UPDATE: Another update that seemed to fix the frequent game crashes in previous update has just been released (17th of November). But after this update, some players have reported that their game is stuck on the loading screen so be aware! If that's the case, try using the "repair game" option on Origin to see if it's working again.
For those who can't see the difference of the skin tones that much, try increasing the video resolution. UA-cam's video compression kinda makes it even harder to see. You can also check out this clearer image comparison from a simguru as well if the video still doesn't do its justice. twitter.com/SimGuruDuke/status/1317143488081752069?s=20
I feel bad for not being able to see them XD
Hi Onlyabidoang!
Can they make Selvadorado a residential spot like they are doing in snowy pack?
Best banget
The update has made my game crash more. 😩
Why is this free update better than every single stuff pack?
savage 😂
But so true
@@syllvanis_ awesome
I need a backstory of Emily, I’m curious as to what she has done 😂
She was born
Watch The Sims Logic
If I remember correctly he said in a q&a that she was just a random Sim that he decided to use in a video once and "God damn it Emily" suddenly became a running gag.
The real question is what hasn't she done?
exist
This is really helpful other simmers didn't show this detailed
Ok. Wouldn't it be easy to be just able to click on sink an select : No washing here and sims would not use that sink for cleaning the dishes or smth like that? It seems like a minor change that would fix a lot of simmers' complaints...
That sounds simple enough, but you'd have to go through and change the setting in every single sink in the house. Might be easier to have a Designate Dish Sink option similar to Set as Front Door.
@O. Phoebe LeiThis is my first time hearing of this and the name has me 😂😂😂😂💀
Simple but still too hard for EA
@@BonaparteBardithion yes, thats what I meant
@@BonaparteBardithion it could be done where Dishwashing allowed only in the sink that way you don’t have to click on like a couple things if you have more than one sink in a certain room or multiple kitchens in the house instead of having to cancel out every other thing from bathrooms and stuff
Oh this actually makes me want to try playing now that theres sentiments and small quality of life tweaks, thank you for showing it so thoroughly
Sentiments are AMAZING! Finally more than a happy emote after finding out your partner is pregnant. Sentiments have improved my game so much more & if we get memories next, this game will be so much better. Right now I'm happy just to have sentiments!! They made everything better.
Yea, I'm glad my sims don't randomly befriend each other five seconds after I make them have a fight 💀
Dont. The new patch has made everyone game crash over and over and over again. Its heartbreaking, so heartbreaking.
@@Gamer_Mama_0611 They're planing on releasing a another patch soon to fix it though. So it won't be a problem anymore hopefully. I didn't have to save my game so much until now.😓
Something tells me he really doesn’t like Emily.
I'm having second thoughts. There's no "Damn It Emily"
Anyone that still can't see the skin tones difference?
I can’t see it
Sometimes I think I’m blind 🤣 cause everyone talks about it and I’m like “what are you guys looking at”
nope
Barely
Nope
Also a new update: game crashes every 20mins
fr yesterday i played for around two hours, i aged up sims, i moved sims in, i didn't save bc i'm an idiot and boom T_T
20 minutes or less for some 😭😭😭😭 all my hard work. I took weeks building 3 different houses just to have my game crash every 5 minutes. My heart is broken and before Sims was the only thing keeping my covid depression at bay...now I have nothing once again.
ikr it's unbelievable 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Yes..:\\
It's so tedious when you forget to save and it crashes, I just kinda give up and then lay down and contemplate my life's meaning
The biggest feature this update added is my game crashing every 10 minutes
So I’m not the only one with this problem
Yeah me too, we have to wait for the update which is coming sometime this week :(
Right! When I play I set a timer that goes off every 10 minutes as a reminder to save and I save whenever I remember too, so many things have been ruined 😭😭
so annoying
Omg same- it's so annoying I just keep saving after I did something that would be way too tedious to do again, but I didn't know my game crashed and I went on my old world and fixed up stuff and it crashed right as I got done 😭
As soon as they fix the crashing issue, we’re all gonna go wild
Use Mccc and make it auto save every sim hour and it's not a problem
Yeah, I can't really get more than fifteen minutes without a crash, Saving isn't the issue, but the fact that game play is horrible when you have to wait on the game crashing and booting which takes about ten minutes for me anyway
@@matthewloughran73 Can you tell me your specs or platform if you're not on pc? I've played so far without crashes. Also, it'd be nice to know if you have cc installed or If you have an SSD because 10 minutes is outrageous if you're not exaggerating lol.
@@cooldude896095 I not much of a gamer or anything so I am using an old laptop. it would normally take about 2-3 minutes to boot up the game, but when the game crashes, My laptop just freezes and even if I hit "ctrl + alt + del" it doesn't respond it takes about 5-7 minutes to come out of this phase, you get me.
My laptop isn't all that slow because I keep it clean, defragment it at least once a year and don't realy hord that many files
@@cooldude896095 CAN YOU MAKE AUTOSAVE WITH MCCC?!??!
The sink issue with most people's games is due to a priority setting, if the sink in the bathroom has a higher performance than the one you used in the kitchen your Sim with prioritize the higher performance sink, this also happens with ovens fridges and back garden BBQ's. Many times my sim has decided to cook using the BBQ just because it has a higher performance.
I always upgrade my kitchen sink first, my Sims must really love the bathroom's.
@@steinaf naaa I ment the base stats in the build mode when you're hovering over a sink to select it tells you it's stats in small font below it's description, for fridges or ovens it'll say food quality: 1-9 for sinks it's the same but with efficiency: 1-9
omg this makes so much sense! thanks for sharing! :)
@@Legendary_Wolfie_Luna though it's pretty stupid cause kitchen sinks usually have lower performance than bathroom sinks
@@Gaxriel I usually use the same style of sink in all rooms. Mostly using the counter top and a sink cause the full sink style usually has higher stats for some reason, EA might need to fix it in some updates, it the same reason I keep selling the BBQ. It's stats are just to high and my Sims be using the thing for breakfast and lunch and tea it's really bazaar. I also hate the issue with the coffee machines oh im a tired sim better just make coffee all night rather than go to sleep on the luxury bed that my overlord went out of his way to buy.
Is anyone else's sims taking excessive naps versus sleeping and absolutely refuse to sit at the damn table at the same time? AND WALKING THROUGH WALLS???
Them walking through walls is really confusing sometimes 🤨 like yeah I made you go watch TV didn't mean you have to go through five walls I put down and the couch to get there 🙄
Definitely. They choose to nap on the cheap couch in the living room instead of the 10 points comfortable bed in the next room. Period. Also, there're left over gourmet foods in the fridge but they go and grab yogurt instead. I can't even.
@@4eee Yeah! Mine keep trying to excessively use the grill despite having a whole gorgeous kitchen even after cooking! Why is this game so broken after what...7 years?
A good way to make them eat at a table (not dine out related, I don't have that pack) is to have a large serving of food at the middle, make every sim sit in a chair at the table, and THEN click "take a serving" if other sims are sitting in diff places like a couch watching tv l, this might not work cause sims want to sit by each other and talk. But if they're already sitting, they'll stay with each other!
i wish they brought back the “accuse of cheating” interaction. it brought some spice to the table
Absolutely!!! And also "Gold digger", as a life-wish, that was my fav from ts3
"You can make Bunk Beds with the platforms"
Simmers: So did you add Bunk beds ?
Sims 4:
*Well yes but actualy no*
i mean, yesn't
They have now
@@claireglover1391 only 2 version, one taken from expansions so, so it does not count
I can finally make a normal split level house
Abi: Emily, think twice. There are so many new ways to keep you in line now.
* Looks at platform* huh, someone is scared of Paralives...
@raticus mctophat paralives isn't even in beta, you can't expect a finished-game quality level from an unfinished game xD
Honestly, I'm just very happy it's breaking the monopoly and giving some good competition.
It’s good for the sims 4 to have competition. I bet we would have never gotten platforms if it wasn’t for Paralives
Exactly what I thought !!
exactly what i thought
Good, they should be.
Yooo, you using one of The Urbz: Sims in the City soundtrack! Wasn't expecting it!
Yup! That games was my childhood
I SEE SOMEONE NOTICED IT TOO !! ♥️
I love the Urbz!!
Best game from my childhood
I recognized it right away! 😍
@@onlyabidoang So honored to receive a reply from you, this is amazing! It's my childhood too.
Honestly, I really don't see any difference on the skin tones, you have to be zooming in pretty far to actually see the anything wrong in it
Its never perfect to players i mean its not that bad i cant even see
Uh I checked and it's much better, still waiting for the overhaul I checked in game btw
5:17 I LITTERALLY had the exact same reaction😂
Wait there is no english word for Schadenfreude? Really? Well as a german I will explain the word:
Schadenfreude means damage-joy if you translate it word by word. I think that explains it very well. For everyone who doesn't really understand, you feel Schadenfreude when someone has a bad time or something bad happens and you are happy about it. Like a person you dislike falls down stairs or something
Lol! I've never heard of this thank you for sharing
@@oti890 fnaf for Life 😂
@@mchjsosde no problem
Interesting, we have a word for this in my language too. I think closest thing in english would be perhaps "feeling malicious"? But I'm not sure
@@memonerolettosette I just noticed that because one of the mood thingys said feeling Schadenfreude which left me confused.
I kept forgetting that there is now Sentiments Im-
My sims still went into the bathroom to clean dishes
But then I realized I haven't given them a sink in the kitchen XD
LMAO
Am i the only one who feels like EA is trying now that paralives is on radar🤣😂🤣 or is it just me... 😂
the rounded platform made me think of paralives instantly lmao I'm pretty sure that's the case
Lol ikr that’s exactly what I thought!!
Yesss, they copied the shoe thing ahahah
Yeah watch the closer paralives gets to release, EA will start releasing fixes and new content for free and announce sims 5. I am sure what ever paralives does EA will do it slightly better and of course have you sell your blood and soul for the content.
Isn't paralives a big scam tho
The skin tones are slightly different to anybody asked, they remove some slight blotches
How!?
I don't see anything?!
They made the skin look less streaky with the colours. Try going back and looking at the forehead?
I really like how Strangerville has one of the vacation perks as "interesting locals" X) Thank you for the video, you always describe the updates the best way for me to understand lol
The only time my Sims use the bathroom sink vs kitchen sink is when the bathroom is too close to the kitchen. Experienced this most of the time in apartment buildings.
Sims team this update: here are some awesome things that will make you want to play TS4 again with a game-breaking bug so you can't play
Yay!!! Isn't it just wonderful having to save every 3 minutes 😭
@@xxrose_meadowxx7344 i repeated the same sim-morning four times, closed the game opened the Sims 2 :)
This update would be pretty cool if it didn’t completely break the game.
I feel 😒 good thing is they will fix it in like a couple days!
@@xxrose_meadowxx7344 1 week later and mine is still broken. ☹
@@AlpacaCigarettes awe really? I believe mine is fixed
It's funny to see how they are veeeerry sloooooowly fixing the problems this 6 year old game had ever since it's rather rough start. It's like Minecraft.
I don't think it's like Minecraft. Minecraft didn't fix their issues before because they had less funding, whereas EA never bothered to make a nice game or listen to the community because it never had any competition. You can see they've heard about Paralives because they downright copied the "remove shoes at home" feature, along with the rounded walls
Sure, you can say it's a pretty common thing and maybe they "came up with it on their own" but... Why now?? If it's so simple, why did they only implement these things RIGHT after Paralives did it?
@@babi6644 Absolutely, its all organized and thought out with money in mind. Paralives is forcing EA to compete where before we had no expectations only wishes. Unfourtantly i do not think paralives will be able to compete atleast not at first, but this is the best thing that could happen for the simulation fans. EA just might be forced into creating new and innovative things again
very interesting now they just need to fix the crashing bug that’s happening now
So I’m not the only one with that problem
Hahahahah, that opening was amazing. I don't know why but watching you Sim slowly walk up those platforms was adorable.
So, basically like sims2 feature "sentiments"
...okay WOAH, TS4 has GAMEPLAY now?!! i lowkey recognise some of these features from earlier features teased by the Paralives team. EA doesn't play, huh. :/
Thanks for letting us know in details about the update! I wouldn't have noticed half of them if you hadn't shown them! Now I just need my sims to stop ignoring the kitchen counters to use the ones in the bathroom or the ones on the patio to cook.
did she really put the trash down to listen to the music on 2:02? 😂😂😂😂
dammit sims!
The crashes are related to sound. Apparently you have to tell the game to not play sounds. On Windows you can do this by going into Origin, click on settings, select Game Properties, and in the text box type
-nosound ( - is included)
This has stopped my game from crashing so far.
but who wants to play a game without sound.
@@ADMNtek Me, because my game crashed on a cell call, then at the festival music. I will be very happy when they fix it. I want my sounds back.
Would disabling sound effects in-game also achieve the same result?
@@BonaparteBardithion I don't know. I got this solution from SimGuruNick's post on twitter. It connected to a webpage detailing their copy/paste solutions for this bug on each platform. forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/983645/crashing-with-the-november-10-update
I haven't played it since the update. I'll check it out. Thanks.
No one have a perfect skin completion... I like that the Sims doesn't have it too
Yeah, in my opinion people are over exaggerating on those skin blotches issue
nabsky yeah, I can’t even see it
People were complaining about the skin tones because the blotchiness didn't appear in lighter ones but it was present in darker ones.
@@taki1255 didn't know that
@@taki1255 maybe it's the same texture but you can't see it in lighter tones? I don't even see anything on darker ones
The pet profile moment was absolutely adorable omg
When I watch your videos, I get inspired to play The Sims 4
Sentiments and rental lots actually make me want to start playing the sims 4. I hope we get more family or gameplay related updates with the update in december!
I kinda wished the sims added vitiligo, it would make sims look more realistic/ more fun. You could pick out your own colors instead of selected swatches for you! And it would be cool if they added disabilities, like having an amputated leg or arm, having asthma, being blind, deaf or mute, etc. it would make gameplay more interesting. + It would be cool to also have blind or deaf pets, either they can get it from a attack or from birth, that would also be more realistic and interesting.
Knowing EA, it will just be another expansion pack
my sims are still washing dishes in the bathroom lol
I really like the addition of sentiments! I like that we can see what the other sim is feeling, even if they aren't in our household. I'm not a builder at all, but after watching this video on platforms, I have tons of new ideas!
I am still waiting when they going to add school bus in sims4
And cars
My thought of Sims adding platforms.. Paralives had it Sims felt the need to do the same because they realise they'll have major competition when Paralives comes out.
What did Emily do 😭😭
But yh I’m really curious what did she do
She is unlucky . Soo unlucky
damnit emily
Being alive
She was born
It's just Emily
The Urbz music in the background is making me feel nostalgic ❤️
Really enjoyed how thorough this was. Thank you! Stay well.
This update's actually amazing! Platforms work so much better than I thought they would, beats TS2's by a mile. The Sentiments look like they'll help relationships a ton; now a Moodlet Solver won't be enough to make a Sim instantly forget that they're angry at another. I can't believe they're fixing townie weather fashion, too--that's been a source of annoyance (and amusement) for so long I thought it'd simply never change.
Shame that it came with crashes, though. I haven't played much recently so I might as well wait for the hotfix to come in before I update.
*pauses The Sims 3 play*
Oh, what has EA given us for TS4?
*Watches onlyabidoang to decide if I should save and quit my current game*
04:17 minutes in
...okay...I can finally make bunk beds...sort of. So I can test the limits of my tiny house making skills...keep going.
06:04
Mmmmm, 'kay. I am slightly interested in seeing the sentiments between my sim self and my sim-roommates I created in a micro home. I want some serious drama between our sim-selves since our real-lives are dull AF right now. 😅
*finished video*
...I'll wait for EA to fix the bugs in this patch.
*Goes back to creating a TS3 town of plantsims and aliens with story progression mod*
Would love to play the sims 3 (even if the sims are ugly to my liking.) but my laptop would never take it :/
I really appreciate the Urbz-backgroundmusic
This update was SO needed. Great video!
that's a really cool update.. especially the platforms and sentiment
now i wish they update the base game careers and make all of them available for work from home like any other new careers.. I find it baffling that a careers like writer and tech guru cannot work from home but a military personnel can work from home 💀
This is a great video summarising and showing all the changes, thank you for your work!
You're reaction to that dog is just so funny!
I love how helpful your videos are
Side note: love the Urbz DS/GBA music
Oh my god the music in the background 😍😍😍
Urbz, sims in the city, my favorite game
Is anyone else’s game crashing every few mins
yeah everyone's game i think
Yes. Can’t even play without it crashing, erasing my progress.
Nah it's usually bc my pc my pc crashes every 3 hours or so
And the relationship and needs section of the game is screwed up
THANK YOU FOR ADDING CLOSED CAPTIONS
They should put cars back, more traits, and the sims fav food, colors, & etc
Yeah, that would be perfect game...
7:24 NOT THE KNIFEE AKKSNFNR 💀💀💀
Ok the sims snapped with this update, it makes me want to play again
This was a really good video and I appreciate how you found stuff that the patch notes didn’t even say are you a wizard?
This video was so clear yet full of necessary details to fully understand what we are getting from the Sims 4!! I really liked it!! You got a new subbie in me lol
Thank you so much! Glad you like it 😁
This was so detailed, thank you legend!
New to your channel. Your videos are the most informative to Sim lovers like me! Better yet, they are downright funny! Thank you for sharing your tips and reviews. I wish I found you sooner!
Thank you! Really glad you find them helpful and entertaining! 😁
To know more about the... ohhh look at him so cute 🤩🥴✨🥺🥺🥺
M'aam, this is a McDonalds-
This update is so cool!
The platforms IMO is the big win from this batch. So much creative potential that we have needed in the base game
Love the Urbz music in the background!
When you gushed over the dog, I did too 😂
I’m so glad they added platforms. I’ve been waiting for this since I got the sims.
Dude, this video saved my life, my sims game was broken for like 2 months and i had no idea what was going on, i just got it back to normal (but i lost my saves :( ) i had NO CLUE how the new updates worked. Thanks!
OMG the music bring me back like 10 years ago to when I played the urbz!
I actually used to like when the Townies would wear the most random over the top clothes on their own.
Love your videos!
YOOO I'm so excited for the platforms!!!! Been waiting for that one for years!!!
I’m loving the urbz sims in the city gba music
Damn, Abi's Microphone just gone better. Good for you Abi
Omg I needed platforms so much
konten lu terbaik emang. Fokus youtube aja pas kelar dokter, spa tahu dilirik maxis ato dvlper lain. htung2 bsa dpt spnsor :D
When I see a new feature on build mode can only drooling with a little bit of tears, because my PC OS is 32-bit :')
Thank you so much for this, the only thing I heard about the new update was the game crashes, so I was really conflicted on playing but all these new features are super interesting and finally gave me the motivation to open the game again
As said in my pinned comment, the crashed should already be fixed in another new update that came out a few days ago.
I was just playing earlier and didn't notice these updates and now I cant wait to play later
Ive been playing with Sentiments for a couple day ms and I’m actually really enjoying it
the platforms will be fun for stages to perform on!
Oh the music of the King Tower from the Urbz 😍
Sentiments can be in four at total? Why mine is replacing themselves? I haven´t been able to stack more then a one. Not to mention showers are glitched again, sigh,.. I will wait till the hotfix.
omg the music is so nostalgic. its from the waters gym in urbz the sims in the city
Close! It's from the king tower actually
I never watched this one? Huh. . .well, anyway, I can confirm that certain Sims, at least, still love washing their dishes in the bathroom sinks, as I had many embarrassing incidents with parents walking in on kids using the toilet while trying to clean up dishes on a recent vacation. It is good to learn a bit more about sentiments, though -- I didn't know the color of the background determined how long it would last!
They finally brought more in depth gameplay!!
Hi abi... i hope you update video the features of DLC snowy escape soon too 🤩🤩
A month ago I tried building a platform based room as I was used to in the Sims 2...then I realise it wasnt possible 😭 now they patch exactly this, can't believe it!
Great video :D
I usually only play the sims beause of the build mode but now I really want to play with my sims to see all the drama!
Never been this early!!
Wow, they trying to prove that sims is a *real game?*
@@01kukuruza Yep, something like that
love the new update! :)
