Yeah and it's arguably easy to improve at least a little - make open neighborhoods and more out of lot activities and bam!

I find people who really love Sims 3 more than them all often argue this and as a bigger Sims 2 fan then Sims 3 fan (both are better than 4 tho) I disagree. Yeah, Sims 2 was built on rotational play and closed lots (and the biggest thing I would love on a Sims 2 imaginary refresh that will never happen is open micro areas of neighborhood so you could walk to a neighbors house or you could see their family across the way). But you really only need (firstly) anything you do to affect the full map and (secondly) areas of open neighborhood that feel alive with consequences impacted by your decisions. Sims 4 ALREADY has massive lag problems with a closed lot system. A massive open world on top of them would probably render the game unplayable the way it is coded now.

​@@ibcekuno kidding! open neighborhoods would be a huge hit for the sims 4 rather than a phoney pack i hate going to johnny zest house just to try to go back int my house, get the front door and wait a loading screen or go to the gym and then leave to go right next door to face another loading screen just to have nothing to do besides have a moodlet, moodlets bring more personality to the sims rather than their own traits smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

​​@@v3x1ng_c0rpesYES, that's what's annoying. If something is halfway across the map, fine...loading screen me there . But If it's a building LITERALLY next door on the map why do I have to teleport? (Loading screen)...I also hate the teleporting travel in general. Sims 2 was a closed world but it worked, cars worked, because they had function in the world. Service people arrived in cars, you 'drove' off screen in a car (or bus or taxi or shuttle to your plane for vacation). I didn't need to 'see' every moment of a driving car to feel like my Sims actually drove, got a ride, or even walked somewhere because I couldn't just go to a world map and teleport them to the next location. And the loading screens also weren't the same spinning plumbob. Yeah, it was just a static image of your car or plane or taxi or whatever...but at least it was representative of real transportation in action. The spinning plumbob with game tips just reminds me I am playing a game.

@@TheDawnofVanlife smh when I first started playing the sims, I started with the sims 3 console game, it had open neighborhoods! beautiful world, a bunch of good houses, townies KNEW EACH OTHER, either ex boyfriend/ex girlfriend, it wasn't gen z at all, couples would lay in the bed and kiss each other, wasn't afraid to be bold, it had a a huge Park with schools and dine outs and a city hall area, a huge park, it had a police station, like if the sims 4 had that it would be beautiful it would also be fun to see what other sims in the area is doing when your not there lolll I used to watch other sims in the sims 3 just to see nps doing basic everyday stuff, in the sims 3 it was even a little piece of detail when sims would peek through your window !! it's creepy yes, but gives so much more to the game. the sims 4....I don't know what happened now its filled with child friendly nonsense, gen z nonsense and...loading screens 24/7, the oasis springs would be so fun with open neighborhoods..

If you can use mods, I highly recommend T.O.O.L for the balconies, I always use it! ^^

You can put loads of things on the balcony while in livemode. Try a grill, sunbed, sleepingbag or guitar. I put my cat's litterbox and foodbowl on the balcony.

Its funny about the balcony because when the pack first came out you actually could build on the balcony and then they removed it

@@SimplyBuildsYT Yeap. It’s on brand for them.

its actually so sad . i remember being totally confused abt it@@anahenriques.

The answer is all, dlcunlocker, scam ea back

​@@Normiel it is always morally correct to pirate sims 4 🩷🎀✨️

Have you seen Plumbella's attempt at ruining the world? It was like watching someone spiral into insanity 😭

Yeah!! You can have a lil flower farm or something with beehives and a farm stand for honey and beeswax candles it’s so sweet

And Britechester came with huge dormitories for 8 students in luxury. It would have made sense to have crappy tight apartments there with leaky pipes, like the one I lived in (with 3 other students) when I was in university. The apartments in Eco change the positions of the windows when the town gets voted to change. My curtains were midwall all of a sudden, and my desk with a view was looking at a wall.

I would want to say Eco-Lifestyle is based on Haiti actually. Then Snowy Escape is based in Scandinavian countries such as Iceland 🇮🇸 not Japan in my opinion. Many Scandinavian countries in Northern Europe are very cold in it’s temperature and the climate weathering is so much icicles and snow sheets. 🥶❄️☃️

​@MariamArt_ i respect your opinion but it's DEFINITLY based in Japan and japanese minimalism, it's not an opinion matter tbh

⁠@@MariamArt_ Snowy Escape is very clearly based on Japanese Architecture & Climate. The CAS has clothing such as Kimonos & The B&B is filled with things such as tatami mats, shōji screens & much more. Japan also has some of the most annual snowfall in the world as well, so it being snowy makes complete sense. Regardless, I respect your opinion.

It might be 'GeekCon'. So understandable, but true 😄😄

That's kind of hilarious honestly

Yes! My favorites are 1- Island Living, 2- Eco Lifestyle, and 3- City Living. I've decided to turn off the NAP system, though because literally every neighborhood in my save would end up with Sharing Is Caring and very quickly all the items in all my community lots would be stripped bare, and all my played sims houses and apartments would find their computers have gone missing after the welcome wagon 😂 But i do love it otherwise lol

I never knew this, does it unlock as u get higher in the career?

@@savannahonetsy yes, I think you need to design them on the engineer tablet thing first and then you can make it

Thanks, I always play with this pack as it’s my fave but have never messed around fully with the career

I'm so happy with the option for active households being the only ones able to vote. I love to stir up some things, have a draught law in the desert area, taking the water away for a few hours a day makes sense. But communitylots breaking down because of missing essential items is really a huge flaw.

Same here 😅

My fav pack too! i think it's brilliant, for gameplay, especially with the dumpster and smog vacuum, and then build your house only with recycled items

My fav pack too. I love the Marketplace. It's very underrated. I never know what I'm going to find there. Always a surprise what people will sell and from what pack.

@@HippoHannahMINE TOO AND EVERYONE HATES ON IT!

eco lifestyle fans rise up!

literally my favorite.

The only thing to be grateful is the bees wax candle has some functionality, unlike all the other objects for the Sims 4 😐🙄. The Sims 2, even for a game that is almost 20 years old, has more functionality and some very nice features. Unlike its Sims 4 counterpart. Smh. 🙄

Yea i hate most of the mens options of clothes so much😭

Yes!! Those packs together are so fun
