Who else is taking advantage of the 50% expansion sales but checking LGR’s reviews beforehand?
Yep. XD
Lee Collier how often do they have sales (I’m on xbox sadly so Idk if it’s different)
Yepp
me im buying them rn cuz theres nothing to do
Me right now lol
"Be aware that Cats and Dogs do take up a Sim's slot in your home, so if your house is full... Well, I'm sure you can free up some space"
*Sets the children on fire*
Pets are our children
I've had to send several dogs to the shelter to free up more "try for baby" space. This would have made me upset, except I really don't find the pets in sims 4 that interesting. Even with the mod to control pets, they're really just a nuisance.
or delete some
i fucking SCREAMED
He could’ve just got rid of the cat ear hair guy and the alien.
nailed it with the "in bread" joke mate!
Was especially proud of that one, hehe
Aznromeo never expected you to be here!
LGR Yeah that was a good one bro
I was going to make a pun but I would sound CHEESEY
2.25
Next The Sims business model. The Sims 5 expansion packs:
The Sims small cats, 39.99;
The Sims big cats, 39.99;
The Sims small dogs, 39.99;
The Sims medium dogs, 39.99;
The Sims big dogs, 39.99;
The Sims Cat's and Dogs special deluxe limited bonus content, 69,99.
Total 269.94 dollars
Don't give them any ideas.
Take my money
Bruh, what's this cheap price? That price will come out when Sims 6 come around, it's 59,99 per pack, obviously, because if you want a game you have to give up real life food and possibly live in a tent in the park, but hey you have a Sims game with all the expansions :/
Claudio
Nah, they’ll sell it by breeds
Claudio and I bet people will buy it too!
"When you've got chairs, who cares?" True
yep
Iron Seagull omg! I didn’t know both of my favorite UA-camrs are friends!❤️
Heh, we've tweeted each other a couple of times but I don't consider that quite enough to be friends yet lol. But my style of criticism is heavily inspired by him
Nice to see you here too Iron Seagull! :)
Iron Seagull love you and your videos! Also LOL it's so true! In a future update we should be able to be friends with chairs. Lol
I can't wait to play the next expansion: Summer and Winter
I am Dead! LOL
bruh that joke made my DAY
Lmfao😭😭😭
Funny, but sad part is, they might actually do it XD
the seasons pack could actually come out. there are a few hints in the game that may link to a possible release of a seasons pack.
simscommunity.info/2017/01/17/the-sims-4-possible-seasons-hint-found-in-toddlers-update-speculation/
okay but what if they made the loading screens look like your sim sitting in a car or train or something? like maybe traveling between lots it would be your sim driving a car an traveling between towns they'd sit in a train. And they would have like minimum animation ex.g.laughing or reading a book? I mean i guess the loading screens aren't that big of a deal but it would be kinda cool
That’d be worthwhile
i would rather have the loading screen, just like in the sims 3. Simply hate that I can’t walk around the city because of the loading screen
@@CuriosoMundos Agree. In Sims 2 I never went anywhere outside the house, because it was too annoying to sit through the loading screen. It wasn't worth it when I'd only be able to spend a couple hours at the other lot due to my needs getting in the way. The last thing I want is to go back to that. Now that EA has given us more, I EXPECT more. I think that's pretty fair if they want us to spend hundreds of dollars on a game we already owned. At this point they're literally charging us for SEVERAL new games and barely giving us ONE new game worth of content. I can't believe people are falling for it, honestly.
I really like your idea. We could even have cars and garages!
i don't mind the loading screens I hate that if I arrive at a bar or whatever, they then start appearing and doing stuff. wich is kinda... lame.. like they open the shop/bar when I arrive. a lot that is so annoying are the constant calls every 2 min. oh come let's go to the club at 2pm. 🙄
aww, i'm sorry for your loss :(
I Want Boba same
I STARTED TO TEAR UP IN THE PART :
Its sad that he had lost his cat
I Want Boba weird flex but ok
*O-0 Allura! You've come back from the dead!!!!*
I agree about the interface thing. Without any UI related to pets, it makes them seem like objects, not members of the family.
The Honest Author you can actually ask them what’s wrong though, I just wish we could see their age
The part I can't stand is that there is no way to tell what relationship one animal has with another, and no way to force interactions. I keep trying to mate two cats together, but they don't like each other and I guess they never will.
Thank you that's exactly how I feel. And because of it makes me less inclined to even have them in the first place.
Samantha Norton Can you use the "Be nice to..."? That is supposed to make your pet friendly towards someone. I would do that a lot and then later encourage them to mate (which really is a bit creepy that you can x) ).
oh so you can actually tell how your dog or cat is feeling and wanting in the real life. no, but they are still members of your family.
As a cat owner it breaks my heart hearing about your cat at about 11:00. I like to think as long as you did your best to give that little furball the best life it could have you can be happy that it spent its life so well. Keep it up my dude
shadoom I never thought I'd cry watching a review for a Sims game. (Wtf, Clint!) I really wanna recreate my cat who passed this year, too. 😿
Bruna Feitoza it made me remember my deceased cat 😿😿
Totally crying.
I teared up too. I made my current cat in the Sims 3 a few years ago and the thought of not having her anymore and only seeing her in Sims form someday really gets me.
I recreated my kitty (had to put her down in April from worsening kidney disease), I was so happy but I haven’t been able to play with her yet because I’m not sure if I can take it
I made my childhood dog that passed about 5 years ago and mixed him with. A fox. All I could think was, "This is something I'm going to be talking to a therapist about some day."
My personal rule of thumb: no Sims 4 expansion is worth more than $20.
i got it on sale 50%, and it's still not worth it. A complete waste of money this pack was. EPs are getting worse and at the same time GPs and SP are getting better. At this point a GP offers more or as much as an EP.
RememberRox Yeah, that's pretty on the nose. The only EP I really found to be somewhat worthwhile was Get to Work, which I felt had some improvements in terms of the career system over its TS3 Ambitions counterpart. It just seems like they're simultaneously dragging their feet and dropping the ball with these expansions. Some like to argue they're taking their time with them, but judging by what we've been getting that doesn't seem the case.
I got a sims 4 bundle with cats and dogs. So I got the sims 4 base game and cats and dogs for $50
CosmicAngel Was that the Origin bundle?
I recently got Sims 4 + Cats and dogs for something like £30 on Origin when it was that 50% sale for 18yrs of Sims or whatever.
But yeah on it's own I can't see the EP being worth much but as a bundle I thought it was alright since I can make families with pets from the get go rather then wait years for it to show up lol.
Sorry about your recent loss Clint, 17 years is a long life...I definitely can empathize I lost 2 cats a couple years ago who were both 17 as well
Black Sheep72 Same here, always been more of a cat person. I literally lost my cat (as in stolen), even though she was hardly in peak condition or a rare/valuable breed. But I missed her unique personality and still do to this day over 10 years later. She always seemed to prefer my company to anyone else which I found odd but I guess she clearly just felt comfortable with me for some reason.
So I too totally understand how humble it can be to recreate a pet, especially if you can emulate his/her personality traits.
Pictured is now 18 and still going well, I feel so lucky, but yer I've had a few cats over my many many years.
my 16yo cat died 8 months ago :(
We never had cats, only dogs. Our dog turned 13 years old when he passed away. For a boxer that is a old age as they tend to get around 10 years old. Grew up with that dog, lost him when i was 15 and now that has been more then half a life time away for me and i still miss him every day. Once a pet goes into your heart they will never leave again.
My one year old dog passed away on February 15th ;(
This is practically the only real review for ts4 anymore. Everyone is talking about how great everything is because they want a free early access code... 😣
Abi PK dude they also get free trips to EA headquarters when new stuff is released
I saw one sims channel 'reviewer' get totally beside herself over a 'boat' which when you clicked on it brought up a travel loading screen. She called it 'a totally new means of transport'.
It was The English Simmer actually.
The Mudpit ah, okay. Must have confused them since they’re all pretty much the same
Boyce -- That-Was-A-BURN.gif
I played a few games in Sims 3 while only controlling cats and letting the humans do their own thing. Having pets be playable doesn't force you to play them. Having them be unplayable just limits players who would like to control them.
I actually like it that their not playable. Gives me challenge to take care of them.
@@jeromealday614 I refer you to the original point made: It's not fair to stop EVERYONE from being able to play their pets, whether they want to or not, on the basis that SOME people apparently don't have the self control to just not control their pet.
You had the choice in previous titles to not control your pet if you wanted the extra challenge. Now NO ONE has a choice. That's not better, it's worse. They've removed player choice from the equation.
@@LordofFullmetal I originally played Pets on Sims 2 that's why I prefer it that way. Anyway, I guess you have a point.
thankfully modders excist
@@vixian5178 Modders make our lives so much easier.
Haha they didn’t give you a code because you tell the truth? Wow
Simalicious357 y should they either
Andy Pandy because they did with pretty much all the rest. It's not his fault they're not providing a lot of content and he is honest about it.
Sounds like they don't want to support honest reviews, just biased ones.
@Perrie Loves well it is not negative when it is true.
@Perrie Loves so he should only say postive things? They should censor negative reviews?
awww i'm sorry about ur kitty. thanku for posting this review!!
It's a "spoiler" revealing that someone's beloved family pet died?
Turquoise Cheetah LOL WTF
YOUR CAT IS BEAUTIFUL
Lucia Fiorini
I was thinking the same thing!
i really want to see a game pack with farm animals and horses. not a whole new expansion pack, just a gamepack where my sims can be lil farmers with cows and goats. also, there should be an update where ea adds rodents, birds etc. if someone has this ep....
And you can milk them and have chickens and newcjob as an Farmer
Here's a functional chicken coop mod by Icemunmun. I recommend checking it out in case you're interested!icemunmun.blogspot.com/2019/02/functional-chicken-coop.html
@@wiktoriakohman2200 or yano maybe you could have animals without exploiting them for their reproductive purposes?
@@269kd yes you could, but they produce things sims eat (and humans too), so it's only natural.
@@Erri_17 So taking a calf from their mom and killing them is natural?
I think I'm the kind of person who will enjoy this pack, but I'm going to wait for a sale. I could buy really good COMPLETE games for less than $40.
Cinnamon Bun It’s 20 bucks rn
Yeah, I know. My original comment was made before it was put on sale.
Cinnamon Bun alright just wanted to let you know so you wouldn’t be missing out
Yeah same, I would really love this pack. Its gonna be fun trying to recreate my cat in Sims. And also, I've always wanted a dog. So a border collie would be nice.
Raccoons are cats? Sure, why not
that explains why captainsauce got a Raccoon, in his video on the sims 4 cats and dogs.
ua-cam.com/video/dK1DMIiIwvc/v-deo.html
well cats are assholes
No Lube not all cats.
They were in Sims 3 too so . . .
Funny enough Foxes are closer to cats than dogs behavior wise; they're not even close to dogs lineage wise either though.
Woohoo yet another honest review! Yeah I fully agree on the given information thing. Although I like that it gives you more challenge on taking care of pets, you can't even check on information as simple as their age. And the asking price are too high which is a bit disappointing because of the great but not big enough content it offers.
onlyabidoang I agree. This feels almost like a game pack or something in between game pack and expansion pack.
Agreed. It seems like they half-assed it to a degree :/
Love your channel!
onlyabidoang hello! I agree...sort of. The price is steep but the fact that your pets have new clothes and their own create-a-style, it's good enough for at least a smaller price. So I thought that the price could of at least be $25 or $30
onlyabidoang it’s not new that ea wants to push out something out like this for way too much money, unfortunately. 😐
"and unsettling ice cream trucks"
The fact that having cats and dogs in the Sims requires an expansion pack, is just sad to me.
it has literally always been that way across all 4 games??
Tell that to Seasons expansion packs
@@lithiumkid it's still a cash grab and it's just gotten worse. The base is really bare bones so that you're forced to buy all these expansions to get basic things like pets, seasons etc. The game plus all expansions is worth like, what, $400? That's a lot of money for a life sim.
11:22 - YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL DEM FEELZ MAN, BUT MAN... DEM FEELS...
I got goosebumps and starting thinking of my cat I lost two years ago. ;-;
Reminds me of when I lost my cat Sabrina
I lost my Cat Luna last month... DEM FEELS...
Sorry for your loss LGR. I had a cat for 18 years I was super attached too and I was heart broken when he passed. That was 7 years ago and i still think about him from time to time.
Yeah. My 18-year-old cat, Claude, died two months ago, and he was pretty much the exact same age as me. Much to my mother's dislike at the time, he made one of his first appearances at my first birthday and then decided to adopt us. Time to go make him in the Sims 3 :,)
THAT ARROW POINTING AT THE DOG'S 'EXIT' HAD ME IN TEARS! :D
To The GAMES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exit? It points towards 'it' so it must be the entrance.
Wait what?
It's okay, you can say "anus". Or "butthole", if that's what you prefer.
I agree completely. Sucked me in for a couple hours and then I was wanting more from the game. Just seems very incomplete to me. I would have liked to see them incorporate festivals in the city for the pets, and the obstacle course seemed useless unless there was some type of competition they could enter.
Yeahhh exactly
wish i saw this before i spent money on it ...
Sorry to hear about your kitty. 😢
Paranormally Correct what you mean what happend to LGR's kitty?
She passed away and LGR made her in the game (the gray cat).
Aww. Even though I really prefer to have a bird to match my real life, this pack looks really cute. I like the Frankencat and Dogs with the stitching and patchwork. It's like having my own Frankenweenie.
PushingUpRoses Record a video of you playing it
I think the Robot dog or cat would be neat for your Alien sims :)
Same, I'm definitely gonna miss the cockatoos from TS3!
What kind of bird do you own?
I have a GCC myself
I have a cockatiel
Well, that was a wait. Do you think EA stopped giving him the DLC because he reviewed some of them unfavorably?
Freakin' EA.
Without a doubt thats the reason, the rEApers (As I like to call them) are scummy and greedy. Their company name Electronic Arts is as far from real art as humanly possible. TS4 isn't unfun but it's basically a rehash of old content but watered down with age.
Adenite 95, I think so. They probably watched his review and thought "We gave him a code that was totally free for us to produce, why does not he lick our butts out of gratitude?"
Sim 1: we realistic
Sim 4: taco cat with grillcheese sandwich head
How far we hath come
I really wish they would have done more with the veterinarian options. As someone who works as a veterinary assistant in a vet clinic, I would have loved to see the career be more realistic. Having the sim run tests like fecals or heartworm, or staining and looking at ear swabs under a microscope would have been a really cool feature rather than just occasionally mixing up some liquid in a container. Also, having the pet be more unwilling or rowdy when it comes to not wanting to be put on the examination table would have been exciting, especially if that dog or cat has specific traits that cause them to be a trouble maker. Even taking the dogs and cats to be weighed, or looked at for things like fleas would have made the experience all the more fun and realistic. I just feel like they could have done a lot more with this and instead made up a bunch of stuff and then charged a ton of money for the pack.
Honestly I’ve been waiting you’re the only one that knows how to review
Its Manny you can’t “know how to review” reviews are all opinions.
I think the point was about all those people that get free game codes and then talk about only the positives and not having a single negative comment about the game.
At this point I feel like there is absolutely no 'heart' left in The Sims franchise anymore. They hardly listen to players anymore, and they leave out things that worked in previous Sims before...They are just putting these games out now and don't even care about them anymore.
I love corgis I wouldn't say that their COMPLETELY turning a deaf ear on their customers (because they did come out with toddlers, pools, pets, etc. After everyone begged and bugged them abour it). Its just that their not putting any effort in their franchise anymore.
Fang Scott they said ts4 was about emotions. Little did we know they meant playing with ours
I love corgis last time I played sims 4 there we're loading screens r there still?
Andy Pandy There will always be loading screens
Toddlers and Pools is due to their game getting horrible rep if they hadn't tried to save face, or bad time management. Idk if it's the team or simply EA forcing them to rush, but EA make them cut down their game and rerelease packs from previous games to make more money. The complete Sims 3 was like 200 bucks for the FULL game. I don't think that counted stuff packs.
Without its expansions Sims 3 was definitely not a complete game, and just wasn't very fun. By comparison, 4 is garbage even with "expansions". They have to release things the size of Into the Future or Island Paradise before it'll pick up.
I really wish the sims 4 was an open world 😩I miss that
mr clean I know
Me too
I like their open subdivision within neighborhoods thing. It saves us on performance, and loading times.
I kind of do, but then I remember how it made my computer sssooooooooooo hot and loud I could fry an omelette and sing along
@@michaelvalencia398 my computer' motherboard melted while playing the sims 3.....still miss the sims three thought had 3 vacation homes and rebuilt every lot to my designs.
Question: How the heck does hairy count as a personality trait? It's a physical trait because the adjective "hairy" describes the look and/or feel of the subject.
Agree with you. This pack feels like it should be $20 instead of $40.
*10$
here is was $50
You are literally the best sims reviewer on youtube
By far the best!
Agreed. I feel like they could have done so much more with the expansion. Such as not only having a vet job, but other pet related jobs like a pet trainer or a pet catcher were there is an actual pound you can adopt animals from. There could be options to enter your pets in shows and win ribbons/prizes for them. And of course they could have kept the variety of pets you can chose from and could have added even more. But I do like the fact they added a fox 😊
I think it's EA's fault for ruining the Sims. Yes, some of the blame goes to Maxus, but they have to do whatever EA says, and we all know how greedy they are.
E A B A D
Who thinks otherwise? We all know its EA's fault.
Its customers fault. If they make shit and it gets sell, why bother making something better?
Errr Maxis isn't even an existing company anymore. . Just a ghost of the past
who is maxus?
I like the idea of not being able to control the pets too, however, I think it should have been optional. This is a god type game, and as the 'god' of this world, I'd expect to have control over the pets if I wanted to. It's not like controlling eight people at once is realistic either, so that shouldn't be used as an excuse for not controlling pets in my opinion.
And there's so many times where my dog will just, stand, for hours. It's creepy and breaks my immersion lol
Take advantage of mods before they remove the ability to mod their games hoping it would drive up sales of the expansions since theres no one else that provides the game with content.. Also, yes. I know this is 2 years old.
@@rasmusazu self fuckin aware, 2 years old comment.
@@rasmusazuPeople have been modding sims since Sims 1. They very well know modding the game is a part of the experience. They have literally hired modders as employees.
It's such a shame that The Sims 4 has such potential and they only release such few little content. There could be so many ideas like car racing, farms, amusement parks and we just keep getting the same expansion packs with less content.
The Sims 4 is so disappointing!
Cristian Villavicencio I was really hoping for farms/ranches/homesteading type stuff. That would've been amazing! I would've bought sims 4 finally if they did, lol
Amen to this! I'm so tired of their less for more attitude.
Cristian Villavicencio car racing? It’s not an open world
Amen bro
Cristian Villavicencio We may get little content, we do get higher quality.
My beloved Cat of 21 years just died in my arms a few hours ago. Somehow this video is helpfull. =(
Adam Noyce sorry for your loss
Adam Noyce, My cat is around 5 months old and he is a Ragdoll cat. He has recently almost died, I was very scared and when we brought him to the vet, the vet/nurse told me and my family that he probably won’t make it because he was breathing heavily and fast and very very deep. He was only a baby but guess what? The nurse came to my family with a frown. My first thought
Was yup, he’s dead. But a few seconds later she told us, HE SURVIVED! We were all happy. Con is, he’s still very sick and started to cough.
We are thinking he has feline asthma but, we wait to see what’s wrong.
Your cat was most likely the happiest cat in the world to have there final moments in the warmth of your arms. But your cat will never be gone and is still with you in your heart.
Bxriella wow
21 years, that should be an achievement
"It's expensive but it brought back my dead cat, 10/10"
I wish we could see the cats and dogs family tree. My Sims' cat wanders off, and isn't neutered, so he could have a ton of kittens I don't, and never will, know about. I also don't like that even though I have a doggie door, I still have to ask my dogs to go potty.
I even spayed my animals and they still came back pregnant like wtf!!
Michaela what? That sounds like a bug.
Caitlin Means its only a game
Andy Pandy You're right, it is, but I have spent a considerable amount of time playing it.
Caitlin Means i played 5 years worth is that enough?
so sorry for the loss of your cat Clint. that was very touching seeing you play with your cat. keep up the good work sir!
The Cajun Catcher what happened with his cat ?
what i can guess is it died from old age
I absolutely LOVE your sims reviews. They are incredibly thoughtful and thorough while making me laugh. Thank you for such good content!
they left out so much in this pack that i’m afraid that when seasons comes out there wont be winter
Few!! What a relief, I thought there weren't going to be any chairs...
Been waiting for this! I only trust LGR for honest and thorough reviews.
#lazygamereviews4life
I think a great expansion for sims 4 wouldve been to have superheroes/supervillians. it wouldve been like supernatural was for 3, but you could add get to work style jobs.
When the Sims 1 has more pets than the Sims 4
Rini H. simcity 3000 had more pets
So your saying that they added story progression into the game...but only for my dog...great...
KittyLife it could set a foundation for actual story progression... maybe like how they started giving worlds different district with different description
Was I the only one that teared up when Clint talked about his childhood cat?
Yes! *sniff* ... Only you!
**wipes face** YES THE ONLY ONE the only reason my face is wet is because a bunch of ninjas burst into my room and expertly chopped a bunch of onions right in my eyes.
I teared up a bit I admit.
Probably not
I’m so sorry about your cat :( I really love your honest reviews and I agree the price was too high. Luckily, the day pets came out, I got a copy at target because I had a coupon for 50% off. By the way, there is now a mod that lets you control pets
Molly Gardiner Is the mod worth buying the expansion? Not being able to control the pets is the only think keeping me from buying it. Can you see pet traits/skills as well?
when you talked about your cat, it made me emotional. i love cats, they deserve the world.
LOL they will probably make us pay for another pack with other animals to play
MrNeomatrix99 sims 4 fish edition
Andy Pandy only $39.99
Sims 4: Fishin' Season. Limited edition comes with ant farms.
*cough cough* My First Pet Stuff *cough cough*
well...this is awkward...
I agree with being unable to control pets is a good thing, it adds much more of a challenge for me which in the Sims 4, is very lacking,
That's a normal feature for someone who comes from the Sims 2 xD Could you control the pets in the Sims 3?!
The lack of UI for pets really sucks ._.
serratos Yeah, in Sims 2 you can see all their info, age, skills, needs, everything. You just couldn't control them unless you used cheats.
same. i hated dogs and cats in the sims 3.
SimmerJonny i personally loved that it’s back to the way it was in sims 2. taking care of pets in 3 literally gave me anxiety knowing i really had to do everything myself haha
The autonomy in Sims 3 always worked perfectly fine for me. I like to be able to control them. I hate that cats in Sims 4 for example can travel on their own without me having the option to know where they went and what they're doing. They do this even without that trait so yes it's aggravating for me because I can't call them back. I don't like that I can't see their needs, relationships and especially age. I also don't like that they take in a spot for a sim. I think I'm one of the few people that actually likes the sims 3 pets the best
hearing about getting to play with your cat one last time is such a bittersweet sentiment, hits really close to home. that’s the one thing i like about the sims four, you can make sims and pets so accurate to people you know that it feels like they’re real. it’s comforting when you’re lonely and they really feel more real and alive sometimes.
I’m sorry for your loss at 11:00 but thank you for making this vid!
I was kinda-ish waiting for this pack, but then the price in Brazil jumped from the usual 79,90 BRL for expansions to fucking 149,90 BRL!!1! To add insult to injury, the pack was actually being sold at the regular 79,90 in pre order.
I hope EA go down in flames, specially now with the Battlefront 2 lootboxes fiasco.
EA released an official statement about this stating it was a pricing error:
simscommunity.info/2017/11/08/price-of-the-sims-4-cats-dogs-has-gone-up-in-brazil-and-norway-2-days-before-release/
But yeah, it's EA, they haven't exactly done anything to earn my trust in regards to things like pricing and good intentions.
Looking at a converter to usd, since that's what I use 149 BRL comes to USD$47 I am curious, and I mean absolutely no offense, to when BRL becomes too expensive for day to day things there?
XShadowMuncherX They Just like to steal our money. And the real problem is that not a lot of people complain😂. Like the Fallout 4 season pass is 179 BRL 😐. You gotta be a milionare to be a gamer here. 😢😭
I know how you feel mano...
O nome do meu gato "Cabacin".
Marcelo Carvalho I completely agree with you, It happened in my country too, I couldn't buy it as well 😒
I always love the sarcasm and humor in your video and your voice makes it more funnier and your reviews are always honest. I ❤️ it. Expansion packs yearly are annoying, they’re literally dragging the game out.
I was on the edge for getting the pack but your view set it over the edge. Great job it looks really cool and they way you sold it was good and im even more excited about it now than i was before!
The bit about your cat at the end (and giving me a lot of laughs throughout too) just made me click subscribe! :3 Great review!
Why does EA connect pets expansion towns and Autumn? They did that with the Sims 3 Pets town too!
EmiTV I think it’s because it’s animals and animals are associated with farms and we typically think of farms during the autumn because of the harvest. Not to mention it’s autumn right now I’m the northern hemisphere so for a lot of people it probably feels nice since we don’t have seasons atm.
Sorry to hear about your cat. Glad she had a long, happy life with you. Google the poem "Rainbow Bridge" if you've not read it before. That has always helped us deal with the loss of a pet.
Kevin108 ok
Ugh my eyes 😢
out of all of the video reviewers I've seen, you're definitely my favorite. I enjoy your humor and honestly I feel like I can legitimately trust your content, u r faboo keep it goin.
I really wanted birds. :/ If it had all the pets like the past then I'd probably change my mind about this pack. I just don't feel it's worth it without the other species.
None of the packs are fully made in Sims 4
they all feel like game packs
Only one that's "complete" I'd say is the Vampires Pack.
Ikr😭😭
Nur Shahirah Yeah, get to work had only 3 careers, Get together felt unnecessary, City living had a very small city to actually interact with and "pets" is cats and dogs. No one would be complaining if Sims 3 hadn't done such big efforts, sure, it was buggy as hell but you got your money's worth
This sums up TS4 perfectly. The entire game and all it's packs all feel rushed despite taking years to be released and the general feel I always get from each new pack is "laziness". Like they just can't be bothered to put in more effort.
True review is here
Nur Shahirah false
"The scientists were so preoccupied with wether they could, they didn't stop to think of they *should*"
On the nose
I didn't expect to cry at the end but I'm glad you get to see your kitty again 💜💜💜 ill need to get this so I can make my late childhood pets to cheer up my mom.
Thank you so much for this review! I was waiting for it. The thing that really upsets me is that they limit this EP to cats and dogs only, because they wanted them to be in-depth, while we can't even see their age! When EA says things like this, actually make them in-depth or don't say it. For the rest the EP seems pretty nice. CAP looks awesome and I like the new world too. And the build/buy looks amazing! I think I'm gonna wait for a sale or something though. It is not worth the €40 to me. But I do find it a worthy addition to the game :)
Nick Sims I agree I’m already bored with it tbh😭😭
I️ don’t know where you live but if you have Black Friday there, wait for then!
Chance Miles & No, I'm not a boy. I'm from The Netherlands so unfortunately that won't be an option 😥
Nick Sims Oh ok😕 last thing I️ can think of is a giveaway.
your_evilqueen Ah ok, thank you! It was just an example, so it won't change my opinion. But thanks for clearing it up!
I really like this EP, just wish there was more than only cats and dogs. Not even horses, just small pets like bunnies and guinea pigs would make it so much more variable.
Cinnamoncustard I wanted bunnies so badly
Yes! I have a small animal. It sucks.
Love that ending. Your kitty was beautiful :)
I love how you're so enthusiastic about the new Chairs 😂😂
I couldn't agree more - it's fun but once again it feels 'half-baked'. The animals are fun but after a few hours, I was honestly starting to get bored and actually started to see them as rehashed babies. As for the pet stuff... how are there only two pet beds and a handful of toys when there are EIGHT CHAIRS? Chairs are important, sure, but it's; literally called 'Cats & Dogs' and yet the stuff actually available for these animals is, in my opinion, very limited. Considering it took them a whole year to release, I just feel like they got lazy. If they put as much detail into the rest of the pack as they did for the breeds (I must say, I was impressed by how many they'd created) I feel we would all be much more satisfied.
I'm terribly sorry to hear about your cat, Clint. I hope you got a little joy out of playing with it again virtually. Lots of love x
Isobel Rose They made more toys and pet beds, they're just waiting to put them in a stuff pack later on.
+Isobel Rose Yeah I wished they had took that time to focus on content that would expand game-play for all players first before doing this. I'm thinking of seasons specifically. I guess I do like the world in this expansion though, definitely will be buying when a sale happens.
Hopefully we'll get modders that are willing to give us what we actually want, unlike EA!
I would have preferred it if they left most of the breeds out and let the community create them, there's more fun in trying to sculpt a border collie from scratch then just selecting one from the giant list. More items would have been a great trade off. I also wish they would fix the sim lag, my first experience in the game was to direct my sim to introduce themselves to a cat on the street and it took 6 attempts because my sim would just stand there and do nothing for several game hours. This happens with pretty much every interaction in the game now. the game is almost unplayable at this stage.... literally, it does not play!!! - anyone else have this issue? I know theres a lag mod but not sure if its been updated to accommodate pets yet.
Caroline Swift well they couldn’t make more pet beds considering the fact that they couldn’t stop pets from clipping through them, personally I don’t care about the items for pets cause in reality my pets barely touch that shit anyway lmfao
I wonder who you offended in the last review to not get a code this time.
I was just joking but I don't think I said anything about his views. I asked who he offended. Again never said anything about his views.
Smldesmond 45 i’m sorry but I don’t think that’s a thing. The Sims makes enough money to give small you tubers a chance to review it with early access and also give established reviewers access. There’s no hard and fast limit. Clearly this was about the content of the review
Thats why I said who did he offend BUT AGAIN I never said anything about how big or small he was as a youtuber ever so this is not an issue! The first comment response to mine was completely off topic about how small of a youtuber he was and thats not what this comment is about its about who in the internal team did he often not to get one.
Guess EA got tired of Clint calling them out on there bullshit
Personally, I have done buying TS4 packs. I spent a lot of money and the sims are not really controllable, I really don't enjoy playing it and I started playing TS3 again. Toddlers are well done, ok, but they keep deleting actions and doing basically what they want and, in the end, more of a challenge it became unnerving. I'm gonna wait for TS5, hoping EA will sell the licence to some other developing team. Thanks for the review. I enjoy your reviews a lot, you're funny and very smart. Sorry about the loss, here there's another one who understands the sentiment entirely.
Amen to that the sims 4 is an embarrassment all in it shelf. The sims 3 was so much more funner even though there was bugs and crashes at times hey it was funner. I even loved the sims 2 A LOT and that game was fun =]
@@Shayne2555 do you play sims 4?
Watching your videos while doing my make up and now my eyeliner is ruined, i am a foool!
I'm sorry about your cats passing, its so difficult to deal with and I'm glad this game helped you, I wasn't 100% sure om getting this pack but the idea of being able to create a cat like the one grew up with, after 16 years, I miss her massively, maybe this will help. :)
Clint I have so much more respect for you, knowing that it takes this long for you to gather all your information for your reviews. I never would've known if it wasn't for the whole code thing. I can definitely respect your opinion alot more when it comes to these packs.
I looked forward to this review more than the game itself. £35 is ridiculous
35 brittish pounds? Thats 60 Australian Dollars! The pack is $50 AUD. Man, they're ripping off the Brits...
I cant wait for him to do laundry day review
I literally almost cried when you talked about your cat. This pack really can give amazing experiences!
"y u do dis?"
Wan B Maria: "Wan! I choose you, truth or dare?" Wan: "Dare!" Maria: "What happened to samanthas dog?" Wan:"Dare"
can i has cheezburger ?
I was disappointed by the vet "career" because all the advertisements made it seem like it was going to be like Get To Work. The lack of stats for pets is very aggravating. I didn't think "you can't control your pets" meant not knowing any sort of info about how their skills are improving etc. There is an option to ask "whats wrong?" with a notification bubble that pops up after to inform what your pet wants and that's it...Regardless I still like the expansion..just a little irked that things weren't completely what I expected. If you haven't purchased it (or fell for the hype of the pre-purchase like I did) I say wait until they have a sale on it and go for it.
The Artful Brittani to know how their skills are improving just keep teaching them things and a box will pop up saying “___ has learned to/not to do ___.”
updates.
yeah, I've seen those pop up, but It doesn't tell you how many times you have to lecture your pet. there is no bar to show progress. That is what is aggravating. Do they ever stop the behavior? because the cats I've played with so far have yet to stop being on counters after many many lectures.
you have to buy a vet clinic you can't simply choose from the job options to be a vet like you can for doctor scientist, and detective. so no, it is not like Get to Work.
The Artful Brittani lol I’ve been burned by EA one too many times to fall for a pre purchase or buy as soon as something is released. It’s unfortunate that you have to wait for a review or sales in order to make a purchase
I actually did get this pack for $20 by waiting for the Christmas sale on Origin :’) I also got most of the sims 3 packs for $5 on steam sales
I love your review as always and sorry about your loss.
Forgot to mention your Vet employees are almost useless. No one is cleaning when they do its already too late because all the pets will throw up on the floor and every clients will complain about how the place looks. They take ages before treating another patient and when they do, you have time to treat 3-4 different clients before they are done with theirs. If your buying this pack because you want to be a vet. Don't. They will most likely never fix it either.
You must've had some bad experiences. My vet employees are doing pretty good job (Aside from talking to the toilet for 3 hours) and I found it to be the least glitchy and frustrating interactive career out of them all. You actually get shit done and get paid for it, unlike the store, where it takes 6 hours to convince one person to buy a bread lol.
so it's like the doctor career in Get to Work. I stopped going wit my sim becasue i was going crazy.
omg the fucking retail career should really just be re-named the networking career. I got so sick of just clicking clicking and waiting. fucking sims is so disappointing but idk why i still buy this crap
Azore I just created a club to do it because I was so fed up
The cleaning
Your closing comments about your childhood cat resonates with me. A year ago, I've gone through a nasty breakup and the Sims helped me cope with the aftermath. The Sims has always been a comforting and important series to me. Thanks Clint for the review and I'm sorry to hear about your recent loss of an old family friend.
Man I love your vocabulary in your sims videos
Great review, I've been waiting for this video. I love the expansion the new location is great and the whole sea side life has a very nice feel. You should have talked about all the cool build mode stuff and how you can make the house and furniture looked more " Lived in ". Anyway awesome video
I still can't believe EA didn't give you a review copy, also did anyone notice how small Brindleton bay actually is? it's only 16 lots and only 3 households, thats smaller than the base game worlds. not to mention there are more human beds then pet beds in this pack. definitely left more to be desired.
wifcy1012 the open spaces that surround the lots are a lot larger than base game worlds.
True!!
Mods will fill the empty spaces lol
atsuya k Thats true
it's probably so they can bring out a pets stuffpack
"scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could they didn't stop to think if they should" LGR Rap God
actually this was a Jurassic Park quote
I laughed so hard at around 1:32 . That meme-ish picture is hilarious! While I'm posting, Sorry about your cat. My first cat passed away about half a year ago too, so I totally know the feels. Keep up the epicness!
I love how in the pets Expansion Pack you can make a hairless cat hairy and they cough up furballs
When you got chairs, who cares!
-LGR, 13 November 2017
I agree with everything you said, I just wish they would give you the option of playing the animals. Maybe have an on off switch in the options menu.
I think you opened up some feelings with this review. I’ve created pets that I’ve lost for the same reason, to play with them one more time. I’m glad you mentioned it because I can really connect.
Loving that they included some inbread pets too. Toast to that.
