  • Gameplay and overview of the FOURTEENTH expansion pack to The Sims 4. This time it's all about HORSE ranching. And some goats and sheep, too. Riding, breeding, competitions, cave diving, nectar making, mustaches, denim... Is it worth the $40 price tag? Let's see!

    Modders found coding for horses as early as Cats & Dogs, and the world had a style that looked like it was meant to include them. There's also a unicorn object in the debug menu. It's pretty clear that developers have intentions of including a lot more features in these packs, but they are on such a strict deadline, they can't complete them in time and are told to put them in another pack and tie a pretty bow around it. The piecemealing is actually laughable and quite sad.

    • @phpacos12
      @phpacos12 ปีที่แล้ว +83

      It is not just deadline. Is the intention of milking the customer for as much expansions as possible, so they are restricted to not put to much content in just one expansion. It is not deadline, it's just greed.

      Kind of a shame that you see the teams were working on including horses earlier in Cats & Dogs, but the bonehead higher ups gave them a stricter deadline to ensure that no more content than the bare minimum be added to any 1 expansion pack.
      If these expansions were $20, then I'd buy into that (still as expensive as $20 is for what you get). I have never, and absolutely will never, pay $40. If they're going to strictly limit the content that they put into these things, why shouldn't we set the top dollar we're willing to spend on them?

People that have grown to like life simulation games most likely grew up playing the older sims games and even though EA is still doing this greedy stuff, these old fans will still buy the game despite that. There's a reason that Life by You and Paralives are being propped up currently, competition. Competition, if it poses a large enough threat to profits, usually forces a company to innovate and try new things.

    This expansion is really content that should have been in Cats and Dogs or Cottage Living. Horses to be fair could be an entire expansion pack on their own, but you need more than this. A riding school option would have been nice. Teaching your horse to pull a cart perhaps. More active horse events like horse racing, show jumping and dressage etc where the player actually has some control beyond skill levels to win. Once again. EA have provided the bare minimum. It should be half the price that it is.

    My adult daughter breed Nigerian goats. Having a baby bond with you, and cuddle until they fall asleep on your lap is a amazing experience. Very sociable and loving animals.

    Considering the Barbie movie came out recently it feels like a missed opportunity to not make a sim look like Ken and give him the horse lover trait.

      I’m honestly a little surprised EA didn’t do some kind of Barbie tie-in for Sims

      They need a deal with Mattel to do stuff like that I think.

      @@Kintsugi23 If they do that, it'll be a kit. EA does nothing for free, they just look at all of us like we're walking wallets that owe them all of our money.

    I always smile when I see a new LGR sims review. The pain he endures for us while making these just brings a smile to my face 😃

    I miss when packs were 40 dollars in Canada. They decided to charge us American a couple years ago so now each expansion pack costs over 60 dollars with tax.

      Jesus. Here in Singapore they just charged us $50 SGD. Including tax. And our currencies are pretty much identical. Man you guys got screwed.
