The only thing good about the rock climber is that if you are a famous SiM and put it in a gym outdoor area then in winter time your fans freeze to death while watching you work out on it. So I accidentally became a serial killer and got 7 tombstones near the rock climber machine. It was a fun experience and the cemetery is beautiful.

I actually didn't know about the home decorator pack bc I stopped playing for about 4 years. I found out via a CallMeKevin video, where he just utterly destroyed everyone's houses- I'm talking garbage and dead fish on every inch of the floor, one single solid color for all decor (if they like red, EVERYTHING is red), he even removed all the interior walls so the house was like one big room. Guess what? The Sims LOVED their new decor🙄🤦♀️ It's absolutely ridiculous. He could've bulldozed the house and put furniture in their fav color on the lawn and the Sims would've been like, "Yay! I love it! Here's your money!" So stupid.

I love dream home decorator because I get to makeover some of the worst EA builds I usually never visit. Although i do hate when the sims tell you preferences that make NO sense what so ever, like they hate cooking decor when you're tasked to makeover their kitchen 😭
For real. There are times where you strictly follow the preferences and, every time I play it, they absolutely hate it. It’s so broken. I love decorating and building, but they almost always hate it.

the sims 4 continually getting dogwalked by a game from 2 decades ago is still just so sad. sims 2 had so much soul and creativity open for business continues to eat!

literally why. stop wasting your money on this company that releases shit expansion packs every few months, and then complain that theyre shit 😭 we all know they will be shit
Expansion Packs: 1-Growing Together: Since I have parenthood, I don't use Growing Together at all, even if I use I use not that much since I am all okay with parenthood. 2-For Rent: Do I need to talk about it? Game Packs: 1-Vampires: I know, it is... different. But hear me out! the only thing I love about Vampires is it has its own pack, the things I don't like in Vampires Pack is the quirks of Vampires are so shallow, like I did my sim the best Vampire and do you know wha thappened? He only made a sims dazed for a few hours. In short, the quirks are just like cheats I am doing to get the exact same emotion while playing the base game. 2-Jungle Adventure: Hear me out, I actually loved jungle adventure at first. But since this game is an EA game, it is always at first. The thing I don't like in this pack is it is not re-playable, you play it for 3-4 hours, get sad, happy, excited and then... pack is just finished. Stuff Packs: 1-Luxury Party Stuff: Okay, Okay I know. This is the second pack came to the Sims 4 (as far as I remember) it is normal to be this pack so shallow, but EA refreshed Spa Day Game Pack, what about Luxury Stuff? (And other all packs^^) The pack only comes with a few 2000 outfits, chocolate mountain and thats all. 2- Bowling Night Stuff: The whole pack is it's game. Just a bowling object, a few new animations, a few new "modern" objects, a stupid competition pop-up. I wish they made Bowling Night Stuff with City Living. (I am learning English, so my grammar could be bad and I am sorry if this comment was too long :
Spooky stuff came out before seasons so seasons reused the stuff pack items which feels even more lazy like make new items for the expansion packs why are we recoloring things people already paid for
Best I can be happy about is that we can see the items that come with packs before buying, so at least we can clearly see the recolored and reused items before forking over the money
You fixed your hair I make sure the check my sources before buying a pack I don't just buy journey to Batu or get famous I'll get packs like city living and get the work
I love that the issue with a lot of these packs aren’t even the packs themselves but rather the fact that they are so poorly optimized that they are next to unplayable without breaking the immersion.
honestly if they don't feel like fixing it they could just buy Carl's dine out mod plop it in the game and say they refreshed it that would probably be better than anything they'd do for the pack anyways it's a win-win we get a working pack and all they have to do is throw a few bucks to a modder and get money from all the simmers hyping the pack up because it works and is fun now but they wouldn't do that cause it might make them look bad as if they don't already look bad enough lol
Disappointed that for rent is not on the list. Simmers need to be demanding the bugs in it get fixed or it's going to be abandoned like other packs on your list.
Absolutely agree with the butler malfunctioning -- they at least need to add an action to the "management" section of the butler communication to be able to direct the butler to do the chores they missed. Most of the time my sims are pissed about how dirty their fitness area is and the butler is standing across the house, doing that dumb action where they swipe their finger and pretend there is no dust. I mean, I guess it's good because your sim can still build their handiness skill and earn a neat trait. That said, I don't think that the butler was optimized together with the release of Bust the Dust.
I've learned my lessons with game, stuff and kit packs... I'm waiting until EA throws them up for free moving forward, and only buying expansions when a super sale is happening. I'm tired of giving EA money for an extremely broken game...
I’m glad you made the point about JtB. It is a VERY niche experience but as a huge Star Wars and sims fan I enjoyed it. It was my first standalone game pack purchase and I was hesitant because of the reviews but it’s honestly not bad. The droid and lightsaber gameplay is great and if you have seasons you can gift lightsabers to npcs to make more opponents. The storyline was decent (coming from someone who didn’t like the sequels). Personally I think they should’ve leaned into the occult side of Star Wars more than the vacation side making it a full world with a new sim state (force-sensitive). I also think the aspirations and storyline should’ve revolves around Jedi vs sith which is a more universal Star Wars theme than first order vs rebels. But it’s not a bad pack and it’s comparable to me to other occult packs which are also quite niche. If you want an action/adventure Star Wars experience I’d suggest Jedi survivor and if you want a tactical roleplay Star Wars experience I’d suggest knights of the old republic. But Jtb has its place as a Star Wars roleplay simulator game. At the moment it has the best character customization of any Star Wars game by a mile.
I got my first pet stuff and the fitness kit that comes with yoga in a bundle for an expansion I did want. City Living? Maybe? All I remember is it was one that had literally nothing to do with pets or fitness, so I had no idea why it was bundled this way. But the bundle was cheaper than just getting City Living by itself so I went with it. I do enjoy having yoga in my game, but not so much that I ever would have bought it on purpose. I've never used anything from my first pet stuff.
Not me rewinding the video 4 times going, "wtf is going on with that straw🤔...? Is there something stuck to it🧐..? Wait🤨. Are those😳...!?!? IS THAT A😳😧...!?!" 🍆!!! 🙄🤦♀️😂
1:16 I've tried to replay High School Years and my sim sometimes does not leave the house no matter how many times I send her to school. Her grades are always C despite doing all tasks and following the list, no matter what I do, no matter how much she studies and no matter how many A's she gets on exams her grade is locked on C.
I like the things that came with high school years, mainly the new after school activities and the boba tea lot. But honestly it should have been a game pack, not an expansion. So glad I bought it on sale And personal nitpick, the exercise task at live school is dumb 💀
I have been checking european laws and we have 30 days after update to ask for a refund. Since the game is constabtly modified, it counts as continuous content. And I am currently asking for a refund. Ofc they wont give it to me, but I will sue since I have been documenting how poorly ts4 and ea support team perform. I'll let you in on it if you guys want. Much loce!
Dine out and HS years just won’t work. I don’t have mods or CC installed either, so it can’t be that, but waiters won’t sit customers, it takes hours to get your food, and for HS years, my sims will literally just stand there instead of attending any classes :(
11:07 you shut your face I love that ice cream maker combined with a sales table and on hot days turning every townie sim blue with mocha ice cream lololol or making em breath fire with dragons breath… haunted or mentally unstable.. or I to plant sims… it’s a taste of old sim shenanigans but yea it’s basically the only thing I use from that pack anymore and the ceiling lamp but everything else is pretty low poly dated
I want a refund on Get Famous. The world is horrible, celebrities are annoying and building up the acting career is sooo repetitive. Plus CAS BB are awful. The fame system which is good is not enough for me to want this pack
It needed to go further as well. Like a whole pack about about getting famous and it only game with acting? It needed to have singing, bands, dancer, model. So much more could have been done
ive been playing sims 3 recently more and am amazed by how responsive it is on the PC i am fortunate to have today versus the computer i used to run it on where it would lag so much. its so refreshing how the sims actually stop what they're doing when i cancel a task instead of continuing to climb stairs, etc, its kind of weird to realize how frustrated i get with how slow sims are to do things or to stop doing things when playing sims 4. and the alt button works like it does in 4, you can match outfits and buy and build objects, customize so many things. im much more invested in the sims 3 gameplay.
Love that My First Pet Stuff isn't there just because if you buy it it's 100% on you for not heeding the many, many, MANY red flags. like you're so right but omg
I stupidly bought it with that Steam Pet Lover bundle on a sale. I really wanted the kid furniture items, but it was 100 percent on me for being stupid.
I went from watching James Turner religiously to you Satch and I've never been happier. Even if I don't agree with your opinion (actually has never happened yet) you keep your takes so real and honest that I know I can always trust it. Thanks!
I watch both I go to Satch for the honesty and James for the funny wtf is going on let's plays tho i'm sad the for rent bugs have been so bad he's stopped the for rent let's play and idk if that's gonna be revived at some point
2:32 ehhhhhhh when you have all dlc that includes any harvestable veggies or fruits you can fill a wine depot store (a warehouse size store) with all the potential flavors. It even crosses over with alien fruits from get to work and bizarre fruit from strangerville, plasma fruit from vampires etc. I’ve spent about a year on my wine stop and it’s still not full but I’m close. I got side tracked with fully stocked grocery stores with all harvestables and edible crafts, warmers and freezers filled with most ice creams, desserts, pizzas that can’t be ordered on phone, shelves of all soda variants including Grimboocha and honey fizz, turns out the soda machine also turns out some interesting flavors with other packs
We all agree that there are so many wrong things with the sims 4 that makes it so bad. Starting from shallow gameplay for a lot of time, ending on just how wrong and unfonctiomal they are made. However I think i finally realised why they suck at it so much. They make "packs" about specific topics while literally not putting any effort into thinking what it should include. For example: Dine out. U get some items and few interactions with them and the sims. Woah. I mean it feels as if it wasnt even planned in the first place. I dont know maybe some giving the tips feature? The new career that could be live played like those 3 careers from the get to work pack? Maybe some quests to do at the job? Making clients satisfied with friendly interactions and dissatisfied with the mean ones? Some cool hidden features like maybe tryna find out the secret recipe of some cool dish? I mean omg like just GET SOME DEPTH INTO IT TO MAKE IT JUST FUN TO PLAY! Lets be honest. They are able to make fun packs. Like vampires for example. For real even tho the gameplay is still a little bit shallow and there could be more. It is a good pack afterall. It comes with lots of cool stuff and features. U can level up as a vampire u can choose what powers u wanna have and u also have to choose negative traits ur sims needs to have in order to level up. U have bunch of cool interactions with others. There is a fun story behind the town from that pack that u can rewind when making ur sim read a book. And there is more. EA is just lazy af.
Okay I haven’t watched the whole video but major kudos for shouting out the original inspo video creator! Proves how trustworthy a channel you run, you know you can trust Satch when not only is this video 100% honest about the sims 4 but also about the video itself 👏🏻
I’ve been having MAJOR game play problems lately. I have no CC downloaded and no animals that roam alone like firefly’s, animals, etc.. my game play is pretty basic. Sims 4 is boarder line not playable and becoming a frustrating experience.
I agree with HIgh School Years. I watched its trailer and was overly excited for it. But when it came to actually playing the pack, I was thoroughly disappointed that going to an active high school became a hassle.
One day I tried the career from Dream Home Decorator and it went horribly wrong. It could be my fault for playing on console, but the clients wouldn’t leave the lot and when it was time for my sim to go home, she became stuck😒
EA please find time to fix the packs that's already broken. I don't think they should release anything else until they fix the ones that's already broken!!!!!!!!!
I am always suprised when I remember how Island living added NOTHING and Dine Out doesn’t let you cook but the home chef stuff lets you run a full on cafe
I want a refund for the Rent pack. My aunt got it for me when it first came out and the Residential Rental lot type isn't available except for 3 lots in San Sequoia for some reason. I tried to get in touch with EA and they basically told me to uninstall the game and try and again. No dice. I'm so over it. The main feature of the pack doesn't even work.
I got a refund from EA one single time when the purchase of a pack didn’t go through and we accidentally bought it twice. I only wanted it because it was on sale and it ended up not mattering because 40 dollars were spent anyway. They did refund us the extra 20 dollars but the guy on the support chat seemed really hesitant. Packs should be refundable by default in my eyes even if you have to clean up your saves before you can get rid of them to avoid corruption or something. So many of them are so shit 😭😭
Bought Batuu regretted it ,after half hour gameplay and requested steam a refund , they sent me an email saying I had more than 2 hours gameplay , apparently even if u didn't use Batuu but had it on while playing sims it counts as using it , I want to scream is a trash pack
Satch, you pissing on EA while drinking with that straw is the content that has been missing in my life! I‘m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Also I think Red Dead Redemption 2 is a waaaaay better Horse Game than Horse Ranch lol
Cats and Dogs for me. The animals are so glitchy I always end up just unaliving them to get them out of my household. I had a household with 2 Huskies and they both kept running away bc they felt neglected for having to ask for food, as they sat next to two full bowls of food. They'd return home eventually but would be dirty af and would not come clean with baths. The game was so broken I couldn't even adopt them out. So out to pasture they went!
You should do a video where you talk about what packs you would rebuy immediately if you were to lose every single pack. Like what packs are so worth your money that you would want to spend your money on them a second time just to get them back if you lost them.
There’s such a problem separating out features to different packs so they can’t make new packs that utilize those features like dinning out. That’s the only reason they’re putting basic weather in project Renee base game. They f’d this up with my first pet stuff. It’s so sick how much they’ll keep separating out everything to make more money. Soon it’ll just be “pay 20$ for this new sofa” “pay 30$ if you want this new interaction”
11:30 yes, when seasons was released any account t that bought it and already had spooky stuff in their library should of had a discount applied to seasons cuz it’s a shit ton of straight repeated items with different color swatches
I can't even play with high school years or the wedding pack. I have to disable them. If they're enabled, my sims can't eat at home & if I try to use them, my game will freeze. I have to restart my whole laptop. It's annoying 🤦🏾♀
I have tried the dream home decorator career once hoping to find something new to do. I couldn't finish any jobs, because it glitched every time I tried to charge the customer. Ended up making no money and not being able to pick up new jobs before I manually cancelled the last one and made everyone upset. A great experience, haven't touched the pack since other than certain build mode objects.
The fact that they can code a whole star wars gameplay but can't get a simple wedding to work just makes me want to scream
The funny thing is that I own the Star Wars pack, but have never played it. I have never gone to Batu. I only use a couple of the build items.

I get the opposite. I follow their preferences to the T and more often than not, they hate the makeover. I’m an expert builder too.

Best I can be happy about is that we can see the items that come with packs before buying, so at least we can clearly see the recolored and reused items before forking over the money
lazy can be used to describe everything about sims 4 lol.
If only the retail and dine out packs actually were well done, I would have seriously not have bought half the packs I ended up buying.

0:31 satch what is that straw😭😭😭
OH MY
I want it
the straw⁉⁉😭
Barbie: Race & Ride was the last time "girls" had a good horse game. 😂
You fixed your hair I make sure the check my sources before buying a pack I don't just buy journey to Batu or get famous I'll get packs like city living and get the work
Red Dead Redemption is a good horse game for girls
@@mojyoqueen350 rdr2 is my favorite girly game fr
Witcher 3 serves me well as a good horseback combat game too 💀
I came to say this. I bought game for my daughter and I loved it. Now my daughter plays red dead 2. lol
If only EA stood for what now 😂😂😂😂😂
I LAUGHED SO HARD 😭😭😭
My face 😮😮😮😳😳😳😱😱😱
im dead asf😭😭 ive replayed that part like 4 times
I wish there were an option to purchase the build/buy items outside of the horrible buggy packs
I just want the worlds at this point. Leave the real creating to the modders. 🙄
SATCH HAD A CAT THIS WHOLE TIME???
He’s such a cat dad. Coming from a cat mom. He has that energy
What makes this even more painful is knowing the Sims 4 is the last Sims game we will ever get.
i think other life sims are coming out soon
@mynameisntactually Yeah InZOI is coming in March and Paralives early access is coming at some point this year.
@@DelveWithMelim so excited for inzoi
Devs don't know how to code and script the game properly. That's why they pumped out kit pack out a lot recently.
I love that the issue with a lot of these packs aren’t even the packs themselves but rather the fact that they are so poorly optimized that they are next to unplayable without breaking the immersion.
What a cute kitty in the back 🥺
dine out needs a refresh!!! they just gave up
honestly if they don't feel like fixing it they could just buy Carl's dine out mod plop it in the game and say they refreshed it that would probably be better than anything they'd do for the pack anyways it's a win-win we get a working pack and all they have to do is throw a few bucks to a modder and get money from all the simmers hyping the pack up because it works and is fun now but they wouldn't do that cause it might make them look bad as if they don't already look bad enough lol
Disappointed that for rent is not on the list. Simmers need to be demanding the bugs in it get fixed or it's going to be abandoned like other packs on your list.
University pack makes me feel like I'm actually in college. Like I don't want that I'm on summer break. I wanted it to be fun.
I feel like majority of simmers just buy the DLCs for the build/buy mode.
Absolutely agree with the butler malfunctioning -- they at least need to add an action to the "management" section of the butler communication to be able to direct the butler to do the chores they missed. Most of the time my sims are pissed about how dirty their fitness area is and the butler is standing across the house, doing that dumb action where they swipe their finger and pretend there is no dust.
I mean, I guess it's good because your sim can still build their handiness skill and earn a neat trait. That said, I don't think that the butler was optimized together with the release of Bust the Dust.
that side eye from sophia at 6:48 xD
I've learned my lessons with game, stuff and kit packs... I'm waiting until EA throws them up for free moving forward, and only buying expansions when a super sale is happening. I'm tired of giving EA money for an extremely broken game...
sail the seven seas, it's a lot easier
I turned all the beaches in island living into nude beaches with the clothing optional lot trait 😂
omg thank you for the shout out satch!! 🥺(love your channel btw
i love ur videos :) i still think about the occult baby challenge on a regular basis
sometimes I think, im the only person who has never seen any very bad bugs in dine out
It's always worked for me even on my old low end potato computer. I don't seem to get many bugs/glitches.
WE DON’T WANT FREE EARBUDS.
I’m glad you made the point about JtB. It is a VERY niche experience but as a huge Star Wars and sims fan I enjoyed it. It was my first standalone game pack purchase and I was hesitant because of the reviews but it’s honestly not bad.
The droid and lightsaber gameplay is great and if you have seasons you can gift lightsabers to npcs to make more opponents. The storyline was decent (coming from someone who didn’t like the sequels). Personally I think they should’ve leaned into the occult side of Star Wars more than the vacation side making it a full world with a new sim state (force-sensitive). I also think the aspirations and storyline should’ve revolves around Jedi vs sith which is a more universal Star Wars theme than first order vs rebels.
But it’s not a bad pack and it’s comparable to me to other occult packs which are also quite niche.
If you want an action/adventure Star Wars experience I’d suggest Jedi survivor and if you want a tactical roleplay Star Wars experience I’d suggest knights of the old republic. But Jtb has its place as a Star Wars roleplay simulator game. At the moment it has the best character customization of any Star Wars game by a mile.
It seems like there is so little passion being put into the game.
Hi Satch! I'm just binging all of your let's plays and WE NEED MORE, i love them, they're so funny and make my day
I got my first pet stuff and the fitness kit that comes with yoga in a bundle for an expansion I did want. City Living? Maybe? All I remember is it was one that had literally nothing to do with pets or fitness, so I had no idea why it was bundled this way. But the bundle was cheaper than just getting City Living by itself so I went with it. I do enjoy having yoga in my game, but not so much that I ever would have bought it on purpose. I've never used anything from my first pet stuff.
i believe yoga is the "wellness" pack. i got my first pet stuff for free and i would be appalled if i spent money on it, its literally nothing.
I bought Wedding Stories exclusevely because of the world lfmao, it became some sort of "wealthy destination" in my game
Not me rewinding the video 4 times going, "wtf is going on with that straw🤔...? Is there something stuck to it🧐..? Wait🤨. Are those😳...!?!? IS THAT A😳😧...!?!" 🍆!!!
🙄🤦♀️😂
Come to think of it, the only part of Dream Home Decorator I use is the modular furniture.
1:16 I've tried to replay High School Years and my sim sometimes does not leave the house no matter how many times I send her to school. Her grades are always C despite doing all tasks and following the list, no matter what I do, no matter how much she studies and no matter how many A's she gets on exams her grade is locked on C.
I like the things that came with high school years, mainly the new after school activities and the boba tea lot. But honestly it should have been a game pack, not an expansion. So glad I bought it on sale
And personal nitpick, the exercise task at live school is dumb 💀
I have been checking european laws and we have 30 days after update to ask for a refund. Since the game is constabtly modified, it counts as continuous content. And I am currently asking for a refund. Ofc they wont give it to me, but I will sue since I have been documenting how poorly ts4 and ea support team perform. I'll let you in on it if you guys want. Much loce!
If any country/union actually made EA do shit properly it probably would be the EU. So good luck
Dine out and HS years just won’t work. I don’t have mods or CC installed either, so it can’t be that, but waiters won’t sit customers, it takes hours to get your food, and for HS years, my sims will literally just stand there instead of attending any classes :(
11:07 you shut your face I love that ice cream maker combined with a sales table and on hot days turning every townie sim blue with mocha ice cream lololol or making em breath fire with dragons breath… haunted or mentally unstable.. or I to plant sims… it’s a taste of old sim shenanigans but yea it’s basically the only thing I use from that pack anymore and the ceiling lamp but everything else is pretty low poly dated
I want a refund on Get Famous. The world is horrible, celebrities are annoying and building up the acting career is sooo repetitive. Plus CAS BB are awful. The fame system which is good is not enough for me to want this pack
It needed to go further as well. Like a whole pack about about getting famous and it only game with acting? It needed to have singing, bands, dancer, model. So much more could have been done
ive been playing sims 3 recently more and am amazed by how responsive it is on the PC i am fortunate to have today versus the computer i used to run it on where it would lag so much. its so refreshing how the sims actually stop what they're doing when i cancel a task instead of continuing to climb stairs, etc, its kind of weird to realize how frustrated i get with how slow sims are to do things or to stop doing things when playing sims 4. and the alt button works like it does in 4, you can match outfits and buy and build objects, customize so many things. im much more invested in the sims 3 gameplay.
Love that My First Pet Stuff isn't there just because if you buy it it's 100% on you for not heeding the many, many, MANY red flags. like you're so right but omg
I stupidly bought it with that Steam Pet Lover bundle on a sale. I really wanted the kid furniture items, but it was 100 percent on me for being stupid.
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE STRAW UNTIL I READ THE COMMENTS 😭😭😭
I went from watching James Turner religiously to you Satch and I've never been happier. Even if I don't agree with your opinion (actually has never happened yet) you keep your takes so real and honest that I know I can always trust it. Thanks!
I watch both I go to Satch for the honesty and James for the funny wtf is going on let's plays tho i'm sad the for rent bugs have been so bad he's stopped the for rent let's play and idk if that's gonna be revived at some point
2:32 ehhhhhhh when you have all dlc that includes any harvestable veggies or fruits you can fill a wine depot store (a warehouse size store) with all the potential flavors. It even crosses over with alien fruits from get to work and bizarre fruit from strangerville, plasma fruit from vampires etc. I’ve spent about a year on my wine stop and it’s still not full but I’m close. I got side tracked with fully stocked grocery stores with all harvestables and edible crafts, warmers and freezers filled with most ice creams, desserts, pizzas that can’t be ordered on phone, shelves of all soda variants including Grimboocha and honey fizz, turns out the soda machine also turns out some interesting flavors with other packs
We all agree that there are so many wrong things with the sims 4 that makes it so bad. Starting from shallow gameplay for a lot of time, ending on just how wrong and unfonctiomal they are made.
However I think i finally realised why they suck at it so much. They make "packs" about specific topics while literally not putting any effort into thinking what it should include. For example: Dine out. U get some items and few interactions with them and the sims. Woah. I mean it feels as if it wasnt even planned in the first place. I dont know maybe some giving the tips feature? The new career that could be live played like those 3 careers from the get to work pack? Maybe some quests to do at the job? Making clients satisfied with friendly interactions and dissatisfied with the mean ones? Some cool hidden features like maybe tryna find out the secret recipe of some cool dish? I mean omg like just GET SOME DEPTH INTO IT TO MAKE IT JUST FUN TO PLAY!
Lets be honest. They are able to make fun packs. Like vampires for example. For real even tho the gameplay is still a little bit shallow and there could be more. It is a good pack afterall. It comes with lots of
cool stuff and features. U can level up as a vampire u can choose what powers u wanna have and u also have to choose negative traits ur sims needs to have in order to level up. U have bunch of cool interactions with others. There is a fun story behind the town from that pack that u can rewind when making ur sim read a book. And there is more.
EA is just lazy af.
Okay I haven’t watched the whole video but major kudos for shouting out the original inspo video creator! Proves how trustworthy a channel you run, you know you can trust Satch when not only is this video 100% honest about the sims 4 but also about the video itself 👏🏻
I’ve been having MAJOR game play problems lately. I have no CC downloaded and no animals that roam alone like firefly’s, animals, etc.. my game play is pretty basic. Sims 4 is boarder line not playable and becoming a frustrating experience.
13:36 So the toddler pack is literally just the warning of what was going to happen with growing together
My teen sims will graduate early, go to university and STILL get asked if they want to go to prom or skip it 😭
Stupid prom, I hate it haha
The Sims 5 open world map leaked, you should cover it. Also apparently they are moving from the Frostbite engine to Unreal Engine for Sims 5 🤷
High school years, dine out and snowy escape are the ones i regret buying.
I agree with HIgh School Years. I watched its trailer and was overly excited for it. But when it came to actually playing the pack, I was thoroughly disappointed that going to an active high school became a hassle.
Since Dying together (Life and Death) I haven't got the prom notifications D:
One day I tried the career from Dream Home Decorator and it went horribly wrong. It could be my fault for playing on console, but the clients wouldn’t leave the lot and when it was time for my sim to go home, she became stuck😒
Not your fault that's just a classic case of EA not caring enough to fix bugs happens to the best of us lol
I think sims 4 toddlers are the best toddlers in the entire series
EA please find time to fix the packs that's already broken. I don't think they should release anything else until they fix the ones that's already broken!!!!!!!!!
I am always suprised when I remember how Island living added NOTHING and Dine Out doesn’t let you cook but the home chef stuff lets you run a full on cafe
Not the straw, no! 😭
your cat at the end omg 🥺❤️
I want a refund for the Rent pack. My aunt got it for me when it first came out and the Residential Rental lot type isn't available except for 3 lots in San Sequoia for some reason. I tried to get in touch with EA and they basically told me to uninstall the game and try and again. No dice. I'm so over it. The main feature of the pack doesn't even work.
Also, the "likes & dislikes" are soooooo shallow. 😬
I got a refund from EA one single time when the purchase of a pack didn’t go through and we accidentally bought it twice. I only wanted it because it was on sale and it ended up not mattering because 40 dollars were spent anyway. They did refund us the extra 20 dollars but the guy on the support chat seemed really hesitant.
Packs should be refundable by default in my eyes even if you have to clean up your saves before you can get rid of them to avoid corruption or something. So many of them are so shit 😭😭
I don't even but none of the sims 4 packs anymore i pirated them for free😂
14:11 don’t forget how bad the ball pit looked on release too we fought for the one we have today which is insane
Bought Batuu regretted it ,after half hour gameplay and requested steam a refund , they sent me an email saying I had more than 2 hours gameplay , apparently even if u didn't use Batuu but had it on while playing sims it counts as using it , I want to scream is a trash pack
Satch, you pissing on EA while drinking with that straw is the content that has been missing in my life! I‘m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Also I think Red Dead Redemption 2 is a waaaaay better Horse Game than Horse Ranch lol
Cats and Dogs for me. The animals are so glitchy I always end up just unaliving them to get them out of my household. I had a household with 2 Huskies and they both kept running away bc they felt neglected for having to ask for food, as they sat next to two full bowls of food. They'd return home eventually but would be dirty af and would not come clean with baths. The game was so broken I couldn't even adopt them out. So out to pasture they went!
your cat also rests their head! she's adorable! mine uses my arm as a headrest but I've never seen another cat rest their head like that
You should do a video where you talk about what packs you would rebuy immediately if you were to lose every single pack. Like what packs are so worth your money that you would want to spend your money on them a second time just to get them back if you lost them.
The other students need to automatically decorate their lockers to make the school more lively.
Journey to Batu doesn't allow you to become a jedi....😅😂
I asked for rent to be refunded. They refused.
There’s such a problem separating out features to different packs so they can’t make new packs that utilize those features like dinning out. That’s the only reason they’re putting basic weather in project Renee base game. They f’d this up with my first pet stuff. It’s so sick how much they’ll keep separating out everything to make more money. Soon it’ll just be “pay 20$ for this new sofa” “pay 30$ if you want this new interaction”
11:30 yes, when seasons was released any account t that bought it and already had spooky stuff in their library should of had a discount applied to seasons cuz it’s a shit ton of straight repeated items with different color swatches
I can't even play with high school years or the wedding pack. I have to disable them. If they're enabled, my sims can't eat at home & if I try to use them, my game will freeze. I have to restart my whole laptop. It's annoying 🤦🏾♀
Island living broke my game, ruined my saves, and I have never played the sims since, over 6 years now 😊
I don't think I ever even bought Spooky Stuff. I just kind of have it and I don't know why
I have tried the dream home decorator career once hoping to find something new to do. I couldn't finish any jobs, because it glitched every time I tried to charge the customer. Ended up making no money and not being able to pick up new jobs before I manually cancelled the last one and made everyone upset. A great experience, haven't touched the pack since other than certain build mode objects.
