    Honestly, I love seeing other people opinions about game packs because, for example, I never use parenthood and it really is a pack that I don't enjoy, but to people like lilsimsie it's an absolute must have and watching this kind of videos makes me want to revisit those packs that I would normally not use

    A trick that I use for people that might be interested in the camping stuff without wanting to go to the vacation world is I make national parks that are campsites in residential worlds.

    semi-irrelevant comment: I wish they had made tiny living and eco lifestyle into one game or expansion pack. They could have made a tiny living world with tiny home community lots and each community has a focus on something like gardening or crafting etc and a couple off-the grid lots in the woods or something. They could have expanded build mode with more built- in furniture options like under-stair storage cupboards, a single burner cooktop and wheels as a new foundation option! New sims traits like nomadic, community-oriented or tiny living. I just love tiny homes and building them always sparks so much creativity. Obviously I don't know how easy/difficult it would be to make all of those things but nonetheless it is my wish.

    I would say, if you want Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat is almost necessary. They synergize so well. You can take the portable shower, and bed, and tents, and what have you from Outdoor Retreat with you to Selvadorada, which makes exploring the temple so much better, imo. You can take care of your needs much better while you're working on digging up the archeology spots or exploring deeper into the temple. Whenever I explore the temple, my sims can basically live in the temple for days until I finish digging everything up in almost luxury. Plus, the portable double bed from OR is technically a portable woohoo spot. lol

I'm really interested in archaeology in real life, which is why I bought the pack and why I like it, but I genuinely have so much fun playing it. The temples are really fun and unique, and some of the stuff you can find is super cool. Overall I just absolutely adore that pack.

    Interesting. I agree with your assessment of everything in RoM, but it's still a must for me because I just really love magic in the Sims. It was like that for me in Sims 3 as well, even if some of the spells a bit gamebreaking. Take 1 vacation to Selvadorada with burgliate and copypasto and you'll never need money again after 1 visit to the museum (10k simoleon gold plate which you just copy forever). ANYWAY, I just really like putting occult sims in general in really mundane situations and seeing how they juggle their weird nature and even use it to succeed in everyday life. There's something funny about, for example, being a doctor vampire. Dr. Acula. Or being a spellcaster and just being a total fraud gaining fame by copying items that give you fame to sell or random stuff like that.

All my worlds have spas or gym/spa combos and all my sims have the wellness skill. I love doing rags to riches where my sim is a massage therapist and essentially starts her own business that way

    Not gonna lie, I've had the Outdoor Retreat pack for years and I never even knew I could do a vacation in the Outdoor Retreat world- I didn't even know it came with like a whole new area so thank you lilsimsie for telling me about this. Also love the previous video you did on roofing tutorials for the sims 4 it inspired me and helped me allot when it comes to building!

  • @Mrnoone23
    @Mrnoone23 Před rokem +2

    Thank you for the video, it was very informative. I can understand that vampires is in fact not that special when considering other packs or content. I can also understand as a former content creator, staying positive about the game you love so much and maybe having mixed feelings about certain things within it but remaining positive anyways for the sake of your fans and your channel. I'll be waiting for your next video!

  • @rileyallen489
    @rileyallen489 Před rokem +3

    My personal ranking by packs I play with the most: Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, Dream Home Decorator, Strangerville, Parenthood (but every house I build has those counters), Werewolves, Vampires, Realm of Magic, Spa Day, Dine Out, I used Batu once.
    These aren't the packs I build with the most, but when I play, that's how I play. I'll also note I get a lot of use out of every pack except Dine out, so they're all really, really close. I don't own MWS.

    I'm a major fantasy fan, I haven't played through with Vampires yet. And I have yet to get realm of magic and Werewolves, but I think I'll rlly like them because of all the different abilities it gives your sims. Plus making fantasy game or story characters. Everybody has there opinions ofc!

  • @jennajette7402
    @jennajette7402 Před měsícem +1

    Realm of magic is my absolute favorite for gameplay. I’m more of a gameplay player than a builder and I love the idea of learning new spells and making potions. Totally respect your opinion but for those who love occult gameplay, this is my all time favorite pack

  • @breakthewall.mp3126
    @breakthewall.mp3126 Před rokem +6

    My top packs are Vampires, Realm of Magic, Strangerville and Outdor Retreat. They have my favourite worlds, build items and gameplay. Tbh, the Star Wars pack would be there if i could justify buying a pack just for the build items because i love sci-fi, but don't care about Star Wars.

  • @LukOliveira95
    @LukOliveira95 Před rokem +20

    RoM and Strangerville are def. bops for me, not flops. They're so much fun and diverse, speaking in gameplay-sense. I couldn't care less about teaching kids being responsible and whatnot, but give me fun and exciting sims with adventure and i'll play forever

  • @yziez
    @yziez Před rokem +3

    Werewolves has to be one of my favourite packs in the entire game as the world literally feels lived in and the werewolf system in one my favourites by far. Maybe I am biased as I got werewolves right after it came out but I literally have to play with occults in my game

Also wasn't there supposed to be a nail tech thing? I can dream..

    @BrightBlueInk Před rokem +2

    I just started playing Sims 4 again after not having touched it much since...2019 or 2020? So this is super helpful to know what I should grab that I missed! Vampires is one of the favorite packs I own so that probably means I have to get werewolves. and maybe the magic one, although spell casters don't appeal to me that much so knowing the world is disappointing is...rough.
    I also really like the IDEA of Wedding Stories but I don't know if I can handle it bugging out on me...hmm.
    For reference I'm actually a pretty big Star Wars fan but I dunno if I would actually want to get Batuu. I'm not sure why, since I like occult sim gameplay, but something about having Star Wars cross over with the Sims just feels WEIRD? Like the idea of a sim being able to go to a Star Wars planet just breaks my immersion, even though I'm totally okay with them going to Sixam.

    @piretiino1 Před rokem +14

    I think that it's actually good to have houses that are empty, because every time I move my sims in to a house the first thing I do, is delete all the objects and build my own stuff. So, maybe it's not that bad, it's just faster to start playing :D
    Two weird houses in the world and that pulls the ranking down? Just delete the house as soon you move in and the problem's gone :D :D

    • @sanahlis5322

  • @blueturtle3623
    @blueturtle3623 Před rokem +1

    My play style focuses heavily on families (growing together is actually the only DLC I've pre-ordered for any game ever) and I very rarely have an all-human family. My occult ranking from best to worst:
    1. Spellcaster. It doesn't really have any major drawbacks unless you're constantly using magic, and the perks minimize the risk of sims dying even more. Curses dont really happen to my sims if I keep them out of the magical realm so they're less likely to do stuff to cause curses. The spells, particularly the practical spells, truly help a lot. Especially when there are a lot of kids and not a lot of time. Something expensive breaks? Repair it with magic! Toddler used potty chair? Scruberoo! Need a quick meal? Conjure one magically!
    2. Vampires. Also super cool and super fun, and like Simsie said they can be very different. They're well-balanced as well. My only real complaint is that the houses you can move into are all covered in garlic so I need to do a sweep of the house before my vampires can enter while they're burning in the sun. The aspirations are also a lot of fun to complete.
    3. Werewolves. I usually can't have more than 1-2 werewolves in a household without losing my sanity, but they're still super fun to play with. I usually play with them for stories or when I need a fun change of pace.
    4. Mermaids. As they exist in the sims, they're just boring. They're basically normal sims unless you're in Sulani, which is super restrictive. Even in Sulani, there's not a whole lot you can do. The Expanded Mermaid mod is a must-have, with that they're a lot more fun.
    5. Aliens. I tend to just forget they exist unless there's an abduction, and I've only made one alien in CAS.

    you can resize items (construction items included) you have to click on the keys that are in between the"P"key and the "| \" key; one of them make the object big and the other makes the object small; due to a previous game update the key that make objects big makes the construction objects too big.
