      Same sims 3 was really cool and felt Alive! I was always excited and could feel free and inspired because of that the game had an open world 🕊 Skill challenges, harder life time wishes etc etc. I literally still play it and enjoy it lol AND SIMS 2 TOO! ☺

      I think that's a big ask. Sims 3 was an incredible game with tons of different features incorporated. In my eyes, it was only possible as it was an evolution of Sims 2, and I think it's a little unrealistic to expect a new game to be like that out from the start.

      sims 4 is basically an empty game without the dlc's its BLANK like there's no snow no rain unless i pay and lets not talk about how parenthood \ grow together should been in one pack i paid for every single game pack and any other dlc's do uk why ? because they make huge changes in my game unlike life by you the it looks like the game it self is fun i dare u to play the sims 4 without any dlc's for straight two hours U JUST CANT if i had to play the sims 4 without any dlc's i would simply go play the sims 2 or 3 because they r more fun and interesting
      so let's just make it short and cute THE SIMS 4 PROBLEM IS THEY R GREEDY ASF THEY LOST THE PASSION AND ALL OF THEIR FOCUS IS JUST ON MONEY AND HOW TO GET MORE MONEY they give broken packs that doesn't work at all AND THEY GIVE SIMILIAR PACKS LIKE Cats and dogs + my first pet pack + horses + farm pack ----- all of those packs should've been in ONE PACK but nope they did not want to ---- werewolves and vampires and witches should've been also in one pack but THEY DID NOT WANT TO highschool and university should've also been in ONE PACK but they did not want to just think about if all of those packs weren't separated how it would make a huge changes for the gameplay and for the players too everyone would be happy its a win win for everyone EA would get their money and u wont see sims players complaining cause they are enjoying their game
      but nope i have to buy vampire pack and enjoy the pack and the few changes in my game for two hours then get bored and then buy werewolves and then get bored and then buy witches and the same sh*t on repeat but if i got it all in one package ? it would make huge and big changes in my game cause it'll take time for me to explore everything i'm not saying we should get stuff for free no but the least they could've done is putting more effort for the price we are paying instead of giving us broken dlc's till the part we have to use mods to fix it
      i won't compare or say life by you is better maybe they are worse than The Sims but as far as it looks they are putting effort and making sure to keep the player interested whether with dlc's or without dlc's they r making sure their game is fun and enjoyable not dead empty they know what the players want and they are taking NOTES they are LISTENING " EA on the other wise seems like their not listening at all they just give what they want and fix what they want cause seems like the wedding pack is still broken and unplayable" and its been more than one year and instead of fixing their packs their just releasing new other broken packs ????
      MY ISSUE is not with paying nor wanting stuff for free I JUST WANT SOMETHING WORTH THE MONEY AND KEEPS ME INTERESTED I DO NOT WANT A BROKEN UNPLAYABLE DLC THAT COSTED MORE THAN 100$
      it makes me feel like i've been scammed and lied to which is not cool at all

      ​@SimlikeitHot no actually!! Tons of people don't give a shit about occults and it would be really annoying and immersion breaking in game. Far better to have a fully fleshed out pack for occaults. If they added them to the base game they wouldn't be as good either. People don't care about lots of packs, we love them as gives much more choice. We have an issue with subpar broken packs that are never fixed, barely any content in them and split into numerous packs when it should be ONE and much better.

    It is controversial (the occult thing) but at the same time Life By You seems much more focused on mundane and real life, not on weird eeriness of the sims, something I think will be the difference between the two games. This game doesn't suit weird phenomenon like cowplants, supernaturals, or quirky npcs, but at the same time this could be a weakness of the game and a dealbreaker for a lot of people, personally I love making fantasy characters on the sims and doing the weird stuff, but at the same time Im very excited about life by you mainly out of curiosity because it just seems like such a different experience

    I believe that what interests me the most about Life by You, among other things, is the level of maturity and complexity. There are many simmers, myself included, who have been playing since The Sims 1 and we are getting older. My gamer friends from other games are between 20-35 years old. My simmer friends are women aged 40-60 who only play The Sims. In that regard, The Sims 4 feels more childish and much simpler than all the previous ones.

    The issue is not that if you go too realistic you go uncanny valley - it's that they need to work on skin textures in particular. Uncanny valley is a valley - it ends on the other side when you get realistic enough.
    I also strongly disagree on occults - they are a staple. However, they need a more serious treatment than The Sims has treated them. Imagine vampires done like True Blood or Vampire: the Masquerade. Imagine magic users with more subtle effects who must go through long rituals. They can work with LBY.

    • @ysabelherreragonzalez7937
      @ysabelherreragonzalez7937 Před 11 měsíci +13

      It is a valley! But it is a lot easier to create a dynamic, cartoonish, full of life style than to reach the other side without having to renounce to the 'alive' feel. Realistic textures are not gonna fix the problem. In fact, I get the feeling it has more to do with the lack of expression, of poses and of movement than with the lack of textures. I'd even say it is because the style is quite vague (not too realistic, not too cartoonish, instead rather impersonal) that it doesn't seem to have that much personality itself. It doesn't convey that much. They'd need to take more extreme decisions to fix that kind of visual problem, I think.

      @@ysabelherreragonzalez7937 I agree they need to work on texture, but not in a sense of make it realistic, just add more shadows and contouring to make it more defined. Its like the difference between maxis and alpha CC skin. The texture alone can make a huge diffence in how we perceive their faces. Right now its like a basic color gradient.
      Also the model by itself have weird proportions, short arms arm and narrow dropped shoulders.
      I think they have a different team working on the aesthethic of the game and only in the end they will replace these defaults characters.

      I think a dlc would be the perfect place to include occults for LBY - those of us who strongly prefer occult life sim play could purchase it and those who do not want occults in their town can save their money. Sounds like a win/win to me!
      Personally, while I am very happy with a more realistic look to the world and characters, and definitely want realistic gameplay to an extent, I have to admit that I am coming to the game from wrestling with reality for a bit of a break: too much realism will dampen my enthusiasm! Which is one reason why I will be very happy if occult dlc is ever offered!

    I really hope LBY focuses on animations for interactions.
    It is important we see how the humans open doors, pull out chairs, take off clothes.
    I understand the game isnt finish, but i dont want a situation like the sims were bookbags are spawning in invisible inventories and vacuuming is reduced to one spot "pretending" as if they are cleaning the house. If the clothes being "taken off" is just a visible asset appearing on the ground, that is a problem.
    Animations do not have to be flashy or overly complicated, but details really helps a game charm.
    Right now, those details are lack luster. I havent seen any animation that is unique or interesting yet. This is something that is so easy to look over but is needed in the long run. Animations in life sims help to flesh out the game. We don't have to go rdr2, but the expectation should be higher in my opinion.
    Also, i have questions about other ages in this game. Will children be in the game? How does their world affect our world if they are? If they arent, how does the absence of them help the ahtmosphere?
    Other than that, great job LBY. I am excited to hear more updates and reveals. I know im complaining and i hate when ppl complain about LBY as it has a lot of space to prove itself, so sorry about that. ❤
    The games graphics looks amazing and i trust the hands LBY is in.

I'm excited to see how LBY turns out as well. I think it's a little weird to cheer on the death of a game that we all supposedly love, however I do think the variety will help spur on a Renaissance of life simulation games and light a much needed fire under ea to allow for more creative freedom and more content included in the dlc they do put out.

    I disagree with the occult pack DLC. Personally, I really enjoy playing occults in games. I do hope they add it, but I want the DLC's to be isolated in a way that doesn't affect the non occult game play. Like if there was a mermaid occult DLC, all the features & game play should be isolated to the whole mermaid theme only (e.g. superpowers, underwater interactions, etc). People who don't want to play with mermaids won't need to buy that specific DLC and it won't affect gameplay what so ever because they won't be missing out on anything to do with non-mermaid gameplay.

    I only bought TS4 occult packs for the CAS and B&B, since I'm not a huge fan of the occults themselves. I know I wouldn't buy occult DLC for LbY since so far it seems they're fleshing out the game enough to be enjoyable even if you don't own every pack. I'd be happy for the people who love to play with occults, it just wouldn't be for me

    I think an occult dlc would be the best option, like it's a lot but still a dlc, not something you have to buy for you to enjoy the game, unlike the Sims 4 where the dlc are like, necessary or the base game is just flat.
    Also would mean that they are serious that their base game is a solid game first, and extras are just add-ons. (Occults, a new world, etc)

  • @uselesscookies
    @uselesscookies Před 11 měsíci +3

    I'm not a huge occult player, but I feel like ghosts and the grim reaper really are a necessary component for a life sim. Maybe I'm biased in The Sims' way of doing things and I need to just see how I feel when it actually comes out (and whether Paralives can just be a substitute when I really need a supernatural/goofy approach), but my initial thoughts consist of wariness about having no supernatural elements at all.

  • @piggychocostitch5679

    I personally don't like the realistic graphics - if anything is disproportionate, items, environment, scenery, etc., or less realistic, then the immersion will be instantly broken. I think the benefit of more simplistic graphics is that it's easier for everything to be consistent, and immersion is less easily broken if it isn't. Realistic graphics also make the game age much quicker, imo.
    Also, is it just me, or are the character proportions a bit off? Like their arms are too short, or legs too long - gives me Lego vibes, especially with how they currently have 'claw' hands when they're idle.

    As far as dlc goes, the main ones i want are some type of City Living or night life, and Celebrities. I would love to have a pack where your human or sim can be an artist in any genre and be able to perform on stage, collab with artist and be stalked by the paparazzi. Like i actually need this in the gameplay for celebs so we can actually see the come up and creative process with artist and record labels. Same with models etc. i actually would like occult dlc. only as dlc though. In the sims3 there where so many different things you could with dlc, take mermaids and creatures for example, you could take adventures and find hidden gems in caves etc. But i do think it needs be conscious. What i mean is that say you were a mermaid, what would happen if a human saw you get wet and turn into one.

  • @christinarenna7074
    @christinarenna7074 Před 11 měsíci +1

    I feel like Supernatural elements and occults would be perfect for a DLC because it becomes optional. If Life By You were to release DLCs, it would make sense for them to be along the lines of "Hey, we know not everyone wants this so we didn't include it in the base game but we'll add it on the side." With that being said, I also expect their DLCs to be more like those of the Sims 3 where they felt more worth the money than with the Sims 4. Something like The Sims 3 Supernatural EP but even better. Fingers crossed.

  • @jimpatchell2660
    @jimpatchell2660 Před 11 měsíci +3

    Occults? I would like to see maybe a DLC at the very least for this. If you don't want occults, don't get the DLC. The problem I have with the Sims 4 occults is that they are very limited. Doing odd things in these games are what I like. One of the things I do with realm of magic is "make a living" stealing stuff. I know you can do this without magic, but this just seems more fun. However, you seem to be able to magically steal stuff right in front of the owner with no repercussions. I wish there was a way totune the reactions of non occult NPCs. Maybe it may be that it might be possible to add your own mode to do this, which would be nice.

      Yes, in the original The Sims you had to hide that you were a magic user and pretend it was just entertainment. It would be fun to have a game where being an occult has serious consequences. You shouldn't be able to bite people in public or set them on fire and then go to work the next day like nothing happened.

      No one thinks you shouldn't have occults but it is a life Sim not a magical fantasy game. It's okay for the games to have different things in them or they'd just be doing the Sims all over again. Occult games are great, but every new life sim doesn't have to be one with occults especially considering it is the most unlike-real-life part of Simming. People claim they want real then get upset when they don't have vampires and werewolves. What the heck?

    Best feature or game system they need to apply should be "Experience" in conjunction with traits. For example, for the trouble maker person in their childhood, interactions and experience and struggles like school bullies or a mentor with good trait, or having debts while struggling to find a job for not meeting requirements, will affect how they turn out as adults and give them new traits negative or bad just depending on the experience they got in their lifetime. That would really add a lot of realism and personality to the characters. It's ambitious but it is possible. It's just a matter of conditional branches. Thousands of conditional branches 😂😂😂

    I didn't want any of the occult packs for TS4. I got Werewolves when it came out because of the build aesthetic. I got into the gameplay and was pleasantly surprised. Because of the lore, I decided to get Vampires and Realm of Magic, but have never truly played either. In TS2, a new occult came with each EP so I didn't go out of my way to get them. I rarely played them, either. I have a base game only save that I have been playing to "get ready" for LBY since I'm so used to all the DLC. It can be enjoyable, but that relies on imagination, and I'm excited for that with LBY.

    I'm personally not a big fan of occult play but I know a lot of simmers are. Simulation games are meant to be a sandbox game and I think something a bit goofy like supernaturals in its own DLC is okay. So the people who like to play with that can get that DLC and those who don't can just skip that. Personally I really enjoy university gameplay and I agree something like that would rather be in a DLC because it's not for everyone. Other dlc's I can imagine that could come are a get famous kind of pack, a pack that adds vacations or a farming pack that will add barn animals, chickens, horses, that kind of stuff. Because all of those things can expand your game in a way, but you don't have the fear of missing out if you don't have them or don't like that kind of gameplay.
    Has there been any news on if there are going to have different sizes of dlc's? Like are they only going to have "expension" sized dlc's or also smaller ones? I'm not that familiar with Paradox and their DLC system.

Make a good base and if the feedback is great, focus on making a well made occult DLC for players who want that kind of gameplay.
