I'm going to stream on Twitch later (4pm ET/9pm BST) and talk more about this pack! I have a bunch of footage to show you, so hopefully I'll see you there! www.twitch.tv/lilsimsie
LOL omg imagine Person in the conference room: “what if we... added a world that’s fit for people... who struggle with money.” Person 2: 😮 Person 3: “that’s...” Person 4: “hhhhhhhh-“ CEO: “YES. Yes. That’s so creative and innovative oh my god that’s the one.”
heck yes, i was the whole video like “why isn’t she freaking out with these stairs as i am??” wasn’t she waiting for that during her whole life? because honestly... i was!
Reasons I watch simmers on UA-cam: Deligracy: CAS previews James Turner: Build/Buy previews lilsimsie: crying about windows and apartments Never change, Kayla.
I like the apartments thing. Apartments aren't just in cities... I've lived in cities, towns, villages and there's always some form of apartment living. The home ownership rate in the U.S. is like 65% I think so there's a huge rental market out there that should be represented in the game :)
Murat Şen the sims has such a reputation for their questionable builds so it’s no surprise..people are gonna joke about it because it’s what we expect! it’s not that deep
Phoebe Daisy they should fix it not sims players or youtubers. (yeees girl go give us nothing meme) literately they are making the same mistakes over and over and I can’t understand why no one gives a f ? It makes me sad because I love this game and right now ea making it money trap and it’s really sad :(
Murat Şen i think we’ve tried so many times to get them to make actual builds and they’ve never really delivered so it’s clear they don’t have much of an intention to build better things. They also have object/pack/budget restrictions as well (even though that’s not really an excuse) . i suppose there’s always plenty of amazing builds on the gallery though if building isn’t your thing and some of the builds in the eco living pack are genuinely nice for once
Looks like Paralives is having an effect on EA, I am all for it, if Paralives can provide competition than the Sims team will put out for better material, super happy about the new sliding and placement features of the windows and doors.
Okay but like my favorite thing about this whole pack must be the toddler bed with the roof thing. Like, I almost started crying when I saw it it's so cute Edit: It's actually not in this video, but I think you can find a picture of it somewhere
Honestly, I was kind of hesitant about this pack, I really didn't expect much - though I thought it was unwise of so many people to rip into it before seeing anything really...however: the first look already changed my outlook on this, I'm now actually looking forward to getting my hands on it too It gives me the impression the sims-team was really looking forward to this release and they probably expected a very positive reaction, which, makes me feel pretty bad for all the early backlash...
If you read the critiques you will see a lot of people are complaining about things EA has done in the past. Again our expectations are so low that we’re floored we are actually getting decent amount of content. This does not erase the past and this does not mean the sims doesn’t have core issues it still needs to work on and has yet to in 6 years. But I hope this means that EA is finally listening to the community-but that would have never happened if we just stayed like quiet good little consumers and never rocked the boat.
@UA-cam Fan honestly if you aren't a fan of the sims anymore then get off the videos of it and stop buying the things they release. go to paralives and stay there because the sims community doesn't need someone rude and awful like you
@@steinistein8611 I would kill to live in NYC. It's a cultural center with some of the best theaters, restaurants, museums in the world, and beautifuly multi-cultural.

@@audreym859 but that sounds so romanticised. Yes there is a lot of culture, but also smog, high criminal and murder rates, poverty, drugs, corruption, bad health care, high rents... It's a city for rich people and people who want to be part of it so bad that they will live in a 5m² apartment for an absurd amount of rent on a tiny wage... I think you can easily lose yourself there in the worst way. I think it's really cool to visit for a few weeks, but I wouldn't want to actually live there. And I never said I'd live in a sh#thole to have lots of space. I'd just prefer a safer city where I can actually afford a room with warm water...
I didn't think you necessarily were that kind of person since I don't know you,, but I know plenty of people who are, which is why I mentioned them. I've never lived in NYC, but I used to live in Chicago (worse than NYC when it comes to crime) and London which have both the good and the bad that you mentioned, and thought it was totally worth it. Similarly, I grew up in a peaceful suburb with tons of space, and I now reside in fairly-safe-but-oh-so-boring Dublin, in my opinion, none of these positive elements are worth it.
@@Ella-by9yk If you keep Alt while placing any object, you can put it whenever you want precisely You couldn't do it with doors and windows, which was sooo annoying if you have the "I want everything to be centered/aligned/symmetrical" syndrom I recommend you check a video of LilSimsie which is called : "How to Build a House in The Sims 4 (Builder's Bible: Building Tutorial) " From 1 year ago !

It literally needed a whole new game to make the sims realize they need to fkn steep their game up like literally step their GAME up and not putting out cheap ass packs which you like to play for just 10 minutes
Its a typical problem with sims community. Before seeing the actually pack, it goes berzerker. Sure EA did lot of sh@t things for sims "my frist pet, im looking at you" but, lets see first before going crazy
WOW this pack shows the sims team finally listening. More neutrals, more swatches, BETTER swatches, alt placing doors and windows...it’s phenomenal. The apartments are great. They gave us a brand new pack on top of fixing a lot of issues for us. Love this and I’m so glad you made this video Kayla!!
@@JR-eu2pz Alex has been working on paralives for a whole year now, and another company owned by a guy who used to work for the sims is also creating a life simulation game so ea knows they gotta step it up
@@JR-eu2pz not rlly sims UA-camrs have been posting about paralives for a while now like a couple of months so the sims team definitely knew about it while working on this pack
@Ada Guedes I've got something I uploaded to the gallery (an unlicensed nightclub that, in my backstory for it, was made out of discarded shipping containers by Strangerville's teens) that I'll have to rebuild when I can actually make shipping containers. That shipping container look will also be really good for making train cars. I'm working on a total rebuild, and my group of runaway kids need some old boxcars to live in.
joellevc in order to build curved fences you have to make it be a "patio", you can't just like make curved walls or whatever. Makes me wonder if they're just showing that ability off or whatever.
Paralives: *Alt placing windows and doors for the first trailer* Sims 4: *Hey look! Alt placing windows and doors! Plus, Ladders!* Lmao, like they didn't have the "ability" to do it before?! I'm glad they have some competition now, and are actually listening! 😌
Shame on EA. They're just start improving when Paralives is getting on the way. They don't want The Sims to end up like SimCity. Death is in their eyes. I still won't buy another sims game though.
there’s so many different elements to this pack- shipping container builds, making loads of things, living eco friendly, apartments, good CAS and objects etc... i don’t get why people are complaining?? i don’t buy packs but this i just might
@@milkweechris8181 That's the thing right, why are people complaining before they even see the actual pack? I've seen a shit-ton of comments about people encouraging others (who are excited about the pack) to boycott the pack.
It started from the fallen expectations from when people thought they were gonna get a farming EP and the segwayed into a (let's be honest here) terribly made trailer along with the "official gameplay" video. It didn't look too promising and it seemed like a obvious attempt for a cash grab. After seeing this however, it has gotten me a tiny bit excited
justnobodyhere lets be honest here the trailer was poorly made. Which was the packs downfall. Most people thought it was shitty and was expecting farming so people were outraged.
justnobodyhere im so fed up of seeing sims being criticised by the fans, with this pack you can see they tried to give us what we like- the container builds were so popular, the diy/making stuff is too shown by people wanting knitting etc but they just can’t win
I was hesitant with a positive feeling about this app ack when the trailer came out. Then the gameplay trailer came out I I felt even better about the pack. THEN Kayla uploaded this and I haven’t even finished and I am already IN LOVE with this pack!!!
Complete disagree and I'm really disappointed with lilsimsie for always siding with EA. They've stripped away so much depth from this game, and game changers are destroying it even more because none of them will never give EA a bad review.
@@Luminousmorrow have you watched basically any of her other overviews? i don't think there's really a problem with her not being able to say stuff lol
@@briapryor1709 disagree. You don't get the apartment traits that were in city living, you don't get festivals, you don't get some of the exclusive interactions AND SAN MYSHUNO IS THE BEST WORLD FIGHT ME
Carlicia Powell oh my god i completely forgot that we used to not have toddlers. I remember I went on sims one day and that little pop up came on saying toddlers and I was like oh my god !!
I actually really want this ep now. I was kind of neutral when the trailer came out, I thought it was a cool concept but was kinda cautious because it’s EA, we know the drill, but this genuinely seems like a really cool pack. I want it.
literallyyyyy i certainly didnt have the wider community's response of oH I HATE IT EWWW but i was kinda Hm. Doubtful initially ykno but having seen the gameplay trailer, having read some more on the ea website, and having seen this??? IM SO DOWN OMG
This pack has the potential to be one of the best packs they ever made. And so many people still hate it because it ain't about farms. And in addition we get a huge free base game update so why y'all complaining
We were complaining because it just Recycled what two other packs did. But hopefully, this makes off the grid waay better. And so far, it has potential.
UA-cam Fan this pack has nothing to do with seasons and is not at all related to it so you can’t compare them,you don’t need to buy it if you don’t like it
@UA-cam Fan yeah you cant say that seasons is just a completely different theme and all the other packs Seem like stuff packs next to seasons and cats and dogs But we didnt even See the gameplay and there are so many CAS and build buy Mode objects you cant just say its the worst Pack...
@@Kim-dl2uk exactly Its like someone randomcould have said that we would get a Million new objects and worlds and people would complain if EA only puts in 900k
So, watching this in 2024 right before Life and Death pack release.. how have I had this expansion pack since release and didn’t know about over half the features of the packs?! This is huge!
The cars in the apartments parking lot, there's a lot of them. They'll probably change to bikes as community gets more green but I wonder if we'll have cars available soon.
im kinda salty they didn't put cars in this one, because it would affect the world so much more, in plumbella's review she put out today she talked about the lack of ways to make the world more industrial, and i feel like cars could've been big in this aspect.
10:38 the fact we can free place doors and windows is honestly life changing. I thought we were going to have to wait for the sims 5 to have that to happen!
Allright so the comunnitty underrated it. To me this is totally an expansion. I never liked these things in the sims so I didn't expect this to like it, but they made this good. And maybe we didn't see everything yet, but with what I saw it is already excellent.
Yeah, the trailer was terrible. There is a lot of mistrust between EA and the sims community, so it’s not surprising that everyone was quick to hate on this
@@naryainc We haven't seen it in it but it doesn't mean we don't know how it is gonna work and what you'll can do. There is a lot of information and we saw the comunnity system, the machines, the traits, aspirations, skills and more. I could be wrong when this comes out, but all we've seen until now is quite good.
now that i'm seeing more, i wanna buy it yes there's still updates i'd love but this is good. i live in an city in good old georgia and it was built during that industrial boom and the area with a negative footprint reminds me so much of my home. there's so many 18-1900's industrial buildings and the train station especially made me happy
i was so upset when this pack was announced and was convinced it was gonna be awful... but after watching all the early access simmers i'm so amazed. this is shaping up to be one of their best packs. i'm so excited
Same, When I heard about the pack I was like ‘Eco living? Ehh alright then’ but I really like the world and it seems pretty interesting. I’m kind of getting excited now lmao
@@katie9912 there is this thing in a game when a random sim calls you and offers you free earbuds, and it gets really annoying because it happens in every single family. I guess it's a meme now lol
Plumbella did the same. I love how known she is as a builder that they don't even bother to get upset about it, they just leave it for simsie to take care of it! XD
and thinking they were all hating on this pack. i saw since the trailer that this was going to be a fun pack. this is the best pack they ever made. so much to do
Watching this 4 years later is wild. Like hearing simsie say “if they added the occult stuff like the ghost hunter career” was so crazy bc that exactly happened lol so crazy. Makes you think like… what are we saying today in 2024 would be a cool pack or addition that we have now in 2026 and beyond? Kinda cool
I came here after watching James's review. (He has charged you with fixing some of these builds) Was just waiting for you to see that big house in all it's crazy glory. :D And definitely excited to see your joy about the free moving windows and doors.
UA-cam Fan you need to chill.... yes, ea can be a bit ridiculous with packs (ahem spooky stuff) but you can’t judge a book by its cover. This pack hasn’t even been released to the public yet. Just wait to form your own opinions, okay?
UA-cam Fan can you NOT? you can’t tell anyone - nor do you have the right to - tell them whether to buy city living over eco living. imo, this pack looks alot better than we’d originally thought. if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. but don’t force YOUR opinions on other people that they don’t agree with. let the commenter be excited for a dif kind of apartment.
I'm in love with this pack now! At first I was meh because the trailers really set this pack up for failure imo but after seeing what this pack had to offer I feel so inspired to okay the sims again and I'm so excited! ❤ P.s I cant wait for all if your build renos!
Hi! Your name was mentioned by James Turner so I'm here to check out your take on this new expansion pack. I liked your video and i will subscribe. You have great energy! Keep up the good work.
I love how happy the free movement of the doors made you. That is true passion for builds. lol I get that happy over game play but your happiness spilt over on me and I don't usually get that happy over building changes so ... loved it.
l σ и є l у ѕ σ υ l I know right!!! I loved this pack from the start and I was so upset seeing everyone hating on it. But I’m happy that everyone loves it now!
Honestly, I think it’s because the trailers didn’t accurately represent how cool this pack is. I had nooooooo interest after viewing both trailers, but now seeing all the early access stuff and the Sims Team stream, it looks so cool!! I feel bad that the trailers put a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
I have to admit that the world looks pretty cool, but all this eco stuff isn’t interesting to me. I think I’ll just wait an extra month for the pack to be 50% off.
@@naryainc If you say that because the eco living aspect transcends to the other neighborhoods, you can choose to turn off the Eco Footprint and you won't have to worry about it.
I am SO excited for new/more apartments! - Your excitement this whole video has literally been me through every teaser, the gurus live stream and every overview I've watched today. I so love this pack! Tyfs! Hope you have a nice weekend. Best of wishes!
when i saw the trailer i yelled in joy because i've always wanted stuff like this in the sims! i knew from the moment i saw the trailer that i was going to enjoy this pack a lot and now after watching this video i'm convinced that this is a pack i'll really want!! definitely will be buying it !!!
tomorrow i have to work on the local hospital because of the coronavirus thing and everyday before my work schedule i have a mental breakdown. kayla, i laughed so hard over your reaction about to alt place windows. i love you. thank you for being this piece of peace for us, simmers. you never disappoint. 💖🍀
I’m actually so excited for this expansion pack to come out, I feel like it would be fun to see a world transform. Plus the container homes are so cute
I'm going to stream on Twitch later (4pm ET/9pm BST) and talk more about this pack! I have a bunch of footage to show you, so hopefully I'll see you there! www.twitch.tv/lilsimsie

Lmao, like they didn't have the "ability" to do it before?! I'm glad they have some competition now, and are actually listening! 😌
Competition is a blessing. Otherwise, EA might have saved that window/door tech as a selling point for TS5.
@@Cynna1065 Right! And that's on period.
Shame on EA. They're just start improving when Paralives is getting on the way. They don't want The Sims to end up like SimCity. Death is in their eyes. I still won't buy another sims game though.
@@Kanal7Indonesia one more chance on my end im just so disappointed the sims franchise was my childhood and it might go to shit
Ehlana Jammeh They were really negligent too long. I'm anticipating Paralives.
everyone was judging it really quickly but in my opinion it’s actually a good pack and i think o might buy it : D
Me too I am really excited to play this pack
I am also excited , everyone is complaining about it though
I think I’m gonna buy it too. It looks fun!
I know right!? I honestly think that it's an amazing pack.
I genuinely REALLY like this pack.
*lilsimsie* : "Yeah i'm just deep cleaning!"
*lilsimsie* : "BUT NO!"
*lilsimsie* : "I was deep gaming UwU!!!"
*Me* : "And this is why i'm subbed."
This makes me want to buy this pack

No one:
Kayla: oooooh! They actually made glass roofs look cool!!
there’s so many different elements to this pack- shipping container builds, making loads of things, living eco friendly, apartments, good CAS and objects etc... i don’t get why people are complaining?? i don’t buy packs but this i just might
people where complaining because they had concerns that it wasn't gonna be Good enough cuz it didn't look like much at first
@@milkweechris8181 That's the thing right, why are people complaining before they even see the actual pack? I've seen a shit-ton of comments about people encouraging others (who are excited about the pack) to boycott the pack.
It started from the fallen expectations from when people thought they were gonna get a farming EP and the segwayed into a (let's be honest here) terribly made trailer along with the "official gameplay" video. It didn't look too promising and it seemed like a obvious attempt for a cash grab. After seeing this however, it has gotten me a tiny bit excited
justnobodyhere lets be honest here the trailer was poorly made. Which was the packs downfall. Most people thought it was shitty and was expecting farming so people were outraged.
justnobodyhere im so fed up of seeing sims being criticised by the fans, with this pack you can see they tried to give us what we like- the container builds were so popular, the diy/making stuff is too shown by people wanting knitting etc but they just can’t win
I was hesitant with a positive feeling about this app ack when the trailer came out. Then the gameplay trailer came out I I felt even better about the pack. THEN Kayla uploaded this and I haven’t even finished and I am already IN LOVE with this pack!!!
Samantha’sManyCrazyActivities
Guess City Living is useless now, especially since it’s selling point was apartments.
Complete disagree and I'm really disappointed with lilsimsie for always siding with EA. They've stripped away so much depth from this game, and game changers are destroying it even more because none of them will never give EA a bad review.
B K has it occurred to you that she genuinely likes the pack? Or does everybody have to agree with your tastes?
@@Luminousmorrow have you watched basically any of her other overviews? i don't think there's really a problem with her not being able to say stuff lol
@@briapryor1709 disagree. You don't get the apartment traits that were in city living, you don't get festivals, you don't get some of the exclusive interactions
AND SAN MYSHUNO IS THE BEST WORLD FIGHT ME
Oh God I think EA is a little scared of Paralives
I was thinking the same thing. The window movement came directly from the Paralives' first reveal trailer. LOL.
Inga Walerian they should be. They deserve to lose followers after being negligent soo long and releasing annoying packs just to milk our money.
Sooo true
I doubt it
@@niccolom4556 not it's terrible mechanic feature cost of a trillion dollar like a tons biggest sun in our universe
In the future, we’ll all be like: remember when we didn’t have ladders in the sims 4? 😂
Just like we used to with pools lmao
Or free moving doors and windows, or firefighters, or repoman, nor toddlers....man we come a long way and it took forever to get here 🤣
@@carliciapowell4023 (If you watched Broken Dream.) Lillith can FINALLY be a firefighter!
In the future, we BETTER be like: remember when we tore a pack to shreds without even seeing it?
Carlicia Powell oh my god i completely forgot that we used to not have toddlers. I remember I went on sims one day and that little pop up came on saying toddlers and I was like oh my god !!
I actually really want this ep now. I was kind of neutral when the trailer came out, I thought it was a cool concept but was kinda cautious because it’s EA, we know the drill, but this genuinely seems like a really cool pack. I want it.
same!!
I felt the same but now I really want it it’s so cool
I feel the same.
DragonNerd3 sameeee
Me before this video:
“Oh this is.. promising..?”
Me after this video:
“𝙊𝙃 𝙎𝙃**“
literallyyyyy i certainly didnt have the wider community's response of oH I HATE IT EWWW but i was kinda Hm. Doubtful initially ykno but having seen the gameplay trailer, having read some more on the ea website, and having seen this??? IM SO DOWN OMG
I'm literally jumping of happiness, this reminds me of why I love the sims!
ITS ALMOST LIKE SEASONS II
How do you make it go diagonal?
“I’m gonna have to disagree with the diagonal bed”
Me, with a diagonal bed: 👁👄👁
Choices
May I ask, why? Why the diagonal bed?
what were you thinking graham
Pls don't be a interior designer ❤❤❤
It's okay i have one too
This pack has the potential to be one of the best packs they ever made. And so many people still hate it because it ain't about farms. And in addition we get a huge free base game update so why y'all complaining
We were complaining because it just
Recycled what two other packs did. But hopefully, this makes off the grid waay better. And so far, it has potential.
UA-cam Fan this pack has nothing to do with seasons and is not at all related to it so you can’t compare them,you don’t need to buy it if you don’t like it
It's so unfair that they judged this pack on expectations that weren't even promised by ea
@UA-cam Fan yeah you cant say that
seasons is just a completely different theme and all the other packs Seem like stuff packs next to seasons and cats and dogs
But we didnt even See the gameplay and there are so many CAS and build buy Mode objects you cant just say its the worst Pack...
@@Kim-dl2uk exactly
Its like someone randomcould have said that we would get a Million new objects and worlds and people would complain if EA only puts in 900k
So, watching this in 2024 right before Life and Death pack release.. how have I had this expansion pack since release and didn’t know about over half the features of the packs?! This is huge!

Nobody:
Simsie: **Looks at Vases** Best part of the pack right there
The entire sims team watching her videos together, expecting harsh critique
lilsimsie: *celebratory noises*
The sims team: *amazement noises*
I like how the door is called “this is not the door you’re looking for”
GENERAL KENOBI
this is not the droid you are looking for 😂
The cars in the apartments parking lot, there's a lot of them. They'll probably change to bikes as community gets more green but I wonder if we'll have cars available soon.
im kinda salty they didn't put cars in this one, because it would affect the world so much more, in plumbella's review she put out today she talked about the lack of ways to make the world more industrial, and i feel like cars could've been big in this aspect.
I feel that cars are really close, lately they put everything in the right pack (in my opinion) i hope they create a generation pack with cars.
I feel cars would be its own stuff pack, or in a "hobby" expansion pack
what if they saw paralives and was like yeahhh we f'd up
The sims team have probably been paying close attention to the development of paralives since more people have been talking about it since last year.
Alternative title: lilsimsie being extremely excited for 22 mins
You got a heart! Cgs
Bxtter Cream aw thx
HAHAHAHA Lol
10:38 the fact we can free place doors and windows is honestly life changing. I thought we were going to have to wait for the sims 5 to have that to happen!
I am FINALLY going to alt place doors in the middle of hallways 😭🙌

me, an art nerd: THE COLORS ARE COOL
Allright so the comunnitty underrated it. To me this is totally an expansion. I never liked these things in the sims so I didn't expect this to like it, but they made this good. And maybe we didn't see everything yet, but with what I saw it is already excellent.
The community based their judgements on shitty trailer, so it was fair. But it doesn't mean that the pack is bad
Yeah, the trailer was terrible. There is a lot of mistrust between EA and the sims community, so it’s not surprising that everyone was quick to hate on this
We haven't even seen any gameplay yet though... Cool aesthetics in unplayable areas aren't really anything tbh.
@@naryainc We haven't seen it in it but it doesn't mean we don't know how it is gonna work and what you'll can do. There is a lot of information and we saw the comunnity system, the machines, the traits, aspirations, skills and more. I could be wrong when this comes out, but all we've seen until now is quite good.
@@violetarosner3014 I'm not impressed by what I've seen so far and am skeptical about how it's going to all work. So many questions still.
now that i'm seeing more, i wanna buy it
yes there's still updates i'd love but this is good. i live in an city in good old georgia and it was built during that industrial boom and the area with a negative footprint reminds me so much of my home. there's so many 18-1900's industrial buildings and the train station especially made me happy
nobody :
kayla : in tears because the doors and windows move ...
That's the thing I'm most excited about tbh lol
i was so upset when this pack was announced and was convinced it was gonna be awful... but after watching all the early access simmers i'm so amazed. this is shaping up to be one of their best packs. i'm so excited
Same, When I heard about the pack I was like ‘Eco living? Ehh alright then’ but I really like the world and it seems pretty interesting. I’m kind of getting excited now lmao
It actually looks well made. Surprised
How I’m confused what everyone thinks is so good?
Whoever made that first trailer really underplayed… everything.
absolutely. terribly decorated, no life to it!
did anyone realized the loading screen at one point said "I dont want free earbuds" a thing I have heard simsie say a lot
Time stamp?
It also just said "OK" when she actually said "Alright," and I laughed.
@@thequestionasker The "I don't want free earbuds." loading screen is at 20:24.
nobody:
Sims early access loading screen: *"I don't want earbuds"*
LMAO i almost choked on my tea!!
i thought ‘ok’ was funny but this.
I feel so silly because I don't understand ): What does that mean?
@@katie9912 there is this thing in a game when a random sim calls you and offers you free earbuds, and it gets really annoying because it happens in every single family. I guess it's a meme now lol
Time stamp?
9:45 Her reaction is pure gold
7:19 when you've watched James' video right before this and he literally goes: "Well, we'll leave that to Kayla to sort out" xD
Plumbella did the same. I love how known she is as a builder that they don't even bother to get upset about it, they just leave it for simsie to take care of it! XD
I love how everyone just kinda went "STOP... wait a minute" the moment we all seen the Livestream.
and thinking they were all hating on this pack. i saw since the trailer that this was going to be a fun pack. this is the best pack they ever made. so much to do
@@RoyalUK2023 i didn't understand the hate when it was literally what we voted for and then they took the time to make it
@@meji4966 maybe this pack has no known nanomachine realistic for medical and non-living thing
Watching this 4 years later is wild. Like hearing simsie say “if they added the occult stuff like the ghost hunter career” was so crazy bc that exactly happened lol so crazy. Makes you think like… what are we saying today in 2024 would be a cool pack or addition that we have now in 2026 and beyond? Kinda cool
I came here after watching James's review. (He has charged you with fixing some of these builds) Was just waiting for you to see that big house in all it's crazy glory. :D And definitely excited to see your joy about the free moving windows and doors.
a.a.a.a...APARTMENTS... i am officially sold on this pack like take my MONEY
Same!!
UA-cam Fan how do you know it’s horrible if you never even played it-
UA-cam Fan you need to chill.... yes, ea can be a bit ridiculous with packs (ahem spooky stuff) but you can’t judge a book by its cover. This pack hasn’t even been released to the public yet. Just wait to form your own opinions, okay?
UA-cam Fan can you NOT? you can’t tell anyone - nor do you have the right to - tell them whether to buy city living over eco living. imo, this pack looks alot better than we’d originally thought. if you don’t like it, don’t buy it. but don’t force YOUR opinions on other people that they don’t agree with. let the commenter be excited for a dif kind of apartment.
@UA-cam Fan lol you good dude?
I'm in love with this pack now! At first I was meh because the trailers really set this pack up for failure imo but after seeing what this pack had to offer I feel so inspired to okay the sims again and I'm so excited! ❤
P.s I cant wait for all if your build renos!
Alt placing doors literally changes everything lol
and windows
My jaw literally dropped when she did it
it’s still not my favourite pack, but i can definitely tell that the trailers did it so dirty
Which one is your favorite?
Macy Meyer probably seasons (call me a bandwagon😂)
5000 Subscribers Without Any Videos nah seasons is elite fr one of the best packs imo
@@SubscribersWithoutAnyVid-ss4ff Seasons is definitely one of the best because it adds a sense of time into the game which isn't previously there
Hi! Your name was mentioned by James Turner
so I'm here to check out your take on this new expansion pack. I liked your video and i will subscribe. You have great energy! Keep up the good work.
I was “meh” about the theme of the expansion, but the functional things they’re adding are soooo going to be worth buying this.
Yeah it adds a whole new vibe which I'm not mad at
I wish the next expansion will be about hobbies tho !
@@Jonito_xcx i'm hope that ea add new like this

I love how happy the free movement of the doors made you. That is true passion for builds. lol I get that happy over game play but your happiness spilt over on me and I don't usually get that happy over building changes so ... loved it.
Lilsimsie: “I feel so free right now!” 🤣 We all can relate girl. Lol
Build challenge: Build a house using ONLY one of EA’s shell.

I want her to do that so badly.

The moving windowsssss

The trailer didn't do this justice. This looks SO good.
Whoever did the trailer was fired lol They did the pack so dirty, it looks so cool!!!!
Babi Ferreira wait, i might be dumb, but did they really get fired? Im very slow
IKR this pack looks so good yet the trailer made it look (ironically) like trash
I love the trash/industrial style better, when you have homeless sims It's so usefull for screenshots
this rotten like biggest star in universe of giant ass
the furniture they’re adding is sooooo good. it’s beautiful. they’re kinda finally giving us what we want 🥺
when i see that the we can freely place doors and windows, I'm like:
hm the paralives stress has finally got to them huh
I'll bet that's why.
Fax tho
i was thinking the same thing!😂
Totally and I'll def be getting both games Paralives and the pack since the sims team is finally listening to what the community wants
I've literally never been so excited for a pack in my life oh my GOD
The realisation that you can now alt place doors and windows has competed my day. I am so happy 😊
I...kinda want to buy this pack...it looks really cool!Its a shame that everyone was judging it before trying it!
l σ и є l у ѕ σ υ l I know right!!! I loved this pack from the start and I was so upset seeing everyone hating on it. But I’m happy that everyone loves it now!
Yeah!
Honestly, I think it’s because the trailers didn’t accurately represent how cool this pack is. I had nooooooo interest after viewing both trailers, but now seeing all the early access stuff and the Sims Team stream, it looks so cool!! I feel bad that the trailers put a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
i'm gonna acquire a "surprise extended demo" of this pack once it's released
oh yeah, because we don't have any previous unpleasant experiences with sims 4 packs
7:16 I can't believe we have a McMansion.
Honestly I'm loving the whole pop-up low cost suburbs style to start with.
19:26 did anybody else see how on the loading screen it just said, 'ok' !!! 😂😂😂
Also at 20:25 it says ,'I don't want free earbuds!'
I saw the earbuds one, actually had to go back and rewatch cause I wasn't sure I read it right lol
I scrolled specifically to find this comment 😂😂😂
I think they are answers to texts that bugged and showed up in loading screens instead. It is a pre-release version after all.
@@Libertyking yeah, thank you, that makes sense 😂
They're things lilsimsie says a bunch I wonder if they personalized them
Did no one else notice the loading screens if “Ok” and “I don’t want your earbuds” 😂
Yes!
16:40 that neighborhood (minus the quarry) is giving me major Over the Hedge vibes
This entire video is simsie just freaking out and “gonna cry!”.
and I feel the same. This patch, and so far the pack, is freaking awesome!
THE DOOR THING THEY DID JUST LITERALLY MADE ME CRY TOO, KAYLA, IM STILL CRYING
PARALIVES... cough cough...
@@jomontanee oh most definitely
Paralives did that first...
9:50 the utter shock that set upon her face, I'm shook too simsie, me too
I have to admit that the world looks pretty cool, but all this eco stuff isn’t interesting to me. I think I’ll just wait an extra month for the pack to be 50% off.
I'm genuinely worried this pack will ruin my regular gameplay.
naryainc wym why?
@@naryainc If you say that because the eco living aspect transcends to the other neighborhoods, you can choose to turn off the Eco Footprint and you won't have to worry about it.
@@caffeinatedpossum Good tip! I'll do that when I buy the pack at 50% off
I'm really excited for the new gameplay, but I too am going to wait for the sale.
Since we have ladders now in the sims 4, that means we might get bunkbeds soon!!
Genevieve or both I hope,we really need them a loft bed would have been perfect for sims university because we could have put a desk under the bed!
Genevieve oh sorry lol 😂 my sleep schedule has been horrible sorry
I am SO excited for new/more apartments! - Your excitement this whole video has literally been me through every teaser, the gurus live stream and every overview I've watched today. I so love this pack!
Tyfs! Hope you have a nice weekend. Best of wishes!
when i saw the trailer i yelled in joy because i've always wanted stuff like this in the sims! i knew from the moment i saw the trailer that i was going to enjoy this pack a lot and now after watching this video i'm convinced that this is a pack i'll really want!! definitely will be buying it !!!
Same. I got my mom to watch the trailer and she literally said "that is so you." I definitely want this pack bit I'm probably going to wait for a sale
Armyyyy🥺
I’m not fan of this pack but im still going to beg my mom to buy it for me
i’m SO glad that the apartments are small/regular sized. i love apartments but the city living ones are HUGE lol
Really? There are some small ones. Like the one neighboring Penny
Karolina Jarosz Yeah, some of them are small! Most of them are too big for my taste, however :)
Sims saw Paralives had free placing doors and said "we gotta upgrade"
lets be real, paralives scared the piss out of the sims 4 because now they have to put effort into their packs to compete
Yesterday I was like "I wonder when early access comes out for lilsimsie"
BOOM lilsimsie posts with early acess!
Love your profile pic lol

I feel like the devs just make these houses to see your reaction now. 😂
The trailers did this expansion pack dirty- it’s not half-as bad as the trailers present it to be ^-~
I don't think it helps that some of the changes can't really be shown that well in a trailer.
It wasnt the trailers, its this toxic community. Deciding something isn’t worth if from a 2 minute trailer...
I loved the trailer, it felt so new. We never had that kind of pack in any franchise !
am i the only person who found it funny how when the loading screen was up it was just ok
tomorrow i have to work on the local hospital because of the coronavirus thing and everyday before my work schedule i have a mental breakdown.
kayla, i laughed so hard over your reaction about to alt place windows. i love you. thank you for being this piece of peace for us, simmers. you never disappoint. 💖🍀
this makes me want to move my family to evergreen harbor and give up their apartment life for a green eco lifestyle 🤭
Truuue just imagine having a cool neighbourhood and doing eco stuff, that's weirdly my dream
this pack came out wayyyy beyond my expectations. i love it
Well, it is entirely possible for both (Apartment living a green eco lifestyle)
"I'm so glad we have ladders now, that's such a game changer!"
EA: "hehehehehehehehehehe game changer"
I’m actually so excited for this expansion pack to come out, I feel like it would be fun to see a world transform. Plus the container homes are so cute
I knew they were gonna up their game as Paralives has been revealing their stuff
