LGR - The Sims 4 Vampires Review (and toddlers!) 

But wait! Are there chairs?

Whenever I hear that a new Sims 4 pack has been released, I'm honestly more excited for your review.

Damn the vampires in Sims 4 are really polished and well-made rather than the past two games! I somehow agree with EA making a detailed life states in a game pack rather than only being 'there' with not much powers in expansion packs. And also, a really great review LGR as always!

Sex in a coffin, huh? Sold.

Yeah, I agree with with you on the "everyone is mr or mrs perfect" in this game. I wish they would add traits that give your character actual flaws. I also wish they'd make the game to where the player feels like they're actually progressing in a story.

I would LOVE super in-depth character quirks. Like mini-traits where you can pick like 10 of them.

Expensive old books that smell like dead skin are the only ones worth collecting...

Lazy Game Reviews, The real reason the sims in the Sims 4 lack character is because they have so few personality traits in my opinion. Adults can only have three personality traits at any one time, and children and toddlers can only have one at anyone time. Sure you can earn reward traits, but they practically never have any drawbacks, and they tend not to effect the way that sims behave. It really makes them less three dimensional in a way, especially children and toddlers who only have one personality trait at any given time.

Toddlers? Smells like a future Toddler Stuff Pack. *Sniff Sniff*

5 lots 😑

excuse you sir, I don't know how good this pack is because I don't know how many chairs we are given.

I was waiting for this lol. Best reviewer/simmer on youtube!

I guess I was the only person who was more excited for vampires

Funniest reviewer hands down! I can always count on LGR for a good unbiased review.

The smaller game packs are better than expansions because the content is more focused. Think of when vampires were introduced - in Late Night, not Supernatural - where they had so little to do. And even in Supernatural, where each life stage had only a few interactions - zombies just walked slowly and destroy plants, werewolves destroy furniture and find some objects, witches and fairies were the exact same thing, not much else. All breadth and no depth, and this pack is the opposite. Since supernaturals are such a divisive feature, it's also better if they weren't part of a large pack that makes people want to buy them for just some of the stuff then actively find ways to disable content. With a smaller pack, they can just skip it with not much lost.

Toddler: The Masquerade - Milklines

Just as a reminder: This is still the worst Sims game from the start. The towns were bigger in TS3, we had toddlers from the start and the supernatural expansion brought not only vampires but also witches, werewolves and zombies to the table. And let's not forget about the open world and so much more.

Actually recently reinstalled The Sims 3, still great.

so..still a better love story than twilight?

It would have been cool if you were a vampire among regular sims and you had to keep your identity a secret. If the sims ever found out what you were a mob with pitchforks and torches arrives at your door. Having to blend in, drink blood via stealth and not arouse suspicion would have brought a interesting challenge to playing a vampire.

still, think this pretty good overall game pack for what it is, while only 5 lots you get a world, clothing, furniture, build objects and gameplay, not just interactive objects but actually gameplay. This feels what a game pack should be. I'm little sad tho it's not all in one but the supernatural sims might be more thought out this way. These vamps seem pretty cool.

20 dollars for Vampires!? The Sims 3 Supernatural costed for me 30$ with adding other species, but just for Vampire 20$...

Wasn't expecting a positive review of a sims 4 game pack.

I started playing the sims 4 in 2019 and i cannot believe toddlers weren't always a thing in the game 😮

"I vant to suck your wallet, bleh!" -EA

They seriously could've added more lots in that world.

That Twilight book in the corner, haha!

You see kids, if you want something so badly. Keep wanting it and never give up! Also .. TODDLERS!

I like your style of narration

This guy's got such a great voice for youtube videos. He's funny too, which is an awesome bonus.

I watch your reviews and every now and then consider getting the sims 4 because I do like the animations/look of the game and some of the stuff/game packs seem really fun (like the restaurant/store one), but then I just can't get over the lack of open world. I think sims 3 spoiled me and I just can't see myself giving up the open world. Which is frustrating because some of the packs seem so fun! If only they had made some of them for the sims 3!

I've seen on Reddit that the new sims VIP vote has a "witches" and "fairies" game pack option.

I hope they do a mermaid game pack or someting like that too. Like an all underwater world and pretty tails. Or just a supernatioral expansion

Lamentably lacking largeness!

i really appreciate that you have captions in your videos! it helps a bunch!

look in the toddler bookshelf theres a book named where's winter. easter egg for seasons?

My play style is similar to his, where I play for the stories I make, and Sims 4 simply fails in that department (for me). On the other hand, this expansion is really fleshed out, and while you're not getting all the supernatural elements you did in the sims 3, the vampires are just sooooooo much better here.

When they added toddlers I got back into the Sims 4. I can't believe it took them over two years to add toddlers. As for vampires, the game pack is fun and I do not mind that instead of a Supernatural expansion pack they have this stuff divided into game packs. Being a vampire, learning to fly as a bat, and living in cool creepy mansions is always fun.

Much anticipated video! I love your reviews. I really love how you don't shirk away from sharing your true feelings about each pack.

Now if only they could do a Werewolf pack XD , I need a Werewolf "pack" family

I always look forward to your sims reviews. We have a similar play style and I like your take on the pros and cons of each pack. Thanks for taking the time to do these!

EA really needs to add a Travel or Hotel's pack!

I found this channel when trying to decide to buy Sims City Living, I was only introduced to Sims this past year. Now that my husband and I found this channel we always watch your reviews before we purchase anything for the game! Thanks for honest reviews and funny reviews! :)

1:32 is that Duke Nukem toddler? that's adorable.

I know absolutely nothing about The Sims but I'm just here for Clint's soothing voice.

This makes me wonder what they could do in with a game pack for Werewolves. In the Sims 3 they could make packs with other Werewolves, but that didn't really do anyway. But Get Together has that club system. Maybe they make a new pack system? Maybe you could even progress through the ranks like you can in a career. Like starting as an omega and making your way up to a beta and then an alpha?

I am not that into vampires, but I have to say that this is one of my favorite packs for TS4. The vampires are super well made, the build/buy items are gorgeous, the animations are cool, the aspirations are very good and challenging, and Forgotten Hoolow is pretty nice (I just wish it was bigger). I had a lot of fun playing through this pack, and I wish other packs were as good as this one.

"Hot Topic shopping neck suckers", I had to pause the video from laughing so hard.

Everything is better with explosions.

I love your videos, your humor is the best. Keep up the good work!

Favorite moment in the video was the brief glimpse of Toddler Duke. :D The rest was cool, so Thanks LGR!

I just started to play Sims 4 and I gotta say, your reviews helped me and I frigging LOVE them! I woud love to see you do Let's Plays of Sims 4! Such a funny guy.

Always loved when "Duke" comes out in the commentaries XD

I love supernatural sims! I've played more in the past few days than the previous 6 months. I hope they make a fairy game pack too!

I was waiting for this! ive been watching your reviews for years and can always rely on you to tell us all whats up.

This channel is great!!! It's only just under nine minutes, a short video, and it gets to the point!! I love how the visuals don't exactly match what your saying, so your can get double the info in the same (Or half, depending on the way you like that phrase) time!! It sold me on the pack. I needed to know if you can swap from vampire to human, and it showed me at 2:18.

I have never played the sims 4 (i never saw a reason to pay for what still seems to be a downgrade from the previous versions) however I watch reviews and let's plays. I know that most sims players don't like supernatural additions but I am in the minority that LOVES supernatural gameplay. This EP made me actually almost want to play the sims 4. I love love LOVE ( did I mention I LOVEEE!) that vampires have strengths and weaknesses (aka more depth) and that they have "dark forms" like the Werewolves in the sims 3. i also like the fact that they can study vampire lore in various ways , woohoo in a coffin, and talk to other vampires about batty things. Would I buy it? Heck no. I agree with LGR. As a Sim-playing veteran I am highly unimpressed with the obvious money-grab EA is making by delivering much awaited content in bits and pieces. And overall the Sims 4 EPs seem to be further add-ons on top of a creaky foundation. For those of us who loved the sims 3 supernaturals this maybe made us do a double take, but I don't think this a reason to invest in the Sims 4. However, for ppl with a low performance computer or new Sim players, the sims 4 in general may be a fun time.

Yay I've been waiting for this!

Thanks for uploading so quickly! You give the best game reviews, despite being lazy. They're incredibly thorough and entertaining.

I'm happy you're still doing these reviews. You are my favorite sims reviewer. I always watch your videos before I consider purchasing something. Keep being awesome! Your saving wallets by doing this for us.

IMO this honestly the only good, well fleshed out game pack sims has released in a while. Most importantly, it adds a lot of new gameplay, which really I'm pretty sure simmers want more of that then, like, furniture.

I'm glad they added toddlers to the game (I was beginning to think it wasn't ever going to happen) but I'm still pissed off about the lack of transparency about it. Putting aside how they should have been in the base game, why the hell wouldn't they just come out and say that they were working on toddlers or that they planned on adding them? All we got was questions being dodged. A little communication goes a long way. Oh yeah, and vampires or something. Cool.

Hey! I love all your Sims reviews. I watch every single one of them. I appreciate your honesty and downright frankness when it comes to your reviews, and who can forget the sarcasm! Lol. Keep up the good work.

This looks like a lot of fun. The Dracula influences are strong. Also, this video has Swedish translation, how cool is that, and they're so accurate! XD

"Two years of silence, and suddenly... TODDLERS."

I'd just like to thank you for having clear and accurate closed captions in English!

I still have the Sims 3, but am excited every time a notification for a new video comes up

*Was waiting for this!!*

To be honest I love what EA is doing and I'm loving that they are adding new content and features in the game and I am very appreciative at what they are doing. However these Vampires and this new content doesn't add much to the game, I just feel like it's very stale and even though it's a new life state and a new creature to play with the game still gets boring after playing it for a few hours. I really hope in the future they will release a pack or an update that would open the game up to a bit more opportunities and realism soon because these random game packs aren't hitting on anything.

Also LOL at Vamp Duke listlessly smoldering on a park bench

I waited for this. Clint's reviews soothe my soul. 💞

Its me, the total goth ball

I love your reviews.

Really digging everything about the vampires pack, especially the items and town. The progression system on the vamp abilities is a lot of fun too.

I am so glad i subscribed, love your work man!!

Loved Supernatural in sims 3. Been waiting for a “magic” pack since release of sims 4, this is not what I waited for haha. In sims 3 they did however release vampires before supernatural, so maybe there still is hope?

But...where are the chairs?

I've discovered your channel today and I feel like I'm already addicted.

One thing I miss is the hospital and getting ill I know it sounds weird but it makes it more life like and seasons would be cool😭

Whoa, you review so fast! Awesome!

The only thing that can make me play sims 4 is if we get open world. Until then I guess I will be waiting on sims5. I hate looking at loading screen and I prefer to watch my sims lag a bit in open world

The detailed character feature vampires have remind me of the aspiration rewards in Sims 2 where depending what your aspiration was, you get neat things like making Grandma's soup to cure illnesses if they had a family aspiration, 3 way calls if they had a popularity aspiration, etc.

Excited to check out the Sims 4 Vampires game pack and thought It was rather neat that your name was also in the Thimbleweed Park phone book when that character called all the phone numbers.....you've always been one of my fav game reviewers;)

sims 4 is essentially sims 2 with a world-aging mod, if you really think about it. & even now I enjoy it & its interactions far better. I miss the "turn ons" feature.

Why have they released a pack just for vampires when they could just release a SUPERNATURAL EP!!! I've been waiting so long for a supernatural ep for ts4, it was my favourite ep for ts3.

I loved New Moon peaking in the corner when you mentioned Vampires making fantastic lovers. That kind of humor is why I love your reviews!

I love this I would use this an whatever supernatural looks like I’m excited now you’re reviews are great

People that keep saying "well...back to the sims 3." Is getting so old. If that's the case stick to 3 and shut up on evey sims 4 video with the same comment. Once or twice is fine. Starting to sound like people whining for toddlers. Anyways thanks LGR for your always honest review!

I'm really glad there's one RU-vidr that's not that into vampires. You have a very similar view on Sims as I do! ♥

I love vampires! This was the first thing I got on Sims four

Better than i expected!! The best reviews for The Sims 4 in RU-vid!!!

Whoa whoa whoa, Ea made a *free* patch to give back a life stage they unnecessarily removed? I'm...surprised. But vampires for $20 is absurd, so that gets rid of any goodwill I had.

Sims 3: Late night: $40 retail Added cities, groupings, celebrity system, night clubs, vampires, and much more. Sims 4: Get together: $40 retail Adds grouping system City living: $40 Adds cities Get famous: $40 Adds celebrity system Vampires game pack: $20 Adds vampires So basically you’re paying a total of $140 for something that used to only be $40. I don’t care if vampires are slightly better here than in the sims 3. That’s inexcusable and disgusting.

Great review, as always! Thanks LGR

FINALLY a practical use for all the items I got in the Spooky Stuff pack!

Can I be of clan Tzimisce and fleshcraft my neighbours into war ghoul servitors?

Should I buy the vampires pack or the magic one? Honest opinion which is better i only have base game at the moment and this is going to be my first pack I narrowed it down to them two.

This is my favourite pack! Seriously. And the build/buy items and clothing are incredible!

you get a rare subscription from me. its been like 2 years since ive subbed to anything

Wait. So EA came out with a pack for one little thing for $20 that was featured in the Sims 3 Late Night expansion (which featured a shit ton of stuff!) for $40? Sounds about right.
