Sims used to be a virtual dollhouse, but now it's way too complicated and realistic to be just that. It tries too hard to be a copy of the real world. I'm all for more customization when it comes to CAS or building, but there's just too much to do in live mode, it's overwhelming.
This!!! I agree, TS4 build and CAS are awesome, I do love building in it (love the aesthetic) but when it comes to the gameplay the interactions are waaay too complex, I don't like to keep thinking what bubble option to choose from to build a relationship with another Sim 😅 it's already difficult in real life 😭
My thing is, I love the added realism but I wish I didn’t have to pay for it. Laundry, vacuuming, seasons, etc. should’ve been free updates that you could disable if that’s not your gameplay style. It’s a life simulation game! Why should added realism to a life simulation game cost this much money??
For real! Paying for such an ordinary thing is awful, it should have been free as an update for the base game, but now it's like a puzzle, you need a bunch of packs in order to have these options available 🥴💲
Honestly, packs were handled a lot better in previous Sims games... They just are trying to milk money from the players by giving them a dopamine rush from playing new stuff in the Sims 4, then once that is gone, they buy another pack and then another and another! And I think EA knows what it's doing by giving large Sims content creators free packs, so they can showcase the packs for other simmers to feel FOMO 😭
@@donut1550 that's why having competitors it's necessary, otherwise the company can just do what it wants which is what EA has done with the TS4 😓 maybe the new upcoming games can make EA fear a bit, but tbh I'm not really hopeful lol
i actually don’t mind the pack format … especially if the base game is free to play…honestly money has to be paid somewhere.. but there use to be two pack types …. expansions which were huge game changers and stuff packs which were STUFF but like 100s of stuff to add to your game including functional objects, not the slim pickings of a sims 4 kit. Now stuff packs are little gameplay things, kits are little handfulls if incomplete assets, and game packs are basically hyper focused and theme locked. If we got a big beefy house care expansion that had laundry, vacuums, maybe lawn mowing, etc etc and that needs to cost money as a big beefy pack cause the game is free, great. That’s the cost of free-to-play, you pay for the addins. But now packs cost more to give us less per dollar.
I loved the chaos in the sims 2 and 3. Especially in the third game, I loved to be a menace, starting fires, fighting mummies, making graffity on university buildings, skinny dipping, attacking public spaces with my alien ship, crashing parties and romancing any hot sim I found on the map. It allowed me to live up messy fantasies which I couldn't do irl, since I've always lived peaceful and a bit sheltered life as a teen
@@Atrament04 Yes!! Love the chaos. Yesterday while playing The Sims 2, my Sim's girlfriend went to his house while he was at work and stole his dirty newspaper and run away 😅 I'm always experiencing new things on a game that I play for more than a decade!!
I love how every gamer community who gets into contact with EA somehow ending up hating them. :D Sims FIFA/FC Madden Mass Effect Battlefield Need for Speed Star Wars F1
It's funny you mentioned vacuuming, because I think Bust the Dust kit did bring fun to the game. Not with vacuuming, but with when you don't vacuum. Those Dust Bunnies are pretty hillarious in the right Sims fashion. It's shame, though, we don't have more of these funny moments in Sims 4. But there still is fun in the game. Like, in Seasons, showering in the rain is pretty funny. Or sending bees on your enemies. We also have monsters under the bed, which may be annoying, but is also pretty funny. But I agree that these funny moments are scarce and often overshadowed with too much realism. Sims 4 really should take hints from their predecessors and stop being so serious.
@@petrnovak7235 It's really scarce 😓 like one person said: it's a shame that all of these come in kits that you have to purchase instead of a free update for the base game, so in order to have fun you have to spend money 🥺
I came to playing The Sims last week, a game that I loved in my childhood playing 1 and 2. I had played 4 a little, but I only like the graphic style and the multi-tasking. All the rest is boring and you need zillions of expansion packs to be fun, and you still going to have the funny experience of older The Sims games. I'm playing The Sims 3 and rediscovering the game I hadn't played, just the base game. I'm having fun specially with the open world, that's a great idea! Buuuut, we don't have the same fun as The Sims 2. The Sims 3 get the execution better than 2, but 2 has Open For Business experience never ever repeated, unfortunately, for example. I'm looking for a The Sims killer to hauahauaha🎉
I agree! We can love The Sims 3 but The Sims 2 is something else, there's so much to it, I love the details of interaction that it has 💖 Hope one day someone will create something crazy and fun like this!
This ate!!! I’d like to mindful as well tho that this is same game that allows you to have werewolves, mermaids, alien same sex children, childbirth via Beyoncé robot machine etc. I agree with the thesis of the video, the sims 4 is missing organic character, all the character comes from player driven interactions but at the sims 4 by itself can still be enjoyable. I wish we were getting a sims 5 but they might start making the game better now that it’d be profitable to actually listening to players. Realism isn’t the problem it’s the lack of characteristic charm that’s supposed to accompany it!!
I love TS4 CAS but I still go back to TS3 for gameplay. It's somehow both more realistic AND more entertaining, chaotic and engaging. It's more realistic bc you feel like your actions have so many consequences, and open world makes you feel like there's endless possibilities, but it's also more entertaining bc the game takes itself less seriously overall.
i really agree with ur points here even about the packs you mentioned being stale, unfunny compared to the Sims 2, however i really liked the knitting pack bc I'm a knitter so I'm kind of biased towards that pack so i gotta disagree on that example :,)
you explained it very precisely. i only play TS1 and TS2, TS4 was just disappointing... for me, it was the amount of choice I had, it just added so much complexity that the game lost a little bit of its magic! i mean, 4 ways to eat yogurt for breakfast? do we really need that? we could go to work and perform some tasks to make more money, that was such a great idea for the expansion, but the execution was below expected, full of bugs. TS1 and TS2 are still the best ones, in my opinion. :)
Exactly! Once in a while I always try to play TS4 but I always end up feeling overwhelmed or bored. I play more now for the building and decorating as it's something I like. But I'm always playing TS2 or TS3, geez it's sooo much better 😅 I started playing TS1 this years and I find it so cool!
@@fruiteast nice! The construction in TS4 is great, I always make my own house when I want to redecorate or renovate something in real life 😂 oh, and TS1 is so magical, I'm glad you've started!
@@fruiteast it was. They made a poll. I don't remember the other options but laundry day was the most boring one. I think another option was something with an arcade? Some people really just want realism I guess.
a lot of modern games are too serious for me...i liove cities skylines but i miss till to day the whimsical nonsens of sim city....and i feel the same about paralives and inzoi...
@@elivenya-theautisticbookwy9638 I feel you! I wished we had more games like Themed Hospital as well, just nonsense and funny 😪 I'm also not excited about Inzoi or Paralives, guess we'll have to stick with the old ones.
I agree. Honestly, what made the Sims 4 not fun for me is it being so expensive. (Mind you I've been playing the sims for only 8 months) I really enjoyed it at first but when I discovered mods I had way more fun, with mods you could have VERY similar things that EA paywalls. I always say if you need your games community to make your game better, you need to fix it. I've bought 2 packs and after a while their not even fun. (I deeply regret buying them now) And with their recent updates ESPECIALLY the romantic boundaries its not fun anymore. I can't have a couple without one of them being enraged at their mate because they think their mate cheated or their loves dying or whatever idk 😭when I JUST CREATED THEM. Honestly there's so much more i could rant about but my comment would be way to long. All that to say I stopped playing Sims and moved onto other games.
You can always come back to the roots. I reinstalled TS2 and living the dream. I dodge TS4 in every way, I played for like 20-30 hours and that's it and probably never will play it again not because of stubborness but because it is boring for me.
@@firaszerneboch3223 I do!! I love playing The Sims 2, this year I started playing The Sims 1 and I totally love it! I'm always happy to know that people do still play TS2! I do have some videos of it here too. The Sims 4 only works for me to create buildings and decoration, otherwise I'm off 🤣🤣
Get rid of AI voice and use your real voice. Not a hater, I just think it would genuinely help to build the channel. AI voiceovers were a thing for a couple of years but now everybody is starting to get sick of that and content that is real and comes from a real person and real mouth is being somewhat of an added value nowadays. Keep it up and try to reconsider that.
I agree that it feels more personable to have your own voice. If that feels a bit to public, you could do what spill sesh did and modify your voice just a tiny bit. I did like your points on the Sims and that it just feels a bit to much like real life, which doesn't feel as fun. I miss the chaos of the earlier Sims games
I feel a bit embarrassed to record my voice so that's why I opted for a robot, I know it can be annoying but this is the way I found to make this video 🥺 I'll try to encourage myself to record the next ones, as I understand how it can be! Thank you for your comment 💖
Not everyone is comfortable and skillful to use their voice for videos. Don't push yourself. I personally liked the ai version, because it sounded more sharp and critical. It suited the coldness of the sims 4. @@fruiteast
Exactly, If only the game execution was as good as The Sims 2, with full animations (there's not even loop in TS4 animation, your Sim just suddenly stops and repeats) and details. I hope one day they'll release the full game, I'm tired of playing the beta 🤣🤣
I know It can be annoying but I'm a bit shy to record myself when there's people around, so this was the way I found to make this video 🥺 I'll try to record myself next time!
The sims won't improve (or at least won't improve very much), nor will games with a younger fanbase, because there's plenty of kids with their mom's money who will buy anything, And no, it isn't okay if someone likes the sims 4 and buys it. It means they have low standards, and their willingness to support such a crap, fundamentally shallow product, is what makes EA make games like TS4. And do what they do in other games generally: nickeling and diming players for content that sometimes should've been in the base game. they probably are young if they like ts4, meaning they have no frame of reference to realize that TS4 is a turd.
