@@GoddessfrayerValkyrie every simmer already know how to cheat. Want to not struggle with a game? Don't play. Or cheat. It's the same.
it’s the slight manic edge to the voiceover that makes this video tbh
Hah thanks. It's the style I've grown comfortable with, because it's closest to my real personality and reactions even whenever I have to do scripted stuff. I let myself be dorky and snarky and try to have fun.
@@CarlsSimGuides It's why we're all here, after all. Carry on! :D
Its lowkey giving me anxiety but im here for it. Especially when i see "part 1" i know its going to be good 👀
Reminds me a little of Kevin from The Office!
@@CarlsSimGuides i love it!!! let your real personality show my dude! it makes the whole video so much more fun to enjoy 🥰
"There are some other new things, though. Like canning and cooking with children!"
I can't believe the Sims team added children as a cooking ingredient 😩
😂👍
They're more tender, makes sense
They read “A Modest Proposal” then watched Sweeney Todd and decided to use them for meat pies (Alexander will be the first). Dr. Lecter loves them
Child in a can! Get your child in a can!
*sims 2 cookable babies mod flashbacks*
“Fruitcake baby! Set it down and get the hell out!” Lmaooo 🤣🤣
Ikr! 😂😂😂
Get out of my property, but leave the cake first!
“So, I spread my seed all over town.”
Carl’s commentary is top notch.
@Saiyan in the Iron Mask Same. I once was trying to start my second generation and had no in world sims that wasn't my sims half-siblings or elderly.
Pets: no horses.
Simmers:we want horses
Ea, a million years later: have some country life... With no horses
modders will probably be able to turn the lama into a horse :) It won't be ridable but it's better than nothing
@@Icehypernova already done. Same dude who made the city map
giirl i’m convinced EA has trapped all the developers in a cellar and brainwashed them with torture for a week to make them believe horses aren’t real
Or fairies 🧚♀️
Don't give up hope. They'll probably use it for a game pack in the future. You know EA, why make us pay once when they can make us pay twice? 🤡
Just realized they pulled another first pet stuff by packaging country kitchen separate from this.
🥳
Yes and no. As I understand it, this pack does have a kitchen set of its own, if arguably not as cute.
They learned they have to do it the other way around.. just like tiny living and eco lifestyle 🤷
Only the best for their dear fans...
Yeah lol
Sounds like Carl's having a nervous breakdown compiling all this gameplay. Seem like this pack is taking ques from Story of Seasons.
Edit: It's cues not ques. Whoopsie daisies.
*cues
I love story of seasons
Is story of seasons harvest moon? Had no idea they changed the name lol
@@caramelllllllll harvest moon's original developer is story of season's. They are marketed as harvest moon internationally by a different company. Because of some issues (that i forgot), the developers changed name into story of season for their games while the publisher retained the name harvest moon (that's why their games are awful)
@@zakiysaputra6733 the publishes that dealt with the game in the west still retains the rights to the name of the game here, so they can make a harvest moon game cause they own the name here, so they can use this to publish shitty games while relying on the name so that it sells. The actual producer of the old games had to change the name of the series to Story of Seasons in the west.
"You've been abducted. Don't worry about doing your homework, you little nerd." That's just one of the lines that's making me cry from laughing.
I think it's pretty realistic that animals are so needy. And that their barn needs a lot of cleaning, I mean, it's where they pee and all. And I like that it's challenging ! But yeah, not convinced by the other parts of the expansion...
Sigh why cant we just build set up an Automated System where they will get their throat slit at age 2 like real Industrial Farms do and simply dont care that were abusing an individual🤔
Yeah James Turner did more of a full lets play and he showed that the gathering quests really didn't work well because of the stupid "you have to be on the lot at 6am" that has borked all wild plants. The bunnies are cute though
It's a teen rated game why is that something you want in the game plus why have that at all? Doing it yourself is more entertaining
@Sarah Cuomo Lol wtf is wrong with you
See I can do that too :P
Does anyone know if there's a tie-in with the Eco pack to use "organic fertilizer" in the garden?
Carl muttering about his local store selling milk 15 minutes before it expires is pure joy.
Carl my husband's first biopsy was today. He had a day from hell & the Yankees lost again. Your video had him laughing so hard he actually fell asleep rather than stress stare at the ceiling all night. I can't thank you enough. Your dry humor is fantastic. Your sarcasm is a salve. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This comment is one of the reasons I like to pop back in to comments and read things to make sure I did not miss anything important I wish your husband and you the very best on your Journeys and I am happy that my video brought some laughs into your life tell him that I am rooting for him
Aww!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
“And so I spread my seed all over the town” ~Carl 2021
The Cabbage Baby Seeds.
😳...
Whoa, let me put on my PG 13 ears before referencing this!
'IF I HAD GET FAMOUS, WOULD THIS BE THORNE BAILEY??' I am dying
I'm totally gonna delete any and all celebs that dare to show up in my Henford-On-Bagley. Yeet!
This cracked me up too 🤣🤣
“I’m going to use this exclusive early access to starve myself” - WIN
I had to pause and walk away I was laughing so hard.
looks half assed as always and yes I agree Carl I hate to see Townies from other Towns pop up in the middle of nowhere walking along its unrealistic and has never been resolved.
I'm wondering if that's a mod for that, because nothing breaks my immersion quicker than Bjorn and Mortimer strolling around Mt. Komorebi. The language barrier mod was really fun to play with, but this issue makes it kinda pointless. :/
@@narutosgirl613 There is a mod called Sim Spawn Overhaul that fixes this!
@@narutosgirl613 Like @Albie said, yup! It's made by Lotharihoe and it's here: lotharihoe.tumblr.com/post/622921247655919616/sso-sim-spawn-overhaul-download-google-drive
(I was watching Carl's video and he reminded me that I'd taken it out for the Sims Sessions update, so I was literally just putting it back in 😂)
Half assed? Why would they do that they might as well have not made this pack if you think it's that bad plus it hasn't released yet we can't say this is all there is to it
@@lunacouer @Albie thanks, guys!
I love how this pack really takes living off the land & farming seriously - cleaning the animals & their habitats, needing to buy all the food, etc. Love it! I'm gonna play this pack for a while at this rate - nice & slow living-like. ;)
Me too. I can't wait to try the rags to riches challenge with it 😁
The furniture is so adorable too ;-;
Not going to lie the walking part reminded me of the Sims Medieval. I miss the game. Generally it's one of the most pleasing neighborhoods so far.
I love sims medieval 💕
I just bought it and started playing it again
Not going to lie, the worst part of Sims Medieval was walking forever to get places. Glad to see the least interesting thing come back.
Those long dirt paths made me ACHE for a Sims 3 horse to ride on them. Seriously.
the walking MY GOD,,,we rly needed horses for
A lot of the recent Sims 4 packs feel so small. Dream Home Decorator feels like a stuff pack. Snowy Escape, Island Living and this pack feel more like game packs. I miss the times when expansion packs actually expanded the game. At least I wish we got more big worlds like Windenburg
Loved the video, can't wait for part 2!
...and this one does too, so far. I wanna see how it fits with others.
Island living honestly just feels like a world expansion and it doesn't add much to the game either. Am always so disappointed with all these packs, I wish they added more bc I love playing in tropical landscapes
I haven't played this but seeing how much this adds, this feels more like an expansion than many of the past packs, besides they feel as though they have learned from many of their past mistakes. The only gripe i have with this pack is how few BB items it adds.
I think one major problems are the game packs, bc they exist gameplay that should be in other EXPANSION packs are now in game packs and therefore the expansion packs look smaller
@@paulkofler519 I remember one of the gurus saying that they couldn't add more features into the pack because it would mean cutting other features, which is honestly such a bad excuse. Just say that you want to divide content into as many packs as possible to make more money.
“What on this map looks like a lake?” …I’m genuinely confused this is not an episode of Blues Clues 🤣 I chuckled lol
Carl's Clue(les)s
As a girl from Alabama, yes we clean our cows...but only small farmers the larger ones don't
Do cows try to clean themselves? And do they go up to you when they see you holding a brush? (Or whatever you hold)
Lord forgive me
Sweet home Alabamaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lord forgive me
Sweet home Alabamaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As an Alabama girl...yes annoyed it's already dirty...but it really do get dirty that fast 😂😂
@@treespiders9397 cows LOVE to brush themselves/ be brushed. Sometimes farmers will set up a brush station which is more or less a car cow wash and cows will just shove their whole face into it. Extremely cute
Wow, the fairs are even more underwhelming than I thought. I went in with my expectations low and that still wasn't low enough. Another one of those "do it once and never again because it is so dull." If that doesn't sum up The Sims 4 perfectly.
Lol dont tell me they got your hopes up?
Reminded me of graduation in DU :P
I never have high expectations or any expectations when it comes to the Sims 4
Okay but have you been to an actual fair? I think they were just being realistic
@@TrufanNW No, I knew the fair wasn't going to work as advertised. It was much more "we cobbled some crap together and called it a fair" than I thought it would be.
Honestly, this looks pretty fun
I didn't expect to see you here, but I agree. (Love your work btw)
Okay I did not know fandom commentary youtube and simmer youtube intersected but I'm pleased to find that you
I feel so honored to know that Carl is a top fave simmer of yours too.
@@christinez.1454 love his vids!!! i use the guides on his site a ton too
Always awesome to see my favorite creators support each other! Also agreed, this honestly looks like fun and it seems to be a really good pack to boot!
"does anyone else feel annoyed that it's already dirty again." i know its a game but i've lived on a farm and you are never truly clean.
That's totally a pond. It's no bigger than the one in my friend's back yard on his farm in Tennessee. I really wish they had made it unlikely for existing sims to show up on the other side of the Atlantic. It's not like they can go, it's a nice day for a bike ride to England.
I KNEW IT
Yes or if like Sims had likes or dislikes for worlds, they wont randomly show up there, only appear if you invite them
Same goes for snowy escape for example. You shouldn't have that many random people from other worlds just constantly there. Sometimes? Sure, but it should be rare
So, he's been cleaning his cow's barn for a while, but still has nothing to fertilize the crops with? An ad for fertilizer producers or a clueless dev team? Maybe both?
Occasionally fertilizer is added to your Sim's inventory when cleaning the animal barn. It can be used on the Large Crops.
Or maybe… you’ve not seen every single aspect of the gameplay yet because the game literally isn’t out yet 😂🤯
@@DDoubleEDouble you mean the pack? But criticism and pointing this out is good because it can make people realize what is missing and recommend devs to add things
@@PoptartParasol I 100% agree, however the above comment isn’t criticism. They are speculating whether or not something is in the pack, assuming it’s not and then insulting the devs over their incorrect assumption. It’s honestly just mean. There are so many other things that can genuinely be critiqued just based on what we have actually seen. My only point was that it’s better to give an informed opinion than an uninformed one, not that we can’t comment on the game before it’s out (that would be dumb lol)
@@DDoubleEDouble at this point people are just making up excuse to hate on EA because of their greed and apparent laziness (according to some people)which I would join in but EA is doing some good things like adding cool stuff so I'm not complaining yet
When i dont feel like sitting through an hour of tedious livestream, i come to carls reviews
You'll get more information from Carl than the livestreams. 😉
@@gigisneckofthewoods you’re riiiight
i had to click out of the DHD live stream because the sim guru couldnt correctly place cabinets... that was painful to witness. the CL stream was just boring
@@hannahrichey8697 i didn’t even make it 30 seconds in without hving the urge to skip before leaving😭 i applaud you for making it however far you made it
@@hannahrichey8697 You’d think they’d have a halfway decent builder do that one. That “renovation” was a nightmare
If you had Get Famous, it would be Judith Ward wandering around your lot :p
I don't know why I do, but I really do hope not.
Unfortunately, all of the pre-made Sims just love to be anywhere… and miss work/school.
@@brandoniswhoiam I thought it was just my sims doing that. Every time I switch households, everyone is either late for work, school or super hungry. Do sims even know how to take care of themselves LOL
Judith Ward is everywhere.... :(
Or worse Brytani Cho.
The cows don’t Walk Around ?! Just objects basically
chickens do, cows don't. They are tied to an area around their "pen"
@@CarlsSimGuides 😮 Oh no
They are tethered to the barns or how the Gurus said it "like to stay close to home."
The new newborn baby/infant
do they walk a few paces or literally not at all?
I don't play Sims 4 anymore, but I'm watching this because of Carl. The sarcastic humor always gets me. Sometimes it makes me wish they never fix the bugs so Carl can lose his mind over the wonky gameplay. 😂
I love his sarcastic humor... yes we know how you feel Carl and we’re all here for it 💀♥️🤣
When he said " I want to thank EA for this opportunity", i know this won't be an honest review.
I always think that when a youtuber preface their video with "This company gives me the opportunity to review their product" is their way to professionally says "This is not my honest review. This company paid me to do it so please understand because i need the money."
@@prawnchips9461 you really don't know how this works do you? they must be upfront on sponsorships etc.
Carl is VERY critical of the sims, dude is pretty well known for his guides on the sims.
@@prawnchips9461 actually no, the game changers are not paid, they’re just sent early access to review like this. Carl is actually one of the more honest game changers, along with plumbella.
@@prawnchips9461 youre a new watcher arent you buddy
Yeah, i am new to this channel or Simmers content creators. Never knew that he always this sarcastic, it's hillarious. I thought he being sarcastic was just him holding in the disappointment but still trying to be "nice"
I actually found him and other simmers because i had an urge to play the sims and the sims 4 was on sale last week on Steam. I want to buy it, but i remember that The Sims 4 angered a lot of fans. So I want to do some research (Typing "the sims 4" on google and youtube search, to be exact) and found some Simmers, including this channel.
This is my first video that i deliberately watched from this channel after youtube recommend this to me after several days. And i'm here for it lol.
I really wish they fixed the townie and the neighborhoods. Like they can make a hidden trait like “San Myshuno resident”
Good idea 💡👍
for the record, speaking as someone who raised cows - yes you clean cows, ESPECIALLY if you're showing them for 4-H
they also get makeup (in the way of spraypaint admittedly) and haircuts.
we didn't really do it for The Average Cow but in a small farm like this one you could give a lot more individualized attention
Wait, can you elaborate on the spraypainting bit?
How do you give them haircuts lmao that seems like a funny sight
@@lala-4458 Certain breeds of cows have longer hair. The black-and-white short hair is only one type of breed.
Oooh thanks guys i didnt know most of these things
Why would you put makeup on a cow?? I'm so confused
"You're awful Alexander, I know I should have kidnaped anyone else!" LMAO I DIE
The TS4 ship has kind of sailed for me, but this is the first time I feel this optimistic about an expansion.
have been thinking the same exact thing!!
Just the same boring stuff you get in all the packs because apparently you can't have more cow's, like in the sims 3 with the horses: a barn and then you add as many as you want and even breed them! You only can have one barn per animal and in front you have your cow, when you want more you have to add every time a new barn and you can't breed them to have babies! pretty lam! Not worth the money! And what when you don't have enough space to place such a barn???
I also feel like that, I haven't been interested in a DLC for YEARS and this kinda sounds like a decent pack with gameplay. I still think it's too late to salvage the game tho...
Might I add that I only think it's decent bc it will integrate great with existing mods, which shouldn't be a thing, the pack should be able to stand by itself. But then again, you can't expect anything from EA.
@@nathaliecarluccio7559 we don't have horses yet but they should have came in pets. In regards to cows in sims 3 you couldn't breed them either and they were objects too
I was really hoping they would allow Residential lots in Granite Falls and Selvadorada with this. What better place to keep llamas than Selvadorada? I'm not really expecting it to happen though, and I see no reason why it can't.
My granddaddy used to have cows and you have to brush them and give them a bath every so often or they could get sick or get a parasite
I mean that makes sense. I’m surprised people didn’t know this, I always assumed this was the case. 😳
Carl,Welcome to Farming. Yes you do clean the Cow. Clean barn daily. If we had Horse in game, you would have to clean there feet. Farming is not easy. Also my Friend has never had foxes steel thier eggs or chicken. However the Neighbors dog has killed half there chickens. N the Bald Eagles n Hawks love chickens. I love the " never been so happy to see the welcome wagon, give me the fruit cake n leave my house."
their feet*
their chickens*
and*
Only thing I can think is they've never seen a lake 😂😂
Or the person who decided it was a lake and not a pond comes from somewhere with a very hot climate. I live in the middle east, where ponds aren't a thing because they evaporate
Lakes come in different sizes. Not every country has bodies of water on the USA scale. It looks like what I would call a lake in my country.
I think if I worked for EA and was given the task of making a lake....I would take the time to research what common lakes look like and not make excuses
@@runsincircles7200 or maybe, juussstt maybe, lakes look different in different countries lmao e.g the comment above yours
@@limiv5272
R we i
Nothing makes me smile more than Carl laughing at his own jokes. It’s literally so pure 😂
“Get one of each and hope they’re not siblings like Rey and Kylo were.” You mean Luke and Leia?
I was looking to see if anyone else commented on that lol
12 lots...:( I really dislike how there is SO MUCH SPACE and EA puts so few working lots
They could have made all the country lots 50x50 & 64x64. I have lived in small towns. I understand the towns space being small. But all the farms were big. I know live in a small city. All the farms around us at big
@@AuttumnDawn I live next to Amish land, Pa and surrounded by country everywhere, and I think the difference is what you're using the land for. Because the larger farms were for vegetation, not animal stock. Sometimes, animal breeders would have large plots of land. This is because these are money maker farms, specifically for rearing as much produce as you can to sell it. but this pack seems to be focused on the lifestyle aspect and not the industrial, so if you're just raising animals to feed your family, a small farm is better because it's lower maintenance. It would've been cool to have a sort of lifestyle vs industrial aspect to this pack, to continue the theme of Eco lifestyle and really give that pack more playability.
Seriously.. Windenburg has *27* lots ...
This is such a great no bs video. Honest and shows the game as it is without over hype. This videos makes me what to buy it more because I can see what I'm paying for in a way I myself will probably play it. Unlike other youtubers who over hype and hide floors to kiss but, Carl's guide holds true to his channel and himself and shows the game as it is without bs.
abducting a child and forcing it to can vegetables, nothing problematic going on there lol.
I'll likely never buy this game (instead I'd do that yohoho life) so I really really appreciate you making this. You're not a seasoned let's play gamer so your play style is as chaotic as anyone could be. I like it. I like that you're answering questions as I think of them and I know that those you haven't answered, you'll get to those too next time. I like you Carl, you're the best
I think even knowing what I'm doing my style would be chaotic! But even more so when I'm going in fairly blind and have $400 in my Sim's account. I felt the missions were probably OK but not good for early in a game. I have hopes this will be fun with other packs installed.
"They told me to spread my seed to everyone" ....Welp, EA really went all in on the innuendo in this pack 😂 We should've expected no less after the big aubergines in the teaser trailer
Lol your introduction was more optimistic then usual
It's usually fun to dive into new content and check things out and how they work, since it's one of the main things I do. I really need to see how well this integrates with the other packs to have a more sturdy opinion :)
Sounds like you had fun with it. And the chores thing is I guess more game play for teens and kids to help out. So that big family in the trailer was there for a reason. It too much work for just one SIM which is realistic. Realistic gameplay from a farming pack who knew?
I haven't finished the video yet, but this: "I'm really confused. This is not an episode of Blue's Clues" killed me 🤣
Hahah, I thought I sounded like a person asking a child which circle was orange.
@@CarlsSimGuides Haha I was half expecting you to leave a long pause and then go "good job!"
While the fair looked pretty dull, everything else looks pretty promising, not gonna lie. I haven't gotten to say that about a sims EP in ages.
That lake? Yeah… it’s totally a pond. Scale it a few times larger then it could be considered a lake.
They did Stardew Valley errands and farm living without really committing😂 still excited for it tho
Pffff haha Sims 4 WISHED it was Stardew Valley 😂😂
5:00 Damn, that's one TINY world.
I was hoping for windenburg level of lots, but silly me. It's exhausting playing this game and wanting better things.
@@wheezel55 lol it's not even meant to be a big city like Windenburg or San Myshuno….
@@TONZAMUSIC It's definitely meant to have lots of farmlands like the actual places it's based on.
@@TONZAMUSIC it's the countryside. it's a quaint village. except it's literally TINY.
Yeah Strangerville is Bigger. You would think they could at least have made all country lots 50x50& 64x64. The town ones can be small.
LOL "that's a poster, Carl".
Alternative title: Carl having a mental breakdown while reviewing Cottage Living for 27 minutes and 8 seconds
I only watch Carl's videos because he makes them fun. It's the only reason I still glance at Sims 4 stuff.
Love Carl’s brutal honesty when he games! Literally the real deal.
The part where he kidnapped Alexander and the commentary that followed it was my favourite gamechangers gameplay ever😂😂
The "waiting for expensive animals to lactate" part took me OUT
I'm curious: what happens if you kill off the townie like the mayor, the crumplebottoms, the creature keeper etc-- will the fame generate new sims to fill their roles? Also could you place a cow shed or chickens on an apartment lot to do urban farming?
Maybe in the penthouses?
Apparently, everyone except the Crumplebottoms (they’re immortal) gets replaced.
I laughed so hard at the abducting of the Goth kid
Required ingredients is going to go so well with the grocery mods
me having early access... but still came here as soon as you dropped this vid 🤣
Hey, my buddy. Happy to see you drop in.
*can already picture Carl and his bird army*
I'm working on that now in my script, this is the best comment.
Showing how large and empty the neighborhoods are still makes me question why the hell this pack didn't come with horses. They'd be *perfect* to trot around the place and help with these quests and deliveries.
"That's a poster, Carl."
thanks, was keeping my eyes peeled for this!
The way the lot challenge that makes my sim have to buy grocery is probably the best thing of all! I will use it for every single lot!
The way the cheese works, I'd assume, it's actually a dessert. That's why it has 12 servings (kinda like a cake) and you need two, to actually fill up hunger.
Thats an interesting choice for me. Soft cheese sure, but hard cheese is like a brick sitting in your stomach LOL. Very filling.
There are a total of 14 residential lots and 13 community lots in Windenburg...I guessing we will never see a new world of this size again.
Pretty sure we won't. Looking back that was such a good pack, in comparison to what we get now.
"A bike will be handy"
*laughs in cottagecore witch w/ broom*
Same
I can’t get over the lake bit… too funny
I'm still excited for this pack. Not sure how much will change between what you have and what i'd see when i can buy it and it's combined with the other packs.
Regarding your surprise about the amount of care the cow needs, this is weirdly enough one of the things i'm most excited about. Well, i mean, i'm excited about a lot of things from this pack, but the focus on daily tasks/chores that are nice and repetitive without being annoying (that i could see) are something i've been trying to do without much success.
Yeah this is a good reason to hold off on a review. Some of the activities + cows/chickens might be really fun with other packs installed especially with the new lot trait.
Of the three Cottage Living videos I've watched, yours is by far the most enjoyable. Thank you for sharing the good and bad with us!
That "lake" looks like the pond Mr. Darcy jumps into in the 1995 version of Pride & Prejudice 🤣
I love how animated and friendly your voice is!
The commentary in this video is absolutely perfect. This is why I subscribed. Also, it may be just me, but I am getting some Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time vibes from this pack with the chickens, countryside setting and farms. Not to mention running errands.
Iistening to him makes me think he hasn't farmed before. Animals poop, and they should be fed every day. So you clean their living quarters and feed them daily. They also will need brushing depending on the animal. Farming is constant work and waiting for the ability to sell your products is a big issue. It can be hard to make ends meet. Also cheese can be a meal and it is made with ingredients. It might not be a meal you'd want but it's still something you can make. Mozzarella sticks are just fried cheese.
@@carolyingfa I think your interpretation of my words and the meaning of my words are different. I only commented that he gave me the impression of not having farmed before. I never said anything about expecting him to have farmed. There were no expectations, I made an observation. These things are different.
...duh???
@@kat8559 Not sure what your comment is referring to.
I’m guessing you’re a farmer?
@@AstarionWifey No, I've never been a farmer. I grew up spending every summer on my grandparents' farm where I helped out with daily tasks (usually tending to the chickens). Which is the only reason I'm familiar with farming. These days I garden but don't partake in husbandry.
omg i almost died when he said "this is the first time ive been happy to see the welcome wagon in my life"
Kidnapping a kid to prove game mechanics it's a mood
I can't wait for kids to garden. All the kids are now working in the fields. No need for school. New sims challenge. Making money of the kids
@@AuttumnDawn lol, forced child labor 😅
Not you taking a goth child then sending him back 🤣🤣
He's still swimming the Atlantic, they say.
I'm absolutely losing my mind over the condescending tone of a lot of what you're saying. This is such a good overview. lmao
Crap I wasn't even trying to be condescending!
@@CarlsSimGuides nooo I loved it. Seemed appropriate. I love The Sims so much but EA also pisses me off so much. 😂
"That's a poster Carl" - Carl 2021
Carl: "I'm gonna use this early access to starve" - XD
Ok, this made me laugh. Of course, I'm still not interested in anything Sims 4 anymore, but watching you play this was entertaining. 🙂
“i spread my seed all over the town” MY GOOD SIR??
"I spread my seed all over the town"
Welcome to episode of "Out of Context" Season 1
Thanks for the video! Glad to see you posting again!
Happy to be getting back into the swing of things. I was on a very long project in June!
OMG I have missed you!!! I about peed myself laughing so hard. Welcome wagon!
Carl went and did the "GET THOSE NPCs OUT OF MY LOT!" 🤣🤣🤣
I kinda wish they'd make diet traits not actual personality traits bc the lactose intolerant and vegetarian traits would be fun but they take up a place for real personality traits
Yes need more slots and more traits period.
It would make sense to add something for food preferences into the likes and dislikes menu, and vegetarian and lactose intolerant could go there and not be personality traits.
*”THIS IS A POND!*
*sigh*
*i was sure it was a pond.”* 😂😂😂
Carl is hilarious but does anyone else think this pack looks really boring?? I’m underwhelmed tbh
So am I. I had some fun in Strangerville and Batuu. I’m exploring Mt Korambi and will check out the jungle adventure when my teen Sim grows up.
@@mikoto7693 batuu? Wow, people really buy that one huh
It really does...
You always give a chuckle Carl. But this one had me laughing out loud. I didn't even want Cottage Living but I do now. Thank you for all your helpful, informative, and entertaining work Carl & Company.
I swear, one of the best things about a new pack is your video on it. This one has got to be one of my favorites, lol. I swear, I cannot wait for the pack to come out for the final gameplay review.
I love how he brings himself to laugh regularly.
Carl...you're a gem! I'm going to enjoy switching this town to the 1800s.
The dance in front of the chicken got me weak. 😂 25:11
You'd think "spreading your seed" would be a tad more enjoyable... 🤣 Thanks for sharing your gameplay experience so far.
Carl: "I guess you can just eat cheese."
Wisconsinites: "Your point?"
Rey and Kylo aren't brother/sister, they're technically cousins, i think
nah they aint. It'd be funny as hell if they actually were related tho. The whole idea of Darth Vader being created by palpatine is actually a nightmare from a comic book. It's not true, it's just his insecurities. (I've read it)
There's a rather English flavour to this pack, what with the buildings aesthetics, the red 'phone boxes, the pub. I mean, they even have bangers 'n' mash and Yorkshire puds!
Cor, I'd go for some Yorkshire pud right about now.
