Update aside, I think you're the only sims youtuber who made the effort to directly compare the changes. Kudos to you!
Tbh I'm more excited about the window update than the star wars pack.
Only thing I'm looking forward is if it has new deaths.
Knowing the Sims though probably not. I mean they call blood "plasma".
@@madison2480 if you be killed by a Light saber you doesnt bleed
@Kat.Probably dont get it, boycott the pack. or else they will still give shitty packs bc stupid people like you buys them
By the start of the video, the fight between Abi and Darth Vader actually shows how much love Abi is having love for the upcoming Batuu pack 😂😂😂
This also came with many broken mods.
Honestly the biggest downside to this update is for those who make/use CC (like Me) because it completely BREAKS build mode items like windows and doors. Its honestly disappointing because regular game build items are lackluster at best.
Yeah same.. :(
I have never been good with math, but I don't think 3 people can be first.
True
1
2
3
Oop-
Hypothetically speaking, if three people all get a notification at the same time they could all arrive simultaneously and see the view counter as 0. This is similar to hitting Like and watching it suddenly go up a dozen counts. In this scenario they are all, in fact, first.
Do I think they need to announce that? Not really. But it's still very much possible and even statistically probable.
Actually, if you think about it as a race, they could all pass the line at the exact same moment in the exact same motion and pose, so none of them are further ahead of the finish line. This is however not realistic as no one would agree to do that and the chance for it to happen naturally is almost as low as someone coming back from the dead.
Finally some necesary content instead of those packs....
I love how you always showcase the changes even when they're minor 💕

Ty for making this now I know what’s in this patch
Welp I'm gonna continue to play the sims 3 😊 let me know when EA makes the sims 4 better 👋🏼
Same girl
Yeah, I will continue with Sims 3 as well
I will say the thing Rapunzel and Eugene sang under the floating lights, "aNd At LaSt I sEe ThE lIgHtS!"
If this were Sims 2 or 3, these things would've been in the base game....
So much has changed for the worse without Will Wright
It's been a while since I've built in S3, but I know for a fact that you couldn't stack windows in Sims 2 without massive glitching - and you needed to use moveobjects for that much. It was that way all the way through the last update. Build Mode is one of the few places were Sims 4 has vast improvements, though certain aspects were still easier in 3. (In particular, adding upper floor tiles without needing an enclosed space.)
if this was sims 3 it would be running at 3fps.
@@BonaparteBardithion i believe they arent saying it was a feature but if it _were_ a feature itd be in the base game not a pc update...
@@beecried
That's a fair point, but the counter argument is that they didn't at the time for a reason. Sims 2 and 3 were released under different technological limitations. Sims 4 is late to the game now, but it wasn't unreasonable for them to not include things like stacking windows at release.
Now, the lack of terrain variance and continued prevelance of flat lots is a problem. How am I supposed to make a hillside house with a daylight basement when a random mound in the middle of the neighborhood would stick out like a sore thumb? That's the kind of build elements that Sims 4 should have had in base game.
I'm not gonna lie, is obvious they're trying to throw us off with this update hahaha
I apologize if im jus bein dumb but what do you mean?
@@FaygoTheClown like they are trying to hype us and make us feel excited about updates to the base game so we stop talking about how a lot of us didn't like the Star Wars pack. Like to distract us. Does that make sense? Idk why it made sense in my head hahahahha
@@tycoonsimmer Ah yup that makes sense an its probably true lol, ty!
It was not even remotely interesting
They can't ever throw me off. I always see simmers reviews on it in my recommendations.
Yall not gonna mention the broken mods and game crash increasing??
Sure, this is a cool patch, but it also broke CC windows and doors. As someone who can’t afford all of these packs, I really rely on CC to help my gameplay. 😭
this new patch broke my cc windows and doors!!
Can we please talk about apartments in city living are broken again? Since January... 2019...
They aren't broken for me?
@@FaygoTheClown Try Zenview 702.
How is it broken?
@@petronela2504 Try demolishing walls or bulldoze it, but watch it, bulldozing crashes your game. Oh, and so does placing rooms from the gallery ect. Oh, and some objects can't even be moved/placed. Apartment zenview 702 is the worst case I've found so far, but others are pretty broken, too. Btw, there used to be a fix for 702, but since the trash pack that doesn't work anymore. It is broken beyond repair and I'm pissed that it's still not fixed.
@@luxarcanae I haven't experienced that but it's just laggier there for me
I love how positive you are with everything! 😃 it makes watching these videos and enjoying the small stuff in the game waaaaay better.
Thank you for actually showing the updates other than just the windows. No other you tuber has done that with this update
Are you going to make a sims logic about the star wars pack?
Thanks for posting this on my birthday. Even though I don't play the sims anymore, I sill love your hilarious content and have especially been laughing hard at your critically acclaimed Sims Logic series.
This patch ruined my cc windows...
oof
Some of mine too:(
Mine as well. Do you know how to fix this issue?
Barbana not yet. I hope it gets fixed eventually like other issues I had in the past. I’m so done with sims 4 antics that I downloaded sims 2 yesterday.
Windows update is simply brilliant.
Finally i can have window over doors!
Finally!
Anyone got a bug, where sim own a bunch of lump of clay, and futuristic cube, sim will sometime automically get a glass of water, bake a cake, Broken laundry - where sometime the cloth is wet but have the option to set them down but no dry, (or wash). NPC will sometime show up to your place an took stuff or even community place too
No but have you glitch that mermaids keep their dehydrated moodlet even when they arent dehydrated
Even after so many years, i still play the sims and i still watch your videos 💙
LOL The first time I saw the thumbnail, I thought it is about "Microsoft Windows" update 😂😂😂
the window thing makes me as someone who just loves to build sooooooooo happy :D so many creative idea love it
This is my first time since I've been on CZcams I've been this early for a video.
And I actually wasn't trying to be.
My hand hit this video by mistake but I don't regret it I'm subscribed here.🙃
Me, doesn’t use my computer and uses my PlayStation that doesn’t have the sims.
EA, UPDATE
Me, :(
Imrobloxintheroad vlogs well that’s sad 😔
I really need to say something funny but I just don’t know what. So please pretend I said something funny :)
Edit: ty for commenting and spamming my phone! The ones who actually laughed have a good sense of humour!! 💙
Hahahaha you're so funny
This is funny in its own way. X3
Lol
Lmao i love your sense of humor xD
I cant breath omg 👌🏻😂😂
Unfortunately it looks like this patch has once again broken the Freelance careers :( I hope this is fixed soon.
I think it broke deleting floors, too. I can't use ctrl to delete them yet deleting walls still work fine.
I’m still waiting for EA to fix some counters so that they come with matching cabinets because I swear down I didn’t throw my money at them to have unfinished packs.
I'm not a builder either, but I'm excited to see some of my favorite builders on CZcams make good use of that stackable windows update! :D And the "elope while on vacation" feature is a nice little addition. It is kind of sad that they took away the extra colors from that kid hair instead of keeping them, though. Kids can have colored hair too, EA!
Did anyone else with there cc doors and windows you can’t see through them any more or is that just me
AAAHH no more bugs i hate it when they came from work they wore random shoes
at least EA fixed it
Only took 6 years ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
Do... Do people actually place windows in basements? Why? It makes no sense 😳
For light I suppose. Those basements who are not all the way underground. Idk how to explain. Americans do that anyway. I'm not american 😂😂
Maybe if you want to make an underground atrium or underground class pool?
Anyway esle notice his intro to the video is him fighting dark Vader he wants us to know he hates the new pack
Welcome back Abi and how have you been?
This is almost better than the alt placing them
-Stackable Windows update-
Me: Eh. Whatever I'll watch it.
Onlyabidoang: So aside from the new star wars pack coming out-
Me: *You had my interest, but now you have my attention.*
Well this explains why all my CC windows have bugged out
I wish they would add the dressing babies ability to base game. I want my baby to wear something then it’s twin maybe?! They added the ability in the Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack.
I've noticed since this update some items have broke. In particular few doors and windows from get together. OH well plenty of other things to use now.
The shade for the intro and outro of the video😂
Abi: * exists *
Me: I loved that.
After the update is anyone having the issue where once you are on a vacation lot you can’t travel off the lot or your game will crash?
Oh the Bunny Day music!😂
Meanwhile the ghosts on my legacy family lot still come into the house every night to bake 5 cakes 😭 it’s so annoying
Man u really really hate dark vader so much u fighting with him at the intro hu...XD
**sighs**
**opens sims**
Can someone explain to me why there's so much hate on the new Star Wars pack?
I think it looks pretty neat, but maybe because I just like aliens alot.
It does look nice, but it's the complete opposite of what the community wanted. It's a long answer, but I'll try to explain. Sims 4 has long been criticized for being less engaging than its predecessors. It looks pretty, sure, but it's a cardboard façade. The gameplay is shallow and repetitive, even more so playing without packs, and even the packs only add a couple hours to the experience until the novelty wears out. Features that were in older games by default just don't exist, or had to be begged for, like pools, ghosts, and toddlers. Yeah, they wanted to skip a FULL lifestage. The world is small and fixed. Not to mention there's a LOT of bugs that break one feature or the other that were never fixed, pilling more and more as new packs are added. Game-breaking bugs are quickly fixed, but smaller game*play*-breaking bugs are left skittering. A patch introduced new skintones, but those skintones look absolutely terrible, meaning Black Simmers cannot represent themselves in their own game. Another added gender customization options, and unlocked clothes for both genders, however these clothes often look atrocious because the meshes weren't properly fitted to the other body shape. And if you play on console you cannot rely on mods to fix the game for you. The game feels half-assed and careless, their responses vague, their priorities skewed away from the players they supposedly want to reach. The outrage against this pack comes from a long time of feeling unheard, being tired of teases and hints, and being treated like ATMs. This is just the last drop in a glass that was already overflowing, just the last slap to the face, a greedy, unashamed, corporate mandated, souless cash grabbing slap to the face, when there are already so many things the game needs to be fixed and improved that they SHOULD prioritize before coming up with this kind of niche content. It's not for Star Wars fans, and it's not for Sims fans. It's a Disney ad that we're expected to pay for.
As a standalone game, it's okay, however it is the FOURTH in a landmark series that set fantastically high standards (I'm not joking, The Sims 1 is in a museum), and it's generally failing to live up to its pedigree as THE life simulation game to play if you want to play a life simulation game. It feels like a step back compared to previous games, and it's that comparison that damns it.
Not familiar? Here's some examples:
First, the Sims themselves. You may or may not like the cartoony artstyle (I do), but overall everything looks better and smoother than it ever did. But other than looks, it's impossible to tell Sims apart by their behaviour. Sims in 4 can only have 3 personality traits, there are few traits to choose from, and they're next to pointless, they do not interfere with interSim relationships, or Sims' relation to the world around them, nor to they influence their autonomous behaviour. For instance, if you have a Sim who's a "Loner" you'd expect them to feel uncomfortable around people, and a "Bookworm" to get more enjoyment out of reading books than the average Sim. In both 3 and 4 they get related moodlets. However, the way it works in both games is completely different. In 3, Sims actively protect themselves from negative moodlets, and seek out positive ones. In 4 the traits influence their reactions, but not their actions, meaning every Sim tends to act the same.
For instance, in 3, a Loner + Bookworm Sim would avoid public places and crowds, mostly sticking to their own house and bedroom. If in a crowd, they will leave the place on their own and retreat to safety if they can. And when they want Fun, they will read books more often than watching TV or playing on the computer. Makes sense, right? In 4, however, if a Sim with these two traits is in a crowd they get an "Uncomfortable" buff and a frowny face. They don't try to leave. If they want Fun they will do whatever is in range that increases Fun, like TV, radio, PC, books, with no preference. They get an "Inspired" buff instead of a "Happy" one if they happen to choose the book. That's it. How is this Sim a loner and a bookworm, if they don't act like it?
Next, the worlds. In Sims 2 and 3 you had a whole town map to play with, meaning you could move and place lots anywhere they fit, switch a small lot for a big one or vice versa, and edit the overworld like trees and decorations. In 2 only the lots are playable, so the map is mostly decorative, but in 3 it's open world. Where you live makes a difference because distance is a thing. Many community lots are rabbitholes, meaning you can't follow your Sim inside, but otherwise there are no loading screens whatsoever going from your house to the neighbour's. There were problems with the routing that created some infamously bad lag, but it's fixable, in PC at least with the hard work of modders. In 4 the worlds are cut up in neighbourhoods. Looks like semi-open world but it isn't, because if you want to visit the lot across the street it needs to be loaded, other lots only loading the outside, even an empty lot needs to be loaded if you want to walk there. Cutting up the worlds would make sense if the point was to reduce lag, but there's no point when lots aren't loaded anyway, and what is loaded is just window dressing that you can't even change.
Next, the DLC. Not only is it overpriced (literally twice the price it should be WITHOUT sales, why do you think they're on sale so often? it's to pretend it's a good deal, it's not; overpricing then discounting is a classic sales technique) but it's severely lacking in delivery. With Sims 2 Pets you got cats and dogs, along with rodents and birds, a ton of new CAS and Build/Buy items, plus some weirder walkbys like skunks, penguins, and wolves, plus werewolves. In Sim 3 they expanded the offer, and gave us cats, dogs, horses, a ton of small pets like snakes, birds, and I think spiders and lizards? Werewolves were moved to an occult-dedicated Expansion that vastly improved all occults and added new ones. As well as expanding the range of interactions they could have with us, and with each other. With 4 instead of a "Pets" expansion we got "Cats and Dogs". Because it only comes with cats and dogs. If you want rodents you need a separate DLC, "My First Pet", that ONLY works if you already have Cats and Dogs. Want birds? Maybe in the future we'll get a "My First Bird" Stuff Pack, who knows? Instead of improving the content and giving us more for the new game, or even just more of the same, they gave us less and we had to pay more for it.
Cutting up content, recycling concepts, and selling us the same thing twice, and things that should have been together in the first place, all in a bid to squeeze as much money as they can from the playerbase.
There's little to do, and little effort is required to do it. Once you're rich there's no challenge but the self-imposed, or the storyline. Sims 4 feels geared toward children, unlike the previous games that were considerably more mature, teens and up, and not something I would let a young child play. Sims 4 takes you by the hand so much it might as well just play itself. Aspirations are trivial to complete; in both Sims 2 and 3 they were called lifetime wishes, and with good reason, because you had to work really hard to get them, dedicating a large portion of your Sim's life to fulfilling their wish, and the rewards for doing so were worth the trouble. Now nothing happens unless you trigger it, and the world feels dead. Sure, it's a sandbox game, and the game can't tell you what to do, but at the same time it's a game meant to simulate life, and life is unpredictable. There's at least 100 Sims in this world. Surely they're not all napping all day. Things only happen on the neighbourhood/lot that is loaded, and all Sims are called there even if it makes no sense. Why is Vlad in Sulani? Why is Bella Goth in the Magic Realm? Because the place that is loaded is the only place that exists. There's not even a basic progression system. If you don't do anything, your neighbours will grow old and die without marrying, having children, or advancing their lives. The whole neighbourhood would be emptied, and it will if you disallow the game from filling empty homes with randomly generated Sims to pretend there's something going on. Technical limitations or lack of a budget aren't an excuse, because modders keep proving time and time again just how lazy, prideful, and arrogant EA is, taking a beloved franchise and driving it to the ground for maximum profit with minimum effort, as they've done time and time again. I'm not even blaming the Gurus; they're just doing their jobs, being scapegoats for a company that would piss on their corpses if it profited them.
I hope one day they add town view like in Sims 3
Every time the sims4 updates I'm thankful I never bothered to buy it
Best patch video update 😍😍
* *Cries in legacy edition* *
F
Almost all of the pop up choices for me are invisible. For example, ordering gifts or creating a group. I’m guessing this was a mod that messed it up but i wanted to know if anyone else had this!
I kind of want to have rotateable windows because if there's a window that doesn't fit the entire wall and there isn't my more in its style then I guess I'll just suffer.
I am actually early!!
God bless the sims team for stackable windows
