      My parents are the type where if you ask dad, he’ll tell you to go ask mom, but if you ask mom, she’ll tell you to go ask dad.
      In those situations, you do whatever you want.

    I'm glad they made this pack, but The Sims 4 still desperately needs obstacles to shake up gameplay. I miss things going wrong...fires, robbers, accidental deaths and aspiration failures were always the best part of past Sims games. The Sims 4 needs to push back a little on the player so that everything isn't so predictable and easy.

    • @KajsaBernhardina
      @KajsaBernhardina Před 7 lety +197

      I agree, I really miss robbery, getting hit by lighting, a more risky world overall! I think tS4 is too safe! The Vampires game pack delivered in that regard, but I realize playing fantasy isn't for everyone so they should really get to work on these things!!

Seriously? Who decided that this was normal? Even if not a free update, maybe something like £10 at most for expansions, not £40.

    LGR's insightful approach to this pack: Parenthood is a fun and more realistic approach from previous game packs that involves you in the upbringing of your sim's life and shapes it on the interactions that you have with them. Two new feature buttons on command let you fart and burp.
    My insightful take away from this review: You can shart now in the game.

    Holy crap. This is the first add-on for TS4 that actually interests me. I also really like anything that adds realism to these games, which is why I don't really like the game as a whole very much, because it relies a lot on cartoon-esque humor. But as soon as you said something about acne, I had this flashback of TS2 and all the little details I loved about that game. I always just thought that everything made for this game was just rushed effort, but this is some serious potential.

    I know this is an old review, but I have to say I actually appreciate the rabbit hole volunteering and other "go away for awhile" events, clubs, etc and I wish they would just add more of them. Once your household is on the second and third kid, sometimes you just need time with less people to manage and so sending a sim or 3 to go off and do something where you don't have to manage them is really useful. Most people aren't going to do the parenthood pack in a bubble, they are going to be doing parenthood alongside a Sim who's working, trying to keep up a romantic relationship with their partner, etc. etc.....you know life. And sometimes you are really grateful your teen can take their little brother out volunteering for a couple hours so you can just focus on potty training your toddler before you do those reports for work, lol.

      I'm really wondering when The Sims will actually upgrade from silly misfortunes to rated M misfortunes where some particular Sims aren't allowed to get good jobs without degrees, or the possibility of being murdered so there's actual tension in the game.

      aaannnd then realize that the only consequence is getting the evil trait which means pretty much absolutely nothing since the game is shallow and completely devoid of consequence or meaningful reactions to player decisions.

    • @Imagineim
      @Imagineim Před 7 lety +23

      Papa EA would never allow M rated content in the game. I'm hoping to one day see one brave indie developer gallop over the horizon and create an amazing sims-esque game to challenge this franchise.

    • @MrJoeyWheeler
      @MrJoeyWheeler Před 7 lety +33

      If this pack actually went the extra mile to have real negative consequences like being ineligible for jobs or difficulty performing basic tasks, I might have been interested in it. I don't see how that kind of stuff would be M-Rated.

  • @susanthorpe5153
    @susanthorpe5153 Před 7 lety

    I have been watching your sims reviews since the early days of sims 3 and thought it was about time to say thank you-) your humour, style and the way you deliver the information means it's the only review I ever need to watch.

  • @taranova12
    @taranova12 Před 7 lety +137

    I'm still playing the first three Sims games (haven't had any interest at all in ts4). The series has been getting progressively sillier and more game-y (ts3 was guilty of it too). I want a life simulation game that's mature, has consequences if you screw up, and isn't full of mini games and menus.

    • @JayedSkier
      @JayedSkier Před 7 lety +70

      I will say the only thing the Sims 4 has over 3 is a superior social system and multitasking - it makes the game 100% more lifelike cause people are always talking and laughing while doing several things. Everything else is kind of... bleh. And there's no open world, so I'm sticking to The Sims 3. But TS4 does have a few good aspects surrounded by dozens/hundreds of bad aspects.

    • @MrJoeyWheeler
      @MrJoeyWheeler Před 7 lety +43

      A little bit of whackiness is acceptable. You just can't go overboard. Having a witch or a zombie or an alien is fine. Even a Cow Plant you can feed your neighbour to is fine. As long as you balance it out.

    • @Magnet_Chaos
      @Magnet_Chaos Před 7 lety +36

      SIms 4 also has the fact that you don't need a super computer to play it. Unlike Sims 3.

    • @JayedSkier
      @JayedSkier Před 7 lety +25

      SonicChaos15 All you need is a good processor and the proper tools to clean up the game and help it run smoother, like cleaning out the cache files and nraas mods.
      Also, how well a game runs on bad hardware isn't indicative of the quality of the product: TS3 is still good, even if it needs a good computer.

    • @HEADSHOTPROLOL
      @HEADSHOTPROLOL Před 7 lety +17

      JayandNoPlay I mean, it kind of is. If the very way that you interface and interact with any given product is as broken and unoptimized as it is in Sims 3, even if you brute force it with hardware that is so beyond the requirements it's ridiculous (I've done this and it still doesn't fix it in the slightest, SSD, GTX 1060 etc. and only three expansions), then doesn't that have a genuine effect on the quality of the game? Because you can only really interpret a game or anything really in your eyes and how it's presented to you and performance is of course half of that presentation since that's the very thing that translates and connects the art that's been made to you, the player. Trust me, I love Sims 3 and it's easily one of my favorite games of all time but it is inevitably quite broken no matter what one does. Hell even if you could fix it (which if I've missed some crucial mod or something that helps here please link it to me) it still shouldn't be necessary especially if you take a look at the original system requirements and I believe it does genuinely matter in how one judges the overall game.
      It's one of those things that Sims 4 does get right, but it does so at the cost of all that Sims 3 innovated in such as the open world and sheer amount of content. That makes Sims 4 a compromise, not optimized. And the few things that are genuinely optimized and improved in Sims 4 are to be expected, not complimented. Plus, the biggest flaw of Sims 4 for me is that it just lacks that heart and humanity of the past Sims titles (especially 3) though maybe I just didnt play 4 enough to get a feel for it. And that heart is what makes the huge technical flaws in 3 much more acceptable and tolerable, but the flaws do still exist inevitably.

    This convinced me to purchase the parenthood pack; I've always found the children to parents interactions very stale in the base game. There are about 20 interactions you can do in each lifestate, and it's always felt limiting. I usually don't play with children because of this, and have difficulty moving past the first or second generation. So, hopefully, this pack is exactly what I need to revitalize my gameplay.

I can not tell you how much I appreciate your reviews and so very glad I stumbled on them, had nearly given up looking for someone that had a mind of their own. I get 5-15 minutes of lol's with your humor which is better then most tv shows these days and someone who feels the way I do about realism and practicality in sims.THANK YOU.

    • @stevenjlovelace
      @stevenjlovelace Před 7 lety +38

      The Sims Let's Plays are the best, even if it's a niche audience that watches them. I think LGR's Clue Mansion video with PUR is my all-time favorite, with the Insane Coffee Posse video a close second.

    • @orihalchon
      @orihalchon Před 7 lety +13

      Every LGR Plays with her has always been hilarious, in my book. Their banter dynamic has always gave me a good laugh, whether it's on The Sims, that puzzle-time-bomb game, or even on L.A.Noire - i love it when Clint messes up and it pisses PUR up! But when Clint's solo, it was fun in the same relaxed-type as his Thrifts or his recent Lego build videos, and i kinda miss that..

    I am so excited and so relieved to hear your praises on the pack! I definitely look to what you've got to say when considering if I want to spend money on packs for Sims 4. I will without a doubt be getting this after seeing how interactive and hands on this really has the sims being towards their children, siblings with each other, and children with their parents. And even if the volunteering isn't fleshed out right now (or ever) cute that right now there's even an action for it! What with this pack and all the parent/child love a perfect time to throw in mother's and father's day events in for them perhaps?
