And with that we see the future of a game we all once loved get flushed down the toilet. sigh.

The really sad thing to me is that everyone was super excited and I could see this really work within the established game mechanics: -give us requirements for the different room types like we have for community lots. - allow us to learn all the likes and dislikes of all family members. - make sure that at least one of the requirements is a color or decor style. You can see they have spent all their development budget in buy mode - 3 new systems with sectional storage and couches and bunk beds - and on the like dislike system, leaving not enough money for gameplay as the often do. This hurts this pack more than most because a lot of this content is at least partially available through the base game. Likes and dislikes are in the basegame and I am pretty sure that they did not look autosofa and sectional storage in the pack because they wanna use it again, making them also available for cc creators to come up with furniture alternatives giving the pack very little value.

I agree, i was hoping that there would be some undiscovered gameplay or quirks that they just didnt show off in the livestream. I'm saddened it's not the case. I agree that at least two more gameplay elements should have been added into this pack to give players a new way to interact without being in the carreer

So wait hold on... and werewolves STILL ain't in?

bruh this is literally my favorite pack in the hole game

I'm a Builder and trust me it's still crap!

Truer words have never been spoken

Noone wants to watch their videos on UKposts anymore, as it's too bland for content quality and they are being influenced by EA for good review. Watching streaming Triple A games like Resident Evil Village is much more interesting.

Let’s plays aren’t dead, it’s just nobody wants to see empty gameplay

I mean I like to build but it doesn't offer much on the build mode side that we don't ALREADY have, and I could care less if my sims like the home I gave them or not. Their opinions don't matter in the long run so why should I care for those 5 minutes what they think? lol I redesigned my entire world to reflect different locations and I change them as I please and use MCCC to set their personalities and preferences according to how they live. This pack is a nice feature, but it doesn't add anything.

same, we get them for community lots but not here? i guess they wanted us to have more freedom, but..

That's a very good point. Another fail for the Sims 4. Certain required items could have at least helped keep things somewhat within reason.

That was my thought, they already have it built into the game??? I wish I could say I’m surprised at this point

@@nannybells They could even be hidden requirements that are just checked against when they assess how well you did. If you don't meet them you fail your job and get notified why and lose performance and reputation. Meaning there are consequences for a badly done job. I don't think they would need to be super strict but check for the basics so you cannot completely run amok in the game.

@@SGast sims 4 fails to give this kind of gameplay hence why only CAS and Building seems to keep this game going

Didn't the similar job in the sims 3 have requirements when you took a job like this in the game?

@@lumistar2767 yes you have to put specific items in, make sure the sims can access each item and the room couldnt be cluttered deleting all the furniture in the house like he did here would probably result in them telling you to fix it and not paying you

The Sims 4 is not even a game, it’s just a toy. People have had to make their own games with the toy. A broken toy.

@@jordane8526 omg this is the definition.

i rly thought it was gna do that too, similar to tenants. im disappointed,as always.

I'd be cool with dollhouse as long as some of the systems you play within have rules, and it honestly seems like that's the big problem judging by the comments here. So many people do NOT want to play pretend. They want to operate within some rules.

Sims 1- 3 weren't like this at all. Game developers are just lazy. I doubt Sims 5 will be much better. It's all about $$$

I’d agree with that if it hadn’t been for its predecessors which - might I add, had tons of depth and consequence and anyone who’s been playing this game before sims 3 knows this and this is why some of the player base feels let down with lack of creativity, gameplay and depth in the sims 4, time after time after time.

been saying this for years, its a dollhouse simulator aimed at kids, sims was supposed to be a teen and up life simulator with consequences for your actions. Sims2 was a great example of this. if you failed your sim would go insane, you get fired easier, you could die randomly at anytime if you were not careful. Thats why I play sims2 now and forever

@@CarlsSimGuides I know I'm tired of forcing game play!

Mosquito*

yeah you start to wonder where the line between a stuff pack and a game pack is now when the stuff pack comes with MORE gameplay than the game pack. paranormal had a new gameplay system along with a whole new career like...

Exactly. They really decided more meshes was worth another $10. I'll just wait for the cc creators to pull out the coding for the sectionals and throw that extra $10 at them.

Yeah this is just a very low budget sims 3 ambitions without the fun and interesting game play . Three careers is a fair amount even if they did two active careers and one rabbit hole career.There are no new traits or aspirations . How is this a game pack?They could have at least fleshed the one career way more by having it be able to branch off to a architecture career more focused on the home builder aspect ,building from the ground up adding in requirements like the ones for the tiny houses from tiny living or real estate where we can buy more land /houses, fix them up and flip them for more money. They could have put in the ability to buy an apartment building and become a landlord and you have to maintain the apartments. There should also be more rewards and incentives for doing well in a career.

I called Moschino mosquito too but I realized if every SP had that much improvement/effort put in it'd be a better game. Same with Batuu, actually! Its problem was being entirely separate. That pack is twice the size of all other GPs.

Just play it for yourself. I've heard wonderful things about it

If it weren't just this career, and this career had some idea what a bathroom is.... and let me make a door when adding a room.

@CommodoreLezmo i think its just sad that we have to rely on modders for that and not the actual people ya know, creating the game.

@CommodoreLezmo We don't need new tags. Objects are already categorized by room type in the buy catalog. These tags are not perfect of course but would be better than nothing and would work for most spaces. The game could check if most items used in a room were tagged for the room category, while decorations and lighting could be neutral. We also already have appeal systems in the game and placing negative items like dog poop could be penalized. You could also use some type of requirement like bathrooms need a toilet shower or tub and a sink like community lots do to give at least a little bit of guidance.

Carl is negative about everything. It’s good clickbait. I wouldn’t listen to him to much.

have SO musch things on build mode, i think its because of this

Because they can charge twice as much for a game pack. Paranormal stuff pack also had one career and a bunch of build and buy and cost half as much.

Paranormal stuff has more gameplay then this lol.

They used to have standards.

How is this not just an Expansion that added in BOTH Paranormal and Reno Design, as well as two or three other professions? Sims 3 Ambitions is the same price as Sims 4 expansions, and it gave us: Architect, Paranormal Investigator, Private Investigator, Inventor, Sculptor, Stylist, self-employment careers (Gardener, Painter, Writer, Alchemist with SN pack, Band with LN pack), and even sort of a Tattoo Artist except not because it's not a career but that's the ONLY odd one out of the whole pack that's a bit off. Sims 3 had ENDLESS gameplay content from ONE SINGLE PACK. Ambitions and Generations are considered the MOST IMPORTANT packs in all of Sims 3 because they actually gave the game so much life. But Sims 4 has literally neither. They rip apart everything we had from Sims 3 and sell it separately so they can make more money. They have the ability to make a proper expansion pack from literally 4 Stuff Packs and 2 Game Packs, but they won't because they want money, not to make their players happy.

Those had more functional items as well where as in this I don't see any other than a tent.

This should have came with a new world full of fixer-upper homes

@@morgandidion7177 I hope they update the pack with more gameplay (like you said a fixer upper world would be awesome) or convert it to a stuff pack and refund players half because I really like a lot of the items but I can't justify throwing $25CAD towards it even on sale with the amount in it currently

this feels like a new My First Pet stuff situation again. at least paranormal had some new gameplay.

best comment 😂🤣

good one. wish I could like this comment ten times over

😂

Exactly 🥲

Ouch, sad but true

The creator of the Sims wanted to create a tool for architecture but ended up making one of the best games ever, and now EA a company who makes games, well publishes them, turns it now into an architecture tool. I guess it's just a weird evolution.

@@birdgirl8390 It went full circle, lol.

What do you have against console players

@@chrisstandfast6112 Nothing really. Just sad that they get to miss out on all the things us PC players can do: Mods and CCs. They don't know any better. I was intending getting the console version too. That is, until I realized it offered no different gameplay style (like Sims 3 pets, dogs and cats can have jobs and achievements). No new map either.

@@FallenAngelHiroko I don't want mods and cc lol it's gamebreaking I don't even use any of that on pc so screw cc

sims 4 are bad anyway I have no fun playing it myself...I have fun watching others playing and be happy with it with a little honey infusion...and snacks 🥰

I had hopes but given the track record of the sims 4, they weren’t very high tbh

I mean I already predicted that it was going to be boring lol

@MySimsWorld plumbella had to deal with a shitload of bugs for starters

@MySimsWorld sims 4 are bad in a sense that the basic game is still lackluster after 6 year and the emotion system just doesn't do it's job as every sims act and react the same ways the heck even vegetarian sims eat meat !!!! if you enjoy the sims 4 it's fine but I don't

The thing that kind of made me angry is how hard building is being pushed but not saying OK this is a bedroom and it must have a bed. I broke it far too easily and it made me rather blunt with my thumbnail.

Gameplay? This pack adds nothing in terms of gameplay. It just repurposes pre-existing gameplay. It’s a glorified stuff pack. Great for the builders out there, but not worth 20$.

@@CarlsSimGuides It might be good for builders only, but maybe instead of ruining sims lives you could actually try to make their house look better? I do have to remind you that there was bugs in all previous packs that they fixed *ahem* mermaids walking on top of the water....... so im sure they will be fixing the dream home decorator pack : )

Bu fixing i mean the buginess of the likes an dislikes

@@lucillefuller284 you missed the point of his comment and video. Could you make sims lives better and do good jobs? Yes. The issue is there is no penalty for doing obvious bad jobs. There are no restrictions. If im hired to do a job that's a bathroom, there should be a limitation on what room I can work on. There should be items that I am required to place in order for the job to be completed successfully. Instead, you get total free range, can mess it up completely and still succeed. There is no reason why I should be doing a child's room renovation yet still pass by redecorating the living room. The sims 3 atleast had an item checklist. There is no reason 4 couldn't do the same

I wouldn't call the team lazy: they're probably overworked and underpaid, if anything. The problem is that EA doesn't allocate enough resources to actually make something good, because corporate knows that garbage will turn a higher profit.

No, I would definitely call them lazy. They’ve shown time and again that they’re proud of the work they’re doing. And they shouldn’t be.

100% agree. I tried playing with the pack today and I couldn't even hang on for 30 minutes.

@@zoneout116 so what if they're proud they're allowed to like their project

facts, the trailer was good but the pack is lacking so much. I'm glad I saved my money, I will go back to playing 3 now

Yeah, my sim autonomously listened to classical music, which she dislikes. She then went on to be in a bad mood for 4 hours. Smh

you see, i think the renovations will be much less repetitive then say the doctor or scientist carers because you can actually be creative and do something different every time

@@audreyweston5644 If that was the case then I'd rather buy House Flipper for 20$ (it's actually 19.99$) than give EA 20$ for a glorified joke of a game pack. At least House Flipper is a full game with plenty of functionality and gameplay in the house renovation career than this pack will ever be.

@@Tabbalco Plus, we're getting Pets and Luxury Houses soon! House Flipper is putting out a lot more content, which no one can say the same about EA. All of these items we already had in the Sims. It's called CUSTOM CONTENT. Only console players haven't had them, but console is inferior still unfortunately. If the tech was made to use the Internet properly, even console players wouldn't buy this trash, they'd just be smart and get it from CC makers and Modders

Sad but very true. I’m so sick of being disappointed because it seems like sims 4 has been a journey of continuous let down.

Im surprised by how accurate that actually is

As a former sims 4 stan, I can confirm the accuracy of this statement. EA has totally ruined The Sims 4, I'm just glad I realized what was happening before I threw any more money at them. 😑

100% accurate

Still no money to buy new computers, hating open world.

Sims4 has no challenge, kts been dumbed down to kid game level. Sims was originally teen and up rated not just for rude and adult themes but also for the difficulty, it was a life simulator. Now its just a dollhouse simulator, no negatives, decent gameplay or challenges.

I remember I did a renovation job in sims 3, all boxes ticked. Then I showed the effects to the client and she was furious. I was confused, but then I realized that I'd forgotten to build roof over a new room. The game still counted that as a failure. Because it was.

I wouldn’t even get it for $5

I get that they wanted to make it so you could choose to willingly disregard what the townies wanted you to do (like sometimes happens on the tv shows) but for that to actually work it needs to have clear instructions (not just "ask a sim xyz") as to what the sim wants which you have to meet in order to do well on the task. If you want to then deliberately do badly you can do, but you won't be rewarded for it. They could have even had it be that certain townies who are enemies with the townie you are doing the job for could ask you to sabotage the makeover. So you get to choose who to listen to making it a challenge either way. But no, of course not.

In Sims 3, all things you did actually mattered! Can't wait to go back and leave 4 behind for good

Because they know people will buy them regardless. Sadly, the gaming industry is getting a bit too used to releasing broken products.

A good majority of games are now released in awful states and the customer is expected to be the play tester.

Because they don't care about the game or its audience, just money; EA's agenda is simply to crap out as many packs as possible, regardless of the quality. Personally, I don't fault the developers for the lack of depth in the packs since it's mostly the fault of the company higher-ups-who've clearly never played a game in their life-who refuse to let the developers take time off pumping new (hollow) content in order to fix the game.

I read a post on another video from someone who used to work as a QA tester for EA and they do actually fully test them, and often highlight tons of bugs. The issue is that EA higher ups have different ways of categorising bugs and if its considered by them to not be worth the extra time (and therefore money) to fix, then the bug goes into the "known shippable" category. As in they know about it and are more than happy for it to ship on release date with those bugs still there. They will then fix the worst ones if, and only if, they get enough negative feedback about the bug(s) from players to make it worth (to them) fixing them. Hence why their forum places great emphasis on clicking "me too" on bug reports and also retires threads if they haven't had any interactions in 3 months (lack of interactions means they think its been forgotten so don't need to bother paying staff to fix it). Most of the graphical error type bugs (so the teeth vanishing with some of the new hair swatches/styles, sims getting stuck in the ceilings - in Paranormal and this pack, etc) end up in the "known shippable" category. Only ones which repeatedly (100% of the time) cause game crashes or save file corruptions get fixed before release, and a few other ones that cause stability issues. Other than that? They'll fix it later. Maybe. If they can be bothered to spend some of their billions.

Arent They Doing The No Mans Sky/Fallout 76 Type Extremely-Early/Pre-Release Development Type Final Release Method?

I'm a member of the program and I think it's respectable of them to keep it that way. Nothing would stop me from reviewing things, regardless. I do not seek out to hate things - and never really hate or get mean at devs - I always state the reason I'm disappointed and I think we have a mutual respect for this reason.

Carl has been what I would describe as an icon in the sim community for a long while now so I trust his reviews because they are very similar to my own views on the direction the sims 4 has take . His criticism is well deserved and well received because it’s true and echoes the sentiments of a good portion of the player base that wouldn’t be heard at all without his voice. So yeah, I respect EA for having Carl as a game changer but that’s as far as it goes...lol

they are not allowed to discriminate based on negative reviewing, its part of being a game critic

Plumbella did a pretty critical review though. Lilsimsie, as always, said the pack was amazing

@@CClarinet123 Yeah I liked Plumbella's review. And I can understand that, as long-time fans of the series, we naively assume that the we love game is actually *doing* something. And I bet the Game Changers have to do their videos so quickly that they might not have time to test all the mechanics. No doubt it would have become apparent with time. It's just such a shame LGR gave up on reviews (I don't blame him!) but I'm really grateful we've got Carl. I imagine Pleasant Sims might also do a critical review of the pack when she gets a chance? But there really aren't many voices in the Sims community any more who will really interrogate the game.

@@candyak9985 yep, that's it. Most of the reviews are always super positive until a few months later when people have already bought the game. There's a lack of critical reviews...

@@CClarinet123 Yeah, it will definitely become apparent after a few 'lets be a bad decorator' videos. Interestingly, I just watched Lilsimsie's video and you can kind of see that what she did had no impact on the outcome.

And at least the sims 2 and 3 both had actual personality? 2 and 3 felt like actual worlds with living characters. Sims 4 feels like.. a doll set.

I played this game a lot on and off from 2017 to 2020. I experienced extreme burnout, and here I am, playing Sims 2 with no plans of going back soon. I seem to rotate between the two, sometimes TS3 thrown in there too, but TS4 has let me down so much and I have so many mods I need to constantly update, that I think I might not even go back.

You always enjoy what you starving for, so less they give us of something more grateful we will be when we finally get something we desperately feel we need in the game. Basic mind-games and marketing. Rarity increase value. Make something seem rare, like diamonds and you can make people pay a whole years of salary to get a wedding ring... business is a cruel world and only way to beat it is to educate yourself about things true value.

It's stupid easy to model an entire kitchen set and I've seen several beginner friendly tutorials for it, so it baffles me too that people are praising the Sims Team for a job an inexperienced person can do in a few hours alone.

@@isyoursheepwireless I think IKEA made a right choice for not corporate with EA anymore after Sims 3 or was it Sims 2. Sadly the item look is generic design so it cannot be licenced under company name.

Plumbella also highlighted the fact that the bugs make it practically unplayable currently.

buy it if you're a builder and like to decorate rooms and will enjoy the build mode, which is the best out of the game packs, and rivals all the packs with TS4 with its 2 new kitchen sets, sectional couches, drawers that click together, walk-in closet possibility.

@jess well my comment was made to point out that even though as a builder I LOVE new challenges I still see the total lack of new gameplay. i actually feel bad paying for this pack (and hey i haven't paid yet so maybe i will wait) because i think it is important to show EA we want change by keeping their sales low. i didn't pay for Batuu and the kits (even though i love the content of them) because those are some of the worst money grabs i've ever seen in the Sims 4. i definitely agree that it isn't justified

@jess oh sorry lol i only meant that a great percentage would do it but i'm sure not all!

i know city living was an expansion pack but just a new world wouldnt be bad

Considering how many other game packs got new worlds(6/9), there's no reason we couldn't have had one with this one. It would have been a great opportunity to add more lots and different styles instead of just reusing old ones

Ooh, that would have been really cool. But this is EA we're talking about.

I'm a little disappointed that the existing NPC's didn't get preset likes/dislikes with the update. I tested on a new save and all the iconic NPC's all seemed to have randomized crap that doesn't suit them at all. Huge miss for added nuance there.

objects that do nothing are art not gameplay additions.

I just looked and my mods folder as of right now is 17.7 GB 😂 it’s probably 80% build/buy cc. EA builds are tragic and I’m making a save file I can stand to look at and actually works correctly (i make sure my houses have toilets)

Multi billion now. EA has a net worth of $42 billion... That they have that much worth and refuse to reinvest in their games (same issue with FIFA, Battlefront etc etc) is awful. Especially since their favourite thing to do is buy up game studios doing things right, making the staff redundant (or forcing them out with shitty wages etc) and then just "employing" interns for the most part. They just don't care about making the games high quality, they care about them being high profit.

The level of content would have been fine for a Stuff Pack level. If Paranormal had it's own world, it could have been a GP instead. I'm not sure what executive is deciding what makes the grade for each pack type anymore but it's confusing. I do miss Maxis tho. :(

I'm just gonna go play Sims 3 and that job instead, lmao

Don't even buy it if you want to avoid more glitches

waaaaaaaaaaaaaay deeper :/

And way functional. Not to say way cheaper.

What's sad is that The Sims 4 is so bogged down with content and bugs that it doesn't even have its one claim to fame over The Sims 3 anymore: being a stable game.

At least with The Tenants, you have a list of things the room MUST have, which make sense given the type of room, and there are both positive and negative consequences for your actions. I would recommend that people save the money they would have spent on this useless game pack and buy The Tenants instead. The Tenants actually costs less than this (in early access).
