The gnome immediately getting hit by a car was great entertainment

Why release a $40 expansion pack with vampires, witches, werewolves, fairies, etc. When you can charge $20 for each.

I like the idea of having magical parents and a kid who just likes playing video games and is an accountant

4:28 *You walk into a witch's hut in the middle of a dark, eerie swamp. In the center of the room, the witch is stirring a giant cauldron of thick, bubbling reddish-brown liquid.* "What kind of potion is that?" "It's chili con carne. Want some?"

"And no you cannot have romantic relationships with your sim duplicates" lol did you read my mind?

The garden gnome getting run over made me spit out my coffee.

"No new hats of the witch or wizard verity" I sense stuff pack bait here

I don’t understand why the sims4 doesn’t have the option the sims3 did, to disable non-human sims per save file if you want realism sometimes.

The car after the gnome transformation is hilariously well-timed

I do love this pack, but EA needs a competitor when it comes to the sims.

The Magic Realm manor looked like it had been designed by an 8 year old, a big room with a table, another big room with a chair, a big room with a pot. I turned on a cheat and completely revamped the entire manor into some crazy Harry Potter castle.

me I don't play sims 4 also me Im gonna watch this review for it's 39th expansion

Never have I clicked so fast on a video on the sims. I think it’s ridiculous that there is nothing for children

So they made this a game pack but Island Living an expansion pack.🤔

He protec He attac But most importantly, He tell's you how much chairs there are in the pack!!

They've been lazy with sims 4 entirely. This neighborhood, the vampire one, and get to work only has like 4 lots? and we can't even create our own lots? wtf

LGR sounds so done with this.

08:05 Did not expect to burst out laughing during this video but I couldn't help it.

Remember when "expansion packs" came out like once a year and had a ton of stuff on it?... Pepperidge Farm's remembers I miss the simplicity of The Sims 1 and The Sims 2, and their respective expansions.

30th pack?? To get the “full experience” people may very well drop half a grand on this game. And no one outside of the community is talk about how ridiculous this game is.

I love that the Duke twins said "WEEEEEEEBS" when taking a selfie.

I wish you'd brought up how poor the EA houses were this time around

Isn't it crazy this pack's spellcasters have ONLY 24 spells and The Sims 3 Supernatural's witches have 20 spells, even though they had to share space with 3 other life states? Don't let the RPG-like skill tree fool you. You're getting LESS content for your money this time. ETA: Also, only 15 potions? TS3 Supernatural has over 40!!!

I dunno, it seems like everything is implemented worse and they didn't really do anything to make up for it. Raise your own dragons with unique features=Familiars that do nothing Entirely new location that's like a weird carnival with things you can only do there=A couple set dressing shops to buy garbage Duels where you get to actually play and use the right spells to win=Watching the same animation 1000 times and winning by chance Potions to change sims into different creatures, turn them to gold, improve work performance, etc=Potions that change mood and relationship It just goes on and on like this. What does it offer that's actually interesting and a good replacement for things we had before? It's very uninspired and the bare minimum in terms of gameplay.

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER itty bitty livin' space - Robin Williams' Genie

I think the biggest problem with the sims series now is people still forgive it, people are waiting for ts5, why wait? They won't change it if they know people will buy it regardless. I've pretty much given up on buying anymore & ive been here since sims 1

it's scary how many expansions there are now, almost makes buying the game at this point unappealing and very expensive

I hate this game so much, but simultaneously love these reviews to death.

only interested in this new pack if there’s new chairs 😩

No romantic relation with your clone? Divyat Fyr left the chat

I literally subbed when you said: “it holds a hidden secret that isn’t hidden or secret at all; a huge magical portal sticking out like a sore thumb on the top of this waterfall!! 😂😭😂😂😭😂😭😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾

I find it surprising you're so positive about this pack. I find it awfully boring.. Everything is too damn easy, and the spells are pretty lame. Figured I'd start a potion shop. Guess what? They sell for 0 simoleons. 😑

Yay been dying to see your review! And holy crap, 30th pack...damn, the milk is real.

For anyone that's having the problem that all the pudding's ( townies, premades, whatever your nickname for the sims ea made lol) instantly pop into the magical realm and poof themselves into casters, there are one or two mods/patch fixes at mod the sims. Extra useful if you want only your selected sims to become magic users.

The best thing to come from this pack was Morgyn Ember. Literally one of the coolest townies in the game

"I don't have time to play with myself" I love the consistent Nukem references over the years

I’m so glad you revived Ralph as a Sim

Got turned into a gnome and then hit by a truck 😂😂😂

There are some real issues with this pack though - "new counters" (a reskin) but no matching cabinets. Townie Sims randomly becoming spellcasters and breaking people's games by summing multiple duplicates into existence. Doors and windows that don't suit the different wall heights. Curtains that match some windows but no others. And in the Glimmerbrook world a house with steps at the back, that don't lead to a back door. There's some definite quality control issues.

This seems to hit the same spot that Vampires did for me. Namely, some content seems tempting, but two things keep me from actually wanting it. One, while it does add fleshed-out spellcasters, it doesn't seem to add much... else. The magical world is woefully underwhelming, clothing options lacking (Seriously? Not a single hat?), content bleeding over where it shouldn't because who can be bothered to put that much thought into a Sims 4 pack, etc. The result is basically a series of cheat codes with pretty visuals and a set means of unlocking them, much like a more elaborate version of the dragons in Dragon Valley. Yeah, they're neat and all, but it's basically just a plate with one really tasty piece of meat on it, but the rest of the meal is either not satisfying or not there at all, which only ends up being a major disservice to the experience of eating the piece of meat because you feel like you're not getting the experience you should. Two, it's still Sims 4. So while the magic powers look neat, they're still given to and used on Sims 4 sims. In Sims 4 worlds. Which hasn't been made appealing to me no matter how many patches and DLC they add. If this was provided as a Sims 3 pack, I'd probably be all over it even with most of the content being pretty lacking. There's enough bulk to the game and its other packs already that the features that ARE being offered would still be fun to play with. But I just don't see myself having fun with a pack when I don't have fun with the base game, which has kept me away from every single Sims 4 pack so far. Really, the only reason I even watch these is because LGR is fun to watch. So yeah... The pack is in a strange area where I know it wouldn't be fun to play with, but it looks like it COULD have been fun. Which makes me want something I can't have because it doesn't exist, and feel frustrated about that. It's like they managed to sell me on a product they're not even selling.

Honestly, I've been waiting for the sims 5 since the sims 4 first dropped. That's how much I'm fed up with this game.

5:47 kinda wish the magic duel is like in makin magic, where you choose one of the element provided to wins the battle. I still remembered having constantly checking my note about element to choose.

Another CAS item in this pack that I never see people mention is the new elf ears you can give your sim. I had this pack over a year before I realized that.

8:09 The terrified screaming of the child omg this pack is amazing 😂

I loved magic in the Sims, the sims 1 & 3 did it best (Sims 2 always seems so much effort) this just looks awful though & the scenery always seems so clunky and thrown in, probably a door somewhere leading right into a fence like in the other worlds. I'm surprised season wasn't split into 4 game packs...

Yay! I was waiting for you. I'm not necessarily sold on these releases, but am absolutely loving your reviews on them.

who else remembers sims 2 witches/wizards and you can go to either the light or dark realm depending on which type your sim was. it was also not its own EP, but included in city living which had other amazing things! sims 4 could never

Your review videos are a godsend when looking for honest, no bs, cut to the point information about the packs! Thank you.

Oh How I've waited for this! Lemme get my popcorn.

Hey, The Sims 3 Supernatural was very dedicated to that ideia too! There was lots to do with magic there, not only the magic creatures

Me: Mom, I want *Morgyn.* Mom: No, we have *Morgyn* at home. Morgyn at home: *2:35*

I'm so excited about this pack. I always wait until I see your review videos before committing to a new game pack, and I'll definitely get this one. Please keep doing what your're doing!

I was wondering where you went lol. I've been binging lgr like crazy and was wajting for the next video!! Awesome. I love the lgr channel!!!

You know it's a good pack when the only thing I am excited about in it's review are configurable stairs, witch aren't even a part of the pack...

Ahh, The Sims. Strip every single part from the game and leave only a "base game" husk to sell for 60 dollar. Once people realize there's nothing in the base game, you release a DLC for 20 dollars with a few parts you previously scrapped! Glorious. Now every minor idea or patch will just be a 20 dollar DLC because players are desperate for content and why not! Free cash. If anyone new seriously wants to get into a Sims game, get a previous version or even one before that, and only during a Steam -75% off sale, for the full package which will include all the 100's of DLCs, and you'll probably be able to experience the full game for a reasonable price.

Great to hear about those new chairs, that really sold me on the game

I don't play Sims games at all. But everytime LGR puts out an expansion review, I'm there everytime.

I really like your content, you do a great job.

I will admit that my guilty pleasure is watching your Sims 4 videos, albeit having never touched the game itself. Thank you for creating them!

I thoroughly look forward to all of your Sims reviews! Thanks again!

OooOoOo i have been checking back for a while for this review - I havent been able to play sims from my corrupted computer so I went out and got a new one from rewatching all your reviews haha. Thank you so much 💖💖💖

I'd love to hear our thoughts on Paralives. There's a really good chance I'll be putting sims out to pasture if/when it comes out lol

This was my most anticipated pack and I'm overwhelmed. The magic feels so isolated. Like the ONLY place people practice magic is through the portal and not out and about. Like NPC don't really react to magic and no one seems to do magic on you on their own. There is very little progression or consequence for using magic aside from curse. Potions are OP.

I’ve stopped looking through subscriptions months ago, but you’re someone I’ll always come back to check for new videos you are hilarious, stay awesome

Love your work! Hope there are many more to come :)

"...but HEY, LISTEN: it's Navi..." Nice one, Clint ;-)

Oh man! I'd love an LGR Plays of this. The level of shenanigans here for your sense of humor's pleasure seems like great entertainment. I always crack up at your Sims play style.

Seriously was waiting for your video for like decades, I bought the game but needed ur soothing voice to tell about makin magic I mean realm lol. Hope you had an awesome trip. Stay blessed dude!

The gnome getting hit by the car and the child screaming was the peak of this video overall and with this pack I’ll do whatever I can to recreate this beautiful moment.

"Free configurable stairs" Hmmm... it's almost like EA is worried about some up-and-coming competition... wonder what that could be...

Finally! I always look for your reviews before I buy the games, thank you!

Been waiting to see this review from you and was not disappointed. You're videos are hilarious!! Also appreciate the honesty.

The ONE and only review I have been waiting for!

The sims.. how to suck more money out of a stone... ;)

Thank you so much for always doing such amazing sims 4 reviews!!

Your reviews are always so helpful, thank you.

i always ALWAYS wait until your reviews come out to spend my hard earned money on new sims packs and expansion. you are the man my dude. thank you for saving me a crap ton of money 👊

I want to wish LGR and all the viewers a good day bc we've been blessed with another LGR Sims review

Yaaay! Thank you for making this video =) I always look foward to your reviews for the Sims 4

I haven't played Sims 4 in a long time. But your reviews are one of the highlights to UKposts, keep up the awesome job :)

This is my favorite Sims 4 reviews channel on UKposts.

“It’s a no from me” ~ Simon Cowell

Love your tone, it makes your sims videos worth watching everytime 😅

8:02 this part killed me, i love it when LGR does that! things like that in his old sims 3 reviews, is what got me hooked on his videos.

*I made Sabrina Spellmen and instead of using the sink, I just had her use the fire spell to clean the dishes.* xD

the sims 3 supernatural was a godsend... it was beautiful, the world, the items....

I have enjoyed every single one of your Sims reviews. Thanks for always keeping it real.

You literally gave the most comprehensive review I've seen since the pack came out. Theres things I didn't even know existed. Definitely thinking about buying

This actually looks like a really fun pack! The ability to make chili in a cauldron, cause chaos with spells and magic AND sit comfortably makes it worth the 20 bucks...just wish I could woohoo with myself 😩

Hi, I am waiting for your Sims 4 Discover University review to see if i should get the game. Thank you and hopefully you are making one.

Yes I’ve been needing your review your the best & my go to for sims buying packs💆🏾‍♂️

Never thought I'd love your videos more than I do now after you mentioned OUAT!

Sounds fun. I always loved the magic expansions in previous games.

BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS YESSS

So love this pack, thanks for the review! I just wish magic charge was something to keep filled rather than low since you can feel very much like a normal sim if you neglect spells but yeah, loads of cool things to do for evil characters!

I've been waiting for an LGR review of this pack since it was announced. Seriously, why do I physically get so excited to see your reviews of the sims game??

I can’t wait to see you run this on MS-DOS!

The random scream accompanying the gnome being hit by a car had me wheezing 😂

Okay. Video watched. First, if you read this, I love your reviews. You have an honest and detailed look at each pack, and you’ve helped me add to my sims world without spending money on useless packs. Where we differ is the magic and silly aspects; I can’t get enough magic in my sims games. This pack will be an easy must-have for me, even if it turns into nothing but chaos and sims setting everything on fire.

Was waiting for this video! So happy it's out!
