its so funny how so many packs fail because of the closed world system 💀💀

@ibceku 9 месяцев назад

Yeah and it's arguably easy to improve at least a little - make open neighborhoods and more out of lot activities and bam!

@TheDawnofVanlife 9 месяцев назад

I find people who really love Sims 3 more than them all often argue this and as a bigger Sims 2 fan then Sims 3 fan (both are better than 4 tho) I disagree. Yeah, Sims 2 was built on rotational play and closed lots (and the biggest thing I would love on a Sims 2 imaginary refresh that will never happen is open micro areas of neighborhood so you could walk to a neighbors house or you could see their family across the way). But you really only need (firstly) anything you do to affect the full map and (secondly) areas of open neighborhood that feel alive with consequences impacted by your decisions. Sims 4 ALREADY has massive lag problems with a closed lot system. A massive open world on top of them would probably render the game unplayable the way it is coded now.

@v3x1ng_c0rpes 9 месяцев назад

@@ibcekuno kidding! open neighborhoods would be a huge hit for the sims 4 rather than a phoney pack i hate going to johnny zest house just to try to go back int my house, get the front door and wait a loading screen or go to the gym and then leave to go right next door to face another loading screen just to have nothing to do besides have a moodlet, moodlets bring more personality to the sims rather than their own traits smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

@TheDawnofVanlife 9 месяцев назад

@@v3x1ng_c0rpesYES, that's what's annoying. If something is halfway across the map, fine...loading screen me there . But If it's a building LITERALLY next door on the map why do I have to teleport? (Loading screen)...I also hate the teleporting travel in general. Sims 2 was a closed world but it worked, cars worked, because they had function in the world. Service people arrived in cars, you 'drove' off screen in a car (or bus or taxi or shuttle to your plane for vacation). I didn't need to 'see' every moment of a driving car to feel like my Sims actually drove, got a ride, or even walked somewhere because I couldn't just go to a world map and teleport them to the next location. And the loading screens also weren't the same spinning plumbob. Yeah, it was just a static image of your car or plane or taxi or whatever...but at least it was representative of real transportation in action. The spinning plumbob with game tips just reminds me I am playing a game.

@@TheDawnofVanlife smh when I first started playing the sims, I started with the sims 3 console game, it had open neighborhoods! beautiful world, a bunch of good houses, townies KNEW EACH OTHER, either ex boyfriend/ex girlfriend, it wasn't gen z at all, couples would lay in the bed and kiss each other, wasn't afraid to be bold, it had a a huge Park with schools and dine outs and a city hall area, a huge park, it had a police station, like if the sims 4 had that it would be beautiful it would also be fun to see what other sims in the area is doing when your not there lolll I used to watch other sims in the sims 3 just to see nps doing basic everyday stuff, in the sims 3 it was even a little piece of detail when sims would peek through your window !! it's creepy yes, but gives so much more to the game. the sims 4....I don't know what happened now its filled with child friendly nonsense, gen z nonsense and...loading screens 24/7, the oasis springs would be so fun with open neighborhoods..

@anahenriques. 9 месяцев назад

This is one of my favourite EPs. Totally agree with the low rating for CAS. The biggest disappointment for me is that you can’t build on balconies on the apartments. The NAPs are both annoying and interesting and I love you can have different looks for the neighbourhoods.

@mikaelastefkova 9 месяцев назад

If you can use mods, I highly recommend T.O.O.L for the balconies, I always use it! ^^

@Firise 9 месяцев назад

You can put loads of things on the balcony while in livemode. Try a grill, sunbed, sleepingbag or guitar. I put my cat's litterbox and foodbowl on the balcony.

As an avid rags to riches player this pack is 10/10 for me! Dumpster diving is definetly the best feature of the pack, you can find lots of objects there that you can either restore and sell or restore and furnish your house. I also think cas has some good objects, I always use hair and clothes from EL, it also has some cute jewelry that you can unlock either with cheats or by reaching a certain lvl in the career.

Tbh i was surprised when Snowy Scaoe didn't came with flat options bc is based in Japan and in Japan flats are very common but oh well

@Firise 9 месяцев назад

And Britechester came with huge dormitories for 8 students in luxury. It would have made sense to have crappy tight apartments there with leaky pipes, like the one I lived in (with 3 other students) when I was in university. The apartments in Eco change the positions of the windows when the town gets voted to change. My curtains were midwall all of a sudden, and my desk with a view was looking at a wall.

@MariamArt_ 9 месяцев назад

I would want to say Eco-Lifestyle is based on Haiti actually. Then Snowy Escape is based in Scandinavian countries such as Iceland 🇮🇸 not Japan in my opinion. Many Scandinavian countries in Northern Europe are very cold in it’s temperature and the climate weathering is so much icicles and snow sheets. 🥶❄️☃️

@kayynnnn 4 месяца назад

@MariamArt_ i respect your opinion but it's DEFINITLY based in Japan and japanese minimalism, it's not an opinion matter tbh

⁠@@MariamArt_ Snowy Escape is very clearly based on Japanese Architecture & Climate. The CAS has clothing such as Kimonos & The B&B is filled with things such as tatami mats, shōji screens & much more. Japan also has some of the most annual snowfall in the world as well, so it being snowy makes complete sense. Regardless, I respect your opinion.

My lust for playing Sims was totally gone untill I saw the trailer for Eco Lifestyle. I was so excited for this, and it didn't disappoint. I love all of it. Especially how it overlaps every other pack, for the footprint being a thing in almost every world. I've been enjoying the game eversince Eco gave me infinite things to do.

@wildernessisland2573 9 месяцев назад

Yes! My favorites are 1- Island Living, 2- Eco Lifestyle, and 3- City Living. I've decided to turn off the NAP system, though because literally every neighborhood in my save would end up with Sharing Is Caring and very quickly all the items in all my community lots would be stripped bare, and all my played sims houses and apartments would find their computers have gone missing after the welcome wagon 😂 But i do love it otherwise lol

@denama 9 месяцев назад

i appreciate the concept of having this as an EP. like, you dont NEED it for the game to feel complete, ie; seasons, growing together, get together, pets, hell id even say city living, but if you like the concept, you buy it and enjoy it. this is the kind of DLC i want, OPTIONAL DLC.

@rachel3760 9 месяцев назад

This is one of my most used packs! I use a lot of CAS for my granola girl Sims. Also I love the apartment buildings and the look of the neighborhoods they're in. I'm also from the country so I personally I like to make all my Sims homes be off-the-grid. And I use the vertical garden and candlemaking station for all my witchy Sims.

the cas theme is meant to be trash...as in it's been worn and reused a million times. I think this pack is brilliant. Really good for rags to riches. you get the smog vacuum with the career which can clean the world. and then fix the items you find it the dumpster. Then if you have get to work you can make some really cool retail stores. I think where this pack excels is with cross pack compatibility. It makes for the best rags to riches gameplay. This is my fav pack! people are always surprised when i say it, but i think it's really cool for my gameplay style. The items work really well with cottage living simple lot trait too, especially the meat rack. Think this is only time I've disagreed with your review.

This was the pack that brought me back to TS4 (I closed the game on release day in disgust and had no intention of coming back). This pack gave us some of the worst bugs on release, the world is lacking (per the great Juno Birch, I wish they made the world messier/trashier), and I find it incredibly stupid that they haven’t retroactively removed some of the game breaking NAPs. And yet, it will forever be a staple in all my saves.

And I am maybe considering a pack or two for Sims 4 in the near future.

@marikroyals7111 9 месяцев назад

Biggest problem with CAS in general are the lack of normal pants and the feminised male clothing. When I mean normal pants I mean down to the ankles, not flood pants (pants above the ankle), to many of the pants are short especially dress/suit pants. Also much of the clothing for men are stuff I don't see the average man wearing but instead dressy men from places like California. Like women have more tomboy clothing then men have typical male clothing.

I really like the pack because when my family starts making money and I’m done with the basic upgrades to my house (like a good kitchen, bathroom etc.) I can focus on reducing my bills with the solar panels and stuff. There are just neat little features and goals to work towards that imo work really well with the dollhouse orientation of the sims 4. To me its less about changing the world everytime and more about implementing the features into my more family oriented gameplay xd

@lovesmusic19 9 месяцев назад

I'm surprised you thought it only had 1 hr of gameplay! It's really easy to get neighborhoods "green" but really hard to make them "industrial", which imo should be opposite!

Personally this is probably my favorite expansion which is still wild to me because I always thought I would hate it haha

I'm a Solar Punk sl*t, erm enthusiast, I genuinely enjoy this pack for the unironically 'utopian, good ending type of future' vibes it gives, with renewable energy, lots of plants and the marketplace where there's more focus on handcrafted things then on mass-produced sludge, overall it could be better, but I'm pleasantly surprised with this expansion pack, building with its items are a must

@Myne1001 9 месяцев назад

My biggest problem is that while making the environment green is fun, it completely tanks my performance. Anytime I've had a Green Footprint the sunlight rays during the day has caused significant FPS loss. Combined with a big neighborhood with a lot going on (in my example, the farm area of Henford-on-Bagley) I was getting a nice 2 to 3 FPS during the day. I tried a few things and even putting my graphics to minimum I was still barely pushing 20 fps. Unfortunately there is no way of disabling those sunlight rays :/

@jamesw8699 9 месяцев назад

Spot on and fair. I want more cross pack compatibility. $30 * how many hundreds of thousands of players that buy a given pack? probably millions. EA had 70 MILLION sims players in 2022. The company had 70 BILLION in revenue that year. EA hasnt had a bad year so where is the investment in the game. Every pack should deliver every time.

@princessodonata2729 9 месяцев назад

I think (not 100% sure) one reason the world improves ecologically so quickly is that all of the buildings use the new build mode items (walls, windows, etc), which all have environmental benefits. If you want the world to be more challenging in that aspect, you need to replace all the buildings with non Eco Lifestyle builds/materials. (Not my discovery. I saw this info on RU-vid somewhere when the pack came out.)

@tamara_gaga 2 месяца назад

I feel like this world should be 0/10. I tried this pack when it was available as a free demo and the world was just the most boring of every world I’ve ever played in. There was literally nothing to do - most worlds at least have off-lot parks or something, and some collectibles - and despite looking like a city there were no other Sims out and about, no community events, just… nothing. And then to add insult to injury the work from home tasks for the career only worked if you literally lived in that new world; they wouldn’t work in any other world but also had a requirement to do them within your own neighborhood. And of course the freelancer career was completely broken no matter where you lived…

Really surprised that NO ONE seems to talk about the horrible lots: a few are so bugged you can see through the map, there's one in the quarry neighborhood that is impossible to flatten elevation on because its placed as a flat lot but on uneven terrain, and very few of the lots are well-lit from the front at any time of day. As a builder, I absolutely never build in this world because it's a terrible experience. Also, the style of The neighborhoods prevent you from building anything other than super modern or industrial builds, (and it's really hard to even make those seem like they fit into the world properly). Build items are some of the best in the game, but for a $40 expansion pack to have a world that is this broken is so frustrating.

Didn't mentioned about severe frame rate dropping due to Aurora Light issue? It's more disastrous than any environmental hazard in game.

I like the concept of the pack, but it feels like there isn't really a way to nicely implement it. Usually when packs feels flats I have some realistic ideas on how they could have improved it, but with this one I have nothing.

This is currently on sale 60% on console March deals, so this helps me know if it's even worth the sale or not. Or do I just buy three $5 kits instead? 🤣

You need to be the person play-testing these because your criticism is very constructive

This is one of the packs where I think they had the right idea, wrong application. It has a lot of systems and gameplay impacting all parts of your game and is brought over into every world unlike a lot of other packs. However, as you said, doesn’t work with the closed lot system.

i picked this up for $8 at an eb games boxing day sale and honestly, for 8 bucks it's pretty good - definitely wouldn't pay full price for it though

But Satch, bug-based meat product is the food of the future! Haven't you had a mealworm burgers before? How about spicy cricket chips?? They're taste so gooooooooooooood* * tbh not really, they are quite bland on their own, like plain protein powder. But they *breed hella fast* and makes a good sustainable protein replacement. Though they have a higher chance(if I'm not mistaken) to cause allergy, if your body can't handle it.

I hate this one so much. First time I played, creativity got voted for in the NAP. My sims would stop whatever I told them to do and stand up and play a magical violin instead. They wouldn't eat or sleep, just play the violin. So then they voted for fitness. The violin-playing got replaced by doing sit-ups. lol They would stop eating and sleeping to do push-ups. All their needs stayed fully in the red. I had to turn the pack off but that save file was destroyed and I had to scrap that game because even turning the pack options off wouldn't fix their behavior!

I know it's unfortunate that guys don't get a lot of hairstyles, but it's also realistic in my opinion. From what I know, girls do a lot more with their hair than guys do. Plus, you can just take off the filter for masculine and let the guys have some of the feminine hair for more hairstyles, right?
