Mermaids don’t even have their own tombstones! That’s my largest pet peeve with the Sims 4.

I think 2017-2018 was the golden era of TS4. With Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Parenthood, Vampires, and Laundry Day all released in that year.

51 MINUTES?
you’re spoiling us kayla

[SnakeEnthusiast]

I have never bought a pack full-price and honestly I doubt I ever will

Get To Work is literally one of the biggest packs in the game though. It really isn't small. Having 3 careers (even if you think the active careers are underwhelming, you can play them as regular careers), retail, a new world (I know it's tiny) and an occult. Now we get, like, one of those features in an entire expansion pack.

Just to clarify: I'm not commenting on how good the pack is or isn't. I'm talking about the size of the pack. It is one of the biggest packs in terms of gameplay and actually expanding the game. Even though the world is small, there are quite a few hidden lots that add to the experience. It's a pretty big pack, objectively.

I think it's funny that she says "I'm from florida" to justify why she's not very interested in the beach world, but also not very interested in the snow mountain world

20:52 island living lacking an island counter is comical

[dorrolorro]

Don't forget that snowy escape came with the lifestyle stuff. Like single and loving it, the workaholic lifestyle, and so on.

I just love how different opinions we all have as a community, because for me, Snowy Scape is one of the MOST COMPLETE packs ever. It has a lot of features, introduced us to Personality Traits and Rental lots (and later rental for all worlds), it has Hiking, Climbing, New Festivals, Skiing, Snowboarding. You don't need Seasons to have a different weather, and if you only have that pack and base game, you'll be just fine. And, above all that, the builds are beautiful, and don't even need to bulldoze it. The Sims team really worked hard for this one, and I remember that was the last time I was actually excited for a release

I LOVE city living I use it in like every save, even if my sims aren't living in san myshuno I go to the different festivals at least a couple of times with literally every sim. The collections you can get with posters and snowglobes and discovering new foods, mostly from non-western cultures that your sim learn how to cook after eating is all very neat and pretty fun, I think. My go to world for starter sims is also like 80% of the time going to be one of the small myshuno apartments, they're just really good.

[briclare]

clubs from get together are also great with HS gameplay. make an art club, cheer club, chess club. set the activities and requirements to teens. boom, classmates!

[AverageEggmonEnthusiast]

I really wish there was some type of bundle option with kits like 3 for $10 or something. There’s a couple that I really like but I just can’t justify it!

[SisterDizzy]

city living is my absolute favorite and three of the reasons why were omitted:

1. food stalls where you can learn the recipes. (plus my favorite death! fugu poisoning!)

2. dynamic public areas. the available stalls change. locations change

3. festivals! the spice festival is my favorite food stalls but also because i love winning the curry champion. it's a family tradition in my current save file

[FatalFrameAlchemist]

One of the things I like about the University expansion is that you can have Teens go to college if you have them graduate from High school early. It allows me to give them a head start on their career and pick up relevant skills without losing any of thr Lifespan of the Young Adult stage.

Justice for Get Famous! Yes the World isn’t great and the fancy furniture is tacky (intentionally so) but the game play is really detailed and fun!

[fuxgrl]

tell me why i just searched this thinking "oh god how outdated are they gonna be" just to see you posted this 3 hours ago??? an angel sent from heaven fr

[cheesefood]

I played base game for years until I finally caved and bought my first pack, Cottage Living. It was so much fun! I’m happy I picked it as my first one. Now there are only 2 I don’t own 😊
