Packs are on sale and I need ✨justification✨ before purchasing
samee
Always buy packs on sale, now is the time
just grab some mods its soooo easy to run mods on sims 4
okay same bestie I’ve found my
People
@@kaant3327well shit im on console
I like seeing more gameplay people. It feels like the EA and Sims team cater to the builders, people who will spend hours in build mode and could care less about gameplay. 😭
I know one of my favorite sims games was busting out and it heavily focused on gameplay and objectives, I really liked it. Building is cool but not what I play for.
Same I don’t play for building.
I'm too lazy to be building stuff, I'd rather just snatch a home the gallery to play with
right like as much as i love building gameplay keeps me entertained wayy longer than building and doesnt get me as fustrated
We don’t have that much build stuff either ngl😂
Growing Together personally for me was needed to make infants not boring. I played with an infant two days before getting that pack and it got boring quickly. I know people have mixed feelings about the milestones but I think the milestones for infants really makes you feel like the infants are developing/ getting older. They can be difficult and kinda hectic but it adds a challenge to your sims life. My only gripe with Growing Together was that there was no active daycare career. They had that in sims 3 so why couldn't they do that in sims 4? I know there is a mod now...but it should have been included in the pack.
I also feel like one of the few people that like Snowy Escape and Horse Ranch, lol.
I love SE's world and the culture and the festivals are quite fun too. I also like snowboarding, rock-climbing and the hiking trails.
As for Horse Ranch, I love horses and nectar-making. I also like the mini-sheep and goats. Basically if you want a big farm with lots of animals get this pack with Cottage Living.
HSY isn't buggy for me. It could have been implemented better but I do feel like it does give me something to do with teens. I also really like social bunny and trendy.
The only pack that I don't really like is Get Famous. I basically got it for the acting career. And I do like the streaming station they have where your sim can make their own videos and make money. But that's about it. I wish the world would have been more like a city. I usually have my actors live in San Myshuno rather than the bland world that it comes with.
active daycare career would have made Growing Together infinitely more well rounded, I agree. I also agree with you on the milestones being a big deal for family. It's just such a shame that they kind of fall off at childhood and become pointless
I agree with you. I never understood the hype of Get Famous (I rarely use it, I had problems with my game because I locked the option to have fame from the start... I felt like it was corny and very unrealistic. I had to turn it back on because it was interfering with my game in the Farm Pack).
I also really enjoy the Horse Ranch and the Snowy Escape pack. My version of Olive Spectre is a three-time widow that occupies her time with her horse ranch and making sure her niece stays dressed and fed. 🤣 I felt like the Sims 2 version lacked a hobby. Now she knits, does gardening and takes care of her beloved champion horse Thanatos. She is laying her eyes on potential husband number four (Don Gooseman).
Now seriously, I feel like there are things they could have done: an active kindergarden with a career as an educator or an after-school activity (horse riding) besides drama club or scouts for children (I am sick of those two options), even with the island pack they could have added the swim club. High School is still very bugged, true, I was never able to sneak out and I tried literally EVERYTHING I saw on the Internet. That has to mean something, right? I was expecting the growing up pack to have other things as well like active senior homes and making it a career (since is something so real) or FINALLY the private school option (I miss sims 2)... but I disagree with other packs.
Honestly I played infants for awhile without growing together, just got it during the sale. Base game infants were only a slight upgrade from the cradle locked newborns. I know Parenthood was pre-infants, but I got that first. While it is more about the parent gaining parenting skills then the kids milestones, I still was pretty happy with just parenthood for ages. The infants are still a lot to handle but it still added enough dynamics I was perfectly ok with waiting until late next year to by growing together or until it was at a reasonable price.
As I am never JUST raising an infant, even without growing together I had fun with them. Of course I started on growing together with a complex family that was already in progress (twin infants, a toddler, and a child) so the challenge added up fast. And I don’t know that with that big of a household I clocked or appreciated every milestone to be honest, especially with two working parents. I am happy to have a few things like the treehouse and kids bikes and I like the compatibility system, but I am so far unimpressed by milestones. In a home with just an infant I’d maybe notice more.
The thing I wanted most from growing together was that gosh darn baby carrier to be honest. I had a CC changing table that worked with base game.
I got Horse Ranch at a discount and I really love it. I currently have a save with two ranches at the moment - one in Henford that focuses primarily on animals and raising Thoroughbred race horses and the other in Chestnut Ridge that revolves around nectar making and breeding horses for western pleasure riding. I also keep a personal record of the horses' genetics so when I breed them, I can recolor the foals properly, as well as add further complexity to the game. I can understand where people are coming from when they say the pack doesn't have a lot of depth; it takes a lot of imagination and creativity to make it work. But for people who love horses and breeding/genetics, I think it can be really fun. I've noticed a lot more bugs since installing the pack (could also be a result of my mods interfering with the pack as well), but nothing game-breaking. But as somebody who likes to watch chaos occur autonomously, I sometimes enjoy the weird stuff that happens.
I have both Snowy Escape and Get Famous. Snowy escape is kinda underrated imo and I wouldn’t be able to live without it cause ✨Kiyoshi Ito✨ exists. All my girls get with him every game😭
Also I don’t really regret buying Get Famous cause I like what it comes with, the acting career and video station and all, but I still wish there was more. The world is boring af and it’s just kinda basic
Best packs is get together + seasons. Best combo ever, I bought these two packs together and the amount of gameplay added to my game was amazing.
Yeah honestly I feel like get together is a must have in order to make the other packs more fun. Only thing that makes high school years fun for me is the fact can make "cliques" in the game with get together
As someone who plays the sims but doesn't feel the need to purchase every pack, I love your honest reviews. I feel like they needed to combine cats and dogs with horse ranch like in the sims 3. Same thing with werewolves and vampire, they should have just combined them. The sims 3 felt you got some much more bang for your buck with packs
I like Get Together a lot. It's got group dancing, dj mixing, and then with the dj's you can create real nightclubs. The club system is one of the very few things the Sims team keeps updated--it has cross-functionality with most other packs' gameplay. The club system helps you make friends, build skills, set up family, party, or other group activities. And then the sims actually mostly do those activities. It makes the whole game feel more alive.
I love get together. I love Windenburg.
Same!! I make a lot of clubs and place them on different lot types to make my world lively
As a legacy player, I also created a club with all of my legacy household's extended family. I used MCCC to increase the limit of club members so I can have around 20+ people in my clubs. They're more convenient to use for family gatherings than the base game events !!
@@krizcruz3 Great idea!
@krizcruz7359 Yes! I use Get Together the same way, to make venues more lively. It's especially great when playing rotationally. There will usually be a club meeting wherever my sim is, and they can meet my other sims and make friends in a realistic way. Get Together tends to be underrated.
and i love how you can hook sims up!!
I am very thankful that you don't bullsh*t about the packs you just say what they are what they do and show truthfully if it's a good pack or bad pack
Just stocking stuffer, but I want to support you. You’re a great person,as I appreciate your advice on personal things and sims 4. You encourage to live unapologetically. Merry (hopefully snowy) Christmas to you and much love Satch!
Thank you so much for your support!
I'm still frustrated that we don't have singers and bands still 😆That definitely should have came with Get Famous. I definitely agree about Cats & Dogs because they seem so lifeless and pointless in having in my household. They need more things to do. Especially horses! Omg the horses just idle for HOURS in my game.
It really goes down to storyline you have in mind for a sim, this game is just a dollhouse symulator after all.
Every save I make I think about the storyline for my character and play as if it's a TV show unfolding, it really helps to visualize where the gameplay is going without getting stuck and not knowing what to do
@@moon8558 I'd say my saves are more of a interactive illustration, even if its just a vibe to portray I like to have it existing somewhere lol.
As a “secondary” user of the English language 😂, have a MERRY Christmas. I’ve had a rough year and your videos have been a welcome treat. Thank you!
Wow that's amazing! Thank you so much. Merry Christmas!
can you be my sugar mama pls i need
Hey Satch! Merry Christmas (to everyone celebrating)!!! Thanks for posting even though it's a holiday.
I mainly agree with your choices and rankings, although the only reason I like Growing Together is because of the milestones of the infants. Without the pack, infants go from being objects in a crib to being able to crawl and sit, and it's immersion breaking. I like the fact that infants can't do anything unless they actually learn it - like lifting their head, first laugh, etc.
Not to mention they're just boring.
@@daliam8715 exactly. The whole infant stage is just pointless.
I'm starting to think you guys don't know how to have fun! When Outdoor Retreat was one of five packs I had in my jailbroken game, I had my sim go and find all the different growable plants and collect all the bugs without cheating on what time/where they spawned. She ended her collection with the elusive Will-o-the-wisp and found the Hermit's house, ending up falling for hermit Bruce and marrying him. They had 5 kids and Bruce went out the way he wanted, via CowPlant. Get creative y'all.
that sounds fun! unfortunately i'm not creative enough..
Now that there's a sims sale, this video is perfect because I was needing help to choose a pack.
I just got the Bust the Dust pack and just I LOVE IT! The dust adds so much ambience and annoyingly realistic game play and the dust bunnies are so cute! The dust bunnies can be befriended and become indoor bunny pets that don’t age or die - unlike the cottage living bunnies that keep dying even if I turn off animal aging!
"I just got" Yeah, give it 6 months of those dust bunnies and you'll be downloading mods to decrease their spawn, nerf their gifts, and shut the the F up.
@@shigeminotoge4514yea i always turn it off, loved it at first, it’s okay for $5 ig
I find it kinda hilarious you praise the pack for realisim, but are also excited about unaging dust bunny pets…..it’s kinda hilarious. I mean, do you, enjoy your pack. But I would put dust bunny pets, especially immortal ones, firmly in ‘not realisim’. 😂😂
@@TheDawnofVanlife Sometimes fantasy can be made more intriguing by grounding it with realism, or vice versa to make realism seem more engaging and grounded by juxtaposing it with fantasy. Enjoying one or the other does not need to be mutually exclusive, and one can be used to successfully enhance the other.
I'm not sure that's necessarily what's going on here with the $6.99 "Bust the Dust" kit DLC for The Simsᵀᴹ 4. Because it's questionable as to whether there is actually any substance here to analyse to such a capacity. I'm simply saying that invalidating someone's favourable opinion of realism or fantasy simply because they espouse the other as well in the same breath is not always entirely valid.
@@shigeminotoge4514It wasn’t that deep of a comment, all of sims is honestly a few fantastical things grounded in mostly reality. Like a 20/80 split. Like Patchy coming to life and tending your garden…total fantasy but people love Patchy. Imaginary friends coming to life in Sims 3, total fantasy but people have been clamoring for the return of imaginary friends. I actually don’t own any of the occult packs so I do not care, but the cries for faries and real unicorns in Sims 4 are shouted about everyday. I totally get it. I also think it’s the wrong word entirely. It’s less ‘realisim’ and more ‘authentic challenge’. Like having to fix the electrical box in For Rent is closer to an authentic landlord challenge while dealing with the ghost haunting isn’t. Sims usually has a bit of both and different strokes for different folks on where the goofy things are fun and enjoyable and where they aren’t. But it still isn’t realisim.
Get Together is the most important pack to my gameplay. I have Sims in clubs full time. It increases their skill rate as you earn perks, and there is also one that basically eliminates the need to eat, sleep or pee. To me it makes the entire game more playable. There is a greater chance of death by hysteria as it amplifies good moods. But that's okay. Resurrection is easy enough, lol.
I agree with Growing Together 100%. I got it for my birthday and it is so shallow! I really think that was meant to be a base game (infant stuff, and milestones) update and a Parenthood refresh. I also think Horse Ranch and For Rent were meant to be refreshes too. How else would there be 3 EP in one year!
Watching this vid while doing Christmas countdown. Happy Holidays Satch!
ETA: Thank you Satch for giving Get to Work and Get Famous the love that they deserve! IMO, those 2 EPs are also a must-have ❤
frr i love get famous
Get to work is also required for Zerbu's Turbo careers mod to work, which makes all base game careers active!
Everyone always hates on Get to Work but it adds so much gameplay. I just got University and it just has the University rabbit holes to attend and is so buggy. Get to Work has multiple interactive jobs and the ability to build and own shops. 😊
there's a discount going on right now, good timing for a video like this
Thanks for posting today! Holidays are tough for me and you always make me smile❤️
My favorites are city living and island living. Totally into the vibes and the social interactions! ❤ 🌴🧜♀️ the scenery in island living is to die for!
I like Nifty Knitting. As someone who likes to crochet, being able to have my sims do something similar is fun! Also, I like the build-mode stuff
Definitely my most used stuff pack ^^
I agree with this list 100%. My biggest gripe with Growing Together was that it felt necessary to buy. I truly think milestones should have come with the infant update as a huge base game update. Milestones aren’t big enough of a feature to be bought. Infants without Growing Together are no better than newborns locked to their cradle imo, especially with how long of a life stage it is. It’s also absolutely appalling that things like the playmat were locked behind an expansion paywall.
I just got Seasons and…it’s fine. Not blown away, but the price was finally too good to ignore. I was worried about feeling overwhelmed by to-do list of the holidays and changing weather messing up my Sims lives. I moved from the East Coast of the US to the West Coast - California (Bay Area) where there is mild weather all year and didn’t miss massive weather changes at all, wasn’t bothered. Neutral all year weather is cool with me. Having aging on and rasing my sims kids was my time progression as well as other sim families aging around me.
What I do like in the Seasons pack tho is a sense of geography so I do like if my Sim takes a vacation in Sulani during the winter they actually DO have different weather then the Sim had at home. Even popping over to San Myshuno from Willow Creek you might hit a storm not going on at home and I will say this added the most variety to my play more than anything. And made each map feel more like a definitively different place then the other.
As troubled as the For Rent launch has been, it is a need for me especially for that sense of geography. The Home Regions Mod does a great job at keeping Sims from crossing over into worlds they don’t live in. But can make the population of worlds with smaller lot counts REALLY small. The custom apartments have allowed me to increase each neighborhood population more effectively.
Since you've played around with the pack I have to ask, do you think the garden system in Seasons is fleshed out enough or is country living still a necessary add on? I'm tempted to just stick with seasons, but I don't want it if the gardening is worthless without further expansions.
i love your suggestions for waiting for not paying full price. so true!
You are incredible and so genuine, honest, and I appreciate you Satch
I missed the part from Sims2 is when a sim’s job progress their carpool car progresses as well. And also the schools bus
build mode and cas are my specialty, so I usually go for packs I know has good build objects and a nice cas, like a lot of people hate vintage glamor, but I love it because cas and bb
i'll forever defend snowy escape haha. i might be biased since i quite like japanese culture, and i also got it before city living so festivals were entirely new in my game, but I think it comes with a lot of fun elements that are often overlooked because the pack is centered around winter sports that weren't implemented well so it's easy to trash it.
To me, it was a breath of fresh air after owning a whole bunch of american suburban/british countryside style packs, there was finally something in the game representing a culture other than western european. The world itself is very pretty, I like how there's the snowy area where you can ski/snowboard all year round, but you can also experience a normal Japanese town as well, which could have been done in a better way, but at least it's something. I think it adds some versatibility to the pack, another reason to purchase it besides playing winter sports and climbing mountains and I find myself using the pack quite a lot. I'm also a gameplay person, but I think it's awesome for build mode and CAS as well. Also, hiking!!!! it's not very exciting, i'll admit it, but I always use it for proposals haha, at least it looks nice, something different from willow creek.
For a pack about winter sports I find it disappointing how it lacks depth, but I think it's a better pack than, like, cats & dogs by MILES and you get more substance for the same price. It should've been called something else instead of snowy escape
Agree! I also like bringing my Sims to the hiking area, Senbamachi neighbourhood, for dates, family group hiking as well as for romantic proposals near the temple area, where the cherry blossom trees will be in the background. Also, love having my Sim go collect the random forest spirit dolls during hiking. And lastly, I also love love love Kiyoshi Ito from this pack. So... hehehe... (*pls don't judge me) I will forever support this pack! 😄😝
@@carmenphoon YES oh my god i keep aging up Kiyoshi and adding it to every single family i make istg the only good looking male sim from the entire game haha XDD i do the same stuff, hiking is very nice for family gameplay, you can make your sims do morning jogs if they live nearby too, it's nice because they can break out from the monotomy of the game by doing something that's not a rabbithole activity.
@@jamieblaireglad to hear Kyoshi is popular bc allll my sims get w/ him (or his dad 🌚)
@@jamieblaire Personally, I think this pack came with the most attractive looking Sims. Kiyoshi will always be my bias in the game, in every saved game that I have, I will always make sure he doesn't die. Because, I just can't see him die. Thank goodness for MCCC! 😜😝
@@findingbrooki yup, Naoki is good looking too, if only he is not mean. But at least he is family oriented.
Thank you for this. New to the sims 4 so very helpful. Merry Christmas! 🎄
This may be silly to say but I feel like sims 4 for rent is a need especially if you have other packs which most summer do. The reason I say it’s a need is that it brings multi family lots unfortunately not multi functioning lots which needs to be added. But that really expands and creates bigger worlds. Especially for worlds like Delsol valley. A very small world but huge lots to add things like apartments. As for me it’s a need.
I would agree with you if the pack wasn't so broken that the gameplay basically doesn't work. For builders is great tho
@@PedroHenrique-fz3jc yea that’s true! But there are work arounds it’s bjust frustrating that we keep getting glitchy packs….but I think my comment aged well.
Merry Christmas Satch! I love your videos but particularly your tier lists! Cannot wait for you to update the sims worlds tier list with Chestnut Ridge and Tomarang!!
I honestly trust your opinion more than, for example, lilsimsie's or any other sims 4 youtuber when it comes to these things simply because you don't care what people say about you for telling the truth ❤ Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
I mean I love Satch’s takes but you do know someone can just feel differently about the same thing. lilsimsie, who isn’t even someone I watch regularly, has said on multiple occassions, don’t buy packs full price. If you really want it wait for a sale.
@@TheDawnofVanlifei do like to eatch satch’s videos, and he does speak the truth. He’s very honest. But I’ve realised people nowadays absolutely cannot understand what they read or listen, interpretation skills are sorely lacking. Kayla ALWAYS shows us the bugs on every pack, she always says not to pay full price, she criticises EA a LOT… but just because she actually enjoys the franchise and manages to have fun playing, people say she’s a sellout and only says good things about the game regardless of the issues with EA.
Same for James Turner, he never hides the issues the game has, but just because he’s also on the creator network automatically he’s fake, a shill, whatever. Both him and Kayla don’t let the bugs get in the way of their videos because the videos are supposed to be enjoyable, otherwise EVERY content ever would be just complaining. It gets old very fast. But they still show (and tell) us the issues they faced with the game on the videos.
It seems, to me, at least, that people want vitriol, and not actual balanced content that allows you to make your own decisions whether or not you’re supposed to like or hate a pack.
To be completely clear, since people are going to think I’m saying Satch is hateful: I do NOT think that. He sound like a very honest person, to me, and I enjoy his videos a lot. I’m absolutely not saying HE is on the negative side of the sims/ea… fandom? Idk. He seems to care a lot about showing us the facts so we can spend our money carefully. But so do other content creators, even on EA’s network. People are allowed to enjoy parts of the game while recognising and sharing the parts that are shitty, of which there’s a LOT.
@@SNMarlenePreach!!! I love Satch but I also find his rankings biased to His playstyle and what He finds enjoyable. Not because he’s a ‘hater’ but because he’s human and like most people he likes what he likes. Also more than once I have seen him label something a bug that was honestly a mis-step on his part in gameplay. I am not saying the game isn’t buggy, it is! And I enjoyed his rankings for what they are. But Growing Together, for example, which I am ‘meh’ on is a family player’s pack and Satch is not into family gameplay so what’s super fun for people who play with families a lot Satch will very often dismiss as not gameplay or worth your time just because it wasn’t worth his time. It’s also why saying ‘I’m a gameplay and live mode person’ means literal nothing because ‘gameplay’ means different things to different people. Some people are all about challenges, some are into rags to riches, some play sims like an rpg, some cheat all the needs and have their sims live in a utopia where they have everything they need & the player takes in the endorphins of a perfect fantasy land, and some throw every torture in game at their sims…and some people just build. What makes sims ‘fun’ or ‘worth it’ is a varied experience.
@@TheDawnofVanlife Although I genuenly trust satch's opinion, I agree with you, but I just put lilsimsie as an example, I'm not saying she's fake (and I'm sorry If what I said seemed like it).
The reason why I trust satch's opinion so much it's because I play the sims 4 in a similar way to his style, I think I should've clarify that in the first place.
@@TheDawnofVanlife I understand what you mean but I do think Satch is very honest about what he likes and he says so I’m so many videos. He is, imo, really transparent regarding why he likes or dislikes something and where he’s coming from/ what his goals are. I appreciate that a lot. It’s up to people to pay attention to what content creators say and to understand that no one’s opinion is supposed to be the universal truth, and that who’s watching has to decide some things by themselves.
Regarding the gameplay part of what you said I 100% agree, but still Satch could bring us a laundry list of what he likes to do on the game, and people would still misunderstand him. Many people nowadays can’t really think by themselves, it’s really sad to see. Or they think things are black and white and who doesn’t agree with their own opinions are sellouts, liars, whatever. Exposure brings scrutiny, and not all of the latter ends up being fair, unfortunately.
I have
-Romantic garden
-Jungle adventure
-Fancy party (something like that)
-Christmas free stuff
-My first pet (Don't have cats and dogs but cas is still usable 💅🏻)
-And something I cannot remember
For free from official sales and I am collecting slowly ✨
Merry xmas Satch! Glad I found you this year.
I've watched almost all of Satch's vids. He's spot on with most advice. Admit his game play style's different so he can be a bit more crit than I am. But I bought everything in the order Satch recommends I've no regrets.
I love the Paranormal Stuff Pack, cause it's a gameplay pack for the price of a stuff pack
omg thank you for being so honest about growing together! I have the exact same thoughts about growing together! after I purchased it I could not believe how they called it an expansion pack when it's barely any gameplay, the milestones doesn't even impact my Sims life all that much. I was so disappointed, but I learned my lesson and that's why I haven't purchased the for rent yet, and I probably won't until there's a really really good price on it..
As a gameplay Simmer I really appreciate this video!
Agree, only buy on sale!! Seasons, Vampires, and Cottage Living are my favs right now.
The one thing about nifty knitting and laundry day I do like is that they did it based on player's voting. I believe the consensus for paranormal stuff is that so many people wanted happy haunts they decided to add it, which either way was a really good move. Still, I feel like it shows a lot what players want and was a good way of getting the community involved
First of all, merry christmas Satch! 🔥💙
Second, could you do a playthrough or review on the Sims Urbz on console? That will be a hilarious 😂🩵
Or buy a key from another website and enter the key origins. You save so much more money that way.
I personally think of Dream Home Decorator the same way Satch thinks of Tiny Living. It's there to encourage you to get more creative with build/buy mode while working within constraints... plus I really enjoy interior design. Sure, you need to do a fair amount of work (interviewing them and even taking notes irl) to understand what your decorator gig clients want and don't want and have to find a middle ground there, but I think it's satisfying when you do well, even if the work might end up looking ridiculous. lol That's part of the fun for me. lol Gigs also get you using the build/buy filters quite a bit.
Anyone who says it's too easy to satisfy your clients in Dream Home Decorator hasn't done gigs where there are multiple sims with multiple likes and dislikes. If you don't do enough interviewing and don't consider the likes and dislikes, especially when they conflict with one another, you can easily fail your gig.
If you're thinking that you can't properly interview your clients, consider that you might not be using the right social interactions, and no, the Interior Decorator ones aren't always enough.
"Ask About Hobbies and Skills", "Ask About Favorite Color", and "Ask About Taste In Decor" are all crucial questions to ask your clients. Interior Decorator interactions only generate gig interest bubbles in the career menu... which are important to keep in mind of course since those are the things the clients will want in the renovation (and *nothing* else), but do be careful not to have anything in the renovation that clients dislike, even if they asked for them, however this may not matter if only one or two sims dislike something... in a large household.
Yes, I am very careful and assume that all clients will be picky as. lol They have been very picky at times, and I greatly dislike failure. lololo
Great review😊Personally the cats and dogs pack is worth it for owning a vet clinic, I like the gameplay. But owning the actual pet for sure feels meaningless in the game!
Bust the Dust has exactly ONE thing you can do for my gameplau style. I like to have a child raise a toddler. Child can't put Toddler in bath BUT Child can hoover the Tot to raise hygiene. 😂
Whattt
This is the most hilarious thing
I just got a ad for the sims romantic garden sims 4 lol. Anyway love 0:00 and 16:00 11:01.
Needed this!
i am so happy i found your channel
You are glowing today Satch
After seeing this I really hope Sims 5 or whatever has done more planning for whatever packs they'll put out because looking at this list I see so much overlap. So many things that could've been a single pack are split across 2-3 sometimes even 4 packs.
I wish they would add pinky rings to the game. Like why is there no pinky ring option?
i was literally just watching ur video on every expansion pack in sims 4
Greatly appreciate the video! Added some much needed perspective for deciding which games I'm going to purchase! I think I'll forever be sad about My Wedding Stories 😭 I'd never been so excited and unfortunately... if anyone has mod recs to fix it... I'd buy it 🤧🤣
As an eedjit who owns all the packs; I don’t recommend owning both Get Famous and High School Years. They are cross INcompatible. If you like prom don’t ever win an award. Seasons will ruin your game for good, BUT you’ll get weather! Dine out, wedding stories, horse barn, parenthood 2, and Get Mouldy shouldn’t be purchased under any conditions. To simmer snowflakes: They’re equivalent to MLMs doing a 200% mark up on dollar store products. EA actually runs way more like a pyramid scheme than you’d think. They don’t even have to pretend to pay you guys into subservience. You’re so scared of hurting anyone’s feelings you won’t stand up for your own consumer rights; I had to Karen a whole store the other day for profiling me. Walked in and put them all in their place sternly. Stand up for yourself it’s survivial of the fittest under capitalism too, so y’all listen to Satch. He’s smart and nice. I’d bully you all into deleting the sims with no regret. He’ll at least make you not feel outright stupid. Thank you for being the only voice of reason in the sim community Satch!
I only recommend Dine out if you play on pc and can get Carls mod. Its a lot better when things works propperly and you can play as chef
@@augusto7681I only got dine out so I could add restaurants to my community lots. Haven’t ever run one, just have sims go one dates as patrons. For that purpose it works perfectly. 😂😂 Never had a problem and couldn’t live without it now.
Horse Barn, Get Mouldy😂
Please 'bully' us to delete sims (but in a kind way). It's an addiction.. i need some voice of reason to get me out of this addiction.
thank you so much this was so helpful uwu
The seasons pack that broke farming, without this pack it work as it should. There is a mod that you can disable the effect of seasons on harvestables, it stop the bug.
Really? I need this mod. Desperately. Do you happen to remember the name or the creator of this mod?
@@derralle5705 There is actually two mods options. One from littleMsSam called "gardening workaround fix". It check plant state and fix after some time in the lot. And Carl season tuner. It have a lot more options to control season, disable snow, disable season effects only on plants, a cheat to make sunny day.
@@derralle5705I believe the OP is talking about the ‘seasons tuner’ mod by Carl. The same modder who does Carl’s Dine Out reloaded.
im so glad I found his channel its like finding your soulmate but instead of being an romantic oriented thing it's in the ts4 creator networkism and he is the chosen one that can't be challenged
I love how you put realm of magic high on your list cause a lot of sims youtubers rate them very low. I finally found someone who kinda likes it as I do 😊. It has been the center of my every sims 4 gameplay since its release.
Merry Christmas, Satch. I am mildly considering getting Seasons, now. I was ready to never purchase another Sims thing, essentially boycotting S4, but maybe Seasons will be 80% off at one point... I might strongly consider buying it then.
I agree with you when you say that the packs are only worthwhile when there's a sale on. I'm still missing the last 3 large packs. They are also currently on offer. But I still can't motivate myself to buy them because even combined they hardly offer enough gameplay to keep me entertained over the holidays.
I agree 100% with this tier list no bullshitting
Thanks, I'm thinking of giving TS4 a chance yet again. I'm a fan who discovered the franchise through the handheld spinoffs and I played most of the games including TS1. I'm really only interested in TS4 due to the mods and the feel of a new experience since I barely played it. This video is helpful to know what to choose.
I like growing together EP but you’re right it could have came with a little more maybe the ability to attend school with child sims or attending daycare with the toddlers ….maybe it could have upgraded the babysitting career and maybe that a now live career …but I do overall like it 🤷🏽♀️😅
The vibe of city living really is great, shame the appartment dlc had little to do with it.
You some really valid points with good reasoning! Thank you for sharing!
I personally love playing in Sulani. I agree with your critique, but, to me, it's just so pretty that I don't care, whoops.
I look forward to your videos satch 🎉
Ich kann nicht glauben, dass das Basisspiel kostenlos ist, aber Growing Together ist im Grunde ein Basisspiel für 34. Das Basisspiel ist also sinnlos, aber man braucht es wie ein kostenloses Spiel, aber Growing Together ist das „vollständige Erlebnis“.
Du hast Recht, ich hätte gerne öfter einen Kommentar. Nun, ich glaube, ich bin es verdammt noch mal nicht, dass Zacxlo es getan hat. Scheiße, er hat mir das Telefon gestohlen
i am a nifty knitting apologist- all of my sims knit and the collab with all the other packs makes me so happy but for non fiber art people i understand
Get Together is in my need category. It is one of my favorite packs. As well as Seasons, Get to Work and City Living. Everything else is meh except for Batuu and MWS which are both under hate it/delete it for me.
this christmas i said f the sims and got alice madness returns it’s a much better game on ea app highly recommend to everyone
I agree with get together I don’t think I could play the game without making clubs of friends for events and stuff, I feel like nifty knitting was a great stuff pack for what it was. you can unlock a bunch of clothes, sell it on plopsy, gives a new hobby, makes new items . I want more crafting stuff like that
I currently own all expansions and most game packs so this is my justification to see if I want anything I don’t own yet 😅
I'm more a live-mode person as well. The CAS and Build modes make me fall asleep for some reason. 🤣 Since the end of Octobre I've been working on saving all my builds and sims to My Gallery on Xbox so that I can bring my save (sort of) to my PC via the Gallery. And there have multiple occasions that I have woken up on my gaming chair while in CAS or Build mode. I even turned the music off (like lullabies) for those modes but still...
Idk why but I’m obsessed with these type of videos 😭 so far I have every expansion pack except for horse ranch and for rent.
How to get liver cirrhosis: take a shot every time Satch says "I feel like"
I got horse ranch for the clothes and horses... I'm obsessed. I was never a horse girl but man I'm becoming one.
I think you nailed it. Well said.
weird i never would have associated strangerville with stranger things but it makes a lot of sense, maybe less 80's, I thought they were trying to do a sims 2 strangetown (pc and psp story version) throwback
I’m honestly still not over the facts that bunnys aren’t pets 😂
I know you have to think about console players but I love all the occult systems because they seem to have really creative mods around them. RoM felt kind of meh after a while until I started using mods and now I love playing as a Spellcaster. Same with Mermaids and Vampires (I don't have Werewolves).
😩 I have 90% of the packs but I’ve bought them at full price. I need a return on my investment. 😂
realm of magic's magical village/shopping area actually broke my heart, it's just a prop studio, what a huge missed chance for a bustling enchanted diagon alley
Thank you for the timestamps
I think with Sims4, most packs are wrongly classified and creators too dont know which pack label should include what level of content.. Some kits feel like stuff packs, some stuff packs feel like game packs or kits, some game packs feel like expansions and some expansions… feel like game packs at best.
I like aesthetic worlds that gives a sense of different culture/vibe and even a climate, and not just a different but similar pretty views…
So I like island living and pets cos of it. And i just have to have a fluffy friend so no matter how bad it is, pets is a must have for me too..
But mostly you just KNOW most game packs should have been released together as expansions like pets and horses, maybe snowy escape and jungle adventures under “vacation/bon voyage”, get together and city living as former doesnt have gameplay to be worthy of being an expansion pack, parenthood with growing together and ofc we all know so many if not all of the stuff packs… just should have been combined to be a game pack or should have been IN the released game/expansion packs
Like tiny living, eco lifestyle and laundry day… or nifty knitting, bowling, movie hangout could be a “hobbies pack” like sims 2 freetime. Like we ALL KNOW, horse ranch is a pack made of half cottage living and half of pets.. when horses should have been in pets and lambs and aesthetic should have been in cottage living..
And because that is mostly the case of all packs, to have the full experience of a pack, to have the full aesthetic and theme, you need multiple packs combined sadly. And as long as the old simmers that have played sims, sims 2 and sims 3 prior to sims 4, feel that contents WERE taken out surely from packs released to be made into a seperate pack, and feel cheated basically, i dont think most of us can be interested in a pack for more than a few days…
Like when 1 sims 3 pack came out, you’d need multiple generations and sims to have experienced everything on it. But Sims 4 feels more like “experience it then be done with it, then start waiting for the next pack”..
which is a shame as theyve done some good things like the occult systems are neat how u level up but even that… once you reach the top feels empty.
Bought and downloaded ALL packs almost besides some kits and stuff packs… But i am downloading Sims 3 again and cant wait for a game that actually keeps my mind busy with all the things i can do.
I created a merman on Island Living with $0 money. He had to start digging and fishing right away on that one empty island. He sold everything until he got enough for a cooler and from there his little island grew. It was quite a challenge keeping him alive at the beginning. I played him for about 6 months before he died from electrocution from trying to fix his off-grid fridge in the rain. RIP Luca! I guess it depends on how you play the island?
you could rank them 200 more times and i’m still gonna watch it every time
4 DAYS AGO!
Perfect ❤
lol When Satch said that werewolves are the most fun occult to play with, I imagined him making a fun dad werewolf. lmaooo
Growing together is what got me back into the sims Ngl. Mainly cuz of the compatibility system. That being said. This should’ve been a free update
Glad I came here, sadly not quick enough before I pressed buy… BUT you justified my purchases were good *exhales* 😊
I think dine out it should be in meh because it cool if you want romantic relationship and something like that
high school years was my first expantion pack. i liked it at first but there isnt a lot of students that come with it. you need a couple teen mods to make it more fun. same thing with realm of magic. its fun at first but you get board of it
Unpopular opinion: I like get together and snowy escape. Don’t beat me😂😂😂😂
Snowy escape is very good pack in general, just by lookin at opinions. The only bad thing is climbing to Mt.komorebi cuz there is a lack of activity you can do same as snowboarding. Sounds good but its meh. I mainly bought it for build mode and world
I agree with you except, I do like the live in butler you get with vintage glamour. Like you, I never pay full price for any of the expansions etc. They usually come down in price once they've had a load of bugs and bad reviews lol
Dine out dlc could be playable with a mod that fixes it. Not sure what it was called though
Yes, it's Carl's Dine Out Reloaded. Highly recommended.
Tbh I wish EA just decided to remake the sims 3. I put almost 3000 hours into the sims 3 but I have barely 1200 hours in the sims 4 :(
The only one I ever bought was cottage living, the rest I'd never have if not for anadius. And I STILL need many mods to improve.
