After finally getting myself a few packs these past few days, i can say that the base game is incredibly empty. I never once used base game clothes and hair after discovering custom content and the first time I ever had fun with the base game was when I did a rags to riches and the challenge of it made me excited to play.

I remember in TS2, you can play with an already established household like the Pleasants. As soon as you start out in that household, the mom goes to work, the daughters go to school, and you’re left with the father at home who is having an affair with the maid. The wife comes home early, and catches them. You get to decide what happens from there. Not only that, but that SAME MAID is ALSO messing around with DON LOTHARIO. The LORE! TS4 is such a disappointment 😭😭

Those things were scripted, like, if you played with the sisters a burglar would always come in and fulfill a fear that would devastate one of them because she wanted to be rich. Or Don rejecting his fiance on their wedding. Those are the kind of things that remain in our memories after so many years so of course the solution for future games would be to just script those kind of things on real time, so there's always something interesting happening on the lives of the sims, an algorithm that makes stories. A soap opera simulator where you want to play just to find out what happens to them in the next episode!

Style Influencer does have a work from home option. This might have been a pre-City Living update to that career only. I consider TS4 aspirations to be hobbies or goals rather than overarching driving forces like in TS2. I switch back and forth since that is part of the game (without cheating) and it's realistic to have multiple interests and goals. I have 2 basegame only saves that I find very satisfying. I find them more challenging than when I have all packs installed. One I did a 100 baby challenge, and the other I'm doing an adjusted rules Not So Berry. The number one thing a person needs to find this game satisfying is imagination. W/NSB you have your basic goals/rules each generation, but to watch the story unfold before you is great fun. I find fewer players play the ingame Sims in TS4 than in any other generation. It drives me nuts to hear players that have never played the OG games call the ingame Sims NPCs. If they ship in a home, they are neighbors. If they ship without a home but not with a specific purpose, they are townies. If they ship with a specific task but can be moved into a home they are service Sims. If they cannot be moved in, then and only then, they are NPCs. Multitasking is overrated. When they do it, it slows down both tasks. If someone comes up to my child while she is doing her art in inspired mode, I end the conversation so she doesn't drop out of inspiration before she's finished.

I also remember struggling to set proper family relationships, so one family I made of me and my sister started flirting with each other autonomously. I don't know if that was also something excluded, but yeah. With that being my experience, TS4 had me excited because there were so many other things to do outside the household. I did also play TS3 on console, Xbox360, but that didn't have all the features either. It had an open neighborhood, though truthfully I remember little about it.

I did have fun with Sims 4 base game as a late arrival to Sims 4. i still think Sims 2 is the gold standard Sims game and really I think a good Sims game would be Sims 2 with story progression and the build mode and CAS of Sims 4. I actually do not want an open world as it was kind of a mess to play in when it was working and wasn’t crashing. What I would like is open regions/neighborhood areas like if I go to my neighbors house or a shop on the same block, no loading screen. But if I am going to an entirely different neighborhood area, I don’t mind it so much if it reduce performance issues. I also want the simulation to actually send people to work/school when I am not playing them and have a real economy. Like if you hire a Sims and pay them, the money made goes to the the sim and not out into imaginary land ether (like it does in sims 4). And if you open a retail shop it would be nice if the sim buys something, when you go to there house they have it. I also want to go back to actually having to change clothes at a dresser or wardrobe (like Sims 2) and having to buy additional outfits over time (like Sims 2) instead of immediate access to all of CAS (unpopular opinion, I know).

Sometimes it will be me trying to recreate a home that I've lived in, but with updates that I wished I could've afforded at the time. Other times I might see a room decorated in a magazine and then try to build a whole house around that. Oftentimes, I've seen a flyer for a home for sale (which will only show a couple shots of the outside and maybe one or two random pics of the inside) and I'll try and imagine the whole home. I could go on. Point is I just build things and then put them on the gallery. 😄 I usually build a really big home and then try to scale it down and slash the price in half (but still keep the essence of the house) and then scale it down again to get closer to a starter home price.

Its bad when you need mods to make a game function and for some lore and less incestuous game play to occur lool. Ive never been a massive mod player until the past year or so, but i want to create immersive stroylines even if I like to play one family based stories at a time. Ive recently played the sims 2 with and without mods. But the mods i mainly use are some aesthetic changes and some game play modifications , such as community lots and home lot times matching when sims visit them. Thats one thing that always has grated me. The Sims 4 is easier and i like that sometimes but theres less challenges and more micro management involved. Im a massive gameplay fan in all sims games instead of building or aim creation. So if i had a choise of the other sims games in the franchise,at base game level, instead if the sims 4 base game gameplay; i would then choose the previous predecessors in a heartbeat 💓. It all jisut seems like a set dressing in the sims 4, indeed a fantasy land. Great video as always Satch ❤x

I guess I need to buy a million packs'' The only thing you need for good gameplay is imagination, and if my adhd short attention span ass can sit there and play Sims 4 basegame 8 hours a day then I think you can enjoy the game for a couple of hours as well if you were to actually be creative and use your imagination instead of letting the game guide you.

And it’s not like he even gets upset when he’s nice. Believe me if I made a Sim with negative traits in 2 or 3 they would be total jerks, like I wanted.

I didn’t know what to do with it at first, but now it’s my favorite world. I have two saves where I have done nothing with it, but I also don’t need it in those saves so it’s not a big deal.

@@enigmaoffc3148Honestly, when I jumped into Sims 4 (late in it’s life) I didn’t bother with Newcrest and didn’t miss it. Willow Creek and Oasis Springs were enough. But when I did want to prep something custom, it was a blast to have a clean slate. I didn’t expect gameplay to be anything but building when I decided to dive in. I built a Sims 2 world with a map I made in SimCity4 just cause I wanted to test the feature across the games. It wasn’t a great world, but it was mine and that took about two weeks from terraine work to having a playable map. Don’t know that I’d ever do it again because I am not really a builder (I customize for story telling) but it was fun to do once and I knew the gameplay was going to be building until the project was done. So when I finally filled in Newcrest I wasn’t expecting it to be quick, lol. It’s a relatively easy world to ignore if you only have base game and even easier to ignore if you have packs and plenty of other worlds. But for people who want to build, it’s the closest they get to a proper blank slate.

The old games (which I played, but not very much) gave you the rails to play on if you wanted them, where TS4 completely took them off.

But that had nothing to do with open/closed worlds. EA tends to put limits in the sims games that are dumb, like now we can only have 99 apartment units in a save. Yes, not everyone will reach that limit, but why bother limiting then? Só we don't complain that the game is lagging? Well, at least they should add an option on the configuration menu. There's a recente mod for Sims 3 that rewrites the limitações EA had written in sims 3 code and the world feels more alive than Sims 4, but you need a good computer to run it without issues.

The sims can run on a shit GPU but you have to run it on a really high end CPU to avoid problems like this and simulation lag/frame rate drops.

If sims 4 can be controlled like how you control an RPG character, instead of clicking, that'll be great to enjoy the world's aesthetic. Sims 4 has first person mode, but it's difficult to use, the movement is not stable, and you still need to click using a mouse to make the sim do something. I hope this can be updated so it'll move smoothly & can interact easily using keyboard/customized/console controls, like RPG game. The one thing that resemble this other than first person mode is the jogging/walking/hiking action. But again, you cannot easily interact/control them.

Compare with other recent expansion packs' worlds, in the EP worlds, you notice there are many set dressing displayed on the map, that you cannot even click or enter. At least in base game, all lots are playable, or maybe their set dressing is only on the outskirt/border as backgrounds. Or maybe it's not being displayed on the map, because they're only like unclickable neighbours houses, which does not have functional purposes. EP worlds usually have the set dressing at the center, and displayed on the map. Maybe because they serve as event/festival venues, so it is shown on the map?

The Family tree is stuffed up. Even in Growing Together, the Luna- Sullivan shown them as not being related, also with High School Prescott and Lum household who were related are not showing as related. So The Sims have ruined the family tree again, which was another feature that was added and not in the game on release

Hey Satch! Xbox simmer here! I LOVE your honest reviews and videos!! I’ve had to stop buying game packs and expansions due to the lack of game play and ambition! It’s funny but it’s actually so sad that the sims 4 isn’t worth the £1000+ price tag it comes with! Base game is so boring and for someone who can’t have mods, the game is hard to enjoy for more than 5 minutes. Build mode on console is hard and tedious, loading screens are LONG and the game force closes all the time 😢 I wish ea would just listen to you and stop avoiding the criticism

I feel it also doesn’t help that sims 4 is still adamant about making the game kid friendly whilst ignoring the fact that their age demographic is actually older teens and up..

I love creating my own stories, it's my favorite thing, so I don't mind that aspect. However, without packs and mods, I'd be bored out of my mind even if I like the storytelling aspect. Mods run the game, that's for sure, as they make even the packs better. It's very sad to see how cash-grabby EA is, but I still enjoy the game as it's a nice escape from real life game for me. However, I don't think I want to play any of the other games at this point because I know I'd enjoy the gameplay way too much and my hyperfixation would abandon ts4 completely for at least a year then, and I really like the cozy feeling I've managed to create in my game. It's so sad to see the way this game fell so hard in comparison to the others, and yet I'm not even a little surprised.

Having plaid TS2 and TS3 base games, I'd give The Shit 4... 0/10. A huge big no. It didn't just strip open world, color wheel and a tons of other stuff during launch, it stripped fun, drama, free will, wishes, fears... And countless others.

The team really spent all the time on CAS and build mode, they just gave us a "create your own RPG game." Like, don't give me a job to do, bro. People get paid big bucks to write stories for RPGs. I'm not setting up my own situation and writing the whole story for myself to enjoy. It's like trying to tickle yourself.

Exactly. I can't be bothered with this pretend freedom. To a certain extent, I need a structure that guides me a little. If the game is done well, this can then lead to a good kind of freedom.

I started playing TS4 in 2021. As a very gameplay/character focused person btw, don't care about building. I got bored in just ONE day. Never been the case in any other tittle in the series, their base games kept me entertained for a good while. Anyhow, I got back to TS4 when there was a sale so I grabbed some packs catered to my interests which immediately made the game way more enjoyable. Also mods. I couldn't imagine playing TS4 without mods. In previous games I downloaded a shitton of CC but hardly any gameplay mods, with TS4 it's the other way around: hardly any CC but shitton of gameplay mods.

This video is a living breathing example of how EA doesn't give a damn about their broke players and make you have to buy the packs to even have fun. This isn't a videogame, it's a damn Streaming Service that you have to buy every show you want to watch!

the sims base game is practically playing dolls the sims aren't people just objects and everything that happens you have to make happen. Its kinda annoying considering the price hope the Sims 5 goes away from the "play your own way motto" and actually makes the sims really people with personalities and choice

game for play needs gameplay not just setup and go I'm playing sims 3 over a decade and just played sims 4 for a few months. In sims 3 even if you give your family best traits like genius/ charismatic/ friendly or even good. And let them do their stuff autonomously you'll see that genius boy mocking her sister for being ignorant. Your good father mocks your charismatic mother for her personality and also you'll find them praising the boy for being clever or the good dad brighten the day of her daughter. These were just bunch of positive traits now mix them with other family with negative traits and the gameplay starts , I promise it will be a challenge to get everything and everyone cool because sims in sims3 are sharp on their personality and you can barely control them . Only traits makes sims3 a great experience. With Open world, customization, endless possibilities and ..... . It Will be a huge rich gameplay. (First you have to learn use mods and tips to make sims3 less buggy) But as you mentioned sims 4 sims are white sheets and you should give color to them and keep giving them the color because they even don't remember what happened half an hour ago .

I have very vivid memories pf trying really hard to make my sims befreiend someone only for it to fail everytime. Turns out they were always yelling at my sim because they were just evil. I used to love to marry sims from the town even non Story townies because I would make a up a Story for them baded on their traits in the sims 4 you meet random townies and its like "okay so you are friendly, claptomanic and a like cats and you come from no where and are wearing the most hurandous 2010 fashion plus some random cc and and eyeballrong

Honestly the Sims has a good 3 to 5 years before we get that goodbye message lets face it they dont know what they're doing and they have treated consumers poorly and their game doesnt typically appeal to the masses so when project rene does come out we'll be busy playing with the competition brands THAT LISTENED and the new age consumers will absoloutley rip the new sims game apart limb by limb which will be enough to end the whole franchise i can see it now

never really comment but a lot of people’s problem in these comments is that y’all complain and bitch about him giving criticism and that he shouldn’t play a game if he’s going to criticize it like you can criticize still want to play it that normal and okay. He have some valid points. Yall get mad at Lil shi like iT DoNt tAkE 3 hR tO mAkE a hOuSe. Like first off he's just making a point and it just went over your head. Atleat he keep it real and he also goes back and says he's wrong when he's wrong might not be in the same video but if he's wrong he’ll say that. not only that just like when y’all complained about him not getting something right when reviewed for the new pack he said that he thinks not that he knows so less people know y’all don’t be listening
