My favorite part of Sims 4 'Get to Work' is that occasionally the detective path will bug out and the criminal you're investigating will be another cop, which you can't arrest. Which means you can't finish the case. 10/10 great realism.

The fact Sims 4 with all DLCs and kits costs like $1000 is insane

The Katy perry pack is worth the 30 dollars exclusively because it is the reason that there is now a video Katy Perry herself In the recording booth singing Last Friday Night IN SIMLISH and that alone is too funny to be mad at. Imagine being one of the number one pop stars in america at your peak, and during one of your recording sessions they hand you a lyric sheet of your own song converted into nonsense gibberish and ask you to sing it with a straight face. And now it's the number one source for translating between simlish and english.

izzy this might be one of the most outfits you've ever worn on this channel

Fun fact: I work at a used game store, and we literally have a Katy Perry Sims 3 poster in the staff bathroom, blu-tacked to the wall right above the toilet. No, I don't know how or why it ended up there, but it's there.

Not about expansion packs but about mods, time when I was a kid, my older sister downloaded the baby grilling mod and made my sim cook her baby without telling me. I was traumatized to say the least

Shout out to that one tiktok that managed to fry an egg while trying to run Island Paradise on their laptop.

she sims on my expansion til i am horrifically bad

okay but imagine teen me’s disappointed when i bought sims 3 showtime from a second hand game shop and when i opened it it was katy perry sweet treats and not even the katy perry showtime

Can't believe wealth inequality is a DLC in this game. More game devs should follow in these steps tbh, imagine Pou with the class system

I can't believe you didn't include the jewelry stuff pack that slowly and permanently disfigured sims

I thought this said "rating Sims experiments" like pools w no ladders, basement painting clubs, baby factories, ect

I think the implication of gearheads is that mechanical labour is often considered low working class jobs, aka blue collar, like plumbers, vehicle mechanics, electricians, power plant engineers, welders, construction, etc.

People say sims 4 started the money stealing of the sims when in reality it was 3 from its online store to packs really was just a hint on how the sims 4 was going to be

its so funny because obviously looking back, katy perry's sweet treats "expansion" was just a moneygrab for EA and katy perry im SURE, but i remember as a 8 year old girl just absolutely LOVING this pack SO MUCH. decked out my entire house with candy stuff, literally BECAME katy perry in-game and made a multi-generational legacy world full of music career popstars, with drama and divorce and DEATH. i literally utilized this DLC to its absolute limit. i feel like i am the only person who genuinely loved this pack LOLL, i still have the physical copy around im sure. (to the fair, this might've been because it was the second expansion i ever got, ambitions being the first, but i was a little girl so i could care less about the jobs haha. nowadays? my fav is supernatural and seasons for sure. sims 3 is still ABSOLUTELY my favorite game of the franchise just bc of the open world, and imo im willing to deal with the greater presence of bugs for it loll.) yapsesh over tl;dr i have a soft spot for katy perry sweet treats.

The LGR episode reviewing the Katy Perry expansion is legendary “Ah of course! Type 2 diabetes and phoned-in celebrity endorsements!”

You need to do a deep dive on the Sims Equestrian communities. They go WAY deep, including fake currency, but have a gazillion dramas that have taken place which would make a great video essay.

The penguin visiting your snowman in the sims 2 seasons pack is the best thing to ever happen in the series and I’m dying on this hill

I think somethings that gets forgotten about is the Sims 3 Store content. It was very much the precursor to the Sims 4 model of pulling out bits from packs to sell you later but obfuscated by being priced in "simbucks". I remember it kinda a joke because they were really easy to share around and would pop up within 24 hrs of their release. When I started seeing Sims 4 Game Packs/Stuff Packs/Kits it made we wonder if that was one of the reasons they rush release of Sims 4.

in scotland gear is slang for cocaine so a gearhead is someone who does coke

12:00- Oh my God thank you for explaining the trauma of my Sim, having just given birth to twins, getting stuck in a hedge and starving to death. I never knew why that happened.

Using XD in an izzzyzzz’s video comment section just feels right

"Supernatural" and "Into the Future" were some of favorite expansions ever in The Sims 3. I know some players don't really care about them because they mess with the slice-of-life aspect they enjoy about the games, but I've always loved the Magic Realism side to of The Sims, so they were right up my alley in that regard.

Just casually opening up RU-vid this morning and you are wearing my hat!!!! I didn't even realise it was you at chch geddon!! Thank you!!!

Growing Together shouldn't have been a pack, just an update

to me I don't mind DLC when it actually feels like an EXPANSION. some expansion packs for sims 3 and most for sims 4 should have come with the base game

Izzy! It’d be cool to see a video about something that’s uniquely about/from New Zealand pop culture. As an American, I usually see a lot of videos about American stuff, but I’d love to learn about something that really only happened in New Zealand. Great video!!

I live in an overpriced beach town, and one of the boutique icecream shops has a massive picture of Katy Perry from the sweet treats expansion up on the wall LMAO

Tbh I love active careers. Get to Work flopped, but Sims 3 had some great active careers. Sims 4's ghost hunter and actor careers are also fun. You can't do them all the time because it'll get repetitive, but they're optional and you can still enjoy the careers as normal rabbit holes.

That behind-the-scenes footage of Katy singing TGIF in Simlish lives rent free in my head

babe wake up, new izzzyzzz video

the sponsor sounds 1000000% like a scam

How university worked in TS2 was so weird. Let alone that it doubled the time the sims spent as an adult, you could technically enroll the kid to the university the same day he became a teenager, basically going from elementary school to early 20s in one day. So amusing.

I have little to no knowledge about the sims, but these Sims related videos izzy makes always release happy chemicals in my brain so why not

I'm surprised this video isn't 3 hours long. I would've watched it.

the final straw for me was the high school years pack. i was SO excited because it added features i had always dreamed of and i was waiting for months for it to come out, but when it did, it literally broke everyone’s game and didn’t work. apparently the reasoning is because they no longer had hundreds of international testers as they always used to, instead they only had THREE (3) outsourced indian testers who approved it because they didn’t know what flaws to look for (which was the same reason my wedding stories was so broken, but high school years was even worse, it literally corrupted peoples save files). i didn’t end up buying the pack and haven’t opened my sims 4 game since. it’s so obvious they care way more about profit than actually making good games, and it’s just not even fun anymore

Re: “making too many videos about the Sims” I got into your content back when you released your video on Warrior cats, as I was hugely into that series as a kid. From there I watched more of your stuff and realized we were around the same age (I was born in 97) and our childhoods had a lot of the same core interests as a result - Neopets, Warriors, the Sims, etc… and not only that, you introduced me to a lot of really interesting stuff I wasn’t aware of (e.g., I loved your video about The Path - a super cool thing I had never heard of!) Anyway, I write all that to say: 1) you should make videos about whatever you want to, because your passion for breaking down and talking about these subjects is clear in your videos and is a huge part of their appeal and reach, and 2) I genuinely love your videos about the Sims and am always happy to hear you talk more about the series :) it was a huge part of my childhood, too (specifically 2 & 3). Anyway, thanks for all you do! Hope you continue to make videos about things you’re passionate about; I’ll be here to watch. :)

honestly learning about the katy perry pack as a teen was devastating. the potential for an all-in-one pack that would let you create a maximalist color explosion candy world sounds amazing, but the actual contents of the pack are so phoned in and look like dog water in TS3's lighting system. a tragedy. also, wasn't the weddings pack actually banned in russia after the sims team announced they were going back on what they said and planning to release it there? like, them raising a stink brought attention to it or something-- i remember that being talked about, but it might've just been a rumor lmao

one of the first things i learned about my current boss at work is their disdain for Sims 3 Pets. We have arguments about it to this day, and I'm pretty sure the argument will outlive us.

Katy singing in simlish is honestly worth the price

The Sims4 Get To Work is the epitome of the fanbase asking for a feature the devs knew they would hate and the devs giving in like "oh, you think you WANT that? fine, here it is! It's what you wanted, why are you complaining?"

The Sims 2 Expansion and Stuff Packs were LIT 🔥 It’s a shame they don’t really make them like that anymore. You actually felt like you got something out of each one

99% of the sims 2 packs slayed so hard imo, i'm so glad sims 1 and 2 were my childhood games 😭❤️

the sponsor sounds like such a scam

Izzy perfectly planning their sims videos to perfectly release when I'm obsessed with the sims again:

THE HAT 😭🩷 IT'S TOO CUTE

I will never be able to replicate the feeling of sheer joy and excitement I had at 15 years old watching the trailer for the Island Paradise expansion ending with a freaking mermaid! I was absolutely obsessed with mermaids as a child and even as a teenager this immediately made me wish for the expansion pack

I was definitely a custom content girlie when I used to play Sims 3 religiously. The community was huge and filled with talented people that gave out their designs for free

I've always loved Makin' Magic from the Sims 1. None of the other 'supernatural' themed packs have ever nailed the aesthetic like that one did.

holy shit they grew antennas

i just finished a 4 hour sims iceberg by Plumbella only to find that you uploaded more sims content, you are truly feeding me

Please don´t apologize for making sims videos, make as many as you want; they always make my day! I love them; I think I´ve watched all of them at least twice, and I could watch them again. Btw The Sims 3 World Adventures has always been my favourite expansion; it´s not the best but I loved it SO much, I had a blast playing like my sim was Indiana Jones exploring the Pyramids or the underground temples in China lmao. Also next to the pets I´d add the 4 Seasons expansion, no matter for which sims. I think it adds so much realism to the game. It was my first sims 2 expansion and the first expansion I bought for the sims 4 and just with that the experience changes so much, it truly is remarkable how the weather and the mood depending on it can make it so much more realistic. I never had it on sims 3 and I always noticed its absence.

“Ermm… I think I just lost some HP.” I think I’m in love

Very surprised you never mentioned Sims 2 Seasons. Was an absolutely wonderful expansion and one of my favorites.

7:43 I remember being up at 1 am playing the sims and I was like “I wonder if it’ll let me make these two girls kiss” and that was the beginning of my fall into an endless rabbit hole of queer content

It’s amazing how much more in-depth and fun the Sims 2 was. It’s ridiculous that a game that came out 20 years ago was more engaging in so many ways than the Sims 4.

im not even into sims but im so obsessed with ur sims videos LMAO the joy in my eyes when i read the word sims omfg

PIRATE THE GAMES!!!!! You can get any full game with every single dlc pack. Support businesses you want to support but for greedy companies PIRATE THOSE GAMES!!!!

This channel is such a comfort for me! I would love to see you cover the history of Garfield horror! It's gotten such a resurgence on TikTok and I find it so interesting. The depiction of Garfield as an eldritch horror is not new to the internet and I would love a deep dive on it! Lots of love!

I watched this with my wife. She told me that she's one of probably a dozen people in the entire world who actually liked the Katy Perry expansion because she really loves bright colors and food-themed decor!

Island Paradise was my fave Sims 3 expansion (I had them all except showtime), but I don't really remember playing in the Isla Paradiso world at all. I had earlier downloaded a custom world by fagersims called Enekjaer Island, it's this super cute (and really nicely made) Scandinavian-inspired island. The world was made before IP came out and so i had a lot of fun adding the IP content to the world, adding coral reefs, a dock or two, and I loved building houseboats. I didn't have any of the issues you mentioned that I recall, but it probably helped that I wasn't using the Isla Paradiso world. Later I would visit some islands outside Stockholm in Sweden and I instantly remembered Enekjaer, I had such nostalgia walking around Swedish islands I'd never been to before, lol. fagersims really did such a great job, if you still play Sims 3 I definitely recommend it, it's still up for download.

the way i have cc of the exact shirt izzy is wearing

In defence of Journey to Batuu, it came out at the exact right time for me. Our family was meant to go on our first ever trip to Disney World that week, but it had to be cancelled due to covid lockdowns. It gave us a chance to have a fun little imaginary trip on the day we should have been in Galaxy’s Edge. Glad to say, two years later, we got to experience the real thing. Shoutout to the Jabba Juice in the cantina.

I'd love to see a part two to this covering more expansions, my favorite was the Future DLC for Sims 3 for introducing robots and three different futures you could time travel to and from to help change. It was such an interesting thing to play, and the robots were a lot of fun !

I needed to practice my english and i didnt know what to watch or listen to like a podcast, and i found your channel! Good video😃

Love the video! Will you do another where you talk about the other expansions not mentioned like seasons, Hot date, and Superstar?

I would literally watch every video you ever make about the sims. IMO it's never too much! Thanks for the fun video c:

izz is the only source I trust for sims information

ive been binging your videos for like a month and i just wanted to say i love your content so much!

I just recently found your channel because I felt nostalgic and started playing Sims 2 again. I have to say I really enjoy watching your videos and absolutely love your unique style :)

I love love love your sims content, I rewatch your other sims videos a lot. So don't worry at all, I can't wait for MORE! 💓

Never apologize for talking too much about The Sims 😆 I actually found your channel through your Sims videos and I could watch these all day.

I just bought a new pack after trying to decide for 30 minutes. You're gonna make me question my choice all over again

Babe wake up a new izzyizz video just dropped

I love videos when you talk about the Sims I can really feel the joy you had while playing them growing up

i love the looks you put together for the videos so much each time you're like a new cool OC design 💅✨

Hi izzy I have been watching you for years and you seem like a really great and genuine person 💗 💖 🐰

I love that you are covering all of the games and cracking some of those rose tinted glasses about the past. That being said, city living for sims 4 has run down apartments with mice and noisy neighbors who’s doors you have to bang on as well as beautiful penthouses for when you can move out of that crappy apartment and move up in the world. Tho I would still rank Sims 2 as doing apartment life overall best. As for active careers, I don’t think EVERY career needs to be active, my Sim who has an office job can just go to the office, I’ll see them when they get back. In fact, I like a mix of rabbit hole filler jobs and fun stuff that actually make sense as an active career. The detective career in Sims 4 COULD have worked if clue gathering was actually a thing and its not, the game just has a cycle of random things they throw at you and make it easy for anyone to be a detective. I think active careers should be inherently more challenging, like mini rpg. Tho I think a lot of the non-get to work active careers actually are fun to play. I got Get Famous on a lark in sale just cause I wanted the fame system for my musically talented sim. But decided to play with the active acting career and for a week I was literally obsessed and I still come back to it for some Sims. The Scientist career is also litterally the best thing in the Get to Work pack as it actually has progression that goes some fun places. I am still mad they have nursing as a lower stage of the doctor career as being a nurse and being a doctor are two different jobs and in 2024, we should know better. If all school and careers are active, then you are going to be missing someone’s day as most people get married and have kids in sims, I find too many active things get frustrating after awhile. As you have to pick and choose who you care to work on progressing the most. When I follow the active high school day I find my parent Sims just get left to their own devices a lot. Same with university if the Sim lives at home. In Sims 4, I think the failure with active high school was also the focus on classes over activities. I’d rather follow my sims to activities and clubs over class. I think this is something Sims 4 university was better at then Sims 4 High School Years. Class as a rabbit hole is totally fine for me, but an active school with club rooms and club activities would be fun. Also, by your sims “can’t go to the hospital” when they are preggers (Sims 4) do you mean for checkups or birth cause you can def give birth at the hospital if you have “get to work”. I usually have my babies at home now tho cause the trip isn’t worth it. You go, if you bring your partner a lot of time your partner/other baby parent/spouse gets distracted and wanders off to play on the computer or get snacks and your doc uses a weird machine to pluck the baby out, then you, the baby, and (if they came) the baby’s other parent just teleport home. There is no “experience” at the hospital that makes it worth going. Might as well stand in front of the bassinet and do it at home.

love ur sims content sm!!! would u consider making a video about the sims spinoff handheld games like urbz and bustin out for the gba/ds (the ones that are wacky adventure games lol)

Loved this video! If you ever make a video like this in the future again, I'd love to see you talk more about The Sims 1 :)

YAY NEW SIMS VIDEO!!

20:56 JERMA REFERENCE LFG

Would you maybe be able to create a playlist of your sims videos? I love them the most and always end up rewatching them over and over! ❤❤

I literally look forwards to your every video. Thank you for being you and existing. ❤

ANOTHER BANGER IZZZYZZZ POST!!!!!!!!!!!

"sims expansions are too expensive!!!" rip to ya'll. piracy is free, easy, and morally correct 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Your outfits are always on point in these videos but this one in particular is giving me SUCH GOOD VIBES!! The hat and ESPECIALLY the choker!!!! Great fit and makeup 🤩😊

I absolutely adore the outfits every video, the videos themselves are also fantastic, keep up the lovely work^w^

I cannot believe you skipped out on showing clips of Katy Perry recording her songs in simlish for that expansion pack!

That's why you don't buy sims dlc, you get them for free arrrr 🏴‍☠️

Izzy I love your shirt !! And I'm super glad to have another Sims video by you 😊❤

It's never too much Izzy 😭 Make as many videos about the Sims as you want, I will watch them all💅

I was super sad when I got the Sim4 that you couldn’t play AS the pets for the pet expansion pack How am I supposed to roleplay warrior cats by myself in these conditions?

YOUR OUTFIT IS SO CUTE?? OMG GIRL I WANNA LOOK LIKE YOU

i love your sims videos! do as many as you want! whenever you want, ill watch

So excited to be somewhat on time for a new video but OMG that hat is super cute❤ I've gotten my daily serotonin just by looking at it and the lovely makeup and outfit 💖

Get to work was my favorite expansion growing up because it gave better gender settings. Those settings are now in base game but it’s still super restrictive and has non-binary erasure.

some expansions should just be base game (example parenthood why should i pay money for my sim to not be a good a terrible parent)

@Izzzyzzz I enjoy you having fan in making videos and watching you Sims videos are very entertaining.
