The Sims™ 4 Eco Lifestyle: Official Gameplay Trailer 

Can we talk about the fact that the narration sounds like a listening excersise on an english exam

Imagine they narrated the whole thing in similish and then we had to figure it out ourselves

Sims fans: all we want is the basic Sims gameplay elements back 🥺 EA: don't you wanna WOOHOO in a DUMPSTER??

Maggie would NEVER disrespect us like this this.

0:22 “They may be okay with it, but I know they can do better” that’s literally how we’ve felt about the sims 4 since the launch, I hope that was a literal statement and there is a baby update soon

Still weird hearing sims talk in English.

Here’s a couple things that I’d like to see in the sims 4: •NPC sims automatically get married, have kids and get in a career •Babies are more realistic •Have sims automatically catch feelings for other sims by choosing their preferences •Parents make rules to teens and if they break them (for example sneak out) parents can find out and give punishments (maybe in the parenthood pack) •Bullying can happen to kids and teens and acne happens to teens •Sims remember things like the death of a loved one or their wedding day and etc. The memories can recur to them and can affect their mood •Big events affect sims more •Male sims can grow beards when they become an adult and can either shave or let it grow •Kids and teens can do sports which could give them a head start at an athletic career in the future •Kids and teens actually learn things when they go to school (having their skills boosted) •Toddlers can go to preschool •Sim dating app •When a sim dies there’s a funeral event •You can go to school with your sims and build up their popularity status (would make a good game/expansion pack with other details) •the Get to Work pack has more jobs that you can go to with your sims, is more entertaining and isn’t seen as annoying •Sims can live on house boats •Sims can get kidnapped or robbed •Sims can have multiple jobs •Romance for sims is deeper and they can’t get married within a day of meeting •Sims aren’t always happy when they get pregnant, this can go off of the relationship with the father or if they’re married •When Sims cheat they can confess or the sim that is being cheated with (presumably an NPC) can decide to confess •Woohoo is risky and can lead to pregnancy even if you don’t select try for baby •There are further family relationships that the sim is aware of like a cousin or an uncle and etc. That’s everything I can think of. If I missed anything feel free to add :) Edit: I know this list isn’t realistic and they’re never gonna put all this stuff in the game. I was kinda just blurting a bunch of random stuff out that we’d have in a perfect world, I’m grateful with what I have in the sims already along with mods so I really don’t expect anything from EA.

Okay, see, I wouldn't be so mad about this if it weren't for the fact that they've spent the last like 3-4 expansion packs on the environment already... like, we only get some many packs per game, can't we at least get some kind of variety? Why aren't we working on older packs like TS3's Into The Future or TS1's Date Night (or whatever it was called, I forgot genuinely). Or, even, some new things that we, you know, want... I'd be willing to pay for a transportation GAMEpack. Dinosaurs? Space? There's literally thousands of ideas and topics, no need to stick with 1 for a whole year lol

hearing a sim talk in english is absolutely cursed

This still looks like something you play once and then never again

Can't believe we got "Home grown, ultra-organic, fresh, farm-to-table fizzle juice" before cars smh

“Dumpster.. woohoo? Ew wtf-“ EA : “ i knoow like genital disease is soO qUirkY am i rightt..”

Finally I will be able to play as myself: *trash*

I’m still confused how they got polluted when there are no cars in the game.Did they get polluted by the dishes sims leave in random places?

Y'all do yourselves a favor and check out Paralives, the reason EA has been so so mediocre is because they simply do not have competition when it comes to this game genre, now they do.

I feel like the new Sims games are for a different audience. After years of the Sims 4, there are no “awful” things like strippers, curfews, grave yards and firefighters. The list goes on. Those things made the game have depth and fun. I guess expanding on the Sims 4 utopia is a better idea to them. But I don’t want new politically correct packs without the old things that made the Sims the Sims.

"Weird flex"...."fire" EA just stop, we're grown folks now.

Us: we want- EA: I don't recall asking

I remember entering the sims 4 for the first time in 2014 and seeing a game that felt unfinished (in comparisonwith the previous base games). I gave it time as we all did to see it getting better and by last year i could see the game really thriving. We had university, tiny living was an interesting stuff pack and we were voting our next stuff pack so happily... Then this. Again. We get a pack out of nowhere without the possibility of even give a little feedback. I know that the idea of the "top secret development" sounds pretty cool, i know. But it needs to be stopped. I dont want to get an expansion pack and then two weeks later have a simguru giving a condescending, pragmatic and politically correct answer to our demands. I don't even care if this pack has recycled stuff, reused animations and concepts. I care for THE CONTEXT we are standing in right now. The only way i see a future in the game i love is by having the team focusing on the classics, the basics and stop following trendy themes and millennial lifestyle. It feels like the team is pushing an agenda on this and making the game be some kind of good behaviour simulation instead of the sandbox we all want. The community is what makes the sims the game it is. We made the game for the last 20 years and we can't stand watching it "fall" Please take this as a feedback and not just as an attack.

"Mum I want Paralives" "We have Paralives at home" *Paralives at home* :

Maggie > this trailer

Comunity: we want cars. EA: Woo hoo in trash

still cant get over the fact that this is this an EXPANSION PACK :(

What I really want from the Sims is dynamic personalities. They are so flat. I wish they had memories and would react more emotionally.

the narration makes me feel uncomfortable

The fact that the Sims team purposefully uploaded this on the same day as the Parafolk reveal... and still flopped 💀

Am I the only one who genuinely kinda loves this pack? Idk it’s just fun and kooky and unique. One of my faves next to pets and seasons.

Sims4 Ad: Talking about a new expansion pack Me: *why can I understand her*

What’s with the voiceover? I feel like I’m watching one of those 5 minute hack videos. “Purple haired girl seems sad because everything is grey, brown haired boy will cheer her up!”

Didn't show me why it should cost me $40 still.

Eco Living “Gameplay” Trailer: Paralives: It’s free real estate

"Weird flex I know" That doesn't even make sense in that sentence......please stop.

The Sims Team: Maggie: Weird Flex but Okay

I was so sure I remembered the voice from somewhere and then it came to me.... SHE SOUND LIKE THE TROOM TROOM NARRATOR SIS WHAT 💀

Okay see this is what I don't understand, I see everyone saying negative things about this pack but this trailer has 38k likes but only 8k dislikes. So who keeps liking? I'm confused lol

This pack just showed me that I want paralives to come out even faster🤷🏽‍♀️

anyone else think this game has been focusing on a really young audience lately

Next Expansion Pack: The Sims 4 Corona Life

EA you for real trying to sell this game for an younger audience and at the same time promoting wohooing in the literal trash as fun and quirky? WTF

I just stumbled upon this trailer. How has it already been a year since this came out? It feels like it was just yesterday.

....... So how did y'all like my girl Maggie? And the height slider?! 😱

I just met Maggie and then watched this... A step down honestly.

I feel there isn’t a point in trying to tell EA what they are doing wrong anymore. The sims is changing and becoming different from the games we loved and grew up with. EA has continually shown that they don’t care about what we think or want. EA is greedy and they are NEVER going to change. It’s disappointing because there was much potential, constant advice, and interesting ideas from fans that they looked away from. EA doesn’t strive to create incredible content, they simply make mediocre cash grabs. I’m not going to lie, if it weren’t for mods and cc , the sims would be done for. Thank you sims, for dragging us on for the past years and convincing us it would get better but it never really did. Thank you sims, for letting I believe a majority of us down. This is one of the dumbest trailers I’ve seen 🤣

1:07 but isn't eating insects technically not an alternative to meat since it is meat???

"I go to university for a few years and the whole town falls in love with trash?" *can we date trash in this pack?*

remember when the sims didn't feel empty and hollow? anyway support paralives it's a lovely life sim indie game with a lot of passion behind it

people: *asks for farming in sims 4* EA:

Honestly I'm just surprised they didn't throw in "Okay Boomer", but they're probably saving it for Nifty Knitting 😐

The lingo is very, “How do you do fellow kids?” Lol...

"Home grown, ultra-organic, fresh, farm-to-table fizzle juice" What the hell...? Edit: wow, that's a lot of likes, thanks!!

Maggie is proably getting more attention and love than this

I feel like the Sims have been playing more of a trendy and younger audience lately avoiding the veterans of the game… It’s kind a like how they ignore the elders in the Sims4 😶

The marketing division failed. This trailer is awkward. Sounds like a school project.

This has to be the worse advertisment for a video game I have ever seen.. Even if I was hyped about eating virtual bugs this trailer would make me change my mind.. At this rate The Sims are dying and I’m so upset because I see things get worse and worse every year. This game needs new management, new artists, new programmers, new people on board the team asap!!!

I am quite disappointed. Yeah sure it looks interesting for a SECOND, then I remember how boring it is to play because of how dull sims are. This is going to be like allll the other expansion packs, you play it for a few days and it’s boring because you already did everything. We need improved relationships, improved babies, and just better gameplay overall. I don’t care about solar panels and all this stuff. Thanks but no thanks, I’m done supporting this game.

Paralives: reveals Maggie EA: *Quick!!! Do anything!*

why is there narration? it makes it awkward and feels very juvenile, i feel like ea is forgetting that a lot of sims players are older. every simmer i know personally is 25+ for example and this feels like its geared towards 10 year olds. the pack itself...i dont think there's enough content to justify spending $50 CAD on this based on this gameplay trailer. i mean this didnt really expand on the first trailer at all...it feels too empty for an expansion.

1:07 sorry to break it to them but bugs are still meat.....

“Weird flex I know. Just go with it.” - is she on about the price of this garbage pack?

So who else already met Maggie before coming here? 😂

Everyone: Paralives is better Me: WHY ISINT THIS IN SIMLISH

this expansion is brilliant, it’s nice content and stop compare everything with sims 3, it’s not sims 3 anymore

Sims 2 : Community: Missing game features from Sims 1!!!! Sims 3 : Community : Sims 2 was so much better. So many game features are missing!!!!! Sims 4: Soooowe have a chance to get a completely new game. With new ideas and game features. Community: We want everything from SiMS 3. Sims 3 was so much better!!!!!!! 👀👀

0:03 Girl you wanna borrow my inhaler for a sec?

They're selling us *actual trash*

Am I the only one actually interested in this 🥺!

I guess I cant wait for paralives!

This still doesn’t feel like an expansion yet...does anyone just feel this ‘empty’ feeling?? It’s been happening more with sims 4 lately and it’s honestly just sad like realm of magic was amazing on the surface but once you dug deeper it felt empty same with island living, that felt like a gamepack etc etc sims 4 just needs help and desperately

Narration was kinda weird. Sounded like a character from a Disney movie.

Why does everyone being so hard on EA sims are amazing and I for one am SO excited

Is it just me or did the narrator sound like a stuck up hipster? "I've got to show everyone how they can be better!" It was painfully cringy

I just feel like this should have been a gameplay pack

...they didn’t say “weird flex” in a sims trailer...........

how to make this a lil bit more acceptable: cancelling it

EA, this wouldve been the perfect oppertunity to give us farms AND HORSES!!! Theres barely anything "new" in this expansion pack AND this whole concept was already touched upon in Island living! What a wastte

When we said "we want the world around us to develop" WE MEANT THE OTHER SIMS! the sims 4's sims are LIFELESS. We need improved relationships and story progression. What is THISSSSS

What I want : cars, open wolrd, fairies, werewolf etc. What they give : *YOU CAN WOOHOO IN A TRASHCAN NOW*

Uhmm, I know it's off topic but, I love the narrator's voice its so calming... Oh, and I'm so excited to have Eco Lifestyle pack😍😍😍🇵🇭

You know... I want burglars back lool I hated when they stole my things back in sims 2 and the police showed up hahaha but that really happens in life haha. I miss the cups and firefighters lol

This trailer: *exists* Parafolk reveal: I'm about to end this man's whole career

When you watch the parafolks reveal then you watch this....

This expansion pack looks like a waste of money and just whack.

If the Sims 5 does not do everything that Paralives is doing right now AND better, I will not hesitate to switch to paralives.

The fact that this is a gameplay trailer and didn't showed much more than the first... Not to even mention the number of recycled animations...

I have never seen so many recycled animations

The Sims 4 was supposed to upgrade to Sims 3 but instead its downgrading heck Sims 2 looks better than this.

What we want: 1. Less packs BETTER BASE GAME 2. better BABIES 3. More free worlds or CREATE A WORLD TOOL 4. OPEN WORLD 5. COLOR WHEEL 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

i'm just here to read comments before EA deletes them.

y'all couldn't put farm animals but you gonna give us the option to eat bugs? i'm speechless

Bring back : -World Adventure -Ambitions -Fast Lane (Cars DLC) -Into the Future Then, I want : -Farm DLC (With Cow, horse, goat, etc) -Add more jobs like Get to Work DLC -Add more fun activities -Add New Map -Hotel DLC -Living in the Jungle (Like Tarzan) -Add Airport so we can go to other sims country -Zoo dlc or become Zookeeper or you can make your own Zoo -Living in the Ocean (Survival mode) just like Cast Away movie -Underwater Living (Atlantis or bikini bottom) hehe -Add more toddler and kids activities -Yacht DLC -Time machine that can bring us back to the past (Medieval or classic 80's) with new map -Add more holiday map -Add more musical instruments (Drum, flute, trumpet, harmonica, etc) -We can make our own Band and choose music genre we want -Teather DLC (We can watching Drama, Stand-up Comedy, Concert, etc) -Mall and Market dlc -Bunker DLC (Apocalyptric Survival) -Add more chairs -Add more dialogue options -Add burglar Come on EA! Give me what I want! Hehe

I know we just got the MAC makeup but can we get lashes and longer hair to please I feel like we would all really love it

Simmers: hey, can we have more traits for our sims and dinamic relationships? Sims team: *EAT BUGS*

Dropping the gameplay trailer right before Parafolk reveal lmao THE SHADE

Eco: DO YOU LIKE ME YET? Sulani: * aM i a JoKe To YoU?*

Sims4 Community: we want cars EA : *haha trash woohoo go brrrr*

We asked EA for better content and they literally said, “here’s some trash.”

I feel as if EA doesn't know it's own target demographic.. this sounds like something that my 6 year old sister would watch.

This trailer did not do this pack justice. The Livestream was so much better. I was going to buy the game anyway, but now I feel like I'm going to get my $$$ worth.

To be honest i hated it when it first launched but now it’s my favorite pack

EA really made a mistake releasing this at the same time at Maggie was released
