So this happened
I think this is a bad move and bad sign
This just prove that the pack is lackluster and they are afraid to show it to reviewers who are welling to criticize the pack
And that they don't take well to being criticized.

it is fairly lackluster.
I'm still looking forward to LGR's review, and going by his tweets, he doesn't seem to think too highly of it, but I still want to know the areas of improvement. I don't think this necessarily means the pack is bad anyway.

The first impressions in discords that I'm in yesterday were not that good. The fact that LGR did not get a review copy kind of makes me think like OP.
Life simmer last upload was 9 months ago i think it's reasonable for her to not get a code where as lgr is still uploading

Here, let me finish the steps of this thread:
This is confirmation that the pack is bad and EA is bad and should feel bad.

THE END
I guess we'll just see. It could be a sign that the reception is bad or maybe not. I think it's inevitable that there will be negative reception, so let's just wait for the reviews.

I agree. I am just waiting till Monday now, instead of watching the review today, that's the only difference. I was quite surprised with the amount of bug fixes we got before this EP, so I'm kind of confused in whether I want to buy it now or not
I hope my Sims and lots aren't too terrible!
No it called having an opinion. He isn't required to give EA a good review if he doesn't feel the game deserves a good review. That is what being a critic is about, people who receive freebies and give constantly good reviews are not independent critics, they are sales people hired by the company. If EA wants an honest, good review they should try putting out a good product. People should also be capable of forming their own opinions when watching reviews. Reviews are there to showcase the product.
Same! Already played it and I like it overall, but LGR is always fair with his reviews, and he's entertaining to boot.

So a pack is a lackluster just because one person didn't get a review copy, even though many people are enjoying this pack? Seriously lots of people are enjoying this pack and this is a total lackluster because of a reviewer that didn't get a copy?
Anyways I am pretty sure there is a different reason, other than because they don't want to be criticized. TBH if you look at other games, there are even reviewers or youtubers that actually do more than criticizing a game that still get early copies. Blackpantaa is an example, He was a youtuber who bashed NFS Rivals so hard at ghost games and even returned a copy of NFSMW 2012 to EA because he hated the Game so much, Continuing Criticizing the game, Yet he still received early access to latest releases.

Edit: also ive found a few new youtube Channels i didnt know about before
There have been times in the past LGR didn't get a code, I don't believe he got one ever during the Sims 3 era - actually he was surprised the first time he did during the TS4 lifecycle and said so in the video. So I would guess he is one of the creators who got rotated out for this pack, which given that his channel is a lot more than just sims, makes sense that he would be one of those who gets rotated and only gets codes sometimes, vs someone who has a sims dedicated channel. I enjoy LGR but honestly I don't base my decision solely on his reviews and certainly not on whether or not he got a review copy.
I doubt this is some kind of crazy conspiracy. I've had the game a few hours so far and am enjoying it. Everything I've seen online looks good overall, my biggest criticism is that there should have been some kind of TNS tooltip to clarify how adoption works since it is different from other services, the money isn't taken when you call, you have to meet the pet, then click on it if you actually want to adopt otherwise the appointment ends and they vanish. And while I so far like that pets are not controllable, I would have liked an option for the portion of the ui that shows traits/learned behaviors to show up. You can see those things about your pet via social menues and such but I would have liked a summary to glance at. Seriously not a big deal though. So really, what do you think they are hiding? They gave the code to streamers, and you can't exactly hide game faults on a several hour live stream - if it goes wrong, it's live.
Judge the pack on its own merits, or at least on the merits of reviews, rather than based on who got a code!
She probably didn't get a copy because she hasn't uploaded in like a year. Hope she's doing okay, but that's very likely why. And LGR probably didn't get one because he doesn't mince his words and is very honest about what he likes and doesn't like.
If you're that passionate about opinions, why not buy each pack yourself and play them and form your own opinion instead of relying on a YouTuber who got his subscribers by pandering to the anti EA crowd?
