have been put into one fr; like I believe that Parenthood, growing together, my wedding stories and highschool years should have been ONE pack and just call it growing together. Because right, all of these packs have similar features and all together they could have built up on one another! I don't acc own any of these personally so I'm not sure on alllll the features, but honestly Growing together just feels like an expensive add on to Parenthood, like, who needs growing together if you have parenthood?? Personally, I am aiming to get all of the packs (on sale because that should be the real price) just for the different CAS and Build/Buy mode stuff, but from a gameplay pov there are so many packs that should have been included together (Like horses should have come with cats + dogs and Seasons should have been base game fr)
The map itself (if real) is beautiful but I’m hoping that some of that empty space at the bottom of the map is like two-three water based lots. It’s delusional on my part but I don’t think whatever gameplay comes with this pack will ever excuse 9 lots when they literally just said earlier this year or last year (idk when) that 12 was going to become the standard.
What I dislike about the newest worlds is the distance between lots. Growing Together was advertised as a neighbourly expansion, but your only neighbours are shells and one family the other side of the road ... I want the Willowcreek neighbourhoods.
I buy most packs in the end, but I always wait for reviews and based on reviews figure out how much I am willing to pay for it and just wait until the price matches. For example highschool years were on cd keys on black Friday offer for £11. So I got it today. Even my first pet stuff dropped to a price I was willing to pay (£0) 🤣🤣🤣. I understand that sometimes you want the content even if it's not worth the money but I'd say making a more wise mind decision to wait to get it when it's on offer atleast is worth it imo.
Eu gostaria muito que Ts4 tivesse a ferramenta de criar/personalizar mundos. Ia ser tão incrível, escolher quantos lotes quiser colocar nos mundos, igual no Ts2, poder escolher em qual posição colocar esses lotes e decorar a vizinhança. Isso ia ser um sonho que infelizmente não é possível realizá-lo, mesmo que, exista um mod para editar mundos, bem, vocês entenderam, queria algo que o jogo nos proporcionasse. Ou então uma pegada "meio aberta" nos mundos, onde em cada região, no qual há um conjunto de casas, igual quando geralmente no próprio jogo temos uma breve descrição e uma localização em três pontos de regiões, esses poderiam ser semi abertos...
They'll 100% gonna defend it saying that it's actually as big as other worlds bc every lot is like a few smaller lots bc of the families living on one lot etc
I completely agree. Love the concepts, but each feels like a Game Pack - especially when you take the price into account. They'll have to change their ways for The Sims 5 or I think a lot of players won't move to it until it's much cheaper becaue of all of the money we've invested in The Sims 4 over the years. It's so disappointing.
i really like the idea of having more households on one lot. it allows us to create lots and living situations that aren’t just suburban america….. which to me almost means it should have been a base game update. or a game pack at MOST. not… locked into an expansion pack :/
Well, considering you have to go to a loading screen any time you leave your house, does it matter how many neighborhoods there are? Considering this pack will allow you to have multiple households on one lot, if the lots are big, then you can actually pack a lot of Sims in each neighborhood--way more than you can have in a 3-neighborhood world now.
Im ready for EA to move on and discount all the Sims 4 stuff. I'll buy up all the packs and I'll get some mods and I'll just build my little world... Its like Rwby or Steven Universe; its disappointing but I'm already this deeply invested, might as well see it through to the end
So are you saying I should get a refund for my 2010 car I bought in 2012, because the New 2017 I just bought has a touch screen in it and the Old one built/manufactured 10+ years ago didn't come with it? Because based on the way everyone says, "should have come", well my old car should have come with what the new one has? Make the Math work....
I am basically still here just for the drama, I lost interest in the sims some while ago when I realized I am expected to pay 1,000$+ just to not get bored within 10 minutes of booting up the game. There are so many cheaper ways to be entertained, watching EA drama unfolds is pretty much free
Don't know but this image gives me "Ai shit" generated especially when you zoom in and nothing makes sense and you can see just shapes clumped together. Pretty sure it's Ai
I always like the video but sometimes i'll like then unlike so I can like again when you make a funny joke. from a recently new subscriber, dont stop being you❤
Guys, I think the map is smaller because the rest of the budget are spent on: • QA testing to ensure that this pack has zero bugs • Deep fleshed-out gameplay with lots of features • Making the town feel more alive than ever with no Rabbit Holes or Set Dressing • And dozens of new kinds of animals you can interact with in the Animal Sanctuary, all crammed inside one pack
Modders really are the ones that give the expansion packs an expansion pack's worth of content, for example, in Horse Ranch you can have real Unicorns with magic, a Pegasus, a hippogriff, and camels, and a trait that lets horses float which is good for those winged horses, with all those different ridable animals and the added gameplay from Spinning Plumbob's Unicorn mod, it feels like a proper expansion pack. Unfortunately those not on PC can't experience the full gameplay feel due to not being able to use mods, which is really unfair considering how full the modders make the game feel. In fact a lot of things before they were packs existed in some kind of mod, going to school was a mod before Highschool Years, there was a werewolf mod before the werewolf pack was made, with mods you can have fairies, which Sims 4 still doesn't have. I think the best thing EA could do is let console players be able to use CC and mods, so console players can get the full gameplay experience.
Regarding: it could have been an update to city living. YES! Just like horse ranch could've been an update to cottage living or cats and dogs and growing together could've been an update to parenthood. If you're just looking at the gameplay then yeah...Like bruh??
I think Growing Together should have been a base game update, Horse Ranch a game pack. I’m waiting for the livestream to decide about For Rent. I doubt we’ll ever get a big world like Windenburg again.

I just think they are more and more tired of this game and at this point they can do whatever they want. Because even if peoples are going to be mad about it they wont care, they know many will still buy anyway.
The fact that people are more and more fu--ed by this game and are trying to protect their laziness with performances issues baffles me.
It’s not a logical argument for an a la carte game. Some guidelines about how much content certain specs can expect to handle would be caring about owners of low end systems
@@joyfulgirl91System requirements exist for a reason. Those peoples should learn more about pc specs and stop buying computers/laptops that are not suitable for gaming. One thing that i am aware of about many simmers is that they buy computers/laptops that are mostly suitable for work. No wonder why they get performance issues.
Hardwares are evolving, and i'm tired of all the restrictions that are forced upon the ones that have good specs only because developers have to think about older gens and lower specs. There has been many cases of games that could've been way better if the developers didn't have to refrain on many great implementations in order for the game to run on lower specs.
I couldn't run many games before yet i didn't cry about it. I sticked with the older ones that i could play and then i learned about pc specs and built my own computer wich in the end cost me way less than if i bought one. Knowledge is the key. And i'm not saying that everyone should be able to build their own computer, but if they are interested in gaming then they should learn about pc specs. This way they can at least buy a computer with the recommended specs.
Anyway The Sims 4 is 10 years old and they already made many restrictions with how this game was built in the first place. Loading screens, worlds not being open worlds + separated between neighborhoods + lots not being open either until you travel to them.
They complain, but then they buy.

As a new player I just found the difference between Gampack and Expansion pack so confusing. The line just seems so arbitrary.
It used to be that an EP gave a world with lots of features, cas, build
like how Get To Work came with the multiple careers, aliens, illness system, retail option, baking skill. Lots of differing things, but thematically all in the same pack.
Compared to something like Vampires, which is a game pack because it’s JUST vampires and it’s getting an extra focus
Stuff packs were “Hey you want this but we don’t have enough content to have a game pack for it, so if you want it you can buy it cheaper here.” Usually, very unnecessary add-ons, but catering to a niche.
Now? There’s no levels, no standard of a certain quality, it’s just whatever
Currently the only difference is the price tag.
@@heath6802Sims 4 EPs were always GPs. There is no real difference. There is no excuse for Magnolia Promenade, it was a joke compared to Sims 3 ambitions. The line between the EP and GP for Sims 4 is in fact, an arbitrary EA boardroom decision. At this point it is about if what they add to the game are valuable to you. Outside of Magnolia promenade, the main thing I use in get to work is the hospital. Thank god I got it on sale for about $17 on a CD keys site.
Sims 4 has NEVER had a good EP that felt like a true EP and that INCLUDES Get Together as much as I freakin adore and play with Windenburg all the time.
Welcome to The Sims 4 lol.
@@lampasix you beat me to that....I was just going to say the same thing
There's a reason they've been able to pump out 3 'expansion' packs in ONE YEAR. We're normally treated to one a year because a lot of thought, time and effort goes into making them. These are game packs being upsold because they only care about one thing and people are willing to give it as a lot of simmers are sheep "BAAAHHHHH"... Money!! 🤑🤑🤑
Of course they created the smaller world in the expansion pack instead of game pack which makes more profit for EA and shareholders. EA already knows simmers will buy it regardless. I think it's criminal.
Allegedly 👀
They’re probably milking the crap out of it before life by you and inzoi release
@@boo9507 I don't think Maxis are worried about their competitors. They have a loyal fan base and a particular art style that a lot of people love. Inzoi looks amazing but the Gameplay looks shallow. It's still early days but with a release next year I doubt there will be major advancements. Life By You has a lot of ideas but for now the graphics and animations etc aren't doing it for me. I'm mostly looking forward to Paralives.
@@serendipityx honesty, I disagree. I think inzoi can improve by a lot in one year. The company in huge unlike the ParaLives team. (I mean, it’s been in development for 1 year and look how far they’ve come.) Also, sims 4 released with no pools, toddlers, and majority of the base game clothes and hair are horrendous. Alpha cc users with most likely favor inzoi, and a good majority of sims players only play for the cas and building aspects which inzoi (at least with cas) seems to be doing pretty well. Aside from that, sims 4 gameplay is shallow, half the packs don’t work, and so I don’t think inzoi will have to provide much to make it more fun than sims 4. Yes, the sims 4 has a huge fan base (almost culty so- heads stuck up their ass giving praise for small things that the previous games did 100% better) but it wouldn’t be weird for people to play more than just one game. They’ll all offer different aspects that people will like better. Life by you and inzoi have more realism-look, ParaLives (and I assume sims 5) will give the more cartoony look. I’m personally more excited for inzoi and think it has a ton of potential. As for life by you, I only see myself playing it if they majorly improve the graphics. (Sorry for the long response)
gonna be honest. my hype for this pack disappeared when I found out you needed a loading screen *to literally enter a different part of your own home lot.* I think the idea is we have a lot of families crammed into the small number of lots. In fact, a small world (for once) could have easily worked in this pack's favor...but they didn't do the one thing that would have made it good. If families felt so close together and you could visit without a loading screen, having fewer lots would encourage that closeness. Would have enjoyed it. but they screwed it up pretty fricking bad...it's so unfortunate
The loading screen is essential for performance. And this is really true, and not the usual EA excuse. Imagine: a huge house and 20+ sims. The computer needs to process the AI of 20+ Sims at the same time
Yeah I would rather have my Sim wait at their neighbors' door for a few seconds so the lot can load. The damn loading screen is so immersion breaking lol
EA probably hate closeness. That's a foreign concept for them. They probably are like our Sims who are constantly on their phones and disconnected from the world around them.
I genuinely believe that they really don't care. I think they blame us, rather than self-reflect on how they could improve. I imagine a lot of inflated egos in the workspace. Power tripping and entitlement. Probably lots of drama.
@@PrimmsHoodCinemaI've been saying forever people wouldn't hate loading screens if you just made it a video of "driving" a car. The Sims 3 driving was horrendous and people still love it. Just do a fake version of that
@likeinoldtale17 the sims 4 wasn't even supposed to be the sims 4, it was supposed to be a online experience but they scrapped it halfway through development after the disaster of simcity. That's why we had so many features missing and still missing cuz the engine is rushed. So I understand why there would be loading screens, the game isnt built to be open, but we can agree its kinda ridiculous and upsetting to have a loading screen on the same lot. I'm still holding hope that it's like the sims 2 tho, where it would load in front of you without a screen.
We are basically buying 9 save points to save 9 house, I always don't understand what they lost if they let us have 50 lots on a map, we need loading screen anyway
If they give you 50 lots, they'll actually lose a lot on the long run. Why give players 50 lots on one map for one expansion, when they can make 10 expansions with one world each, that contain only 5 lots, and sell them all full price. We all know simmers are gonna buy it regardless.
I wish they could have World Packs where it only comes with a world, and nothing else, so they can focus on making a large world such as Windenburg, instead of sacrificing size.
That's honestly what they should have been doing instead of kits.
Don’t give them ideas! You need a paid set dressing world?
At this point it’s a necessity to keep the game fun
@@regeneratedwitch At this point, isn't that what we're getting with expansion packs anyways?
However, Tartosa without MWS could be worth $5.
I’ve been hoping for this for years!
Your jokes are my kind of jokes. Don't stop being you, Satch.
The pricing for these packs is insane, i could either buy two expansion packs and get 3+ hours gameplay or i could buy a game like idk elden ring and get 120+ hours of QUALITY gameplay
Elden ring plumbob mod...
i’ve stated this line of thought several times over and been beaten by the bootlickers for it
I've been playing Genshin impact on my phone lately and having more fun 😭
For rent should of been a pack refresh for City living as that's when the apartment system was first introduced, now EA is trying to sell us the same old system from back then. Their big ploy "You get to be the land lord of the old apartment system, INCLUDING THE SAME LOADING SCREENS FOR EACH APARTMENT!" CAS and Build/buy didn't look interesting at all. A night market and drip feed of content in these expansion packs tells me everything I need to know, this is a hard pass.
Is anyone even shocked?! We just expect it now 😂 they just tried to soften the blow with a good Black Friday sale before the leak 😂
I counted 9 lots, but then you pointed out that spot at the top, and hopefully that makes 10. But i also noticed 1, that the lots look large, and 2 the pack is for rental properties that are meant to share a lot, so that makes it feel like more lots. Also hopefully this world is more interactive than past worlds. Unlike snowy escape wich had a big beautiful back drop with nothing to interact with. Also remember everyone, seasons came with zero lots and no new world but it still was expansion pack worthy. So much in that pack.
That's the biggest BS about expansion packs. Base game initially costed $60, came with 3 worlds with 3 nieghborhoods each. Now EPs cost $40, they should come with two worlds with 3 neighborhoods each, because Game Packs also come with one world. This is yet another reason why I will never buy another Sims 4 release. I bought Cottage Living hoping the gardening bugs would get fixed, but I just got subpar EP... At least I bought it at 50% off.
I can't tell if they're doing controversial marketing or they really cannot do anything right
Literally this
Speaking of those stockholm syndrome people, I went and compared how Sims 3 apartments worked and how Sims 4 is having loading screens on another RUclipsr's channel. And someone tried to tell me I can't compare 3 and 4 because the code/open-world are so different... And that's when I said.. It's not open world. It's loading screens ON THE SAME LOT!! These people are beyond help 😂😂😂😂
the sims 3 don't have apartments properly you need to compare it to the sims 2 =P
@@gabrielandy9272 Yes, I've heard Sims 2 apartments are even better. I know there is even a mod to get Sims 2 apartments in Sims 3. Lol. So they need to be lucky I don't know much about Sims 2 😂😂
@@pandaonsteroids5154 the sims 2 have proper apartments Just like the sims 4, landlords neighborhood noises and many features problems in the apartment rats etc the sims 4 apartments are great except the loading part and is the same on sims 2 alot of features and gameplay exclusive to apartment..
The sims 3 on the other hand always focused too much on the world, so your home and apartment lack alot of gameplay, alot there's no landlord no neighborhood interaction no problem no anything sims 3 apartments are nothing more than a normal house disguised as a apartment there's no exclusive or feature for it at all, it's like using a toy car in the sims 4 pretending it's gameplay car it's not,
The max the sims 3 can have is a roommate system added in university, with is very poorly and that sims 4 also already have so we can skip sims 3 for apartments because the sims 3 did very bad on it.
None game is perfect and some are better in some features than others the sims 3 have diving lots house boats etc but apartments it's literally the worse in the series so compare to sims 2. Sims 2 and sims 4 apartments are already good it just the loading issue that sims 4 have
They are right because sims 4 isn’t even coded like Sims 2 when it comes to lots vs households. While Sims 2 Apartments did work better in a bubble, as far as freedom to actually move around in the lot beyond your house, Sims 4 gives you way more freedom. And you could not visit another house AT ALL in sims 2. Fellow apartment dwellers could visit folks on the same building, but you could not visit another house or even another apartment building. You can’t mention one thing and ignore the others. And I love Sims 2...still the best actual GAME to me, but sims 2 was far more closed then Sim 4 when it comes to maps. There was more editing freedom in sims 2 and you could add lots whereever, but a lot was a lot. And when a lot loaded for actual gameplay, your lot ended at your lot. There was no walkable/bikable areas beyond your box.
Sims 3 is literally not comparable because, yes, it had a fully open neighborhood system. It would take extensive recoding the base game and possibly redoing every pack to have Sims 4 emulate something it wasn’t built to do. They certainly couldn’t throw it an an expansion pack 9 years after coding themselves into a corner.
What they need is a new game and that’s way off and may go in a direction people don’t want in the end anyway.
@gabrielandy9272 sims 3 doesn't need apartments like sims2 and 4.
You can put 10 lots on one street (town Edit tool)
Make them all look like apartments, and have all rich game plays of sims3 and intract with all 10 lots at same time without loading screen
IMO sims3 is sims 5 lol
so obsessed w you. literally the only simstuber i can stand to watch 😩 the way you started eating halfway thru the vid i'm cryingg
He and Plumbella are both so REAL. XD
ea will always be a controversial. there are people who will buy just about anything, and people who always want more that’s why it will always be contrversial. i think that the world should be bigger tho, even more than 12 lots
There’s some people that complain but also there’s that people that accept every shit EA do and say they loved it, that’s is why EA keep delivering they the worst. But I’m good with that bc it is what they deserve for supporting anything.
Darn you Satch - now I want fries!
I believe this map is AI generated, just look at all the buildings and other inconsistencies and compare that to the existing maps, its obviously just wonky
To be honest I wouldn't mind 2 neighborhoods and 9 lots if it had a bunch of gameplay... which doesn't seem the case
As long as The Sims franchise won’t have real concurrent they will continue to provide the minimum effort knowing people will pay. We need a Real new player in the life simulation game.
Yeah and anytime it's like a game pack instead of a expansion I simple wait until I'm paying a game pack price. I either wait until the price drops or buy it from a discount site. While I love the concept of making apartments that are real and not high rises, I agree with you on the game pack feel.
Sims 2 Apartment Life is one of my favorite Sims 2 packs. In addition to apartments, it added social class, social groups, reputation system, butlers, witches, and roommates. I think they should include some kind of new gameplay mechanism like Sims 4 did (reputation, social class). Also, they should really create new types of activities to do... We get festivals in every other pack so that's not new gameplay.
Im so super glad that the orgin and then EA apps made me so mad i stopped playing the sims. Now i just like keeping up with news on it and it makes me glad i stopped wasting money on packs.
First, EA say they're gonna refresh packs. Then we get one refresh.
We get Growing Together, with family gameplay that could've been in Parenthood.
We get Home Chef Hustle, with cooking related content that could've been in Cool Kitchen.
We get For Rent, with landlord and tenant features that could've been in City Living.
Are they using ideas they had for refreshes to make new packs? 👀
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but even though I would love another huge Windenburg sized world, if this pack does as promised and allows us to completely change lots in other worlds to have townhouses, apartments, etc., then I’m not too bothered by this.
I would not mind about two neighbourhoods IF they include enough lots 😄 Sims 4 is not open world so since one neighbourhood is open at times, it would maybe feel bigger if the general area is bigger.
As mean as this might sound I truly believe that sims players deserve these garbage expansions. The community has been complaining about expansion packs lack of content for years, yet they still eat up all the garbage Maxis throws at them while saying more please. The only way this trash team will change is talking with your wallets but that will never happen with the sims cause the community has a serious lack of self control.
The problem is that if the Sims community stops buying crap packs, EA will simply stop supporting the game and Sims 4 will die 😅
@@likeinoldtale17Or, like Square Enix and Blizzard, they will get their shit together as they lose millions of fans... and make a game 100x better because of the fallout!
@@christabelle__ EA did nothing with SimCity tanked. They didn't try to make a better game, not really, they folded and pulled up shop and closed Maxis Emeryville. I honestly don't think the simulation genra would die with the Sims if they did close shop (which I don't think they will). But someone else would just succeed with another game that was similar, much like what happened with city builders. Maybe not right away, but it would happen.
the community who complain and the community who buy everything, maybe are not the same people. we're not that united. but yeah there might be some people like you said, but it's because they love sims but frustrated at how cash grabby it is. if the price is not so expensive, people wouldn't have complain much.. this is so unfortunate for us the users..
0:50 brindleton bay, san myshuno
I love you Satch, I'm always tuned into the news that matters😂
I heard there were no lot, and EA will transition all lots to rabbit holes and the next expanse pack will be "Sim 4 Lots of Lots" for US$ 200 to unlock all 5 lots per purchase.
Also, still disagree with Satch about there being not enough gameplay, it is cottage living, but you can customize when your livestock, I mean tenets, live, Also, there could be apartment lots on the map.
There's definitely a couple lots who's buildable area is over water.
@6:01 there's two buildings that are built on a pole foundation above the sea. To their left is an unbuilt "dock" lot.
This particular lot is shown on the world view, along with another on the northwest side of the city sea wall, and other docks on the southeast part of the map.
Get to work comes with Magnolia Promenade which has only 4 lots and is just 1 neighborhood. It did have a bunch of lots that were active careers, so it really even didn't come with a complete world. Copperdale from High School years only has 2 buildable neighborhoods and the high school area with 2 lots.
"I'll be honest with you... do what?" 😭😭 y'know what that actually got me thinking forreal. I was a part of the night market excitement group LOL but once you said that I was like yeah... def me living through the screen, I have nothing like that by me
I wouldn't be mad if this world turns out like moonwood mill or Selvadorada, small but lots of places to explore and find collectibles.
If this pack cost the same as those ones a lot of people would be less frustrated
@joyfulgirl91 yes that's true, I'll probably get this on sale. The fact this only has a single gamplay element of making and living in apartments does make it feel like a gamepack
I don't even play Sims 4 anymore. I'm just sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the player uprising against EA's bullshit.
Honestly, I have a theory that the EP released this year were going to be pack refreshes. As the pack refresh didn't financially do as well as they had hoped, they went 'let's just make money off them by selling them'. Growing Together was an refresh of Parenthood, Horse Ranch was Cats and Dogs and For Rent is clearly City Living. The game play is the refresh, the B/B, CAS, and worlds are the bloat to fill to an EP amount. How else is there 3 EPs in one year, this is unheard of, and it is suffering if my theory is not correct.
Satch please keep you wee jokes coming, its what we expect from you now lol
That map looks AI generated though, and not like one of the EA maps 🤔
I'll be honest I won't buy any of the sims stuff until I see how messed up it is through RUclips sims players and then I'll buy it on a 40% or more discount
Yo Ho Ho it’s a pirates life for me 💀😂 I’ll pay for sims packs again when they’re worth it. Or when they hire more sims creators to design lots/maps for them. I feel like half of the sims team don’t even play sims 4. Or they ONLY play sims 4 and none of the older ones.
The fact that there’s no beach is insane
What do you use to record your videos? Capture card or recording software? 🙂
why does the art look ai generated, like all the buildings are very wonky
I tend to buy because I'm so utterly bored with gameplay that I build instead, so anything new is welcome, in a masochistic way.
Honestly I feel like half the time I'm just buying these packs for the build stuff.
Now I'm craving fries at 1am in the morning, thanks a lot Satch
Looks AI generated… with how the bridge looks and the way the buildings are with the messed up windows and such looks scuffed
This is why I don't buy game packs at full price anymore.
5:42 is so true lmao. xD I love you so much Satch.
I was always hyped for sims3 packs now i dont even pay attention to sims 4 packs havent even bought packs for a while and i wont be doing that in the near future...i am waiting on life by you
I would like to bring attention that these idiots made a steam post to nominate sims 4 for a Steam “Labor of Love” award and I want to bring attention to their absolute delusion
It's AI art. Steam is supposed to ban EA if they use this map. It's more likely that someone on Twitter just wanted attention and generated this random image.
I know I'm just going to get the pack to play as a robber/stalker for a couple hours, and then I'll never play with it again
Like yeah, im agree. It's feels strange really. In excited, but also sad because i remember Windenburg era and i feel like it's was dream fr
I don't want to pay for this !!
I love your jokes satch, your videos are always hilarious 😂. I have the same bug too, the silly app also randomly signs me out.
Yeah, sometimes I go to play and it wants me to log-in, but it never remembers my email or password, which pisses me off almost as much as having to log-in to play my freaking game that I paid for. I have had days when my internet was down, so I thought, hey, I'll play a game to kill time. Not The Sims, I won't. Because even though it's on my computer and not an online game, I have to have access to the internet to log-in so EA can spy on how long I play or something.
Glimmerbrook only has one neighborhood unless you count The magic realm which can't be built upon without cheats. Magnolia Promenade also only has one hood, but can be discounted because its meant for retail.
The third area should of been only the animal sanctuary
Growing together and horse ranch both seem like gamepacks worth of value to me. I don't think I'll be interested in rent at all.
Idkkkk this map kind of looks like AI to me. All the little houses are kind of funky
I mean, this is more neighborhoods then Vampires. it was what? One? With two neighboring families?
Vampires was a gamepack, tho.
@@LadyTati It was??? I thought EA was just being pricks.
Is this real? Somehow this rendering looks ai generated instead of it being done officially by the sims team
its definitely ai. look at any detailing and it looks sooo bad. its definitely not made by a human
I don't think you're awful. Maybe awfully cute. I enjoy your builds and your videos as well. I think this pack may very well have between 10 to 12 lots if this is in fact a legit map.
if you buy your packs from key seller websites, the EPs are often cheaper than GPs so i normally just get them from there lol
San Myshuno have 4 neighborhoods almost 5 because the park lot have its own set dressing different from other places. Windenburg have 4 too.
I dont mind the number of neighborhoods. San Sequoia could be better if they had put the Hopewell Hills lots in the other neighborhoods because that is one the worst neighborhood of the world.
Soooooo many packs should have been put into one fr; like I believe that Parenthood, growing together, my wedding stories and highschool years should have been ONE pack and just call it growing together.
Because right, all of these packs have similar features and all together they could have built up on one another!
I don't acc own any of these personally so I'm not sure on alllll the features, but honestly Growing together just feels like an expensive add on to Parenthood, like, who needs growing together if you have parenthood??
Personally, I am aiming to get all of the packs (on sale because that should be the real price) just for the different CAS and Build/Buy mode stuff, but from a gameplay pov there are so many packs that should have been included together (Like horses should have come with cats + dogs and Seasons should have been base game fr)
People need to boycott Sims 4 if they have problems with it but they still purchase it and EA reckons it as the game is doing well
This map looks like it was generated by AI, something is off about the art style
The buildings look all fucked up yeah
The map itself (if real) is beautiful but I’m hoping that some of that empty space at the bottom of the map is like two-three water based lots. It’s delusional on my part but I don’t think whatever gameplay comes with this pack will ever excuse 9 lots when they literally just said earlier this year or last year (idk when) that 12 was going to become the standard.
What I dislike about the newest worlds is the distance between lots. Growing Together was advertised as a neighbourly expansion, but your only neighbours are shells and one family the other side of the road ... I want the Willowcreek neighbourhoods.
Not you casually eating a burger and fries 😆
Love your Christmas bedding
I feel like they’re gonna argue that because of units there’s more buildings but like san muyshuno has so many builds and still has 4 neighbourhoods
I buy most packs in the end, but I always wait for reviews and based on reviews figure out how much I am willing to pay for it and just wait until the price matches. For example highschool years were on cd keys on black Friday offer for £11. So I got it today. Even my first pet stuff dropped to a price I was willing to pay (£0) 🤣🤣🤣. I understand that sometimes you want the content even if it's not worth the money but I'd say making a more wise mind decision to wait to get it when it's on offer atleast is worth it imo.
Ayyy seeing you having sims 2 and 3 🙌🏼🙌🏼
They keep giving us less and less and we keep telling them it’s absolutely fine with our money and then b*tch about it afterwards. 😭
Eu gostaria muito que Ts4 tivesse a ferramenta de criar/personalizar mundos. Ia ser tão incrível, escolher quantos lotes quiser colocar nos mundos, igual no Ts2, poder escolher em qual posição colocar esses lotes e decorar a vizinhança. Isso ia ser um sonho que infelizmente não é possível realizá-lo, mesmo que, exista um mod para editar mundos, bem, vocês entenderam, queria algo que o jogo nos proporcionasse. Ou então uma pegada "meio aberta" nos mundos, onde em cada região, no qual há um conjunto de casas, igual quando geralmente no próprio jogo temos uma breve descrição e uma localização em três pontos de regiões, esses poderiam ser semi abertos...
They'll 100% gonna defend it saying that it's actually as big as other worlds bc every lot is like a few smaller lots bc of the families living on one lot etc
I completely agree. Love the concepts, but each feels like a Game Pack - especially when you take the price into account. They'll have to change their ways for The Sims 5 or I think a lot of players won't move to it until it's much cheaper becaue of all of the money we've invested in The Sims 4 over the years. It's so disappointing.
Yeah, I had the literally downloaded 4 times redo my credentials to get my Sims4 ......and it was the first time I ever had done a legacy save file😅
the exception would be magnolia promenade if it even counts
It’s just like dream home decorator. A career. That’s it.
i really like the idea of having more households on one lot. it allows us to create lots and living situations that aren’t just suburban america….. which to me almost means it should have been a base game update. or a game pack at MOST. not… locked into an expansion pack :/
Well, considering you have to go to a loading screen any time you leave your house, does it matter how many neighborhoods there are? Considering this pack will allow you to have multiple households on one lot, if the lots are big, then you can actually pack a lot of Sims in each neighborhood--way more than you can have in a 3-neighborhood world now.
Im ready for EA to move on and discount all the Sims 4 stuff. I'll buy up all the packs and I'll get some mods and I'll just build my little world... Its like Rwby or Steven Universe; its disappointing but I'm already this deeply invested, might as well see it through to the end
So are you saying I should get a refund for my 2010 car I bought in 2012, because the New 2017 I just bought has a touch screen in it and the Old one built/manufactured 10+ years ago didn't come with it? Because based on the way everyone says, "should have come", well my old car should have come with what the new one has? Make the Math work....
We are drama loving ppl, if there isn’t drama we make drama lol
I am basically still here just for the drama, I lost interest in the sims some while ago when I realized I am expected to pay 1,000$+ just to not get bored within 10 minutes of booting up the game. There are so many cheaper ways to be entertained, watching EA drama unfolds is pretty much free
Don't know but this image gives me "Ai shit" generated especially when you zoom in and nothing makes sense and you can see just shapes clumped together.
Pretty sure it's Ai
I always like the video but sometimes i'll like then unlike so I can like again when you make a funny joke. from a recently new subscriber, dont stop being you❤
Guys, I think the map is smaller because the rest of the budget are spent on:
• QA testing to ensure that this pack has zero bugs
• Deep fleshed-out gameplay with lots of features
• Making the town feel more alive than ever with no Rabbit Holes or Set Dressing
• And dozens of new kinds of animals you can interact with in the Animal Sanctuary, all crammed inside one pack

EA needs to reflect on what it means to consider something an expansion pack, because there’s probably only 5 that I would consider to be
Modders really are the ones that give the expansion packs an expansion pack's worth of content, for example, in Horse Ranch you can have real Unicorns with magic, a Pegasus, a hippogriff, and camels, and a trait that lets horses float which is good for those winged horses, with all those different ridable animals and the added gameplay from Spinning Plumbob's Unicorn mod, it feels like a proper expansion pack. Unfortunately those not on PC can't experience the full gameplay feel due to not being able to use mods, which is really unfair considering how full the modders make the game feel. In fact a lot of things before they were packs existed in some kind of mod, going to school was a mod before Highschool Years, there was a werewolf mod before the werewolf pack was made, with mods you can have fairies, which Sims 4 still doesn't have. I think the best thing EA could do is let console players be able to use CC and mods, so console players can get the full gameplay experience.
This is one of many reasons why Life by you will blow the sims out of the water. Thank you for this update. I don't think I will be getting this one.😢
Regarding: it could have been an update to city living. YES! Just like horse ranch could've been an update to cottage living or cats and dogs and growing together could've been an update to parenthood. If you're just looking at the gameplay then yeah...Like bruh??
Your jokes makes all this EA shit bearable. Don't stop ever.
They're so excited to click on a tent and "haggle". 🙄
