Yah gotta put a lot of those Get Together closets in so you can make people over. Or get a Style Influencer sim to fix everyone/create some good neutral trends
the romantic one is pretty much the same but i'd say the non-committal one is a bit different since non-committal affects even jobs and other areas and it seems like the one theyre adding is just focused on relationships/romantic relationships.
Exactly I’m mainly excited about the cas items I’m seeing the straight hair with the blonde the claw clip styles, tattoos, that shirt with the transparent croptop is super cute I’m hoping there’s way more cas items though sense that would be the only thing that would make it worth anything and it’s a dating themed pack it should definitely have a BUNCH of cas items
I’m a hopeless romantic and this definitely would be my type of expansion….BUT I’m concerned that this new dating system will be buggy and mess up the old date night system already in base game. We saw what happened to weddings if you got My Wedding Story, I felt bad for all the simmers who couldn’t enjoy weddings anymore As usual I will stick to watching James Turner 😅 I base my purchases off his gameplay videos
i still feel like this should be a game pack... also im sceptical about the traits and aspirations, their descriptions sound similar to things that we already have. but i really like the relief of the couple that is shown in some screenshots, it looks like a pretty location. also they guy in a firefighter costume lying on a bear rug..... i know its nothing scandalous but sims 4 is so pg that i was actually kinda suprised
We used to have a sexy cuddling on a bear skin rug I think in Sims 1 I wonder if we'll get anything like that. That would be really great for the outdoor retreat cabins
@@Ready-ForTheEnd Yeah I think Sims 1 was generally the most risque even though you mostly made a baby by kissing a lot. It was definitely more aimed at adults then. I understand there are limits now that their audience is somewhat younger (and geez some Gen Z teens really seem easy to scandalize) but still hoping there's some fun new romantic interactions. Also the romance skill sounds like a slightly less risque version of the woohoo skill they considered initially having in Sims 4. Though giving everyone else a romantic mood might be annoying in some cases especially party goals where you are supposed to get people in specific moods
So you can have dates in base game and functioning dates that have logic, so no random Sims talking to Sims while they have romantic actions, but only in DLC? Okay, that's kinda dirty move EA..
Yeah this annoys me, that part at the very least should be a base game update. Random sims interrupting dates shouldn't have been a thing to begin with...
@@Dr_Sleepenstein Maybe we should make a collective list of stuff that should never been a thing and sign it with our EA ids, then send it to them, they won't have to tell us they're searching for bugs 😂
You people think everything should be a base game patch or update but the developers deserve to get paid, should we not pay restaurants because "everyone should be able to eat"?
So let’s be clear: no new lot types, a non-active career, traits that sound a lot like the already existing “romantic” and “unflirty” traits, a romance skill that’s basically the same as the charisma skill (not to mention the many mods that do this more in depth too), and sky/star gazing that’s just recycled the option for cloud gazing. Edit: not being interrupted on dates should be a fix for the game, not a pay walled “feature”
Connection the Gallery screams broken to me. Unless the Gallery is getting a huge overhaul. Idk how the dating app is going to pull sims from the Gallery successfully. Not only that it seems obvious they’re trying to push people to be online more often to boost EAs numbers.
There are hundreds of free mods that already give you the main selling points- not only that, but I feel like the gallery feature will leave simmers that don't have every pack stuck with a bunch of bald/partially naked sims on dates.
People always forget about console players! Good for you if you have mods but SOME of us are stuck on console so this is actually good news! The only worry is how buggy its going to be.
I think having to woo reserved sims will be a nice extra challenge. Sometimes I feel like it's too easy to romance them. Like right now you can meet someone and get married in one day, this will hopefully make it a bit more realistic. 😂
@@karisab9613 Hopefully Sims can't text you back "ok" or I'll have PTSD lol. I do hope we can have our Sims 'chat' with matches some before going on dates. Not necessarily in a way we can read bc Social Bunny gets repetitive but as an action to increase their relationship some
@@StarlightEdithExactly. I really want to like this pack but the more leaks we get, the more concerned I get. I'm worried this is just going to be a recycle of things we already have. Those two aspirations sound like the two romance ones we got in the base game. The love bug trait is very similar to the romantic trait and the reserved trait sounds a lot like the unflirty trait, as you mentioned. Also, this is just my take and I could be wrong but I feel that when we get a lot of leaks for a pack it usually means the pack isn't very good. When we get little to no leaks the pack is often great. I've noticed this happen a few times. Maybe it's just a coincidence but it makes me wonder.
Maybe a game pack but if they give us a big world, tons of clothes and traits, new interactions etc Kinda make sense why they make it as an expansion pack instead
No, especially because 90% of the aspects this pack has have already been added to the game by modders years ago. It feels like they saw popular mods, and thought they could make people pay for them to be in game, taking advantage of console players and loyalty.
The fact they have to mention other sims won’t crush the date 💀 Also, it would be *meaningful* for the other sim to end a date early if the relationships were two sided.
I dont feel like this should be an expansion, but its still really cool! Although I have noticed some of the cas and buildmode look like remeshes and recolours of other pack items.... Only to be expected ig🤷
"EA wants it to leak" no shit..people been saying this for a long time. It's intentional because they know YTbrs and content creators TALK ABOUT IT - which gives attention to the game
I wonder what makes the new traits different from the current “Romantic” (base game IIRC) and “Unflirty” (City Living IIRC) traits. I’m also curious about cross-pack compatibility, particularly with growing together.
A date ending early if it is not going well is actually a feature from The Sims 2. I remember frantically trying to please and entertain my date just so I can keep the timer extending when it's about to drop. It was quite stressful, so let's see how they do it in Sims 4.
This is a weird marketing gimmick and I'm not sure why they keep doing it. They could just be honest that they want to announce these packs in stages. Step one announce pack with little to no info. Step two show a bit more information and concepts. Step 3 final reveal. This "OH NO a leak!!" Is very 2016.
i think ea has given me ptsd squared bc i'm hearing all these new features and my brain instantly starts thinking of all the ways that feature can/possibly will break or bug out 🤦♂
Literally just got done watching one video I swear five seconds before this one thank you for the content you’re doing an awesome job one of my favorite channels to get information
I’m very excited for this! This feels more like growing together which definitely felt like it EXPANDED my world and characters. It is completely cross pack and base game compatible so it could work with anyone’s game play style! I’m impressed :)
EA grow the f up. We are not children. Just be straight up and tell us what is coming. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong because I only play the Sims, but do other games companies do this crap. It’s so immature.
Not exactly sure how the whole gallery thing is going to work.. That sort of worries me for some reason. Is that going to automatically place Sims my Sims match with into our library? Bc I don't want that tbh.. lol
Call me controversial but I wouldn’t mind if it was, like it makes it easier to follow each other without getting official spoilers if you want to avoid but I like the immersion of the ‘leaks’ it makes it a little bit more exciting and entertaining
I love this even though I am on PC I personally don’t like mods they are nice and very talented people but to have this in the game without the game breaking with mods is a game changer for me. I can’t wait
Yeah the current dating apps available with mods are kind of hookup focused and not great for browsing and finding partners for Sims. Some of the turn on/turn off systems are cool but a lot of the time you have to reset them every time you update. And custom made animations sometimes have more clipping or they sort of jump into them. I do like Lumpinou's RPO mod for some added realism and the expanded woohoo/woohoo drive systems are a fun addition but I'd also like something more official and cute to go with it
I must say I'm quite excited for this pack, as most of my play is relationship/family oriented. HOWEVER, I will not be jumping on it as soon as it drops. The sensible Simmer will wait until at least the first bug fix patch comes out, because there's zero doubt in my mind that there will be bugs. Many, many bugs. But once the kinks are worked out? Gosh, I'd finally be getting rid of my SimDa dating app!
I would love to see an imaginary friend pack where you can customize your kids imaginary friend and you can only see the imaginary friend when playing on that child so each child could have their own that they could build skills with various interactions.
I want to see 1. Crushes for children and teens 2. Zodiac signs & more relationship choices for CAS in the base game update 3. More activities for the dates, such as pottery,ceramics, card table games etc
1. crushes exist with high school years 2. zodiac signs wont do much and more relationship choices in cas is so smart 3. pottery and ceramics is such a great suggestion
I’m gonna ignore all the same comments that get posted every single time. But I will say, was that a costume trunk to dress up for role play??!? The guy was in a fireman suit on the blanket! 😂 excited
The new dance looks like it might be the same one from jungle adventure, hope I'm wrong though. The other interactions are already in the game, show off fitness, gaze at stars/clouds.
The fish guy! 🤣 And the arm tattoo that looks like 3 tattoos of your exes' names crossed out and the new partner's underneath! I did not expect it to be this funny. However, I am worried about the date system being buggy and messing up all conversations.
Honestly I’m just kinda underwhelmed. As someone who prefers playing with big families and making my sims fall in love, I even don’t get why we’re getting a romance pack. I mean if anything most of these features should have been rolled out with My Wedding Stories pack. I also don’t get how they could miss the chance to either give us a proper Italian world with Gondola rides like TS3 or Paris with a romantic Eiffel tower. It just feels like we’re mostly paying $40 for recycled animations with no real added gameplay. Like this would have been the perfect time to introduce MORE dating activities, like mini golf, romantic picnics, a surprise table proposal (TS2), etc.
this honestly seems like one of the fullest expansions we’ve gotten in a while, i’m still not paying full price for it but i’ll definitely be purchasing it. hopefully it’s not to buggy
Also I feel like when I find a really great mod that does things here comes The Sims team with the same concept. Are they just taking what is most popular amongst the mod world and creating or do they collaborate with the mod creators?
It looks interesting. I'm waiting to see if the Sims romantic interactions have expanded beyond "kiss hands" and "recite romantic poetry" that we have now. I would love for Sims to be able to walk holding hands. I would also like Sims to be able to tell other Sims how they feel in normal terms, not just serenading or vowing eternal love or whipping out a book and reciting sonnets. Don't get rid of the goofy Sims choices, but give us some real world choices as well. Some people like to make their games as silly or chaotic as possible while others like their gameplay to be as close to real life as possible and I think the devs forget that sometimes. While the description of liking certain characteristics and not liking others and relationship ups and downs sounds good, I've been burnt too many times by that kind of gameplay where it doesn't make any sense. Times my Sim with the loyal trait and full romance bar was made to flirt with a stranger by the game at her wedding causing her new husband to be angry for days. Or times a Sim was "lovelorn" from missing his partner when they live together and had just woohooed minutes before. So I'll wait and see on that aspect of gameplay.
It seems like they saw how loved the most popular romance and gameplay mods are, thought they could make them better, and make people pay for it. This rubs me such the wrong way. Romance being behind a paywall in the first place is insane, because the Sims 4 has been known for the lack of romance it has compared to previous games. This shouldn’t be an expansion pack. They are taking advantage of console players and loyal customers.
6:00 That tattoo is hilarious. You know she's a serial romantic. lol There's a lot of things I'm excited about in this pack but so many of these features should be a free base game update and not behind an expansion pack paywall.
6:50 I'm sorry but, as a millennial, I got so distracted by the hand heart in this picture 😅 it would be funny if they had the adult sims do it the millennial way and teens do it the new way
Just my personal thoughts on this: 1. I worry this may break the entire Gallery along with the game when the glitches hit! 2. EW, I do NOT want my sims having every other sim that comes near them being Flirty and thus forcing interactions I may not want on them autonomously just because they maxed out a skill- What if I want them to only ever have 1 partner and they wind up maxing the skill with them and then getting flirted with by everyone they see... Could be fun sometimes but mostly annoying when it's not ALWAYS what you want 2b- Are they going to make it so other sims no longer cause the romantic relationship bar to progress to avoid that issue? I'd need to know before I buy. 3. I don't like that they are giving pre-order benefits so they can try to fool people in to buying before they find out about the bugs. 4. I'm not willing to assume more than the most shallow cross pack integration since that has been our experience thus far. The integration they offer is generally scant and not very well thought out (example: the fact that football effects your sims muscle and weight but cheerleading does not).
Honestly, these all sound good in theory but i'm really expecting a lot of bugs and things just not working as intended, especially with the gallery integration. It's always been the case with this game, especially in recent packs. These features sound good in isolation and may even work well with a few packs installed, but try playing all of the packs together and the game becomes a wreck.
Remember this is EA we’re talking about… this is defs gonna be 100% buggy on release with half-baked features, people still can’t even access the Happy At Home login event!
While I'm still skeptical I'm digging the idea of growing the dating pool to the gallery. I can't wait to see the potential chaos that comes from this....if it actually works
Overall it's looking and sounding better. Let's hope everything works as it should. 😬 As always, I'm going to wait and see what other simmers have to say and the live streams.
5:48 How is the “lovebug” trait any different from the romantic trait? How is “reserved” any different from “unflirty” (which came with city living iirc)
The entire gallery??? They'll only show exact matches for traits, personality carbon copies, with how many Sims are out there. Also what about pack and custom content conflicts? And how long it will take to load all that info. Game is gonna break.
Im going to keep my expectations in check but I am hoping that this will be a turn around. They've been missing the ball lately but I'm hoping they dazzle since they've got more competition these days
Some of the CAS looks a little funky to me but I do like how some of it looks nice on curvier Sims and the bun style with the hair clip (plus I think that's a new men's style? it looks nice). The butch Sim girl looks hot (I think that's another new hair) though of course we're going to get random grandmas wearing BDSM harnesses. And the tattoo with text looks great (we still need a tattoo chair!!).
I am loving the hair in these! And honestly, this pack sounds more than what I thought it would be but knowing EA they can say all they want if it isn't broken...
Been wanting eyelashes and wedding veils since forever...I'm now a joke on the Sims forums...given up on wedding veils, but NOT EYELASHES!!!!!😂 WHY is this so difficult?!?!
I’m actually sooo extremely excited for this pack…I always skip to marriage after the first date bc all dates are the same but now we get to wooo people and all of those date options!!! SOOO EXCITED
I hope we get better gifts than the single flowers and other random stuff on the gifts list. The shareable treats sound interesting, but I’d like to be able to buy other cool things.
Plaza Mariposa? okay, there is NO WAY we're not getting a fairies pack now... They're not even pretending to be subtle anymore. Besides just the direct translation from Spanish to mean "butterfly" the imagery for which is deeply connected with fairies. In 2008 Mattel released a very famous toy line called "Barbie Mariposa" Featuring Barbie and her friends as butterlfy-winged fairies, which was adapted by Nickelodean into a television show. This toy line and television show would have been around when the majority of these young developers were at the target demographic age. Not suspicious at all
I will say that the newest packs have been amazing in terms of concepts and its disappointing that the earlier packs couldnt be merged to make up for lack content
I'm actually super excited for this expansion pack, it seems really fun + the CAS in the leaks is super cute I hope it allows sims to be poly without requiring mods !
Serious al this stuf and sim interactions named are things that should have been in the base game not a pack it sounds like the romance is just a bit exspanded on
Honestly, I dont feel good when I see complicated features. With their poorly implemented profanity filter on the gallery and their tendency to ignore game breaking bugs, I just feel the chaos and game corruption.
The gallery barely works as a search tool, expanding it to dating makes me fear how buggy it will be.
💯💯💯
Yes! The filter tool hardly ever works right for me.
The favorites tab only displays 25 items 🥴....
Updates* not leaks, let's be honest you guys.
😂 💯
Came here to say that. They're calling marketing 'leaks' now, lol
I said the same thing to myself.
I'll simply call it “leaks” not leaks.
That part🤣 not even updates but reveals
My sims Cupids Corner is gonna be full of NPC townies with bright green hair - tons of makeup that doesn’t match and fedoras 😂😭 I can’t escape it
So it'll be like trying to slog through losers in real life LMAO Sounds like the realism I need
Yah gotta put a lot of those Get Together closets in so you can make people over. Or get a Style Influencer sim to fix everyone/create some good neutral trends
@@merchantfan I hope they give us more closets. I was just thinking the other day we need some more 1x2 closets. Some 1x1 would be nice too.
Everytime I see those sims I delete them. Destroy it.
This is why I use mccc to make it so the game only spawns townies from my gallery lol
Okay so the 2 new traits are basically "Romantic" and "Non-committal" all over again lol
Or Unflirty
the romantic one is pretty much the same but i'd say the non-committal one is a bit different since non-committal affects even jobs and other areas and it seems like the one theyre adding is just focused on relationships/romantic relationships.
@@sugarcutoch I didnt know that, thanks!
it looks good so far but i don't have high expectations anymore with the sims, I just hope it won't be as bad as my wedding disasters
Exactly I’m mainly excited about the cas items I’m seeing the straight hair with the blonde the claw clip styles, tattoos, that shirt with the transparent croptop is super cute I’m hoping there’s way more cas items though sense that would be the only thing that would make it worth anything and it’s a dating themed pack it should definitely have a BUNCH of cas items
And I’m extremely obsessed with the top bun I fear…
Including the entire gallery for the dating app is such a bad move. It should be limited to just our libraries.
Yes T___T
This!!!!
Agreed. I don't wanna scroll thru pages of gallery Sims called "hot guy"
I was kinda of confused about this... the entire gallery? Oh no... It should've been only the saved sims from our library 😭
agreed.
Watch them put basic romantic animations over a paywall
Fr like sims cuddling in bed
a $40 one at that
Which is ridiculous knowing that in both sims 2 & sims 3 it was all base game.
Company will make money on this that they can so it is not surprise I am happy and excited about this pack
If we don't buy that shit, they wont do it.

Just do like I do…don’t buy it or bother to play it until at least 2 patches have come out 😂
smart always watch gameplay before buying
4:25 I like the tattoo that sim has like she got her exes name covered 😂😂 I love it

Geez...if they can figure out how to keep sims from interrupting a date, you'd think they could figure out how to fix Dine Out.
I want to see
1. Crushes for children and teens
2. Zodiac signs & more relationship choices for CAS in the base game update
3. More activities for the dates, such as pottery,ceramics, card table games etc
1. crushes exist with high school years
2. zodiac signs wont do much and more relationship choices in cas is so smart
3. pottery and ceramics is such a great suggestion
I miss zodiac signs 😭
I’m gonna ignore all the same comments that get posted every single time. But I will say, was that a costume trunk to dress up for role play??!? The guy was in a fireman suit on the blanket! 😂 excited
The new dance looks like it might be the same one from jungle adventure, hope I'm wrong though. The other interactions are already in the game, show off fitness, gaze at stars/clouds.
The fish guy! 🤣 And the arm tattoo that looks like 3 tattoos of your exes' names crossed out and the new partner's underneath! I did not expect it to be this funny. However, I am worried about the date system being buggy and messing up all conversations.
The clothes and hairssss im actually LOVING the options
Honestly I’m just kinda underwhelmed. As someone who prefers playing with big families and making my sims fall in love, I even don’t get why we’re getting a romance pack. I mean if anything most of these features should have been rolled out with My Wedding Stories pack. I also don’t get how they could miss the chance to either give us a proper Italian world with Gondola rides like TS3 or Paris with a romantic Eiffel tower.
It just feels like we’re mostly paying $40 for recycled animations with no real added gameplay. Like this would have been the perfect time to introduce MORE dating activities, like mini golf, romantic picnics, a surprise table proposal (TS2), etc.
They're going to trickle feed us until sims 5 finally eventuates.
Not them giving us more fixed apartments when they just gave us the ability to build apartment buildings lmao
Right 😭 that’s so shady
ugh it’s such a shame because for so long i wanted to build my own apartments but for rent is sooooo buggy that i welcome more fixed apartments :/
this honestly seems like one of the fullest expansions we’ve gotten in a while, i’m still not paying full price for it but i’ll definitely be purchasing it. hopefully it’s not to buggy
lol now we need a modder to do an Ashley Madison sim version. lmao
Also I feel like when I find a really great mod that does things here comes The Sims team with the same concept. Are they just taking what is most popular amongst the mod world and creating or do they collaborate with the mod creators?
It looks interesting. I'm waiting to see if the Sims romantic interactions have expanded beyond "kiss hands" and "recite romantic poetry" that we have now. I would love for Sims to be able to walk holding hands. I would also like Sims to be able to tell other Sims how they feel in normal terms, not just serenading or vowing eternal love or whipping out a book and reciting sonnets. Don't get rid of the goofy Sims choices, but give us some real world choices as well. Some people like to make their games as silly or chaotic as possible while others like their gameplay to be as close to real life as possible and I think the devs forget that sometimes.
While the description of liking certain characteristics and not liking others and relationship ups and downs sounds good, I've been burnt too many times by that kind of gameplay where it doesn't make any sense. Times my Sim with the loyal trait and full romance bar was made to flirt with a stranger by the game at her wedding causing her new husband to be angry for days. Or times a Sim was "lovelorn" from missing his partner when they live together and had just woohooed minutes before. So I'll wait and see on that aspect of gameplay.
It seems like they saw how loved the most popular romance and gameplay mods are, thought they could make them better, and make people pay for it. This rubs me such the wrong way. Romance being behind a paywall in the first place is insane, because the Sims 4 has been known for the lack of romance it has compared to previous games. This shouldn’t be an expansion pack. They are taking advantage of console players and loyal customers.
6:00 That tattoo is hilarious. You know she's a serial romantic. lol There's a lot of things I'm excited about in this pack but so many of these features should be a free base game update and not behind an expansion pack paywall.
It would be nice if we could have polyamourus relationships as well. (Not talking about the "free love" option that came with eco lifestyle).
6:50 I'm sorry but, as a millennial, I got so distracted by the hand heart in this picture 😅 it would be funny if they had the adult sims do it the millennial way and teens do it the new way
Wow, I never even noticed before reading this. How does that hand heart even work??
@sweetsandcharades8383 it makes your hand looked deformed in my opinion but apparently that's the way gen z does it 😅
Wait … if the dating app connects to the gallery, what does that mean for offline play? 😬
I think it works with your gallery, the sims you donwloaded or created and saved.
Just my personal thoughts on this:
1. I worry this may break the entire Gallery along with the game when the glitches hit!
2. EW, I do NOT want my sims having every other sim that comes near them being Flirty and thus forcing interactions I may not want on them autonomously just because they maxed out a skill- What if I want them to only ever have 1 partner and they wind up maxing the skill with them and then getting flirted with by everyone they see... Could be fun sometimes but mostly annoying when it's not ALWAYS what you want
2b- Are they going to make it so other sims no longer cause the romantic relationship bar to progress to avoid that issue? I'd need to know before I buy.
3. I don't like that they are giving pre-order benefits so they can try to fool people in to buying before they find out about the bugs.
4. I'm not willing to assume more than the most shallow cross pack integration since that has been our experience thus far. The integration they offer is generally scant and not very well thought out (example: the fact that football effects your sims muscle and weight but cheerleading does not).
All very good and valid points!
Sigh I haven’t played this game in almost 8 months 🥺 they killed the sims for me
While I like playing it, I honestly think you're better off that way.
More money in your pocket, at least :,)
Same. It's sad because this was part of my life for over 20 years.
Sims 3 is completely playable on modern laptops and PC especially!!!
It’s the woohoo blanket
I wonder if someone gonna make the blanket couple from new York 😂
I wonder how dying by a broken heart will play out💀
I really hope A simlish version of Icdiwabh by Taylor Swift plays, and they fall to the ground dead
Im imagining the grim reaper playing the violin as they die, even though I know that's not how the game works. Lol
Honestly, these all sound good in theory but i'm really expecting a lot of bugs and things just not working as intended, especially with the gallery integration. It's always been the case with this game, especially in recent packs. These features sound good in isolation and may even work well with a few packs installed, but try playing all of the packs together and the game becomes a wreck.
Wonderful/wicked whims as EP for $40? With bugs and a whole broken game? No thanks 😂
The tattoo with 3 exes crossed off got me lol
Remember this is EA we’re talking about… this is defs gonna be 100% buggy on release with half-baked features, people still can’t even access the Happy At Home login event!
Not a fan of the galley pulling. Some people make inappropriate or even just weird sims that i dont necessarily want in my game.
Including the gallery? I hate that tbh. If I want certain sims to exist in my save, I'm putting them there myself
While I'm still skeptical I'm digging the idea of growing the dating pool to the gallery. I can't wait to see the potential chaos that comes from this....if it actually works
I downloaded lifesimmers seasons family and I’m so excited to use this pack to continue the lp
Overall it's looking and sounding better. Let's hope everything works as it should. 😬 As always, I'm going to wait and see what other simmers have to say and the live streams.
5:48 How is the “lovebug” trait any different from the romantic trait? How is “reserved” any different from “unflirty” (which came with city living iirc)
reserved is more towards all people rather than romantic endeavors but i agree with you they aren’t specific or new enough
Seems like they really fleshed out this pack, cautiously excited.
Feel like this is just gonna be another wedding stories situation
first time ever I refreshed and got video posted 5 seconds ago haha
The entire gallery??? They'll only show exact matches for traits, personality carbon copies, with how many Sims are out there. Also what about pack and custom content conflicts? And how long it will take to load all that info. Game is gonna break.
I'm loving the CAS but the hairstyles should had been longer, Latin American women have really long hair.
The idea seems really fleshed out! Though I feel it's more of a game pack than an expansion pack, I do like where this is heading.
Im going to keep my expectations in check but I am hoping that this will be a turn around. They've been missing the ball lately but I'm hoping they dazzle since they've got more competition these days
im excited for the cas and gameplay with this expansion!
Some of the CAS looks a little funky to me but I do like how some of it looks nice on curvier Sims and the bun style with the hair clip (plus I think that's a new men's style? it looks nice). The butch Sim girl looks hot (I think that's another new hair) though of course we're going to get random grandmas wearing BDSM harnesses. And the tattoo with text looks great (we still need a tattoo chair!!).
I am loving the hair in these! And honestly, this pack sounds more than what I thought it would be but knowing EA they can say all they want if it isn't broken...
Been wanting eyelashes and wedding veils since forever...I'm now a joke on the Sims forums...given up on wedding veils, but NOT EYELASHES!!!!!😂 WHY is this so difficult?!?!
I’m actually sooo extremely excited for this pack…I always skip to marriage after the first date bc all dates are the same but now we get to wooo people and all of those date options!!! SOOO EXCITED
I’m a little excited about this expansion IF it works. I never preorder and I’m going to wait until I see game play before I buy.
I hope we get better gifts than the single flowers and other random stuff on the gifts list. The shareable treats sound interesting, but I’d like to be able to buy other cool things.
No one sided relationship? Why am I not surprise ? 🙄🤦🏾♀️
It sounds like they took the online dating mod and put in a pack lol
That’s what I’ve thought from the beginning. I have 2 online dating mods in my game so I just don’t feel like I’m missing out with this pack
Plaza Mariposa? okay, there is NO WAY we're not getting a fairies pack now... They're not even pretending to be subtle anymore.
Besides just the direct translation from Spanish to mean "butterfly" the imagery for which is deeply connected with fairies. In 2008 Mattel released a very famous toy line called "Barbie Mariposa" Featuring Barbie and her friends as butterlfy-winged fairies, which was adapted by Nickelodean into a television show. This toy line and television show would have been around when the majority of these young developers were at the target demographic age.
Not suspicious at all
Mariposa is not French, it's Spanish.
@@whateveryouneed4858 woops, brain slip there, you're right, thank you. Everything else I said still counts. Edited.
The side of that building has me sooo excited about the world! 🥰
I will say that the newest packs have been amazing in terms of concepts and its disappointing that the earlier packs couldnt be merged to make up for lack content
But will it work? Will the Sims team only show us the functions that are functional for the "live stream"?
6:14 - Not the polar bear rug from The Sims 1. 🤦🏻♀️😂
I'm actually super excited for this expansion pack, it seems really fun + the CAS in the leaks is super cute
I hope it allows sims to be poly without requiring mods !
unable to still not be able to play my game because of ea.
Dating - where sims play musical chairs... and all is stolen from modders. But thanks for video as always 🌻
3:01
Here we go, the emotional rollercoaster UA-camrs have with this game.
Toxic relationships are a thing for a reason.
1:12 the screen grab looks like it’s from a trailer
Serious al this stuf and sim interactions named are things that should have been in the base game not a pack it sounds like the romance is just a bit exspanded on
Honestly, I dont feel good when I see complicated features. With their poorly implemented profanity filter on the gallery and their tendency to ignore game breaking bugs, I just feel the chaos and game corruption.
