Get Together changed the way I played because of the club system. I used to just stay on my lot, never go anywhere, never have any friends, just me and family but now I do everything, go everywhere and I have friends!
The club system is one of my favourite additions. I actually made a video about it back in the day because I thought it was cool how creative you could be with it
Well, it is called "Get Together". This is most of the time what I do to, usually just play around the household and not go anywhere. Packs should have a lot of new game features and not just CAS/Build/Buy
Shoutout to my older cousin who gave me The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection code and all her Sims 3 expansion packs when I was 11 years old. I don't know how I would have coped if The Sims 4 was my only option.
Honestly, I’m genuinely surprised that "For Rent" isn’t in the same category as "My Wedding Stories". The rental property system seems like such a great idea in theory, but in practice, it’s a complete mess. Bugs are everywhere, and save corruption is still a major issue; so severe that it can even affect multiple saves, including those unrelated to rental properties. For players who focus on live mode and storytelling, this pack is a literal nightmare!! You spend more time dealing with glitches or trying to work around problems than actually playing. Maybe it works better for builders or those who stick to short live mode sessions, but for everyone else, it’s just unnecessary stress. At its core, the pack just doesn’t work, and after nearly a year without real fixes, it’s hard to recommend it to anyone.
If I've said it once, I've said it a 100 times, Journey to Batuu should have been a separate spin-off game, like Sims Medieval was. They could have expanded on the concept more and they would have sold it better to star wars fans.
Obviously everyone is going to have different options. I don’t think you should have to pay for seasons but I’m also glad it’s not in the base game because seasons is annoying
Unpopular opinion, I love Island Living and Snowy Escape. I pretty much play in Sulani all the time, I just feel like it makes me play a different way when I'm being a native islander, its not even about the mermaids. Before I had seasons, City Living, Snowy Escape, and Island Living were basically my change of pace from the base game suburbia. I basically Hate seasons. The weather is just so badly tuned, especially snow and rain, that it makes it hard to enjoy the various weather events. In general, yeah I think no new sims game (made by Maxis or otherwise) should not have weather in base game, but I find the actual seasons pack for Sims 4 annoying and skippable. I avoided buying it for quite awhile and City Living festivals were enough to have events to go to. I could also visit the beach in Island Living and visit Mt. Komerabi in Snowy Escape at my leisure and not have a planned day ruined by snow or rainstorms in my neighborhood. Seasons also makes gardening annoying. But I finally caved and got it when it was on a super discounted sale and honestly, I would have been fine not getting it. Don't own horse ranch, while I like having cats and dogs, its hard enough to control Sims randomly adopting cats & dogs. I just don't wanna deal with horse over-adopting and Cottage Living provides enough farming gameplay for me.
I’m usually one to get ALL the packs but I REFUSE to get Bust the Dust cause I don’t like the sound of vacuums and the Simtimates Collection cause my sims don’t run around in their underwear. Had the vacuums had some other sounds to choose from like popcorn, crystals or whatever I may have gotten the pack.
@@yippeefarts You CAN NOT buy the Ultimate Collection of Sims2 on disc. You'd have to "sail the 7 seas" to get it. If someone is claiming to be selling the ULTIMATE Collection, then it's a scam. I purchased all the individual Sims 1, 2 & 3 discs and followed the install instructions from 2 different youtubers. I had to install from discs through the laptops admin account though. I have all 3 games working on Windows 11 now. Sims2 was tricky to get working, but I'm so happy I did it.
Love your approach! I used to have almost all DLCs until late 2023 when I change my pc and give my ea account to a friend, for me playing with all that was so overwhelming and 90% of the packs never used daily. Turns out I missed the game and started again (limited dlcs is the goal now). At the moment I only have lovestruck (I’m Brazilian, a Latin pack was essential for me) and want to get a new one, I’m between for rent or life and death. Any suggestions?
I use the ranch pack and cottage farm pack most of all of them I like living off the land I can play for so long with those packs. I love farming simulators so it makes sense. I just think so there so much to do nectar is fun so is canning.

In my opinion seasons, life and death, cats and dogs, high school life, toddlers and universities should all be base game!
True it a life simulator those are all so common to real life they should be free.

You don't have to pay for anything if u just pirate them😂
This was perfectly times for the sales going on now. I know what packs I want to get!!! Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Happy to help!! ❤️
I appreciate how thorough of a breakdown this was, thank you for having many different subcategories!
No problem! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it 😊
Dont feel bad about piracy when its about EA games lol, dont buy shit
You forgot to add that some packs bring glitches and are lack luster. The vibe of a pack doesn’t make it worth it.
I’m new to this so which pack would you say lack luster?

If its just the sound of the vacuums stopping you, you might like the CC brooms if you can get CC.
Bust the Dust is on my 100% no interest in it list.
I have stop wasting money on the sims 4 a year ago I only play the sims 2
how do you play it? is there a version that has all the packs in it?
@@yippeefarts The ultimate collection EA has abandoned the game only way to get it places like ebay that only has disks

This video helped a lot for me to decide which pack to buy, thank you so much! And merry christmas! :D
Merry Christmas!!
Great guide 👍🏾

Can we turn off our pets running away it’s unrealistic when it’s an indoor pet or you have a fence around your yard.
Is instant gaming safe 😅I’m a bit scared
Just tried it yesterday to grab fallout 4 it’s safe
I’m being honest I don’t like cottage living I’m just not a cottage core player , bet my favorite pack is any of the occult packs
Thank god i know how to hack all these dlc 😊
LOL I HAVE 5 OF YOUR FAV
PACKS 😂
Crystal creations, I’ve never been able to get my sims to actually wear the jewelry they create 🤦🏽♀️
