LGR - The Sims 4 Nifty Knitting Stuff Review

- Gameplay and overview of the SEVENTEENTH stuff pack to The Sims 4. What items can sims knit together in their rocking chairs? How does selling on Plopsy compare to Etsy? And is the pack more yawn than yarn, even with a metal radio station? Let's see!

To those asking about reviewing the Star Wars pack...

While disappointing, that's very understandable. I've honestly been wondering how much longer you would hold out on Sims 4 since the My First Pet Stuff pack. No quarrel from me, that's for sure.
As much as I enjoy you saying it sucks, that also means you would have to play it, so I can understand.
I'm sure Ralph appreciates it.
Thank goodness I can afford it to see if its good myself.
Glad I found this comment. Went to check community first to see if you posted something then decided to see if was a comment in last sims video.
Why they didn't create an "Arts and Crafts" or "DIY" game pack is beyond me.
So they can sell people the "Crafty Crochet" and "Puttering Pottery" packs down the line, of course.
This would be so cool, principally seeing how DIYs and crafts are pretty popular nowadays
Yeah including flipping furniture or woodworking! Like diy your bureau or fireplace etc
@@gustavgurke9665 yeah it's not really explored and what you name is pretty basic even as you max ot the skill. As someone who loves woodworking it's like it's not even there.
Because it would require effort.
Despite the fact that this was community voted, it *still* feels like they're running out of ideas.
or the devs arent being paid for their time to fix what's already there, EA is trying to squeeze stuff out without paying the money for the content creators to make it even good :/ I dont blame the devs, I blame whoever's funding them.
Otaking Mikohani yeah they still haven’t thought about bringing cars!!!
Another example that Democracy doesn't equal good by default. If leaders don't offer you good choices to vote between, letting people vote doesn't really matter.
@@irishgiant5150 Vote with your wallets FFS -- EA can get away with all this because who else is offering the same type of product? Maybe Second Life? Honestly I don't know, never played it. But we need someone to make a life sim game with a different formula but the same ideas. Unfortunately nobody seems to think there's enough in that pie for them to go against EA.
Sad thing is there’s so much they could add that wouldn’t have that vibe. And as LGR notes, their packs have a NARROW focus, which especially reinforces the idea that pack ideas are narrow
if they had even just made this an overall stitching pack, with knitting, crocheting, embroidering, and sewing, i would’ve been happier! but JUST knitting?? ridiculous
Yup. all that other stuff will be $10 for each variant. LOL
Yeah. I think he was a little harsh ( to be clear I think Nifty Knitting is way too shallow for $10, but calling it the most pointless add on yet is too much when there are packs like My First Pet Stuff and Laundry Day), but my issue with Nifty Knitting is the implication that if just that one aspect was $10, than the other 4 aspects that were up for the vote would’ve been worth an expansion or more, which is ridiculous. The Sims 2 Free Time gave you 10 hobbies of which a completely fleshed out Arts and Crafts was one, along with 6 new careers, and for $30.
LITERALLY. They already have decorative cross stitch and a decorative weaving loom etc in the buy mode stuff. I LOVE knitting but this isn't even in depth enough with it to feel worth it for me. Most of the knitted objects look like they were sewed or crocheted anyway
That would have been a Game Pack, and the community pretty clearly voted on a Stuff Pack.
Brody Butler That’s the part I don’t get. They literally make a pack solely for knitting that doesn’t even really show knitted objects. The laziness is astounding to me.
Modders work harder than EA.
Oh, way harder. And they're so talented! I have mod bug fixes, because EA won't fix the game
If this was all the content of a knitting mod (aka something you can get for free, which someone with passion made in their free time), it'd be super impressive and cool. But as the product of a whole ass company?! EA. You can do better. We KNOW you can. Stop bullshitting us.
Whims?
Modders won’t even make these kinds of mod because they would be busy completing other features that EA leave out so they can pile the game up with frivolous stuffs that don’t add to gameplay.
The modders are fantastic and the game is unplayable without them.
I like how the channel “Lazy Game Reviews” puts in the most effort into his reviews compared to some other sims channels.
I wonder if they named "Plopsy" after the sound they heard when the crapped this pack out.
OMFG XD
Good one
Remember the days when something like this would have been a minor aspect of a massive expansion in Sims 3? I have no idea how EA gets away with this. Anyway, great video as always LGR.
Sadly a majority of fans on FB and twitter do defend EA on these kind of contents. They thought all the 'haters' simply hate knitting and should just stay silent while we really don't care about it if knitting was part of a bigger game pack / expansion.
Try having constructive criticism on them and they still stubbornly say, "Well, I get what you say but I still love the pack."
Sims 2 freetime had this exact functionality (except it was sewing instead of knitting ) and it was a tiny aspect of that huge expansion pack
@@dodixaverius9176 And they more than likely never played TS3 (or any other Sims game), or were TS2 diehards who hated TS3 for whatever reason.
I actually think the way they did packs in the start was better.
When they added vampires they actually got focused on so they weren't like given just a few abilities they felt like an actual game feature
In sims 3 supernatural none of the supernaturals felt done.
But their content ever since their island paradise clone has completely lacked all sense of the first dlcs they released. I don't know what they are doing now other than thinking their customers are stupid.
@@captainsebt Can't really compare a $20 and $40 pack. If you try, Supernaturals has way more than two times the content of Vampires, ex simsvip.com/sims-3-supernatural-guide/. TS4 vampires is like 12% of the $20 pack while TS3 vampires are like 5% of the $40 pack.
Why knitting? We wanted a SEWING pack with a designer career. The ability to design and customize new clothes in game. This was such a lazy approach
i mean with how little content there is you could have both and it still would be worth 10 bucks. theyre so lazy and i hate that it works because one day i know i will buy this pack
With the antique Singer sewing machine (from around the 1920's) would've been a nice touch to the SEWING pack!
The entire game is a lazy approach
They really could have taken this so far with sewing but fell short. As per usual
The sims team being lazy is honestly a sims 4 cliché at this point tbh
I wonder how "arts and craft" turned into *only* knitting.
Because the voting is rigged
ItsMeZozo no people voted for it
@@ethenthevulpix8517 yeah, but we voted for a wide variety of arts and crafts. NOT JUST KNITTING.
Good Question i am wondering that as well. Arts & Crafting can be also sculpting. I would have loved if this DC was mostly art focused only.
@@thegamingwolf8755 Yeah, It could have been everything from sculpting to quilting to knitting to macrame (haha). When I voted for "Arts and Crafts" I didn't know that meant "Just knitting, nothing else".
The argument of people voting for it - the answer is yes but no, not really.
When he said "None interactive" I was instantly sold, none interactive objects are an instant seller and I'm glad EA knows what the fans want
I don’t think I can live without my non interactive objects
I just love looking at them! It's so much fun, what else could anyone want from a game?
It took 6 years to put clothes on a baby omg
edit: It would be better if they are in a rock same way like in 2-3
And they’re still objects🤷🏼♀️
Nada Talia was JUST gonna say that lol, i hate the babies in sims 4, at least the sims 3 burrito babies were actual SIMS!!
Why can’t we rock the baby in the rocking chair?
xander thats why i play most likely sims 3, i have played that since 2013
6 years. That's the longest there's been a Sims game without a sequel. When is EA going to stop milking it?
You know the sims 4 is getting really bad when you don’t even want to pirate the expansion/stuff/game pack
Lmao I was literally just thinking this. It's not even worth the time. Whatever cute build mode items I like from this, I can find it with better swatches and patterns from a cc creator
I mean what's the point of it now anyway? My computer is pretty shit so I have to think's about every new thing I install. Also, Ea continues to give us the most frustrating crap and I can't believe people still buy these ridiculous packs.
haha why am I laughing? This is the sad truth!
Imagine the new dreadlocks were stolen from a cc creator.
@@aomeke8368 Fuck, Redheadsims didn't deserve this. Thank godess people notice it now. Not the first time Ea did this.
If it makes you feel better, I don't even own Sims4. I just watch to see what fasion trends Duke Nukem is following each week
You are not alone.
i don't understand how there are people who don't own the sims 4
they've literally given it away for free lol
c A quick google search states otherwise, but ok. I have other games I rather use my money on and frankly EA can go fuck itself with all its bullshit.
c I don’t have the Sims 4 because I will never give them money. Even if they released SimCity 6 (which they won’t), and it was actually good (which it won’t be) I would rather get Cities: Skylines 2. C:S is an affordable game with (mostly) good DLCs. EA is such a horrible company, and if people stopped buying overpriced DLCs, either EA will lower the price, or EA will lose too much money.
I got Sims 4 for free, barely play it, and am still disappointed in it, so that tells you a lot.
still upset this won over ghost hunting
IKR WTF -_-
Let's just accept that EA would fuck that one up too, so no regrets.
@A real bisexual petrol-head damn boi your hatred is intense. But seriously tho. I hope there is another decent and better life simulator that can bury the sims.
@A real bisexual petrol-head yeah, I use to have a trashy Toshiba laptop. It was so slow and couldn't handle my sims 3. Neither could any of my HP laptops. The Sims 4 definitely did run alot better on laptops, but I upgraded to a gaming PC. It's a Ryzen 7 and runs greatly. It's like heaven to play the Sims 3 now and ofc the Sims 4. But Sims 4 is damn right boring, Sims 3 over Sims 4 anyday. I'm just hoping if they do release a Sims 5 that it will be just like the Sims 3 but with better graphics and more interactions with other Sims like in the Sims 4. Because the expansion packs and everything in Sims 3 had alot more stuff in it. But I feel like with other Sims there's more interactions. I'd for sure buy the Sims 5 if it has the open world, more stuff and everything in the expansion packs and make it so we can actually play as our pets in it but with the Sims 4 graphics, human interactions and build mode. That shit would be great.
The community is corrupted by knitting 😨
As soon as the stuff pack was released, the main thing I was exited about was the video LGR was going to make about it. The review is worth more than the stuff pack, and the video also provided more enjoyment the knitting would've given me.
And the rocking chairs are fugly
The sims is now Critic fodder
no sims 5 yet? at this point id be ok with a graphic overhaul of the sims 3.
FACTS
right? just give us better access to sims 3, fix the "bug" with the final patch of the game that destroys CC compatibility, and overhaul the graphics and create-a-sim to be like sims 4 and we wont even NEED a sims 5.
Jude Gestalt Also the Build/Buy mode from Sims 4, as well as some minor game improvements like the multitasking and places being busier. People have far more powerful hardware now, so there’s no excuse for not going back to the open world and customisation of Sims 3.
why make a sims 5 when you can keep pumping out no effort packs for sims 4?
i hope sims 4 is the last game cause we all know sims 5 would be even more of a bland cash grab
Counting the days until Paralives comes out and we get a life simulator that doesn't have the soul sucked out of it.
Hopefully Paradox will publish Paralives as they are the real executioner of EA.
Paralives gets cooler with each dev update, I swear. Did you see those frame customisation options? It seems minor but that level of object depth is very, very exciting.
@@Personano133 That's not exciting.
@@DrakorthaProductions It is if you like building things.
@@hoangtannguyenvu4682 it really won’t 💀
Remember when Clint loved the Sims? Objective & had somethings he didn't care for but essentially a fan. They have broken him. Let's hope Sims 5 (if it ever happens now) brings your enthusiasm back fella. 🤔
He still loves the game. That's why he keeps making these reviews.
He can review paralives instead
If EA makes it, it won't be better.
Not if it’s made by EA!! Everything they do is for money. The grand total of the game + all packs is over 700 dollars
we see how they are doing the sims 4 i honestly have no hopes for simms 5 im more interested in what this paralives game will be like.
I love sims, yet even with all the free time I have due to quarantine I haven’t played in weeks. So dry and boring. No opportunity for story making and no personalization. Just drab
The distinction between knitting and crochet is much appreciated by this practitioner of both!
I'm starting to feel sorry that this is what the Sims has become - and that's as an outsider. I wanted to play it when I was younger but could never afford a copy. I played some at a friend's house once, either 2 or 3 but I'm not sure, and I had a lot of fun! But these expansions seem like instead of adding more depth, they're just adding extra surface area. It's like diving into what used to be a big swimming pool of content, but just cracking your head on the floor of a paddling pool.
Just get TS2 or TS3 and you'll be happier. They're both better games than this.
No Pool DLC costs extra.
I think through one or the other bundle I ended up with the sims 3, but I never played it.,
I had a ton of fun with the original which I got as 'the complete collection'
But it speaks volumes about the series as a whole that even that first game, the complete collection is accurate because there wasn't anything released after it...
But it has the base game plus like 8 expansions.
8!
So right off the bat this game series was DLC bait.
But the expansions from back then seemed a little more meaty than these 'stuff packs'...
Let me think...
What was it again? Probably messing up half the names, but whatever.
- Base game.
- House Party
- Pets
- Holiday
- First date
- Makin magic
- Celebrity...
Eh. Too many.
And what has happened to the sequels? It's even worse, of course... XD
Yeah, I never did feel inclined to bother with the sequels...
the only solution to the sims series is firing every single person responsible for taking these decisions (lead designers, game directors, etc), it's absolutely disgusting what they are doing
@@liquidmodernitytasteslikeu2855 I have a feeling it is more an EA money thing than a developer thing. Sims 3 was not nearly as bad if I recall. This feels like EA milking a cow to death.
Just to let you know, the modding community have been working on making the objects that didn't get chosen in the voting rounds, so there'll be a lot more to pick from.
Thank goodness, there are so many cool options the community could have chosen and quite frankly this pack sucks. It's practically laundry day.
When mods exist, how can these packs even be worth developing? How can anyone want them?
@@stitchfinger7678 Many of the mods out there depend on the packs for their functionality
Nice!!
Christian Klan Xbox users I guess
If this was in Sims 3 it would've been a part of an EP with a town and actual content
If this was in Sims 2 it'd have been a small chunk of a stuff pack
If this was in Sims 3, it would've been a Sims 3 Store item available online for some ludicrously large number of SimPoint funbucks (and it'd be anyone's guess how many actual dollars it would cost you). Actually, the knitting equipment would probably only be available as a part of whole venue, like the glass-crafting one they did or the tea-drinking one.
Point is, they've been doing these kinds of low-effort, low-content releases for longer than The Sims 4 has been around, it's just that you'd only notice it if you went to their website and looked. The only new thing about it is that now everything they do is front-and-center in the game menu and gets a trailer. The rest of it -- the price, the absurdly limited scope, the nagging question of "who is this FOR?", well, none of that is new at all.
@Ynouva Sure, but that was The Sims 2. My point is, this has been going on since *The Sims 3*, and the only difference between the Sims 3 Store collections and a Sims 4 Stuff Pack is that the latter gets marketed openly and has a price in actual money ($10, in the US) while the former was easily missed (if you did what everyone did and blocked all internet stuff from TS3) and had a confusing company-store cash-for-SimPoints exchange rate to wrangle with. Other than that, it's the same thing: a feeble smattering of items, maybe one ridiculously narrow and baffling "gameplay" feature that nobody really asked for and which dead-ends almost immediately.
Really, it's how bad the Expansion Packs have gotten that makes me angry. I can ignore a Stuff Pack as easily as I ignored the Sims 3 Store, but there's no way to ignore the fact that a Sims 4 EP has maybe (if we're being absurdly generous) a third of the content that a Sims 3 Expansion did. And yeah, it all runs better and it's mostly integrated into the main game in ways that TS3 just couldn't handle, but good lord, how can they charge 40 bucks for THAT? (yeah, I know, it's because they run half-price sales on EPs every five or six weeks to keep their sales figures up for the EA mothership, but still!)
I'm so mad at how Sims has gone, but once I found out EA had bought out Maxis, it made a lot of sense. EA seems to be the place decent/good games go to die. If Sims 5 comes out, I'm not even touching it because I have a feeling it's going to be some type of online thing with micro-transactions.
Except you'd pay $40 for the town. Let's not forget that Sims 3 was just as shitty in pricing.
Sims 2 had a pack called Freetime, it added a ton of new hobbies, ballet, fixing up cars, pottery, sewing, and more. It had a new system that would increase your points in different interests like sci-fi that would increase if you read books or magazines about it, watched TV, went to club meetings, or did the hobby itself and it opened up new dialogue and other options. It also added a feature that you'd get "in the zone" sometimes when working on your hobby. Google it, you'll be surprised just how much is in there.
"But in my eyes, this is nothing more than another forgettable add-on to an increasingly forgettable game that has far outstayed its welcome", DAMN. I can't disagree with you though, just haven't heard anyone word the state of TS4 so directly, caught me off guard 😆
Maybe we can use this pack to knit Ralph a new body. Poor Ralph.
EA, "Aw... Poor Ralph, we're tearing him apart. Here's our condolence, 10 $ please!"
Moch. Faris Dzulfiqar The Sims 4: Ralph Remembrance Stuff
At least he’s got a digital form now at least.
Knitting pack? What were the other options? "Stamp collecting," "Artisan Jam making," and "Blankly staring off into the abyss," Stuff packs?
Occult pack with a grim reaper career and a tech themed pack that was suppose to made the player able to open and manage a laboratory
Sounds like this was a case of Ironic Troll Votes. Like the whole "Boaty McBoaterson" thing from a few years ago. Jeez...why do I even remember that?
mightyfilm no no, people were serious at the time: many simmers really wanted an "elderly pack" for their sims grannies
I'll take your word for it. Still sounds like a prime thing to troll bomb.
😂 Don’t give EA any ideas!
This is the most pointless stuff pack EA has released yet. This is a clothing/decorations pack with extra steps. Honestly could have been a free update to the base game. Reminds me of swimming pools.
But hey, new chairs.
They want stuff they want but vote for knitting pack wow
new chairs AND Yarny.
This is what the community voted for. Say the game is boring but when they ask what the community wants the majority voted for knitting.. not very exciting.
OMG NEW CHAIRS?
@@dv7605 then complain about the glitches and babies but continue to vote for pointless moddable stuff.
This is why I am sticking with The Sims 3, yes it's old but it feels like they put more thought into that game. The Sims franchise feels like it's dying like Sim City.
Me too
Simcity is already dead.
Sim City died years ago when Cities Skylines was released.
@@DrBigt I know
Paralives is gonna kill Sims 4 like how city skylines killed Sim City and I am so here for it.
You know there's something really wrong when even Sims themselves get bored of those community picks...
Ha! So true.
Next up: The Sims: Whittling! Spend hours almost cutting your fingers off to sell your pointy stick for pennies on Plopsy!
Whittling is more interesting then knitting..
Next we can have a pack that's strictly for shoes. You can cobble boots, sandals, and heels for cash on plopsy.
mind you plopsy DOESN'T EVEN WORK RIGHT lol
Hear me out: a larger Hobbies-type expac (maybe game pack but preferably expac), of which whittling is a small part. Other hobbies could include baseball, rugby, soccer/footie, ballet dancing, tango, 3D animation/game development, 3D printing, sewing, fashion designing, others. This would come with a slew of new personality traits for our Sims, and be paired with a base-game update overhaul to current traits to make them actually impact gameplay.
Haha, who am I kidding? This isn't The Sims 3 anymore. I firmly believe that the gurus are doing their best (most of the time; I'll admit that this pack in particular was underwhelming) but generally their corporate overlords give them very little leeway.
If they’d done an arts and craft expansion pack, this could’ve been one of the activities
I think the reason why people chose knitting was, they hoped that ea might give them better playable elders...
People didn’t vote for knitting particularly. They voted for an Arts and Crafts pack.
The Sims 4 HAS far outstayed its welcome.
EA has outstayed its welcome.
The only reason I want this pack is because of metal music lmao
Until it comes to switch and completely revives and refuses to die like GTA5
@@RaidenUchiha Knowing Nintendo, they wouldn't be that bothered about this. They know their business.
Nah.
I wish metal station was a part of the update because that's the only thing that interests me in this pack
Couldn't agree more! It reminds me A LOT of the Sims 2. Which was a good game. (cries in silent).
Correct me if im wrong, but cant you add your own music to the game soundtrack?
@@Sarah-og3mp I'm a nostalgic! I mean that including any type of music by default remind me of the environment of Sims 2.
I couldn't agree more. The whole stuff pack wasn't my cup of tea, didn't see the appeal. I kind of laughed when the metal radio appeared, because I didn't expect it to be there. But now it is there, I kinda want it. But not the stuff pack. The metal station, combined with some retro 80s and 90s grunge/goth clothing, that would be much better than the knitting. Kind of a Bon Jovi/Twisted Sister kind of stuff pack. Now that's a stuff pack worth the money.
But I guess I just either add the music in the playlist myself, or just play Spotify instead. Doesn't feel the same though.
I'm shocked and appalled that they didn't add Man's Fire from TS2 to the channel.
Watching this just makes me can't wait longer for Paralives. At least if it's not as "polished" as EA's Sims, this indie developer care about their project.
Before your comment, I didn't even knew about paralives. Thank you for that.
same for me. Thank you for showing me the light side of gaming again!
Eh, I've got Animal Crossing now. Oh, and by the way, while it cost $60, at least the monthly updates have been free... I haven't bought anything new since City Living, and even that game disappointed me.
Animal crossing is at least a complete game. Players paid $500 for sims and the game still lacks depth and feels like an incomplete game.
I play mmo’s which rely on cash shops or expansion packs similar to sims 4 and those games don’t feel so barebones.
Thank you so much for your comment! I didn't even know about Paralives it looks amazing
Instead of ridiculous stuff packs like this, we need an extension for “Get to Work.” I love the idea of being able to play as a cop, Scientist or doctor...it’s my favorite expansion to date. but what about as an Athlete, fireman or criminal? Add burglars back into the game! This stuff pack could have easily been a monthly update, not a $10 money grab
THIS is the pack they decided to finally bring metal to the radio stations with? Ugh...
Right? Knitting isn’t a “metal” activity. I kind of feel like they added the metal radio station with this pack as a joke and also so they could say: “stop asking for this station, here you go.” Like if you are going to add a radio station with a pack at least have it be a pack where it makes some kind of sense.
@@Gameoverstudios I get that it's a reference to "Heavy Metal Knitting", but as someone who wants a Metal station in the game and has no interest in knitting, it's just fucking annoying.
i was hoping it was a free patch but i have to get this shit if i want metal on the radio? ugh
@@user-ey6lq9qe3n Metal as a whole always being treated as a joke, The addition of it almost feels passive aggressive
Everytime something gets released for Sims 4 it just shows how far we haven't come from Sims 3 or even Sims 2. I'm glad I still have The Sims 2 discs still for whenever I feel like playing The Sims.
You're forgetting that sims 3 charged like $10 to have pizza ovens as a standalone item right
@@purplevoncreep9920 I never said Sims 3 was good. Personally I'll only play Sims 1 & 2 if I want sims. I just said Sims 4 really hasn't progressed as a game compared to the previous installments
Purple Voncreep True, but at least their expansion packs had a lot of effort in them. Some had so much in it that it broke the game (ie. Island living)
@@janethebluemouse island living was poorly optimised it didn't break because it had to much stuff lol
I took up knitting myself some time ago and lemme tell you - its way more interesting than any thing this has to offer
Indeed, actual knitting is pretty awesome.
The $10 is better spent picking up the hobby irl than buying this.
Agreed. I wanted the craft room decor for building more than the game play. The metal station was a nice touch though.
Can't wait for Paralives! Good riddens EA.
Now prepare to cough up $10 to crochet things... called "Cool Crochets"
And if you give up the $20 total you can knit and crochet unique projects together that you can't get if you don't have both packs
Why do I have a bad feeling that the sims 4 is gonna have around 30 stuff packs?
Because this is the 17th stuff pack and they're half-assing all of them
Stuff Packs are no longer stuff packs, they’re the equivalent of Sims 3 plethora of micro transactions that are callled packs to make them sound more necessary than they actually are. I got pretty much all of my stuff packs on sale and for 6 or 7 of them I didn’t even bother to get even on sale.
Sims 3s store has over $1000 of content, sims 4 isnt even at like the $200 mark yet of "stuff packs"
I feel like The Sims needs a competitor to take it's life simulator crown, just like how City Skylines took over from Sim City.
There is! I believe it's called Paralives?
@@murphhhhhhh Yep!
But itll take 3 years of complaining how its different before the game actually takes its majority share.
* in walks paralives *
@@murphhhhhhh Nice! I hope LGR decides to cover it.
I can’t believe the community voted for this what were the other options the watch paint drying pack?
self care and embroidering. The rest are somewhat even "worse" options. They're really running out of ideas for stuff packs
@@mewletter maybe it's time for The Sims 5
To be fair, the community mostly voted for arts and crafts thinking it would be like the sims2 free time expansion..
There was an option with creating a grim reaper career!!!
i think most of us who voted for arts & crafts were hoping for, well, a full arts & crafts pack ala ts2 freetime, but ea are greedy ghouls
“Knitted by Duke Nukem” is a sentence I never expected to read.
Are you ready for when EA decides to create "The Sims 5" and literally remove every single piece of content to turn it into DLC? It's kinda odd. A new game in "The Sims" franchise always has less content than its predecessor. And during its lifetime, it never gets as much content as the previous one, or gets way too boring and lacking stuff for a long period of time. Just waiting for a game that does to The Sims what Cities Skylines did to SimCity: force them to start innovating and taking the developers off their comfort zones.
fast-forward to 2025 when people vote to include nifty knitting as a stuff pack in sims 5.
also, isn't sim city dead?
If anything, Cities Skylines turned out worse than Sim City; Paradox aren't much worse than EA when it comes to their DLCs (hell, they pretty much have stuff packs in CS now). At least Sim City 2013 only had one DLC.
@@maxperrins8878, one horrible DLC, by the way. Also, you don't need DLC in Cities Skylines. Are you really saying that Paradox is WORSE AS EA? Mod support, huge maps, single-player only, optional DLCs that aren't required for the base game, better performance. Oh well, I guess they really are worse than EA.
Since when did I say they're worse than EA? They're nowhere NEAR as bad as them, but still the C:S IP isn't in very good hands.
Also since when are C:S' DLCs optional but TS4's aren't?
Or worse, they might make it into an online cash grab and you need to pull packs for clothings and furnitures.
Honestly at this point I'm ready to see the Sims die. One day another life simulation will rise.
I feel like it says a lot about the quality of the game when I look forward more to the LGR video than to an expansion pack itself.
Honestly, every stuff pack The Sims have made could have been apart of an expansion or game pack. (For example ice cream maker, popcorn machine, laundry machines, and water slides could have gone in parenthood instead of three stuff packs. This one could have gone into ecoliving)
Soon enough they're gonna have "Deflated Football Stuff Pack", "Homeopathy Stuff Pack", "Broom Stuff Pack", and "Terminal Illness Stuff Pack".
I really trust LGR's reviews about the Sims, I've been watching since sims 3 days. I also love that EA used to send him the packs but then stopped bc he's actually honest about saying they suck lol
Thank you LGR, for another good and honest review. You're the only Sim reviewer I can stand to watch or support.
so basically its $10 for a 'stuff pack' that allows you to knit and sell on a website name parody of etsy wow real creative there.
Can't wait for his reaction to the Star wars pack..
Amazing review as always! Unfortunately the only thing this stuff pack does is make me excited for creators converting some of this objects to sims 3
"Community voted pack"
There are so many things missing from this game. Really who voted for this crap?
Nobody. EA is known for constantly narrowing the scope of packs as people vote for them. People only voted for knitting as opposed to the other half assed options because it was at least still a shadow of what they voted for: Arts n crafts
people voted for arts and crafts but as always they can only do one single thing instead of giving us a full fledged pack.
community voted packs simply don’t work in my opinion, i think it would be very interesting to see the breakdown of the actual results. what percentage of the community actually voted for this? the number could easily be under 50% so long as it had the highest number, so theres a very high chance the majority of the community DIDN’T vote for knitting
Gaaawd the color palette of all the objects and knitted stuff it's nauseating.
I'm on the edge of my seat for LGR's review of the sims 4 journey to batuu game pack. Sometimes, disasters can bring little moments of joy.
He said he might not even do it on twitter
As a yarn craft person, I want this and would enjoy this. But this should've just been an update. Thank you for the review LGR!
Can't wait until the stuff packs section on the title screen gets so long you need an arrow to scroll through it
As a knit-wit like myself, I thoroughly enjoy this pack very well! Not only it embraces my love of knitting, but it also embraces with my soft spot for metal music!
Just wanted to say that LGR is one of my favorite TH-cam channels. Thanks for keeping me entertained, Clint!
Still angry we didn’t get happy haunts 😔 I was so ready to be the grim reapers assistant lmao
Heavy Metal Knitting Championship feels like something that would've originated in Portland.
Oh I can’t wait to see his reaction to this new Star War pack they had the audacity to put out! If he even reviews it that is. We know LGR is a real honest gamer who isn’t on EA’s payroll. So if he doesn’t review it because he doesn’t want to waste his hard earned money I won’t fault him.
Seriously, I had to think which Pack came after knitting. I could not remember, even when I was hyped for Star Wars. Just so bad executed:(
"This is nothing more than another forgettable add-on to an *increasingly forgettable game that has far outstayed its welcome* "
Damn, LGR did not hold back this time.
As of now I am literally just waiting for a Sims 3 Comeplete Collection release. Thankful that I was able to get Sims 2 Complete Colletion some years back.
"nothing more than another forgettable addon to an increasingly forgettable game that has far outstayed it's welcome"
THANK YOU. lilshillsie and shilligracy are shaking in their licked-clean boots.
I've noticed I've stopped following a lot of the Simmers I used to watch when they became game changers; they act like these packs are amazing, when they aren't. They may make a video about how Sims could be better, but it's usually still excusing EA and making a case for shitty packs and a bad base game. I mean, they cheered for firefighters, like that was something actually new.
@@BooDotBoo I was never able to get into Simmers post TS3 for that reason. They would praise and overhype every. single. thing. in that trademark "TH-camr voice", and I just felt like a lot of them were/are enabling EA for free copies of the game or whatever other perks they may get for being recognized in some form by EA's marketing department.
I remember when it seemed like EA/the Sim Gurus were trying to "buy off" LGR by giving him free access codes for a while. Like they wanted him to change his tune. When that didn't work they stopped.
I'm sure it's worked with other Simmers though. And now EA has some reality TV show planned based off of Simmers competing for shit in real life.

'Made possible by EA gamd changers'
I love to watch Simsie’s build videos, they always inspire me and I sort of like her personality. Unfortunately, the vibes of her content have definitely changed since she became a game changer. It’s a shame what getting free stuff does to a person...
Still better than Deligracy. I just get the vibe that she’s faking every bit of it.
@@BooDotBoo you realise lgr literally used to be a game changer right?
The sims team ABSOLUTELY doesn't just rig the polls so they can just make the cheapest pack types possible
Everything is fine, everything is fine.
I've pretty much accepted the fact that The Sims 4 will never be what any of us want it to be. No matter how much we complain and demand differently.
You are very beautiful
@@distortion7465 Aw thank you for saying that. I appreciate it :)
@@distortion7465 Too bad we can't say the same thing for the state of the game.
@@SirFaceFone paralives will be better
I actually thought the metal track they included was pretty good. Knowing that there is metal knitting event blew my mind.
It's so incredibly 'meh'. I mean WHY? Hard to believe they are still doing this. We should have had Sims 5 long ago. This is just like throwing glitter at poop & hoping people don't notice. In fact call it "Glitter-Poop Stuff" & have done it with it! 😉
Yummy
100% agree. Sims 4 started out as trash and still is cuz you can't polish a turd. With that I mean is you can't make a game better with x amounts of add-ons if the base game is still crap!
He just has such a way with words that’s so clever that makes these reviews so interesting. Idk how he does it
what a shame sims team
Don't you mean, "Shame on you, Sims team"?
I'm breaking up with sims 4....i just can't anymore. This relationship is dead. Goodbye 👋
I took part in this vote, and while I'm happy there is knitting in the game, I do think that 'Arts and Crafts' needed to be a game pack, not a highly specific stuff pack focused on one specific crafting skill. Stage One of voting had so many diverse ideas that would all have been way more suited to a Game or expansion pack. Stuff packs really should be reserved for little ideas that have a broad use for them in the game (i.e. I do think that the Laundry stuff pack was a better fit for a stuff pack - you wouldn't want a whole expansion about Laundry, and there's not much you could expand on with that. It fits nicely into a stuff pack without being something too specific.)
Knitting is very cool and I'm thrilled with it...but I think I would have appreciated it more if it was in a game pack along with jewelry making and glass-blowing and sculpture-making, and all the other neat craft hobbies we could have had, all in one expansion/pack.
Yours is the only sims pack reviews I ever watch or care about. Thanks for having a smooth voice and a solid outlook 💜
You may not see this but I really wanna thank you for your expansion, pack, and stuff reviews it really good above and beyond and it really helps me get an amazing idea of what I can do and you have helped me save my money on something I thought I would like but end up not im definitely subscribing
Knit like you never have knitted before! Only $10!
..."Why?"
Ah, yes, knitting, just what we all wanted!
0:15 $9.99 for a pack that only adds knitting?!?
I think they're 'stringing' us along somewhere.
i wrote off sims 4 and ever giving EA another penny ever again, but I still really enjoy your reviews.
How about an actual expansion to make the game fun? Sims 2 still more fun in my opinion.
That entire voting list could have been one stuff pack. Maybe even free
This looks so damn lame. I hate Sims 4. It tanked the series and continues to. Back to Sims 3 which is actually fun.
I liked Sims 3 the most, if it wasn't so badly optimised and had better graphics and bugs fixed.
Yup, I uninstalled Sims 4 and went back to Sims 2 (would've gone for ts3, but my poor notebook can't handle it), I can shamefully say that I'm having more fun than I've ever had with sims 4.
I'll go back to the sims 1 and 2 that's actually fun for me lol
If only the Sims 3 could be run by anything other than a NASA super computer.
@@TheDoctorfat LMAO! For real...
Sitting here waiting patiently for you to react to their garbage Star Wars pack-
I wish he would make a new Sims4 "rant" video like he did the "Sims 4 two years of meh"
Clint, you can stop! Don’t feel the need torture yourself with endlessly more ridiculous Sims 4 packs for our entertainment.
And stop he did
I think this should've been an update rather than a stuff pack.
Thanks for going through these stuff packs for us, Clint. That way we don't have to 🤪
I give up im done with the sims 4 this is ridiculous the sims 4 is a shameless cashgrab they distroyed one of my favorite franchizes the sims 4 is garbage and its just getting worse and worse with every new pack they release
Yeah I stopped playing 4 ages ago. This is not going to bring me back.
Yeah...i stopped playing the sims 4 and honestly I don’t really miss it. This sim series is a joke compared to the previous ones, it’s so boring. Why cant they end the series already😩
But I don't understand... you don't have to buy the packs. Just get what interests you when it's on sale
I’m waiting for paralives to come out before even considering opening the sims 4 again.
@@kekelauren6251 That's what a few people are doing, except those of us who quit already.
You're the only hands down sims reviewer that I watched and I waited for you to upload this!!!
I just watch a review of this pack where the reviewer said "we finally got what we voted for" uhmmm no, we voted for arts and craft, not this.
Laundry and knitting pack should have come with eco living, but knowing ea..... I kept buying new packs in hopes that the gameplay will improve but it never does, it's getting frusting. I'm happy I was able to download sims 2, the graphic's not good compared to sims 4, but the storyline for each family is really enjoyable
I'm still vaguely salty that this is the SECOND time people have passed up on a 'dangerous' themed pack...
Knowing EA, dangerous would have been having a pet snake and tarantula that might bite you every now and again or something. At this point, I don't think EA will ever make a pack the right way.
Okay, so I didn't dream that! Why would people pass that up? I would vote for that just to see what EA's idea of dangerous is in the Sims 4 world.
Since they have been trying to make the Sims more "kid and family friendly" with each passing generation, I could only imagine how comical it would be. Maybe they would include slipping on a banana peel, yet you couldn't buy bananas in game.
extreme violence mod says hi
My city is under the rage of the sun and those are the hottest day ever. Even if this is the sims i cant help but get angry looking at this kind of clothing
It's a bit sad that people are hyped over this. Like TheKieranator mentioned, this would have been part of a bigger arts and crafts/hobbies expansion in previous sims games
I love your casual style of reviewing. So on the nose and funny!
When I started a rags to riches let's play in Eco Lifestyle, I thought I'd be killin' the game by selling my infinite supply of clay, but I suppose I could pay $10 to have my sims get rich off Plopsy...sounds like a boring way to make money though. Can't believe they put in cross-stitching decorations but didn't even add that as a new hobby...or sewing? Or the ability to knit graffiti anything & everything? But at least we have disproportionately shaped rocking chairs.
well in sims 3 we had the store where you could list items and it would get sold.
like Etsy but not online.
Graffiti aren't added with city Living and Discover University?
@@elia9188 I meant to say..yarn bombing. In University, you can only yarn bomb the university's statue. In City Living, there's no yarn bombing, but there is graffiti art so long as you have that outline.
And we get to buy it all over again for The Sims 5.
All I can think of is the Sims 2 FreeTime expansion that added 10 complete hobbies and a ton of other awesome features, vs this $10 stuff pack that's just knitting... with that logic these days EA would have us pay well over $100 for a pack like FreeTime.
So the best addition to this pack for me is the metal station. Oh man, I missed it since the sims 2.
Yeah, "Community Voice", right...
They should have done a colour wheel addition, or choosing rgb codes and people may be happy to pay $10 :P . I haven't stopped playing the Sims 3 as it's far better than the Sims 4 in my opinion.
I love how you describe expansions and packs clearly expressing your discontent without affecting my judgement on the pack... This is a good way to get to know the pack and decide for myself. Thanks. And I think I will get this one by the way ;)
