@@phillipjoseph not per se, it's too early to say, I mean it's just renting a room, nothing spectacular, I could see working like city living when you visit other people apartments, for all we know, that room we saw could be it
@@melinabbbbb Yes! Until I remember that getting to lvl 10 of the new Romance skill will make every NPC that comes near your sim(s) will get flirty and basically S.A. your sim(s) every time you turn your attention away for half a second... than I I get sad again :(
I'm expecting the date planning to be the exact same thing as the existing party planner screen. EA is never going to go all out if they can just recycle something already in the game and charge 40 bucks for it.
the animation of the new seductive dancing looks so wonky.... like a badly made mod, not a part of an actual game that you have to pay a lot of money for.......
@@krissyaubuchon7103In my opinion, a wonky dance as part of an overall good pack is fine and funny but as a major selling point in a lackluster pack that's come as a last installment in a long line of broken and unimpressive packs, I don't really think it holds up. For reference, I don't buy the packs anymore but I still play the game and keep up with the news because I'm not quite ready to abandon all hope for a new Sims 2 or 3 level era.
It's greed they did it with the horse pack too. In the sims 3 we got all animals in one pack now you need 3 different packs and pay even more then the sims 3, don't buy it most of what i see is already in other packs and the new stuff even worse than some of the mods you can get for free.
We have woohoo closets in city living. Seriously do they believe a new death, 2 new woohoo spots, and some new animations constitutes an expansion? Paranormal stuff has more gameplay than this trailer. Can't wait to see how this breaks my game. For rent is still broken, and my Sims get evicted from residential rentals waaaaay too easy.
why are you guys surprised that its underwhelming??? im not expecting anything good, shocking, or spectacular from this pack at all. actually, the only shocking thing is that they're trying to sell this crap for $40. This isn't even worth the 50% off sale.
@@tunzlunz My words exactly. Like, everyone is complaining about it when I know they're gonna end up still buying it, even when it's during the 50% off sales. When are they going to be freed from the shackles of purchasing packs, because we're not being forced to, and your game works just fine without it.
New career, eye lashes, woohoo rug, online dating, new world, new dance moves, bed cuddling, new activities, new aspirations, turn on/turn offs, new lot trait, renting a room, new cas, new build items, new world and more.. I think it’s pretty solid.
I'm sorry, I hate that he said "Maybe they were gonna make it an active career but they didn't have the budget" DIDN'T HAVE THE BUDGET?! we've spent $1,600 per person on this game and they don't have the budget for ONE active career, which we haven't gotten in a while! 😂
but it’s true. EA gives them limited recourses eventhough we KNOW they (EA) can afford to give them (Maxis) a bigger budget for these packs. They make way too much much money off of this game and from the players to skip out on adding more gameplay. :/
Was it a different shape? The door looked smaller. Are we getting smaller closets? That would be great, the Get Together closets are huuge. Especially if we can still change other sims' outfits with them
ngl, the way it's phrased here seems like a very lazy implementation of polyamory. basically having it be "they're just not jealous" for simplicity. I'd love if I could decide my sims' relationship style separately from deciding if they're jealous. I want my sims to introduce a prospective new partner to the relationship, and having their preferences and how jealous they are influence how their partner react. polyamory isn't not being jealous, or not caring about who your partner is with. It's a different system of a relationship
Right... but that concept is hard enough for me to grasp by the way you explained it, so imagine them adding such an intricate system for such a specific and uncommon thing
@@guisantos2934 well I suppose it would be hard to grasp, since I didn't try to explain it in the first place! and it's not like we don't have a whole bunch of specific and uncommon things in the Sims already either they're adding it anyway, so why not put effort into it
@@guisantos2934There's actually a mod that does that! Op, if you have access to mods, I recommend Open Love Life, by Lumpinou, it's really fleshed out!
Personally, the world is not giving Mexican/Spain or Spaniard-ish by any means (at least whats shown on the trailer). I expected different structures but I guess I'll wait to see the whole world. Overall, its still giving game pack but ofc what else is new. Personally I wish we can just skip forward to when the glitches and ppl unable to play the pack cause they pre-order or whatever the case. And for people who wants to say they over negativity, it's like babes you are completely valid in living in your world where u think its not going to happen but history shows otherwise no shade. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the free stuff because even if it breaks the game, at least I don't have to complain bout wasting my money over it.
Same. This city looks too much like San Myshuno for my tastes. I expected a totally different feel. Plus, EA keeps making these tropical worlds with palm trees and whatnot. If they were going warmer climate again, a city on the Sim version of an African continent would have been nice. But I suppose they went Hispanic again because they already had the assets, the dance, etc.
This pack will get old soon and we'll all be back complaining.. this is an emotional rollercoaster - First its excitement for the pack then the pack releases and destroys our game, then we get mad and complain..
I haven’t even really seen people that excited about this pack. Plus, I think this trailer killed any excitement that was ever there. The world looks really boring and bland. Idk why they bothered
I get my wedding story ptsd, like you pay money for a even worse wedding (or dating in this case). And it will probably be as empty as the horse pack. Something that could be cheaper, but it gets sold for 40 bucks because EA.
This is actually worse than I expected. It feels like a combination of My Wedding Stories and For Rent (and will probably work just as "well"). The world will be just as empty and lifeless, and the game play will be buggy af. Nothing will ever change but somehow players still believe things will be different the next time around. They are going to keep turning the most coveted features into EP after EP in order to milk The Sims 4 before they stop development altogether.
I think the new death MIGHT be death by sadness, hopefully not another emotional death, it'll be much harder when a family member or friend dies if this death is actually from sims being very sad
This only solidified my opinion that it has no business being a pack at all, this should've only been base game. The only thing that gave pack was the world, and I don't even care about that if the rest of the content should've just been base game. The only time I'm gonna buy this is if it's either Kit priced or free, it's not worth anything more than that.
Right? It looks too much like San Myshuno. In other words, it's generic as heck. IRL, cities usually have their own distinctive flair: architecture, culture: attractions. Ciudad Enamorada has nothing distinctive -- unless the blankets are linked to that city's parks and can't be used anywhere else.
I see some furniture that was straight up recolored using the exact same mesh. This build/buy alone is lazy, uninspired, and redundant... much like the sims' team leadership - remember, art is inspired by real life - if you're lazy, uninspired, and redundant, then your "art" will be as well.
You are definitely too optimistic, Pix. I think a ton of these things are gonna be skins in furniture, not actually new things. We already have Closet Woo-hoo, it's just a re-skin. Plus people have been crying out for the Heart Bed since base game. The only thing that looks genuinely 'new' gameplay wise is the Social dating thing, and really, it doesn't look THAT great. Only useful for story-telling. It sounds like one new job is the Romance Consultant. The world is even smaller than they said it would be. What's so fascinatingly new about feeding each other strawberries, and how badly will it be bugged to get two people in the same room at the same time? I wonder what Wicked Whims will do when presented with this pack?
would’ve preferred fairies over this or a royalty EP since they gave us that castle build kit. Everything just looks so lackluster especially the world
Even though it feels like a game pack and it doesn't appear very impressive, it's giving MEGA SIMS 1 VIBES! :D So many details, the costume suitcase, the love bed and even some tiles and such seem to be from Sims 1.
I wouldn't expect the mirror just has a couple swatches with premade photos on it. I'm also expecting the costumes dance to be of the sim rapidly switching between costumes as in the video.
I'm guessing the hotel is a rabbit hole you can sleep or woohoo in (hopefully by paying money, hotels aren't free) like a love hotel. Bc otherwise they would have made a bigger deal, hotels are really complicated to put together and I'm sure when we do get it you'll be able to create your own. Still nice, though I wish we had world edit so we could put them into other worlds
@salagadulaemme They need to do it if we're ever going to get cars bc there's so many houses with no road access. It drives me nuts, there's CC and even stuff in the game that would be great to have more than one place (like movie theaters) but you can't change anything outside of the lots. Heck, I even get that bug where an object gets stuck right outside of the lot and then you can't delete it. The good thing about the 'love hotel' is it will make it easier for filthy cheater Sims especially since we can now go to a second location on dates. Or is that bad news?
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think they need to stop with the new worlds for each and every pack. We have more than enough worlds now, what we need is more activities, things to do, and venues that we can place in the worlds we have. The chunk of budget it takes to make a new world would be better spent on more substantial features, in my opinion. I'm not saying no more new worlds ever, but I don't think a new world needs to come with every EP or GP.
I'm honestly sad the world isn't based on Paris. You know, the city of love? Edit: I honestly don't care about why it's romanticized, or how much it deserves to be. I just want a Paris world, is that so wrong? 😭
I think the 3 woohoo "spots" are; 1) the heart bed, if you look closer, you can see that it is kinda vibrating, 2) The blanket and 3) The closet/room? But I'm disappointed that those are all recycled animations, the bed woohoo is the regular bed woohoo animation, the blanket is recycled from coffin woohoo and closet/room is the same as get together pack's closet woohoo. Nothing special and kinda lazy, I was expecting new animations since they are selling it as an EP.
im happy they didnt spill everything in the trailer cause when they do that usually means the pack isnt gonna have much but when they dont show everything that usually means the pack will be surpassingly good like when eco lifestyle was announced. at first i was like wtf. but in reality its one of the most in depth expansion packs we have.
The trailer doesn’t show much at all so I am hoping they left a lot out due to the leaks (wishful thinking) I’m going to purchase the pack anyway because I see tons of CAS and build buy that caught my eye 😅
I think the sims are running out of features. Date ideas like ice cream, arcades, bowling would have been great for this pack but they’ve already been done so they’re just giving us “concepts” at this point 😭
The date planning sounds nice & I like the new dynamics and romantic boundaries. I like the traits as well, but omg with all these new traits that come with new packs why are we still limited to 3 slots?! They need to expand to 5 trait slots at least! This is ridiculous. You can’t fully immerse your sim in all the worlds and packs and gameplay because you barely have room to build them up with pack specific and base game traits
Okay… but Dear EA, we fans need a MUSIC expansion pack - a fully fleshed-out career for singers, bands, instrumentalists (drums, harp, flute, trumpet etc.), concerts, music competitions, because we want to create our own musical idols! Could we please get the ability to create different stages for musicians, concert tours? This was in The Sims 3... I won't even mention cars... If you also want a music expansion pack, please write about it in the EA survey and in the comments below.
I feel like the rating for who plays the sims goes up with this trailer, but I feel like this should have been in the base game itself or in some of the other game packs or expansion packs.
Idk, it just seems to not really have anything in it besides new costumes and animations. I like the dating app but that also seems kind of bland. I like the idea, but is it worth 40$?
I wonder if sims can become more fragmented, I feel like this would have been a hotdate expansion pack with nightlife , dates , restaurants , bowling nights, arcades , cinemas, yea even parking lots and yes cars , hottubs, blind dates, hotels. But I guess you can not have that when they upsell all these common themed features in 10 different packs
here are all of the things i saw in the trailor and blog about the expansion 1. dating app 2. better dates 3. new rug, closet and ??? woohoo 4. attraction 5. more dynamics 6. romantic satisfaction 7. new skill 8. new career 9. new world 10. new lot trait 11. new build 12. new cas 13. new interactions 14. new dances 15. two(?) new traits 16. new apartments/penthouses 17. new rolaplay 18. new death type 19. new games 20. room renting/HOTELS(???) 21. new aspirations 22. new fears 23. counseling!
This is such a disappointment. Cupid's Corner is just Social Bunny revamped, Create a Date is just the wedding planning system where you choose when where and activities, we already have likes and dislikes of different personality types so that's not new, basically everything is just recycled stuff from other packs. Nothing here is even worthy of being a game pack, much less an expansion pack.
The world is like City Living and Tamarang put together. I also noticed that they used a lot of the deco from those worlds in this world. I still feel its not enough for 40$ and I also feel it will become a has been pack, one that will fade away over time. All I see is the modders making this pack way better than EA short comings, per usual.
I just wish there was more to it like turn on's and turn off's, like maybe i want my sim to have like Vlady daddy people or gets turned off by like prepy people, like someting more. It's just very empty
Sims 2 style likes and dislikes would be cool!! Or like the scope room feature from night life
6 місяців тому+1
Finally an expansion pack that seems fun enough for me to buy 😅 But definitely only when the price drops, I could never justify to spend 40 dollars on a single expansion.
Cuddles and dating app isn’t worth 40 . Everything else you could already do in game .. they could have made like more dating spots like a romantic carriage ride since we got horses or a magic date .
Have the gurus being gassing this pack on social media?? I feel like when they’re really proud of a pack they tease it and hype it up on their Twitter accounts. Then when a pack is mediocre at best they’re pretty quiet lol
I was ok with this EP... IF, ONLY IF, it would come with a physical attraction system... it wont, so it will be very weird to see my sims being ''turned-on'' byt sims they dont like the body... thats it for me, they ruined it and made it blend and not exciting... im not buying this SHIT.
I'm excited to finally get the systems like attraction and the app still looks better than the options we have right now from mods (at least it's easier to see what people look like), though I really wish we could see some of the other sims' likes and dislikes. At least for activities, that's pretty common. But I'm glad there's a way to scan the room for people you're attracted to, that's so helpful for trying to find potential dates for your sim in a random bar
I feel like we already have these features, or these are just a "blankets" over existing ones. The dating app lacks depth and is just like social bunny. We have parks, food vendors, penthouses, kissing, picnics, even the traits are similar to traits like loyal, fliry or jealous. You know? I'm underwhelmed but not disappointed. I expected this and that sucks.
Everyone is jumping on the jealousy settings as Polyamory but I would just be happy for my young Sims to date around without it being super serious. So often sims meet and wanna move in and get married within a week. I play on long lifespan for a reason I’d like my college kids to be able to party and have casual not-a-relationship hook ups. So jealousy filters will certainly help with that. As a poly serious relationship is still a commitment specific to people who have agreed to be in a relationship. Its just a relationship of more than 2. na what I am looking forward to in the jealousy settings is it being allowed to not be serious, poly or not. What they also need is evolving filters. My college sims may be all about the party life, but when they do get married and get serious (again, poly or not) I want the ability to make it serious and committed for the committed parties involved.
From what I can see, it looks to be comparable to My Wedding Stories gameplay wise, but with more recycled content. Hopefully since it's recycled it won't bug out as bad....I won't be buying it full price. I haven't bought anything full price since Cottage Living. They're probably underfilling the packs to compensate for this if I'm typical. Maybe there's a lot of Build and Buy, but I don't really need more stuff unless it's unique, like a porch swing, etc.
I mostly want to point out that while they list both cuddling and sharing food as pack features they are both already in the game. You can already cuddle on sofas or in bed and if you have Dine Out (not sure if you can without it), you can share food with interactions like "Feed Bite" and the one that lets your sims playfully steal a bite from their date. This is not looking good to me. Did you catch that is says "With Penthouse Suit"? Take note that it was singular. I bet it's already owned by the NPC they show in the trailer too. I really need to see more before I can call this anything more than a Game Pack and I certainly won't be paying more than a game pack price at any point unless I feel it's actually worth more.
I'm buying it for the world and I am exicted-ish but what would've made this better, for me, would've been a new interactive date activity [like a couple's dance class, ax throwing, mini-golf, etc].
Can we all just aknowledge that game packs are dead and the new expansions are kind of an in-between. It's such a shame too, they were my favourite dlc type. Last one we saw was Werewolves (so good!) and that was two whole years ago!
So we only get an additional 2 woohoo spots and this supposed to be a love expansion pack?? Why couldn't Life by You still be in the running?? I am sooo disappointed and kinda pissed too
@@ellieward537 yes and _should_ have come with a blanket and animations or gameplay but really was just an item to carry inventory. I was so disappointed by the picnic basket in Cottage Living. . . that said it being included in this pack is just insulting because of that and it isn't enough to convince me that this pack is value for money either! I have a bad feeling it will not be cross pack compatible.
Literally all these features can be done by wonderful/wicked whims.... so like... no point in this expansion pack. AT MOST it should be priced as a game pack. I refuse to purchase this.
I’m not gonna lie, Cupid’s corner is sooooo underwhelming ugh 😩 they could’ve atleast added more preferences. I know Modders are gonna have a field day with this one. Most definitely giving GAME PACK
i wouldn't be surprised if renting a room was just a rabbit hole type thing...

The city looks awfully bland
The city look generic enought that could represent a lot of different places. It kind of remimd me of São Paulo in Brazil.

If they were going warmer climate again, a city on the Sim version of an African continent would have been nice.

I wish that they would've included multi-lot vacation rentals in this pack...
That would make sense, since there is supposed to be a rental home in the pack!
I see some furniture that was straight up recolored using the exact same mesh. This build/buy alone is lazy, uninspired, and redundant... much like the sims' team leadership - remember, art is inspired by real life - if you're lazy, uninspired, and redundant, then your "art" will be as well.
You are definitely too optimistic, Pix. I think a ton of these things are gonna be skins in furniture, not actually new things. We already have Closet Woo-hoo, it's just a re-skin. Plus people have been crying out for the Heart Bed since base game.
The only thing that looks genuinely 'new' gameplay wise is the Social dating thing, and really, it doesn't look THAT great. Only useful for story-telling. It sounds like one new job is the Romance Consultant. The world is even smaller than they said it would be. What's so fascinatingly new about feeding each other strawberries, and how badly will it be bugged to get two people in the same room at the same time?
I wonder what Wicked Whims will do when presented with this pack?
would’ve preferred fairies over this or a royalty EP since they gave us that castle build kit. Everything just looks so lackluster especially the world
Rent a room alone makes me want to buy the pack. I’m desperate for hotels. Just give me a new hotel venue typee!
It's going to be like the Journey to Batuu rabbit hole ones.
It’s a sales only pack that’s the MO for all Sims packs post My Wedding Stories tbh.
There's only one new WooHoo spot, right? We got a closet in Get Together and the bed this time just vibrates. The blanket is the only *new* place.
Even though it feels like a game pack and it doesn't appear very impressive, it's giving MEGA SIMS 1 VIBES! :D
So many details, the costume suitcase, the love bed and even some tiles and such seem to be from Sims 1.
I wouldn't expect the mirror just has a couple swatches with premade photos on it. I'm also expecting the costumes dance to be of the sim rapidly switching between costumes as in the video.
I'm guessing the hotel is a rabbit hole you can sleep or woohoo in (hopefully by paying money, hotels aren't free) like a love hotel. Bc otherwise they would have made a bigger deal, hotels are really complicated to put together and I'm sure when we do get it you'll be able to create your own. Still nice, though I wish we had world edit so we could put them into other worlds
@salagadulaemme They need to do it if we're ever going to get cars bc there's so many houses with no road access. It drives me nuts, there's CC and even stuff in the game that would be great to have more than one place (like movie theaters) but you can't change anything outside of the lots. Heck, I even get that bug where an object gets stuck right outside of the lot and then you can't delete it. The good thing about the 'love hotel' is it will make it easier for filthy cheater Sims especially since we can now go to a second location on dates. Or is that bad news?
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think they need to stop with the new worlds for each and every pack. We have more than enough worlds now, what we need is more activities, things to do, and venues that we can place in the worlds we have. The chunk of budget it takes to make a new world would be better spent on more substantial features, in my opinion. I'm not saying no more new worlds ever, but I don't think a new world needs to come with every EP or GP.
The worlds usually suck in quality.
Why is everyone acting like we dont have woohoo in a closet? Get together (or city living?) has that
1:55 the pool looks circular on the roof
The right side is curved/rounded, the other three sides are straight.
I’m not sure why we can’t get round pools like they don’t exist but it’s partial which brings hope 😂
I'm honestly sad the world isn't based on Paris. You know, the city of love?
Edit: I honestly don't care about why it's romanticized, or how much it deserves to be. I just want a Paris world, is that so wrong? 😭
It looks based off of Mexico or Spain. Which I feel is more romantic than Paris. Idk why Paris was deemed as the city of love it's just romantasized.
Paris is dirty and full of pickpockets haha it’s overhyped being the city of love.
If we're talking about rats and vermin pack, sure
@@HarunaSakura97it’s Mexican based and I am excited
Paris has a history of being very romantic because of the artists that loved there. So yes, it’s romanticised. ❤
I think the 3 woohoo "spots" are; 1) the heart bed, if you look closer, you can see that it is kinda vibrating, 2) The blanket and 3) The closet/room? But I'm disappointed that those are all recycled animations, the bed woohoo is the regular bed woohoo animation, the blanket is recycled from coffin woohoo and closet/room is the same as get together pack's closet woohoo. Nothing special and kinda lazy, I was expecting new animations since they are selling it as an EP.
I’m guessing two penthouses and then just houses? Wouldn’t really call it a city world can’t wait to see the map!
im happy they didnt spill everything in the trailer cause when they do that usually means the pack isnt gonna have much but when they dont show everything that usually means the pack will be surpassingly good like when eco lifestyle was announced. at first i was like wtf. but in reality its one of the most in depth expansion packs we have.
This is the second release I will not be buying in my continued boycott
Same!
The trailer doesn’t show much at all so I am hoping they left a lot out due to the leaks (wishful thinking) I’m going to purchase the pack anyway because I see tons of CAS and build buy that caught my eye 😅
I think the sims are running out of features. Date ideas like ice cream, arcades, bowling would have been great for this pack but they’ve already been done so they’re just giving us “concepts” at this point 😭
The date planning sounds nice & I like the new dynamics and romantic boundaries. I like the traits as well, but omg with all these new traits that come with new packs why are we still limited to 3 slots?! They need to expand to 5 trait slots at least! This is ridiculous. You can’t fully immerse your sim in all the worlds and packs and gameplay because you barely have room to build them up with pack specific and base game traits
Okay… but Dear EA, we fans need a MUSIC expansion pack - a fully fleshed-out career for singers, bands, instrumentalists (drums, harp, flute, trumpet etc.), concerts, music competitions, because we want to create our own musical idols! Could we please get the ability to create different stages for musicians, concert tours? This was in The Sims 3... I won't even mention cars... If you also want a music expansion pack, please write about it in the EA survey and in the comments below.
Honestly, we fans just want a game worth our time and money.
I feel like the rating for who plays the sims goes up with this trailer, but I feel like this should have been in the base game itself or in some of the other game packs or expansion packs.
Honestly same, and I love this game.
First! This pack looks cool, but we know it’ll be glitchy!
Idk, it just seems to not really have anything in it besides new costumes and animations. I like the dating app but that also seems kind of bland. I like the idea, but is it worth 40$?
Yea Matt the reveal trailer showed no gameplay to expand on the game which I’m very underwhelmed for this pack 😫
I wonder if sims can become more fragmented, I feel like this would have been a hotdate expansion pack with nightlife , dates , restaurants , bowling nights, arcades , cinemas, yea even parking lots and yes cars , hottubs, blind dates, hotels.
But I guess you can not have that when they upsell all these common themed features in 10 different packs
here are all of the things i saw in the trailor and blog about the expansion
1. dating app
2. better dates
3. new rug, closet and ??? woohoo
4. attraction
5. more dynamics
6. romantic satisfaction
7. new skill
8. new career
9. new world
10. new lot trait
11. new build
12. new cas
13. new interactions
14. new dances
15. two(?) new traits
16. new apartments/penthouses
17. new rolaplay
18. new death type
19. new games
20. room renting/HOTELS(???)
21. new aspirations
22. new fears
23. counseling!
Love that you do the readings of their information! Helps with getting a deeper analysis.
This is such a disappointment. Cupid's Corner is just Social Bunny revamped, Create a Date is just the wedding planning system where you choose when where and activities, we already have likes and dislikes of different personality types so that's not new, basically everything is just recycled stuff from other packs. Nothing here is even worthy of being a game pack, much less an expansion pack.
The world is like City Living and Tamarang put together. I also noticed that they used a lot of the deco from those worlds in this world. I still feel its not enough for 40$ and I also feel it will become a has been pack, one that will fade away over time. All I see is the modders making this pack way better than EA short comings, per usual.
butterflies (fairies?) everywhere
fountain: 3:04
bench and hair acessories: 3:05
earrings: 3:15
Nah this pack just has a butterfly theme with Plaza Mariposa.
100 baby challenges going to get more spicy. lol
A dating app is definitely something thats just a side thing on an expansion pack. EA is wildin.
I just wish there was more to it like turn on's and turn off's, like maybe i want my sim to have like Vlady daddy people or gets turned off by like prepy people, like someting more. It's just very empty
Sims 2 style likes and dislikes would be cool!! Or like the scope room feature from night life
Finally an expansion pack that seems fun enough for me to buy 😅 But definitely only when the price drops, I could never justify to spend 40 dollars on a single expansion.
Cuddles and dating app isn’t worth 40 . Everything else you could already do in game .. they could have made like more dating spots like a romantic carriage ride since we got horses or a magic date .
Have the gurus being gassing this pack on social media?? I feel like when they’re really proud of a pack they tease it and hype it up on their Twitter accounts. Then when a pack is mediocre at best they’re pretty quiet lol
Everyone was already aware of the upcoming EP, teased for a month, then announced for a month later? I hope it’s not broken
There is a new death: Death by Heartbreak. The Sim who died in the bar of heartbreak at 4:50 showed it. You even mentioned it lol
I hope teens can do some of this stuff, also we need better options for the dating profiles, how come there isn’t any physical attractions?
As always, EA's credo for new content is reduce, reuse, recycle.
Wicked whims already has a pretty good attraction and personality system that ik will conflict with whatever lackluster version EA is going to put out
But did anyone else notice the ROUND pool on the penthouse???
Whattttttttttttttt 😮😮
Yes, I'm so excited for round pools!
Are they putting round pools behind a pay wall? I hope it comes in the free update.
20:54 So happy to see some non-monogamy/polyamory representation! 🥰 I also always wanted a more in depth system for how jealous sims are.
I feel like this was a very lazy attempt for a trailer. Really hoping there’s more than meets the eye. When I read the leak though I was excited
Are we getting a gameplay trailer, too, or even a deep dive? I really hope so
I'm definitely interested in finding out more about the "rent a room" thing.
I was ok with this EP... IF, ONLY IF, it would come with a physical attraction system... it wont, so it will be very weird to see my sims being ''turned-on'' byt sims they dont like the body... thats it for me, they ruined it and made it blend and not exciting... im not buying this SHIT.
Yeah they've mentioned hair but not so much the other physical stuff yet
is it just me or does wonderful whims + simda dating do it better?
Honestly I feel like I'm the only one, but I'm always happy and exciting about every new sims pack 😂! But I enjoy the critical view
you're one of the few remaining. honestly i wish i would have something to be excited about but it's the sims 4 so..
I hope it works!!!!😅 I usually purchase on release day but I am nervous for this one
@@meh9677haha I feel the same . And I do watch all the critical videos but still I'm always excited for the new stuff 😅
I'm excited to finally get the systems like attraction and the app still looks better than the options we have right now from mods (at least it's easier to see what people look like), though I really wish we could see some of the other sims' likes and dislikes. At least for activities, that's pretty common. But I'm glad there's a way to scan the room for people you're attracted to, that's so helpful for trying to find potential dates for your sim in a random bar
I feel like we already have these features, or these are just a "blankets" over existing ones. The dating app lacks depth and is just like social bunny. We have parks, food vendors, penthouses, kissing, picnics, even the traits are similar to traits like loyal, fliry or jealous. You know? I'm underwhelmed but not disappointed. I expected this and that sucks.
Everyone is jumping on the jealousy settings as Polyamory but I would just be happy for my young Sims to date around without it being super serious. So often sims meet and wanna move in and get married within a week. I play on long lifespan for a reason I’d like my college kids to be able to party and have casual not-a-relationship hook ups. So jealousy filters will certainly help with that. As a poly serious relationship is still a commitment specific to people who have agreed to be in a relationship. Its just a relationship of more than 2. na what I am looking forward to in the jealousy settings is it being allowed to not be serious, poly or not. What they also need is evolving filters. My college sims may be all about the party life, but when they do get married and get serious (again, poly or not) I want the ability to make it serious and committed for the committed parties involved.
There was a woohoo card game
Love it
it’s releasing 5 days from my birthday 🥺🙏
polyamory is a p. cool b day present
I don't see physical turn ons/offs so that sucks
Her dancing 💃🏽 😂
They should’ve included occupation/salary as a listing on the dating app, some of our sims are looking for a guy in finance…
The third woohoo spot is the rabbit hole Batuu hotel. This would be an amazing game pack!
From what I can see, it looks to be comparable to My Wedding Stories gameplay wise, but with more recycled content. Hopefully since it's recycled it won't bug out as bad....I won't be buying it full price. I haven't bought anything full price since Cottage Living. They're probably underfilling the packs to compensate for this if I'm typical. Maybe there's a lot of Build and Buy, but I don't really need more stuff unless it's unique, like a porch swing, etc.
Im curious if you can marry more than one sim at a time
I mostly want to point out that while they list both cuddling and sharing food as pack features they are both already in the game. You can already cuddle on sofas or in bed and if you have Dine Out (not sure if you can without it), you can share food with interactions like "Feed Bite" and the one that lets your sims playfully steal a bite from their date. This is not looking good to me.
Did you catch that is says "With Penthouse Suit"? Take note that it was singular. I bet it's already owned by the NPC they show in the trailer too. I really need to see more before I can call this anything more than a Game Pack and I certainly won't be paying more than a game pack price at any point unless I feel it's actually worth more.
I'm buying it for the world and I am exicted-ish but what would've made this better, for me, would've been a new interactive date activity [like a couple's dance class, ax throwing, mini-golf, etc].
that is so sad
Can we all just aknowledge that game packs are dead and the new expansions are kind of an in-between. It's such a shame too, they were my favourite dlc type. Last one we saw was Werewolves (so good!) and that was two whole years ago!
So we only get an additional 2 woohoo spots and this supposed to be a love expansion pack?? Why couldn't Life by You still be in the running?? I am sooo disappointed and kinda pissed too
Blankets being set for picnics means we can actually have picnics now?? I've always wanted to do that with my sims.
Picnics and picnic baskets came with cottage living
@@ellieward537 yes and _should_ have come with a blanket and animations or gameplay but really was just an item to carry inventory. I was so disappointed by the picnic basket in Cottage Living. . . that said it being included in this pack is just insulting because of that and it isn't enough to convince me that this pack is value for money either! I have a bad feeling it will not be cross pack compatible.
Literally all these features can be done by wonderful/wicked whims.... so like... no point in this expansion pack. AT MOST it should be priced as a game pack. I refuse to purchase this.
I’m not gonna lie, Cupid’s corner is sooooo underwhelming ugh 😩 they could’ve atleast added more preferences. I know Modders are gonna have a field day with this one. Most definitely giving GAME PACK
