The Sims 4 Star Wars: Gameplay & Features Review 

Unfortunately, I got the early access code a bit later than other EA game changers so this video got uploaded right after the pack's release date. And sorry for the "onlyabidoang" watermark! For some reason, the early access version of Sims 4 have your username watermark jumping around the screen. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video :D

Children can use light sabers, but child spellcasters cannot do spells! 😒

The way they handled aliens feels like something a mod would do as a result of modding limitations, EA had the full capability of making them new sim types but still took the same route.

Star Wars itself doesn't really match with the free gameplay style of the Sims, it would be better if it was one of those Spin-off Sims games with story and everything

No new occult like Jedi/sith or alien No new powers No new supernatural eyes/teeth Aliens cas parts are just disguise No new death No drama gameplay because Star Wars No Jedi/sith/republic(senator) faction The pack is basically a new vacation world with stars wars theme lmao

i haven’t played the sims 4 in a while but jeez, is this really the quality of game packs coming out nowadays? this seems like you’re paying money for a bunch of fetch/filler quests, you’re doing the same thing over and over it seems like what else is there to do? and this seems to be extremely lazily made. the best thing imo about this is the aesthetic of the town, but other than that, what else is there that’s... fun? sure, you have the card games, light sabers and the droids, but most of the time those aren’t even used to do the main quests. i wouldn’t be paying money for this any time soon.

in conclusion: this pack is worse than we thought

Honestly, this stuff pack is more better as a stand alone game similar to sims medieval.

They were so lazy that alien skins only affect limbs and the head! And the clothing restriction on Batuu is one of the dumbest things they've done!

I love star wars, and I really enjoy the sims but I really don't want star wars in the sims :/ Doesn't feel right

It’s weird not seeing Duke Nukem while seeing a sims 4 bad expansion pack review

1:46 it basically looks like my tan in summer

Since it was star wars and I knew they liked star wars, I was hoping they went all out for it. Add alien races, make this world like the alien world except more flushed out. I guess I just expected them to go crazy with the alien idea and build onto what they already had. The shop keepers are sort of ok. It would have been nice if I could go into a store and actually look at what is in the store. Maybe like how old school gameboy games were, enter store, see item, talk to shop keeper to open said shop keeper dialog and buy items. The amount of interactive items vs non interactive items is sort of the big problem with the sims 4. All that stuff and my sim can't do anything with it.

I don’t know what audience EA’s trying to sell this to... I hate this pack both as a Star Wars fan and as a Sims fan (>_< )

Even no more skills? No new Aliens, even more Sims in Costumes. The only thing that i like are the roborts.. but where is C3PO? no i really dident need this Pack, next pleace. Thank you for this great review 😊

The Sims 4: Journey to Disneyland It literally feels like all of these sims are just LARPing as Star Wars characters. Which definitely explains why the "aliens" are just people with masks, and why there's no actual force-sensitive occults.

I live in Florida and have been to the new Star Wars land, and when I saw the trailers for this pack I just kept on thinking... wow this looks familiar.

They should just make a Disney Pack instead.

I just want a color wheel for hair, skin, eyes, makeup, and clothes EDIT: Just came back from the trailer, and I’m glad everyone is boycotting EA until they change

Full 20+ minutes!!! I'm looking forward to this. Specially because this channel is very good in having both old school and new school sims content

Honestly I think my Origin was trying to tell me something when it broke and refused to update. Thanks Origin.

I feel it's unfair the lightsaber fighting have this fast and nice looking animations, but snowball fight animations are extremely slow and boring to watch. I want this action with normal things. And also with unexisting pillow fights and child games like tag. Why can they do this action in this pack, but not in the other packs.

I feel this pack like Strangerville. You do the let's play 1 or 2 times and then you just use it for the CAS and Build mode

I love your channel. I've binged almost everything for the last days. I didn't even buy TS4 and I don't really intend to, but I find it interesting to learn about its features. Your voice is also very relaxing to hear.

It's only an aesthetic world full of shells :/ Plumbella did a very good critique too like Onlyabidoang

LGR / Duke Nukem : *didn't make review about Star Wars stuffs* OnlyAbidoank: "Fine, I'll do it myself!" ✊

I love that EA gave a free product code to them the promote it much its basicly him shit talking to the game pack And i love it

1:39 that's so lazy. k changing my mind..the whole pack is lazy

Ugh. This could have been at MOST a $5 stuff pack. This looks pretty much useless, and we mostly had low expectations for it. Good job EA. You gave us something we don't want and try to charge us an exorbitant amount for it. No thanks.

Coming soon: Katy Perry star wars in the sims 5!

I'm pretty sure Disney made sure they had at least a couple "Imagineers" to make sure their product looked good.

I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, however I still think that this pack is kind of a bad one. I knew that it would be lacking in some aspects like I knew rabbit holes would be everywhere and stuff, however the fact that there's no lightsaber skill OR Force User occult makes me just... idk. I think that there should have been a new skill and a force user occult that could get randomly applied to sims. Another thing I don't like about this pack is that it doesn't integrate well with the rest of the game... like AT ALL. I feel like I need to make a whole new sim JUST for that world, so I'll always have low programming and low fitness. Since I've been looking into modding, I might think about making a lightsaber skill, a street smarts skill and a kind of hacking skill to compliment splicing and such. Anyway, my overall opinion is a bit negative, while it was fun to play through, I don't feel like I will touch the pack AT ALL in my other family's because of the fact that it feels like in the sims world it's exactly how it is in the real world, an amusement park. I think it would have been perfect if it was treated like how Sims Medieval was, a seperate game with it's own expansions and stuff. The fact that you can one minute be in modern day, then next minute you're in Star Wars, but you can go back any time is so immersion breaking and atmosphere breaking that it makes it feel like it should have been a standalone game. I feel like they should have release a different game pack in this place like an Equestrian game pack or literally ANYTHING else and spent 2 to 3 years making a full "The Sims: Star Wars" GAME, not game pack, but game. Just imagine that, being able to choose when it takes place, you want clone wars? Go for it, Galactic War? Go for it, First Order? Go for it. It would be so cool to pick your start like you're in Narr Shaddaar, no credits to your name just trying to live or some wealthy noble born into owning castles on another planet or you could even be like how Anakin was, a child, living with his parents when some random Jedi comes to your house and tells you that you can do good in the universe, that you're destined to be a Jedi. But yeah, closing thoughts, it's fun for around an hour or so until you beat the entire thing since there's basically nothing new. I'd wait for the price to plumet on G2A or something then buy it.

Wow thanks, I was not going to buy it, but your review show me how ridiculous this game pack is. For a real Star Wars fan that dont take the force and the lightsaber for playtoy thing I am rather disapointed in everything in that pack, especially the time period they choose, they could have taken the republic era or the empire... but they choose the fake star wars, the new trilogy... 🤮and they choose to make lightsaber just like a parade thing, a fake thing without interest to begin with, nothing special, nothing respectable... yeah thats how the sims team AKA Star Wars fans show us their ignorant understanding of the Star Wars universe... mehhh this is never gonna make it in my game, even free of charges.

Thank you for making sims content that we enjoy! 🥰

Your the other only person so far who's actually shown off what's in the build/buy mode. Some of the decor looks interesting but is going to be limited in usage unless you really play out the desert worlds.

In summary, you can't woohoo with aliens

I absolutely loathe how disney treat lightsabers. They treat it like some sort of cheap gimmick when it's supposed to be quite special or at least pretty damn significant in Star Wars lore. Not gonna lie though, the baby rey hairstyle and the jawa outfit (which would've been cuter on toddlers) makes me want to buy it...BUT I WON'T. The resistance encampment reminds me of Tython, it's pretty but like you said, just setdressing.

It could be an spin off game like Castaway or Medieval. It would make way more sense.

I actually think it’s kinda cool that they put in the effort to make Kylo’s face actually look like Adam Driver even though you would never see it if you play the game normally. The fact that you can buy droids is also cool. But overall I think they could have done a lot more with this DLC. The Star Wars universe is so expansive, you think they could have gone bigger and better.

Waiting for a sims logic of this pack am

This pack reminds me of Katy Perry stuff from Sims 3 They both are absolutely wothless garbage.

Still playing The Sims 2😉

18:09 oh god, i never seen Abi so furious .o. this pack is truly something... something that shouldn't be existing.

Ngl, when I heard there was gonna be a space pack, I was pretty interested. Like, it'd be cool if we got an expansion on alien life and got to live on an improved Sixam. I love occult sims. But not Star Wars. I'm so disappointed >:(

I was not so much in love with StrangerVille because of the gameplay but heck this pack is the worst

Man hahaha it feels like you’re presenting a med school work

The lil Rey buns on the toddler melts my heart 🥺

If I can't run around dicing people up with lightsabers in front of a random geezer while saying "The future is now old man." , I don't want this pack.

Literally the only interesting thing about this pack is the Droids.

If they'd made new alien races and integrated them with gameplay, or even dealt with how meeting the rest of the galaxy would go for the sims planet (hello, spore references), I would have been so interested. It's a shame disney's so aggressive with their IP. I bet that's why you can't kill anyone, wear your own clothes, romance certain sims, build in the world, et cetera. So why partner with a sandbox game if you're not going to allow creative freedom? Poor choice for both companies.

Using this will be weird, can you imagine the Landgraabs and the Goths suddenly appearing in Batuu with their modern clothing like “Why does everyone wear such baggy clothing?” lol I can’t

I liked strangerville, it was interesting to play but.. Did i ever play it again? Nope. Like this pack it would be a one-time thing and then i'd ignore the world entirely. We didn't need another story-driven pack, what we need to just more gameplay content. In all honesty, a person who doesn't give up easily could do everything in the sims in a few days or more. There is nothing in the game that sticks out and makes me want to keep returning - it's mods that do that. If sims 3 wasn't so laggy, i'd sit in that and ignore sims 4 completely.

Love your channel, and thanks for the great video. I was really hoping to see Emily wielding a lightsaber. I think I'll pass on this one, as I'm not a fan of Star Wars and will wait for a more "family," centered pack.

Thank you for showing Kylo without the mask and for the reylo part, it's the only thing I was looking for in this pack xD

That pack from the trailer release seem really bored, I don't buy it. Even more I 6 years wait for bunk beds and musical bands, and this very freaked me up( Sorry for my English, I almost don't know this language(

i can understand having so many events be rabbit holes cuz sims is not supposed to be an action packed adventure game but not having any new skills or occults or even ways of dying is a really weird choice. you would think a force or piloting skill would be a no brainer

I want the build/buy/CAS stuff from this pack with absolutely NONE of the game play. They really couldn't make a pack of decent stuff less appealing to me

Ugh I wish they gave us more voice options and accents

Day by day sims 4 is becoming a visual novel with all those text and choices.

Here i am Abi, your humble follower! 😎 BTW why this pack EA? I see it as a complete different story than what Sims4 is!

Am I allowed to say that I love you, Abi?

I wanted to buy Snowy Escape in a kit and Journey to Batuu is the only pack I don't have, so I'd have to include it there. Thanks for this review! I really didn't know if buying it in a kit was worth it...

Time to get some mods, create Anikin and some younglings.... XD

Unless I can go full on "Darth Vader bording the Tantive IV at the end of Rogue One" on the townies I want nothing to do with this pack

I really can't help be see this as the worst of the Sims and the worst of Star Wars mixed together...

Bruhh not the fitness skill being tied to lightsaber skill 🙅😬😂

YES 😁 a long video from my favorite youtuber and i’m pretty early too

4:01 *me looking at that powerpoint transition* b-b-deagh

thanks for introduce the detail of this pack! Well done! Yet this pack still sound boring to me though ：/

Thank you for being alive

Thank you, this is the most comprehensive video I've seen to date. Granted, I still don't want SW, but it's nice to really see what I'm (comfortably) missing. No FOMO for me here.

No Mandalorians, no Jawa stealing your stuff, only TWO iconic characters, they even missed out on hilarious inside jokes like when you're a Stormtrooper you can shoot stuff but almost always miss or that Stormtroopers can't sit (at least the cosplayers can't lol). Even listening to C3PO for two hours seems more interesting than this pack.

Thank you for showing this detailed review. I totally agree with you on all your points. This is a shameless cash grab by EA and it feels gross. I am a hardcore Sims fan since the beginning and I cannot believe THIS garbage is what they're putting their efforts into instead of things like babies not being objects, skin tones and the million other things this game is lacking. It's filled with repetitive activities that make game play SO boring and disappointing. I literally only play it to do 100 baby challenges, otherwise I'm playing Sims 3 for actual enjoyment. This pack missed the mark HARD.

Just when game packs for Sims 4 couldn't get any more half-assed EA goes all in and makes an at best quarter-assed pack. Great review dude :-)

Thank you for uploading this! You wouldn’t BELIEVE how many people are trying to make informative videos and put their opinion in it which usually spoils it for the people who like it. Thanks again so much!

Guess what? Who's playing in old save files is having problems and bugs. Like always. Why?

wait i thought this was a mod not a real game pack

This is great! Loved this vid

The pack looks fun! I would love to try it out!

I just wish EA brought back the other occult types or something. We getting knitting, camping, laundry and stuff like this. What's next a stamp collecting stuff pack?

I genuinely enjoy this pack

I've gone back to Sims 3. Such a great game. Hope Sims 5 will be better than this.

this video is really well made!! you should review all of the other sims 4 packs!

Where's my jaba senpai?!

I feel like this pack is actually so boring. I don’t think anyone is ever going to the star wars place

I love the fairness of this review 😌

Honestly, I was really mad about this pack but seeing that it is so much WORSE than I expected now I can point and laugh.

i feel like this pack was made very quickly. because based off of this review: •no variety in quests •no new skills, not even a force or lightsaber skill •what they put in droids could have been added to the simbots •no new ways to die (huh??????) •no new occults, despite the multiple opportunities (jedi, sith, more aliens) as a lifelong star wars fan, this pack is extremely disappointing. to me the missions feel like a new career from the get to work expansion. indeed, this is a glorified ad that's not even that good because the team did not put much effort into creating an in depth gameplay with variety. there were so many opportunities to add so much to this pack to make it interesting and unique, but this was so hastily put together (ex. alien heads) that it's not even worth ten dollars. im not one to shit on the developers of sims, i honestly believe they're just doing what ea tells them and who knows, maybe they're not happy about it either.

I wish they made there own location instead of doing the disneyland/world(or other didney parks its in) area

this pack looks pretty cool and i think that the scoundrel leader is the pirate leader from the clone wars yea? anyways, great video as always mate! :D and that one scene you put in... with the 2.. yeah it was funny

thank u so much abi for this in depth review! i have a couple questions though, how do our sims fill their needs in batuu (sleep, eat, etc)? also do seasons work there? if yes how do our sims shelter themselves from harsh weather?

It’s so upsetting to see how much work the sims team put into this pack. Like, doesn’t this feel ten thousand times better than the other packs we’ve gotten recently? It’s so frustrating to see they’re able to make stuff like this but only reserve that hard work for literal paid ads

This pack is so bad it hurts... But thank u for the Sims content! Keep up the good work!

Great video really enjoyed it!!😀

Thank you for this review !

Idk Who had the idea to make this pack but seeing the sims Community and yeah this is not a good game pack they should’ve either gave us a spin-off game(Ts2 style) or just made this like a Halloween pack/update or something similar to that Like you say in your video they were more important things to be addressed Skin tone, baby, and other cults(we still don’t have werewolves or fairies) just to name few What I can see from The Community (and myself) want of the sims team Improve babies kids teens and elders : right now the Sims four feels like a millennial/Young adult simulator (and before you say parenthood and nifty knitting I am aware of those packs exist) More drama: right now the game feels like Mr. and Mrs. perfect and I can get boring as it some point, cc well fun at the same time not everyone can get custom content More personalities: I’m tired of the three treat system it’s bland and it’s boring seeing the Sims three in their treats it looks and feels fun I really don’t like the zodiac system but the same time I really don’t care if they’re zodiacs(that’s just my opinion) and they can also add favorite colors and favorite foods like Sims three Darker and more skin tone/ Eyecolor: do I need to say more? we need more diverse skin tones and more eye color because right now just plain vanilla it’s kind of Joel even with custom content More supernaturals: I really really really want to play as a fairy or a werewolf now I know that most people don’t like the Colts but I don’t really mind The vampire's practice Has to be my favorite one(despite it being the only colts game I own) give me werewolves, fairies and improve mermaid Also, don’t be afraid to add blood into the werewolves pack please Sims Another problem I have with the game is the fact that is rated for teenagers/kid and looking back on the older games they were really out there just to say don’t be afraid to add a little spiciness into your game because right now the Sims four feels like a child’s game that one of the higher of an ea try to make and now the Sims team is stuck with the game that they’re trying to fix I feel bad for the gurus they really want The Sims four But ea (or someone else I don’t know) just won’t allow that I don’t know anything about business or coding but looking at the Sims 1 to 3 it looks like they were meant for adults the kids love them anyway Sims four feels like it’s trying to appease to the Karen I wish the Sims four could just be for adults and kids right now it’s pushing towards a kid agenda and it’s making the game bland and boring shirt custom content exist at the same time not everyone can get it for instants Consol players and Player that play on a phone, The gurus are trying their best to appease everyone but at the same time they work for a big company that only cares about money and since ea has the rights to the sims I don’t see is being sold off to a small company overall I don’t see the Sims for being a good game and if this game pack who’s that goes behind the scenes then it shows that EA really doesn’t care about the Sims The sims 4 has been out for six years and seeing the complaints that people have it hasn’t changed in those six years only time can tell what ea does to the franchise or until Sims five comes out we have to wait and see Sorry for the rant like you said do you only want the best for the game

I really don’t think the team know what aspirations are suppose to be 😂

On a side note, Galaxy Edge while being the base of this Baatu content, it is an official location in Star Wars mentioned in various novels

Thank you for taking the time to explore this new pack. Just wondering can Kylo Ren or Rey be turned into a vampire or spellcaster?

Maybe in a few years after they fix everything in The Sims 4, they can add stuff to this pack to make it worthwhile. Until then...meh.
