LGR - The Sims 4 Snowy Escape Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 лис 2020
- Gameplay and overview of the TENTH expansion pack to The Sims 4. This time it's another vacation destination thing and it's based on Japan, mostly. Several trails to hike, hills to ski and snowboard down, and onsen baths to enjoy. Yeah, a pleasant idea and certainly pretty to look at, but let's just see if it's worth $40 though.

LGR's relationship with The Sims 4 is basically a tired marriage
It really is, for all of us really
You're a tired marriage
I this point I think they’re separated, but they keep in touch for the sake of the kids.
@Raphael Oliveira lol me too I haven't played the sims 4 since toddlers were patched in 😅
@Raphael Oliveira this is just me looking them up on Facebook see if they changed cuz I low-key want to get back together lol
You just skipped stars wars.. I guess we know why.
Dump pack
It was basically an advertisement for some new Disney ride. Classic EA/Disney move.
EA has a license to make star wars themed games and add-ons and it expires in a year or so
So the only reason the star wars pack even is in the Sims is because of the soon to expire license
@@rafgp It wouldn't be so bad if it actually, yknow, included things to do and wasn't just a huge set piece! :/ if you could live in Batuu that'd be amazing, if shops had people in them or it was more lively than the ads made it to be it'd have been cool. Also, WHY THE HECK can you *NOT* woo-hoo Kailo Ren? bullshit.
loooooooool
One taught me love: Sims 2
One taught me patience: Sims 3
One taught me pain: Sims 4
HAHAHA
Sims 5: thank u, next
Very heavy on patience
It's like a relationship. You learn to love, get married and expect a child, you have high hopes, but the next generation is just shit and now all you wanna do is just leave
The way this matched so perfectly 💀
They missed their perfect opportunity to add runnable hotels
That was my favorite part of Sims 3 😓
Its gonna be another game pack for .....30 dollars or something (AUD)
Too much effort for so "little" money
This comment is so true is almost makes me angry. I’m so disappointed in sims 4 everything
Honestly I just want to be able to work in a restaurant.
You know Star Wars was a bad pack when it wasn’t even worth LGRs time
No kidding, its been a while since he did a review come to think of it. To be fair.....that pack was a total SELLOUT pack so not worth anyones time or money unless you SERIOUSLY like star wars or batuu.
I don’t blame him for not wanting to spend the 20$ on a lame pack when we all know how that review would have went lmao. I got it on sale for $10 and still regret it
Surpassing Katy Perry's Sweet Treats is a real feat
Even pirates didn't bother with it
What’s wrong with it?
LGR reviewed Katy Perry's sweet treats, but not Journey to Batuu. That says a lot about the star wars pack.
Sweet Treats was at least an oddity. Most Sims 3 expansion packs were solid, and the stuff packs, while boring and overpriced, weren't downright insulting. So Sweet Treats ended up being strangely fascinating in what a bafflingly awful idea it was. Sims 4 has lowered the bar so much that everyone looks at Journey to Batuu and thinks "Oh look, yet another shameless cashgrab." I think what it says more than anything is that the standard for the series has plummeted to the point that something like that isn't even so bad it's interesting, just so bad it's tiring. People don't even bother dissecting it, because they know what's up and they're used to it.
@@WillcraftAnimations The Sweet Treats House of Pain is still a funny joke many years later. The Star Wars pack is also a joke, but it's not nearly as amusing.
@@ameliahipple4815 The Star Wars pack was just plain insulting.
If it had added a proper Jedi/ Sith life state and had been set in one of the older series timelines and had really in depth gameplay akin to a Sims 3 expansion pack I would not have minded the gimmicky nature of the pack. But that much money for such little effort seems insulting to ask for.
The star wars pack is shit. It‘s basically like a trip to Disneyland, with nothing memorable.
“Gotta reuse that woohoo animation somewhere” sounds like the Sims 4 Team motto since day 1 lol
I mean a tonne of the objects and animations in ts3 were ripped straight from ts2 so actually it’s been their motto since 2009 to be precise 😂
@@Jay-xr6dc Which ones are you talking about?
@@Jay-xr6dc Um... because the skeletons are different they had to redo absolutely every animation. They even say so in the developer's behind the scenes.
Get wicked whims makes woohoo alot more interesting
@@frenchbreadstupidity7054 Yeah the Sims 3, although pretty buggy at first, was actually an incredibly well made game with a very satisfying amount of detail, and easily the best game of the series. Far better than The Sims 4, that's for sure.
I don't like how we normalized paying $40 for a few hours of discovering a new location in game
Thats why i always wait for a sale to spend my money lol
@@yamap1 I don't own sims 4, nor do I intend to.
Edit: I love sims 3. I refuse to allow the shenanigans that sims 4 is doing. This pack just seems like seasons but only the winter and some asthetic stuff. If I wanted a Japanese aesthetic, I will find myself elsewhere.
@@rhiannonstrickland8943 i love the sims 3 aswell but im more familar with the sims 4, which is why i buy expansions etc. For the game. I only play it for about 2 hours so it's such a waste of money lol.
@@rhiannonstrickland8943 i’m the same, i love the sims 3 and sims 2 but the sims 4 has been doing the bare minimum constantly & the game itself is just a downgrade from the old game, be it mechanical or graphical, the sims 4 does it worse
“Normalized” yall are fucking annoying with that word.
Remember back when vacation expansion packs included multiple vacation destinations? Those were the days.
Or when expansion packs were so full it took you days or weeks to even find or try everything in a pack? Shoot, I went back to playing Sims 2 and 3 and am finding stuff I didn't find playing when those games were current, lol.
@@BooDotBoo Same! Thinking about playing sims 2 again now
Bon Voyage was one of my favorite Sims 2 expansions.
@@BooDotBoo this isn't an expansion or anything, but I was showing my friend who never played ts3 how it has an open world and wasn't going to keep playing that sim after so I didn't decorate the house. I didn't know sims can sit on the side of their bathtub and eat xD I've never had a house with no chairs at all so I'd literally never seen that and freaked a bit ahaha
This morning
This pack reminds me of Island Living - beautiful world and build mode but not much gameplay
Literally!! Instead of a sunny island place a snowy mountain place. 🙁
Unfortunately, that is the case for most of the Sims 4 packs. More emphasis on aesthetics and building instead of gameplay.
@@coolcandy2105 Basically every sims pack since sims 3 came out
Exactly... packs just look pretty but have no content now
But even then, I think Island Living had more than Snowy Escape. More CAS items, more build/buy items, more jobs (full, part, and odd), mermaids. While Snowy Escape has a visually stunning world that is definitely up there on having one of the best worlds, the pack itself I think is probably at the bottom when it comes to EPs.
If the shoe removal aspect was added to the Sims 2 back in the day, it would’ve included animation of them actually taking off their shoes
:/ sadly true..
Everything takes SO long to get done in ts4 tho, imagine standing around for an hour in game trying to get them to take their shoes off lol!
K V and then they’d have a “emotion animation” take place after that 10 minute lag 😂😂
@@micahcook2408 haha too true!
If it was added in Sims 3 it would have included animations (but only for teens through elders for some reason) AND death lol
Seriously, I think that game had more ways to die than any of the others lol
"Visually pretty but technically basic" is an excellent way to describe the vast majority of The Sims 4 content.
LGR it's saying from the pack iti's a destination pack like The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat, The Sims 4 Jungle Adventure and The Sims 4 Journey to Batuu at 12:13
I think you can say the same thing about nearly all of triple A games
@@iLlamas1 no you can’t.
0/10 - No Abominable Snowman to come out and eat you on the ski-slopes.
Ski faster!!
We really are in the worst timeline aren't we?
That would be Ski Free. This is Ski $40.
You can make sims wear a yeti outfit in the free Christmas pack. I know it isn't Christmas pack but that was the easiest word to click in the auto correct.
I love this comment! And I don't feel so old anymore.
The LGR Effect: When you can't wait to watch the review of a pack you have no intention of buying just because you want to hear Clint's take on it.
Thanks Clint for continuing to make these. I know it must be tedious to put so much work into reviewing all these repetitive, poorly-made Sims packs. We really do appreciate them!
I agree. I really wish he'd do the Star Wars pack :(
For real. I've never played Sims 4, and never will. But I watch all of these reviews
@@aleksattebery Yeah, I'd definitely like to hear his thoughts. I think he said on twitter that he'd probably do a video about it one day. But I get where he's coming from. It must feel like such a waste of time to put care and energy into reviewing a pack that even the developers put so little effort into making. I guess for Journey to Batuu it felt especially pointless because we all already know its crap! (Still, I'd love to hear him absolutely destroy it one day!)
@@candyak9985 yeah I get his reasons for not doing it I saw the tweet. I just want to laugh at him bashing it 😂😂😂
@@aleksattebery Oh agreed! Definitely! I'd be happy just to see unedited test footage of Sims doing random crap that breaks the Star Wars immersion hearing Clint's frustration/amusement in the background!
This pack is the sims 4: things that should have been in seasons and city living
Oh yeah..
Exactly thank you
Exactly, It literally is a snowy world, it would have made sense if it was included on the seasons pack. Or they could have just bundled it with island living instead of making them two separate packs.
Shut the hell up and appreciate something for once. Stop playing the Sims then! Go play Fortnite like the rest of the idiots.
@@cxlinaqx7320 they’ve done way more in one pack within Sims 2/3. Obviously people will be upset when the game itself does not have depth anymore and is more like a dollhouse rather than a replica of real life. Small animations like being in the ski lift will take time sure, but that’s just realistic. EA is giving yall less and less, and the more you eat it up, the less they will give for what was it? $60? For what exactly? lol. I’ll just stick with the other games that were actually made with love and effort. EA is a cash grab now, THEY do not deserve their customer base right now.
The lack of an LGR review for Star Wars IS the review itself
We're reaching levels of meta never before seen.
"coasting along as visually pretty but technicly basic" sums up The Sims 4 in general pretty spot on
That's pretty much EA, period.
Literally the only talent doing their job is the art department.
They are leaning more and more into building simulation than life simulation game
It's trendy to hate on the sims 4 now
@@biscuitcase83 It’s trendy because it’s true. A lot of people aren’t satisfied with The Sims 4 so that makes a trend. I think the only players “jumping on the trend” might be those that haven’t experienced the whole franchise or at least another sims game prior to TS4. But for the most part, i think many of us just agree that there’s room for improvement.
YET AGAIN The aesthetics are nice, but the gameplay is NOT
It’s probably because the sims gurus and EA assume only builders and people who exclusively play CAS play the sims and it sucks
Meh sims lost it since we saw what Sims 3 was
That's literally ALL Sims 4 is at this point. The fact that they had game changers help, but all those game changers are builders... sigh. It's like, they seem to only focus on the world, build/buy, and CAS.... gameplay is a complete afterthought and it really shows the longer this game is out. I'm just glad I stopped being addicted to the sims back during Sims 3; I'd be upset if all I was really paying for was set dressing. This game is too expensive to be as empty as it is.
The new gameplay features are coming in a future pack, OK??!??!! just buy all of them to find out which one ;)
Set Dressing is right! Barbie dream house, 0 Life simulation/GamePlay
Will Wright is probably crying right about how his game he created. He did amazing job with sims 1 and sims 2.
That goes for anything with his name that’s been managed by EA.
No he isn't crying cos he created second Life
@@MonstehDinosawr no he didnt lol.
Wait until you hear about that George Lucas guy...
What about 3 ??
wow, I can't believe this is supposed to be the equivalent of sims 2 bon voyage.. insane. I remember when buying a new expansion in sims 2 was like buying a new game. this is pathetic, I despise EA
Let's just talk about how The Sims 3: World Adventures had three destinations worlds too just saying
they could have AT LEAST bundled this pack with island living considering they're literally the same packs but with different aestethics.
@@cxlinaqx7320 Both are basically just vacation destinations, along with Jungle Adventures
They could've just made one big vacation pack instead of separating them all
@@cxlinaqx7320 In Sims 3 you had Al Simhara (Egypt), Champs Les Sims (France), Shang Simla (China) all in one pack
@@cxlinaqx7320 Adding to what everyone else has been saying, The Sims 2 also has THREE destinations in the Bon Voyage EP. The Sims 4 has separated them into their own packs but they don't have anywhere near as much gameplay put together as the EPs for The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. Moreover, with The Sims 2 and 3, you can create other worlds using assets from those EPs - you can't really do that with anything from The Sims 4. So really, the vacation EPs from The Sims 2 and 3 has much more bang for your buck than the three separate vacation packs from The Sims 4.
It looks like they just reused everything from spa day, city living, and fitness stuff. Barely anything truly new
Snowboarding or skiing down an actual mountain is new.
@@lannamcf 40 dollars for a ski animation ?
@@aomeke8368 Its got way more than a ski animation. Have you actually played the game?
@@lannamcf no some of us haven't as we're not paying $40 ($60 in my country) for ski animation alone and we're trying to determine what else it has before we even contemplate buying it on sale. Sentiments seem like the only other thing and they just seem like extended buffs - so still no real personality or chemistry for the sims and I don't see anything else new in any of the reviews or lets play.
@@Miluielle Yeah that is true but that is the reason I got the cracked game which has all DLCs for free if you want to know more on how to get it visit @ Layton Bowling page 🥰
Oh dear, here we go again. At least, Ralph will be fine for now.
Ahh shit, here we go agen, Rollin Heights LGR Country...
I was waiting for this!!! I was actually confused about the reviews from the community but you helped me understand more now.. to be honest I don’t think I’ll get anything until the game is bug freeish, I don’t even have the platform update.. I refuse to play with out mods! Thanks LGR
Ralph
a. is dead
b. only is for Stuff Packs. This was an Expansion Pack
I don't think much more can be done to Ralph after he was lit on fire.
Rest in pieces, Ralph.
In all honesty, if outdoor retreat, jungle adventure and snowy escape were all rolled up into one 40 or even 50 dollar expansion pack, LGR would end up with the most positive review since the sims 3 days
I agree i remember the days of sims vacation/on holiday while the world was just a single word it felt like 3 worlds in one with the snowy areas, the beach areas and the camping areas. Yes there’s *a little* more detail in the sims 4 locations but it would be so much better if they were all together
Sometimes I wonder if the sims team ever gets bored when playing their own game🤔
Pretty sure they don't even play their own game lmao
@@Ocean_Lord_derpfish oh for sure. in order not to be cruel parents they make their kids play Minecraft & IMVU instead
Watch the livestreams for these few recent expansion packs, I can tell they were bored as hell
They’d have to play it to get bored
@@Ocean_Lord_derpfish Exactly what I've been thinking since I bought it. Maxis does not play this. The unpaid interns just pump out expansions in their little dark basement.
I remember when the community was *praising* Maxis for reskinning the science table for kids instead of selling us the activity table for the sixth time.
I mean, the bar has never been so low for 40€ DLCs in the industry.
The Sims 4 community will literally praise them for recolored dirt and then call anyone who criticizes it ungrateful. Their bar is in hell at this point. It's like they've never played any other Sims game.
In the words of rodrick heffley "if you set their expectations low, you never have to actually do anything"
Is the bar low enough, to not require barstools? That might have been appropriate.
EA always targets the simple minded audiance that let themselfs easily milked by a new Fifa or Sims game.
And it annoys me how SOME simmers are so skeptical about Paralives like yes it is so possible to make a game THAT good. Ea just made u think it's not
I'd love to see you do a revisited Sims 3 review. Like, review the whole experience, expansions and everything put together. I feel like after 6 years of Sims 4, Sims 3 is looking a lot better.
Or Sims 2
Yes Sims 2
I got tired of Sims 3 by the end of it. Sims 4 I'll never play again. I tend to think the games need more to do...not just in terms of animations but making a few things a mini game, maybe not everything but some of it. Give us some input. Maybe even letting us ignore that input if we don't want to do it and it randomises based on how the sims are and their skills if they pull it off/have a good time whatever. I dunno, when the whole thing is click something and an animation plays it gets old. I'd like to take part in that animation, you know, like a game.
@@sandpiggreybaby Certainly. As it is, it's all quite empty.
If my sims 3 worked I would be only playing it atm .
"Japan, but not really"
This title is actually fit for Snowy Escape lol
Says the idiot who can't even spell "Escape".
Especially when they took away certain traditions from the pack due to Koreans getting so overly sensitive about the contents shown in the trailer.🙄
@@keijijohnson9754 hmm why the hell korean getting sensitive?
@@canofsteelcan6795 cause Korea and Japan have very bad blood
@@canofsteelcan6795 it’s in their history that makes both countries very bitter towards each other
The amount of public woohooing promoted by the sims is... impressive
The best thing is getting a household member to walk in on it and they freak out, meanwhile the couple keeps going! Lmfao!
Plot twist: The sims 4 is a p*rn game With real life simulators mechanics
PuBlIc iNdEcEnCy!
@@lanteler3202 if you have wickedwhims installed, that is ;)
"Journey to Disneyworld" xD
aka what that Star Wars pack should have been
@@starzzzy22 Of course!
I'd prefer Journey to Disney World tbh
It literally is. The world is the Star Wars section of Disneyland!
@@CrazyForFrogs Had they tacked on the lot trait amusement park and tossed in some random unrelated space rides that we could build into the world of batuu, then it wouldn't have been such a useless pack. It made a good stuff pack though.
What? No abominable snow monster to eat my skiers?
if they do make one, it's probably just gonna be a sim in costume lol like that bear in outdoor retreat and the raccoons in city living
Don't give EA any ideas.
The perfect Sims game:
The music and dry humor from Sims 1.
The depth and detail of Sims 2 expansions.
The core gameplay and create-a-style-feature from Sims 3. But stable.
The character design, fashion and small details from the Sims 4. As well as the addon content tiers. (I actually enjoy gameplay packs the most.)
@Sarah Absolutely. I should play all those games again to get a more profound and factually correct opinion on this but one of the interesting aspects of The Sims (and its spin offs, yes) was the outdated yet timeless nature of all the objects and fashion in it. Its not just about referencing 2000's stuff but a weird mixture of everything that came before that as well.
I would say that every main game after the first one tried to include more and more contemporary stuff. The Sims 4, especially, is trying so hard to be totally up-to-date and hip that it makes me cringe sometimes.
@@BenTenpenny They're so up to date that the forgot to add washing machines and dryers to the base game lol. I guess they wash their clothes in the bathtub like the 20's
Disagree. Sims 3 had the strongest expansion packs. They had the most about of content, depth and lore. I also want lively Sims 3 open worlds.
LGR - I can hear the burnout all in your voice but please know that most of us value your opinion more so than any other UA-cam Sims reviewer. We appreciate what you do, thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you for still committing to doing these reviews even with your feelings towards the Sims 4 as a whole. I really appreciate the time and dedication that could be spent elsewhere and I really value your opinion! 💖💖💖
So this is a pack that has been getting praised to high heavens by the community and I think it has nothing to do with its actual content. I find this pack very lackluster for 40$ especially because tons of the things that came out around the time this EP came out, were free updates. Platforms, Sentiments, Rental lots are all free updates, yet because they came out at around the same time and were much requested features people fail to realize that this pack in itself, doesn't offer much. Especially after Journey to Batuu became so hated it the contrast makes the pack seem even better, simply because it's not a terrible as Batuu.
tbh it's fine, i'm enjoying it. Probably bc i'm more of a builder so this pack really has a lot for me. I also love Japan and this pack is probably my most anticipated addition. As far as gameplay, i love what they added but i feel like they could've added a lot more and left some of the things they took out. The shrine bowing could've stayed with the option of not bowing, taking selfies in front of gravestones with the result of being embarassed could've stayed. Include also the possibility of bringing your deceased loved ones to the graveyard. I would've loved for the train to be a usable form of transportation. I would've loved for a macha making mini skill, a martial arts skill, a calligraphy skill, i think they could've also put something to represent buddhism, not just shinto. They should've also included a Chouzu-ya to purify your hands before praying, i mean they say "build your sanctuary" but there is no praying, no worshipping, nothing of the sort, maybe have a temple with monks from whom you can learn ancient knowledge. Maybe also add the mangaka active career, when you can draw comics for a living from your home and sell them. Kinda like Island Living, this pack is great for builders but gameplay-wise it felt a lot deeper in the trailers....
@@mygetawayart Now that you mentioned it, a martial arts or calligraphy skill would've elevated the pack already, especially since we got martial arts in Sims 3 too.
40 dollars, wow
Well they did bring actual simmers on board to build the lots. Whether that’s lip service to the community or not I don’t know. But still any world without EAs atrocious standard builds is pretty good in my book
I also believe this pack has been getting high praise from the community because the community partially worked on it; a couple of Sims UA-camrs built the lots for the pack so they certainly won't criticize it. I feel like the Sims community is so used to getting sh*tty packs that whenever they get something decent they're over-enthusiastic but in reality, EA is just doing a bad job with the series ... I'm glad LGR still continues to do these because I might be the only honest Sims reviewers online, and I know he said in another video that he was invited by EA to be part of the "game changers" program, or whatever it is called, and he refused to be as truthful as possible when it comes to reviewing their packs.
"Journey to Disneyworld" is the most review we're getting, I guess. 😂😂
I actually burst out laughing at that part 😂😂
When did he said that again??
Clint you’re the only one I trust to give a solid verdict on these things. Thanks to your reviews I’ve managed to save hundreds I otherwise might’ve splurged on this cheap diorama of a game
if that’s you in the pfp then you’re really cute :)
@@Aliieist too kind thank you
I wait for sales at this point. Most of the games I bought were on sale... Like right now as I try to take advantage of the current sale lol
Ahhh yes the famous "should have been added to other DLCs" DLC, just what you expect from EA
They should have added it to the last "Should Have Been Added to Other DLCs" DLC.
It's always a good day when LGR uploads a Sims 4 video.
I love how every time a new Sims 4 pack comes out, Lgr sounds more and more tired and frustrated in his videos (I don't know if it's just me lol. No hate!). I get him tho. EA is doing the exact opposite of what we want. "Oh you want colorwheel, bunkbeds and cars back?? TOO BAD, have a update/$40 pack instead that contains NONE of those features!"
eah back at the beginning of the SIm 4 run he like it enough that EA gave hhim review copies. That was until he started to be honest and not all sunshine and rainbows about every bloody crum EA spoonfed their audince.
"but is it worth $40?"
Me, instantly: "No."
I actually LOLed when he said that. I can't believe they're charging $40. What a joke
@@greenthumb373 $51 if you're in canada LOL
I got it for free.
Literally the only sims UA-camr I trust anymore. All the EA game changers are brainwashed lmao. I remember lil simsie literally said that we should buy star wars for the flooring and that the sims team "cares more about the sims than you do".
I appreciate you Clint.
Plumbella is pretty fine.
@@thawkade Pleasant Sims is also pretty ok
@@Wkterr Didn’t know she was a game changer. But she’s great
@@thawkade Oh, you're right, she's not a game changer. My mistake!
When did she say that?

You fine af
Carl's Sims is good, too. He and LGR are the only ones I truly trust at this point.
You're not the only one.
Yeah screw lilsimse getting paid to give positive reviews!!!
"Simply wait to grab it on sale"
Bold of you to assume I have ever bought a sims 4 pack at full price.
There’s even more reused stuff that you didn’t metion. This is a recycling pack, now they are recycling content instead of trash.
we should have seen the signs the last ep was literally about recycling
Recycling Pack 2 - the first was Eco Lifestyle. 😒
I cannot believe they're still making expansions. It's insane.
well they've pretty much concluded that everyone who was going to buy Sims 4 has already bought it, so they either have to make Sims 5 and try to fix all the horrible mistakes they made in Sims 4....or milk the SHIT out of the people who did buy Sims 4.
They have until paralives and whatever Sims game paradox is cooking up comes out to actually have to try.
@@ZanathKariashi true. I even got sims 4 for free from EA. I guess they did that to make people buy expansion, proving that the base game isn't a full game.
@@ZanathKariashi The Sims 5 is coming for another year a bet 🤷♂️
I'm a Call of Duty fan and I just recently got into the Sims 4 in September. I think it's great that a game that came out in 2014 still has content being released but I think 6 years is due for new game. Call of Duty is extremely repetitive because of it's yearly releases and I skipped a bunch of them after Ghosts and only recently got back with Modern Warfare. Some series like that should just release a game every 4 years and just keep adding content for the players. It also sucks when games like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls come out and all DLC is released within a year and then you have to wait another 4 years for new content in form of a new game
Heh, heh, you know what would be good, TO HAVE SOME EMOTIONS IN THIS DIGITAL ASS WE CALL A GAME!!!!
Man Sims 4 still doesn't hold a candle to 3 or even 2.
Sims 4 has features that are incredible that 2 and 3 didn't have (my most important one, by far, being multitasking)
Meh, I disagree. I still only have the base game because I'm still mad at these prices
But there's alot of stuff 4 has expanded on or done better. Definitely check out those comparison videos. Each game drops the ball on stuff, and each shines somewhere else.
@@OnionTheBat Excuse my French, but you are a tremendous idiot.
Pay careful attention to the multitasking feature you're praising. Watch your Sims eat food while chatting or watch TV while chatting. You'll quickly notice that infact, the multitasking system is little more than a basic program that tells them to cycle back and forth between the two actions. When they're watching TV, they're not chatting. When they're chatting, they're not watching TV and the fun meter stops. Thus, in an ironically pathetic way, Sims 2, Sims 3 and *EVEN SIMS 1* have more advanced multitasking than Sims 4, because all three could combine social + TV/eating whilst Sims 4 does those worse. Sims 4 has to cycle out everything and has *ZERO* instances of multitasking where your Sims are truly doing two things simultaneously.
You are praising a feature that factually doesn't exist. You've been swindled by their marketing and have been blind to the reality in front of you.
rude, didnt need to call em an idiot, just say the rest. Thats why i hate you previous sims players, yall are mean to people who have their OWN OPINIONS! (WOW, HOW DARE THEY!)
@@OnionTheBat
Sims 3 and 2 had multitasking though... it was such a little thing that no one commented on it and it wasn't even the entire selling point of said games.
"Now come, and let's all enjoy a traditional American meal around the traditional American kotatsu."
"Eat your cheeseburgers, Cassandra."
I understood that reference.
Remember when something like this would have been apart of seasons expansion pack ?
Remember when simmers actually liked the game instead of complaining like Karens and appreciate the game they have? Shut up, dunce. Smh..
Just because the world has some snow doesn't mean it belongs in seasons LMAO
@@iinoona8150 yeah because past games actually have some contents, that's why most simmers in the past didn't complain much. Now they just keep on taking stuff out and selling back to us seperately, remember the 'my first pet stuff pack' ? They could've made this into a feature on the season expansion but they didn't because simmers just keep eating these things up
@@dundee6402 it could've been though. Think about it, there could've been a snow themed resort only available in winter, that could've been a cool feature or maybe merge this with the jungle adventure game pack and it could work too as a vacation expansion pack, heck the spa day game pack could be merged with this too, i mean this is a resort themed pack right? Most resorts have spas right ?
@@khoavo510 Okay. Stop complaining about the game. If you don't like it, don't play it . If you don't play it, what hell are complaining for?
40$? Holly crap i can buy a entirely new game for that amount.
Is 50 where I live.... but manged to get 2 packs while they were on sale so only 50 dollars for them both.
Just 4 more dollars and I can buy Cyberpunk 2077 on local store
Edit: even when Cyberpunk become Cyberbugs, it's still better than this crap lol.
Aren't all the expansions $40? Wait till it's on sale then, you broke ass dunce.
Even on sale, they're not worth the discount price.
Finally, someone doesn’t mention the fact that the builds were made by popular simtubers because I’m growing tired of having that fact shoved down our throats a little too much
Although to be fair the builds in the previous Sims 4 packs have been downright god awful. It's an improvement for us players who are terrible at building.
At least they were built by people who actually care to make nice lots. The maxis lots were getting worse and worse every new release.
I think thats why everyone praise it for been made my other player and not made by EA as EA can´t build homes.
in fact several homes are barely functional meaning Sims would die in them or have other problem. something the player can´t see as none player sims are more or less static.
like in one of the building the Kitchen dont work. so sims have to eat yoghurt 24/7.
the ones here all works all looks good. every room is made for something.
for real like honestly thats cool for them, i’d probably feel a lil proud, but who gives a shit. an expansion pack world should have nice builds. its not that big of a deal.
i feel like we kind of need to talk about the fact that all of them were white though. theyre good builders but i feel like it was a missed opportunity to highlight some builders of color, especially someone who is japanese themselves. probably wouldnt have been too hard to find if they had bothered to look.
Lets be honest, this stuff should have also been included in the Seasons expansion packs.
Next up, we'll have Fall Escape.
FALL ESCAPE PLEASE
😂😂😂
I totally was thinking this! There’s not even a new town in Seasons. They oughta be ashamed of themselves!(I’m only here because these packs are on sale right now, most are half off and I’m considering getting this one). The sale would happen two days after I just talked myself into buying get together 😭😭
I was so shocked by the community's positive view on this. It just looks so... Boring. The build mode stuff is cool, but the coolest stuff like split levels and lifestyles came in a free update.
It's been known that the community has low standards now lmao
I love the aesthetics but it seems super dull with the skiing, I already hate the ice skating cause it seems pointless. I like skills you can earn money on the most.
Some players just consume anything at this point,hell,people were defending a pack about a fucking wedding party,what do you expect from them honestly?
@@randomperson093dont know which depths you went to find defenders for wedding (horror) stories lmao
Finally another LGR review, too bad we didn't get to see him tear apart the Star Wars pack
He said why on his Twitter

@@100billionsubscriberswithn4 He basically said it wasn't worth his time. He bought it, but even for a review he couldn't bring himself to do it for a glorified Disney advertisement.
LGR said I’M TIED
Tbh watching your Sims 4 reviews feels WAY more enjoyable than purchasing and playing the game itself
It is, trust me. When I play it, I legit only play for like an hour before realising I could be playing a much better game
A missed opportunity to add futons in this pack, could've been as easy as having an extra interaction with the closet to take one out (which would be added to the sims inventory). If you click on it in the inventory you would get Place in World/ Put Away (which makes your sim put it back into the closet). If placed then you could Sleep/ Nap/ Put in Inventory/ Put Away and ofc Wohoo With..
Sims 4 is just a big-ass photoshoot, really.
5:53 Probably the most subtle Calvin and Hobbs reference ever, and I appreciate it!
I watch these for LGR and haven't played Sims 4 in years. I'm surprised they're still releasing these packs.
Its a tragedy.
have you seen the official sims channel? people get so excited over the most generic packs that it makes me feel old.
they get so happy I wish I was that naive
idk how people still feel compelled to buy a copy of Sims 4, all those DLCs are an overbearing burden specially for people like me who can't stand having an incomplete game, granted i always look for discounts and "ultimate/complete" editions but damn, this game is just so bloated with dlcs i don't see a discount in this world worth taking to buy the whole thing.
the community is still thriving and for young teens who exclusively play the sims, dropping 40 for some japanese weeaboo shit doesn't sound too bad. I mean it's not their own money so they probably don't care anyway
@@D0NU75 After sims 3 I thought I would never play again, I had most of the packs. But then quarantine struck and S4 was 90% off and EPs were 50% off , so I got base game and 2 eps for less than 50$. There is no way I’d pay full price for any of it. I’m having fun, but I can’t see myself playing years and years like I did S2 and S3. It’s quite sad.
Somewhere in heaven, Ralph is being spiritually mutilated because EA just won’t stop. The poor guy can’t earn a pair a wings like all the other angels.
Ralph was doomed to eternal hell from the start. Most tragic character in human history, HE DESERVES JUSTICE!!

WE MISSED U!
I still feel personally attacked by that shoe animation.
"That's a choice... But whatever moving on-"
Do you think they have this on a motivational poster at the sims team office? The animation for taking off shoes certainly looks like it....
So disappointed...
I really expected the Ski Lift to be a naughty location.
oh i hadn’t even thought about that, what a missed opportunity :(
“Oh my, oh my”
Same, but then I remembered this was EA and not Maxis.
@@BooDotBoo True, though I'm afraid that in this day and age most large developers wouldn't want to burn their hands on this kind of thing. Things are too serious these days. In the old days even EA was much more edgy like with "Road Rash". And I doubt Ubisoft would even consider releasing a game like "Playboy the Mansion" these days.
a huge letdown… the teleportation is another this that breaks the immersion
After installing this , I had a weird bug where no matter who used a stove it would start a fire, 100 percent of the time, I tested it for like an hour. After restarting the game completely it stopped. It was mildly funny.
Damn, I would make a lot of torture chambers if that happened to me
That sounds what was happening to my sim as I was doing an off the grid challenge (with toddlers) and she was at LVL10 cooking and the stove kept catching fire every time, burning the cabinet beside it... I took away the stove after it did it the 3RD TIME in a row and It being costly to repair XD
I've heard they had to do an emergency patch, and it's still not working well for lots of people.
There’s a void in my life without your reviews 🥺
"It's effectively gambling but who cares?"
Certainly not EA
I'm dead, lol.

Sims 4 is an EA money grab, Will Wright must be wishing he never let EA touch his beloved game.
just gonna say, I miss your sims reviews like this so much!!! but I respect you probably don't wanna buy them anymore, they are not awesome lol
I was actually worried that you quit doing this after the Star Wars pack, but I am so happy that you came back for this. 💗
The King has returned. For now, at least.
please come back lgr we miss you
He's still posting. Just not Sims stuff atm
Yet again, packs are only worth it at 50% off- I just wait few months for these things to go on sale
Yes to this. Bought this at 50% off and still feel a bit robbed.
I just got this for 16 dollars
LGR, we've missed you, sir! Your reviews are the only ones I trust and value.
Like okay this pack is not that bad. But the point is that we need a base game update. WE WANT DEPTH, NEW INTERACTIONS...NOT REPETITION OF OLD CONCEPTS CMON
Exactly!
Or just channel those resources into a new game instead of a game that's six years old. Sims 4 released in 2014. Sims 5 is still in the 'conceptual' phase according to EA...
@@celston51 A new game won't fix the problem. The real issue at this point is EA and whoever it is who decides what makes sims "fun." Whoever is in charge made the core game of sims 4 broken, and if they are in charge of sims 5, they will do it again.
It isn't that bad, BUT it is highlighting the fact that pretty much every pack is half done; it doesn't add enough to really be an expansion pack. This should have been a game pack, at most.
@@anomalytenacious Yes! I don't get why people think Sims 5 is going to be so much better. If it's the same team, deciding how we should play, it is going to be more of the same, but different. How does anyone think it's going to be better when this team still hasn't learned from the mistakes they are making now? They also keep adding packs and patches when they need to fix the core issues of this game.
Modders are carrying Sims 4.
Paralives: has an option to take off shoes indoors
EA: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!!!
Paralives even has the animations to remove shoes, but The Sims 4 doesn't.
Write that down and try to make it as shitty as possible!!!!!
I haven't watched much on this pack, so i had NO idea that to take their shoes off there is just a frickin' tornado that takes them away?? I am DONE
Multi billion company btw
@@SovietRipper exactly, i mean what on earth am I paying for? They cannot even do a single animation? I know Modders have already done it, as usual they pick up the mess that EA puts down.
In fact most of these animations in this pack are all just re-skins. It blows my mind honestly!
This is the entire Sims4 experience. Sims 1 had better animations. Sims 4 doesn't even try anymore, they just slap a random effect and call it a day. Another example is how The Sims 2 and 3 snowmen get properly destroyed with great animations, and Sims 4 just reused an old fighting animation and the snowman just fades away.
And besides new sport activities, EVERY SINGLE INTERACTION from this pack uses the exact same recycled animations that were in previous packs that we already paid for. The woohoo in a cave uses the closet woohoo animation from Get Together, the Onsen bathhouse is literally a reskin Spa Day pack, the train station shown in the GAMEPLAY trailer for this pack is non-interactable, completely useless. The ski lift is a rabbit hole, there's barely anything to do on top of the mountain summit. At this point, they're charging their consumers over $40 (including taxes) for reskins, that's literally it
Am I the only one that gets tired of playing with most of these new packs in less than a day?
If you mod the hell out of your game, you'll get a solid 1+ hr of decent gameplay
@@asideofaioli4630 that's the sad thing abt the sims 4 tbh

It's sad ... I miss Sims 3 ... I feel like there was so much more to it. But my computer does not run it whatsoever ... I'm HOPING my new computer will so I can switch between Sims 3 and 4.

I'm hoping to add mods to help though.
@@bookmarkyourthoughtsblog sims 4 has all the others beat in graphics and that’s about it. sims 3 will always be the better game in my humble opinion. i’m lucky enough to have been someone who never had many issues with it so going back to it has always been a joy. i’m so done with 4. i wish they’d just give up and get to work on 5.

Next Up: The Sims 4 Japan but Not Really Stuff (Snowy Escape Required)
No they'll release a stuff pack: Mountain stuff
Your reviews are a go-to before buying any pack lol. I was on the fence about buying Snowy Escape bc I thought build/buy and lifestyles were cool, but the gameplay was lacking. Will definitely wait for the sale now!
A game bought on sale to EA is still a sale, especially since MANY simmers think like you, it’s still money in their pockets. I’ve never understood this reasoning among simmers.
@@stop08it I'm not buying it on sale to boycott/spite EA. I'm buying it because based on the content I don't think it's worth the current price, but I would be willing to purchase it for less.
Now that they are going to release paid small kits for the sims 4, Ralph is not losing limbs no he is being grinded to dust at this point...
I love how this game has been out for six years and they still haven't figured out cars or electric guitars. But vacation packs where there's nothing new to do? Hell yeah that's totally possible!
They really couldn't have at least had your sim teleport into the car, and have them ride the lift up the hills??
According to EA, it would cost too much, they don't have enough team members for it, and no one wants to see that boring animation.
I mean I really disslike that it isn't there but knowing how weird the sims timescale is (things like eating at home sometimes taking several hours) it's probably for the better.
Just me that never plays the sims but i still watch all of LGR's sims reviews
I won't judge you
Ralph doesn't feel pain anymore. Infact, Ralph doesn't feel anything at all...
I love how "rock climbing" and "mountain excursions" actually doesn't really matter because callmekevin did it like it was nothing and did it while his Sims felt uncomfortable 🤣
