  • The biggest issue I see with the like/dislike system is that it relies on the emotion system, which I find broken at a core level. It gives tense/happy moodlets that can be easily overriden. We'll see how it works with autonomy. A lot of things are said to affect autonomy, but I honestly see no difference whatsoever. Every Sim feels the same. One great thing about the architectural design profession in The Sims 3 is that it was integrated with Story Progression. So when a family had a child, they'd ask your Sim to come and make a nursery for their child; when a Sim got a new job or promotion, they'd ask your Sim to build them an office, art studio, home gym, etc. PS: I agree it's a builder's pack. As always with TS4, the most impressive aspect is Build and Buy Mode. There's very little gameplay in this pack.

    • 100% agree. Over-reliance on emotions is I think one of the game's biggest problems. It was flawed from the start and needs some kind of overhaul. Even using some of Roburky's ideas would help.

    • Hmm... but not entirely on the moodlets? It also affects the fun need and autonomy, and adds interactions that can affect relationships (when she complained about kid's music to the kid that loved kid's music, they got negative relationship). But yeah, as funny as the angry dance was, that was a missed autonomy opportunity - she shouldn't autonomously dance to music she doesn't like.

God forbid you try and open a restaurant with all the packs and what not you've purchased from EA, because it still will not work. Yeah, it use to work, but shouldn't updates fix things and not leave more broken game play? I know the devs can only do so much as the top tier in the company makes demands, so that's why I don't blame them as much as the people in charge making the calls on what to focus on, resources, and time. Sorry, too many let downs on a game that was always trying to do better with each base release and then drop kicking it off the roof of the tallest building they can find.

You pay $70+ USD and get a game that's not even playable; that should be illegal but it isn't. It's also not illegal for them to deny refunds when a product isn't even finished; EA has been sued and lost evey time they deny refunds, precisely because of the fact that it's false advertisement. What these companies do is the equivalent of a car company selling a substandardly manufactured vehicle, but put out ads that show it performing like it should, then denying refunds because it turns out the vehicles don't even have the parts neccesary for it to operate properly and/or the parts are poorly made and break, causing accidents or inoperable vehicles.

    • For people like you, this might be grab it in a sale then (if money's a factor). I mainly say so as thankfully they have the likes/dislikes and bunks upgrade coming in the free update, but it's only fair given how much many have invested. I still appreciate it from them though.

  • Ooh I'm not a builder, but this new pack is really enticing. The new items look really good (that chaise lounge 😍) and the new animations of the sims are great too. Sadly I'm really not interested in the new career so I think ultimately I'm not gonna fork out money for this pack... I'll just rely on CC creators and see how they play with the new meshes.

A few quirks could be liveable with, but the big question for me is, will it make the sims feel different, and will the like system actually affect gameplay? Thank you for the video Carl, your thoughts are very much worth listening to.

  • This update is the best one in a while!! I’m so excited about this. The only things about the preferences settings that I wish they would have featured was food and maybe a zodiac sign setting (like sims 3) even though it doesn’t really change the sim in any way. It’s just a nice little addition.

  • I know it's probably an unpopular option, but this is the one pack I am excited for! (late to the game I started playing sims 4 just before RoM came out, so i didn't get to be excited or disappointed about the previous packs) I mostly build and as a console player without story progression gameplay didn't really appeal, but a building centered gameplay kind of makes me excited
