For example: lilsimsie plays the sims since the sims 3. But would she be more critical if she played the sims 1 & 2 a lot more?
I play the sims since 2000 and thats why i can see the sims 4 is lacking. The expansions they put out are not on the same level as the sims 1 and sims 2?

I would love TS4 too if it paid my rent.
I agree with @haneul though, we all like different things in different ways. I never expected the sims 4 to be the same game as sims 3 or 2 or 1. I prefer some of the systems from sims 4 over those of sims 3 and vice versa.
I recently played sims 2 for a bit ( I didn’t “grow up” with sims, but that doesn’t make me less of a simmer) and there are a bunch of really great features in that iteration that I’d love to see in Sims 4, however it doesn’t necessarily mean TS2 is “better” than the rest because the majority seems to think that way. A lot of that is also nostalgia tugging at your dear dear hearts.
We all have different preferences for stuff. Some see improvements, others see “lack of”. Oh well. 😅
Plus it's actually more sandbox tell your own stories and I love that. Also love my sims and their emotions too. Older sims had attraction and whatnot but felt like stone to me.
But as a YouTuber I don't see the point of crying and moaning constantly about how bad ts4 is to older games. Leave that to twitter. Otherwise I'll just change the channel because it's like okkkkkaaayy... so you don't like it? Go play ts3?
Voicing a few complaints or lacking things you'd like to see is fine. But after it seems like your dedicating your life to trashing a video game it starts to become....weird...o.O
Ts4 ts3 or ts2 is not for everyone. Different people like different things and there is no harm in that 😌 plus the whole point is to have fun with it on YouTube and share your fun adventures with others. I've watched lots of youtubers just creating fun dramatic stories.
Honestly I feel like there are plenty of ts4 critics out there for those interested.

Though I’ve played a lot of Sims 1-2 in the past, lately, I have been preferring to play Sims 4 and Sims 3 instead, and Sims 4 is one of my top favorites right now. (I’ve been playing since Sims 1.)
However, I am aware of areas where Sims 4 is lacking. At the same time, though, I am tired of dealing with that kind of constant negativity, and I just want to focus on just playing (and interacting with nicer fellow Sims 4 fans).
I think some YouTubers do know some of the lacking areas, too, and they do list some of the disappointments and cons alongside the good stuff/pros. But, it’s been several years, and I think YouTubers already know what to expect out from Sims 4 nowadays.
I follow the more positive YouTubers because I got tired of the folks who kept constantly lamenting about older Sims games, and I was tired of that kind of negativity. I am glad to find more positive YouTubers and sims fans who actually enjoy Sims 4 instead of making me feel awful about liking Sims 4 like the forums did when Sims 4 first came out.

Thanks for this! I have loved Sims 1 and Sims 2, but nowadays, I prefer to play Sims 4 (and a bit of Sims 3 with mods). It’s nice to find some fellow Simmers who also like Sims 4.

That's interesting. I love lilsimsie. I think she is the one I like just as a person the most. She is very kind and is constantly thanking her fans in her videos. I mainly watch her tutorial videos. She has taught me so many building tricks. It's hard to follow her gameplay videos because she talks so fast, yells at her Sims, and they are always catching fire and dying lol. Our gameplay style is so different. My game is very peaceful. All the youtube and twitch Sims gamers seem to play like that. I'm really looking forward to her more real life vlogs as well as her builds, because she is building a house in real life now too. I just don't really listen to any Simmer reviews anymore. Especially not since they all bashed my Batuu baby. I love that pack, so they have no credibility with me anymore. They need to learn the importance of being able to give your Sim a lightsabre and have R2D2 follow around beside you before they try to teach me which packs are good.
I do know what you mean because I've played from 2000 as well, for example the number of interactive objects and socializations, stuff to do at locations, business retail play, feels lacking in these packs overall. However the graphics now are so stunning you just can't compare. Also, there are a lot of new animations and places that are amazing. So maybe they are going for higher quality experience and less quantity of objects and socials. I think even if they just added lots of simple things, it would certainly be welcome. Just because I want everything from Sims 1&2, and also Sims Freeplay, as well as brand new things created, all added to my Sims 4 game doesn't mean I am critical in a hateful way. I just want everything.
Some might show how they feel more often than not, often youtubers have a specific style they tend to follow which works for them so as for the youtuber that you mentioned the impression I have gotten is that she is sometimes very positive and sometimes also very negative about some things.
She likes to say "This is the worst day of my life". And that's part of her style and that's also what makes her videos fun to watch.

The reality is that some people like the Sims 4 regardless of its limitations. Some of the features people desperately want back are features that I personally hope don’t make a comeback. We all like different things
I don’t watch that many exclusively Sim Youtubers. But all the ones I watch including Lilsimsie do criticize the game from time to time. Obviously there are some that do it more than others.

For starters, theres no grocery stores and as an avid player of the other sims games, its super boring and repetitive. Where are the burglars and the police? Where are the mishaps which made the game so exciting and imo, gave it a kick. Its literally the same thing everyday.
The GPs and EPs are all the same too, eventually you finish doing everything but theres no possibility of any change because they've been designed to just be playable a limited number of times before they give us a new pack.
Dont get me wrong, I have imagination but I can only think of so much before it gets monotonous. I mean, we do pay quite a bit of money for it.
The base game is bland and I highly feel like its a way to milk money from the community because EA and devs know we are willing to pay.
Why is my sim able to cheat with a married man? Where are the consequences from doing it? Isnt there a way for certain sims to be faithful and avoid interactions with my sim if she continues to intrude on their love life??
The constant loading screens between my neighbours apartment and mine are getting annoying now.
The game itself is super babyish in all honesty and its making me not want to play it until major changes happen. I stopped playing it back in 2018 and only got into it a few day ago, there are lots of changes like added toddlers which are perfect but theres so much that needs to be done but I feel like devs are super laid back and not taking any of our critiques into consideration which is actually super wrong on their part as we're paying for good content which we arent getting.
Yall need to step it up.

Truth to be told, ''Sims 4 is lacking'', is a fact. Sims 4 lacks so much from the Sims 3. For example, no open world, no color wheel, babies tied to the crib, and at launch no pools and ghosts.
There is more, but I think you know my point, and besides, it would be to tedious to list everything that is missing in the Sims 4.
I still do play TS2 and TS3 as well, though, because like I said, there are plenty of things that both of them do better.
It's extremely narrow-minded to take the view that your opinion is "a fact" when ... well, it's not.

I think people mean it's lacking compared to what was actually in the base games of others. Those are facts when every thing is compared. We've had to wait for years for things like a smarter AI in TS4 compared to TS2 or even TS3. They are just now (going on 8 years) getting around to things they added in game updates to spruce up the Sim personality....which still can't compare to TS2 and TS3 Sims. So much that isn't in TS4 that were every day work for TS2 that it's hard to say it's not facts. When we compare EPs to EPs...even if not even in the same realm we still come up short in so many ways.
