LGR - The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Review 

Yep. XD

Lee Collier how often do they have sales (I’m on xbox sadly so Idk if it’s different)

Yepp

me im buying them rn cuz theres nothing to do

Me right now lol

Pets are our children

I've had to send several dogs to the shelter to free up more "try for baby" space. This would have made me upset, except I really don't find the pets in sims 4 that interesting. Even with the mod to control pets, they're really just a nuisance.

or delete some

i fucking SCREAMED

He could’ve just got rid of the cat ear hair guy and the alien.

i got it on sale 50%, and it's still not worth it. A complete waste of money this pack was. EPs are getting worse and at the same time GPs and SP are getting better. At this point a GP offers more or as much as an EP.

RememberRox Yeah, that's pretty on the nose. The only EP I really found to be somewhat worthwhile was Get to Work, which I felt had some improvements in terms of the career system over its TS3 Ambitions counterpart. It just seems like they're simultaneously dragging their feet and dropping the ball with these expansions. Some like to argue they're taking their time with them, but judging by what we've been getting that doesn't seem the case.

I got a sims 4 bundle with cats and dogs. So I got the sims 4 base game and cats and dogs for $50

CosmicAngel Was that the Origin bundle?

I recently got Sims 4 + Cats and dogs for something like £30 on Origin when it was that 50% sale for 18yrs of Sims or whatever. But yeah on it's own I can't see the EP being worth much but as a bundle I thought it was alright since I can make families with pets from the get go rather then wait years for it to show up lol.

Don't give them any ideas.

Take my money

Bruh, what's this cheap price? That price will come out when Sims 6 come around, it's 59,99 per pack, obviously, because if you want a game you have to give up real life food and possibly live in a tent in the park, but hey you have a Sims game with all the expansions :/

Claudio Nah, they’ll sell it by breeds

Claudio and I bet people will buy it too!

yep

Iron Seagull omg! I didn’t know both of my favorite RU-vidrs are friends!❤️

Heh, we've tweeted each other a couple of times but I don't consider that quite enough to be friends yet lol. But my style of criticism is heavily inspired by him

Nice to see you here too Iron Seagull! :)

Iron Seagull love you and your videos! Also LOL it's so true! In a future update we should be able to be friends with chairs. Lol

I am Dead! LOL

bruh that joke made my DAY

Lmfao😭😭😭

Funny, but sad part is, they might actually do it XD

the seasons pack could actually come out. there are a few hints in the game that may link to a possible release of a seasons pack. simscommunity.info/2017/01/17/the-sims-4-possible-seasons-hint-found-in-toddlers-update-speculation/

That’d be worthwhile

i would rather have the loading screen, just like in the sims 3. Simply hate that I can’t walk around the city because of the loading screen

@@CuriosoMundos Agree. In Sims 2 I never went anywhere outside the house, because it was too annoying to sit through the loading screen. It wasn't worth it when I'd only be able to spend a couple hours at the other lot due to my needs getting in the way. The last thing I want is to go back to that. Now that EA has given us more, I EXPECT more. I think that's pretty fair if they want us to spend hundreds of dollars on a game we already owned. At this point they're literally charging us for SEVERAL new games and barely giving us ONE new game worth of content. I can't believe people are falling for it, honestly.

I really like your idea. We could even have cars and garages!

i don't mind the loading screens I hate that if I arrive at a bar or whatever, they then start appearing and doing stuff. wich is kinda... lame.. like they open the shop/bar when I arrive. a lot that is so annoying are the constant calls every 2 min. oh come let's go to the club at 2pm. 🙄

I actually like it that their not playable. Gives me challenge to take care of them.

@@jeromealday614 I refer you to the original point made: It's not fair to stop EVERYONE from being able to play their pets, whether they want to or not, on the basis that SOME people apparently don't have the self control to just not control their pet. You had the choice in previous titles to not control your pet if you wanted the extra challenge. Now NO ONE has a choice. That's not better, it's worse. They've removed player choice from the equation.

@@LordofFullmetal I originally played Pets on Sims 2 that's why I prefer it that way. Anyway, I guess you have a point.

thankfully modders excist

@@vixian5178 Modders make our lives so much easier.

shadoom I never thought I'd cry watching a review for a Sims game. (Wtf, Clint!) I really wanna recreate my cat who passed this year, too. 😿

Bruna Feitoza it made me remember my deceased cat 😿😿

Totally crying.

I teared up too. I made my current cat in the Sims 3 a few years ago and the thought of not having her anymore and only seeing her in Sims form someday really gets me.

I recreated my kitty (had to put her down in April from worsening kidney disease), I was so happy but I haven’t been able to play with her yet because I’m not sure if I can take it

Abi PK dude they also get free trips to EA headquarters when new stuff is released

I saw one sims channel 'reviewer' get totally beside herself over a 'boat' which when you clicked on it brought up a travel loading screen. She called it 'a totally new means of transport'.

It was The English Simmer actually.

The Mudpit ah, okay. Must have confused them since they’re all pretty much the same

Boyce -- That-Was-A-BURN.gif

Was especially proud of that one, hehe

Aznromeo never expected you to be here!

LGR Yeah that was a good one bro

I was going to make a pun but I would sound CHEESEY

2.25

The Honest Author you can actually ask them what’s wrong though, I just wish we could see their age

The part I can't stand is that there is no way to tell what relationship one animal has with another, and no way to force interactions. I keep trying to mate two cats together, but they don't like each other and I guess they never will.

Thank you that's exactly how I feel. And because of it makes me less inclined to even have them in the first place.

Samantha Norton Can you use the "Be nice to..."? That is supposed to make your pet friendly towards someone. I would do that a lot and then later encourage them to mate (which really is a bit creepy that you can x) ).

oh so you can actually tell how your dog or cat is feeling and wanting in the real life. no, but they are still members of your family.

Black Sheep72 Same here, always been more of a cat person. I literally lost my cat (as in stolen), even though she was hardly in peak condition or a rare/valuable breed. But I missed her unique personality and still do to this day over 10 years later. She always seemed to prefer my company to anyone else which I found odd but I guess she clearly just felt comfortable with me for some reason. So I too totally understand how humble it can be to recreate a pet, especially if you can emulate his/her personality traits.

Pictured is now 18 and still going well, I feel so lucky, but yer I've had a few cats over my many many years.

my 16yo cat died 8 months ago :(

We never had cats, only dogs. Our dog turned 13 years old when he passed away. For a boxer that is a old age as they tend to get around 10 years old. Grew up with that dog, lost him when i was 15 and now that has been more then half a life time away for me and i still miss him every day. Once a pet goes into your heart they will never leave again.

My one year old dog passed away on February 15th ;(

Simalicious357 y should they either

Andy Pandy because they did with pretty much all the rest. It's not his fault they're not providing a lot of content and he is honest about it.

Sounds like they don't want to support honest reviews, just biased ones.

@Perrie Loves well it is not negative when it is true.

@Perrie Loves so he should only say postive things? They should censor negative reviews?

I Want Boba same

I STARTED TO TEAR UP IN THE PART :

Its sad that he had lost his cat

I Want Boba weird flex but ok

*O-0 Allura! You've come back from the dead!!!!*

Without a doubt thats the reason, the rEApers (As I like to call them) are scummy and greedy. Their company name Electronic Arts is as far from real art as humanly possible. TS4 isn't unfun but it's basically a rehash of old content but watered down with age.

Adenite 95, I think so. They probably watched his review and thought "We gave him a code that was totally free for us to produce, why does not he lick our butts out of gratitude?"

I love corgis I wouldn't say that their COMPLETELY turning a deaf ear on their customers (because they did come out with toddlers, pools, pets, etc. After everyone begged and bugged them abour it). Its just that their not putting any effort in their franchise anymore.

Fang Scott they said ts4 was about emotions. Little did we know they meant playing with ours

I love corgis last time I played sims 4 there we're loading screens r there still?

Andy Pandy There will always be loading screens

Toddlers and Pools is due to their game getting horrible rep if they hadn't tried to save face, or bad time management. Idk if it's the team or simply EA forcing them to rush, but EA make them cut down their game and rerelease packs from previous games to make more money. The complete Sims 3 was like 200 bucks for the FULL game. I don't think that counted stuff packs. Without its expansions Sims 3 was definitely not a complete game, and just wasn't very fun. By comparison, 4 is garbage even with "expansions". They have to release things the size of Into the Future or Island Paradise before it'll pick up.

And you can milk them and have chickens and newcjob as an Farmer

Here's a functional chicken coop mod by Icemunmun. I recommend checking it out in case you're interested!icemunmun.blogspot.com/2019/02/functional-chicken-coop.html

@@wiktoriakohman2200 or yano maybe you could have animals without exploiting them for their reproductive purposes?

@@269kd yes you could, but they produce things sims eat (and humans too), so it's only natural.

@@Erri_17 So taking a calf from their mom and killing them is natural?

Cinnamon Bun It’s 20 bucks rn

Yeah, I know. My original comment was made before it was put on sale.

Cinnamon Bun alright just wanted to let you know so you wouldn’t be missing out

Yeah same, I would really love this pack. Its gonna be fun trying to recreate my cat in Sims. And also, I've always wanted a dog. So a border collie would be nice.

Lucia Fiorini I was thinking the same thing!

that explains why captainsauce got a Raccoon, in his video on the sims 4 cats and dogs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dK1DMIiIwvc.html

well cats are assholes

No Lube not all cats.

They were in Sims 3 too so . . .

Funny enough Foxes are closer to cats than dogs behavior wise; they're not even close to dogs lineage wise either though.

it has literally always been that way across all 4 games??

Tell that to Seasons expansion packs

@@lithiumkid it's still a cash grab and it's just gotten worse. The base is really bare bones so that you're forced to buy all these expansions to get basic things like pets, seasons etc. The game plus all expansions is worth like, what, $400? That's a lot of money for a life sim.

Yeahhh exactly

wish i saw this before i spent money on it ...

And there's so many times where my dog will just, stand, for hours. It's creepy and breaks my immersion lol

Take advantage of mods before they remove the ability to mod their games hoping it would drive up sales of the expansions since theres no one else that provides the game with content.. Also, yes. I know this is 2 years old.

@@rasmusazu self fuckin aware, 2 years old comment.

​@@rasmusazuPeople have been modding sims since Sims 1. They very well know modding the game is a part of the experience. They have literally hired modders as employees.

Cristian Villavicencio I was really hoping for farms/ranches/homesteading type stuff. That would've been amazing! I would've bought sims 4 finally if they did, lol

Amen to this! I'm so tired of their less for more attitude.

Cristian Villavicencio car racing? It’s not an open world

Amen bro

Cristian Villavicencio We may get little content, we do get higher quality.

mr clean I know

Me too

I like their open subdivision within neighborhoods thing. It saves us on performance, and loading times.

I kind of do, but then I remember how it made my computer sssooooooooooo hot and loud I could fry an omelette and sing along

@@michaelvalencia398 my computer' motherboard melted while playing the sims 3.....still miss the sims three thought had 3 vacation homes and rebuilt every lot to my designs.

It's a "spoiler" revealing that someone's beloved family pet died?

Turquoise Cheetah LOL WTF

To The GAMES 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Exit? It points towards 'it' so it must be the entrance.

Wait what?

It's okay, you can say "anus". Or "butthole", if that's what you prefer.

E A B A D

Who thinks otherwise? We all know its EA's fault.

Its customers fault. If they make shit and it gets sell, why bother making something better?

Errr Maxis isn't even an existing company anymore. . Just a ghost of the past

who is maxus?

Paranormally Correct what you mean what happend to LGR's kitty?

She passed away and LGR made her in the game (the gray cat).

*10$

here is was $50

I got goosebumps and starting thinking of my cat I lost two years ago. ;-;

Reminds me of when I lost my cat Sabrina

I lost my Cat Luna last month... DEM FEELS...

Sorry for your loss LGR. I had a cat for 18 years I was super attached too and I was heart broken when he passed. That was 7 years ago and i still think about him from time to time.

Yeah. My 18-year-old cat, Claude, died two months ago, and he was pretty much the exact same age as me. Much to my mother's dislike at the time, he made one of his first appearances at my first birthday and then decided to adopt us. Time to go make him in the Sims 3 :,)

By far the best!

onlyabidoang I agree. This feels almost like a game pack or something in between game pack and expansion pack.

Agreed. It seems like they half-assed it to a degree :/

Love your channel!

onlyabidoang hello! I agree...sort of. The price is steep but the fact that your pets have new clothes and their own create-a-style, it's good enough for at least a smaller price. So I thought that the price could of at least be $25 or $30

onlyabidoang it’s not new that ea wants to push out something out like this for way too much money, unfortunately. 😐

Adam Noyce sorry for your loss

Adam Noyce, My cat is around 5 months old and he is a Ragdoll cat. He has recently almost died, I was very scared and when we brought him to the vet, the vet/nurse told me and my family that he probably won’t make it because he was breathing heavily and fast and very very deep. He was only a baby but guess what? The nurse came to my family with a frown. My first thought Was yup, he’s dead. But a few seconds later she told us, HE SURVIVED! We were all happy. Con is, he’s still very sick and started to cough. We are thinking he has feline asthma but, we wait to see what’s wrong.

Your cat was most likely the happiest cat in the world to have there final moments in the warmth of your arms. But your cat will never be gone and is still with you in your heart.

Bxriella wow

21 years, that should be an achievement

Its Manny you can’t “know how to review” reviews are all opinions.

I think the point was about all those people that get free game codes and then talk about only the positives and not having a single negative comment about the game.

KittyLife it could set a foundation for actual story progression... maybe like how they started giving worlds different district with different description

The Cajun Catcher what happened with his cat ?

what i can guess is it died from old age

PushingUpRoses Record a video of you playing it

I think the Robot dog or cat would be neat for your Alien sims :)

Same, I'm definitely gonna miss the cockatoos from TS3! What kind of bird do you own? I have a GCC myself

I have a cockatiel

Molly Gardiner Is the mod worth buying the expansion? Not being able to control the pets is the only think keeping me from buying it. Can you see pet traits/skills as well?

Rini H. simcity 3000 had more pets

I even spayed my animals and they still came back pregnant like wtf!!

Michaela what? That sounds like a bug.

Caitlin Means its only a game

Andy Pandy You're right, it is, but I have spent a considerable amount of time playing it.

Caitlin Means i played 5 years worth is that enough?

Yes! *sniff* ... Only you!

**wipes face** YES THE ONLY ONE the only reason my face is wet is because a bunch of ninjas burst into my room and expertly chopped a bunch of onions right in my eyes.

I teared up a bit I admit.

Probably not

Amen to that the sims 4 is an embarrassment all in it shelf. The sims 3 was so much more funner even though there was bugs and crashes at times hey it was funner. I even loved the sims 2 A LOT and that game was fun =]

@@Shayne2555 do you play sims 4?

That's a normal feature for someone who comes from the Sims 2 xD Could you control the pets in the Sims 3?! The lack of UI for pets really sucks ._.

serratos Yeah, in Sims 2 you can see all their info, age, skills, needs, everything. You just couldn't control them unless you used cheats.

same. i hated dogs and cats in the sims 3.

SimmerJonny i personally loved that it’s back to the way it was in sims 2. taking care of pets in 3 literally gave me anxiety knowing i really had to do everything myself haha

The autonomy in Sims 3 always worked perfectly fine for me. I like to be able to control them. I hate that cats in Sims 4 for example can travel on their own without me having the option to know where they went and what they're doing. They do this even without that trait so yes it's aggravating for me because I can't call them back. I don't like that I can't see their needs, relationships and especially age. I also don't like that they take in a spot for a sim. I think I'm one of the few people that actually likes the sims 3 pets the best

EA released an official statement about this stating it was a pricing error: simscommunity.info/2017/11/08/price-of-the-sims-4-cats-dogs-has-gone-up-in-brazil-and-norway-2-days-before-release/ But yeah, it's EA, they haven't exactly done anything to earn my trust in regards to things like pricing and good intentions.

Looking at a converter to usd, since that's what I use 149 BRL comes to USD$47 I am curious, and I mean absolutely no offense, to when BRL becomes too expensive for day to day things there?

XShadowMuncherX They Just like to steal our money. And the real problem is that not a lot of people complain😂. Like the Fallout 4 season pass is 179 BRL 😐. You gotta be a milionare to be a gamer here. 😢😭

I know how you feel mano... O nome do meu gato "Cabacin".

Marcelo Carvalho I completely agree with you, It happened in my country too, I couldn't buy it as well 😒

Isobel Rose They made more toys and pet beds, they're just waiting to put them in a stuff pack later on.

+Isobel Rose Yeah I wished they had took that time to focus on content that would expand game-play for all players first before doing this. I'm thinking of seasons specifically. I guess I do like the world in this expansion though, definitely will be buying when a sale happens.

Hopefully we'll get modders that are willing to give us what we actually want, unlike EA!

I would have preferred it if they left most of the breeds out and let the community create them, there's more fun in trying to sculpt a border collie from scratch then just selecting one from the giant list. More items would have been a great trade off. I also wish they would fix the sim lag, my first experience in the game was to direct my sim to introduce themselves to a cat on the street and it took 6 attempts because my sim would just stand there and do nothing for several game hours. This happens with pretty much every interaction in the game now. the game is almost unplayable at this stage.... literally, it does not play!!! - anyone else have this issue? I know theres a lag mod but not sure if its been updated to accommodate pets yet.

Caroline Swift well they couldn’t make more pet beds considering the fact that they couldn’t stop pets from clipping through them, personally I don’t care about the items for pets cause in reality my pets barely touch that shit anyway lmfao

Kevin108 ok

Ugh my eyes 😢

Nur Shahirah false

The Artful Brittani to know how their skills are improving just keep teaching them things and a box will pop up saying “___ has learned to/not to do ___.”

updates.

yeah, I've seen those pop up, but It doesn't tell you how many times you have to lecture your pet. there is no bar to show progress. That is what is aggravating. Do they ever stop the behavior? because the cats I've played with so far have yet to stop being on counters after many many lectures.

you have to buy a vet clinic you can't simply choose from the job options to be a vet like you can for doctor scientist, and detective. so no, it is not like Get to Work.

The Artful Brittani lol I’ve been burned by EA one too many times to fall for a pre purchase or buy as soon as something is released. It’s unfortunate that you have to wait for a review or sales in order to make a purchase

#lazygamereviews4life

Cinnamoncustard I wanted bunnies so badly

Yes! I have a small animal. It sucks.

Nick Sims I agree I’m already bored with it tbh😭😭

I️ don’t know where you live but if you have Black Friday there, wait for then!

Chance Miles & No, I'm not a boy. I'm from The Netherlands so unfortunately that won't be an option 😥

Nick Sims Oh ok😕 last thing I️ can think of is a giveaway.

your_evilqueen Ah ok, thank you! It was just an example, so it won't change my opinion. But thanks for clearing it up!

MrNeomatrix99 sims 4 fish edition

Andy Pandy only $39.99

Sims 4: Fishin' Season. Limited edition comes with ant farms.

*cough cough* My First Pet Stuff *cough cough*

well...this is awkward...

Toon M you forgot sims 3 store content you knowthat rip off that is now sims 4 stuff packs

Oh yeah, I forgot about that shit that you could buy with SimPoints. Absolutely ridiculous. What I wanted to point out is that The Sims 4 has only 4 Expansion packs so far (with less content, for example if I compare TS3 Pets vs TS4 Cats and Dogs) and it will cost the same as TS3 + all packs soon enough. I'm curious as to how many Expansion packs are they gonna release for TS4.

Toon M qell sims 4 engine is more flexible to work with meaning it can live a long time wth updates meanwhile sims 3 engin was limited since the base game came out. The game already started lagging after couple of updates came out due to poor engine optimization. Also to note the sims 3 team was wayyy biger than sims 4 team is now which means they dont have enough man power to do all those thing sims 3 team could do

Sims 4 engine is anything but flexible and the packs seem to trigger more universally experienced bugs than Sims 3 ever did. Meaning that Sims 3 has bugs alright, but they sort of took you by surprise and other players didn't necessarily suffer the same ones. And once you tackled them you could continue playing. Sims 4 seems to have bugs that effect everybody and they're not solved until the next patch.

Can anyone work this out in GBP??

You must've had some bad experiences. My vet employees are doing pretty good job (Aside from talking to the toilet for 3 hours) and I found it to be the least glitchy and frustrating interactive career out of them all. You actually get shit done and get paid for it, unlike the store, where it takes 6 hours to convince one person to buy a bread lol.

so it's like the doctor career in Get to Work. I stopped going wit my sim becasue i was going crazy.

omg the fucking retail career should really just be re-named the networking career. I got so sick of just clicking clicking and waiting. fucking sims is so disappointing but idk why i still buy this crap

Azore I just created a club to do it because I was so fed up

The cleaning

EmiTV I think it’s because it’s animals and animals are associated with farms and we typically think of farms during the autumn because of the harvest. Not to mention it’s autumn right now I’m the northern hemisphere so for a lot of people it probably feels nice since we don’t have seasons atm.

they all feel like game packs

Only one that's "complete" I'd say is the Vampires Pack.

Ikr😭😭

Nur Shahirah Yeah, get to work had only 3 careers, Get together felt unnecessary, City living had a very small city to actually interact with and "pets" is cats and dogs. No one would be complaining if Sims 3 hadn't done such big efforts, sure, it was buggy as hell but you got your money's worth

This sums up TS4 perfectly. The entire game and all it's packs all feel rushed despite taking years to be released and the general feel I always get from each new pack is "laziness". Like they just can't be bothered to put in more effort.

I was just joking but I don't think I said anything about his views. I asked who he offended. Again never said anything about his views.

Smldesmond 45 i’m sorry but I don’t think that’s a thing. The Sims makes enough money to give small you tubers a chance to review it with early access and also give established reviewers access. There’s no hard and fast limit. Clearly this was about the content of the review

Thats why I said who did he offend BUT AGAIN I never said anything about how big or small he was as a youtuber ever so this is not an issue! The first comment response to mine was completely off topic about how small of a youtuber he was and thats not what this comment is about its about who in the internal team did he often not to get one.

Guess EA got tired of Clint calling them out on there bullshit

35 brittish pounds? Thats 60 Australian Dollars! The pack is $50 AUD. Man, they're ripping off the Brits...

wifcy1012 the open spaces that surround the lots are a lot larger than base game worlds.

True!!

Mods will fill the empty spaces lol

atsuya k Thats true

it's probably so they can bring out a pets stuffpack

Who’s saying that tho

I agree with you but I haven’t seen a single person say he shouldn’t have gotten a code because hes not 100% positive about the game

The Sims 4 Community group on FB, there was a whole post about it

Oh yeah, The SIms 1&2 were absolutely fantastic in terms of the amount of content that were in the expansion and stuff packs compared to The Sims 4, the amount of content they supposedly release in the packs now is pathetic

It's probably too hard now for ea to make so much content. Making sims 4 cats and dogs took moe work than making toddlers guys

Shay18 true

Cus it's about getting money.

The Gurus said that EA doesn't let them add all the things they want to add

It is mostly the same team the problem is that EA forced them to work with a new engine which already took a cut from the whole budget but they also didn't have any experience with the engine cause its so different. And it also didn't help that EA pushed the game out the door far too early it's highly probable that if they had another year we'd have pools, pool chairs, toddlers, ghosts, and more on launch. Not only that but open world and cast would also be there probably

this is an old comment but whatever: sims 4 is on catch up because of the previous CEO of EA who wanted all these games to be online. simcity collapsed and was abandoned because of it, sims 4 barely made it out alive because the team has been working hard to fix what would've killed them (they had one year to switch from a multiplayer game to a regular sims sandbox game, which is why toddlers and pools and ghosts were left out initially). they're fighting against an engine built for an online environment. they're finally doing very well again and is pulling in more profit, EA is finally giving them more attention in their financial reports and gave them a stage event at EA play. it looks like sims 5 finally went in development if the mass hiring at maxis is any indication. i think the team is fantastic, they're truly fixing a game that would've gone the way of simcity and would've killed maxis completely if it wasn't for the talented individuals who saved it. im sure sims 5 will be everything people thought sims 4 was going to be as long as they don't try multiplayer again.
