During EAs Winter Sale I had my first out of body experience, I just went into a sort of trance like state, bought all of the packs and haven't looked at my bank account since 🤡

The best part about City Living is how real it is: the run down apartments and lot traits, the festivals and food stalls, the noisy neighbours and to top it off the karaoke & singing skill is a cute bonus 🥰

[missshai]

Fun fact: you can't use the small telescope in the San Myshuno apartments because the game doesn't register the decks as outside.

I know this is kind of niche, but I play on long lifespan, and one of my favorite packs is Discover University. I feel like it is the only thing in the game that was tuned for long lifespans, whether they intended that or not. I give my sims 2 courses a semester, and that perfectly balances the amount of time spent focusing on school and actually having a life. It also takes up a good chunk of the ya life stage, but there's still a lot left once you graduate. It feels very representative of real life. And since toddlers have an absurd 28-day life stage, which makes them very boring very quickly, I like to dump them at their grandparents and then go off to university. By the time I'm done, they're usually a child 😂

I think Island Living's problem is not necesarily the lack of hotels, because that was never the intent or the focus of the pack, but rather that they didn't commit to any of the features that come in the pack, like tha fact, for example, that you have no real way of knowing there is ton of different events that happen in Sulani because the game doesn't bother to let you know like it does with City Living, Snowy Escape and Cottage Living, even the celebrity events fot Get Famous are in the calendar; the career is also repetitive and boring after a while, but so are the rest of the careers in TS4, however perhaps if there were more like a Geologist career for example (you know, cause there is a literal volcano there), there would be more variety that encourages the player to live and play in Sulani, there is the odd jobs sistem, but I have never used that in my entire life, so idk if it is good and Sulani itself if probably, hands down, the most beautiful world in the entire game, but it doesn't save the pack from being just middle of the road. I will say that, with the update on rental lots that allow us to place them anywhere, I have used Island Living more and some of its featrues as well.

The problem with the sims 4 expansions is the fact that they don't expand the game at all, except seasons but that should be base game so

The quality and overall style of the packs seem very random. Some of the build and CAS items are too themed (Cats and Dogs, University) while others (Get Together, Eco Lifestyle) are more simple and versatile. I'm a builder, and it's really hard to not reuse the same items sometimes because despite the nice bed frame, I don't want a llama quilt or paw prints on everything. 😅

I’m glad island living didn’t come with hotels. It’s annoying when the place one lives is always in games as a holiday destination rather than a place to live. So for that reason, I’m glad there’s no hotels in Sulani

I hope you had a pleasant valentine's day Satch!

Love how in depth this is!! Keep smashing it! ❤

[Smileynathi]

you are my favorite Sims youtuber currently, thank you so much for all your effort and content

[meglovessims]

I love City Living too!! Thanks for a great video to start my morning

[bookcat]

I actually use the Cats & Dogs CAS a lot, though admittedly the hairs are not great.

Edit: Also, I still say Island Living is a great pack that suffers from poor advertising and false expectations. Everyone blames it for no hotels and bad mermaids - but it’s really not a vacation or supernatural pack! These are things people expected or wanted, but not what it is. Might as well say Get to Work’s gameplay is terrible because it doesn’t have kids’ summer camps and the aliens aren’t developed.

[BasicallyTheres]

The build/buy and even cas in island living is really cool and I love using the pack for that.. for build/buy i akao recommend the jungle adventure pack, that's a hidden gem for building

[MementoMori]

I personally think the Cats and Dog hairstyles with the ears is on my list of one of the most cursed items 😂😶, along with the eyeball ring and the Moschino pink shoes. 😵‍💫

[tyisamess]

Honestly waiting for sales or getting bundles is the way to go if you wanna get a lot of packs without spending a ton of money.

I would love to see you do this for game packs. I'd be really interested to know your take on Strangerville. Everyone always says its a bad pack for replayability but to be honest I had way more fun and was way more engaged playing strangerville than I did vampires, which I personally found quite boring in the higher levels because you just do the same thing over and over again :/ But again, would be super interested in your take!

Hi satch love this honest opinion hope you have a good rest of your day :)

My Opinions

12. High School Years - 1/10
I like the teen gameplay bit it's broken and buggy

11. Eco Lifestyle - 1.3/10
The NAP system is annoying

10. Snowy Escape - 2/10
It should be part of seasons

9. Get to Work - 2.6/10
Sims 2 retails is better but the rest are good

8. Island Living - 3/10
It's watered down of Island Paradise also Mermaids are causing Performance Issues

7. Cats and Dogs - 3.4/10
Lack of Gameplay for Pets

6. Get Famous - 6/10
I like realistic celebs, but it's annoying how Judith Ward or celebs in general are in the non-celeb park

5. Discover University - 7/10
Stressful pack but worth it

4. City Living - 7.6/10
I Like the City Life more than Base Game Life

3. Cottage Living - 8/10
I like everything about this pack

2. Seasons - 9/10
Yes, I know it's a popular pack and i know you disagree with me but its should be in the base game tho
In my opinion Seasons is my 2nd Fav

1. Get Together - 10/10
I like the club system, and more possibilities in this pack, it so base game overhaul that i liked.

Thats just my opinion
