LGR - The Sims 4 Dine Out Review 

cannedcream Thats a regular friday night at my local mcdonalds

cannedcream That happened to me too! I had to wait longer though! Took them out at 8pm had to wait till 5am the next day!

ME TBH

RIP

yep, if i wanna take my sims out for dinner i leave at about 11 am so i get back at a descent time.

Charles Teague ikr

Obviously

I hate people who complain about sims 4. Like seriously I like to see you try to make a better game.

Sandip Jawanda can people like you actually just respect people opinions and shut up

Caleb Davis :/ can the toxic part of the sims community actually respect the sims 4

I'm surprised LGR didn't cover that. He's normally big on sandbox mode options, and this pack lacked that in a glaring manner.

You TubeAccount I think the biggest problem is that this was a Game Pack instead of an Expansion. If they had gone the latter route, they probably would have invested in more options. I'm guessing LGR cut them some slack for that very reason. The Game Packs just don't have as much game play included in them.

I did cover this. 06:08 and onward, regarding both food critics and not being able to work in your own restaurant except as a manager.

Thanks for answering! I saw that but perceived it as commentary on a lack of active career options. I totally understand them not getting that in depth, but it would have been nice to be able to bring in a family to work the stations like Sims 2. It doesn't seem like it would be that much more complex, since the animations are the same for the NPC employees we must hire.

Totally agree, another half baked offering from EA.

+Brendalf IT'S FUCKING RAW

YOU DONKEY!!!! 😂

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FUCKING COOK IT!

Altrade Cull YOU SAVAGE!!! XD Seriously well done!

+TATER TOTS ARE READY! hahaha, that's hilarious XD

yeah I wanted to open a food truck, but then remembered that I need a cook and other staff so f**ck me

Sometimes I really want to do it too because my staff are crap. Even levelled up they just never do their job.

Welp. Just saved me $26 Looks like it's Laundry and Spa packs for me.

@@Xegethra Real life 😂 I face it myself right now.

Why would you want to be a chef? You'd be staring at your sim just cooking for hours on end. Exciting content, right?

It's the voice

Mr.Tas Yes, but also how he talks. :)

Agreed. I've been feeling anxious about something today and this is exactly what I need to calm me down!

Agreed. I could hear him talk all day. lol

Truth. I'd love an "ASMLGR" video or two :p

Wow hi sauce

It's captain sauce

@@hihanson8449 its not the real one

@@brianikehatt8649 are you sure I clicked on it and it's captain sause

how do you do that

12AliCat6 yep!!!

12AliCat6 agree

You're right

12AliCat6, yeah i agreeeeee

I was a bit disappointed eating out wasn't just in the base game

I look forward to the LGR review more than the pack itself really...

+gamerguy425 same

I agree!

Haha, I still think someone made a mistake :P But thank you, it was a nice change of pace!

+Lazy Game Reviews I don't think it was a mistake, I found your reviews a few years back and if it wasn't for you and your in depth reviews for The Sims 3 add ons and expansions etc I would have never held back and got them cheaper I've saved loads of cash. I hope they will send you more early review copies because there good reviews keep up the good work.

Your avatar is disturbingly adorable.

GamingMermaid g g g g g g g gaming mermaid great videos

whoa so im not actually the only one with that headset? XD

@@kiillabytez yeah, because your idea of fun is everyone else's.

Also... surprised that the pack did not come with a 'world'. In my mind we were going to get a restaurant district.

bob's burgers

OMG, my thought exactly.

You still can have kids clear the tables up, it'll give the waitstaff more time to take orders and bring tables their food. Also, the employees do a very good job at staying on task in this game pack. GtW employees suck imo.

I know this comment is 6 years old but to anyone who comes across it, there's a mod by Carl's sims guide which let's you work as the chef and waitstaff called dine out reloaded

Wait..how can you have a family restaurant then?

Jess Jess​​ The family owns the restaurant but all the adults are just managers. The kids can't work or even manage anything. Thats what the devs meant by "family restaurant". It sucks, but I heard rumors that in another update or pack you may be able to have your family work as waiters and chefs. So I'm holding onto that hope lol. 

oh god yes, we all forgot about that!

same... I stupidly bought it before asking if I could hire kids. I assumed it was a given. I am so disapponted

tigerlily yeah like a family restaurant I wish you could also work as a staff member not the manager as well

yeah...but as lazy as EA is, they're probably try to shoe-horn into an aging engine not made for that style of play and causes of years of issues that will never be fully resolved without extensive fan-patches/mods.

Yeah and here is another crazy idea. How about babies in sims instead of going to kids we have this new age called....wait for it....Toddlers!! That way you can teach them how to walk, and talk!!

The sims three works shit for me because of the open world. I can run the sims 4 on the best quality but sims 3 is so horrendously laggy.

@@taylorh1872 wow this idea was so wild and out there that maxis actually ran with it!

Damn sound like something from the future!

*Starts furiously throwing free food plates like ninja stars*

sure

Nathan Mills well I hope you at least enjoy our Triggered Commenters with a side of Salty Viewers

It's probably just because of their limits for expansion packs, also you have to consider that this was a pack that was only like, 3 years into the game.

@@aromanticfranziskavonkarma It's greed. They could of added so much more. But they split it up for more money. There's no defense for it.

KitnKitn it’s not greed. Get to work was a big pack, having dine out in it would be a LOT of stuff.

@@cassidyyy9589 Compare the current packs to Sims 3 then tell me it was big. Yes, what we got was very nice and I am grateful for it, but it doesn't excuse the fact they make lack luster packs with a big price which you'll most likely get bored of quickly. But you have your opinion and I have mine. And that's fine if we disagree. (:

KitnKitn honestly, I’ve played the sims 3 once and I don’t know the packs but I personally stand by my opinion

+BlakeGame hehe

Ready to commit a Gordon ramsin

get out > _>

IT'S F***ING RAW!

WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE???!!!!!

I appreciate it!

Of course :)

Same omg

Absolutely! Thanks a bunch LGR!

Lol exactly

You do realise kids stuff is coming out lol

I'm sure Ralph will get dismembered some more, but the pace seems to have slowed.

poor Ralph 😢

Yeah.... It's confirmed that it will be out this month.

Wait what? Like a patch or like a whole expansion??

If all of those packs had been included in the main game, Sims 4 would've been in development for 12 years....

+Alex Parker Ever played The Witcher 3? That's what this guy wants for The Sims.

K-Y junkies like you is the reason why the industry is so shit right now.

um what? the Sims 4 is the result of a failed social sims game

+Alex Parker. No dummy, it would have taken the same amount of time that it's taken them already. It is the Ikea of games or even more it's just like The Sims Freeplay. An abbreviated version of The Sims 2 and 3.

Wishful thinking on the color wheel, non tied to bassinets infants and toddlers ... this game is still a mess of quickly released packs, etc that are full of bugs but people keep buying them .... sigh

***** I bought on sale the original game played 30 mins and then threw it out

I hope you were wearing a biohazard suit, considering that the laziness of the developers is contagious and a level 4 Biohazard, there is no cure or vaccine and it is deadly.

Has anybody modded that in, or is it even possible to?

I was just about to comment something similar. *sits and waits with you*

Toilet restaurant in the Clue Mansion.

that pun killed me inside

***** Mission accomplished!

That's radiated bro.

and some of the quarky bugs LGR talks about me just annoy me. Like the sims seem to be out of control O_O Like why would a sim stand up while they are at a restaurant during the meal just to drink. I have never seen anything like that in any of the previous sim games. It like takes me out of the immersion =/ I too am waiting for more xpacs till I consider coming back. I honestly hope they come out with a Sims 5 lol that makes things better.

yea, the game still feels so empty to me. and if you want to talk immersion breaking, whenever one of my sims gets said, either from the gloomy trait or from watching their fiance die, they get sad and want to cry in bed, but the room is nicely decorated so once they enter it they are no longer feeling sad and go back into the bare hallway where they get said again, and the whole cycle continues. it also stand to highlight just how disconnected the traits are, even the emotional ones, from the sims' actual emotions. Like a gloomy sim doesn't get any more upset by sad events than a non-gloomy sim does, they just just get sad randomly, it's so frustrating. And the fact that they can have only 3 traits just compounds the problem

Yeah i understand ya i remember getting get together and being so frustrated with what they had done it was a perfect opportunity to bring interesting things for each life stage since "clubs" aren't limited to just young adults like it would have been a great opportunity to bring back slumber parties, teen house parties, other venues like movie theaters(even though they obviously saved that for movie hangout stuff and still managed to screw that up) they could added social networking back in the game buuuuuuut...no we get random clubs that will get boring after 2 hours worth of game play😑

😭😭😭😭 NPC are literally the worst!! I’m always using MC command centre to fix them!

4:48 is why I love em!

Looks like they saw your comment 😭

@@augustvirgo26 I saw the news about it too just moments ago and it's kinda surreal

Same here, I did play the free trial of the Sims 4. It was fun, but I still love playing the Sims 3, and even 2 for now.

For me I'm still addicted and will forever be playing Sims 2 :) Also there are restaurants in sims 2, and you can run them like any other shop. I have.

I do love a lot about Sims 3, but it was * horribly * taxing on my old laptop. I wouldn't even dare play the base game on my new-ish Macbook Air, let alone the many expansions I have. I stick to Sims 4 because it's the only choice I have really, but I also like it. I do miss all the EPs and the open world with all the stuff to do, but they took time to come out. I'll take the Sims 4 that runs smoothly rather than endure an hour of loading Sims 3 and horrible lags, crashes, etc. Maybe others have better computers with better specs that can handle Sims 3, but I didn't.

tegh103 I had to research what components work for the Sims 3. It plays pretty good on my computer, but it would probably play even better once I upgrade my processor. I did notice when I tried the Sims 4, it is easier for my computer to load than the Sims 3, but since the Sims 3 is still playable (and Sims 2 is still fun for me to play) I haven't bought the Sims 4 yet.

Maria Jay Well hey, if it works for you and you like it, more power to you! I wish I could revisit the Sims 2 but I have absolutely no idea what I even did with the discs...also wish I could revisit the Sims 3, but the laptop I used to play it on is basically junk and, like I said, I wouldn't think of touching my Macbook with the Sims 3. As it is, I know I'll have to be very picky in the future about which Sims 4 expansion/game packs to add because the Macbook is so far from a gaming computer. :P

* raises hand *

Glad you've stuck around!

could you do a "Let's Play with Chef Duke Nukem" for this expansion?

Jenni Simmer JENNI I DIDNT THINK ID SEE YOU HERE 😂

Thanks, glad you're still enjoying :)

A Johnson I made my female character pee standing up

Excellent, thanks for watching :)

Awesome, I hope you continue to enjoy!

Ooooh, I'd love to play with a Chuck E. Cheese in-game. I wonder if anyone can mod in some animatronics!

Five Nights, he he...

WHERE DID YOU WIN IT FROM YOU LUCKY PERSON

I won it on the forums in a giveaway.

+Losaru wow your lucky I would've bought it but I literally just bought the get together expansion pack so hopefully I can win somewhere too

It'd be nice! Certainly helped me stress out less about getting the video out quickly, and gave me more time to focus on diving into the gameplay.

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

:(

dont remind me =(

TwoGerbils Oh, who is Quxxn?

TwoGerbils ya. So sad when she died. She was one of the first RU-vidrs I'd watch regularly

Thank you!

Google: Bleach

Thanks!

His humor in older videos were better, but God he still deserves more subscribers.

+Zakattack's Geography definitely!

+1 just subbed to him myself :)

i hope so too! even just as an option i loved it, and im sad we dont have mor life states by now.

Maybe one that is as well integrated as The Sims 1: Makin Magic, because that was added as a sort of can be used and is there if you want, while also adding so much to the game that even for someone who wasn't in anyway wanting that gameplay, would sometimes use. I'm not into supernatural in my gameplay but the Sims:Makin Magic was still used extremely often by me.

yeah, an alternate way to mess things around without pursuing a science career would be neat

I hope they do too!

*swallows you whole*

Thank you!

Thank you, greetings right back!

If you decide to give the Sims 3 a try, make sure to get the 3booter launcher and FPS Limiter utilities, it fixes almost every problem the Sims 3 has since it corrects the optimization mistakes EA never bothered to despite it apparently being super easy to fix. (the issue is that the game is terribly optimized for anything above a potato and the better your PC, the worse it runs...putting in the appropriate limitations and features that should've been there by default makes a RIDICULOUS difference in the game play experience in ways you wouldn't even think would be effected).

+ZanathKariashi where do you get it?

that chicken is so raw it TRIED TO CROSS THE ROAD

YOU'RE GONNA KILL SOMEONE!

Olivia Blake true

Happy to hear it!

Exactly... this should've been included in Get To Work or at least a free update.

Like we could have waited two years for this game. Genders Update should have been included since the beginning, certain stuff packs could have been combined into major expansion packs, etc. The constant updates out of the ass without a manual option is just ridiculous. And the fucked up part about all of this is that all of this is that EA EASILY charges for it. Smdh.

I agree! Since owning restaurants is so much alike owning businesses, this definitely should have come in Get to Work. I'm sick of expansion packs that are only really worth like $25, but charge you for $40! In Sims 3, $40 expansions came with a bunch of stuff, while in Sims 4 expansions, you still have a sense of wanting. I've only played with clubs for a few months, and I'm already bored with them. This is the problem with Sims 4 content: it only entertains you for a little while, then you get bored with it. The wishing well from Romantic Garden Stuff was cool at first, but then it started to get boring because the results become extremely predictable. It's also driving me bonkers that they keep on dropping like 2 GB updates! I have other things I need to do with my storage! All the stuff in these updates should have been included in the base game, and there is more stuff that should have been included too, like toddlers, cars, more stuff for kids, different teen height, more jobs, and more stuff to distinct teens from young adults. I mean teens are just young adults who are slightly skinnier, and go to High School instead of having jobs!There are some things I enjoy about Sims 4 that separate it from Sims 3 and keep it entertaining, but how they create expansions, game packs, and stuff packs really needs improvement.

^^^ All of this! Thank you!

No kidding! Playing this makes me _entirely_ too hungry..

I noticed you haven't reviewed Simisle, I just found a copy at a goodwill! it's a pretty fun game, you should review it!

Unless they address the core issues in the game like such a stifled neighbourhood, lack of job choices, loading screens constantly, oh and the fact that now EA thinks that in real house fires people get out a fire extinguisher and fight the blaze alone despite the fact that Will Wright I'm sure will attest otherwise. It's never going to be worth it over sims 3, at least in my opinion.

jon alxander Actually I agree with you. Plus my sims won't stop smiling at the wall. Sims 3 > Sims 4. Forever.

+jon alexander I just always buy the home alarm system, unless I'm intentionally killing someone by fire of course. But I want Seasons and Pets so bad, even if the pets are more like in preS3 versions where they're just there.

EveryoneHasMyNames True, but what I meant is it is somewhat odd that if you have a fire there isn't even a fire department to put it out for you, rather you watch the house burn or you put it out yourself, also the lack of burglars and police response isn't that great either. Now you can't apparently have stuff stolen.

Seasons and Pets are always the last two expansions

We've talked about doing one, actually!

Awesome. I love the Clue Mansion and Insane Coffee Club videos. Oh yeah, and Casino Cop (RIP) if you want to dip back into the Sims 2 video series.

Yeah, sadly not :/
