  • I swore I'd never buy a kit, but I couldn't resist the decor and pastel pop kits. I actually wish more kits were more niche like the pastel pop, while still covering most rooms in the house; I think pulmbella did pretty amazing and put a lot of thought into it. I was surprised I liked it more than the decor kit, but…
  • oooh this is a tricky one! I'm torn between saying history and German. Like a lot of you guys, I was lucky to have a fantastic history teacher, who talked about history like she was reading from an adventure novel. But she also retired part-way through the last year, and German became my favourite subject (though I wasn't…
  • If the gameplay is there, it's pretty much a yes for me, and might be the only game pack I buy full price. The news of a new occult finally got me playing sims 4 after a longish break, and I'm excited about the news of having vampire and werewolf tensions (though I'm a bit not a fan of the werewolf look...). However, I'm…
  • Thank you for the giveaway and the fun survey! Somehow I got alpha wolf... I'm exactly none of those things in real life tho 😂.
  • Also getting weird vibes from this thread. As someone who is queer, I don't feel that the sims team have been particularly brilliant at LGBT+ inclusion, and I don't feel there's an overwhelming amount of it compared to other types of representation. The clothes update is still bugged (though it's easier to get long hair…
  • I'm a fan of using a fantasy religion, like the ones from medieval as others have mentioned. This is actually something I'd really like, because I feel having different belief systems is what makes a game world more real and interesting. I don't want to see real religions used (though I'm not personally against the small…
  • I've entered a few giveaways (thank you!) so I'm interested, but even though I love building in the sims (and kitchens), I can't justify paying full-price for the objects when the gameplay is lacking. The cas is a little squiggly too (excusing the utilikilt). I really wish gameplay was a little stronger - it'd be an…
  • You may have made the decision already, but Spa day definitely. Sadly, dine out is buggy, and seems to break as often as it's fixed. I think a nice replacement for dine out is get together's cafes, if you really want somewhere for your sims to catch up and eat. There's also lounges and bars etc - not the same, but I feel I…
  • I love building, so I should love this pack, but instead I'm left asking what else is there. It feels like the free patch has more gameplay, which is great - imo s4 has become more fun to play after the recent updates, but I don't think that excuses the cost of a gamepack for so little gameplay. I'm hoping maybe there'll…
  • My style was Coastal -"Combining a laid-back look with nautical nods, you create spaces with a permanent vacation vibe" Thank you for doing this! Fun and generous, and my style suits (though I also like homey interiors too)! That said though, did anyone else dislike all the dining room options? I can't see my guests in any…
  • I rarely go on the forums atm, so this post was a surprise and joy to see. Thanks so much for sharing your story op, so happy for you!!
  • Mixed. I love playing with supernatural families, so I want to see some good, solid, family gameplay first, and also, some fantasy items for kids/toddlers too. I'm tired of packs like rom not coming with either cas or bb child-specific objects. That said, I do love fairies, and if they were done well (better than…
  • I'm tired of the sims and I've been waiting for a competitor so I can jump ship. Sadly, I'm poor, so will need to wait until the price drops a little before buying, but unless s5 turns out to be amazing, I'm planning to move to paralives soon after it launches.
  • I have 3 subscription services in my life already, including adobe cc, which is nightmarishly expensive, and unfortunately, without alternatives. I have no intention (or budget) to add yet another service, let alone for a game, especially one as ill-suited for subscription as the sims.
  • I've got all except for knitting, which I'm waiting for a sale (played on friend's computer though!) like I do for all stuff packs. All 5 are pretty solid packs, but if you're planning on getting/have snowy escape, I'd avoid fitness stuff, as the climbing feature is already there (though maybe that's an argument to get it…
  • Whims were the little 'wishes' near your sim's portrait (they've been disabled automatically since 2018-ish but you can enable them in s4 settings if you want to check them out - they're sadly not updated for the latest packs though). Here's a new mod overview for anyone who wants improved whims and can use mods - it also…
  • I still remember my sim going out in the depths of winter to play with clay and standing there with it till they froze to death. As much as I love seeing mr grim reaper, I'd prefer seeing smarter sims.
  • I like whims because they give me a goal for my sims, but they desperately need updating to be relevant to the sims as individuals.
  • I'd love this tbh. I use moo for decorating only (so not on functional objects like fridges) and generally playtest beforehand. I also do some moo free builds, but I'm not a fan of how deco slots work in S4. Instead of tagging, it'd be a lot easier to just tick a box for both playtested and moo-free builds.
  • I'm going through this with jedi fallen order, but find origin the 'best'. Epic's ok, but steam bugs out for me, and the others are 🤢. I hate having to sign into 2 at once though, so if origin could do away with this for sims 4 and other games, I'd be thrilled.
  • In some areas, they're stepping in the right direction (more family activities, skin tones), but in others (batuu, concept recycling, bugs) they're getting worse. I'm reserving judgement in case the patch and pack has some super surprise content, but otherwise feel the good doesn't balance out the bad. Talking se…
  • I play s3 and s4 concurrently. When I say s4 needs more gameplay, it's not that it doesn't have any, but that it is sorely lacking for what I want out of a sandbox game. Imo, the newest ep lacks gameplay because: -the main activities are tied to one world - there are few house-only activites (no mini snow/dirt pile for…
  • The sims 3/4 (mostly 3) are the core games I keep on my computer and play regularly. I play semi-regularly continually updating games eg. stardew valley, my time in portia and minecraft and will re-install them when a new update drops. I also play single player games semi-regularly, but have a real problem with finishing…
  • I already bought seasons and fitness stuff, so as much as I'd love Japanese culture/items, I feel like 2 selling points have been done before (snow, climbing) and another (snowboarding) should have been included in seasons. Imo S4's expansion packs don't expand the overall game enough, and have too few consequences with…
  • I think reality tv/bands should have been in get famous, and though I love baking, we have dine out and get to work, so a competitive cooking/reality ep would feel like a cash grab. I think romance/better interactions should be in the base game, but wouldn't be horrified if cooking competitions were a small subsection of a…
  • Thanks op, this was really fun (though maybe mine's a little mean though...)
  • This is what I'm afraid of too. When this happens in gaming, it's almost always because the product is really bad, and the devs/studio know that critics/players will trash it.
