I got access to the pack with the real game today so I was able to test out rebirth on stream... AND IT WORKS!!! I'm so relieved! So it should work as intended when it comes out next week.
In the gameplay trailer, one of the ghost sims (they were red and hugging a blue ghost sim at the ghost support meeting) had a moth inside them. Is that the new symbol for dying of old age?? I can’t get answers anywhere! Reddit didn’t even know!
@@samg461a i think i know what you're talking about, but that's not from the pack, it's from the base game update. When your sim passes away from something, that something is shown when they became a ghost. Since I don't really know how to explain that, the easy way is to go into cas and choose a reason the sim has died, if you choose for example by fire, the ghost sim is going to be surrounded by flames, if you choose by meteorite, inside the ghost you will see a meteorite and etc...
I think it’s a perfect little touch. Children would see benevolent ghosties as imaginary friends. This whole pack is making me want to do actual storytelling playing. I almost exclusively build, but now I’m itching to play and explore.
As a terminally ill simmer who has done things like make my will and planned end of life I actually see my life in this pack. I hope that this pack can get people thinking about their own real life bucket lists and the legacy they will leave behind. 💓
At the very least talk with loved ones about what to do if you get in a serious accident. I also have a section in my droid phone with emergency info where I put a super basic medical directive.
I kinda feel like the ghost scepticism would work better if only some sims were able to actually SEE ghosts. There's a mod for this called Ghastly Ghosts that makes only infants, toddlers and children being able to see ghosts as default, and adult sims need to get a special reward trait or they get to see them only during specific holidays if you set the "Lifted Veil" tradition for them. And ghosts actually get excited when you try to talk to them, they're like "Wait, you can see me!?"
oh my God. OH MY GOD! I'm so getting this mod! I have an occult story save and having this on my main girl will make it sooooo much more fun when I bring in my ghost Sim! Thank you for bringing this up ❤
Yea I have been annoyed by how "normal" ghosts are. Some times it can be fun to see them pop out once in a while, but when I keep being called almost every day by my ghost mother that she wants me to visit AND, because of neighbor stories, she randomly adopts me step siblings that's annoying.
Yeah, this is a great mod. I've always disliked how mundane and boring ghosts (and other occults for that matter) are in the game. So as soon as I read about Ghastly Ghosts I wanted to add it to my game. It makes ghosts much less annoying because they no longer intrude on your living sims conversations and it makes much more sense for your sims to react with fear to objects moving on their own. I am looking forward to the new pack, but I'll probably keep using Ghastly Ghosts (assuming it gets updated to work with this pack).
@higglety230 from what I've read it seems like the creator is planning on updating it around what the new pack has but it's still going to be base game compatible only. They have a graveyard mod too that might be obsolete after the pack so they might not work on it anymore though.
@@nicoleknight6518 Sims 4 is so broken... I don't bother with skills or careers. I just talk to randoms.. make em fall in love and take their cash & sell their assets then ditch them into a different household to prepare for my next victim.
I know right. I guess I can stop pretending I’m just a casual sims player. I’ve been called out After watching James turner’s video and this one immediately after I can’t say I have a good defense against the allegations in my case 😂
This pack feels like a love letter from the Devs to the core fan base. I know that sounds weird to say that, but this pack is truly serving the core of what it means to be a Simmer. Chaos goblin who loves weird ways to die or only play one Sim forever… adore CAS or adore build mode… love the broken down & grunge or the bougie and over the top… this pack speaks to everyone.
Yea they really leaned into the kook. I like when the sims doesn’t try so hard to add realism as if the game itself isn’t quirky. I mean, my family gameplay save has a pet cowplant, this game is not serious.
This entire pack is so Edgar Allen Poe coded. Also, Lenore is the name of the poem he wrote about his dead wife- but not her actual name. He actually got the name from his dead brother. Edit: I completely misread your comment- I now see you were not saying Lenore was his wife’s name. Apologies😂
Thank you so much for linking me as one of the builders in the description and thank you for your kind words about the house I created for the pack (The abandonded/haunted estate). Love you so much, fangirling over here!
@@KateEmerald I love your builds! I'm currently playing in the haunted estate! It's been the most fun I've had with a house in a while as I slowly fix up the house.
For a gothic sims player most my sims are alternative and witches etc so I probably will make alot of my sims reapers or a funeral director and I love all the styles I’m seeing 🖤
i know it might seem like a strange feature, but i did appreciate that you could hire mourners. it is common in my culture because there are so many preparations family and friends need to take care of, that they simply do not have time to mourn the deceased, which is why they hire someone who can mourn their loved one
I was playing yestarday, my sim is a paranormal investigator spellcaster and she's friend with Grim. There was an option to ask to join the Department of Death. He said "There's no available spots but I like your moxie." So I guess one could join the career through that interaction. I think it's cool if that's the case for storytelling purposes.
how have u played it i bought it and now it says its not out until 31st? but the filter is there in cas and build mode but its still acting like i havent bought it?
@@bruisedpancake4568they were playing the Paranormal stuff pack, not Life and Death expansion; it just referenced something that comes up in the new pack
So I've also recently been playing with the paranormal pack, and that option popped up for me to when I was going through the weekly rewards thing whatever. Apparently that option has always been there for paranormal investigators and Grim has always said no. It would def be cool if it's a way to sign up with the new pack vs via the computer or phone.
I agree that the pets should be playable. It would not only be more fun but also add extra storytelling opportunities for players. Ooh, I love that idea. 🤩
As a Addams Family fan, this pack has so many references to their lore, and to the Wednesday tv show, that I find it hilarious. It’s not a surprise you felt the Goth family would fit into this pack, they are a parody of the Addams Family, and this pack is all about what the Addams Family loves: We have a macabre theme, a haunted house in ruins that looks very rich, a career that involves writing horror books…. Wednesday Addams made this pack and I’m here for it.
I think many of the content creators are not liking that the windows are worn. But I think it’s because Romania is an old country. Some of the buildings there have stood for centuries I think, so maybe that’s why the windows are not fully new looking in any swatch. They wanted to retain the Old World style even when something looks to have been refurbished maybe. It does lend itself to the "haunted" theme of the pack. I haven’t quite finished the video so maybe Simsie brought that up but if not, there ya go 😊
Something that i think is really needed from this pack ironically: make ghosts more hidden. Like whats the point of my sims mourning if all they have to do is press "summon ghost" to see their mom again, not to mention I had my ghost father call me to let me know he adopted a kid because of the neighbor story option lmao. Make them invisible and only people in the medium or something careee able to communicate with them. Make summinging need some magic items. Also for this whole "rebirth", let me play an elderly mad scientist hunting ingredients/materials to make himself a new shell to inhabit...having limitations some times is good
no for real I made my sim have a ghost roomate and she keeps morning the roommate at the urn. Like ma'am that's your best friend you talk to her everyday
when i was little i would get so caught up in playing "realistic" saves, if ANYTHING remotely occult/unrealistic happened (alien abduction, fatal accidents etc) i would immediately cheat so that i could stick to my planned out story. but now i find i have SO much more fun just embracing all the weird stuff that happens and then just trying to make it work somehow. i can't wait to see what this pack throws at my saves.
I can feel the “can we get rich by levitating sims and stealing their money” video Edit: there is also a 3 death! When you go to the lake to become a ghost for a short period of time and you do it too often you die. Thats what they said on livestream
9:57 im so happy this pack has careers. Every expansion should come with a few careers in my opinion. The sims 4 is still lacking in careers even after all these years!
I trust Plumbella and Steph0Sims more tbh. Kayla has been questionable about some packs in the past. Like trying to find good things in Wedding Stories - which actively no one should have bought, as it was disgustingly broken. Same with the school packs that were and still are very icky or her whole demeanour when it comes to Kits, that are just Microtransations. As the biggest creator for the game, she should be more vocal, especially as she on many occasions had contact with the Sims team, that should give her more power. I mean she literally pushed for changes through her shell challenge campaign, which ultimately led to specific changes and even her getting acknowledged by being the default name for the Cowplants.
Looking at the CAS, I'm just so happy that there' at least one skirt/dress that fits masculine frame sims. Fingers crossed all of the clothes work on both frames also. Also as a CAS player, I'm so excited for this pack in general, the clothes are GORGEOUS.
Heck yeah! When I'm dressing my masculine-framed Sims in a dress and it changes the shape of their shoulders and chest, it's so disappointing. Like, does every dress come with built-in shapewear? Shapewear that compresses the skeleton?!
As someone who literally lives on a cemetery, where their husband is the superintendent of a historical cemetery in Connecticut, This. Was. Made. For. Me.
so idk if i’m being dramatic but Waylon the ghost might be a nod to Waylon in Skyrim, he’s a soul in the soul cairn and he’s a wandering merchant! just kinda neat if that is actually an easter egg to that lol
I feel like they’re focusing a lot more on expanding general gameplay recently. We got packs that overhauled family dynamics and life milestones, romance, now literally death. I wonder where the change in focus came from.
I think it might be related to sims 5 essentially being canceled for the forseeble future no? now they want to fix aspects of sims 4 that are lacking is my guess
I like to think they made a bet 😅, if sims 5 becomes a success, sims 4 enthusiasts can’t talk shit in the office. Buttt if Sims 5 is a full flop (and it is) they go all in on sims 4, probably adding the things they were gonna have in sims 5 and transferred it in sims 4 ngl. I mean, all that hard work should at least be used right?
Nah it’s because of a game called inzoi it’s like the sims but more real and better in every way and sims was gonna lose all it’s players to that game unless they did something and every since that game became a competition that could make them lose money players and everything else they wouldn’t stop fixing on sims 4 to make it better and keep players
@ healthy competition is good but inzoi was never going to steal all sims players… if you think so then I don’t think you realize how big the sims community really is
I’m so excited they added more ✨adult content✨ to the sims in this pack. Previous Sims games seemed way more adult/raunchy (vibrating heart bed, the stripper cage, etc.) 😂 Sims 4 has seemed way more “family friendly” and watered down, which I have actually hated, majority of sims players are adults!
I know, right? Isn't it so horrible that TS4 without mods isn't Wicked Whims? Especially since they released a whole WooHoo EP earlier this year that brought back a whole bunch of the cartoony-steamy vibes from earlier Sims games. But it's not as if the lazy devs even bothered to include the old-school vibrating heart bed (actually the vibrating heart bed was in that pack). But yeah, most Sims players are adults but not all of them, therefore the devs should cater to exactly what I want and make it so that I don't have to download a mod in order to get Wicked Whims content. 🙄 That was sarcasm, BTW. And I'm not saying I don't have any issues with Lovestruck whatsoever, but it seems a bit silly to me to be complaining about the lack of old-school raunchy Sims content after that EP, because for all its issues, it did deliver on the old-school raunchy Sims vibes.
i love how customisable the funerals are. i have a friend from romania and over there they do often hire mourners to weep at funerals! although my friend has always said she found it quite uncomfortable, it's great to have all these options
Its one small thing that is lovely, but I still kinda wish they focused on more rites and options (especially if they added Green Funerals, which would have been good thing to advertise or like maybe river funerals for cultural factor), instead of adding that gross woo-hoo literally on people's graves inside the crypt. Like that's totally Wicked-Whims/Extreme Violence mods type of thing and actually really grosses me out to think that this is now in the game and can actively happen spontaneously. Likely won't be putting any crypts around, even if I was kinda hyped to explore the rabbit hole in it and to have a bigger grave storage in the game.
Gotta say, small detail: 58:30 the last swatch of the single landscape painting is one of those fun hidden picture paintings with a hidden skull within the branches!! I ADORE stuff like that and it’s PERFECT for this pack!!
I had zero interest in this pack initially but I'm really coming around to it. I really like that it's an original idea instead of just remaking previous Sims packs in TS4. It feels tongue in cheek, it incorporates lore and the aesthetic is pretty fun even though it kinda overlaps with some other packs a little imo. I feel like they really went for something and that excites me. I'm really excited to see how this works in gameplay with other packs installed over a longer period of time.
Death is a pivotal part of the Romanticism after all, hence the beautiful vintage playground items and the fancy eyeglasses. Looks like I have to renovate Bella's kitchen again. Which reminds me, what we really need is a guide on which furniture of which pack are which décor style. I've never played an interior designer, but the preferences haunt me every time in CAS. Moonlight naturism parties is the real selling point of this pack.
@@willnaib ok im SO glad you mentioned this cuz as silly as it sounds i was so anxious to have my sims befriend Nyon and get to the know the son of death, but when kayla said he didnt have the trait, birthmark, or the relationship with grim, it genuinely made me really disappointed. but then i saw your comment and it made me go back to the livestream myself and you are totally right! in the livestream he DOES have the birthmark which means they DID intend for it to be his actual story and not just a piece of lore in his bio. if thats the case them im hoping it was just a bug in kaylas version of the game, and that he will have the trait and have grim listed as his dad in the full release! nervous subject is too iconic to be done dirty like that lol.
@@Bridenbrad it’s not silly at all! in fact i only remembered it myself because nervous subject is my favorite sim in the entire franchise so every second from the livestream where nyon was on screen was burned into my memory XD hopefully it’s not bugged on release… it would be a quick fix on pc (just use mc command center to set the grim reaper as his father and use a cheat to equip the grimborn trait) but i think people on console would have a harder time fixing it.
I would like a "chance of pregnancy from woohoo" setting that's just added to the game without mods, sometimes I like my game to kinda choose it's own story and it takes that away when I have to actively decide all the time if I want to add a new family member 😂
It would work much better if the simology panel had tabs like the club features from get together/werewolf/university. Not an endless scroll, because honestly some times I don't care about their reputation, or if they want me to vote, I'm just always scrolling.
I am very happy they used Romania as inspiration ♥️. A very good choice, We find inspiration from Bran Castle or Dracula's Castle and Decebal's face carved in stone, a beautiful part of Romanian history. And the traditional houses are very realistic. I love that. ❤
I wonder what the world would look like with seasons, imagine being in the creapy neighbourhood with a thunderstorm...also the world will look so pretty in the snow
They put the price up recently from 50is to 70ish for expansion packs where i live... its so much. I have all the expansion packs from before then, but now... it's just so much
I had my sims couple autonomously woohoo yesterday at home, i think it may just be in the most recent base game update. i was freaked tf out cause i was dealing with two infants already and i was like "no, you cant handle a third!"
@@ArynRawr omg! Same here! My sims I oeft them unchedked for a while anf they already had like 4 kids and one in the way 😭 I moved one out since she was an adult and the other one was born. And then they decide to get another kid!!!!!
Do they autonomously woohoo now? Oh no 😂 I have risky woohoo on. I'm gonna play and suddenly my sims who already has triplets and financially struggling is going to have another sims 😅😅
I think it's a bug and I hope they fix it soon. I'm a very loyal person and I also like to write stories with my Sims so I really hated that my very loyal and married sim just started flirting with everyone and now has 15 love interest.
now THIS is an expansion pack! im so thrilled to play with this and i hope EA continues to keep up this mentality of actually putting a generous amount of content into the *expansion* packs
As someone who works in planned giving (nonprofit fundraising through estate plans/gifts in wills) I'm really excited to tell my coworkers about this pack. Having a will is so important (regardless of wealth) and I'm glad the Sims is introducing this feature.
it would have been so cool if relationships in past lives affected the sims in their new lives. like for example, past lovers that get attracted to each other without knowing why, past parents that have a sort of mentor pulsion towards their past children, past ennemies that can’t get along in their new lives, etc. it would bring so much more depth to gameplay, I’m really looking forward moders bringing fun content to the new pack!
I can't wait till Halloween this year. As a 52 yr old gamer Halloween has been boring. This pack is right up my alley. I love anything macabre. Happy Halloween!!!🎃💀👻☠️
Halloween has gotten so commercialized in recent years. It more about what kind of costume you have and drinking parties for adults. Even the kids get upset if they don't have the right costume. Halloween at its roots was a celebration of the dead. What's cool about the Mexican tradition of Dia de los muertos is they continue the celebration of their ancestors I love that. I wish more people of the world did something similar. Does Argentina have anything along those lines that is for this time of year? All due respect I'm just curious?
I love that she explains the good and bad things about the pack and also funny stuff that she recommend doing in the game 😊 I learn so much when I watch her videos! Her explaining every little thing is so good, even better than the sims 4 (their UA-cam) livestreams. ❤ Thank you for taking the time and explaining everything! 😃
Yesterday during the livestream I was so confused why the devs decided to put the ghost powers menu in simology (iirc) rather than needs like all the other occults and your comment about hybrids made it make sense. Since the power menus for ghosts and vampires/werewolves/spellcasters are in two different locations it probably allows both systems to exist without conflict (i.e. no UI overlap).
Kayla, I know what you mean about the style of the buy mode items in the pack. It makes it so there isn't a complete set of anything. The two couches don't match, the loveseat and lounge chair don't even seem to match. It makes for a very disjointed catalog of items, and one is left feeling like there isn't "enough" items. This is where Horse Ranch shined. They stuck to one theme in the buy catalog. One could create a complete build using everything from that one pack, and it all coordinated. I kind of wish they had chosen just one style and stuck to it? Or figured out a way to give us a few pieces that would have blended them? Perhaps if they had also given us counter swatches that were grungy? 🤷♀
I feel like this is soooo easy to design furniture for, and the obvious choice is probably gothic antique or traditional furniture with gloomy swatches . It’s so disappointing to see them fumble something so simple when the rest of this pack seems pretty solid.
I LOVE the difficulty variation in the Bucket List. Simple or hard goals, just like life. Sometimes your goal is to have a child. Sometimes, you just want to poison a sim(I hope this is an option), it feels like it adds to your sims individual personality.
Yes! My bucket list includes multilingualism, reading Les Misérables in a single day, and eating an onion like an apple. Not every bucket list item has to be life-changing 😂
Ooh I wanna have a witchy potion shop up in that spooky area! Have a little place that sells ingredients, crystals, and ready made potions. Ahh sounds so fun!
that might explain that random high romance bar my werewolf and vampire got after being rlly low in the red bc they prehate each other (i made a household w every occult as roomates)
I literally almost never let my sims die because it was always „game over“ for me but i will literally buy this pack for the ghost skilltree alone because that is literally THE improvement ive always wanted for ghosts
Kayla, you look great in black. You should wear it more. Also, love the earrings. 😊👍 I’m so excited to build with the new L&D build/buy! The doors and windows looked so nice!
I really like the heirloom feature. I've been playing the same family since Sims 1 - of course, each new game is a different generation and I'm currently on Gen 5 in Sims 4. I pass down certain items (crafted furniture, family photos, cross stitch) and after a couple of generations, the game no longer says "made by" a specific sim. This will be a game changer for me. I also like the funerals and cemetery lot type. I have 'funerals' and a 'cemetery' but not official.
Imagine being reborn as Olive’s niece like in sims 2?? Ophelia, right? I can’t remember because I was too young for sims back then so I learned the lore from Plumbella lol
wow, there are so many items in this pack. I pre-purchased and am counting down the days to download. The game play sounds so good. I am so glad your review was good. I am so excited.
I used to hate my sims dying especially bc I was a kid and got attached really easily but now I love when they die and the new chapter that brings. I also have a save file a play with a vampire and it’s on short life span so they’re constantly making friends and family members and then forced to watch everyone they know and love die it’s really chaotic and I love it I can’t wait to see how this expansion pack changes this save file
I didn't realize this til recently, but you can drag the top of the simology tab upwards to increase its size. Sure, it's still got a lot of information, but now you've got twice as much space to view it in
Why does the bowtie-wearing spectre around 31:00 named Freddy feel like a FNAF reference😭😭 especially since the spectres are floating around the playground😭
in terms of seeing that nyon doesn’t have the grim born to start with is such a perfect example of the lack of set up that goes into the townies. and that’s not me taking a shot at the dev team because i’m sure there is alot going on behind the scenes. i wish companies really have devs time and money to treat games like the precious things they are
I want the grave swap mechanic for baby bassinets. Sometimes my werewolf gets put in the standard bassinet when I wanted it in the werewolf one. Being able to switch would be a great help!
You can switch right now, but it takes a couple minutes and several loading screens. It's usually not worth it for me but everyone plays differently so... To do this, you need to move your sims out of their house, preferably on an empty lot or just evict them. I would recommend just using "freerealestate" for the whole process, so their money isn't affected. Then go into build mode in the house they usually live in and change out the bassinet for whichever one you want. Make sure that there are not more bassinets than you have babies, otherwise the game might decide on the wrong one. After that, just go back to manage worlds and move the family back into their home. The baby should be placed into the new bassinet. Personally, I would save the house before moving the family out, though. Just in case something goes wrong, mainly furniture going missing or whatever. It would be great if we could just easily change it in livemode though.
Complicated solution but I did this when I wanted to use the new storybook Kit bassinet after my newborn was already born, if you move your sims out, go into build and delete the og bassinet and put in the one you want, and then move your sims back in the baby will be in the new bassinet
Rebirth sounds like "Would you like to start over with a new character in the same world?". If nothing carrys over from the ghost, no traits, goals or skills, then what differentiates a rebirth from just creating a new character to play?
I’m so happy that ghosts are finally a fleshed-out (reverse pun unintended) occult! I’ve never had any incentive to play with ghosts, but now I wanna play as one!
Usually I am ready to absolutely FLAME EA over a new pack, but this looks really, really, promising! I’m excited for a new pack for the first time in a long time!!
as a game developer the shader on the cracked wall/floor items is so COOL. i love whenever game developers do cool parallax stuff and i feel like a lot of sims stuff doesnt do funky shaders so that makes me really really happy
I'm definitely playing a rebirth legacy where its the same sim reborn for 10 lifetimes and each one they're going to live in a new world and have a new experience. I love all of the dark aesthetic and macabre features but I'm looking forward to rebirth the most.
Had such a rough week and I was so excited when I got off work and saw you got early access to the new pack. So excited for the new pack and having this content to watch until it comes out on Halloween makes the countdown until it comes out so much more enjoyable!

Chaos goblin who loves weird ways to die or only play one Sim forever… adore CAS or adore build mode… love the broken down & grunge or the bougie and over the top… this pack speaks to everyone.
Yea they really leaned into the kook. I like when the sims doesn’t try so hard to add realism as if the game itself isn’t quirky. I mean, my family gameplay save has a pet cowplant, this game is not serious.
yes!!! exactly this 🖤
That's one expensive letter...
The Order of Lanore is also an easter egg. Lanore is the name of the deceased wife in Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven."
i was thinking that
This entire pack is so Edgar Allen Poe coded. Also, Lenore is the name of the poem he wrote about his dead wife- but not her actual name. He actually got the name from his dead brother.
Edit: I completely misread your comment- I now see you were not saying Lenore was his wife’s name. Apologies😂
I just read that in school lol
I thought the same! Love me some Poe :D
@@bex1107the poem is called Nevermore 😊
Thank you so much for linking me as one of the builders in the description and thank you for your kind words about the house I created for the pack (The abandonded/haunted estate). Love you so much, fangirling over here!
Thank YOU for doing an awesome job! Seriously loving this pack and the builds of all the simmers that worked on it. You guys are awesome. 💚
@@KateEmerald I love your builds! I'm currently playing in the haunted estate! It's been the most fun I've had with a house in a while as I slowly fix up the house.
“i’m not mourning every baby daddy i get rid of” has me rolling 🤣 22:24
OMG HEIRLOOM JEWELRY!! I'm so hyped to make some jewelry with crystal creations and pass it down through the family!
Why does her beginning tone make me scared it's not good 😭😭
I think EA itself should make you scary more than a creator speaking in normal way.
I think she’s just being transparent which is important
@@Gene_Simsalmost like….. a ghost
@@kellyanncastillo8779 just finished the video lol, it was a red herring she actually likes the pack!
to build suspense of course
For a gothic sims player most my sims are alternative and witches etc so I probably will make alot of my sims reapers or a funeral director and I love all the styles I’m seeing 🖤
Can we talk about how PRETTY Kayla's earrings are!?
Ikr
I never knew I needed little cowplant earrings lol
@xpmirai thank you! I was trying to figure out what the earing are 😂
Thats what I wanted to write! Love them!!!
I love the shirt! You look really nice today Kayla!
i know it might seem like a strange feature, but i did appreciate that you could hire mourners. it is common in my culture because there are so many preparations family and friends need to take care of, that they simply do not have time to mourn the deceased, which is why they hire someone who can mourn their loved one
I was playing yestarday, my sim is a paranormal investigator spellcaster and she's friend with Grim. There was an option to ask to join the Department of Death. He said "There's no available spots but I like your moxie." So I guess one could join the career through that interaction. I think it's cool if that's the case for storytelling purposes.
how have u played it i bought it and now it says its not out until 31st? but the filter is there in cas and build mode but its still acting like i havent bought it?
@@bruisedpancake4568they were playing the Paranormal stuff pack, not Life and Death expansion; it just referenced something that comes up in the new pack
So I've also recently been playing with the paranormal pack, and that option popped up for me to when I was going through the weekly rewards thing whatever. Apparently that option has always been there for paranormal investigators and Grim has always said no. It would def be cool if it's a way to sign up with the new pack vs via the computer or phone.
@@bruisedpancake4568 The new Life and Death expansion comes out on October 31st😊 You won't get access to the content until then
9:36 i wish you could be reborn as pets and the pets become playable.
I agree that the pets should be playable. It would not only be more fun but also add extra storytelling opportunities for players. Ooh, I love that idea. 🤩
this mascara rly makes kayla's eyes pop, i love it
I couldn't put my finger on what was making her cute little face extra cute! Maybe that's it.
yeah no whatever that mascara is doing it’s literally perfect
right!! she looks gorgeous
i'm pretty sure they are cowplants!
I agree! I need to know what she used so I can pick up a tube myself haha
As a Addams Family fan, this pack has so many references to their lore, and to the Wednesday tv show, that I find it hilarious. It’s not a surprise you felt the Goth family would fit into this pack, they are a parody of the Addams Family, and this pack is all about what the Addams Family loves: We have a macabre theme, a haunted house in ruins that looks very rich, a career that involves writing horror books…. Wednesday Addams made this pack and I’m here for it.
Ok, but like, what kills me with this pack is that the Reaper career is a better detective job than the police career XDDD
Why is this so true 😭
I think many of the content creators are not liking that the windows are worn. But I think it’s because Romania is an old country. Some of the buildings there have stood for centuries I think, so maybe that’s why the windows are not fully new looking in any swatch. They wanted to retain the Old World style even when something looks to have been refurbished maybe. It does lend itself to the "haunted" theme of the pack. I haven’t quite finished the video so maybe Simsie brought that up but if not, there ya go 😊
Lady Ravendancer Goth sounds like a sim created by Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way 😂
Obsidian Blackbird McNight from The Mighty Boosh (or Obsidian Raven McBovril as he is mistakenly referred to)
😂😂😂
Yessssss 🤣
Dear LORD tha tur
Stop not that fic 😭
Something that i think is really needed from this pack ironically: make ghosts more hidden. Like whats the point of my sims mourning if all they have to do is press "summon ghost" to see their mom again, not to mention I had my ghost father call me to let me know he adopted a kid because of the neighbor story option lmao.
Make them invisible and only people in the medium or something careee able to communicate with them. Make summinging need some magic items. Also for this whole "rebirth", let me play an elderly mad scientist hunting ingredients/materials to make himself a new shell to inhabit...having limitations some times is good
no for real I made my sim have a ghost roomate and she keeps morning the roommate at the urn. Like ma'am that's your best friend you talk to her everyday
the people jogging around the graveyard is such a specific detail that's so funny
when i was little i would get so caught up in playing "realistic" saves, if ANYTHING remotely occult/unrealistic happened (alien abduction, fatal accidents etc) i would immediately cheat so that i could stick to my planned out story.
but now i find i have SO much more fun just embracing all the weird stuff that happens and then just trying to make it work somehow. i can't wait to see what this pack throws at my saves.
I can feel the “can we get rich by levitating sims and stealing their money” video
Edit: there is also a 3 death! When you go to the lake to become a ghost for a short period of time and you do it too often you die. Thats what they said on livestream
9:57 im so happy this pack has careers. Every expansion should come with a few careers in my opinion. The sims 4 is still lacking in careers even after all these years!
there is literally no one’s opinion who I trust more on this
I literally thought the same lmao 🤣
Same, she’s the only sims 4 youtuber i watch tbh
i like your username
@@JavaScrapperI watch other builders, I just don't trust them for gameplay reviews
I trust Plumbella and Steph0Sims more tbh. Kayla has been questionable about some packs in the past. Like trying to find good things in Wedding Stories - which actively no one should have bought, as it was disgustingly broken. Same with the school packs that were and still are very icky or her whole demeanour when it comes to Kits, that are just Microtransations. As the biggest creator for the game, she should be more vocal, especially as she on many occasions had contact with the Sims team, that should give her more power.
I mean she literally pushed for changes through her shell challenge campaign, which ultimately led to specific changes and even her getting acknowledged by being the default name for the Cowplants.
Looking at the CAS, I'm just so happy that there' at least one skirt/dress that fits masculine frame sims. Fingers crossed all of the clothes work on both frames also.
Also as a CAS player, I'm so excited for this pack in general, the clothes are GORGEOUS.
Heck yeah! When I'm dressing my masculine-framed Sims in a dress and it changes the shape of their shoulders and chest, it's so disappointing. Like, does every dress come with built-in shapewear? Shapewear that compresses the skeleton?!
As someone who literally lives on a cemetery, where their husband is the superintendent of a historical cemetery in Connecticut, This. Was. Made. For. Me.
aaaayyeeee ct gang!!
Is your house haunted? 😂
@@chantelmills6915 This whole state is, so that's just a given
Wow, this sounds awesome!
I mean me personally, I would be terrified and could never. I do find these things fascinating from afar though haha
wait, you are actually the coolest person I’ve ever met on the internet!
so idk if i’m being dramatic but Waylon the ghost might be a nod to Waylon in Skyrim, he’s a soul in the soul cairn and he’s a wandering merchant! just kinda neat if that is actually an easter egg to that lol
I feel like they’re focusing a lot more on expanding general gameplay recently. We got packs that overhauled family dynamics and life milestones, romance, now literally death. I wonder where the change in focus came from.
I think it might be related to sims 5 essentially being canceled for the forseeble future no? now they want to fix aspects of sims 4 that are lacking is my guess
Maybe they’re finally listening to their fans… hopefully
I like to think they made a bet 😅, if sims 5 becomes a success, sims 4 enthusiasts can’t talk shit in the office.
Buttt if Sims 5 is a full flop (and it is) they go all in on sims 4, probably adding the things they were gonna have in sims 5 and transferred it in sims 4 ngl. I mean, all that hard work should at least be used right?
Nah it’s because of a game called inzoi it’s like the sims but more real and better in every way and sims was gonna lose all it’s players to that game unless they did something and every since that game became a competition that could make them lose money players and everything else they wouldn’t stop fixing on sims 4 to make it better and keep players
@ healthy competition is good but inzoi was never going to steal all sims players… if you think so then I don’t think you realize how big the sims community really is
I’m so excited they added more ✨adult content✨ to the sims in this pack. Previous Sims games seemed way more adult/raunchy (vibrating heart bed, the stripper cage, etc.) 😂 Sims 4 has seemed way more “family friendly” and watered down, which I have actually hated, majority of sims players are adults!
Also, the baby crow costume is the only thing I needed to buy the pack it’s too stinkin cute
I know, right? Isn't it so horrible that TS4 without mods isn't Wicked Whims? Especially since they released a whole WooHoo EP earlier this year that brought back a whole bunch of the cartoony-steamy vibes from earlier Sims games. But it's not as if the lazy devs even bothered to include the old-school vibrating heart bed (actually the vibrating heart bed was in that pack). But yeah, most Sims players are adults but not all of them, therefore the devs should cater to exactly what I want and make it so that I don't have to download a mod in order to get Wicked Whims content. 🙄
That was sarcasm, BTW. And I'm not saying I don't have any issues with Lovestruck whatsoever, but it seems a bit silly to me to be complaining about the lack of old-school raunchy Sims content after that EP, because for all its issues, it did deliver on the old-school raunchy Sims vibes.
@@blazebardgames5939 You seem fun.
i love how customisable the funerals are. i have a friend from romania and over there they do often hire mourners to weep at funerals! although my friend has always said she found it quite uncomfortable, it's great to have all these options
Its one small thing that is lovely, but I still kinda wish they focused on more rites and options (especially if they added Green Funerals, which would have been good thing to advertise or like maybe river funerals for cultural factor), instead of adding that gross woo-hoo literally on people's graves inside the crypt. Like that's totally Wicked-Whims/Extreme Violence mods type of thing and actually really grosses me out to think that this is now in the game and can actively happen spontaneously. Likely won't be putting any crypts around, even if I was kinda hyped to explore the rabbit hole in it and to have a bigger grave storage in the game.
@@mjm3091 You could add a fence around the crypt to stop sims from autonomously going there.
@@mjm3091 This was a thing in the sims 3 too. Not a new feature.
The Sims team went live on Thursday and the art director Mike mentioned that the town and stuff is inspired by Romania 😀
@@HouseGecko that's actually good idea.
Gotta say, small detail:
58:30 the last swatch of the single landscape painting is one of those fun hidden picture paintings with a hidden skull within the branches!! I ADORE stuff like that and it’s PERFECT for this pack!!
I had zero interest in this pack initially but I'm really coming around to it.
I really like that it's an original idea instead of just remaking previous Sims packs in TS4. It feels tongue in cheek, it incorporates lore and the aesthetic is pretty fun even though it kinda overlaps with some other packs a little imo. I feel like they really went for something and that excites me.
I'm really excited to see how this works in gameplay with other packs installed over a longer period of time.
Death is a pivotal part of the Romanticism after all, hence the beautiful vintage playground items and the fancy eyeglasses. Looks like I have to renovate Bella's kitchen again. Which reminds me, what we really need is a guide on which furniture of which pack are which décor style. I've never played an interior designer, but the preferences haunt me every time in CAS.
Moonlight naturism parties is the real selling point of this pack.
Nyon not having the grim birthmark is actually devastating :/
i'm sooo cheating the grimborn trait on him first thing when i get the pack
in the gameplay from the official livestream he has it so he’s definitely intended to have the grimborn trait.. sounds like a bug :/ bummer
@@willnaib ok im SO glad you mentioned this cuz as silly as it sounds i was so anxious to have my sims befriend Nyon and get to the know the son of death, but when kayla said he didnt have the trait, birthmark, or the relationship with grim, it genuinely made me really disappointed. but then i saw your comment and it made me go back to the livestream myself and you are totally right! in the livestream he DOES have the birthmark which means they DID intend for it to be his actual story and not just a piece of lore in his bio. if thats the case them im hoping it was just a bug in kaylas version of the game, and that he will have the trait and have grim listed as his dad in the full release! nervous subject is too iconic to be done dirty like that lol.
@@Bridenbrad it’s not silly at all! in fact i only remembered it myself because nervous subject is my favorite sim in the entire franchise so every second from the livestream where nyon was on screen was burned into my memory XD hopefully it’s not bugged on release… it would be a quick fix on pc (just use mc command center to set the grim reaper as his father and use a cheat to equip the grimborn trait) but i think people on console would have a harder time fixing it.
I would like a "chance of pregnancy from woohoo" setting that's just added to the game without mods, sometimes I like my game to kinda choose it's own story and it takes that away when I have to actively decide all the time if I want to add a new family member 😂
That would ruin woohoo for a lot of us. I wouldn't be ok with that unless it was a feature that could be toggled off in the settings.
LMAOOO I have all the packs except batuu and you’re so right about the simology panel being as long as a cvs receipts😂😭
It would work much better if the simology panel had tabs like the club features from get together/werewolf/university.
Not an endless scroll, because honestly some times I don't care about their reputation, or if they want me to vote, I'm just always scrolling.
@@piercedsiren i gave up on that as i have all and it pisses me off so much
I am very happy they used Romania as inspiration ♥️. A very good choice, We find inspiration from Bran Castle or Dracula's Castle and Decebal's face carved in stone, a beautiful part of Romanian history. And the traditional houses are very realistic. I love that. ❤
Kayla… you look gorgeous in black!!! Very appropriate color for this pack.
Thank you for all you do for this community! ❤
All the sim youtubers I watch seem to have gone "Yes! Finally an excuse to relive my goth days!"
I wonder what the world would look like with seasons, imagine being in the creapy neighbourhood with a thunderstorm...also the world will look so pretty in the snow
Oh WOW an hour!!! That’s how you know this pack iS BIG
Also I LOVE your cowplant earrings!!😍
I was looking for this comment. I was like cool pack info… OMG are those cowplant earrings lol. They’re so cute!

never clicked a video so fast. i’m so excited!!💜

They put the price up recently from 50is to 70ish for expansion packs where i live... its so much. I have all the expansion packs from before then, but now... it's just so much
Oof. Not good I was almost thinking of getting this one. But if I can't get it for 25 when it's 50% off
I had my sims couple autonomously woohoo yesterday at home, i think it may just be in the most recent base game update. i was freaked tf out cause i was dealing with two infants already and i was like "no, you cant handle a third!"
especially if u have risky woohoo mods lol
@@ArynRawr omg! Same here! My sims I oeft them unchedked for a while anf they already had like 4 kids and one in the way 😭 I moved one out since she was an adult and the other one was born. And then they decide to get another kid!!!!!
Do they autonomously woohoo now? Oh no 😂 I have risky woohoo on. I'm gonna play and suddenly my sims who already has triplets and financially struggling is going to have another sims 😅😅
@@mattwilkes1144 my risky woohoo is 50% bc i thought it would be funny i also allowed sims to have a max of six kids at one time... oops.
I think it's a bug and I hope they fix it soon. I'm a very loyal person and I also like to write stories with my Sims so I really hated that my very loyal and married sim just started flirting with everyone and now has 15 love interest.
now THIS is an expansion pack! im so thrilled to play with this and i hope EA continues to keep up this mentality of actually putting a generous amount of content into the *expansion* packs
As someone who works in planned giving (nonprofit fundraising through estate plans/gifts in wills) I'm really excited to tell my coworkers about this pack. Having a will is so important (regardless of wealth) and I'm glad the Sims is introducing this feature.
It totally makes sense for ghosts to not have phones, but I wish you could buy a Ouija or "talking board" to communicate with them
meanwhile i'm just hoping there's crosspack compatibility with paranormal
22:31 “Ok, that’s enough of the sad stuff. Let’s talk about the fun stuff- LIKE DEATH!” Note: This may or may not be slightly paraphrased 😂
it would have been so cool if relationships in past lives affected the sims in their new lives. like for example, past lovers that get attracted to each other without knowing why, past parents that have a sort of mentor pulsion towards their past children, past ennemies that can’t get along in their new lives, etc. it would bring so much more depth to gameplay, I’m really looking forward moders bringing fun content to the new pack!
I can't wait till Halloween this year. As a 52 yr old gamer Halloween has been boring. This pack is right up my alley. I love anything macabre. Happy Halloween!!!🎃💀👻☠️
As an argentinian (we don't celebrate Halloween) this will be the perfect way to celebrate, watch Kayla's stream and play with the new pack xd
Halloween has gotten so commercialized in recent years. It more about what kind of costume you have and drinking parties for adults. Even the kids get upset if they don't have the right costume. Halloween at its roots was a celebration of the dead. What's cool about the Mexican tradition of Dia de los muertos is they continue the celebration of their ancestors I love that. I wish more people of the world did something similar.
Does Argentina have anything along those lines that is for this time of year? All due respect I'm just curious?
I love that she explains the good and bad things about the pack and also funny stuff that she recommend doing in the game 😊 I learn so much when I watch her videos! Her explaining every little thing is so good, even better than the sims 4 (their UA-cam) livestreams. ❤
Thank you for taking the time and explaining everything! 😃
Yesterday during the livestream I was so confused why the devs decided to put the ghost powers menu in simology (iirc) rather than needs like all the other occults and your comment about hybrids made it make sense. Since the power menus for ghosts and vampires/werewolves/spellcasters are in two different locations it probably allows both systems to exist without conflict (i.e. no UI overlap).
Which is so annoying - because this was perfect opportunity to finally fix the hybrids and give us split scroll menu.
Kayla, I know what you mean about the style of the buy mode items in the pack. It makes it so there isn't a complete set of anything. The two couches don't match, the loveseat and lounge chair don't even seem to match. It makes for a very disjointed catalog of items, and one is left feeling like there isn't "enough" items. This is where Horse Ranch shined. They stuck to one theme in the buy catalog. One could create a complete build using everything from that one pack, and it all coordinated. I kind of wish they had chosen just one style and stuck to it? Or figured out a way to give us a few pieces that would have blended them? Perhaps if they had also given us counter swatches that were grungy? 🤷♀
I feel like this is soooo easy to design furniture for, and the obvious choice is probably gothic antique or traditional furniture with gloomy swatches . It’s so disappointing to see them fumble something so simple when the rest of this pack seems pretty solid.
I LOVE the difficulty variation in the Bucket List. Simple or hard goals, just like life. Sometimes your goal is to have a child. Sometimes, you just want to poison a sim(I hope this is an option), it feels like it adds to your sims individual personality.
Yes! My bucket list includes multilingualism, reading Les Misérables in a single day, and eating an onion like an apple. Not every bucket list item has to be life-changing 😂
@@dellarosa24601one day at the market i decided to try eating a tomato like an apple, it was pretty good actually
Ooh I wanna have a witchy potion shop up in that spooky area! Have a little place that sells ingredients, crystals, and ready made potions. Ahh sounds so fun!
My sims have autonomously woohoo’d since lovestruck - they get really flirty after so many actions and will do it on their own
my sims relationships just decay ultra fast since love struck and it bothers me
I think sims have also autonomously woohood since Get Together. I think I've seen sims in that closet it comes with and everyone gathers around
@@hashrodite yeah you have to constantly work at it - they need to make it a little slower decay.
that might explain that random high romance bar my werewolf and vampire got after being rlly low in the red bc they prehate each other (i made a household w every occult as roomates)
The "goals" remind me SO much of the Sims 2 life aspirations and it's the number one thing I miss from that game. So excited!
I literally almost never let my sims die because it was always „game over“ for me but i will literally buy this pack for the ghost skilltree alone because that is literally THE improvement ive always wanted for ghosts
This pack can make a Avatar challenge type thing!! Like being reborn every generation and is a special sim
the sims missed an opportunity to call the pack “life in death”
Or "Sims 4: Dying Together"
Sims 4: Love2Die
Sims 4: get to dying
Sims 4: No longer living
The sims 4: no longer with us
@@rrammayif only that were true
@@carysdavies2603I LOVE No Longer Living. 😂
I can see Necrocall from realm of magic and the medium skill set from paranormal being popular.
The fact that the death dummy is named Kenny kills me "OMG they killed Kenny, you B***tards" nice nod to South Park lol
I'm so glad someone else caught that
Kayla, you look great in black. You should wear it more. Also, love the earrings. 😊👍
I’m so excited to build with the new L&D build/buy! The doors and windows looked so nice!
i can already see the stanley humphrey ghost levitation rags to riches
Oh absolutely!
i rubbed my hands at the thought and had a villanious laughter, idk why
I really like the heirloom feature. I've been playing the same family since Sims 1 - of course, each new game is a different generation and I'm currently on Gen 5 in Sims 4. I pass down certain items (crafted furniture, family photos, cross stitch) and after a couple of generations, the game no longer says "made by" a specific sim. This will be a game changer for me. I also like the funerals and cemetery lot type. I have 'funerals' and a 'cemetery' but not official.
I KNEW I SAW NERVOUS SUBJECT IN THE GAMEPLAY TRAILER!! I’m so happy they brought the Specters back
@@pandorus165 she said you might recognize the specter family and i was like OLIVE??? IS THAT YOU
Imagine being reborn as Olive’s niece like in sims 2?? Ophelia, right? I can’t remember because I was too young for sims back then so I learned the lore from Plumbella lol
wow, there are so many items in this pack. I pre-purchased and am counting down the days to download. The game play sounds so good. I am so glad your review was good. I am so excited.
kenny being the name of the death dummy is so good lol
I used to hate my sims dying especially bc I was a kid and got attached really easily but now I love when they die and the new chapter that brings. I also have a save file a play with a vampire and it’s on short life span so they’re constantly making friends and family members and then forced to watch everyone they know and love die it’s really chaotic and I love it I can’t wait to see how this expansion pack changes this save file
I didn't realize this til recently, but you can drag the top of the simology tab upwards to increase its size. Sure, it's still got a lot of information, but now you've got twice as much space to view it in
Lilsimsie: it does not apply to you, because you watch sims UA-cam, so you’re already in deep
Me feeling super exposed
Why does the bowtie-wearing spectre around 31:00 named Freddy feel like a FNAF reference😭😭 especially since the spectres are floating around the playground😭
@@captainpanda_ this is exactly what I was thinking 😭😭
in terms of seeing that nyon doesn’t have the grim born to start with is such a perfect example of the lack of set up that goes into the townies. and that’s not me taking a shot at the dev team because i’m sure there is alot going on behind the scenes. i wish companies really have devs time and money to treat games like the precious things they are
I love how simsie listed the builders that helped with this pack and linked their account in her description!
So much appreciation for her going through all the swatches, cas & build items at the end
I'm so glad they included Olive's past lovers graves, I was kinda worried they wouldn't
I want the grave swap mechanic for baby bassinets. Sometimes my werewolf gets put in the standard bassinet when I wanted it in the werewolf one. Being able to switch would be a great help!
You can switch right now, but it takes a couple minutes and several loading screens. It's usually not worth it for me but everyone plays differently so...
To do this, you need to move your sims out of their house, preferably on an empty lot or just evict them. I would recommend just using "freerealestate" for the whole process, so their money isn't affected. Then go into build mode in the house they usually live in and change out the bassinet for whichever one you want. Make sure that there are not more bassinets than you have babies, otherwise the game might decide on the wrong one. After that, just go back to manage worlds and move the family back into their home. The baby should be placed into the new bassinet.
Personally, I would save the house before moving the family out, though. Just in case something goes wrong, mainly furniture going missing or whatever.
It would be great if we could just easily change it in livemode though.
Complicated solution but I did this when I wanted to use the new storybook Kit bassinet after my newborn was already born, if you move your sims out, go into build and delete the og bassinet and put in the one you want, and then move your sims back in the baby will be in the new bassinet
The involunetary "NOOoOoOO" that left my mouth when you said that the funerals work like weddings in wedding stories
Like literally, why did they choose to do this again after the community was so disappointed about the micro managing in wedding stories?
Rebirth sounds like "Would you like to start over with a new character in the same world?". If nothing carrys over from the ghost, no traits, goals or skills, then what differentiates a rebirth from just creating a new character to play?
I’m so happy that ghosts are finally a fleshed-out (reverse pun unintended) occult! I’ve never had any incentive to play with ghosts, but now I wanna play as one!
Usually I am ready to absolutely FLAME EA over a new pack, but this looks really, really, promising! I’m excited for a new pack for the first time in a long time!!
The soul's journey thing is so intriguing to me and will probably be THE reason i end up getting this pack
That and bucket lists were the turning point for me. Definitely excited for those.
as a game developer the shader on the cracked wall/floor items is so COOL. i love whenever game developers do cool parallax stuff and i feel like a lot of sims stuff doesnt do funky shaders so that makes me really really happy
14:21 "Oh my God! They killed Kenny!"
😂😂
I'm definitely playing a rebirth legacy where its the same sim reborn for 10 lifetimes and each one they're going to live in a new world and have a new experience. I love all of the dark aesthetic and macabre features but I'm looking forward to rebirth the most.
I wish there was a cc hot dog conversion for every age so we could get a reborn Stanley legacy
I’ve been waiting on this !!!! Thanks Kayla
It was so nice of the sims team to make this pack for u
i love the cowplant earrings!! need those
Had such a rough week and I was so excited when I got off work and saw you got early access to the new pack. So excited for the new pack and having this content to watch until it comes out on Halloween makes the countdown until it comes out so much more enjoyable!
me, screaming: LOOK AT THE TODDLER BED!! LOOK AT THE NEW KIDS STUFFY!! LOOK AT THE-
I can't stop looking at your cowplant berry earrings, they are so cute!
The ghost stuff not being in the needs tab gives me more hope for hybrid ghost-other occult sims
You are the only review channel that I trust. You actually talk about pack features and show off how the pack behaves.
