@@GoddessfrayerValkyrie every simmer already know how to cheat. Want to not struggle with a game? Don't play. Or cheat. It's the same.

Hah thanks. It's the style I've grown comfortable with, because it's closest to my real personality and reactions even whenever I have to do scripted stuff. I let myself be dorky and snarky and try to have fun.

@@CarlsSimGuides It's why we're all here, after all. Carry on! :D

Its lowkey giving me anxiety but im here for it. Especially when i see "part 1" i know its going to be good 👀

Reminds me a little of Kevin from The Office!

@@CarlsSimGuides i love it!!! let your real personality show my dude! it makes the whole video so much more fun to enjoy 🥰

😂👍

They're more tender, makes sense

They read “A Modest Proposal” then watched Sweeney Todd and decided to use them for meat pies (Alexander will be the first). Dr. Lecter loves them

*sims 2 cookable babies mod flashbacks*

@Saiyan in the Iron Mask Same. I once was trying to start my second generation and had no in world sims that wasn't my sims half-siblings or elderly.

🥳

Yes and no. As I understand it, this pack does have a kitchen set of its own, if arguably not as cute.

They learned they have to do it the other way around.. just like tiny living and eco lifestyle 🤷

Only the best for their dear fans...

Yeah lol

Ikr! 😂😂😂

Get out of my property, but leave the cake first!

The Cabbage Baby Seeds.

😳...

Whoa, let me put on my PG 13 ears before referencing this!

I had to pause and walk away I was laughing so hard.

I'm totally gonna delete any and all celebs that dare to show up in my Henford-On-Bagley. Yeet!

This cracked me up too 🤣🤣

This comment is one of the reasons I like to pop back in to comments and read things to make sure I did not miss anything important I wish your husband and you the very best on your Journeys and I am happy that my video brought some laughs into your life tell him that I am rooting for him

Aww!

modders will probably be able to turn the lama into a horse :) It won't be ridable but it's better than nothing

@@Icehypernova already done. Same dude who made the city map

giirl i’m convinced EA has trapped all the developers in a cellar and brainwashed them with torture for a week to make them believe horses aren’t real

Or fairies 🧚‍♀️

Don't give up hope. They'll probably use it for a game pack in the future. You know EA, why make us pay once when they can make us pay twice? 🤡

I love story of seasons

Is story of seasons harvest moon? Had no idea they changed the name lol

@@caramelllllllll harvest moon's original developer is story of season's. They are marketed as harvest moon internationally by a different company. Because of some issues (that i forgot), the developers changed name into story of season for their games while the publisher retained the name harvest moon (that's why their games are awful)

@@zakiysaputra6733 the publishes that dealt with the game in the west still retains the rights to the name of the game here, so they can make a harvest moon game cause they own the name here, so they can use this to publish shitty games while relying on the name so that it sells. The actual producer of the old games had to change the name of the series to Story of Seasons in the west.

Sigh why cant we just build set up an Automated System where they will get their throat slit at age 2 like real Industrial Farms do and simply dont care that were abusing an individual🤔

Yeah James Turner did more of a full lets play and he showed that the gathering quests really didn't work well because of the stupid "you have to be on the lot at 6am" that has borked all wild plants. The bunnies are cute though

It's a teen rated game why is that something you want in the game plus why have that at all? Doing it yourself is more entertaining

@Sarah Cuomo Lol wtf is wrong with you See I can do that too :P

Does anyone know if there's a tie-in with the Eco pack to use "organic fertilizer" in the garden?

Me too. I can't wait to try the rags to riches challenge with it 😁

The furniture is so adorable too ;-;

Do cows try to clean themselves? And do they go up to you when they see you holding a brush? (Or whatever you hold)

Lord forgive me Sweet home Alabamaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord forgive me Sweet home Alabamaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an Alabama girl...yes annoyed it's already dirty...but it really do get dirty that fast 😂😂

@@treespiders9397 cows LOVE to brush themselves/ be brushed. Sometimes farmers will set up a brush station which is more or less a car cow wash and cows will just shove their whole face into it. Extremely cute

I love sims medieval 💕

I just bought it and started playing it again

Not going to lie, the worst part of Sims Medieval was walking forever to get places. Glad to see the least interesting thing come back.

Those long dirt paths made me ACHE for a Sims 3 horse to ride on them. Seriously.

the walking MY GOD,,,we rly needed horses for

...and this one does too, so far. I wanna see how it fits with others.

Island living honestly just feels like a world expansion and it doesn't add much to the game either. Am always so disappointed with all these packs, I wish they added more bc I love playing in tropical landscapes

I haven't played this but seeing how much this adds, this feels more like an expansion than many of the past packs, besides they feel as though they have learned from many of their past mistakes. The only gripe i have with this pack is how few BB items it adds.

I think one major problems are the game packs, bc they exist gameplay that should be in other EXPANSION packs are now in game packs and therefore the expansion packs look smaller

@@paulkofler519 I remember one of the gurus saying that they couldn't add more features into the pack because it would mean cutting other features, which is honestly such a bad excuse. Just say that you want to divide content into as many packs as possible to make more money.

Carl's Clue(les)s

I KNEW IT

Yes or if like Sims had likes or dislikes for worlds, they wont randomly show up there, only appear if you invite them

Same goes for snowy escape for example. You shouldn't have that many random people from other worlds just constantly there. Sometimes? Sure, but it should be rare

Good idea 💡👍

You'll get more information from Carl than the livestreams. 😉

@@gigisneckofthewoods you’re riiiight

i had to click out of the DHD live stream because the sim guru couldnt correctly place cabinets... that was painful to witness. the CL stream was just boring

@@hannahrichey8697 i didn’t even make it 30 seconds in without hving the urge to skip before leaving😭 i applaud you for making it however far you made it

@@hannahrichey8697 You’d think they’d have a halfway decent builder do that one. That “renovation” was a nightmare

Lol dont tell me they got your hopes up?

Reminded me of graduation in DU :P

I never have high expectations or any expectations when it comes to the Sims 4

Okay but have you been to an actual fair? I think they were just being realistic

@@TrufanNW No, I knew the fair wasn't going to work as advertised. It was much more "we cobbled some crap together and called it a fair" than I thought it would be.

I'm wondering if that's a mod for that, because nothing breaks my immersion quicker than Bjorn and Mortimer strolling around Mt. Komorebi. The language barrier mod was really fun to play with, but this issue makes it kinda pointless. :/

@@narutosgirl613 There is a mod called Sim Spawn Overhaul that fixes this!

@@narutosgirl613 Like @Albie said, yup! It's made by Lotharihoe and it's here: lotharihoe.tumblr.com/post/622921247655919616/sso-sim-spawn-overhaul-download-google-drive (I was watching Carl's video and he reminded me that I'd taken it out for the Sims Sessions update, so I was literally just putting it back in 😂)

Half assed? Why would they do that they might as well have not made this pack if you think it's that bad plus it hasn't released yet we can't say this is all there is to it

@@lunacouer ​@Albie thanks, guys!

Wait, can you elaborate on the spraypainting bit?

How do you give them haircuts lmao that seems like a funny sight

@@lala-4458 Certain breeds of cows have longer hair. The black-and-white short hair is only one type of breed.

Oooh thanks guys i didnt know most of these things

Why would you put makeup on a cow?? I'm so confused

When he said " I want to thank EA for this opportunity", i know this won't be an honest review. I always think that when a youtuber preface their video with "This company gives me the opportunity to review their product" is their way to professionally says "This is not my honest review. This company paid me to do it so please understand because i need the money."

@@prawnchips9461 you really don't know how this works do you? they must be upfront on sponsorships etc. Carl is VERY critical of the sims, dude is pretty well known for his guides on the sims.

@@prawnchips9461 actually no, the game changers are not paid, they’re just sent early access to review like this. Carl is actually one of the more honest game changers, along with plumbella.

@@prawnchips9461 youre a new watcher arent you buddy

Yeah, i am new to this channel or Simmers content creators. Never knew that he always this sarcastic, it's hillarious. I thought he being sarcastic was just him holding in the disappointment but still trying to be "nice" I actually found him and other simmers because i had an urge to play the sims and the sims 4 was on sale last week on Steam. I want to buy it, but i remember that The Sims 4 angered a lot of fans. So I want to do some research (Typing "the sims 4" on google and youtube search, to be exact) and found some Simmers, including this channel. This is my first video that i deliberately watched from this channel after youtube recommend this to me after several days. And i'm here for it lol.

I don't know why I do, but I really do hope not.

Unfortunately, all of the pre-made Sims just love to be anywhere… and miss work/school.

@@brandoniswhoiam I thought it was just my sims doing that. Every time I switch households, everyone is either late for work, school or super hungry. Do sims even know how to take care of themselves LOL

Judith Ward is everywhere.... :(

Or worse Brytani Cho.

have been thinking the same exact thing!!

Just the same boring stuff you get in all the packs because apparently you can't have more cow's, like in the sims 3 with the horses: a barn and then you add as many as you want and even breed them! You only can have one barn per animal and in front you have your cow, when you want more you have to add every time a new barn and you can't breed them to have babies! pretty lam! Not worth the money! And what when you don't have enough space to place such a barn???

I also feel like that, I haven't been interested in a DLC for YEARS and this kinda sounds like a decent pack with gameplay. I still think it's too late to salvage the game tho... Might I add that I only think it's decent bc it will integrate great with existing mods, which shouldn't be a thing, the pack should be able to stand by itself. But then again, you can't expect anything from EA.

@@nathaliecarluccio7559 we don't have horses yet but they should have came in pets. In regards to cows in sims 3 you couldn't breed them either and they were objects too

I was really hoping they would allow Residential lots in Granite Falls and Selvadorada with this. What better place to keep llamas than Selvadorada? I'm not really expecting it to happen though, and I see no reason why it can't.

I didn't expect to see you here, but I agree. (Love your work btw)

Okay I did not know fandom commentary youtube and simmer youtube intersected but I'm pleased to find that you

I feel so honored to know that Carl is a top fave simmer of yours too.

@@christinez.1454 love his vids!!! i use the guides on his site a ton too

Always awesome to see my favorite creators support each other! Also agreed, this honestly looks like fun and it seems to be a really good pack to boot!

Occasionally fertilizer is added to your Sim's inventory when cleaning the animal barn. It can be used on the Large Crops.

Or maybe… you’ve not seen every single aspect of the gameplay yet because the game literally isn’t out yet 😂🤯

@@DDoubleEDouble you mean the pack? But criticism and pointing this out is good because it can make people realize what is missing and recommend devs to add things

@@PoptartParasol I 100% agree, however the above comment isn’t criticism. They are speculating whether or not something is in the pack, assuming it’s not and then insulting the devs over their incorrect assumption. It’s honestly just mean. There are so many other things that can genuinely be critiqued just based on what we have actually seen. My only point was that it’s better to give an informed opinion than an uninformed one, not that we can’t comment on the game before it’s out (that would be dumb lol)

@@DDoubleEDouble at this point people are just making up excuse to hate on EA because of their greed and apparent laziness (according to some people)which I would join in but EA is doing some good things like adding cool stuff so I'm not complaining yet

chickens do, cows don't. They are tied to an area around their "pen"

@@CarlsSimGuides 😮 Oh no

They are tethered to the barns or how the Gurus said it "like to stay close to home."

The new newborn baby/infant

do they walk a few paces or literally not at all?

I mean that makes sense. I’m surprised people didn’t know this, I always assumed this was the case. 😳

their feet*

their chickens*

Or the person who decided it was a lake and not a pond comes from somewhere with a very hot climate. I live in the middle east, where ponds aren't a thing because they evaporate

Lakes come in different sizes. Not every country has bodies of water on the USA scale. It looks like what I would call a lake in my country.

I think if I worked for EA and was given the task of making a lake....I would take the time to research what common lakes look like and not make excuses

@@runsincircles7200 or maybe, juussstt maybe, lakes look different in different countries lmao e.g the comment above yours

@@limiv5272 R we i

I was looking to see if anyone else commented on that lol

I think even knowing what I'm doing my style would be chaotic! But even more so when I'm going in fairly blind and have $400 in my Sim's account. I felt the missions were probably OK but not good for early in a game. I have hopes this will be fun with other packs installed.

I was hoping for windenburg level of lots, but silly me. It's exhausting playing this game and wanting better things.

@@wheezel55 lol it's not even meant to be a big city like Windenburg or San Myshuno….

@@TONZAMUSIC It's definitely meant to have lots of farmlands like the actual places it's based on.

@@TONZAMUSIC it's the countryside. it's a quaint village. except it's literally TINY.

Yeah Strangerville is Bigger. You would think they could at least have made all country lots 50x50& 64x64. The town ones can be small.

Hahah, I thought I sounded like a person asking a child which circle was orange.

@@CarlsSimGuides Haha I was half expecting you to leave a long pause and then go "good job!"

Pffff haha Sims 4 WISHED it was Stardew Valley 😂😂

It's usually fun to dive into new content and check things out and how they work, since it's one of the main things I do. I really need to see how well this integrates with the other packs to have a more sturdy opinion :)

They could have made all the country lots 50x50 & 64x64. I have lived in small towns. I understand the towns space being small. But all the farms were big. I know live in a small city. All the farms around us at big

@@AuttumnDawn I live next to Amish land, Pa and surrounded by country everywhere, and I think the difference is what you're using the land for. Because the larger farms were for vegetation, not animal stock. Sometimes, animal breeders would have large plots of land. This is because these are money maker farms, specifically for rearing as much produce as you can to sell it. but this pack seems to be focused on the lifestyle aspect and not the industrial, so if you're just raising animals to feed your family, a small farm is better because it's lower maintenance. It would've been cool to have a sort of lifestyle vs industrial aspect to this pack, to continue the theme of Eco lifestyle and really give that pack more playability.

Seriously.. Windenburg has *27* lots ...

I'm working on that now in my script, this is the best comment.

Pretty sure we won't. Looking back that was such a good pack, in comparison to what we get now.

I only watch Carl's videos because he makes them fun. It's the only reason I still glance at Sims 4 stuff.

Crap I wasn't even trying to be condescending!

@@CarlsSimGuides nooo I loved it. Seemed appropriate. I love The Sims so much but EA also pisses me off so much. 😂

Maybe in the penthouses?

Apparently, everyone except the Crumplebottoms (they’re immortal) gets replaced.

Thats an interesting choice for me. Soft cheese sure, but hard cheese is like a brick sitting in your stomach LOL. Very filling.

Yeah this is a good reason to hold off on a review. Some of the activities + cows/chickens might be really fun with other packs installed especially with the new lot trait.

Same

Happy to be getting back into the swing of things. I was on a very long project in June!

Hey, my buddy. Happy to see you drop in.

I can't wait for kids to garden. All the kids are now working in the fields. No need for school. New sims challenge. Making money of the kids

@@AuttumnDawn lol, forced child labor 😅
