20 More Random Things I Hate About The Sims 4 

i’m DYING that you said “number 4: wedding stories” and immediately moved to five 💀

Maybe they start you off in CAS bc they know it's one of the two good parts of the game. They know that if you're able to start immediately with gameplay, you'd be like "WTF is this?" They say, "hey create a sim bc it's a great system" and then they say, "hey build a house and see how great and easy we made building" and they hope that those two things will make you forget how bad gameplay is.

i dont understand why townies and teens who just aged up need to wear ALL accessories available to use like ALL face piercings, gloves, bracelets, and all rings. idc about their whacky outfits but their accessories make me actually seethe

The "number 4: my wedding stories" is spot on

Townie outfits are seriously out of control lol, I've never seen one even look remotely semi okay.

I do believe the first thing you talked about is a remnant of when The Sims 4 was going to be an online game. Just think about it: the save would not be related to the world, but to your sim progression made online. Unfortunately though, this is one of the reasons why I feel The Sims 4 is way less a sandbox game than it should be.

I was surprised when they didn’t add slumber parties to high school years..it would have fit perfectly.

1. as someone who plays TS4 primarily as a builder, this is so confusing and frustrating. Why do I need to make a Sim just to go build a house? And it has to be a new one every time, I can't even grab a random one I've already made. 3. not every fence has a matching gate, either, which drives me crazy. Or it will have a matching style gate, but not matching swatches. Or the fence will be tall but the matching gate is short.

I don't understand why apartments is STILL not a lot type so you can place apartments in any world. I would have liked to have rowhouses, townhouses or even a huge lot of individual trailers and made them into apartments to place in any world. Also, why can't we add lots to the worlds? There are some worlds where more lots could have been added. Sims 2 and Sims 3 had the ability where you could add lots of different sizes to worlds. We also can't change the terrain in the world or create a world from scratch. People always talk about how great building is in Sims 4, but I think it's overhyped because Sims 2 and Sims 3 had more building capabilities and less restrictions than Sims 4. Sims 4 finally got curved walls but there's STILL no spiral staircases to go with the curved walls. Lastly, why didn't they have the settings where you can have certain seasons in the game? We can have and remove certain weather conditions, shorten and lengthen days, so why not control the seasons? Maybe I wanted Sulani summer all year round or Mount Korembi either fall or winter all year. Those settings to control seasons could add additional gameplay.

I was finally able to start playing sims 3 again.. and so many points the sims 4 team made a huge deal about.. you could already do in sims 3. So now I’m like wow wtf what a joke. Honestly, sims 4 has been such a failure to me. This game should’ve been scrapped and re-made. But modders show every day how great the game could be and don’t use the excuse of “oh it was supposed to be an online game that’s why it’s so vanilla” … EA has single handedly set this game on fire for modders and custom content creators to put out that fire for them. I’m so glad I don’t waste my money on this BS anymore.

Ugh, I hate the misc. items as well, ESPECIALLY in the decorative category. There’s so many things that could be categorized as “clutter” or “statues”, and some debug items like the wall-mounted fish are there, when obviously they should be in wall hangings. I’d love to get hired for Sims 4 just for the sole purpose of re-organizing their build/buy catalogue.

I agree and most of it all seems to boil down to one issue: lazy/rushed programming; you can sense the attitude of "good enough, just leave it." Not saying it's actually the programmer's fault; mostly it's the fault of corporate big wigs who don't wanna pay more programmers or more time for programmers to do the job right (more swatches, more useable lots, consistency between packs, making sure content is not broken before release, etc.).

Yeah they definitely drop the ball with the world's. They could've at least had done a sims 3 and used some of those shell buildings for rabbit hole lots. Like a rabbit hole movie theater or something.

The sims 4 museums really broke my heart. In the sims 3, I would have often have my sims develop photogrghy, painting, sculpting, etc. then buy the museum and decorate it with their creations :(

Petition for Satch to be on the Sims 5 creative team

truly the first one, about not being able to play with existing households without making a new sim. like I dont want to? i never played with townies unless my sim ends up marrying them, but i wish there was an option for the new game to say "play with new or existing household?" like they do for scenarios in a way.

Speaking of the toilet pranking, I find it especially egregious in the Magic Realm. The mischief sage is constantly pranking every toilet in the area and we have all of these sims that SHOULD be able to cast both the repair and clean spells on the busted toilets, but they never do. AI controlled magic sims never cast any spells in general, which is pretty disappointing

Question for High School Years: did they add house parties while the parents are away? Boarding schools? Field trips? I have been playing Sims 3... The amount of things you can do with the older games compared to Sims 4... Also did you see the petition that Pixelade has been passing around? It's at 10k signatures if we keep it going maybe they'll fix the transparency issues 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄🤣

Sims pranking their own toilet drives me mad. MAD!!!!

The only time I ever go to museums in the sims is for my klepto sim to steal the most random item

Sims prank themselves... Wasn't sims 4 about... smarter sims? I think they lied XD they just got a 'smartphone'.. the sims themselves became dumb :')

All really good points.. It’s kind of disheartening to know that the sims team will never watch this video or address any of these issues. 😰

I always thought that the glimmerbrook house was someone's awful idea, as a nod to Harry Potter & walking through walls. I'm sure they did it on purpose. I'm also annoyed by it. 1 thing I personally hate is that they still haven't updated all of the public playgrounds to include toddler equipment. I've been expecting an update since "Toddler Stuff" came out.

What I’ve learnt…. Sims 3 is superior 🥲

1. I hate that we have juicefizzing instead of nectar making and wineries. 2. I hate that there's no active kindergarden you could build in your own home. 3. I hate that teenagers look too similar to adults. 4. I hate that supernatural sims use their damn idle animation every 5-10 seconds. 5. I hate that we can't make flour and sugar and have to buy it. 6. I hate that cottage living upgrades are tied to rng quest rewards and each upgrade costs 2-6 rng items. 7. I hate that we only have 5-6 lots in the best worlds and we can't place extra lots like in the sims 3. 8. I hate that we haven't gotten fairies yet. 9. I hate that wood colored swatches down cross-match between packs. 10. I hate that there's indoor snow in the fashion district karaoke bar because it's not recognized as an indoor area. 11. I hate that food spoils before you wrap up events. 12. I hate that your sims pass out after just 1 day of sleep depravation.

So Lucky sims4 are smarter then all previous sims. (Sarcasm on the toilet prank). 🤣🤣🤣

I wish that when my Sims write a book it would appear in the buy menu or in bookshelves at libraries. Seems sad to write a bestseller only to be forgotten later..

I have removed a ceiling from the basement and didn't have grass, I had a lovely view all the way up and down. I have also do it external from the house as well as making a huge staircase from as fair up as I can go, to the absolutely bottom could go. You have to create a separate room, remove ceiling and then remove floor above from the next floor up. It does work. I have done it so many times

Something I hate is when you’re doing the science career in the game, you have to use that one item to create potions. Well, if you have Discover University and click “tinker” or “experiment” with that item, every single second you get robotic parts and it’s so annoying. I’m trying to complete the NSB challenge so I have to do the scientist career and this annoying thing is driving me crazy

One thing i noticed with the events is that 'Dancy Party' event image has plumbobs and the group icon visible on the sims that are on the dance floor but in the other events you cant see the plumbobs or group icons. Just shows that EA really don't pay attention to what they're doing sometimes 😐. And for the wedding stories pack, the white shirt with the floral tie has **3** color swatches but makes ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE in the color or pattern of the shirt or makes barely a difference in the overall color..

i so agree with the first one. why can't i start with any premades right away

A thing that annoys me so much when I play the Sims 4 is whenever I visit a bar or a restaurant (or actually any other lot which isn‘t residential) all the NPC Sims are wearing these stupid paper bags from Eco Livestyle over their head and it annoys me so much since I can’t see anybody and I don‘t know how to turn it off!!!

There's literally aspirations around collecting and adventuring so it would be so cool if your adventurers could send stuff to the museum so there more to look at

the type of videos where he speaks facts LOVE IT

I live in the southern US. There are many old houses here with random staircases leading to nowhere. It might have been intentional.

For 14: u can remove the grass by clicking on the basement room, going back up to the first floor, and clicking on the yellow gold rimmed basement room

The other thing about the Dua Lipa hair on kids: it floats in the air. Haven't play sims for over a month, i really hope they finally fixed it (but I don't have much hope)

My pet peeve is when items in b/b don't show up when you search for them because they're named 'Princess Cordelia's Porcelain Shit Throne' instead of 'Toilet' and the description is just full of lore

I love your videos, they're honestly the best and they make my days better, so thank you!😊 One random thing that I hate is the main menu with all its news and ads that I really don't care about. All I want is to play the game in peace. I also hate the fact that there is no dark theme option.

Maybe he mentioned this in one of his previous videos, but what about the ugly eyelashes that look like eyeliner and you can't get rid of them? :( (and I laughed about the spa chairs - a very detail-oriented observing :D)

The styled looks in CAS I think is such a genius idea, however, they did not make good use of that feature’s potential. Like I have always wished I could save outfits I created and they would show up in the styled looks for two reasons: 1) future use when I’m lazy and just wanna make a sim quickly and 2) imagine if newly spawned townies got a random outfit from your styled looks instead of randomizing pure chaos outfits

The scenario/holiday check list popping back up every time you switch Sim in a household. Yes, I know my strict old grandma really wants to give a garden gnome a present, but I don’t need to see it every time I switch over to another sim in the same household. I closed it 50 times now, please, Sims. I can open it up myself again if I forgot my goal, I swear. Pinky promise.

What!! I did not know you could woohoo in the lighthouse that is If I got it right in Brindleton bay! I'm so going to test that. I have beem playing this tragick game since launch...well I quess theres always something new to learn😅

I hope you make a video with some of the small things that your viewers hate. It would be interesting to see what bugs people out there, and that might not be among your pet peeves (or that you haven't noticed). Here's mine. Building styles. You can use the filters in the build/buy mode in order to only see items matching one style. Here's the BUT, several BUTs in fact : - there's usually a few NEW styles per DLC, and then they're never updated again ; - they're not full sets ! Some will have big and small windows, some only small windows, for instance ; - if you are building/renovating something, and you've already placed, say, a door. Now you want to find the windows in the matching style, of course, but it turns out YOU CANNOT REVERSE ENGINEER IT. You can't find what style an item is part of. You have to enable the filters one by one until you find your door, and that'll mean you've now finally found the right style with the matching windows. I can't begin to tell you how nuts it drives me. Why implement a thing noone will use ? Because the consequence is, noone uses it.

The only times I go to a museum is to look at 3 paintings for the aspiration. Would've been so cool if HSY came with field trips!

Having to enter CAS every time you start a new game is the most maddening thing ever.

For me, the random thing I really dislike is that how some Retro Fit kit tops are in cold weather category. When I think of cold weather, I think of winter, so I see no reason to have some body exposed. Well, it's just because I live in colder climates...

I was trying to make this sound cooler then it is but screw it- I created myself, my partner + the kiddo in the Sims 4 game (as well as our house) because that's what you do in the Sims games. My partner walks into the upstairs bathroom and pranks the toilet. Previously, I had been watching (and trying to deflect) him from pranking the other toilets in the house. This time I thought 'just desserts' might be the right play- so when he needed to pee I had him use that same toilet he pranked. Long story made longer- he died laughing. (And that's when I found the mod where you can block certain traits!)

My number one pain as a builder is lack of good 1 tile doors especially taller ones

I truly love your videos. Your personality is to die for as well as your level of shade. Thank you.

Yay bringing out the content! Keep it up! 🌞

still haven't fixed the toddler walking animation & i absolutely hate it😭 they look so stupid & glitched out. Deffo sticking to sims 2/3

#4 wedding stories 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nothing else was said yet I was cackling 😂

Beginning in CAS was the first huge let down for me, and right away when I played Sims 4 for the first time. In Sims 3 I loved to just choose an existing household to play with. I hate creating Sims in CAS and I hate that sims 4 forces me to do it every single time I want to play with a new family.

I really hate when Sims prank the toilet of their own house, if I know who did it I normally make them use the bathroom so that they fall in their own prank.

Everything here, in your previous video, plus a few more all equally frustrating; non-playable pets(thank goodness that mod works), no cars, and no way tho customize clothes, hair, skin, and objects the way you could in the Sims 3. I got this game when it was first released in 2014 and it had fewer features than Sims 1.

Number 16- Random Townie Outfits 😅😅😅 OMG, so much truth there! I call the Townies Fashion Victims. Eye Twitchingly bad clothing combos have been a thorn in my side since I played Sims2, but Sims 4 takes it to a whole other level because of the accessories CAS can generate.

It fills my heart with joy whenever I see a popular simmer who doesn’t have the Sims 4 Journey to Batuu

I believe clothes should have to be purchased as well. I think in the initial create a sim, obviously not but once in live mode, to get new clothes you should need to shop either online or at a store or makeover salon. It would give purpose to game play

that hottub was made for 20th anniversary of sims and you couldn;t use it unless u have Patio stuff pack, which is even more saddest xD

Also how tf am I not subscribed when I constantly watch your videos?? You show up so often I figured I was 😂 Oh well I am now, my bad💅

I always have an issue with deleting floors around staircases. It’ll delete my entire floor upstairs or it spawns back. It was so much easier to have open staircases in previous games because I could delete single floor pieces.

Easy way to live in vacation worlds: 1. Enter edit the world mode, go to Selvadorada/Granite Falls 2. Choose the house 3. Enter it and mark it as haunted house instead of rental. Congratulations, now you can enjoy living in South America jungle or the forest if haunted house doesn't spook you ;)

I have been playing the sims since the sims 2 I believe and I’ve never played with a household that I did not create 🫢

The pranking toilet is a deal breaker, if my sims partner is into those pranks, the break up is in the horizon. 👋🏻😌

I just noticed that in toddler (boy) swimwear some of the pre made outfits are shown differently than what’s actually put on your sim toddler eg wings and cute hats

The random outfits LOL. I love your videos !

Also random thing I hate that one rug that has the black box on it... I thought it was broken cc for the longest time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey everyone, first I loved this video! Second, I play sims 4 on console (ps4) and I was wondering: is there a way to cycle through clothing swatches in cas and see what they look like on my sim without taking my sims clothes off? I think there is a way to do it in build buy mode with furniture but I can't figure it out in cas assuming there is a way. It's just frustrating to take them off because it usually lags my game. Thanks!

You getting lag is relatable. My mods are off right now cause they all broke and I am just too damn lazy to deal with it so I'm playing an alt save with no mods on, and with NO MODS I get lag spikes like that. Ex-frickin-cuse me, game

The toilet part made me laugh so hard, in University my sim was living in one of the dorms and I thought it was super odd that the toilets kept breaking so damn often, thought it was a glitch or my game was broken, turns out it was just pranks, but since I'd never stopped to watch the animation of the toilet prank actually happening to a sim, I didnt know it breaks the whole friggen toilet lmfao 🤣🤣

starting in cas is the most annoying. i used to play with preexisting households more often than ones i made myself when i played ts3

I actually love My Wedding Stories... for the tea set and some new cakes 😀

I was changing around some of the apartments and there were parts of walls left unpainted...

Some of this stuff I never thought about but now they will always bother me.

i remember the first time i went to that house and thinking i must've done something by accident that deleted the door, but no, it's just not there

That one couch thumbnail from the Industrial Kit. It's even worse than those chairs

Absolutely love your content! 🙏🏻

you can actually delete the floor of basements. its just really difficult. you have to select the basement and then click delete ceiling + delete the floor of the ground level

The thing the annoys me the most about this game is the fact that there are a whole bunch of random bugs and they don’t always get fixed. Whenever they fix old bugs, it’s not uncommon for new bugs to pop up and some bugs stick around for a weirdly long time. You think that an 8 year old game which has had constant support for this long would be less glitchy but apparently not.

Something I find very annoying and it can be time consuming is the friends page. Say I want to browse their sims or builds. I choose one but it's not to my taste. I can't just go back and choose another one. I literally have to go through the entire process of getting back to their profile. In the end I just copy their name on the main gallery.

And don't forget about random career outfits. I don't think I could ever play without mccc, I just had a sim reach level 8 of the author career and her career outfit was a blue swimsuit, bunch of piercings, fedora, sport socks and ankle boots... I wasn't even surprised tbh. And this is something they "fixed" not too long ago. I guess it didn't work or the problem is just back, like often happens.

I play Sims 4 for years, with tons of mods and game packs. I mostly play in the same game file for years, and since I have MC Command Center, my neighborhood has evolved for multiple generations. I also have only a 1060 6gb PC. It basically never lags. Are you sure that is not a problem on your end or something?

I would like to have ladders that aren't clunky with the big rails, and be able to have trapdoors. I wanted to build a cabin with a basement under a trapdoor hidden under a rug but it's not possible

It’s so sad that the Sims 2 and the Sims 3 were so much better than the Sims four, they put so much thought into everything, and the whole world felt interactive(like you could explore it) , this is unacceptable. There is no reason for the game to be so glitchy so boring, so bland, the lack of consequences, it seems like a water down kids game and they suck the life out of it. Maxis, please please please just combine the Sims two in the Sims three and create the Sims five and we will be happy I swear.

I wouldn’t mind starting out in CAS as much if they would let me save!!! 😭😭 you spend hours on a sim and the story but can’t save anything until you place them and sometimes i’m not finished lmao

I hate how you can’t make your sim 1 an occult.. you have to add another sim to make them occult. Unless if I’m doing something wrong.

I feel like it would be nice if they gave us the option, not everyone actually plays the game or wants to play with premades,sad but true...but I think it would be nice if when you started a save it said give you the option to create a new family or play with a current npc home

the fact that you have to make cold and hot weather outfits in base game when you have to purchase seasons for them to be relevant

I actually changed a museum from the base game to an exhibition about princess cordelia

To be fair, I have fallen for many of my own pranks trying to prank my partner. I forget things way too easily

I _HATE_ when other sims prank my toilet. I don’t even like inviting anyone over because I had my sim’s daughter come over once and _she bloody pranked the toilet!_ Like, that’s your mom’s toilet girlie!

I just thought of something else I hate!!! Why don’t spellcasters autonomously use spells 😭 My spellcaster can LITERALLY SUMMON FOOD yet when they were hungry decided to barbecue instead??? Also they choose to bath/shower instead of the scruberoo spell… what’s the point of learning the spells then 😭

You are hilarious most of the time. .... #4. My Wedding Stories (no comment just move on to number 5! LOL . I love it.

I’m sick of them giving the kids the same exact hairstyles as the adults rather than creating something new for kids.

i strongly dislike the fact that there's barely any medium wall height doors that dont have some part of it made out of glass

pls do more reactions to machinimas im obsessed with them

omg... now I cant unsee the thing with the armchairs D: ARGH I got adhd, what have you done to me XDD

2:42 I'm genuinely sure Wicked Whims could make this happen lol

I feel like the museums would be cool if they had like exclusive paintings and items. Why would I go to a museum to see a sculpture I can buy in BB and put in my garden?
