I Ranked Every Controversial Disaster Of The Sims 4

I actually REALLY like the laundry pack. It just should have been added as a free update. Like weather....

They need to have someone on the sims team who is a fan of The Sims games. It's very obvious that they never played any of the games.

I get really anoyed by the galery. Its such a great idea, but I hate how the searching by owned packs doesnt work.

Plant sims are controversial too. The fact that sims 4 plant sims are just green sims with nothing unique about them

I don’t mind the loading screens but it should have definitely been open neighborhood. To have a loading screen for visiting the apartment neighbors is just sad…

the laundry day controversy is missing some context: the reason why a lot of people were angry was because it was initially being pitched as an eco-friendly stuff pack, so it was supposed to contain a lot.more stuff than just laundry, and then gradually they kept stripping down that concept until it was just laundry.

the aliens in journey to batuu not being actual aliens, but MASKS really pissed me off. aliens generally need an overhaul and that pack wouldve been the perfect opportunity.

I remember when I switched from 2 to 3, it was hard letting go of the extension packs to back to a vanilla base game, but I was still SO EXCITED to discover a new game, and all the things they added, the open world, the traits, having shoes separate from pants, lol. And then 4 came and... features were removed, little to nothing was added. Woo.

I said it before and I'll say it again Sims 5 has to have lore (gravestones, memories), Easter eggs, iconic Sims objects like vibrating bed, cowplant, plant Sims etc.. also I want graveyards back and maybe funny and spooky townies

I also think another controversial thing, that I haven't seen anyone talk about, is how they just keep taking items from packs and putting them into base game. They took a bed from parenthood and made it base game so they could have more bunk bed options, taking hairs, and shirts, and maybe even more out of packs that people paid money for never sat right with me. t may only be one item, but I paid up to $40 to have that item and they just take them out and make them base game.

I play vanilla and the sims 4 loading screens annoy me so much I just won’t leave the damn lot my entire gameplay- I play the sims 3 regularly still and much prefer the longer wait and then I’m able to get the game going and go anywhere and do whatever I want without having to stop and wait every time. I think it’s the frequency that bothers me so much

Can we also talk about how you are required to make a Sim when you start a new game? That's proof in and of itself that this was an online game first and you had to make an avatar to play. But the Maxis team decided not to update this so that you can go straight into gameplay even though the give us pre-made townies?

For someone who's broke, and doesn't want every expansion, I feel like for me, this hot tub comes in handy, especially for people who want a hot tub, but don't wanna buy a pack just to get the hot tub. It may not be pretty, but it is still functional

The worst part is when they say they’ll fix things but then they don’t. Like wedding stories, they said they fixed it but it’s clearly not fixed. And recently the glitch of sims not being able to run, they said it was fixed but it’s not. And it’s not just the sims. The same thing happened in EA NHL ‘23, my husband mentioned that they announced an update to fix some glitches but nothing actually got fixed. I was like wow that sounds really familiar. And if you think the sims is cash grabby, google the price of NHL ‘23. And he says it’s literally the same game as last year, just updated rosters, updated graphics and added female refs. They didn’t even fix the glitches it had last year. I have to stop this before I get a headache lol, love you Satch!

#10 proves that, whenever given the choice, the majority somehow votes for the most vanilla thing possible. First laundry and then knitting. I still want my science pack, because the science career isn't sciency enough yet! This was one of the options! (Nothing wrong with knitting itself, it is a nice hobby. But so is science!)

Sims 3 Loading screen may have been long, but they had that little mini game to play while waiting

You're one of the only sims youtubers I watch because you're actually HONEST. I feel like a lot of this is brushed over but the reality is that EA's take on sims 4 is catastrophic and it is failure after failure. Thank you for actually voicing everything we're thinking.

TS4 is purely a building sim for me now- which I DON'T want- I want amazing gameplay. Even with mods, the core of the game itself is just so dull and shallow so I feel like mods can only try to fix so much. I honestly think the entire team working on TS4 is ready to move on. The only packs that feel like they were passionate about are occult (paranormal stuff is a perfect example). But the everyday life stuff feels so boring, and my theory is because they know and feel how shallow the sims/gameplay is, so it bores them to make it. Though I do quite like laundry day 🤭The items are nice, and I like the real-life element of doing everyday chores in the Sims. Adds more challenge to the game for me.

another thing about the star wars pack. the base game does have some star wars stuff already (I made a Twi'lek for the express purpose of doing stuff in the Batuu area) but when i got to that area, the sim had the Twi'lek head piece removed and i couldn't put it back on.

The Russia controversy was even worse than you said. Because the rules in Russia was that art of that nature couldn't be on child/teen level games but the Sims 4 was listed in Russia as an ADULT level game and so the whole thing was totally unnecessary.
