I think the only reason Windenburg was so big was because it was a scrapped base game world, they had more to work with. Sadly the tiny worlds onwards seem the norm
I don't even know why we consider Windenburg "big" in the first place 😔. Compared to what other games and even earlier Sims games did, having 20 lots in a "world" is tiny. But of course it's double the size of most of the other Sims 4 worlds which are just embarrassingly tiny. Wish EA would actually care about making the best Sims game possible instead of making excuses why this game can't get larger worlds 😔
It is especially sad when you compare it to Sims 3. The worlds added with expansions were so big, detailed - with many built lots, houses, so many families. Each world had library, gym, bars, parks. You couldn't travel between the worlds, so they had to put big effort to each new one they created. Nowadays the option to travel to various worlds in Sims 4 is a plus, but they are so small, it feels like an excuse.
For those who are wondering where Cindy is, check her Tumblr. She has decided to leave TH-cam and the Sims community permanently. I will miss you and your videos Cindy. Best of luck to you.
I don’t know if you will ever see this but Cindy I hope you are doing ok. I hope I don’t trigger any hurt or memories from this but never feel like you are a terrible person or like you did something wrong. People are just pure evil in this world and love to target good people on the internet who they don’t share the same opinion with or just being hateful to. I’m sorry that you have to deal with this and all the awful comments you’ve received during your TH-cam career. You are the queen of the sims community and you have brought back so much life to this franchise. It’s totally fine if you can’t handle the TH-cam spotlight. It’s not for everyone but don’t ever think you have to apologize for being a good person. You are not cancelled because a good person can’t be canceled. You will be remembered for being a bright, funny, great person and not no bully. I hope you have a great life. I wish you the best of luck and all that you deserve. If you ever decide to stream again, we will be here to always support you. We love you and we wish you all of the greatest!
I do not even know where to begin with this. Cindy, I discovered your channel back in 2019. I was a miserable college freshman. I stumbled across your channel one fateful night and have loved it ever since. Your videos got me through the roughest time of my life. After a long, sad day, I would go back to my dorm to cheer myself up with some Pleasantview videos. Your videos gave me something to look forward to. I can honestly say I have loved all of the content you created, from LPs, to reviews, cook-with-me's, and vlogs. You have been a light in my life and I hope you can heal from this. Thank you for everything.
We love you Cindy ! ❤️ You literally didn’t do anything wrong !!! People just love to twist things around and spread misinformation, it’s crazy. I’m sorry that the nobodies infiltrating this community have tried to bring you down. The vast majority of us are all sending you love and support forever and always ❤️ I hope you soon receive the stability and happiness you deserve however that may be ! God bless you Cindy ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sad rn :/ I was missing Cindy and did not know anything about what had happened... so I searched and found her goodbye. Internet is so mean. I was an TH-camr for a small period of time and did not have more than 500 subscribers to my channel, and still I had haters. No one is immune to mean people, and they feel so strong behind a screen -.- I too hope she can recover from this and I hope she's happy. I'm sending lots of love to wherever she is and I pray she's doing good
@@astrale-l3n Ye it’s a shame she’s not apart of the sims community now but at least she has a vlog channel on the side and it’s great😁😁 she hasn’t posted in a few weeks but she went on a vacation and seemed to have been doing better after what happened which was so good to see
What I would’ve improved: • A LOT more lots •more animals like pigs, sheep’s and goats •our animals (not only the chickens“ being able to have babies and our animals also ageing •being able to have the bunnies as official pets •horses. Yes, horses aren’t real farm animals but they would fit to the world and setting and another big neighbourhood ONLY for the horses and to ride them would’ve been so cool. Also being able to choose if you want the horse to live on your lot (if you live at the countryside and maybe even have a Farm) or owning the horse but the horse lives in a stable in this neighbourhood •fairies, GOOD fairies and/or werewolves, GOOD werewolves
Just as long as they don't have horses attached to barns and yes they are real farm animals lol. I loved them in TS3 and how you could ride them anywhere!! I miss open world play so much.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 actually horses aren’t real farm animals. A farm is a place where you can harvest sth, vegetables but also animal products like eggs or milk. You don’t get that from a horse. Most farms don’t have horses, but some do
I agree with the number of lots part. I hate how The Sims 4 worlds are kinda empty. I'm an occult player and would love to make Forgotten Hollow a complete city with many families, nightclub, library, retail business, park... But it only has FIVE LOTS.
Not to mention, the one starter home in Midnight Hollow is terribly designed. It's like the one starter home in Britechester, where it's skinny and full of empty space.
I'm an occult player too and this irks me so much. Nightlife from ts2 was my favorite expansion until ts3 supernatural blew it out of the park. Sims 2 is sill my main babe but ts3 supernatural is just unbeatable.
I'm glad that this expansion is positive. I see myself as a huge sims fan anytime you talk about the Sims 4 issues I feel your pain wholeheartedly, it's a game I'm desperate to like but there is so much more to improve on. Seeing how Carls (as in Carl's Sims Guide) improved the game so quickly with his difficulty mod has amazed me further.
That is such a great way to say it. I am also desperate to like this game, but it just never delivers what I think a Sims game should. There always seem to be good features in the expansions and game packs, but overall the game is still disappointing. I have fun with it from time to time (with the help of mods), but it hurts because I know it could be so much better. I am excited to try out Carl's mod very soon!
@@PleasantSims it is defo frustrating of having to use mods to benefit it it’s like the sims rely on them they do the base and mods add the depth I hope that makes sense but then what about people on console I was one for about a year until I became fed up for sims with no mods but then also the speed on the PS4 don’t even get me started on that lol 🤦♀️😁💖 xx
I think the problem is that the "shortcuts" the game devs take are too obvious and noticeable. The recycled meshes and the lack of animations is a flaw that is visible on the game. Every game dav takes _shortcuts_ either to improve performance or reduce crunch but when you have a game that continues to be updated it's a mystery that some of these issues haven't been fixed.
You did nothing wrong people just like to take any little thing people say and run with it, you dont deserve to be cancelled you did nothing wrong. I hope you take a much needed break for your mental health. I hope you come back in the future Cindy. Until then, Thank you so much for all of your entertaining & helpful videos on the sims. On behalf of most of the sims community thank you & know we are supporting you.
Just wanted to say I'm missing you so much Cindy. I hope all the time you'll come back. It's hard to say how much your videos and your vlogs meant to me. You really inspired me, and I hope that whatever you're doing now is bringing you peace.
I honestly don't understand what the fuss is over. It was innapropriate thing to say, but mildy. And the fact that people say she talked about a child, when the girl is 17.... I couldn't help but laugh.
Hey Cindy! Following all of the things that has happened, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to making the sims 2 community the way it is! You have given so many simmers recourses that we wouldn’t have been able to find or know about if you didn’t put in the time and effort you did, simply making our simming experience endlessly fun. Though your Twitter is no longer active, I want you to know how many people are in support and are fighting for you against these false accusations. I also want to say how much I enjoyed being apart of your discord and the amazing amazing community that never failed to put a smile on my face. I believe you can come back soon stronger then ever and continue to do the simple yet great things you do! 💙💚
@@lala-4458 I can't imagine Cindy doing anything so wrong for people to say mean thing's to her. She's literally the sweetest and most normal girl. I love her personality.
@@Sejjin She has quit streaming. She was getting a lot of mean comments and false things being said about her. Edit: She is also taking a break from TH-cam and quit social media for now. If you go to her channel, she explains on her community tab.
You may never read this, but I needed to say this. I left the Discord server the other day simply because I never got into Discord at all and wanted to clean up. The invite doesn't work anymore, so I'll write it here. I just read your Tumblr post. I'm shocked at what happened, I have no words, and I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling. The person who did this to you has no conscience. You are my favorite Sims TH-camr, and that will never change, even if you never come back - which I understand, but it devastates me. You are an incredibly kind person. Please never think that you aren't. If you ever decide to come back after all - be it soon or a few years down the line, be it on this channel or on your second - know that you have my full support.
I’m from Britain and a complaint I have is, that we don’t eat Yorkshire puddings on their own! They usually come with a big English roast, I feel like they could’ve added a roast dinner into the game, with maybe lamb as the meat.
They probably didn't want to have kids traumatized by animal in the farm - animal in the dinner you're eating. I'm not even vegetarian, but that can be a big "omg no" moment for a kid. I can see the sims team avoiding that as the source of possible issues and complaints.
@@lauragoreni3020 this is why sims games should be rated teen or something. The amount to content being ignored or removed because of "concerns" is annoying. They already have woohoo and having babies through woohoo in the game with no details shown, so I'm sure they can do that with animals turning into food items off screen. 🤷♂️ idk otherwise the chickens and cows are just for eggs and milk or just make all Sims vegetarian if they're so worried about that (thus removing every meat dish in the game) but this EA after all 😐
Apparently she got canceled or something and she’s leaving the Sims community I don’t know what happened literally everyone just keeps saying she made a Tumblr or a Twitter but they don’t actually give the links
I hope you will come back sometime, you managed to bring back Sims 2 in a form that most people left a long time ago, let's plays. I know people can be very exhausting and the situation you got in was very bad but people are still here for you. Well, whatever choice you decide on I just hope it will make you happy
Cindy, I'm so sorry for everything that happened. You don't deserve it. I will never be able to thank you enough for teaching me how to play rotationally. I was never able to catch a live stream because I never got up early enough but your kindness and heart are amazing. I hope you consider taking an extended break and come back later in the year or next. Don't let terrible people get you down. Either way I wish you the best in your life and hope that you'll do amazing in whatever you do!
Cindy, my favorite part about my day used to be coming home from work, getting stoned, and watching your lets plays. As stupid as that sounds, that’s what made me really happy. Your Sims 2 content was always interesting even though it’s such an old game. I’m sorry somebody went out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I can’t believe such a silly situation was blown out of proportion. I hope one day you will return to the sims community because you are sorely missed!
I always have a mod in the Sims 3 where I have to have the ingredients for the food I cook. I love how realistic it is. Now going grocery shopping hast a sense
I just wanted to thank you Cindy, I've always loved the sims games especially the sims 2 and because of your videos I have a fully working game that looks and plays better than ever. Thank you for keeping this nostalgic masterpiece alive, I love your videos they are so helpful and your commentary is so funny
Glad you finally tried the pack! And congrats on the sponsor! From someone who doesn't care about farming, I was pleasantly surprised by this pack and ended up playing with it for months, which was crazy for me! And even now, I still use elements of the pack for nearly every family. Also for the oversized crops - size depends on fertilization, so you can end up with massive 1-crop-per-plot pumpkins, etc. which is fun!
I havent played with the lactose intolerance trait, but glad to see it has a way of warning you that you're clicking on an unsafe item. I am sick of vegetarian sims eating meat autonomously and occasionally I'll forget myself when I'm juggling multiple sims. It should definitely add something for clicking on items that contain meat
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Horses deserves their own pack! ;) I really hope they get us some horses pack in Carribean island vibe, where you can growth sugar cannes, corns and wheat... and you guessed it, you can grind grains on a grain mill motored by your horses, and sugar cannes to make sugar and flour! That way they would tie horses with simple living and would make a use of horses other than competitions/riding/transportation uses. I really would like something like that and of course there would be riding competitions, a skill to train horses etc... They could even go into and make horses tied with an brand new occult, centaures... that would also be very cool imo, but I prefer the first idea I just mentionned.
I’m assuming the main reason they weren’t in the pack is because the majority of Pig use is for meat, but then again truffle pigs do actually exist so I don’t know then
This packs has so many things that I love: 1- Wild foxes 2- Old married gay couple ... That's it. But It was enough for me to get it. If future packs are gonna be like this or better then we are finally going in the right direction.
The reason you can only plant one type of plant on the new plots is that the better you grow the plants, the bigger each gets, so the plants get thinned (uproot some plants) and you keep the biggest ones..the bigger the crop, the more space it needs :)
It's more like real life gardening..when you grow large crops you plant a lot then only keep the best plants. Thinning out the smaller weaker plants gives more space and more nutrients to the best plants and so you increase chances for even bigger crops
I agree with your review fully! I also like that you get quests from villagers that take time and effort to complete! Playing has been fun, and it makes me hopeful for future expansions and refreshes!
i miss u cindy!! loved ur content and ur pesonality, you didnt do anything wrong its so disgusting that people make any excuse to vilify someone they dont like, but you have so many supporters of you i hope you know you made a lot of people happy with ur presence 🌟
Hey Cindy! I know you’re leaving but I wanted to let you know if you check the sims 2 subreddit many of us favor you and you will be missed. Do whatever you need to, but just know you still have people who support and care for you. I hope things get better for you
I hope you are doing okay Cindy, I really really miss you and hearing about your life and how you are. Of course i miss your content too, but there wouldn’t be content without you!! I have watched your pleasant view let’s play more times than i can count and i will continue to watch it, just because you aren’t here online doesn’t mean we will stop supporting you in everything you do. I’m sending the warmest hugs and best vibes x
this reminds me, wanted to tell you that i got the new update. My neighbours keep calling me several times a day, asking to have babies, raises, switch jobs etc. Several a day!
Yep 🥴 Plus im getting calls from my own house hold, If I'm at another lot with my sims. My parents called me and asked if they should have children, when I was at The gym
Cindy I never write any comments nor was I active during your livestreams. I understand your feelings as I feel very similarly about mistakes I made in the past, for doing some not so nice stuff to people and I feel so bad about it. But things will get better. You and you alone are in charge of your feelings and do NOT let anyone get you down! Tell yourself it’s all gonna be okay, this helped me too during the dark times in my head. We, your fans, support you! You’re NOT canceled! I’m sure the majority of your fans have no clue of what was going on. Take your time. I hope you come back one day. ❤️ Yours truly, S.
i don't know if you'll ever see this cindy, but i just want to say that you didn't deserve this "controversy" at all, and i wish you the best in your life from here on out. i'm not a super dedicated viewer lately but in early 2021 you were kinda my comfort creator (on your stream channel especially) during a really rough time in my life when i just needed something to latch on to. thank you so much and, once again, best wishes!
I feel like they got scared after they made get to work and there was too many parts they tried to add so they have stripped way back with the expansions lol
Personally the main thing I think this pack lacks is the ability to do everything yourself. The pack wants to focus on the living off the land gamestyle which is alright thats the theme. So I should be able to make the flour myself, make the bread myself etc etc
@@NitroIndigo Right? We should have gotten 2 options to make those products, maybe like a windmill for eco-friendly sims and a machine for the people who want something better looking. Could use them both for things like flour and sugar.
The oversized crops are so dis-jointed from the normal crops, in a way that's pretty jarring I think it would've made more sense if the oversized crops were something that could happen if you planted 4 of the same normal crop in a planter and took good care of them
Cindy I always enjoy watching your honest reviews! I was going to wait until the pack was on sale to purchase it but I couldn’t wait so I actually got it shortly after the release date. I personally really enjoy this pack and love that content from other packs (Eco lifestyle and nifty knitting for example) work really well with it. I made a family where they are living on a farm and sell everything they make/harvest on their lot (using a home business mod of course haha) and that’s how they make their income. It’s a lot of fun. I also love the simple living lot trait!
Just an FYI they patched in the cross stitching like/dislike hobby a few days ago, on the 17th I think. It didn't come with the pack on release, typical of EA to release half baked content
5:33 after the release of Get Together, one of the devs actually declared officially (on Twitter I suppose) that they were not going to include as big worlds anymore due to performance issues or some other stuff. Basically, my point is they didn't try to hide it or avoid this issue - they just said they're not gonna do it anymore.
I've never seen that Tweet. Do you happen to have a link or remember who tweeted it? I don't think they tried to hide or avoid it. I just assumed it wasn't an issue they even considered.
You're not cancelled Cindy. These people like to judge others like they're perfect and never said dumb, hurtful stuff in their lives! But the big diference between an asshole and a normal human being is that the normal ones EVOLVE, they learn from their mistakes and grow and u did just that. You'll forever have my support.
Cindy, I wish you the best. Social media is toxic and I'm trying to get away from it myself (youtube is chaining me down alooot) You've done so much for the sims community, especially sims 2, and your the main reason why I'm so into the game now. Please be well and don't let the haters get to you anymore.
Hi Cindy! I quite enjoy Cottage Living, so about the milk with Lactose intolerant Sims, you can take any crafted items and sell them at the grocery/garden stalls in town!! It'll help make your Sim more money especially if they don't have a job. Hope this helps :) also Veggie treats make cows produce "mighty plant milk" lol.
So excited to see your outlook on this! Personal experience: I was very eager to play with Cottage Living, but the overall abundance of boredom I feel with the Sims 4 gameplay just didn't let me have fun at all. Which is a pity. Also, the small number of lots in the new world, and the absence of interesting characters/lore just makes the whole thing so much weaker than, say, Sims 3 Pets with Store content.
finally getting some honest thoughts on this! I enjoyed the expansion in parts, but really was disappointed with the fairs. Like really, 9pm start? no m'am.
Out of all the simmers on youtube you are my favorite. I really enjoy your content. As per your user name, you seem very pleasant. Thanks for all of these great videos.
@@Yas-ji8oj Largou tudo pq "vazou" umas conversas abertas no Discord dela onde ela tava incomodada com o comportamento de uma menina menor de idade, postando selfies e pa, daí depois descobriram que a menina é do espectro autista. Típico assunto que as pessoas só se importam quando estão na internet. Ela já admitiu que errou no Tumblr dela, mas não aguentou o estresse de todo mundo reclamando, daí não quer mais participar da comunidade.
@@LorikQuinn poxaa, eu adoro o conteúdo dela, um dos únicos bons sobre o ts2, mas ela já vinha saturada das redes faz um tempo, tomara que ela fique bem e volte logo
EXACTLY! Ive said that too, that expansion packs in sims 4 doesn’t expand gameplay. For me personally, an expansion pack should still be good WITHOUT the world as well. So thats how I personally rate expansion packs. In total we have like 2 full expansions and 3 half-assed expansion: which are in descending order: -Seasons -Eco lifestyle -Cats and dogs -Discover University -Get to work (Still extremely bad and lacks any meaningful content) (Get famous fits the criteria but the low amount of content doesn’t differentiate it from a game pack)
I would love to see more info of Crumplebottom across the sims series :) I’m so thankful for your back to back uploads. Back in the day of regularly scheduled tv, this would be what I’d love to tune into every week. God. Such horrid times. Life before streaming videos. Lol waiting a week for the next episode of anything.
Cindy you shouldn't scroll down comments till you find a mean one just to feel bad. They can't and shouldn't hurt you. It's just brain suggestion. Once you're out of the internet one feels better, but for some reason when you open your laptop you feel as if you're going into a warzone. Yet this bad comments were as harmless before and after opening your laptop. It's just an illusion. As a wise comment lost amidst the internet said: "Young people spend too much time worrying about what others might think of them, to realize at old age that they never cared about them". You should stop thinking about what people will think of you and start living life. You will make yourself miserable to appease to some people that will forgot you exist in a couple of months. Or would remember it only when a notification appears. If leaving social media it's what you truly wish, then go ahead without second toughts. But if you really loved what you were doing here, don't make a mistake, remember that you only live once.
I'm literally trying every way I can to remain in contact with you. I really hope you receive at least one of these Cindy! I've just been shed light on the situation regarding Discord and some drama; I've been pretty much absent from the Channel & Discord so I'm so confused and behind on everything. I don't think I have been given the entirety of the story (if there is one) but either way, I'm not taking 'sides' or anything and I am not going to comment what was right or wrong because it's none of my business and I wasn't involved so I have no opinion on the matter. In fact, I'm staying well away from the situation entirely. I've had my fair share of drama within the Discord, as we all can remember, and I have truly learnt my lesson. So from that I can say that we all make mistakes and we can all learn from them. I'm here to simply to tell you that I hope that you're okay and that you take time to care for your wellbeing. I hope all mods and people who took part in the server are doing well. I know many will miss the server. I'm not sure if I understood correctly whether you're taking a hiatus or have stopped entirely on advancing your TH-cam career, in which case I am heartbroken to hear this. You worked so hard to get to where you are and you enjoyed what you were doing whilst connecting with your fans. I really hope a Discord server can thrive again sometime in the future as it was a great place for help, sharing gameplay, chatting all about Sims and just having fun. I do have a tip that might help if a future server is a possibility. Discord has a feature to put a time restriction on certain (or all) sections and you can have them for as long as 30 minutes. This is a great way to prevent spam and more time for the mods to sort out and remove anything they deem unsuitable or against the rules. I haven't been in your Discord for a few months as I have been mostly active over on Facebook in The Sims 2 group so I don't know if this was actually incorporated before in your Discord during the time that I have been absent but I thought I'd mention it anyway just in case. This is truly saddening. It truly is. I'd like to keep in contact, if at all possible, just to check in with how you are. Here's for a better future, Shannon
I didn’t know FarmVille still existed! It looks really cute. I downloaded to try it out. Also I haven’t played TS4 in years, but honestly this expansion is kind of tempting to try out. Maybe I’ll purchase it on sale… or maybe I’ll just pretend I did and keep playing TS2 or TS3 lol.
Nice review. There is so much more to discover in this pack. It’s really well done and I love that you can’t experience everything in a few days like most of the other packs!
Cindy pls don’t leave!!! I love you and your channel and everyone on Reddit is talking about how much they’re gonna miss you 😢 oh Cindy. But ofc if it’s something you rly want to do then we your fans have to accept that 😪
This pack has been really fun to play with. I love that you can knit clothes for all the new animals, it makes knitting feel more impactful to more packs. Also even though they're a townie family, the mayor and grocer male teen are available to move into a house and they start with good and bad relationships with other households in the town, including ex romances and budding ones. I always move them into a house even if I don't end up playing them.
Hey Cindy! With the crops, the more you fertilise them and encourage the crop growth, the less produce you’ll end up with, but better quality and worth a lot more. You can also enter your best single crops into the oversized crop fair! I had a 40 kilo pumpkin that won!!! Say, 4 aubergines is ok, 2 is good, and 1 huge one will sell for heaps! You can also sell them back at the grocery store!!! So happy you like the gameplay, definitely a step up from what it has been I think 😊
Honestly I'm so upset that plantsims didn't come with this expansion. I know they don't plan on adding them to the game but it would have fit so perfectly! They could have brought back the same way of making plantsims from the sims 2 too!!
@@leahdavis9434 Yeah they have, but they could be way more developed than they are right now. I think it would be cool if they added them in a more official capacity where they're fully fleshed out supernaturals
I started in the premade lot? ETA: Oh I just went and checked and I see what you mean. There's another house at 5 Crumplebottom Street that's empty. Thanks!
My heart goes out to you. I'm the Rhonda half of the equation, and I found your channels because a random encounter with a person from South Africa sent me tumbling back down the rabbit hole of TS4. That's a personal interest of mine, unrelated to the YT channel I'm commenting from, but so what. I'm speaking from the heart here. That should align with any branding, right? I was in the middle of following all your recommendations from your video about improving graphics quality in TS4 when I learned that you have been the victim of trolls on Discord, and boy can I relate. I lost a large Discord writing community and real world publishing company several years ago because of similar drama. It does leave scars. No denying that. I still have not recovered. But I have moved on. Finally. Another parallel is the loss of your camera. (I saw that video on your other channel.) Again, I empathize deeply. I didn't have anything as nice as your Sony, but I did have a reliable iPhone 7 Plus that did okay in the right lighting. And of course, the Michel half of my equation managed to misplace it (probably into the hands of a pickpocket) a few weeks ago in La Fortuna. Like you, I can't afford to replace it. We got a crappy Samsung "burner" to get us by, and I'm having to make videos that are so low quality that I cringe when I watch them. But sometimes we gotta just keep going. I understand on a very deep level why you may not return to the TS4 community, on YT or elsewhere. But I wanted to add my voice to the leagues of people who support you and think the trolls are ridiculous. They're just sad little unflushable turds who have way more power in this world than any turds deserve. The damage they do is undeniable. But most rational people instantly see right through the drama. Just keep that in mind. Your legacy remains.
Something you didn't cover so I don't know if you did it or not is the Finchwick Favors where the locals give you tasks and you get rewards if you complete them. Gives even more purpose to growing crops, rearing animals, and cooking/canning.
You can sell everything you produce (crops, jams, eggs, milk...) on the grocery shop. You can even "ask for a discount" and she will pay more, I think +10%
I love Cindy and all, god how was her apology overdramatic. I genuinely think it’s for the better, for her own mental health that she’s away from the community because if that post showed me anything, it’s that she is not in the right place for the spotlight right now. The entire thing was so ‘woe is me’ and victim-like. She was never cancelled. People were mad at her absolutely. But it could’ve been cleared up very easily by a concrete apology, showing she apologised to the girl privately, promising to do better and moving on. Instead she went on an unnecessary tangent of why she’s actually the victim, etc etc. Let me tell you something as someone who was a content creator a few years ago. People will hate you. If you make yourself a public figure, you’re going to get comments and messages DAILY of negativity. ‘You’re so ugly’, ‘Her voice makes me want to die’, ‘KYS everyone hates you’. Yeah it sucks, but it comes with the territory. That’s something you come to expect. Even ‘cancelling’ is common. Hell, I once got ‘cancelled’ for spamming my best friend, he pretended to be mad on stream in return, and everyone that loved him attacked me until he clarified he was kidding. People are reactionary. They’ll take any chance they can to bring a person down and run with it. Maybe it’s mean to say, but if that’s not something you’re able to handle, then the route of any level of fame isn’t for you. Point blank period. Cindy, if for whatever reason you read this out of the sea of comments, I’m going to be real. Your response was dumb. It was completely based on emotion and I don’t think you took the time to think out what you were saying at all. That is your downfall. You’ve given a reaction that people that hate you can absolutely run with and THAT is your issue. This whole ‘drama’ would’ve died down quite quickly because it really wasn’t that big of a deal. But by deleting your discord, quitting youtube, not updating your tumblr, you’re making yourself seem victimised. You weren’t cancelled, people were mad at you. There’s a big difference between the two. It’s a shame honestly. I don’t think you’re a bad person at all. I just think maybe you’re not so cut out for this public life as you thought you were. That’s not an insult by any means, because your content is wonderful, it’s more of an insight. That apology was NOT it. Regardless, I hope Cindy is doing well and bettering her mental health. Not for her fans, not for her content, but for herself.
@@frightenedfawn Basically some people posted screenshots from her discord of her making fun of a girl on her server. Mean, yeah, but really not something she got ‘cancelled’ over. People were just disappointed because Cindy had a pretty squeaky clean image before this point. She then posted a REALLY long apology where she accused cancel culture of being her downfall, cried about how it’s not really her fault etc and that made me lose a LOT of respect for her personally. She should’ve just apologised and moved on instead of being so over the top and literally quitting because people were disappointed.
TBF she did provide evidence that everything was cleared up, and the stress of cancel culture could've worn down on her causing to make the apology the way she did.
I had no idea about what happened, i just thought you were taking a break. I'm gonna miss you so much, Cindy! Your videos and live streams made me love this franchise again and how passionate you were towards it made me so excited to try new ways of playing this beloved game. Unfortunately there are evil people lurking in every corner of the internet, waiting to prey on people with real passion for what they do. I wish you nothing but the best, Cindy! 💙
The oversized crops starts as 9 seeds. Depending on care and fertilizer, you wind up with 4 small , 2 medium, or 1 huge crop at the end. The fair: each fair allows a Sim t submit two different items: Chicken nd Egg, Cow and Milk, Llama and Wool, Oversized Crop and Pie (I think), Normal Crop and Pie (I think). Foxes can steal crops, too. Edit to add: during the Fair you can get discount shopping at the two stalls until 7 PM. And during a fair is a great time to do shopping or talk to townies for Errands.
This was unfortunately someone who had it out for you and found the tiniest thing trick others for. It’s ok if you never come back if that’s what’s best for you, but just know we will never stop loving you! I feel like if you do actually make a mistake (I’m not counting what happened just now bc it was something taken out of context that was solved years ago) we shouldn’t just cancel you, but instead teach you, like anyone who makes a mistake, because I think it’s better that way instead of driving them off a platform (most of the time), we should show them why what they did was wrong. But I feel that you didn’t really do much wrong and there’s definitely much worse (especially since you apologized to the person), this is definitely someone who has no life and hates you for no reason and grasping at straws. I feel like I kinda seen you leaving before all of this bc I could tell from your streams that it seems that this was a lot for you in the first place, but it’s still upsetting. Do what’s best for you, but you are loved!

Cindy I love farmville 3 it's so fun please let's be friends!
let me love you
I think the only reason Windenburg was so big was because it was a scrapped base game world, they had more to work with. Sadly the tiny worlds onwards seem the norm
You may be right about that. It really sucks that this is the direction they've taken.
I don't even know why we consider Windenburg "big" in the first place 😔. Compared to what other games and even earlier Sims games did, having 20 lots in a "world" is tiny. But of course it's double the size of most of the other Sims 4 worlds which are just embarrassingly tiny. Wish EA would actually care about making the best Sims game possible instead of making excuses why this game can't get larger worlds 😔
It is especially sad when you compare it to Sims 3. The worlds added with expansions were so big, detailed - with many built lots, houses, so many families. Each world had library, gym, bars, parks. You couldn't travel between the worlds, so they had to put big effort to each new one they created. Nowadays the option to travel to various worlds in Sims 4 is a plus, but they are so small, it feels like an excuse.
Tiny, closed world's. Literally why did they think that was a good move
@@12wer3wer9 It's amazing how an older game like the Sims 2 has a bigger world than the new tech the Sims 4 used.
For those who are wondering where Cindy is, check her Tumblr. She has decided to leave TH-cam and the Sims community permanently.
I will miss you and your videos Cindy. Best of luck to you.
WHAAAAAAT
WHAT'S HER TUMBLR! SHE WAS THE BEST, i related to her bc I also have pcos
WHAAAAAAAAAAT
Oh no ;-; I had just discovered her videos
WHAAAAT OMG :( hope she’s doing okay though!
I don’t know if you will ever see this but Cindy I hope you are doing ok. I hope I don’t trigger any hurt or memories from this but never feel like you are a terrible person or like you did something wrong. People are just pure evil in this world and love to target good people on the internet who they don’t share the same opinion with or just being hateful to. I’m sorry that you have to deal with this and all the awful comments you’ve received during your TH-cam career. You are the queen of the sims community and you have brought back so much life to this franchise. It’s totally fine if you can’t handle the TH-cam spotlight. It’s not for everyone but don’t ever think you have to apologize for being a good person. You are not cancelled because a good person can’t be canceled. You will be remembered for being a bright, funny, great person and not no bully. I hope you have a great life. I wish you the best of luck and all that you deserve. If you ever decide to stream again, we will be here to always support you. We love you and we wish you all of the greatest!
What’s happened I can’t get an answer from anyone?
She made a tumblr post about it
Where can I find that? There isn't a link to her tumblr in the video
I do not even know where to begin with this. Cindy, I discovered your channel back in 2019. I was a miserable college freshman. I stumbled across your channel one fateful night and have loved it ever since. Your videos got me through the roughest time of my life. After a long, sad day, I would go back to my dorm to cheer myself up with some Pleasantview videos. Your videos gave me something to look forward to. I can honestly say I have loved all of the content you created, from LPs, to reviews, cook-with-me's, and vlogs. You have been a light in my life and I hope you can heal from this. Thank you for everything.
I completely agree
You can still watch her on Life plus Cindy
We love you Cindy ! ❤️ You literally didn’t do anything wrong !!! People just love to twist things around and spread misinformation, it’s crazy. I’m sorry that the nobodies infiltrating this community have tried to bring you down. The vast majority of us are all sending you love and support forever and always ❤️ I hope you soon receive the stability and happiness you deserve however that may be ! God bless you Cindy ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sad rn :/ I was missing Cindy and did not know anything about what had happened... so I searched and found her goodbye. Internet is so mean. I was an TH-camr for a small period of time and did not have more than 500 subscribers to my channel, and still I had haters. No one is immune to mean people, and they feel so strong behind a screen -.- I too hope she can recover from this and I hope she's happy. I'm sending lots of love to wherever she is and I pray she's doing good
@@astrale-l3n Ye it’s a shame she’s not apart of the sims community now but at least she has a vlog channel on the side and it’s great😁😁 she hasn’t posted in a few weeks but she went on a vacation and seemed to have been doing better after what happened which was so good to see
@@dan-ch8kr what's her vlog channel? I want to check it out!
@@astrale-l3n Life Plus Cindy :-)
What did she do?
What I would’ve improved:
• A LOT more lots
•more animals like pigs, sheep’s and goats
•our animals (not only the chickens“ being able to have babies and our animals also ageing
•being able to have the bunnies as official pets
•horses. Yes, horses aren’t real farm animals but they would fit to the world and setting and another big neighbourhood ONLY for the horses and to ride them would’ve been so cool. Also being able to choose if you want the horse to live on your lot (if you live at the countryside and maybe even have a Farm) or owning the horse but the horse lives in a stable in this neighbourhood
•fairies, GOOD fairies and/or werewolves, GOOD werewolves
Just as long as they don't have horses attached to barns and yes they are real farm animals lol. I loved them in TS3 and how you could ride them anywhere!! I miss open world play so much.
I think asking for occults in this pack would've asked too much, considering all the farm animals and exotic pets they could've added to this pack.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 oh god what if they attach horses to a track.
It's disgusting that all of this isn't in this pack. There's no excuse.
@@RedRoseSeptember22 actually horses aren’t real farm animals. A farm is a place where you can harvest sth, vegetables but also animal products like eggs or milk. You don’t get that from a horse. Most farms don’t have horses, but some do
I agree with the number of lots part. I hate how The Sims 4 worlds are kinda empty. I'm an occult player and would love to make Forgotten Hollow a complete city with many families, nightclub, library, retail business, park... But it only has FIVE LOTS.
Five lots is just so sad. I never even play there because it doesn't even feel like a real world to me.
Not to mention, the one starter home in Midnight Hollow is terribly designed. It's like the one starter home in Britechester, where it's skinny and full of empty space.
I'm an occult player too and this irks me so much. Nightlife from ts2 was my favorite expansion until ts3 supernatural blew it out of the park. Sims 2 is sill my main babe but ts3 supernatural is just unbeatable.
@@MiotaLee Supernatural and Into the Future are my favorite TS3 packs
I'm glad that this expansion is positive. I see myself as a huge sims fan anytime you talk about the Sims 4 issues I feel your pain wholeheartedly, it's a game I'm desperate to like but there is so much more to improve on. Seeing how Carls (as in Carl's Sims Guide) improved the game so quickly with his difficulty mod has amazed me further.
That is such a great way to say it. I am also desperate to like this game, but it just never delivers what I think a Sims game should. There always seem to be good features in the expansions and game packs, but overall the game is still disappointing. I have fun with it from time to time (with the help of mods), but it hurts because I know it could be so much better. I am excited to try out Carl's mod very soon!
I need to try that mod out!! Thank you! 🥰😇x
@@PleasantSims it is defo frustrating of having to use mods to benefit it it’s like the sims rely on them they do the base and mods add the depth I hope that makes sense but then what about people on console I was one for about a year until I became fed up for sims with no mods but then also the speed on the PS4 don’t even get me started on that lol 🤦♀️😁💖 xx
@@PleasantSims and yet here you are... lol
I think the problem is that the "shortcuts" the game devs take are too obvious and noticeable. The recycled meshes and the lack of animations is a flaw that is visible on the game. Every game dav takes _shortcuts_ either to improve performance or reduce crunch but when you have a game that continues to be updated it's a mystery that some of these issues haven't been fixed.
Cindy is doing really well fyi, she just announced that she and her husband are expecting their first child on her vlogging channel
REALLY??! omg that is amazing i am so happy for them
This is so sad seeing comments like this now…
Actually she lost the baby
Her husband has now left her too. She's been through so much it's so sad to watch. Hopefully they get back together
This comment did not age well
You did nothing wrong people just like to take any little thing people say and run with it, you dont deserve to be cancelled you did nothing wrong. I hope you take a much needed break for your mental health. I hope you come back in the future Cindy. Until then, Thank you so much for all of your entertaining & helpful videos on the sims. On behalf of most of the sims community thank you & know we are supporting you.
I think its a good expansion pack
for the Sims 4
Lol! I agree with that.
Just wanted to say I'm missing you so much Cindy. I hope all the time you'll come back. It's hard to say how much your videos and your vlogs meant to me. You really inspired me, and I hope that whatever you're doing now is bringing you peace.
You did nothing wrong.. we are gonna miss you 😕
I honestly don't understand what the fuss is over. It was innapropriate thing to say, but mildy. And the fact that people say she talked about a child, when the girl is 17.... I couldn't help but laugh.
@@RemedyRayMusic she posts vlogs almost daily
Hey Cindy! Following all of the things that has happened, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to making the sims 2 community the way it is! You have given so many simmers recourses that we wouldn’t have been able to find or know about if you didn’t put in the time and effort you did, simply making our simming experience endlessly fun. Though your Twitter is no longer active, I want you to know how many people are in support and are fighting for you against these false accusations. I also want to say how much I enjoyed being apart of your discord and the amazing amazing community that never failed to put a smile on my face. I believe you can come back soon stronger then ever and continue to do the simple yet great things you do! 💙💚
What even happened?
@@Sejjin same bc i have no idea whats going on
@@lala-4458 I can't imagine Cindy doing anything so wrong for people to say mean thing's to her. She's literally the sweetest and most normal girl. I love her personality.
@@Sejjin She has quit streaming. She was getting a lot of mean comments and false things being said about her.
Edit: She is also taking a break from TH-cam and quit social media for now. If you go to her channel, she explains on her community tab.
You may never read this, but I needed to say this. I left the Discord server the other day simply because I never got into Discord at all and wanted to clean up. The invite doesn't work anymore, so I'll write it here.
I just read your Tumblr post. I'm shocked at what happened, I have no words, and I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling. The person who did this to you has no conscience. You are my favorite Sims TH-camr, and that will never change, even if you never come back - which I understand, but it devastates me. You are an incredibly kind person. Please never think that you aren't. If you ever decide to come back after all - be it soon or a few years down the line, be it on this channel or on your second - know that you have my full support.
we miss you cindy! hope you’re well. if you ever decide to come back we’ll be here ❤️
I’m from Britain and a complaint I have is, that we don’t eat Yorkshire puddings on their own! They usually come with a big English roast, I feel like they could’ve added a roast dinner into the game, with maybe lamb as the meat.
Yes! I thought it was very strange to serve that as its own meal!
I eat them on their own. Sometimes I stick a lump of ice cream in each of them. I mean, they're just oven baked pancake mix.
They probably didn't want to have kids traumatized by animal in the farm - animal in the dinner you're eating. I'm not even vegetarian, but that can be a big "omg no" moment for a kid. I can see the sims team avoiding that as the source of possible issues and complaints.
@@lauragoreni3020 this is why sims games should be rated teen or something. The amount to content being ignored or removed because of "concerns" is annoying. They already have woohoo and having babies through woohoo in the game with no details shown, so I'm sure they can do that with animals turning into food items off screen. 🤷♂️ idk otherwise the chickens and cows are just for eggs and milk or just make all Sims vegetarian if they're so worried about that (thus removing every meat dish in the game) but this EA after all 😐
@@gkraith2995 I totally agree. The first Sims game also had great dark humour and they erased that from sims 3 and 4. What a pity
Miss you, Cindy! 🥺
Cindy hasn't posted in 3 months... i hope she's ok! We love you Cindy!!!!!
Apparently she got canceled or something and she’s leaving the Sims community I don’t know what happened literally everyone just keeps saying she made a Tumblr or a Twitter but they don’t actually give the links
@@calebwalker9090 Why did she get cancelled? :O
I just want to say, thank you for everything you done for The Sims community Cindy, and we all wish you the best on your journey.
I hope you will come back sometime, you managed to bring back Sims 2 in a form that most people left a long time ago, let's plays. I know people can be very exhausting and the situation you got in was very bad but people are still here for you. Well, whatever choice you decide on I just hope it will make you happy
Cindy, I'm so sorry for everything that happened. You don't deserve it. I will never be able to thank you enough for teaching me how to play rotationally. I was never able to catch a live stream because I never got up early enough but your kindness and heart are amazing. I hope you consider taking an extended break and come back later in the year or next. Don't let terrible people get you down. Either way I wish you the best in your life and hope that you'll do amazing in whatever you do!

Cindy, my favorite part about my day used to be coming home from work, getting stoned, and watching your lets plays. As stupid as that sounds, that’s what made me really happy. Your Sims 2 content was always interesting even though it’s such an old game. I’m sorry somebody went out of their way to make you feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. I can’t believe such a silly situation was blown out of proportion. I hope one day you will return to the sims community because you are sorely missed!
we miss you cindy. hope you are doing well.
we hope you will return whenever you feel is the right time.❤
I always have a mod in the Sims 3 where I have to have the ingredients for the food I cook. I love how realistic it is. Now going grocery shopping hast a sense
Same! I love that mod!
what mod is it? i've been thinking of getting it but idk what it is
I just wanted to thank you Cindy, I've always loved the sims games especially the sims 2 and because of your videos I have a fully working game that looks and plays better than ever. Thank you for keeping this nostalgic masterpiece alive, I love your videos they are so helpful and your commentary is so funny
Cindy please come back!! We miss you!
Glad you finally tried the pack! And congrats on the sponsor! From someone who doesn't care about farming, I was pleasantly surprised by this pack and ended up playing with it for months, which was crazy for me! And even now, I still use elements of the pack for nearly every family. Also for the oversized crops - size depends on fertilization, so you can end up with massive 1-crop-per-plot pumpkins, etc. which is fun!
I'm gonna rewatch all of your videos aaa 😭
I havent played with the lactose intolerance trait, but glad to see it has a way of warning you that you're clicking on an unsafe item. I am sick of vegetarian sims eating meat autonomously and occasionally I'll forget myself when I'm juggling multiple sims. It should definitely add something for clicking on items that contain meat
I thought it was funny too. I have lactose intolerant friends that will still drink a milkshake because its "worth it". Very realistic
@@Simmerdownidc I take Lactaids for it so I can eat milkshakes guilt free :)
@@Simmerdownidc me irl
I love everything about this pack. However, I was hoping we’d end up getting pigs too.
and horses :(
@@RedRoseSeptember22 Horses deserves their own pack! ;) I really hope they get us some horses pack in Carribean island vibe, where you can growth sugar cannes, corns and wheat... and you guessed it, you can grind grains on a grain mill motored by your horses, and sugar cannes to make sugar and flour! That way they would tie horses with simple living and would make a use of horses other than competitions/riding/transportation uses. I really would like something like that and of course there would be riding competitions, a skill to train horses etc...
They could even go into and make horses tied with an brand new occult, centaures... that would also be very cool imo, but I prefer the first idea I just mentionned.
I’m assuming the main reason they weren’t in the pack is because the majority of Pig use is for meat, but then again truffle pigs do actually exist so I don’t know then
To me it is MIND blowing that the sims 2 which was made like 15+ years ago, was wayyyyy more detailed and interesting
Simple Living is just THE BEST thing from this pack!
I've never played without this challenge after it came out, I just can't, it's so good!
I agree! It's definitely my favorite feature!
This packs has so many things that I love:
1- Wild foxes
2- Old married gay couple
... That's it. But It was enough for me to get it. If future packs are gonna be like this or better then we are finally going in the right direction.
The reason you can only plant one type of plant on the new plots is that the better you grow the plants, the bigger each gets, so the plants get thinned (uproot some plants) and you keep the biggest ones..the bigger the crop, the more space it needs :)
It's more like real life gardening..when you grow large crops you plant a lot then only keep the best plants. Thinning out the smaller weaker plants gives more space and more nutrients to the best plants and so you increase chances for even bigger crops
I agree with your review fully! I also like that you get quests from villagers that take time and effort to complete! Playing has been fun, and it makes me hopeful for future expansions and refreshes!
Like Cindy said about other features though, it sucks that the quests are only for the new neighborhood and not an over-arching system
i miss u cindy!! loved ur content and ur pesonality, you didnt do anything wrong its so disgusting that people make any excuse to vilify someone they dont like, but you have so many supporters of you i hope you know you made a lot of people happy with ur presence 🌟

this reminds me, wanted to tell you that i got the new update. My neighbours keep calling me several times a day, asking to have babies, raises, switch jobs etc. Several a day!
Oh no! I haven't had that experience, but my Sims don't have a lot of friends I guess. That sounds really annoying!
crap I knew this would happen =/ can't you turn it of on the options? I have been avoiding to update my game for this exact reason

@@SunSooTae omg that's even worse then I expected
Cindy I never write any comments nor was I active during your livestreams.
I understand your feelings as I feel very similarly about mistakes I made in the past, for doing some not so nice stuff to people and I feel so bad about it.
But things will get better. You and you alone are in charge of your feelings and do NOT let anyone get you down! Tell yourself it’s all gonna be okay, this helped me too during the dark times in my head.
We, your fans, support you! You’re NOT canceled! I’m sure the majority of your fans have no clue of what was going on.
Take your time. I hope you come back one day. ❤️
Yours truly, S.
I love how happy you look while filming! It makes me appreciate the game’s features more
i don't know if you'll ever see this cindy, but i just want to say that you didn't deserve this "controversy" at all, and i wish you the best in your life from here on out. i'm not a super dedicated viewer lately but in early 2021 you were kinda my comfort creator (on your stream channel especially) during a really rough time in my life when i just needed something to latch on to. thank you so much and, once again, best wishes!
I miss watching your videos so much I check every week or two to see if you have a new one yet I hope one day you’ll be able to make more!
You can still watch her at life plus cindy
This pack is good but still too small for the price. And doesn't feel like an expansion, it's more of a game pack (like most of the expansions).
I feel like they got scared after they made get to work and there was too many parts they tried to add so they have stripped way back with the expansions lol
Personally the main thing I think this pack lacks is the ability to do everything yourself. The pack wants to focus on the living off the land gamestyle which is alright thats the theme. So I should be able to make the flour myself, make the bread myself etc etc
You can cook bread yourself. I agree about flour, though.
@@NitroIndigo Right? We should have gotten 2 options to make those products, maybe like a windmill for eco-friendly sims and a machine for the people who want something better looking. Could use them both for things like flour and sugar.
The oversized crops are so dis-jointed from the normal crops, in a way that's pretty jarring
I think it would've made more sense if the oversized crops were something that could happen if you planted 4 of the same normal crop in a planter and took good care of them
I hope you come back soon
We really miss you, Cindy! I hope you're doing well and that you know that you can come back whenever you want and we'll still be here waiting for you
Cindy I always enjoy watching your honest reviews! I was going to wait until the pack was on sale to purchase it but I couldn’t wait so I actually got it shortly after the release date. I personally really enjoy this pack and love that content from other packs (Eco lifestyle and nifty knitting for example) work really well with it. I made a family where they are living on a farm and sell everything they make/harvest on their lot (using a home business mod of course haha) and that’s how they make their income. It’s a lot of fun. I also love the simple living lot trait!
Just an FYI they patched in the cross stitching like/dislike hobby a few days ago, on the 17th I think. It didn't come with the pack on release, typical of EA to release half baked content
Oh! Well, I'm glad they added it at all.
Disappointed but not surprised
Came into the comments to say the same thing. Good timing on Cindy's part😅
5:33 after the release of Get Together, one of the devs actually declared officially (on Twitter I suppose) that they were not going to include as big worlds anymore due to performance issues or some other stuff. Basically, my point is they didn't try to hide it or avoid this issue - they just said they're not gonna do it anymore.
I've never seen that Tweet. Do you happen to have a link or remember who tweeted it?
I don't think they tried to hide or avoid it. I just assumed it wasn't an issue they even considered.
You're not cancelled Cindy. These people like to judge others like they're perfect and never said dumb, hurtful stuff in their lives! But the big diference between an asshole and a normal human being is that the normal ones EVOLVE, they learn from their mistakes and grow and u did just that. You'll forever have my support.
Cindy, I wish you the best. Social media is toxic and I'm trying to get away from it myself (youtube is chaining me down alooot) You've done so much for the sims community, especially sims 2, and your the main reason why I'm so into the game now. Please be well and don't let the haters get to you anymore.
Hi Cindy! I quite enjoy Cottage Living, so about the milk with Lactose intolerant Sims, you can take any crafted items and sell them at the grocery/garden stalls in town!! It'll help make your Sim more money especially if they don't have a job. Hope this helps :) also Veggie treats make cows produce "mighty plant milk" lol.
Cindy I couldn't help but notice how lively and vibrant you look in your recent videos, it brings smile to my face :D
Oh thank you!
So excited to see your outlook on this!
Personal experience: I was very eager to play with Cottage Living, but the overall abundance of boredom I feel with the Sims 4 gameplay just didn't let me have fun at all. Which is a pity.
Also, the small number of lots in the new world, and the absence of interesting characters/lore just makes the whole thing so much weaker than, say, Sims 3 Pets with Store content.
I was surprised by this one! I think it's probably the best expansion in terms of gameplay. But I am disappointed with the tiny world as always.
I suggest you review the lore of lord volpe i found it in the wiki /fandom i think is very interesting
It's only been 4 months, and I already miss Cindy...
finally getting some honest thoughts on this! I enjoyed the expansion in parts, but really was disappointed with the fairs. Like really, 9pm start? no m'am.
The fairs are absolutely terrible and boring. Just awful!
For those who do not know she has a volt channel where she still updates and she’s pregnant! The channel is called Life plus Cindy
Cindy we love and miss you so much! your sim videos were the only thong I ever looked forward to. Please come back
Out of all the simmers on youtube you are my favorite. I really enjoy your content. As per your user name, you seem very pleasant. Thanks for all of these great videos.
Much love from Brazil!! Wish you the best, you deserve good things!

@@LorikQuinn poxaa, eu adoro o conteúdo dela, um dos únicos bons sobre o ts2, mas ela já vinha saturada das redes faz um tempo, tomara que ela fique bem e volte logo
@@Yas-ji8oj Sim, eu conheci ela umas 3 semanas atrás e os vídeos dela são ótimos
We miss you Cindy, hopefully you are happy and doing well ❤
Hi Cindy!
Always look forward to your reviews since you keep it real haha.
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching!
I miss you and your content so much...hopefully someday you can find a safe place to come back!
I liked the plaid shirt to match the video theme xD
Haha! Thank you!
EXACTLY! Ive said that too, that expansion packs in sims 4 doesn’t expand gameplay. For me personally, an expansion pack should still be good WITHOUT the world as well. So thats how I personally rate expansion packs.
In total we have like 2 full expansions and 3 half-assed expansion: which are in descending order:
-Seasons
-Eco lifestyle
-Cats and dogs
-Discover University
-Get to work (Still extremely bad and lacks any meaningful content)
(Get famous fits the criteria but the low amount of content doesn’t differentiate it from a game pack)
I would love to see more info of Crumplebottom across the sims series :) I’m so thankful for your back to back uploads. Back in the day of regularly scheduled tv, this would be what I’d love to tune into every week. God. Such horrid times. Life before streaming videos. Lol waiting a week for the next episode of anything.
'They never give us enough male hairs' - things both pleasant sims and Henry 8th said (heirs)
I'm very happy to see llamas, some good old sims lore making it through!
Cindy you shouldn't scroll down comments till you find a mean one just to feel bad. They can't and shouldn't hurt you. It's just brain suggestion. Once you're out of the internet one feels better, but for some reason when you open your laptop you feel as if you're going into a warzone. Yet this bad comments were as harmless before and after opening your laptop. It's just an illusion.
As a wise comment lost amidst the internet said: "Young people spend too much time worrying about what others might think of them, to realize at old age that they never cared about them".
You should stop thinking about what people will think of you and start living life. You will make yourself miserable to appease to some people that will forgot you exist in a couple of months. Or would remember it only when a notification appears.
If leaving social media it's what you truly wish, then go ahead without second toughts.
But if you really loved what you were doing here, don't make a mistake, remember that you only live once.
I'm literally trying every way I can to remain in contact with you. I really hope you receive at least one of these Cindy!
I've just been shed light on the situation regarding Discord and some drama; I've been pretty much absent from the Channel & Discord so I'm so confused and behind on everything. I don't think I have been given the entirety of the story (if there is one) but either way, I'm not taking 'sides' or anything and I am not going to comment what was right or wrong because it's none of my business and I wasn't involved so I have no opinion on the matter. In fact, I'm staying well away from the situation entirely. I've had my fair share of drama within the Discord, as we all can remember, and I have truly learnt my lesson. So from that I can say that we all make mistakes and we can all learn from them. I'm here to simply to tell you that I hope that you're okay and that you take time to care for your wellbeing. I hope all mods and people who took part in the server are doing well. I know many will miss the server. I'm not sure if I understood correctly whether you're taking a hiatus or have stopped entirely on advancing your TH-cam career, in which case I am heartbroken to hear this. You worked so hard to get to where you are and you enjoyed what you were doing whilst connecting with your fans.
I really hope a Discord server can thrive again sometime in the future as it was a great place for help, sharing gameplay, chatting all about Sims and just having fun. I do have a tip that might help if a future server is a possibility. Discord has a feature to put a time restriction on certain (or all) sections and you can have them for as long as 30 minutes. This is a great way to prevent spam and more time for the mods to sort out and remove anything they deem unsuitable or against the rules. I haven't been in your Discord for a few months as I have been mostly active over on Facebook in The Sims 2 group so I don't know if this was actually incorporated before in your Discord during the time that I have been absent but I thought I'd mention it anyway just in case.
This is truly saddening. It truly is. I'd like to keep in contact, if at all possible, just to check in with how you are.
Here's for a better future,
Shannon
Watching all of your videos and streams all over again. Even when I am Sims 2 player, I got into your Sims 4 videos now too haha. Missing you!❤️
same:((
is she coming back?
I hope she will! 😫
the sims 4 wins on looks but kind of like polishing a broken bike, like, it looks nice until the sims face glitchers through the cross-stitch 8:19
I loved your content Cindy... Still miss you. I hope you come back someday if you ever feel comfortable to!
I didn’t know FarmVille still existed! It looks really cute. I downloaded to try it out.
Also I haven’t played TS4 in years, but honestly this expansion is kind of tempting to try out. Maybe I’ll purchase it on sale… or maybe I’ll just pretend I did and keep playing TS2 or TS3 lol.
Nice review. There is so much more to discover in this pack. It’s really well done and I love that you can’t experience everything in a few days like most of the other packs!
Same! I was surprised at how much content there is. This video would have been an hour long if I tried to cover everything! Lol
Cindy pls don’t leave!!! I love you and your channel and everyone on Reddit is talking about how much they’re gonna miss you 😢 oh Cindy. But ofc if it’s something you rly want to do then we your fans have to accept that 😪
This pack has been really fun to play with. I love that you can knit clothes for all the new animals, it makes knitting feel more impactful to more packs. Also even though they're a townie family, the mayor and grocer male teen are available to move into a house and they start with good and bad relationships with other households in the town, including ex romances and budding ones. I always move them into a house even if I don't end up playing them.
Hey Cindy! With the crops, the more you fertilise them and encourage the crop growth, the less produce you’ll end up with, but better quality and worth a lot more. You can also enter your best single crops into the oversized crop fair! I had a 40 kilo pumpkin that won!!!
Say, 4 aubergines is ok, 2 is good, and 1 huge one will sell for heaps! You can also sell them back at the grocery store!!!
So happy you like the gameplay, definitely a step up from what it has been I think 😊
I think canning being on the stove is realistic because most people don’t have a separate canning machine they just have a pot on there stove top
Honestly I'm so upset that plantsims didn't come with this expansion. I know they don't plan on adding them to the game but it would have fit so perfectly! They could have brought back the same way of making plantsims from the sims 2 too!!
They already added plant Sims to the game through a challenge. You can still get one in debug
@@leahdavis9434 Yeah they have, but they could be way more developed than they are right now. I think it would be cool if they added them in a more official capacity where they're fully fleshed out supernaturals
Debug!
You missed the pre-made lot in town you could start in
I started in the premade lot?
ETA: Oh I just went and checked and I see what you mean. There's another house at 5 Crumplebottom Street that's empty. Thanks!
My heart goes out to you.
I'm the Rhonda half of the equation, and I found your channels because a random encounter with a person from South Africa sent me tumbling back down the rabbit hole of TS4. That's a personal interest of mine, unrelated to the YT channel I'm commenting from, but so what. I'm speaking from the heart here. That should align with any branding, right? I was in the middle of following all your recommendations from your video about improving graphics quality in TS4 when I learned that you have been the victim of trolls on Discord, and boy can I relate. I lost a large Discord writing community and real world publishing company several years ago because of similar drama. It does leave scars. No denying that. I still have not recovered. But I have moved on. Finally. Another parallel is the loss of your camera. (I saw that video on your other channel.) Again, I empathize deeply. I didn't have anything as nice as your Sony, but I did have a reliable iPhone 7 Plus that did okay in the right lighting. And of course, the Michel half of my equation managed to misplace it (probably into the hands of a pickpocket) a few weeks ago in La Fortuna. Like you, I can't afford to replace it. We got a crappy Samsung "burner" to get us by, and I'm having to make videos that are so low quality that I cringe when I watch them. But sometimes we gotta just keep going.
I understand on a very deep level why you may not return to the TS4 community, on YT or elsewhere. But I wanted to add my voice to the leagues of people who support you and think the trolls are ridiculous. They're just sad little unflushable turds who have way more power in this world than any turds deserve. The damage they do is undeniable. But most rational people instantly see right through the drama. Just keep that in mind. Your legacy remains.
Something you didn't cover so I don't know if you did it or not is the Finchwick Favors where the locals give you tasks and you get rewards if you complete them. Gives even more purpose to growing crops, rearing animals, and cooking/canning.
You can sell everything you produce (crops, jams, eggs, milk...) on the grocery shop. You can even "ask for a discount" and she will pay more, I think +10%
I love Cindy and all, god how was her apology overdramatic. I genuinely think it’s for the better, for her own mental health that she’s away from the community because if that post showed me anything, it’s that she is not in the right place for the spotlight right now.
The entire thing was so ‘woe is me’ and victim-like. She was never cancelled. People were mad at her absolutely. But it could’ve been cleared up very easily by a concrete apology, showing she apologised to the girl privately, promising to do better and moving on. Instead she went on an unnecessary tangent of why she’s actually the victim, etc etc.
Let me tell you something as someone who was a content creator a few years ago. People will hate you. If you make yourself a public figure, you’re going to get comments and messages DAILY of negativity.
‘You’re so ugly’, ‘Her voice makes me want to die’, ‘KYS everyone hates you’. Yeah it sucks, but it comes with the territory. That’s something you come to expect. Even ‘cancelling’ is common.
Hell, I once got ‘cancelled’ for spamming my best friend, he pretended to be mad on stream in return, and everyone that loved him attacked me until he clarified he was kidding. People are reactionary. They’ll take any chance they can to bring a person down and run with it.
Maybe it’s mean to say, but if that’s not something you’re able to handle, then the route of any level of fame isn’t for you. Point blank period.
Cindy, if for whatever reason you read this out of the sea of comments, I’m going to be real. Your response was dumb. It was completely based on emotion and I don’t think you took the time to think out what you were saying at all. That is your downfall. You’ve given a reaction that people that hate you can absolutely run with and THAT is your issue. This whole ‘drama’ would’ve died down quite quickly because it really wasn’t that big of a deal. But by deleting your discord, quitting youtube, not updating your tumblr, you’re making yourself seem victimised. You weren’t cancelled, people were mad at you. There’s a big difference between the two.
It’s a shame honestly. I don’t think you’re a bad person at all. I just think maybe you’re not so cut out for this public life as you thought you were. That’s not an insult by any means, because your content is wonderful, it’s more of an insight. That apology was NOT it.
Regardless, I hope Cindy is doing well and bettering her mental health. Not for her fans, not for her content, but for herself.
what were people mad about?
@@frightenedfawn Basically some people posted screenshots from her discord of her making fun of a girl on her server. Mean, yeah, but really not something she got ‘cancelled’ over. People were just disappointed because Cindy had a pretty squeaky clean image before this point.
She then posted a REALLY long apology where she accused cancel culture of being her downfall, cried about how it’s not really her fault etc and that made me lose a LOT of respect for her personally.
She should’ve just apologised and moved on instead of being so over the top and literally quitting because people were disappointed.
@@shelovesher600 No she doesn't need to apologise. You seem more overdramatic.
TBF she did provide evidence that everything was cleared up, and the stress of cancel culture could've worn down on her causing to make the apology the way she did.
you said it perfectly yourself. i WHOLEHEARTEDLY 100% agree with you :)
When are you going to post again I miss your videos
She got cancelled for literally no reason, she's left youtube because of it
@@bubblegum8467 oh…
@@bubblegum8467 what has todays Society has become
I had no idea about what happened, i just thought you were taking a break. I'm gonna miss you so much, Cindy! Your videos and live streams made me love this franchise again and how passionate you were towards it made me so excited to try new ways of playing this beloved game. Unfortunately there are evil people lurking in every corner of the internet, waiting to prey on people with real passion for what they do. I wish you nothing but the best, Cindy! 💙
What happened?😭😭
@@richischeffler150 it explains on her tumblr
We missed you Cidy 😊 I hope you come back :)
The oversized crops starts as 9 seeds. Depending on care and fertilizer, you wind up with 4 small , 2 medium, or 1 huge crop at the end.
The fair: each fair allows a Sim t submit two different items: Chicken nd Egg, Cow and Milk, Llama and Wool, Oversized Crop and Pie (I think), Normal Crop and Pie (I think). Foxes can steal crops, too.
Edit to add: during the Fair you can get discount shopping at the two stalls until 7 PM. And during a fair is a great time to do shopping or talk to townies for Errands.
You can buy rare items at the shops during the fair that show up only then
This was unfortunately someone who had it out for you and found the tiniest thing trick others for. It’s ok if you never come back if that’s what’s best for you, but just know we will never stop loving you! I feel like if you do actually make a mistake (I’m not counting what happened just now bc it was something taken out of context that was solved years ago) we shouldn’t just cancel you, but instead teach you, like anyone who makes a mistake, because I think it’s better that way instead of driving them off a platform (most of the time), we should show them why what they did was wrong. But I feel that you didn’t really do much wrong and there’s definitely much worse (especially since you apologized to the person), this is definitely someone who has no life and hates you for no reason and grasping at straws. I feel like I kinda seen you leaving before all of this bc I could tell from your streams that it seems that this was a lot for you in the first place, but it’s still upsetting. Do what’s best for you, but you are loved!
Can someone please explain what happened?
