Why I Hate The Sims 4

- This is why I hate The Sims 4 in its current state and my future outlook on The Sims franchise (as well as an update on this channel in its state as a Sims channel.)
Disclaimer: I have loved The Sims my ENTIRE LIFE! I will probably never stop playing the game (including The Sims 4) but idk how much longer I can let this game dominate my channel before it just becomes stale.
To reiterate what I said in my video, I never really intended to be a sims youtuber; I always wanted to just be a youtuber in general. There is so much stuff I want to do but I feel I can't because of the direction this channel has taken.
Thank you to everyone who watches and supports my videos! I will continue to make sims videos for you guys (inc. videos with the iconic Shanice Shanice) so dw ;)

You're totally right. I feel playing the Sims 4 is like playing with a doll house, the interesting things are happening in my imagination, not in the game. This didn't happen in ts1, 2 or 3... There was an element of randomness, not everything was under your control, and that's what made those games so enjoyable. With the Sims 4, I feel like playing in a Sandbox, where everything is super happy and under control and... God, I don't like it. I mean, we want crazy things to happen! We want to lose control on certain things, we want challenge!
Thats is one of my complaints with sims no surprises in the game just build a house and play and nothing happens really. When i play sims 1 drew from the price is right came to my party. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP EA PLEASE
This was a great way of looking at it.
So true
I still miss the horrid fear I felt when burglars or ghosts would pop up in Sims1 😂
@@meep_murp8758 everything could happen! It was so cool
I honestly don't get the "Sims are Smarter" thing. My sims are smarter in the sims 3 lmao I can stack tasks and they never forget them, they just do it. In fact. That goes for pretty much everything they do. They just do it lmao They don't spend ages route failing or doing a thousand other things that makes me have to micromanage every step they take, and makes them dumb as a sack of bricks. They even send themselves to bed the minute their energy bar hits yellow instead of when it hits red. They're dumb as shit lmao They'd die if I didn't hover over them every second.
Agreed. The Sims 3 are the smartest out of all the games. I went back to it recently to check and it was so refreshing how well Sims 3 sims did what I said. I do enjoy the Sims 4, but my sims literally chat until they piss themselves if I'm not watching them.
Thank you, for real I don't get why people say the Sims 4 are smarter, they are the complete opposite. I've been playing the Sims 2 extensively these days, and I can totally leave them by themselves and concentrate on other members of the household, and they won't die, and in addition they do things that actually make sense according to their personality and mood.
@@oceanegougeon3025 You could actually leave Sims 3 unpaused and come back after awhile and they'll still be taking care of themselves with minimal tragedy. Leave Sims 4 unpaused and guarantee someone would be on the verge of dying and everyone will have lost their jobs lmao Sims 4 is a fun game, especially for building, but if you really want a good time with minimal stress or frustration Sims 3 is still top notch lol
@@oceanegougeon3025 Yes!!! I really miss being able to just let Sims take care of themselves. It makes things way easier and more fun lol
@@lj2265 yeah I like Sims 3 too, but Sims 2 is my personal top notch haha
I always felt like the team who made Sims 4 never played any of the other sims games. Like how could they miss the mark so bad
I just want to say for all of those that don't actually PLAY the game (ppl who just build or just use cas) THIS VIDEO IS NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU! HE IS TOTALLY CORRECT if you ever play the older games first and then play TS4. Look at build buy in TS2 and see how limited it is compared to TS4 and yet TS2 didn't need the bloat that TS4 is. TS4 has little to NO new additions with each new thing it adds. TS4 just adds more and more of the same stuff over and over again and no new gameplay. If I see one more chair or bar I think my brain will explode.
True. Theoretically, Sims 4 has a lot of content (in the form of items). The problem is that most of it is just more of the same. So you quickly lose the overview.
Hahahaha same here i swear it became build game i think not even stimulation game
or child activity table 😑
The thing I miss the most is the randomness or really anything negative happening. You have to micromanage and really go out of your way to make interesting things happen. Otherwise it’s just all smiles and rainbows. I hate that some of the fan base thinks by people hating TS4, you hate The Sims.. but no, we see the series has SHARPLY declined with TS4, and want EAxis to do better with the series, cause the series used to be great.
I really enjoy the way Callmekevin approaches the Sims 4. He gets out of the game what he wants (telling some weird stories) and then puts it aside to do other stuff. He doesn't seem fatigued by the game and is actually the most positive about the game imo.
I've gone back to TS2 but it's hard to get it to run on windows 10 and you have to be dedicated to watch a lot of youtube videos to fix the bugs. But I am having so much more fun and there's so much more to see that's unexpected in TS2. I also get to download custom worlds which is awesome!
I just installed the sims 2 again and I’m having a blast!
Can you get sims 2 on MacBooks? If so how?
@@fishythom5910 How'd you install it? I don't have my original cd anymore and I'm really missing ts2
@@wanderingegg_ yeah same 😥
Hard to get it run xD just download shadow fix lmao
Sims 4 looks great in my opinion but the game has had something hollow from the start. I felt like I get bored with it way quicker than with the other games. I wish it's gameplay was more like Sims 3. Also they need to stop focussing on a family-friendly game. Stop making everything suitable for kids.
OMG I soooooo agree on everything in this video!!!
I have only recently found your channel. I do not think you are being negative at all! Sims 4 is a mess, I think you are very right about the character being drained out of it and I think the base game does not work well because it was supposed to be multiplayer. I am being foolishly hopeful for Sims 5!!!
I miss the robbers and that feature in TS3 generations that the parents would win a 3 day trip and leave the teens alone to party!
i started playing the sims 4 about a year after it came out when i was 11. i remember BEGGING my mom for it but it was more expensive than anything sims related i ever wanted. eventually i got it, i played it for LITERALLY 20 minutes, and went back to playing the sims 3.
i stopped playing sims 4 around 2018, and picked it back up in quarentine. i got a few more packs i missed out on from not playing and i honestly had some fun. after about a week or trying to force my gameplay to be more challenging, i just got tired of trying. i haven’t gone back to gameplay since, and now i just build
6:00 A few days ago when playing TS3 my sim went into a graveyard mausoleum and got attacked by a bear. She game home all dirty and immediately took off her clothes as soon as she walked in the door and threw them on the floor despite being a neat sim. I COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING. 10 years of playing this game and it still gives me little surprises, and that's why it's so legendary. TS4 never got my attention like that!
I've heard people say that TS4 is like a happiness simulator where nothing bad happens and I kind of have to agree. Especially with the My Wedding Stories game pack, putting aside all the bugs and glitches, there's no drama, it's always happily ever after. They accidentally gave us disastrous weddings by delivering a broken product. But if they hadn't and everything worked like a dream, all the weddings would've had happy endings. While yes, sometimes I want that happy ever after, fairytale ending, sometimes I want the person my sim was seeing on the side to burst in during the wedding and expose her ass! Gasps all around, drinks thrown in faces, indignant huffs and furious storming offs! I want bachelor(ette) parties with strippers, I want the iconic dance cage. The Sims is just so safe nowadays that it's boring without mods. I can enjoy playing it for hours and have my sim become a feared drug lord, but console players can't. The Sims are afraid to take risks and release something that might offend people. Well, guess what? People are always going to be offended, no matter what you do. There are billions of people on this planet, with different cultures and cultural norms and you just have to accept that you're going to offend someone. You can't live your life walking on eggshells, waiting for someone to pipe in with "I'M OFFENDED!" because you're not living for yourself if you do that. You're never gonna have fun if all you do is think of all the different ways you could be offending someone. People need to relax and get off twitter, or just literally just use it for memes, and when someone comes at you with "I'M OFFENDED!", just say "cool, good for you".
Yep, you gotta put in certain fun script mods to bring chaos to your world...and that's kind of sad.
In the sims 4, its like you create a household, you build your house, and then afterwards you just feel like leaving because there's literally nothing else to do.
To me, it feels like you can’t play without a script. There is little to no chance for randomness or in game drama without mods. I can see that they’re trying to help this problem with neighborhood stories but it’s been too long after the release of the game so what’s done is done. The most I do anymore with the game is use it to make characters for drawing or to take screenshots for paintings.
This is such a big problem for me, I constantly go back to the game spend all my time making my family in cas then get bored when I actually wanna play. I wanna like this game so bad but I just can’t.
Also I would love to see you play other games and make different content you’re so funny I would enjoy it either way 🤩
I've gone back to the sims 3 like nothing against the other games but that was the first game I got to play it holds the most nostalgic I feel for each game. And I still hold it up better than sims 4 forever
Definitely not a "you" problem. I love the Sims. Like you i played the game since the Sims 2 and ive played it for years and still play it now. The sims 3 was the same and i can still play that today too - I loved it!! But... the Sims 4 i just cant get into. I just am not drawn to it all.
The aspirations are so bland, the neighbourhoods are bare and you cant expand them or make your own worlds. If you have a look at the pre-made sims, most of them have the same fortune aspiration (which is probably the most boring one in the game... just buy a couple of pillars and you've done everything). Theres also just no challenge as you said. It takes a LOT of effort on your part to kill someone off or get abducted or anything. It really is the worst in the series so far 😞
I do feel that pain I have when having a constant want to start the sims 4 and trying again only to get bored after 15 minutes and stop again. What breaks the game mostly for me is that the sims forget friendships and even family, and I constantly bump into horrendous townies with purple skin, cheese blonde afro hair and named 'Fukuda' which according to the gallery is a dirty name (I guess they are not that progressive towards japanese names. Also I TRIED so hard to remove all fukuda's or atleast alter them in cas only to find another one). The roomies my sims got are no more his roomies and just vanished and all sentiments are gone. And then Fuckuda kicks over the bin and I am like 'fukuda it, I'm out'.
I have a special love for both The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 but The Sims 4 is a disaster that made me realize how big and ambitious The Sims 3 was even with all of its flaws. The Sims 3 is massive and embodies a lot of what I loved from past games and a sense of extreme freedom in terms of gameplay and customization. Ahead of it's time! And the biggest reason TS4 sucks so much is because how small and poor it feels compared to it's predecessor
If you ever decide on going down the merch route you absolutely need "allegedly, in my opinion" gear! ...I feel I may have commented this on another of your vids, if so, my bad, sorry.
Your take is exactly what I feel about this game. It's great for 10ish hours but then you're falling asleep playing it. If it wasn't for challenges and house building (I love the building) there would literally be nothing to play for.
"yes Sims are smarter."
Sim : moaning about trying to get out of trapped room, while at the same time being able to pull their phone out and talk on it, yet somehow not call for help... then dies.. 🤨
Also a Sim: can't get out a room because there is a plate in front of the door. Which was placed there BY said sim.
98% of what I do in TS4 is building. I love to build. But you're right... the gameplay itself is boring.
Sims 4 is Real life... Real life for children. No thankyou. I loved all its predecessors .
I've never played the older games and even I can say sometimes TS4 can get a little stale if I don't find new ways to play it. And every new addition added can be done within a few hours. I AM excited to see more variety content from u cause I also love playing some Animal Crossing and Planet Zoo :)))
please don't tell me I'm the only one who once my sims have children I just get so bored and unmotivated to play...
The sims 4 sims aren’t smart tho….the autonomy is broken and the emotions don’t have any depth
Join in the community of retro Simming. =) I'm pretty much have my channel for previous Sims games (Sims 1 to Sims 3), it's refreshing to see old games have a revival in recently with the interest of the Sims 4 is on a decline. Of course branching out to other simulation games is a great way to avoid feeling stale and bored.
I started with TS4 but I also bought most of the packs for TS3 when it was on sale & while the graphics get me a bit and I find it too difficult to build at all in that game, the characters have more personality despite not having the emotions of TS4. I've also watched people play TS1 & TS2 & I certainly wish TS4 had some of the elements of those older games. I don't think you're a downer, it's obvious you love the game and just want it to be as great as it could be - you see the potential & realize it's not achieving it. And, I share the sentiment of another commentator that you should seriously consider merch reading "allegedly, in my opinion..." - love it!
If you ever feel like playing TS3 I'd recommend looking up ways to get it run smoother and look better. It doesn't take long and it isn't overly complicated. Also some cc skins go a lonnng way. Can't do anything about build mode though lol.
Hey 👋🏻 born with sims 3 and I get you cause sims 4 build is more easier
I’ve finally gotten use to it after 8 years of not playing it 😝😂😋
I completely agree with you on a lot of these points, but especially the storytelling point. The idea that The Sims 4 developers wanted players to "make their own stories" so they decided to just not write any of their own is so fucking absurd to me, because one could argue that using the sims to tell stories started in The Sims 1 and definitely took off in The Sims 2 and 3 precisely _because_ the developers put thought into the often wild and chaotic stories of their own premade characters, leading to players getting inspired to do it themselves. Not to mention how wild and chaotic the first three games in the series were in general (especially Sims 2).
I'm going to ramble a bit about telling stories in the sims and how the games compare with each other. I'll be speaking mostly about the Sims 2 and 3 from this point onwards as, compared to the Sims 1, they're the games I have the most experience with. So when it comes to the storytelling aspects of the games, in my experience, it was easier to improvise a story in my head entirely based off of the events that occur in normal gameplay, whereas in the Sims 4, I have to force something to happen in order to have _anything interesting_ happen at all. When it comes to character, it was easy to judge my sims' character and get a feel for who they were as people in 2 and 3 just by observing their autonomous behavior, and it gave me something to go off of when it came to coming up with my own ideas about them. In the Sims 4, autonomy didn't seem to factor into things too much, I often had to direct them to do things to 'move the story along,' and I needed mods to make their emotions and personality traits mean anything at all. A lot of the characterization of my Sims 4 sims came from mods that affect how emotions and personality traits work and/or my own brain, and very little of it from the (otherwise unmodified) game itself.
In the Sims 2 and 3, the Sims had wants and wishes - the wants were the best iteration of this concept, in my opinion, but the wishes were good too. It was easy to stay motivated to play the game by playing according to what the sims wanted, or if I was feeling sadistic in the Sims 2, what they feared. Wants and wishes were also frequently influenced by a Sim's personality and the world around them. In the Sims 4, whims really don't mean anything - and as far as I know, they're actually _broken_ to the point where they're now disabled by default.
In the Sims 2 and 3, while some mods are pretty much required to fix bugs or enhance certain gameplay elements, the two games feel like they can stand on their own two feet without needing mods to drastically improve the experience. The same cannot be said of the Sims 4. In my honest opinion, the game as it is right now pretty much requires modding to make it worth playing, let alone playable _at all._
I’m a person that very much likes world building and creating my own stories and so I prefer the sims 4 for that reason. The lack of an open world actually makes it significantly easier for me to manage families and I get to construct the lore and legacy as I want. The sims 3 had a lot tighter restrictions for me and I just didn’t have as much fun trying to manage the entire town and worry about whether or not everyone was interacting in accordance with their lore. I had to download so many mods to get the sims 3 to run the way I wanted it to, while all I have on sims 4 is MCCC. I agree that if you rely on gameplay mechanics for world and story building, the sims 4 isn’t even worth playing tbh. Sims 2 is probably the best for that and then the sims 3 is very good too. I just like to construct everything from scratch and so to me, those games offered too many limitations to really be enjoyable.
I also love playing the latest iteration of Tomb Raider (the Survivor Trilogy). And your comments about leveling up XP to defeat the final boss are totally accurate. I also have played all 3 games over and over again trying different levels (easy, medium, hard) or trying different combinations of XP or routes to defeat the baddies.
It occurred to me that maybe if they implemented a challenge level system for TS4 (like play the game on easy, medium, or hard) it might be interesting. What if medium or hard levels of TS4 allowed for more sudden or unique deaths, or more cooking fires, or more craziness like strippers or fights breaking out, it takes longer to level up or to achieve an aspiration, etc. Then you could keep the vanilla game as it is, but players wanting more excitement could just increase the challenge level of the game?
I have played Sims since the first game. I have so many great memories playing it and it is that nostalgia why I keep playing it. I don't think I would have ever played Sims 4 if I hadn't played Sims, Sims 2 and 3. The game is my favourite game because I know what it can be and it is disappointing that Sims 4 is not what the previous games were. Luckily there is mods and CC that makes the game playable. However, the game shouldn't need CC and mods to be great. Especially when Sims is €1000 game. The game is not only lacking gameplay but it is filled with bugs and clitches. With that price, the game should be flawless. I don't think the game is worth more than €10 to be honest.
Like you said, I played TS4 for like 14 hours a day during my quarantine, but it lasted for 2 days (I hoped for at least 10). I gave up.
Later I installed TS2 ultimate collection, and this shit is like heroin. I felt like I’m 7 years old again, the energy, the music, THE LORE. And I can control my hood by rotational gameplay.
I got default replacements, clean templates, a little bit of ACR and now I can play for DAYS, this game never bored me as a kid and as an adult.
TS3 is heavy for every PC I had, I don’t like it that much, I have straight association with pain in the ass, but I loved playing it even with low graphics
Ts4 is good for building.... And I feel like if games such as Paralives make building better whilst also giving better gameplay it's just going to overshadow Ts4. The only thing that's gonna make us come back to Ts4 is the amount of money we spent on the packs 😂
I am so glad you mentioned Will Wright cause that's what I've been saying being a one of the downfalls. Leaving it to EA was a bad move. :(
Bro I don’t play the sims 4 I only play the sims 3 😎
@@DialtownAndDSaFLover yes I literally have zero mods and only late night it’s still fun with the sims 4 it feels different
@@DialtownAndDSaFLover it’s like we can read each others minds!
you said it best. I find myself far too often just spending hours in CAS, days even in build mode to make the best house ever with very potent tools, but when it comes to live mode, yeah, i do just spend a few minutes and then quit because i know there's nothing exciting about it. I feel like TS4 has caused damage to my experience with The Sims franchise as a whole. When i go back to older games, after 8 years with TS4, i feel like i can't have as much fun.
I also agree that TS4 has suffered from being neutered by a company scared of being cancelled. The lack of interesting "negative" stuff makes the world look so incredibly devoid of emotion. It's a utopia simulator, not a game. Besides the game lacking burglars or strippers, they removed many many things from the franchise or refused to add them, like that whole debacle about bowing at the shrine in Snowy Escape...do you remember how much chaos there was?
I have been saying this for a long time, The Sims can afford being lazy and uninspired because they have no competition. I have received a lot of hate for saying that, people accused me of hating my favourite game. I pity those who cannot see the problems, if you refuse to see them, you have blinders on-
We really just need a sims game with sims 4 graphics, sims 3 and 4 level of customization, and then a mixture of all the games for gameplay
I've been playing in my custom neighborhood in TS2 for over a year now and I'm currently on generation 3 (I play rotationally and with rules inspired by Pleasantims), while on TS4 I've never played a family for more than 10 days, and I keep deleting the game in frustration and not playing it for months.
In TS2 I've created (well, those sims had such deep personalities that they mostly did everything on their own) stories full of plot twists that made me feel all sort of emotions. And because I got so deep in those stories that I feel like I bonded with those sims (like when you bond with characters in a book you really like) and miss them when they die.
In TS4 I can't do that. Just looking at how sims stay stuck in one place, at how they "sweep" things instead of having precise animations for their actions, at how they continously have "mood swings", at their stupid smiley face while they stand and do nothing (I want them to do significant things on their own, you know?), at how their wishes are all the same, at how everyone likes everyone... God, I can't stand it. It's so BORING!
Frontier needs to bring out a life simulation game.
rockstar! they do amazing with open world games
@@Kiahhhhhhhhall this
I am so glad I found your channel. You are spitting facts but you are being nice about it actually SHOWING why you hate it.
The main gripe that I have with TS4 is that it is so uninspired. This is NO real lore. TS2 & 3 were basically built on lore, especially 2. Which allowed for all of the fun drama and stories to help develop in the gameplay. Not to mention the sims in those games had so much personality 🥲
You’re exactly right. I remember when I was so excited for The Sims 4, but now I barely touch it unless I have a very specific hyperfixation to push me to play it. By that I mean, if I become so invested with certain fictional characters, I’ll remake them in TS4 and actually have fun with them for a little while, until I get bored of it again, cause it’s the same exact gameplay no matter what, just in a different skin.
The traits do absolutely nothing in making the sims unique from one another, and this was the first sims game I HAD to mod, not just because the CC community knows how to keep this game alive, but I’ve had so many game breaking bugs and “quirks” that have never been addressed by the development team, but modders were able to fix independently, thus, actually making my game playable. No one should NEED mods to make their game work, mods should only be optional to add different enhancements to an already good game.
I’ve been around since Sims 1, and it really pains me to see this game franchise plummet and continue to plummet. I wanted to love this game, but I just can’t. I have a like/hate relationship with TS4.
I understand that people seem to love to cheat in TS4.
I've mostly only ever cheated because I was either new to the game and figuring things out... or because I'm not feeling up to solving the problem because I'll be having a hard time with the game or I'll get lazy.
There are many ways to play this game and partly thanks to simmers and partly thanks to the game itself.
I know that not everyone enjoys everything about this game, but to say that there's nothing to work towards in TS4 is ignoring, forgetting, or possibly not knowing about all the things the game has to offer.
- Aspirations
- Creating super sims by completing all the aspirations you can
- Occult and celebrity skill trees, which can add even more to the previous goal
- Raising a family
- Making money in various ways
- Trying to play without a 9-5 job
- The Reward Store _itself..._
- Working around the limitations of the Interior Designer career by entering CAS with your clients and writing down their likes and dislikes since they won't reveal them all to you... lol cheating if the game demotes you for no reason. lol 🤣
Really, I believe that Maxis has succeeded in wanting players of TS4 to make their own stories. The community has made up so many fun ways to play the game and with the tools the developers provided for them. They seemed to want TS4 to be more of a sandbox than a true life simulation with unpredictable situations, and as someone who greatly enjoys sandbox games, I repeatedly come back to TS4 to continue to create, _work on goals_ and try new things.
I've barely played TS1 years ago as a 12 year old give or take in the early 2000s and have never played TS2 nor 3, but I can tell you that what I've seen of TS1 and TS2 are not things I'd feel comfortable with, and TS3 sims freak me out a little too much to really want to play it, but it seems a little more laid back like TS4, albeit with open worlds which make the game feel more alive, but it's too bad that using a lot of packs in that game causes it to drop so many frames. Still, I may eventually get over my fear of most TS3 sims and play it. looool 😂Said the 33 year old man. 🤣😵💀
I love ur “pessimistic” videos lol
Graphics in sim 4 is grouse but the gameplay is not nearly as best as sim 3 or 2 in my opinion 🥰
I get very bored after creating a sim in sims 4 and I watch how to not get bored of sims 4 and I still find motivation to play it
Heck I’m back in sims 3 and oh boy😂I miss it sooo much ❤️
I really appreciate your voice in the community about the downfall ofnthe sims 4. Love your content, thank you for speaking up for us.
This is why I want the sims to have some competition. I remember when the sims 4 first was released and I begged my mom to get it for me for Christmas and I got it. I was so disappointed and didn’t play it for a year. We came a long way from where we started. I love the sims but I miss the randomnesses
When it dawned on me that my “gameplay” in TS4 was so boring is when I gave up on it. I was only keeping needs maxed out, kids having A’s in school, maxing career, and keeping my house clean. 😴
I would love more Sims 1 content from you, the one you made had me laughing out loud!
sims 2 and 3 were addictive. (I never played sims 1) I play sims 4 and am immediately bored
More Sims 1 & 2 content please !!!!
Totally agree. I stopped playing TS4 and went back to TS2 and I'm having so much fun, I played it to death as a teenager and there's stuff I never ever achieved or knew! The lore and randomness is massive. The moment I lost sight of my romance Sims he got slapped in the face by someone who was mad at him and I didn't even know xD
Cheesy and corporate, is that what you really think of us haha? But you've got a really strong point. Whenever I play The Sims 3, I never got bored because there were so many gaming aspects. With The Sims 4, I have so many mods just to keep the game interesting. I do like the neighborhood stories update though. It adds a bit of randomness that we need in the game.
people also say use mods to make sims 4 more fun i didnt need them in sims 1 2 or 3.
The Sims 2 community is alive and well...just saying...you should give it a go. I don't get bored with TS2...like ever...it's still fun even after all these years.
I can't play Sims 4 anymore (I play on a MacBook). After the update my mouse isn't aligned in game anymore. I have to move the mouse away from the buttons to click them.
I'm looking forward to seeing what non-Sims 4 content you put out! I love almost all the games you mentioned, so I'm sure it'll be great!
Never understood why people force themselves to play Sims 4 when they love older games far more. 10/10 would recommend playing Sims 2 or 3 instead of 4. Sims 2 is easier to run on potato pc so it's my Sims of choice. Any Sims youtubers out there, play any Sims games you want! I think most Sims 4 people would still watch a Sims 2 or 3 video
I was looking for sims 2, where can I download it?
@@Kiahhhhhhhh you need to pirate it or find second hand CDs because EA doesn't want to sell it anymore
For me it's the graphics. I love creating sims. Ts3 is so much better gameplay wise though. Sigh.
TRUST, WHEN PARALIVES DROPS IMA EAT IT UP😩
This has really validated me. Since it came out I started thinking I’m a boring non-creative person, especially seeing UA-camrs doing all this creative off the wall stuff with their gameplay. But you’re right, in the other games different chaotic stuff would just create fun scenarios or the items or scenarios themselves were quirky and silly. Thanks, man.
I played Sims 4 again at the weekend.
Every few months I give the game another chance. Created a new household, let My Sims move into a small house, and bored after an hour at most. There is simply nothing to do. I always follow the same pattern. Choose a career and grind through it. At the same time, build up the necessary skills. Why don't you actually build up your skills while you're working? That's how it actually works, isn't it? That way you spend the time you have outside of work doing busywork...
right! in sims 3 you could choose as an option to work on your skills while at work. such a basic option not implemented into sims 4.
No. Sims 4 is honestly the worst one in the franchise. If there’s a sims 5 we all want the sims 2&3 revamped. I heard somewhere that EA wasn’t planning on a sims 4, so to me I feel like they’re being lazy with sims 4 cause they weren’t gonna make it to begin with, but since so many people asked for it they rushed it and it didn’t turn out the way we were expecting, as if they were like “ok you got the sims 4 now stop asking”. But that’s just me.
I love playing Sims 4, I really do, but I completely get it! Sometimes I have the playing then not touching it for a little bit.
No wonder I stop playing the sims 4 after like 2 hours or less, my brain isn’t releasing any serotonin and dopamine!!
I love watching Satch being chaotic! 😂
P.s. What? There is another channel? Why it's secret? 😅
Alien abduction is great. It happens randomly and you can't stop it. If your Sim gets pregnant there is nothing you can do to stop it. More random things like that happening that WE don't control is needed.
Yes! And if you don't like it, there's always the option to quit without saving. Worked like a charm in the Sims 2 days.
All true what you say. In a Game like Sons of the Forest, where I just ignore the hole story, I have more fun just hanging around, than try hard to play Sims 4, even where I have 40 packs already installed!
7:42 yes, this! or sometimes they make the ads look like their new packs have that passion of the paranormal pack, but they don’t. my own example is the cottage living. they made it look like it was this outrageously incredible pack, but god damn was it disappointing.
Ive only played the sims 4, and recently downloaded the sims 2 to try it, it was literally amazing. I did have all of the packs for free so it wasn't the base game but I had so much fun, never going back to the sims 4 now
Can't even make your pets attack other sims...😢
In terms of the "watered down" crap or target younger audiences, they failed to realize the burglar's legacy
Sims 1 had it's frightening them that scares me even to this day, I still have to mute my game because it scares me THAT bad, Sims 2 and 3 have it's scary theme, but not as bad, but they're still scary to encounter
Sims 4: *removes burglar to pacify anxious players*
Also sims 4: *adds a vampire that can just enter your home*
10/10 would burgle again
I've also played since ts1 and the "create your own stories" line just never appealed to me, I thought it was just me playing it wrong lmao
Your 100% right about everything you said and I couldn’t agree more . If people don’t make videos like this one the SIMS will never change for the better . This video made me follow you and btw I DO NOT THINK YOUR PESSIMISTIC BUT YOUR LOGICAL AND RATIONAL AND I APPRECIATE THAT A TON !!!! your honest snd you don’t sugar coat everything which is nice . sometimes you don’t have to look at the bright side of something if it costs you a lot and doesn’t give you what you want .. so your awesome and have a great day !!!(:
thanks for your feedback!!!!
I could play HOURS of sims 2 and 3, but for sims 4 I play 5 minutes!!
It’s so true, I never ever did a challenge, or decorated my house nice in the sims 2 and 3, I was too busy playing the game
The only thing I'll ever use The Sims 4 for is making OCs with a lot of custom content and building. I wish you could only buy the CAS.
We criticize the game because we want the game to be so much more then it is, it has so much potential but with all the bugs, glitches, and lack of gameplay it will never be fixed.
Keep the game rated T for teen likee why are they diluting it like the way it is in sims 4
I wish I could go to work with my sim at least….they just kinda leave the house and I just sit there for a minute and then they come back…..I swear you used to be able to go to work with them in one of the games (unless that was a dream).
Currently I just make my favourite tv characters in the sims and build them a little house and then that’s it I move on.
I must admit I’ve been obsessed with The Sims 4 recently, but it took spending money to do so. The main game has nothing tbh
Exactly! Why do i have to PRETEND something in a game? I feel EA trained us to be dumb or treated us as 3 years old or unintelligent
"Making your own story in sims 4" was the excuse EA made so they didnt have to make substance gameplay, thats all.
It's so sad how even with ALL of the packs (which is extremely expensive to have) the game is still stale, when a good game would be good even WITHOUT any packs, as those are supposed to be just the cherry on top
The sims used to be my favorite game but since sims 4 I just don’t care anymore and can’t imagine going back to how I loved it before. I’ll still play sims, sims 2, and sims 3 happily.
You sum up my feelings exactly. The people complaining about your views clearly haven't played anything except the S4.
I adore the sims 2. So much character to it.
Modders are the only reason Sims 4 is still relevant and going.
Hello, I'm new to your channel but I already love it. I find Sims 4 boring purely because Sims have no individual personalities regardless of what traits you give them. They all seem the same and I wish I could tell the difference between my Sims personalities but I cannot. I wish EA would fix bugs as well as give more personality to Sims so they don't all seem the same. It makes it hard to create and follow a story.
❤️
I have to use mods to actually enjoy the sims 4 anymore and even then it's only fun for a few weeks till i then stop playing it for months
you are very right! my sim got pregnant and went to tell another sim when he pooped, then they argued and started insulting each other and the sim was happy about the baby but despite the joy he had to poop again and text me
This is gonna be long, but here's my personal experience:
For me I had hoppped in between mostly 3 and 4, I'm currently into 4 but its hanging on the fact that I have 1500 mods to sustain it, and I'm not even a vanity Simmer! I'm deep into the four stories I'm sustaining in my save which has been an experience where I had to use too much of my creativity to make something happen (especially valid negative moments) because some things cannot literally run their course due to myriads of reasons. I can say I am still balls deep into Sims 4 only over the stories and the mods that keep my experiences ok, but I feel like my time is indeed limited. I'm just enjoying my time and the effort I'm exerting to keep things at bay in my game before the cracks of the game all give out on me.
3 is still my baby anyway and I'll hop right back into it when that dire moment eventually comes thooo
11:54 I can't find any Hogwarts Legacy videos on this channel. Is it on another YT channel? :)
I'm a builder/CAS player, I want to play it but... But I get bored, I get bored easy :/
It's awful. I literally stopped my channel because of it. I tried, don't get me wrong. But building in TS4 is just depressing.
I'm not going to lie I play the sims 4 because it runs mechanically smoother than sims 3. But I miss the sims 3. 🤣 also ace americm accent 🤣. I miss being able to choose exact colors and.... Well... I think they should really go take a look at their previous games for inspiration. You are right
I honestly think I'm gonna be qutting Sims 4 soon, it's just _wayyy_ too boring now.
About 3 years ago when I first got Sims was the most exciting time ever, I immediately started making Sims and playing around with them and for some odd reason I stopped playing because I accidentally forgot about it and I was too lazy to log into Origin all over again and my computer was getting old and laggy. About a half a year later I got a new laptop that was MUCH better than my computer, then I remembered Sims 4. I transferred my Sims 4 data with a little usb and started playing. I made a new world since I thought of a story idea to do! After about a month, I gradually started getting more and more bored of it. When I was going to return to Sims 4, I was expecting drama, enemies, fun and engaging scenes, intense family dynamics, good love stories, but all I got was just smiles and rainbows. There are a lot of things I want in the Sims 4 that I think would make it more interesting:
-MURDERS!!! It'd be really cool and interesting if there were murderers and the detective job can be used excitedly. You can solve murderers and learn to catch other criminals.
-NEW SCENARIOS!!! A lot of the scenarios that Sims 4 gives us seems pretty boring and already something someone can do without even turning on the scenario thing. What if we have Alien invasions or zombie apocalypses? Loss, character growth, bravery, sacrifices, romance, tragedy, fighting scenes, and intense training would be SOO interesting and engaging to watch play out.
I'll add more in the future but I needa rush to cya y'all!
The sims 4 is the biggest waste of time now. I can’t imagine playing it for more than an hour at this point. Half of your saved gallery items just don’t load, vendors and festivals disappear and float in the sky with no fix, you have to try to command 3-4 times before the sims actually does it without automatically doing their own thing, half the time when you do a command- the sim walks off the lot before it starts the action. The game is unplayable. You have to hit the Debug cheat every 5 minutes on your sims, or objects in order for them to function. If you do any group hangout with a conversation, it overwhelms the game and they bug out and do the T pose. I’m so over this game and even more over EA. I hope they are sued or lose money somehow in a big way because they are truly cutting corners and pocketing extra money, the evidence is in the quality of game play. How is it a game made in the early 2000s ran smoother than a game still being updated in 2022?
I can play sims 1 and 2 for hours and hours. I build a house on the sims 4 for 1 hour and play it for 5 mins and there lies the problem.
"these challenges came from the game being so boring" FACTS. if the sims 4 was a worthwhile game, at all, nobody would have to spend so much energy, time and thought into trying to make it fun.
I’m a the sims 2 player :D I kinda wanna try the sims 3 but im too broke for that lol TT I’ll just wait till EA abandons it so I can get it in oldgames
