I think Murphy Beds would've made _way_ more sense in City Living.

I completely agree, why didn't they have ladders, spiral staircases, bunkbeds, etc in this pack, it doesn't make sense not to. I hope they add it in in a free update patch.

most of us live in very tiny apartments, we play the sims to build gigantic houses we can't afford lol

Bunk beds, loft beds, and ladders could've made this pack worth. But they gave us one type of "new gameplay" object that is pretty cumbersome to use and takes up a huge chunk of space for a tiny home. Guess we'll be waiting for them to be included in "Bunk Bed Living" or "My First Ladder" stuff pack :/. And an amazing review as always, Clint!

This seems more like leftover University stuff than tiny home stuff.

Sims 4 content is just lazy at this point, they glanced at the aesthetic of tiny houses without understanding any of the actual functionality of them. But I guess it’s a lot to expect value for our money...

Sims 4 is like an abusive relationship tbh

I hope that one day they will release a random pack called "Things you all wanted" and give us all the useful stuff we want with the description saying "That's it, we give up. We can't think of more poorly designed unuseful stuff so we're just going to give you what you want."

Ironic that this pack is about doing more with less while the sims 4 sales gives you less for more

"Maybe they'll balance it out with a mansion pack later on." So basically, you're rewarded for living tiny or living huge, and punished for being middle class. yep that's realistic

I feel like this pack was just an excuse for them to add the Murphy bed that everyone wanted in University. Like you said, they could've done so much better with bunk beds, spiral stairs and ladders, they're the things I think of when it comes to tiny living, not Murphy beds.

LGR just showed us how Tiny Living was the My First Pet of Eco Living. Everything that he points out is missing here is in Eco Living. COINCIDENCE MUCH?

In the Tiny living live stream, they said bunk beds were "too expensive for the budget" which is why they weren't added. 🙄 right... yet modders can make them just fine, not to mention they had them in sims 3. They really missed the opportunity for lofts and ladders and actual compact and sensible beds.

"Here spend $10 to get an item in the game that can kill your sim and take up too much space which makes playing annoying"

I just love how that sim died and his mood was still shown as "happy".

This pack really proves they’re catering to youtubers instead of customers

plumbella pointed out the fact that a claustrophobic trait would’ve been great here and i haven’t been the same since. ea dropped the ball but are we really surprised?

I absolutely expected bunk beds in this pack. They always seems to assemble these packs in odd non-sensible ways IMO! 🤔

Well now I understand the Sims 3 patch note of "the Murphy bed has been made less lethal"

LGR: "Why doesn't the Sims team put in-" Sims 4 Devs: "But that's haaaaard :(" Hmmm last time I checked people typically are supposed to put in an EFFORT to make their money- oops, I mean, OUR money.

Are you telling me EA half-assed a Sims stuff pack? I'm shocked.

And murphy beds are killing Sims eh... talk about MURPHY'S Law being in action lol

Wasn't the game already way too easy? These perks make it even easier now. We shouldn't have to mod every little thing.

I remember a few years ago my friend and I were messing around on the Sims 3 and build tiny houses using all of the stuff that was there from all the packs. Ladders, a loft in the roof part of the house, the bunk beds/the loft beds that could fit a dresser underneath, and even the all in one bathroom from the Island Living expansion. It was so much easier than what this looks like, AND THAT WAS IN THE SIMS 3! Honestly... Sims 4 team are NEVER going to be on the same level as Sims 2 or 3 and they really should just start copying the other games.

The only good thing about these packs are your reviews. I prefer getting a good laugh from you over giving EA my money.

"Sims 4 Livin' Large." Now that would be a trip. But I'm still waiting for Sims 4: Homeless Living.

Man I Just realised that I watch your Sims Reviews since 2011. I was 11 back then, now I am 20. So much has changed since then, but your Videos were always a constant in my life lol But seriously I love your content😌☺️

It wouldn't be so frustrating if there weren't spiral staircases and ladders in expansions for *The Sims 1*

I love tiny builds but this pack doesn't address all the challenges that the base game presents. Besides, like you said, it won't even scratch the surface of actual space saving things

See, I prefer a giant house that I can wonder through alone in the middle of the night in my night robes and a candelabra.

The fantasy 20 years ago: party mansion! The fantasy now: maybe you can have a fancy shed?

Totally agree with the comments. Pack should have included: -bunk beds -ladders -spiral staircases -pull out sofa beds -ottoman beds with storage beneath bed -compact functional storage solutions i.e. under beds/under stairs etc -half size breakfast bars and smaller stools -compact multi functional kitchen items ie half size hob/build in oven and dual microwave/ under counter fridge Interesting pack but it could have been better

The Sims 4 has lost its charm long ago, and I can't understand why all these famous simmers on youtube get so excited every time there's a new stupid game pack or stuff pack. I guess it's their job, but they are not believable anymore. LGR is the only one who's always honest in his reviews, even if he just ends up trashing the game.

It is baffling how many missed opportunities this pack has. Spiral staircases, bunk beds, ladders... heck why not the all in one bathroom??

"So the less you do with doing more, the more you're rewarded for doing more with less!" - Really nice line, Clint. Had to pop subtitles on to make sure my ears hadn't scrambled the message. Also, really awesome to be reminded you upload subtitles for your vids. While I doubt YT would have trouble generating subtitles with your clear manner of speech, it's great that you take the time to do so.

And they saved all those great environmentally-friendly ideas you posited for the newe$t pack that came out yesterday. Looking forward to the LGR review before I even consider buying.

So rather than making neighborhoods and lots larger, EA just makes houses smaller.

If you use the "polite introduction" on a stranger while having your micro homes lot active, you max out the relationship instantly. And I don't know how I feel about that.

You know, a lot of games release content patches and _don't_ charge for them. Just sayin' like.

That tv/bookcase/radio was my primary selling point for Tiny Living. I wasn't sure about it until one of the sim gurus mentioned it on Twitter. I honestly think that could be useful even in regular houses. Because I don't like to use money cheats unless I absolutely have to and my sims always have to budget ✌️

A wise man once said.."Good grief what the ballss"...let that sink in

i think you just gave EA a decent idea. could even name it "Honey i shrunk the sims"

It's fitting that Duke would simply stand next to the burning lamp whilst everyone else is freaking out.

omg the "honey i shrunk the kids" reference at the beginning haha!! god, that was my favorite ever movie as a child lol

I would've loved the ability to own mobile homes or RVs, or be able to live in a van or bus (which has been trending a bit), and they could've added cars as a follow up patch. Trailer parks could be fun too, working like apartments in city living (changing the lot type of certain sized lots to mobile home park, with customization like in this pack), with a more expansive off the grid system that island paradise missed out on. Adding onto this: Townhouses, like apartments but with backyards and such. Dont vibe for the city life of city living, personally, but a string of connected homes rather than having separate lots with neighbors would be nice. Actual grocery stores and supermarkets, malls like the one in Sims Freeplay. Speaking of Sims freeplay, the arcade and carnival and ski resort were fun too. Being able to rent or own a mini apartment above a business... without mods, haha. Cul de Sacs (?), the ability to live rogue (hotels, motels, skipping traintracks because every day is a beautified runaway), multi-generational family homes (having different multiple npc families living like how roommates do in your home... Forrest Gump vibes ♡) and customizable, functional tree houses that act like a mini separate lot for kids/teens to hang out in along with blanket forts (indoor and outdoor) and toddler playhouses would just be as nice too. Actual orphanages, daycares and schools. They have a high school in the Sims freeplay, non rabbit hole, that'd I personally like in Sims 4. As much as I want open worlds, I want customizable world's. 50x50 lots to be downsized at will to, say, smaller 20x20 lots or the ability to remodel the world like in Sims 3. Searching up sims4 fanmade maps, I'd be wonderstricken if we'd actually be able to download and they would work in game. Sigh, I can only hope...

"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong one out of three times" -Murphy bed

Honestly I'm just waiting for you to review Sims 4 Eco Living because you're the only one I trust to tell me if it's worth it....

I don't even care about The Sims but I love watching these videos.

At this point there are no passion from the developers of Sims 4

It’s so annoying that the Murphy bed can kill you pretty easily. It should be more like 1 in 10,000. Plus each Murphy bed has artwork that you can’t change or remove. Also, ladders, sliding doors, bunk beds and toilet/sink combos would have made way more sense than a Murphy bed. EDIT: someone has made a toilet/sink combo on Mod the Sims! It’s on the first or second page of sims 4 stuff as of writing this comment.

I really appreciate UKpostsrs who add propper subtitles to their videos ❤❤

Don’t get me wrong I’ve been a sims fan for so long but the reality is that the creators got really lazy and don’t take the time to add more details like they did in the previous sims games, it’s been so disappointing. Wait til paralives comes out then they’ll have real competition.

me: doesnt play sims 4 also me: LGR review of sims 4? YES PLEASE!

When you started listing all the stuff it doesn’t have. 😂

Little did LGR know, bunk beds would be added a year later

"Death by murphy bed seems a bit silly" But LGR, Sims have been dying to Murphy Beds since The Sims 2

LGR: *angrily sets lamp on fire möth: **heavy breathing*

You’re literally the only honest review I’ve seen. Everyone else was all I lOvE tHiS pAcK 🤪🙄

It seems like tiny houses are only cool when they're on a giant beautiful lot out in the country. In the city, they're just dreadfully small apartments. ... but if you have a giant beautiful lot out in the country, why not build a normal size house? I don't get it.

Too much Murphy's Law seems to have been programmed into the Murphy Beds.

wow 6 years - and still it all looks underwhelming. And when the next full iteraiton of sims comes along it will start from scratch again.

Got to say, having played it for a bit, this pack is very overpowered. It makes everything VERY easy. Meet someone new? Say hello then take some photos with them and your relationship will literally be full. Want to learn a new skill? The bar will fill up so quickly you’ll be L10 before you know it! Want to grow some plants? They’ll grow and evolve so quickly you’ll have a perfect garden in a couple of seasons! It really reduces the amount of gameplay, as it makes everything so easy to achieve. Not the best.

The Murphy bed should be reworked. On it's own, it shouldn't fail to open, but, Sims that enjoy tinkering could rig them so they can be used to take out unwanted Sims :D

Thanks once again for a great review! You always manage to articulate my own feelings about the Sims 4 and all the packs. Spot on review. Love your videos, LGR!

The video leading up to this made it so funny when you first showed the starting home with NO explanation as to the burnt living room with an urn! 🤣

Just FYI, the graphic you’ve used meaning ‘smaller than’ 37m2 is actually the one for ‘greater than’. Smaller than is the other way round (in that context) so

your sims pack reviews are so entertaining and brutally honest, love it!

Thank you for putting subtitles to all your vids 💕

So true! There were a ton of actually useful items they should have included instead of a few regular items that only have a different style to them.

EA: We need new ideas for the Tiny Living pack Guy 1: 3x2 murphy beds Guy2: baby Yoda! Guy3: ladders, bunk beds or better lofts? * Thrown out *

Man, I just listened to your video from 10 years ago... Your voice changed SO MUCH! Wonderful change never cease to surprise me :D

I loved this review, the items you listed are so spot-on for tiny living as a lifestyle but are lacking in the game obviously. Great review! and always such a good laugh :D

Murphy beds came with the sims 2 apartment life and the crush by Murphy bed animation was rare enough that it was exciting to see! How are they charging you for a whole stuff pack for one new item that was done better 10 years ago

I see this pack as "The Sims 4 Tiny Lifespan Stuff Pack"

Loft beds would make so much sense for this pack. You could put a desk, another bed, a chair, etc underneath. That would save much more space than murphy beds and I'd actually use those

"I like tiny living" - man is obsessed with giant old computers and has one of the biggest big box pc game collections around..

aaah... this is the review I've been waiting for, and I agree they've missed the opportunity to add spiral ladder and regular ladder for Build Option for this SP to make the purchase worth it I hope they bring it up on their next update

Hmm, The Sims pathing, collision, and animation alignment requirements + tiny spaces... What could possibly go wrong? (Is this actually less of an issue in 4 than in prior games though?)

There’s nothing like coming back to an old sims video just to say they still haven’t fixed the lamp shelf space

Ah another neat idea completely half-assed as usual. Thanks for a great and entertaining review!

"So the less you do with doing more the more you're rewarded for doing more with less" Makes sense!

That dog running past the chair shot, with the flea bouncing off... I'm so happy you kept that from the Blerb episode!

I think they missed an opportunity for really cool and ingenious furniture. My favourite thing about watching tiny home shows was seeing how people developed furniture to solve space problems, like wall modules that can have tables, couches or beds slide out and slide away. Also lofts, you hit that on the head.

I can't wait for the Sims 5: Ralph's Revenge.

I live in a tiny home!!!! I'm so hip!!! Too bad its an apartment inside an apartment building, and I rented it.

Also, @LGR, what do you think about the survey the sims team are currently doing? They’re asking players what previous packs they think need updating. I personally chose island living (because it’s a crime to call it an expansion pack, there’s no new gameplay whatsoever), University (literally nothing to do, too many rabbit holes), and the dining out pack (excellent pack in theory but too many bugs to be usable). What would you pick for improvement?

I love your sims reviews, I hope you never stop making them ♡♡

I’ve been checking everyday to see if you had your review up!! Since I seriously love your reviews! 😊

I agree with you about the loft options! Lofts are a common sight in tiny homes!

I'm still out here waiting for the 'cities skylines' of the sims. I just want a good sims game to play again

I am excited to see your review on the new Eco Lifestyle!

Great review as always. Do you ever think about making Sims 4 DLCs ranking video? I'd love to see that since your reviews are the only reviews I watch!

>links a new LGR Plays OMG you have no idea how much i've missed your let's plays, that i quickly rushes to your linked channel. Thank you T^T

the murphy bed kinda reminds me of the guinea pig in sims 1, cute but when they bit your sims it will become ill and eventually dies so i avoided getting it lol

Been waiting on your review. In LGR we trust. 😊 Thanks for all your hard work!

Can't wait til you review eco living or whatever it's called. Should be hilarious. Love your honesty

I was cool to see the clip of the chairs with the dog walking through and some of the other clips that were shown in the LGR Blerb video! As always, great review

Still miss Sims 2 and hope they bring back that gameplay and just include basics like pets and seasons..

I love this review honest and bold 💕💕💕 still watching since sims 3

Dude. I've been patiently waiting for your review on this. Thank you.
