I wish they would scrap the content for a bit and do a health patch instead
but of course, they wont... because ea sucks ass
Agreed! I’m so tired of the gardening glitch 😔
Put maxis in release time out for a year until they have a functional base game lol
Literally. Half the content in the game is borderline unusable. They need to stop making new garbage to add to the pile and fix the mess they already have.
Fixing doesn't make money. New packs on top of the dumpster fire does.
I feel like the sims has been giving us a lot more stuff that just isn’t that good. It all feels kind of rushed. I think they don’t understand that we wouldn’t care if it was a little late as long as it’s actually good.
classic EA being money hungry
Last year they pumped out like 2 years worth of content in one year. This is why the packs have so many bugs. Cus Sims devs simply don't have enough time to finish them and the packs end up rushed. If sims devs would actually have time to finish the packs properly they would be much better and with smaller bugs (cus there isn't a game that when an update happens or a dlc come out that there would not be any bugs)
With new life simulation games coming into play and talk* about TS5, i can see why they’re trying to rush content out so fast. Maybe to stay on top of their genre in gaming.
Yeah people say they would understand and then they get upset cause there is no new content.
@@deannatreat6819lol very true
If they’re fixing the weight system, they should have cheerleading be just as beneficial physically as football and outdoor rock climbing the same as using the indoor climbing wall
yes!!!
Yes, and gardening, soccer, table tennis, table fusball and even swimming and hiking should make the Sims lose weight.
They should also gain the Fitness skill when they do those activities you and I mentioned, maybe not the table fusball but other physical sports, swimming, gardening, football and chearleeding too.
Swimming already does that…?
@@referenceslut7529 no one mentioned swimming bud
i wish the sims would just take a step back on new content and instead work on fixing their old content. i feel like the more content you add the more difficult it is to fix these bug issues we've been complaining about
They tried like 1 pack refresh and when it didn't fly off the shelves stopped doing it. It's like they don't understand the concept of building community loyalty. Makes me think they'll abandon the game once the competition paralives, life by you, inzoi, etc comes out.
It's not the Sims team's call. It's the bosses at EA's call. They would probably pause the pack releases and fix all the bugs if EA would allow them, but it doesn't bring in the profit, so EA wouldn't allow it. EA just tells them to keep churning out the packs to make them money.
@@steggopotamus Yeah, that just bugs me. Refreshes apparently need more sales to happen but a free to play basegame and free dlc's..sure! That's fine! They can't tell me for a second that that helps them.
@@lunabelletheinsaneOk? The point still stands..? Obviously.
They are too focused on profits. There's no profit in fixing old packs for them. It's disturbing
I'm an eating disorder therapist. Thank you for not just assuming weight loss is worth a "Yipee." You are the first outside source that thinks that way. Thank you! 🎉
I think they were probably shooting for "yippee, we fixed the thing that is broken!" but I agree; a second pass through that note would have been a good idea.
Agreed. Ex eating disorder here (as much as it can be), “yipee” majorly bothered me.
Mega agree as someone who is both fat and deals with eating disorders in my own life
recovering from anorexia into a larger body here, it was really nice to see someone commenting on it
Agreed
I'm glad Snap is doing well ❤ Our 16 year old kitty crossed the rainbow bridge this morning, so seeing Snap making biscuits warmed my heart. He was the best boy and we will miss him very much.
Hope you’re doing ok❤️
Sorry for your loss, i lost my best boy a year ago xx
Awe bless you! I cant imagine the pain i hope you have a string of blessings and some sound sleep 💕
Sorry for your loss 💔
may he rest in peace
the weeding loop is so annoying because if you have a hired gardener it's a waste of money because they stay in the loop all day and charge you full price even though they barely did anything...
Weeding just doesn’t work for me even if I make my sim do it
weeding is so annoying. I pretty much just delete my plants and buy them back so I don't get stuck in a loop. Don't know how to fix it
the weeding loop never happened to me until very recently and yeah it's super annoying. time passes and my sim is still in the loop, getting tired and dying of hunger. the first time it happened, i didn't know what was happening and i almost got my toddler taken away. i don't really understand how they're able to make new problems appear but here we are.
The weeding thing has literally ruined multiple of my playthroughs because I rely on the gardening so much
Even bunnies end up stuck in front of the plants. I gave up and whenever weeds appear i cheat them off.
As someone who rides horses irl, I wouldn’t even say riding horses helps you lose weight. It helps you gain muscle. So I’m interested to see how it manifests in gameplay and I do think “Yippee, horse riding now helps sims gain muscle” would have been less tone deaf.
Yeah, gaining muscle / being fit doesn’t really equal weight loss
what are you talking about? how do you think gaining muscle/losing weight works? if horse riding helps you gain muscle, that means it's a work out and helps you burn calories. Burning more calories obviously helps with weight loss.
@@imogenklark2798 muscle can add onto your total weight which is why while it may lose some weight, you might end up gaining more pounds of muscle than what you lost
I had some auto-generated townies whose last name was Fukuda. Every time I went in to update their clothing, I got warnings about how I couldn't upload them to the gallery. I didn't even create them! 😂
Had the same issue with sim names. I made Lucy and Judy (with their original names from Cyberpunk) and couldn’t upload them. When I recreated them and called them just Lucy K and Judy A, it still had issues. It’s pretty odd.
@@RosinaEmilyW Side note I love Judy in Cyberpunk, she's such a cool character, so is Panam
I also have a case with the plants. My sim watered those plants, and normally they would stay at the age they are and be a little greener, right? WRONG. For some reason, the plants reseted as they would be if they were just planted, which is, of course, ANNOYING.
This happened to my excellent quality gem tree, it was SO CLOSE to being magnificent, I'd been working on it for in game MONTHS. I was so upset that I just shut my laptop
that bug has been around since seasons came out and they still have not fixed it :/ even though it’s something EVERYONE complains about
@@alanabanana4013 I am offering you and your sanity my condolences 💔
I was so anti cheats until this kept happening to me and I just gave up and started cheating my plants back to whatever level they were.
@@refillpan4663 it's because the Sims team doesn't care. Nothing will convince me that they care about how buggy a ten year old game is. I've absolutely had it with the Sims team.
I would really like the Sims Team to spend a good while fixing their many broken expansion packs instead of putting a bunch of new broken content in the game. 😂Makes me wonder what's going on behind the curtain that's stopping them.
Money, probably. Can’t make more money from fixing broken packs people have already paid for than for pumping out new broken content that many players will just blindly buy
Quartely profit reports need to show growth or the shareholders won’t be happy. That’s it. Got to keep those billionares happy.
The people who don't play the game and just make money and profit off the game are the ones who call the shots and provide the timeline and deadlines. They don't give the Sims Team enough time to fully develop the packs to the caliber they would prefer, so they have to release it when it's good enough and hope they don't introduce any major game breaking bugs when they do. The Sims Team are not the ones who want to give us the glitchy game we get.
I know this is an odd comment to post here, but I genuinely want to thank the three replies here for being really helpful and kind with their replies. I’ve seen way too many negative comments when it comes to the sims team and their struggles.
@@nina-thi that's definitely sounds like small-brain investor logic because a lot of people watch reviews to decide which packs to buy so the packs been so broken is what is actually causing them not to be bought. They made the basegame free in order to get people to buy more packs but what's the point if there are no packs worth buying for the still-new players who just got the basegame like myself (and I consider myself new because even after two years of owning sims 4, i still haven't bought any packs since they are so shitty.) If packs were worth buying, people who don't own those packs would buy them regardless of how old they are. But I'm guessing even if they acknowledge that, they aren't willing to pay the upfront cost of fixing them.
No I was actually so mad that horse riding didn’t cause weight loss, because it’s very physically taxing
It is! I went horse riding for the first time in a few years and oh my gosh it was the biggest workout!
It’s not really cardio tho
@@Lee-9 but it is exercise, lots of it. Especially if you include taking care of the horse. If we’re sticking basic Sims logic where exercise and salads cause weight loss than horse riding should as well 🤷🏻
@@baileyfunke4782 I guess so. I suppose I just read everyone’s comments with ideas with what would cause weight loss and imagined a sims world where fat people just don’t exist anymore because everything changes the body lol, which is true but also isn’t because fat people like myself exist and do do these things and continue to be the same weight? I dunno, I’m not expecting an answer to that spill I was just explaining y I probably replied in the first place lol.
@@Lee-9 it’s so funny you mention that because I was going to say “but obviously fat horse riders do exist because bodies are just different” but I left it out because I didn’t want to sound overly defensive as a fat person myself 😂 but no I totally agree. I wish there was a little more control about that sort of thing, because some people shed weight super easy, others not at all and there’s nothing wrong or inaccurate about it. I feel like in all my farming/horse playthroughs, with the amount of good home cooked food they eat, everyone is fat no matter how physical the chores were, which is fine but I wanted some variety, so I ended up complaining about this thing soooo much! But no, I COMPLETELY feel you on that one!
my biggest problem with gardening is the strawberry plants are a freaking bush! Strawberries crawl across the ground and it looks so cursed for them to be hanging from a bush... smh
Damn, I've had strawberry bushes at my grandma’s and not once I've thought about it in the Sims.... I need to unsee this smh haha
SAME it bothers me so much
I mean - so are the grapes. Sims has a grape bush. I grew up in wine country, I’m very much aware that grapes grow on vines. This is only made more annoying that we now have wine (“nectar”) making but you still can’t have a vineyard, just… bushes.
@@bookcat123 wow, i woulda added this to the list but haven't grown grapes yet (i started playing when the game went free to play)
Kayla you don't even have to put it nicely anymore, EA fumbled the ball so hard it fell to the core of the earth
i do agree that the wording with the "yippee" is strange. It also made me uncomfortable but I assumed it was because I am also a person with a history of disordered eating. I like knowing that someone else also felt that way. I do agree that 'Yeehaw' would have fit more.
rightt? its hardly even really the first time theyve worded something relating to weight loss like its a joke when i think most people, post ed or not can agree that its not really that funny. it feels like in a lot of media that topic tends to not be taken as seriously as it should be, and it sucks to see it in the sims too
Totally agree with you and Kayla, and others saying the same thing. "Yipee" comes across so badly even if it wasn't intended that way
I don’t think so. I think so many people wanted horse riding to have weight loss so they meant it as “yay! Your sims can now loose weight by horse riding” I don’t see how it’s insensitive from my point of view.
If you're all this triggered over something so small, you've lived a REALLY good life & I've struggled with ED, I think you all need to learn healthy coping mechanisms
@@BigMamaMaple wow what an unkind thing to say. no one is "triggered", just stating its an unfortunate way to word things. Everyone feels things differently and it sounds like you need to learn how to treat people a little kinder
i feel like i’m genuinely confused as to what the sims team’s goal is? like why do they keep putting out more content that usually feels rushed and half-hearted when the majority of the audience keeps begging for them to stop so they can focus on bugs? the only answer i could think of is maybe this is what was planned and they’re just following the order in which things were planned and worked on, and we’ll get a heavier, bug-focused update after all of those plans?
Investors. They have a certain amount of money they need to make for investors, and they don't care about things like fostering trust with the sims community for long term community building. They just see number go up when new packs sell, that's it.
Bc they want to earn money and bug-fixing is not a way to do that That is a way to keep their audience satisfied, sure, but a lot of people kinda gave up on them actually doing so and still keep playing
I wouldn't rely on a bug-fixing update later. I think their plan right now is just release as much paid content as possible before TS5 comes out.
@@notllikethat Bug-fixing would absolutely earn money esp when the bugs are major enough that they put people off from buying the packs. But there's an upfront cost to fixing bugs that they obviously don't think is worth it.
It's not the Sims team. It's EA. Electronic Arts is notorious for buying up very good video game companies with novel or popular franchises, then turning that entire studio on its head to make as much money as possible. Rushed games, microtransactions out the wazoo...then when the franchise/studio no longer is profitable since people hate the quality of the games, they shutter the studio. Trust me, the actual programmers and designers and all that are doing their goddamn best but they have to follow the executives orders to include certain things and meet certain deadlines.
The gardening bugs are beyond annoying…I have a multi generational family farm with a huge garden evolved all the way which required lots of time and effort and the other day everything turned back into dirt! I know it seems silly but I actually cried because I was so frustrated lol
Holy shit im so sorry lol
they changed the order of the stuff packs when you filter for them as well it’s super inconvenient
When I saw the title, I thought the Sims pulled another stunt like that stupid blinking shopping cart icon... Compared to THAT disaster, this update doesn't even feel that bad 😅
The blinking shopping cart icon… it HAUNTS ME …
I really, REALLY wish they'd take the time to fix the bigger issues... the wedding pack is still horrendously broken and it's been crickets ever since. If they would just take a year off and focus all effort on fixing bugs, I guarantee they'd sort most of, if not all the bugs.
I have a build idea! 🎉 Build a house using the base game and all the packs that have gotten free (for a limited time) since 2022 - that includes: - desert luxe kit - luxury party - jungle adventure - my first pet - romantic garden - backyard stuff I don't know if there were any other, but many people have them in the game now!
100% agree with your thoughts on the wording of the horse riding patch note. I can understand the wording from a developer perspective if it was meant to be "yipee, we intended for this to work this way originally and now it finally does," but objectively it comes off as odd handling of the subject matter. I was actually more bothered by it after you suggested 'yeehaw' because yeehaw would have been perfect and is such a missed opportunity
The weeding bug is so annoying! I also can't finish the botanist aspiration because it keeps resetting the "evolve 10 excellent-quality plants" counter. I love The Sims lmao
EA has disappointed me so much, I feel like they just truly don't care about the people who love their game and only really want to make money.
That's not new tbh
Welcome to EA. They're notorious in the video game industry/sphere for buying up video game companies with novel or popular franchises and squeezing out as much money from them as possible at the expense of quality and fun. And when the studio is no longer profitable because people hate playing their games, the studio is shuttered. You hit the nail on the head; they don't care if the game is fun or even presentable.
You’re so right about the tags, we desperately need more with how much content is in the game now! For example, maybe divide up the decorations further, into dividers, posters, wall decals, hutches, etc. I’m tired of scrolling through dozens of wall stickers to find one painting lol
14:12 i didn’t know you also have a past with ED, i also do and it means a lot to me that you would be open about it because the way the sims community sometimes talk about body/weight is very insensitive
Hi, in regards to the weight loss and horses thing: back when i played with horse ranch i made a medium sized sim to be a horse riding expert and spent all the time with her riding her horse. This was also a rags to riches so she mostly just ate things she scavenged around. But soon enough her weight bar was all the way to the top. I found this confusing because all of the other exercise types in the sims make the sims get more athletic, but it was almost as if the game was not counting it as a sport? I think that is the bigger issue because if one wanted their sim to keep the same weight for one reason or another and they wanted them to ride horses, the sim would have had to pick up another sport. Which makes no sense. I think the way they worded it didn’t get the point across and turned out weird (ps. I’m sending the best wishes to you and Snap❤)
Yeah, this was pretty visible in James Turner's horse ranch LP. His sim was horse riding everywhere but she ended up really big, just as much as sim that don't workout at all. Sims do gain weight really easy, but it makes no sense that a horse riding champion that also spends half her time stomping on fruits to make nectar is just as big as a mother of 5 kids that just paint canvas all day (his growing together LP, in this case)
Plus the bug report was at least initially focused on the fact that active sims were getting the “bored/stressed from no exercise” moodlet after spending all day riding a champion horse and jumping and so on. Really hoping they fixed that too, not just the weight gain.
Glad Snap is doing better her tumor was bigger than mine! Mine was only 1mm on my brain that I got removed 5.5 years ago which I was born with.
I hope you’re doing better now ❤️
I hope you’re doing better now ❤️
Any size tumor is tricky in the brain because the skull is a solid boundary so the brain gets squashed aside by the tumor. So I'm glad yours got removed and I hope you're doing fine!
@jgr_lilli_ it caused permanent damage yes but that permanent damage only contributed to a problem I already had and if I had waited longer (I was 24 when they found it and it usually isn't found until 40-60 years old when you go through menopause unless you have a hormone disorder) it would've been a lot worse. It was also discovered that I had a hereditary hormone disorder amd this all started with a bad sinus infection!
I JUST DOWNLOADED SO MUCH CC & MODS LAST NIGHT
Oof
I did too, but a few days ago 😭🥲
This update won't break any mods/cc,since it isn't a major update,for exemple a update related to sims skins would break skin ccs
@Eleyrica That reminds me, I'm still irritated that the actual CC skin tones have never been updated since the last time skin tones were changed and I doubt they ever will be because it's been a year or so now. I especially miss the Bare set by Lamatisse. (Edit: to clarify I don't think anyone has figured out HOW to do so because the first two times we had some major updates to the skin tones they fixed the CC ones pretty quickly and CMar even created a program so you could update old abandoned ones too.) This isn't the same thing as the skin overlays which have been repaired multiple times lol default and non-default.
Play offline for a hot second and see what needs updating again
You should tell Snap that she can take a break from working. Shes busy making biscuits but she should be resting!! Happy she is doing better :)
Her bakery needs fresh biscuits!!
I knew I wasn't going crazy when some things wouldn't show up on my werewolf. I remember the same thing happening for mermaids when they first came out.
idk if it was a contractual obligation w dark and lovely and ebonix, but it would've been cool if they'd bundled the hair update with the kit release update. I guess technically it's better that we got the new hair swatches earlier, but it could've made for a more impactful promotion of the collab kit, and I'd like it if there were more eyes on that kit. also it would've made this mandatory game update a little more exciting lmao
thank you for highlighting the sims bug report forums! asking for bug fixes in KZhead and twitter comments does not get the right eyes on them! does it still take them too long to fix bugs? Oh absolutely, but let's at least write our complaints down in the place where they'll actually see them
Yeah because I saw someone who used to work as an EA bug tester say that if noone comments or adds a "me too" on a bug reported on the forum in a certain amount of time, they are told to take that as if its been fixed, even if nothing has been done to fix it. Basically if people stop complaining then it obviously wasn't "bad enough" to really bother them. 🤦♀️
Omg the gardening being messed up is killing me. I have the same problems and it's driving me insane.
I don't have any packs that modified gardening and I have the one where the plant resets and a healthy plant looking dead.
seeing snappy make biscuits was so cute! glad to see her doing better
Kayla's explanation of how the 'yippee' feels a bit yucky was spot on! I find it really weird the kind of language the sims uses for a teenage targeted and young adult audience when referencing weight in the franchise, not just in the sims 4, i remember being like 7 years old watching the sim make a grossed out face when you would click on the 'bigger' body size in the sims 2 and remembering it now in my mid twenties- I also feel like it was just a not needed patch 'fix' to add in, if anything why didn't they make it that it increases the fitness skill as well as the horse riding skill because weight has nothing to do with either of those things? just a very odd thing for them to fixate on all around, very well put and pointed out by simsie tho!
The weightloss connected to horse riding was something people wanted. Horse riding is a very physical workout, esp if you take into account caring for the horse, and while there are definitely overweight riders it makes no sense for a Sim who starts out thin to be gaining weight while _managing a ranch_ or yeah even horse riding (when taking into consideration the simplified weight mechanics of the Sims.) Cheerleading is also not considered a physical sport that helps you lose weight yet cheerleading is a combination of dance and gymnastics that is VERY physically demanding. There's just weird decision making on what is considered a physical sport and what isn't. The wording absolutely could have been better tho.
13:44 they could've associated it with the fitness skill, like all the other activities sims do that cause physical changes
The wording on the weight update definitely read a bit weird but it definitely has been an issue! I don’t think it was meant to come off weird. The weight system seems to have a lot of weird holes that don’t make sense, and if you’re trying to keep your sim looking like they did when you made them it gets annoying. Another creator had a sim that ran a huge ranch full time, but because gardening, horse riding, nectar making, etc, don’t count towards calorie burning their Sims’s body changed very drastically and it made no sense. Definitely was a needed thing! ❤
I use MCCC to lock my sims' appearances because the system makes no sense to me and is too annoying to deal with So it's just a thing for me now to make them look however I want and then lock them in that state
In real life people ordinarily don't change all that much throughout their life unless they are purposefully trying to do something about it, so why would sims gain weight after filling their hunger need to the full state or losing weight after a couple of running sessions As a person who had ED, I find a lot more triggering this way and I REALLY don't want to deal with this in the Sims
Weight GAIN should be based on time spent sitting and/or sleeping, weight loss based on high activity skills, and if they have the right ratio of inactivity:activity should stay consistent. Always annoying when they change body types SO drastically SO easily.
I wish my sims didn't get RIPPED so easy. They're hippies, man! Maybe lean or even skinny, but muscle- bound and brawny? I go into mcc to correct it all the time.
Fr sims gain wait by just existing, which can be true for some people, but not most, and it’s so annoying
I wish they would fix the weed bug 🤣. And I hate that you can´t move out sims by selecting split from household 😤, Like what am I supose to do kill the others? (yes I know you can go via manage worlds but it´s more fun when you can do it "in game")
And my sims refuce to take care of infants, I don´t know if that´s a bug or if my sims are just anti infants.
Oh yeah I wish
YES
The weed bug is the worst.... I always have gardens and recently got cottage living and the Simple Living lot trait is impossible to use because my sims and gardeners get stuck in weeding loops, it's ridiculous.
yeah it’s so weird??
I would happily have had this update video, without a single word about the game. I am absolutely certain that many others who follow the channel have had their hearts stolen by Snap over the years, and it is so lovely that you've shared the positive news with us! Well done Snap, you're a brave wee kitty
i appreciate that you commented on the phrasing of that weight loss point! it may sound insignificant to some, but how we talk about weight and weight loss matters
with other simulation games on the horizon one would assume they would want to stop focusing on new content and start focusing on the fixing part, but of course EA wants to drop as much content as possible before said releases so they get as much money as they can, so sad.
I usually have plants in every save, but the weeding loop made me cry with frustration everytime 😭I deleted all the plants now, hope they'll fix this
Thanks for the Snap updates Kayla! Your videos are always on in the background while I’m playing as well and I’m so happy to hear she’s doing better! ❤
i play her videos in the bg while i play too aha
the yippee about the weight loss comment also didn’t sit well with me. as a girly who also struggled with disordered eating it felt insensitive. but i don’t think the sims team would do anything like that on purpose.
No, they prob wanted to sound cutsy and silly in sims style, but forgot about the audience a bit lol
they likely meant it in a "yippee, we fixed this thing that was bothering people" way, i highly doubt they would have done that on purpose. i do think that they should have gone through it again though, at the end of the day it isn't a huge deal but it doesn't sit right with me either
@@riotghoul4237 yeah you’re prob right!
just opened the sims after waiting for it to update when i got the notification for this..
Snap is so beautiful! I have two 15 year olds too; one I adopted when they were around one+ and the other a few years ago when my company moved because of COVID. He was our work cat but our new location wasn't going to be good for him. He's retired and thriving in my home now! Keeping our elder kitties well is important and we're lucky to have them so long
I think simsie should do a challenge using only the WORST BLUE swatch(loving the flower wallpaper btw)
Seeing Snap make biscuits was the first thing to make me smile today. Tysm for sharing! Also I'm afraid I'm testing my bf's empathy limits with the daily Snap updates, while he knows nothing about her, you or the Sims. :D
Why do they keep releasing stuff that breaks the game even more.. they havent fixed any major bugs 😭
Because the executives are telling them to, so they can make as much money as possible from this franchise. Bug fixing is not profitable.
I had the spellcaster giving birth to a human after abduction glitch! Just that back then I didn't know it was a known bug, I thought it was just my game being weird. This was in.....2022 💀
honestly the last bug (the cooking together one) i thought was just how they lazy were with the feature
so glad snap is okay!!!! my dog is almost 16 too and has had 3 cancer surgeries, it’s crazy the margins they took on her too 😢 the guilt is horrible putting pets through surgery and anaesthesia but seeing their quality of life go up after not having a lump on their body is so comforting
I was having trouble with having no power too. Bills were paid and I never got the pop-up letting me know that the Landgraab’s were turning my power off for a few days, it just turned off. The power was off for like a week in-game.
Our cat had a cancerous mass on his upper thigh and went through almost exactly what you described, but he also lost his back leg. That was 2 years ago and he's still cancer free today, very healthy and happy. Try to stay positive! They're way more resilient than we are!
I had no idea about that shirt in Crystal Creations lmao, what a strange bug. Glad they fixed it.
This was perfect timing when I needed to know what the update was about
Wait omg I haven't checked in yet but if they fix the cooking together/group cooking I will be ECSTATIC
I wish they would fix gardening bc I put gardening for most if my lots. They could also do a revamp on some of the old packa instead of focusing on continuously making new content. Like I wouldn't mind a Cats and dogs update with like knowing how long they have to live or make the gardening more realistic with exotic plants having to grow on only certain worlds or in greenhouse/inside to grow properly
So happy to hear your cat is getting better. Your understanding of pathology and description of the tumor margins was absolutely perfect! There's a career for that! Histotechnology! I've been one since 2006 and it is extremely rewarding. Your description was impressive and informed!!! 😍
With the way weight gain works in TS4 (with no base metabolic rate, all sims gain weight from eating any kind of food if they don't regularly exercise) it is important that anything which would be exercise in real life counts as exercise in the sims. Sims who ride horses regularly should be able to maintain a consistent body shape without having to also regularly run on a treadmill. However, the phrasing "yipee" is a bit gross. They're just fixing an inaccuracy bug. YeeHaw! would be better Also, gardening and cleaning should count as exercise.
3:55 THE SPELL CASTER THING HAPPENED TO ME! My sim had a baby with a spell caster, and is one herself, a werewolf, and an alien and my alien baby came out human!
i use two mods to fix the weeding loop and also the back to dirt piles/saplings its littlemssam gardening workaround and thunder tend garden workaround
Considering the size of the company and the SIms 4 team thse laundry lists/bug fix liste are absolutely hideous. Absolutely ridiculous, incompetent team. Take games such as Baldurs Gate 3 as an example, for weeks they'd push patches regularly that fixed thousands upon thousands of issues. Sims 4? 10-15 tiny things every 20 years.
Seriously, since getting BG3 3 months ago I swear I have to update the game like once a week 😂 It's great tbh, Larian is amazing. They have singlehandedly raised my standards for what a good dev company is and does, EA doesn't even hold a candle to them in retrospect.
The team isn't that big if you break it down by which bits the people work on. They have lot of people working on graphics (double digits), far fewer working on game mechanics/coding, and even fewer working on bug testing and fixing (single figures). They also have their bug fix team separate from the original coders. Normally bug testers throw the bugs back to the coders to work on. But EA has the coders start work on the next packs meaning the bug testers are having to fix the bugs. If you've ever had to debug someone else's code you'd understand how hard that is. Very serious bugs that require the experienced coders as opposed to bug testers (often only interns) then end up having to wait until they are done on the next pack/s as EA execs won't let them work on things which aren't bringing in money unless its hurting the brand image (which upsets investors).
Please trust me, this is not the Sims team. It is Electronic Arts. They are notorious in the video game industry for buying up video game companies with novel or popular franchises then squeezing as much money as they can out of the studio before shuttering them because no one wants their games anymore. The fact the Sims has any heart or fun in it at all is testament to the fact the Sims team is doing their best, but they're being given impossible deadlines and likely being worked overtime to meet them.
Talk about PERFECT timing! I was just going onto sims when I got the notification that you posted!
As someone who works in eating disorder recovery, the "yipee" was definitely uncomfortable for me. I always appreciate you pointing out issues like this
The sims 4 is rlly getting quite unique updates so far this year :0
Glad to hear about the horse riding. As a competitive equestrian myself I can definitely say horse riding helps lose weight and builds muscle especially at high levels
so glad to hear snap is feeling better
hey simsie! i'm glad snap is doing okay! my childhood dog, charlie, has a mass on her hip too! we took her to the vet and it's nothing but, of course, it's still hard to see. I'm really glad you've been talking about how snap is doing because it makes me feel a lot better. i appreciate all the hard work you do and being so real about everything at the same time! :D
The blank last names has been bugging me for so long omg i thought it was because of a mod but ive deleted and replaced mods multiple times and nothing rip
I actually Love the messy Patch Update Videos from you 😂
I love that you take the time and effort regardless! It makes me feel like I've got a friend to look through the patch notes with. So thank you!
Sending you and snappy so much love and so glad to see you both feeling better!! Loved seeing her make her biscuits 😍
I’m ngl I really enjoyed the chaotic energy of the video, it felt like when your friend finds some drama online and is trying to explain it while simultaneously digging for more information/pos
Where is the blooming rooms kit free version? They should at least give a date
Or some sort of update on how the rollout is going?
Oh good I thought I missed it!
My weeding works on and off, but I got two plants growing in one pot... city living festival plants especially places like that 😅😂 most of these bugs I did not know existed
a bit off topic, but i think sometimes you should try something different from the floor plan you usually do. for example, everytime you can fit 2+ bedrooms you turn them into a kids/teen bedroom, but you could also make them music rooms, art studios, candle makers spaces, little cinemas, laundry room etc... i think sometimes making more houses with these different, but useful spaces could be really cool!!!
thank you for being vocal about the "yippee" phrasing!!!!!!!
Vet nurse here, just wanted to comment on the surgery remarks simsie made. Anaesthesia is NOT dangerous for your average healthy pet. Unless your pet has underlying health issues, anaesthetics are safe! I’ve been a vet nurse for 4 years, and I monitor about 3-4 anaesthetics a day. Please don’t refrain from putting your pet under anaesthesia because you think it’s unsafe. Consult your veterinarian!
So happy to hear that Snap is doing well. My childhood cat sadly passed away last year, due to blood clothing. Probably something you should ask the vet to check because when they catch the enlarged heart early it is quite cheap and easy to treat but sadly it is not something that is routinely done.
Oh Kayla I completely understand watching your fur baby go through something like this and worrying about what can possibly go wrong. Its ok to cry if you need and thank you for the kitty update❤.
I love the cat cam :)
I literally thought the same, yeehaw would have actually been funny and appropriate, I've been there too so I wouldn't really like to celebrate weight loss
i completely understand your relation with your cat, as someone who has owned a cat up untill i recently moved out, i know what it is to own a cat, and i also half follow a different youtuber named goodtimeswithscar who recently lost his pet cat who whas his buddy ever since he whas diagnosed with a desease that left him in a permanent wheelchair, and seeing how hard that loss fell to him i completely understand your worry
i’m so happy to hear that Snap is much better! Sending you tons of love. I also had a kitty named Holly. We found her in the middle of a street when she was just a baby. I was about 11 when we found her. She passed in October of last year and it was really hard. She was my best friend for 10 years. I agree that it is the most hardest thing to witness your cats in pain and not being able to do anything or explain to them. I’m so happy that Snap is doing well 💕🩷 I hope and pray that you guys have many more years together 💕🩷
I want them to fix the weed bug
UNDER A MINUTE GANG
I am so relieved Snappy is doing much better. The gardening glitch has been driving me batty too. Ravasheen has a mod that helps with gardening and you can set it to auto weed. This has been my lifesaver for working around the glitch.
We had to put my cat down last month because of cancer. He was only 9 years old. I'm glad your kitty is doing well after her surgery 💕
so happy snap is okay
yess
I didn't realize this was posted minutes ago lol. I'm already playing. As far as I can tell... this update changed literally nothing. My mods haven't broken even slightly. So... yeah. Remember!!! BOYCOTT THE SIMS!! The packs will be there when they fix the game(and cheaper). And I'm someone who liked to preorder everything. SOO
I love your "chaotic" videos! I watch with my children and I'm LOVING the example you set to them. So pleased Snap is doing well!
Literally 90% of the bugs you listed are all things I encountered several months ago in a single gameplay, and got so frustrated I have actually stopped playing since then :D All relate to the gameplay mehanics I enjoy and the game feels unplayable to me rn
FOR RENT IS IN THE WRONG PLACE ASWELL😓
I’m with you there, Simsie. Celebrating something to do with weight loss is a weird vibe from them
im so glad snap is doing well!! you're both so strong, thank you for keeping us all updated. i know how it is to be bonded to a cat, and you probably already know but you are her entire world. she might now understand why she's in pain right now, but she trusts you, so things will work out. ❤
So happy on the kitty update!!! My MeiMei is at the vet for spay. She had surgery this morning and I'm waiting for the doctor to call. I get to pick her up in the morning. I feel so bad leaving her in a strange place overnight but her doc requires it.
I hope your kitty is doing well 😊
@@crystaldollhouse Just got her back home!! She is a champ!
Thank you for always being very sensitive with the words that are used when talking about someone's appearance. It means the world, you have no idea
honestly i never really noticed new packs and updates since highschool years. they have been really quiet recently imo
