LGR - The Sims 4 StrangerVille Review 

Sims 12: Strangerverse

@@heatherholme5248 Yessss omg lmao

Given a Ville implies village, which is smaller than a town, the Sims 6 will probably have Strangest Hamlet.

The Sims 4: Stranger Things

I thought about this and I suggest Strangestershire

They always say it’s amazing because they got the pack for free most times and if they criticize the pack too much they’ll get kicked out of ea gamechangers. I don’t trust their opinions anymore tbh. When they keep getting these packs for free they forget how expensive they are

Could you name names

what summers are you actually watching?? lilsimsie, plumbella abd steph0sims are always honest

@@dtsotm so true. They are not so openly cynical, but you can still tell if you actually listen when they have mixed feelings. they just choose to have a more positive presentation cause their vids are suppose to be funny and interesting, not just informative.

Most female simmers are annoying af, you can easily detect 'that' attitude the moment they open their mouth.

Maybe because its disguised as a hug?

Lol if that’s a bug I hope it’s not fixed

Maybe he just befriended the scientist and then plant a bug on her because it gives you good reputation if you become friend and good friend with someone.

It's probably the hug that gives good reputation, since it's a friendly option.

It's because your planting bugs on the scientists and government people to help learn what's going on so you can help save the town.

That's what I was expecting. Total missed opportunity!

Breaking the 4th wall! Love it lol

Yes just like in real life!!!

So..... Westworld?

Jess watson oh god yes

What did you expect it's EA? I to wanted Strangertown to be in someway similar to Strangetown from 2, sadly I knew this would be the outcome. No missing Bella Goth, no aliens and remember all the interesting and weird families from Strangetown; Curious family, Specter family, Beaker family, Smith family? Also more on Bella Goth, her entire run in 4 is just a let down compared to 2. I was hoping with the inclusion of aliens, they would've added the storyline from 2, maybe after you've played long enough in the game, but nope. No more conspiracy theories on what happened to Bella, no Caliente sisters being part alien, just some bland sims with no back stories.

yep... truly takes out a huge reason why I fell in love with the sims in the first place

Why on earth would you expect it to be anything good? Also don’t buy any EA products, please, you’re doing everyone a great disservice.

Wow, the EA BAD circlejerk is strong here. Let people do whatever they want with their money.

Ea could of easily made this a continuation of strangetowns story after the 2nd game and introduced the psp and ds sims 2 families as the townies with the respective areas but no.

All I play is the sims 3 now, still trying to find my Sims 2 games rn lol

I love Sins 3. I would love to play Sims 2 ulitmate bundle but it crashes too often.

I think they are one of the branches of the new military career. I didn't meet any either.

@@hbeinke88 I actually had the chance to become one of those but they never showed up on their own...like normally they are supposed to show up when you do something like plant those flowers...idk

I'm thinking they either forgot to add them to the townies, or somethimg in the game triggers them to show up.

Right I feel like it could’ve had more! It just felt like one big adventure that you just play and then go back to normal play. It had a lot of promise.

Bearing in mind it's a Game Pack vs an Expansion Pack, I think what they have put together is more than reasonable. I'd like to see this kind of quest in the Jungle Pack. I wonder if they could design a dynamic quest system where you'd have a certain amount of replay ability.

I’ve never played any Sims story.

Sims don’t even have stories I can’t find any on RU-vid

Sims don’t have story you lie I can’t find any videos

Lol XD

The best Read More reveal I've seen today, and it's only 8:09 in the morning

Love this comment

he did and OMG LOL

@@atariblue Its only 5:49 am for me. Best. Reveal. Ever.

So true! Right after it released I checked every day!

I dont watch ANY spoilers and just wait for his review. I ain't buying it if he don't like it!

...or even every play through video. (coughs: Deli & LaurenzSide)

Wow I didn't know there were a thousand and some other mes on this planet!

Honestly though lmao

SeaOfTides started replaying the sims 3 again the other week and just now getting into world adventures. It’s pretty damn impressive for a sims expansion. Supernatural is up there too, in terms of content.

@Drunk Tony Yeah! I love both those expansions.

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Nguyen Dan Yep yep :)

@Jasmine Lee EA did change their naming conventions so they could avoid comparisons, but look at price. Sims 4 Game Packs cost $20, just like Sims 3 Store Neighborhoods. You still get a larger town with more content from say Midnight Hollow than you get with Strangerville.

spend 20$ five years later* lol

you mean small shit packs

I recall when I first started playing the sims 3 I said the same thing. There are things in the base game of the sims 2 that were added via EPs or store items in Sims 3. They have always done that, folks just tend to forget.

Yea i noticed that alot of activities from the sims 3 season pack are divided into different packs in sims 4, like aliens come with get to work, festivals and fireworks with city living and so on

yeah they should of just been real about it and instead call Sims 4, Sims 4 the Starter pack. Cuz thats really all it is.

I think is more a thing of the CEO than the developers. Actually most of the time is their fault...

Yes. Will Wright should come back. And all the other important people.

So, I'm going to verge from your opinion because tradition is nice, but it is ridiculous to have another version of the game and just create and resale all of the old stuff from the previous version. They should be doing new excited things that was never done in the sims before and try to find a way to continue some things from the past. For instance the base games should've come with seasons, generations/parenthood, toddler stuff, and pets, that should not be separate packs. And the Expansion and Game packs should be things that were never in the game before or enhanced ways to do things in the game. Get Together is brand new, that's fun. Strangerville is brand new, that's fun. But Outdoor Adventure is a poor tribute to Bon Voyage in sims 2 and Jungle Adventure is a watered down version to World Adventures in Sims 3 and it shows. Get Famous, with their new fame system amped up celebrities from sims 3 while toning down the annoying paparazzi, that is good. Get to Work is also done quite well, though a bit differently from Sims 3 and that is good. I want developers who keep the integrity of the game along with developers who are new and bring a fresh perspective, perhaps developers who have worked on other successful games who can bring better and enhanced game play. Some story progression/mysteries to solve, etc while keeping it sandbox

I wonder if some have had too much formalized training in theories of how to make a good game -- without asking the important question, "Should The Sims even be thought of as a game per se."

​@@hexyko4850 Will Wright wasn't involved with Sims 2 or beyond but the influence was there. But I agree that they need to stop doing what they think we want and do what we're asking for!

Same!

ProbableProduction same! Fortunately I only found out about the channel’s sims’ stuff and the new expansion just on Monday :)

Same Whenever there is a new Sims coming out I look for his reviews

same ! so excited ^^

Me too no one does it like LGR

VS M Nah, they should’ve made it CREEPY StrangeTown was such a gold town in Sims 2 and in S2PSPP because it had a great story but they tainted it with Sims 4 vanilla quirky shit, there was a murderer, a military family, a clone of a rich woman(the real Bella Goth died in Sims 3 Lunar Lakes) and a dissapeared Garage Mechanic. Everything Sims 4 touches it turns to childish shit, in Sims 2 and Urbz the graphics could be shit or good but they were teasy and sexual af when flirting, they had real characteristics, in Sims 4 they don’t even touch their lips or show the cockiness of Sims 1-2. And I don’t want to complain about everything but if you want to pass Sims 4 as COMPLETE PG then don’t put this stuff in, because you’re ruining it for the original audience because of Sims 4's focus on younger audiences. And they have the platform, never did they have the level of detail to Sims, Houses and they decide to make it that pathetic and buzzfeed-y when it could attract to teen audience

VS M I quit the Sims for over 10 years now but I remember when I played it and they were tons of theories, it’s factually more fun to download remastered towns with Neighborhood Deco CC from the tumblr weirdos that spend like 18273737 hours on Sims 2

@Kefou Kefak "yOu aRe LaTe To THe DiSCuSsion" What a dumb reply.

SamuelBoogie only reason I’m subbed!

Main reason I subscribed.

I watch LGR before I buy Sims stuff

You mean, "what is The Sims 4 without a good old LGR video"?

I subscribed to him as I like his humour, I don't even play the sims 4.

@@ThatOneDudeWhoPostsStuff 20, I think. 11 expansion packs and 9 stuff packs. That isn't including the Sims 3 Store that sold worlds and venues for $20.

The sims 3 is the best one they like got so much shit wrong with sims 4 :(

yup! $570 for everything at FULL price. Unless of course you buy everything off sites like g2a or instantgaming... Then, if bought at the right times, itll be $150-200. Still entirely too much, but alot less than $570.

@@razr6302 $570? Isn't that just main game plus expansion and stuff packs? If we include worlds, venues, store clothing and furni sets, I wonder what the total price would be.

@@GeekyGirlyGlam what? $570 includes everything for the sims 4. If you mean if sets if furniture was DLC, only extremist would buy them and Maxis would go out of business.

The Sims 2 is for old people who like depth, plots, and multi layered gameplay. Why do that when we can make shallow references to TV shows? 🙃

@Pareidolia That would've been a great add on her story was so creepy

Pareidolia Olive Specter was amazing!! I used to resurrect The NPC characters in her graveyard and turn them into zombies So I could get a zombie gardener or pizza guy for hired help.

What actually happened to Bella since Sims 2??

Ngl that really disappointed me too lol. Back in my sims 2 days i would do so much research bith playing the game and searching online for answers about bella goth and stragetown as a whole. It wouldve been cool to get some official answers. The sims 2 storyline was so good.

All in the name of Shareholder profits!

Same I only really play 2 and 3 anymore

I like sims 4, but they took away a lot of the things that made it worth it and fun without being boring and pointless. For example, a little things such as cars made it more fun because you got to see the process of where they're going in sims 3, while sims 4 had a loading screen making it so much more boring and annoying since every little travel like to another sims house had a long loading screen

Same

@@Weewooweewooweewo even small things like robbers, bikes, pools, laptops and toddlers couldn't be installed in the base game. The fact that we need that many mods today speaks for itself

Godfather really

WrecklessEating same!!!! ☺️😊❤️❤️

What do you mean by New LGR?

DoomDesire new lgr videos

I thought your channel died?

Nope! I do the very same thing! This channel is neat!

Ooooh. Even more reason to not buy it...

I wish it was. A full fledged spinoff game with a longer and more interesting, original story in the same vein as this. I'd pay for that. That would be great.

@@sabrinarosario6499 to me it looks soooo much different to Oasis springs. I mean, we have like five world's that look the same lmao. This is probably my favorite world. It's so beautiful

It feels like a full expansion, though one more like World Adventures from the Sims 3. Yes, I'm aware about that Sims 4 has a World Adventures-like pack, but its a bit wimpy versus Strangerville and World Adventures. Yeah, it does also feel like a spinoff though with the whole idea of you creating a Sim specifically for the story mode...

It's not linked to the show, but you can see the inspiration. Sims just love alien plants, so much so they worship them

@@TanyaOwens that's literally the show wtf they also have the main character in the game no originality

Exactly. I'm so disgusted. This is a new low, EA, even for you. 1 chair. The nerve!

Romantic Garden Stuff is pretty epic about the chair amount. 😅😅😅

Jay Fin EXACTLY!!! i was expecting something major to happen once i killed the plant- i spent hours playing and the ending was a disappointment, especially when i get a chance to revive the monster again! its not as good as it used to be, everything is so fast

They could at least made an upside down world like in stranger things and put the plant there

Wasnt it called strangertown? 💀

@@lucasfenstermacher3733 He's talking about the wonderful show made with the Sims 2 game, called The Strangerhood.

My thoughts exactly. I mean couldn't one of the townies that are infected shout "OH NO! CEMENT!" and think they're drowning in it? _Huh. I'm offended. I find that most offensive._

I was literally watching it this morning until I refreshed youtube and saw this... I had no idea Strangerville was a thing lol. Strangerhood is a 10/10 will watch for the 50th time.

@@travistyy I don't even want to know how many times I've watched it.

to be honest most of the time people get the new pack play it for a day or too and that's it not as much fun as the sims 3 packs like adventures and stuff which you can basically use any time

thers ad placement?????????

​@@fernandon3926 he put the ad right at the part where he said "look away now if you don't want spoilers" so that anyone who wanted to close the video could do it when the ad was running instead of having to hurry to pause the video or whatever

I KNOW, RIGHT?!

This isn't a concern if you use an ad blocker.

if I used an ad blocker, I'd not have had much chance to avoid the spoilers! (I actually do have an adblock built into my VPN, but I turn it off for Clint's videos because I like to support him financially)

Lime Yeah, I instantly recognized it. It's the same animations I've seen in my game.

Certainly looks that way :/

Yeah it has no originality

To be fair, Sims 3 reused many animations from the Sims 2, like fighting and pillow fighting. Yeah, kinda funny when you see them reuse animations though in any of these modern Sims games...

Lime all Sims games after 1 reused something from its processor. The Sims 2 had the same sound effect that played in The Sims 1 when the toilet was clogged, The Sims 2 stole certain animations (like pillow fighting), and in The Sims 4 it plays the ending of the same sound effect that plays when something breaks in 3 after a Sim becomes sad.

*51 (I live right next to it lmao)

Abbey Barry ok I’m an idiot

Pareidolia I hope so 🤞🏻

@TheWarBat Common sense isn't 'delusional'. We just got an expansion in November, they're not going to release two full expansions back to back, and development actually takes time. Game packs and stuff packs (which are not made by the same team as who do the expansions) fill the space between expansion releases so the community doesn't completely lose interest.

Actually, Sims 2 University was the FIRST ep.

Oh my god you're so right

I'm pretty sure it's based on Roswell, New Mexico.

@@popcornceiling3287 Its based on south west America desert. Same with Oasis Springs

@@RockZombieIAm Yes, but the focus on aliens and conspiracies is clearly due to Roswell.

Yesss I was in Sedona over a year ago. Definitely reminded me of there

literally exact same experience

And yet they won't give him review copies of things :P

Sims 2 and sims 3 is better than sims 4

The sims have confirmed that they still have another few years of content planned for the game

@@logan6562 Ah. So, I'll guess they want Sims 4 to last double the usual time, at least. Wonder what they'll come up with.

Just kind of poking in but the Sims Gurus did mention there is like 3 more years of content last year so it's going to keep going. :)

God i want so much to see The Sims go back into open world. I don't mind waiting a few more years though.

I think, for the better or the worse, the eventual sucessor of TS4 will need to follow a different concept. If the idea is to make a game with some better graphics, a new engine and some new features, while going back to the very basic barebones of content out of the box, then you'll have an hard time to convince yet again the TS players to come from a game they may have invested hundreds of bucks worth of extra content. Ideally, a new sucessor would necessarily have to feature OUT OF THE BOX a lot more content and address some very important problems of the current title, such as the limitations of the size of loaded maps (which nowadays tech should be perfectly able to load one map with no loading screens in between sections/homes). Still, we can't forget this is still distributed by EA, so those guys must have the devs under short leash to milk as much money out of a game that still sells, and invest the fewest on a possible new title).
