It's not just the sims. It's the entire industry. AI and privacy is a big issue and I agree with your opinion.

Soooo happy things are fixed!! I agree with you the sims team gets a lot of blame for EA decisions, they can only control so much though. Let's hope rewards keep going because these are great!

I am probable going to do a sims city (change to cities skylines) on the sims and switch to life by you instead at this moment

Great video, Ceara. I I agree with you on a lot of these points. The main thing is I'm glad that they are stepping it up. It's about time.

fav legacy family! grim is getting a bakery!? i cant wait to see what chaos comes next.

Hi Ceara. Great video. Lots of fun and lots chaos. In the beginning, I noticed your volume was a little low, but the rest of the video was spot on. Feta Cheese is a great name by the way.

I don't like this event being linked to real time. I wish players would be able to still unlock these items later this year or next year. The items themselves are nice. The mini fridge and trash can look better than the originals. Additional pillow colours are very useful. And this is the only one tile bar ever since the game launched. I just wish these items had been patched in as an SDX, not a timed event.

All and all I'm actually quite happy with all these rewards that are free. Dartboard is not a re-color and now you don't need a pack to get it. Nanotrash can, sure, is a re-color but looks way better than the ugly one they have originally, plus did you look at it's price!? Finally the bar is epic! Small bar. I've been complaining for years to get a small bar like previous games. Also claiming the rewards is super easy and I've had no issues. I don't know why people are upset over free stuff.

There are two rewards I like such as the NanoCan and the compact bar, which I think is a new item. I haven’t seen the Practice Makes Perfect trait yet so I haven’t been able to test. Great video, Ceara! Nice to see you back 😊

im really excited for the movie to come out!

i love that the sims team are doing collabs but i was sad we didn't get more content with the kits. i do like the kits the new ones we got that just came out

another great video! i dont know how i feel about rewards people are so angry about them but i think they could be good if they keep doing them if that makes sense.

I just adore the way you speak and your room! I also completely agree! I hate surprises.

If 5 isn't like the game play in 2. I won't bother with it. Hated 3. 4 had potential but fizzled out and is really boring. 2 made me laugh and cry... I miss the sims in 2..😢

Yeah it took me a long time to even go from The Sims 3 to Sims 4. And the giving us little bits here and there that should have been included in other packs and charging a ton for every little thing. Not cool and then that stupid move putting the shopping cart button in the game play screen! Not to mention the flashing it did at first. And if my internet is down before I go to play or god forbid I can't afford it I can't get onto the EA App to play the Sims 4 cause of their need to lord over their paying customer for every little stinking thing. You can't tell I have issues either right? I have no intention of going on to the next one this time at all. And if they pull the whole we are removing it from the APP in the future like they did what a month ago with a bunch of games I hope they get lawsuits coming out of their back end. Cause after all the money people have spent to play the sims not just for the game itself but all the paid CC content out there, that would be less then not cool!

Bro with the amount of money I have spent on the Sims 4 alone, not to mention every other Sims game (I have owned *every* Sims game on PC and Consoles), I did not spend a thousand dollars to get Ads in my game.

this is exactly why ive switched to only playing retro and indie games besides the occasional Nintendo these big gaming company are doing way too much bullshit rn

EA isn't hurting for money. They have plenty to support the development of their games, and the Sims 4 is a perfect example of just how deep their greed goes at the EXPENSE of the development of the game and the end user experience. Their PR statement is a lie that as per usual, presumes their consumer base is comprised of absolute idiots. These ads they put on startup screen, the ads they intend to inject, and the use of AI to replace actual human beings has one purpose and one purpose only: increasing quarterly profit margins for shareholders and reduce overhead costs to further amplify those pocketed profits. That money doesn't go to development. It goes to its shareholders. It's their executive bonuses. They are literally using AI to replace the need for salaried employees, and it will NOT provide any quality content development. If it does, given the state of AI in 2024, then that alone should speak to the absolute dogshit quality EA has pushed into "normalcy" and demonstrate just how LOW the bar of expectations is with the consumer base. EA is run by nothing more than corporate greed and it's visible in every corner of the company. The sims 4 is already a broken mess with expansion packs that have been on the market for 6+ YEARS and are STILL plagued by broken content at their launch that has never and will never be fixed. They have over monetized the everlivinf fuck out of the game, stripping base game elements away and selling them as overpriced DLC, game packs, and stuff packs because micro transactions don't register in the brain like higher purchases do, and people keep buying expansion packs at launch despite knowing it's going to be a mess. So no, this will not benefit their games, or development. It will degrade the user experience further, it will remove salaried employees who actually care and want to make good games for gamers, and it reduces the number of people on board who can fix existing content and push back against EA in any capacity. Personally I look forward to the day this company finally caves in on itself, but this won't happen so long as gamers keep paying for shit at launch, that is broken, riddled with predatory cash crabs and micro transactions, and lacks any soul or substance. While I blame EA for the direction this business has gone, part of that responsibility does ultimately lay in the hands of the people enabling them: the consumers. We choose whether or not we validate their cost cutting cash grabbing bullshit, and if consumers weren't validating their corporate strategy, we wouldn't see the entire fucking industry in this state of decay. I won't be buying the sims 5 and I stopped buying any dlc ages ago, and only ever do so on steam lunar sales. I also stopped buying EA games a long time ago. Studios like Larian shouldn't be a rarity I 2024. There used to be many like them, but EA and it's ilk like Activision and etc have destroyed once beloved studios like Bioware for shoddy corporate practices and these days, my trust in game development is virtually nonexistent, save for a VERY few developers I still trust (Larian, Guerilla, that's basically).

i dont mind as long as they dont disrubt my gameplay like if its just logos on items or something wich i easily can ignore if its advertisement as in comertial fils with sound jeh no thanks bt if subtile adds help them to give us more free stuff and updates so the game actually works im fine with it

acho que eles estão devendo pro agiota... não é possível...

i really want to say the idea that the ad revenue going towards making better games is optimistic, but video games evolved into loot box money printing machines, games have turned into promises of something better just to languish in its mediocre release with maybe a game breaking bug or two getting fixed so they can pretend they are still working on it, its just naive to think a corporation like EA wouldn't just pocket the ad revenue, alongside the hundreds of dollars they are making off stuff packs. think of how much money people have already dumped into games like the sims 4, hell even the sims 3, and how many well known bugs are STILL in the game that are only getting worse with each release. weddings in S4 released broken and they still have not been fixed. EA is riding on the good will from their older games to make sure their player base will give them more money when they release another broken shell of a game to literally buy stuff packs and dlc to make it fun.

It reminds me of when cable television started showing ads. Everyone complained that we were already paying for the service, and how screwed up it was to show ads on top of it. I'm not sure about AI, it's really only as smart as the dumbest person whose contributed, and considering they are learning on big forums like reddit, um... i don't have much hope for intelligence. I was using Bard/Gemini, Google's AI, about two years ago and i had to stop using it maybe 6 months ago. It's just stupid now.

And here's the reason why I am not interested in Project René at all. That game with be filled to the brim with ads and micro transactions. The Sims 4, is my very last The Sims game. I am not touching Sims 5, unless the basegame is actually free to play. However, I will not spend one dime on extra stuff for it. Not a dime. Especially if it's loaded with ads and microtransactions. If I wanted that kind of games, I would play games on my phone. I'm not THAT pathetic.

I liked your perspective on this. It is a ways off but we shall see what comes next.

Yeah I’m deleting sims 4 if the ads come. We already have the shopping cart.

great video, I love when you post!

Fab video! Excited to see what the roadmap brings and the releases!!

Great video, Cerea. I liked your take on the road map. Good to see you back 😊

Omg had no idea you could do this!! ❤

That was fun, Ceara. Enjoyed this video. I forgot you could do science baby with Grim.

our favorite family!

Hey where ya been? Hope all is ok

The redesign of Katrina is the worse thing thays happened in sims 4, she is fugly as hell now, when she was one the best looking pre-made simes before

I had not heard of this till now

I love the urban hommage kit so my style and we need so much good accessories in the sims 4. The other one is lackluster to me .

I agree with you on the kits. For me I would not buy either one. I love that they did the collaboration with Ebonix, and I Iove when they work with custom content creators and modders, but both of these needed more content for greater replay ability, and I hate saying that. Great video and good perspective.

love this so mych!

From what ive heard the kit going free is an apology to mac players having to switch to the ea app like the rest of us chumps

Before they go, they need to add a lot of things that were in base game like the sims 3. How you can have robbers enter your house, critters, open world all of that.

0:23 and money jk

I think it’s most definitely going out of business , sims 4 is coming to an end that might still work on putting more things in the sims 4 and even might come out with more stuff packs and stuff until the sims 5 out which will be the new project Rene. We never know though. Lol

Was the cat in love with grim too?

Very cool! 😎 Is it on the gallery?

this is my favorite youve done so far! keep up the great work

You guys are going to laugh at me but I think this could work. Margot Robbie has proved herself as an exceptional producer. Barbie made over $1B and got nominated for Best Picture. With the right team, it can be a successful property. As long as it makes money, they’ll have a franchise.

another amazing video! keep up the great work girly and hope ur feeling better. i remeber u sayin u work full time its very impressive you can upload like u do.
