- These are my EXTREMELY unpopular opinions about The Sims and The Sims Community!
This video about my unpopular Sims 4 opinions is definitely going to offend most people in The Sims community.
If you find you get emotionally heightened by people's opinions that are different than yours it may be better for your mental health to avoid watching this video (you have been warned!) :)
What's your most unpopular opinion about The Sims 4 or The Sims anything in general?

My "unpopular" opinion is that the Sims 4 is too "safe." I liked the chaos of the burglars and all the crazy stuff that could happen. Now people seem to freak out about everything, like the child phases, especially the bear one. "OMG, my child is a furry! I need to drown them in the pool!" Calm down, it's a harmless phase that lasts a couple of days, just like the one where they blast the stereo. I personally think the bear phase is hilarious, not unlike a little kid who says they want to be a dog when they grow up. One of the most fun playthroughs I did was with a single male in the Scientist career. Poor guy never woohooed, but had 6 alien children from abduction and his clone. It was wild and chaotic. I'm so glad it's a single-player game. Everyone can play how they want. There is no right or wrong way to play. Great video Satch. I appreciate your sense of humor and your authenticity.
I miss the burglars too!!! They were so much fun!
I LIVE for the bear thing. It feels so good and old-simsy. I didn't know it was a thing until it randomly popped up one day and it made my life.
Burglars?!?!? Put it back EA!! Lol, I just got into sims and I'm saving up money to get expansion packs so right now the base game it boring, having Burglars would give me some form of simulation aside from bombarding my pc with cc
I agree with you!
Yes. I agree. The Sims is too safe and sanitized. If the snowflakes on both sides & right down the middle don't like it they can piss off & not play. It needs to get back to its roots of wild and chaotic craziness.
To be fair, I've never seen a fandom for ANYTHING that wasn't toxic 😅 My room mate is in a group for flashlights. Literally, flashlights. And the comments these people make to each other on a FLASHLIGHT group is nuts. It's enough to make you completely lose faith in all humanity.
ofc anybody who joins a flashlight community is nuts lmao
@@SatchOnSims They're pretty nice flashlights, I'll admit, but I don't get it. My room mate has probably 50 flashlights. At least it's not meth, I guess.
@@piperbird7193 atleast you won't be screwed during a power outage even if one runs out of batteries lol
@@ChrissaTodd You're not wrong! 😂
@@piperbird7193 you had me rolling with the meth comment lol
My unpopular opinion: the sims is TOO childish. I can understand the decrease in age rating from the sims 2 to 3, but the sims 4? I just feel that all imersion is broken.
Absolutely agree, it’s supposed to be 13 and up but still it feels like they made almost g rating
haha I know, but with the right mods (not gonna mention them here) you can pretty much make the game go from 13 to18 + in just a few min. lol
@@JackTheSt_Ripper wicked whims I'm guessing 😅
I follow the sims 2 and sims 3 subreddits and they're so peaceful and fun. all people do is post memes on the townie lore, share funny things that happened in their game, share builds, etc but I choose not to follow the sims 4 one because I don't like that community much at all either.
The Sims 2 community is, was and will always be a vibe
Oh god yes. I follow a Sims forum that mostly posts Sims 4 stuff, and it is one of the most toxic things I’ve seen. When my Wedding Stories came out people for weeks where calling for a complete boycott of EA and the game (understandable, but for weeks. No other posts got through) and that the Sims 4 was the worst game ever and only people who are absolutely simple enjoy it. It got so toxic to a point where I considered just quitting the Sims and never coming back to it because the Sims 4 is the only game I play, and I do enjoy it. So it kinda hurt being constantly told that a game I enjoyed was garbage(i understand its not great, but eh). Eventually at the end people started saying “shut up and just enjoy the game and move on, stop being toxic” which just made everything worse. But by then I left, wasn’t worth it even to see funny builds.
@@rriotghoul I think a lot of it is an extension of the problems that come from EA being a money grubbing company and lack of fixing bugs that make the game not fun to play. But I also think that EA from the beginning kind of screwed the Sims 4 game by not letting there be as much content from the beginning as the other sims games.
I used to just have the base game. It was fine. I'd say comparable to the sims 2 besides lack of traits to make sims unique and lack of worlds. But I also have never plays sims 2 just base game. So I gave sims 4 a fair shake. Is it perfect? No. But I enjoy it more than sims 3 which I have been trying to play again. And the sims gurus are at least trying. Which is more than can be said for the complainers.
At least the complaining youtubers are often game changers. World crafters. Involved in the solution of adding content.
This is what I miss about the Sims community. The entire choas a d jokes.
@@SatchOnSims the base of the game is so horribly coded we should honestly be pissed but we were all just in awe of this simulation style game at the time 😂 and we still are thats why its such a peaceful community.
You’re realistic, you’re honest, and I agree with a lot of your viewpoints on the community / society in general. The internet is insanity. Bravo to you for being brave and honest. Love you & your content Satch!
Omg also; 3 game modes; genius. Too much stuff & getting overwhelmed; EVERY SINGLE TIME!
You have quickly become one of my favorite Sims content creators. You’re a realist, Satch, and I respect that. My other favorite channel is Pixelade and the two of you are very real to tell like it is: positive and negative. That’s why I watch you both. Also, you’re both hysterical as hell and it brightens my day. Thank you for all you do, Satch.
Just discovered this Sims channel and agree with most of the points. And even the ones I didn't necessarily agree with, I'm not going to sit here and argue about it
I feel like my most unpopular opinion is that I don’t care that babies are objects. 😂 In my experience with my siblings and cousins, babies don’t do a whole lot until they’re practically toddlers. So Sim babies just hanging out in their cribs all day doesn’t really bother me 😅
“I hate the Sims 4, it’s a massive cash grab”
My brother in Christ you bought My First Pet stuff to fill out the start menu

Sims 4 has the most items yes, but it is lacking in UNIQUE items. That is why the gameplay is lacking. We don't need 500 dining chairs, we just need 100 different items that are giving different gameplay and experience.
I do think Sims community is toxic, they judge and exclude people who are different at the same breath they are promoting diversity. Yes, someone might be saying things that you might disagree. Discuss nicely people, not bash or attack. Some people also just jump into conclusions about some people just because they said ONE statement they don't agree with.
I agree. An example is the Cats & Dogs pack. It includes like three litterboxes; one that's normal, one with a roof over it, a dangerous automatic one, and a not dangerous automatic one. That's it. There's no reason to have more litterboxes.
I don't think it's that toxic really, it's more a loud minority. As someone who is a gamer and a big fan of anime, trust me. You'll know toxic when you see is. The Sims community is literally HEAVEN compared to the anime community.
To those playing The Sims 4 in the privacy of your home: make your Sims look however the hell you want. You paid your $, this is your game, your fantasy. Don't let anyone shame you into playing with ugly Sims if you don't want to.
Preach.
Thissss
I think my favorite thing about The Sims is that it's a single player game. I can play my game the way I want and not even have to think about the way other people play their games. I really like sharing in other small Sims communities that aren't stressful, it's like having friends with similar interests. And that I can also click off of CZcams and go back to my own little Sims world alone 😅
I think my most unpopular opinion is that the reason why sims 4 lacks so much depth and autonomy is cause of the sims community themselves. Whenever they add something that can randomly occur (like a vampire house invasion) or autonomous behaviour people get so mad. They start complaining how these things are not part of their storylines, like why did my sim do X it doesn’t go with my storyline. It’s so popular for simmers to want to micromanage things so that everything goes in line with a thought out storyline that the sims team can’t add any drama through random events and autonomous behaviours without backlash. Hence, its not even worth for the sims team to try and add depth to be fair, especially since that’s not what the loudest players want. Then they have the audacity to complain about lack of depth and random drama like they weren’t the same people who complained so much about vampire visits and neighborhood action plans (AKA RANDOM DRAMA).
Yall need to take a look in the mirror. Yall complain about lack of depth then complain when it’s added cause it prevents your micromanagy gamestyle.
I completely agree. As someone who is just an outsider on these arguments, I’ve noticed that too.
i agree. EA are bad, but if you want more drama, then surely Vlad creeping into your house and sucking your sim's blood is part of that. That happened to me for the first time in quite a while after buying the Vampires pack and I found it quite amusing and fun.
@@inksmears_ Also they don't seem to realise that randomly adding height sliders now would mess with the game most likely. It'd best to add it in the Sims 5, but even then it'd be hard. Have something like teenagers being smaller than adults but taller than children and maybe make adutls a bit taller than they are now. Also, if EA did focus on this, then it's possible we might miss out on other features and these people would get mad. I hate EA, but to be fair for once, you can't do literally everything at once.
The Sims 3 is many things (unoptimized, outdated graphics, heavy, cash-grabby), but *shallow* is not one of them. Every system in the game has a lot of depth. It is true that some things like vampires are more in-depth in The Sims 4 because they got an entire pack for that one occult (vs being a side feature in Late Night and having to share the pack with 4 other occults in Supernatural), but everything is more complex in The Sims 3 overall.
The graphics of The Sims 3 are awesome, and probably the best part is everything you see is accessible. Backgrounds are actual locations Sims can visit, not just set dressing.
@@thesimslover82884 I love the way the world looks, but the Sims look really bad without CC. The lighting system is pretty bad too, even when compared to The Sims 2.
Sims 4 is a lot more cash grabby tho
yeah that is the only thing i disagreed with hurt my heart a little but as long as you love it doesn't matter what others think as said😄
Yeah that was a weird opinion. I don't think he's played the sims 3 in dept beyond making videos for channel. Because it's extremely in depth, even things like the rabbit holes are in depth. They provide SO MUCH game play. Like you can have your sim tour them, take pictures in them that you can hang up, you can woohoo in them and try for baby. Then they have weekly events and things you can do. For example if you have a dog there are opportunities that come up where you can take your dog to a competition at the rabbit holes. But in order to do this you actually have to train your dog to do the tricks and it takes a while to teach them all the tricks.
we need more male representation in the sims. the sims isn’t just a female game, it’s a game for everyone to love and experience life. as a male simmer myself, i 100% agree with you wholeheartedly. people always mock them, and I see so many tweets where people don’t like to play with male sims. well hon, maybe that’s bc you don’t try. i luv your outlook, and i thoroughly enjoyed this video. keep up the great work Satch! :D
edit: WTF OMG HOW DID I GET THIS MANY LIKES, YALL ARE SO AMAZING TYSM 😭
male sims are just iconic
I'm a female simmer and not even a creator and I just prefer to play with female sims because of all of the make up, hair, fashion etc. I don't really know what to do with my male sims LOL But we do need more male simmers
Yeah, I don't understand, I admit I started my save file with a female sim, probably because I'm female myself, but then they got a family, 3 boys, (they had 2 girls later on as well but those weren't planned lol) and now I play all my sims, brothers, sisters, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, it doesn't really matter... At times I even prefer to play my male sims, it's a simulation game, it's the perfect opportunity to simulate experiences you will never have in real life...
100%. I love how female forward it is, but as a trans masc dude it’s a lil rough lmao. Just want some cooler hair and an actual suit that looks fire without getting cc.
Right get my men some better clothes and hair 💀 Also I don’t really have a preference for what gender sim to play I usually make my ocs who are of all different genders
I avoid most of the fandom toxicity by simply avoiding Twitter. Twitter is trash.
Meanwhile im spending hours upon hours perfecting my male sims faces 🤣 and drooling over how Hot they look. I had no idea People didnt like male sims.. News To me. But ye agree there is not enough cc for male sims
I do the same thing with my favorite guys! Always making sure they are gorgeous 😍
@@kristincottrill8378 yup.. i dunno how many times ive used cas.fulleditmode cheat when i had to tweak something cause sometimes their facial experssion make things look odd..
Same this is how I deal with being single lmao
Same. I play with a lot of male sims.
Some Simmers trully do hate male Sims and I don't know why (beside having yourself limited in clothing options). I start most of my saves with a male (or non binary) Sims as a little protest to that. I remember seeing a comment under one of Clare Siobhan's videos, when she was deciding if her pink NSB heir will be male or female, where the person wrote something like "if you choose Coral (the male Sim), I'm unsubsribing." I still don't want to believe that comment was real and that it had a bit over 200 likes.
I really appreciate this video. Part of the reason why I love your channel is because I feel safe here. I know that when I click on your channel, I will get honest, straightforward, entertaining and drama free content. Its so refreshing!
I appreciate that!
The only thing I disagree with was the sims 3, but that's fine its your opinion and I respect that not everyone will like what I like.
the other day, during the livestream they showed how, if you link the werewolf form and the human form you'll get the same features and they made an example embiggeining the nose of the sim so that it would show up in the werewolf and said (paraphrasing) "if you give your sim this crazy big nose, you'll see it in werewolf form too" and people on twitter were like "UM ACTUALLY THAT'S ANTISEMITIC" and i'm like: ok tell me, TELL ME when they mentioned Jews in this whole entire discussion. Tell me please why a throwaway comment on a sim's nose is so worth this drama.
Also, the other day i saw a video about the pronoun update that claimed that The Sims is structurally transphobic because, even though we have gender customization option, even though you can wear any item of clothing regardless of gender, even though we have customizable pronouns, apparently TS4 is transphobic because the clothes look weird on the body structure that's not the one it was designed for. This person needs to play The Sims 1, i beg them to play The Sims 1.
I am not transphobic, i am gay and i support our community's rights, i support any minority, i don't like to be called X-phobic because i think some of these dramas and callouts are unnecessary and frankly very annoying.
I remember reading about the nose thingy and I got really confused over it.
I've got a nose like that from my heritage and I never once flagged that as even SLIGHTLY offensive. I was a bit shocked at the response to that offhanded comment. I agree. Maybe they were offended, but it doesn't seem like majority was. (Edit) People like to read between the lines way too much it seems.
@@ARK4Z I am not Jewish so i never commented but they never said the character was Jewish so I was so confused I wish the sim guru said that instead of apologizing cause he knows he wasn't even bringing up Jewish people.
Also, during that part of the livestream they were rushing & talking fast cause they only have like 5 minutes left. it definitely wasn’t a purposeful word or meant to harm anyone.
@@ARK4Z aka twitter people who spend far too much time on that platform
The Sims community was very nice and peaceful until about 2013ish. No one argued about gender, offensive things, hair styles, ethnics, or inclusivity. It was nice. It's a game.. it's not a moral soapbox extender service. Twitter is nothing but a toxic swamp, and should be avoided at all costs.
And yes... Ignoring negativity is best. Love your videos, sorry people comment rude things on your channel.
Wdym. The sims community was very peaceful in 2013-2015 as well.
I think it's the same now as it was then. People still argued about those things as well, things were just more civil back then. Twitter isn't really a good example either, especially because the worst people get the most attention.
But toxic postivity also isn't solutuin. Sometimes you need constructive criticism and a slap on the face.
OH MY GOD. The sims community is 100% biased against men. This is so tiring and I'm SO glad somebody finally talked about this. I am a primarily a male occult player, ALL my sims are guys (as well as my characters outside of sims) and I always get ticked off when somebody says "I hate male sims, they're so hard to make!" No, they're not, you just don't even try. I get that for most of the players, female sims are more fun to make, the same way I have waaayy more fun with male sims, but goddman, the toxicity against male people in the sims community in general is so gross. I have seen hundreds of posts of people saying the despise when their sims have a male baby, not to mention de CC creators. If I had a penny for everytime I needed a specific piece of cc and ONLY found it for female I could probably buy a car. Most of the times I end up having to change the cc in the Sims 4 Studio to also fit for men, because a lot of the creators lock them for the opposite gender, even if it's an item that's supposed to be gender neutral. God bless male cc creators, they're doing God's work. This is a long rant but I needed to get this off my chest, and I pretty much agree with every other point in the video. The sims community is absolutely garbage. Thank you for being so open about all this, your content is extremely refreshing. The only other simmer that I enjoyed and did the same as you was PleasantSims but she unfortunately got canceled for literally nothing. Just goes to pile up how shitty this community is.
I love male sims but I don't have a natural understanding for male outfits so I have SUCH a hard time finding male CC. Because not only do I not know what to look for, because I don't know male styles, but there's always been a "Why is there so little male CC" -proceeds to have no CC- bias.I've been playing Sims 4 more and I've had to not only download a lot of CC but also have to disable the feminine tag sometimes just to be able to dress my guys.
No. That hair is not only feminine even though you said unisex just because you don't like how it clips with a masculine frame CC creator... - happy to have someone who also feels my pain-.
I'm so happy finally talked about this, the first part of your argument the whole "bias against men" thing is a larger issue within itself, I'm sorry that you need to go out on a manhunt to find something that shouldn't be gender locked. If you don't mind me asking, can you name some of the male CC creators you know of?
for real. first male sims get much less cas items from ea themselves and then it takes years to find male cc
YOU ARE SO FUCKING CORRECT. as a male sims player IT TRIGGERS ME TO THE LITERAL CORE that male sims are so underrepresented in the community. people always bash on them for no reason, when they have just as great potential as females sims, just as great CC as well. it makes me so sad when people disregard them like that, and the memes can be tiring snd annoying. some may call sensitive, but I am just speaking the truth.
@@anonymouslol7010 I think the worst part about it is the sims team *does* have an opportunity to do unisex outfits and just be as creative as they want with male sims and... They *also* just don't. What is the point of masculine CC if you hardly make any, so even putting female sims in masculine clothing is hard, but also separate categories when I have to remove those tags anyways. The masculine and feminine tags can sometimes be worse than useless depending on the vibe I'm going for.
Everytime i play a new save i tell myself i won't use cheats but then i find myself cheating my sims needs and it ruins everything i need to be controlled 🤧
LOL I think we all play like that xD
@@SatchOnSims 😅
I play like this too, mainly because I was bored of always having 9.999.999 simoleons available and having the needs decay disabled (I know, boring). Also because I am challenging myself to complete some aspirations and have the reward traits without cheats, but the thing is that the game itself is so bugged that it is almost impossible not to cheat at least once.
For instance, I had the Forever Full trait (that I had obtain legally) and it was working fine, but at some point, my sim started to be hungry again EVEN THOUGH SHE STILL HAD THAT TRAIT.
The solution? Had the trait removed with cheats and add it again (I know there is a potion that removes all the sim traits, but that is NOT what I wanted).
That was a bit frustrating because that, at least for me, proves that it is impossible to play without cheats :(
I mostly use needs cheats when I have one sim leave home for a few hours and come back home to everyone up in the middle of the night. So I deplete their energy needs to send them all to bed. 😂 I consider it fixing the game screwing up my timetable, lol. I also sometimes cheat toddlers into longer naps. I try not to cheat food and bathroom and let them cycle normally, but sometimes I give in.
I have only watched a few create a sim videos but I feel like they always make their female sims slim thicc which looks extremely unrealistic. They just look like instagram models.
And it looks so funny when every single sim in their household just has this body type and none of them is a little bit skinnier or more curvy.
True though
They do it a lot with men as well to be fair. Well, at least female simmers do. Male sims probably just make the female ones unrealistic lol. I'll admit, as a male simmer, I'm probably guilty of always making female sims very pretty, but i do also make them look at least somewhat realistic. Anyway, I was in a Facebook group and some woman made an unrealistic male sim and women were thirsting over him in the comments. Like, no, that's stupid. One, he's a sim, he doesn't exist. Two, that body is very unrealistic and your standards are ridiculous (I mean 'you' generally, not you in particular). At least I don't do that with female sims, show it to female simmers and imply they must live up to that. My sims are mostly vampires as well so how the fuck would they anyway lmao. Yeah your sim is pretty but it's not really great for people with low confidence who also hate their bodies when you make these weird, unrealistic looking sims and imply it's sexy. Not good for me as a man who has struggled with that stuff and I'll probably just stop looking at those.
Note I don't give a fuck what your sims look like, before anyone gets mad. I'm saying that creating unrealistic looking sims, setting stupid standards and implying people in real life should follow them is harmful. Yes, it's just a game, the problem is they're using a nice, innocent game to spread a harmful message.
There is a fine line between good morals/open minded and being chronically online 💀 as someone who falls under the non binary gender umbrella, I found the sul/sul pronouns meme hilarious
Agreed. People always like to mess around with different CAS/other features, ofc people will make jokes with the pronouns feature too. It's not always that deep.
There is no other opinion. Anyone insulted by HELLO being written in a field intended for anything else is a waste of oxygen.
TS2 and TS3 did indeed have a gender attraction system built in, but you couldn't directly manipulate it; you had to direct your sims to have romantic interactions with the gender you wanted them to prefer. In practice, you had to have a lot of interactions towards one gender in order to establish a preference for your sims. Supposedly the system was made more strong in the expansions of TS2, but in practice, all of them still tended to be pan/bisexual.
It's very strange that these wholesome type games attract such abhorrent creatures. The drama around animal crossing and the whole 'space buns' debacle was enough to make me swear off twitter and never interact with the AC fanbase. It's honestly like the black mirror episode where they're all so nice, but the second you say something out of line, they instantly turn on you and become the most vile humans imaginable. You cannot interrupt their cult of perfection, sort of like waking up a sleep walker; just let them sleepwalk
Okay, I liked your content before. I’ve never met such a sane simmer. You explained your unbiased opinion beautifully and didn’t attack anyone for their views.
"The sims gaming community is one of the most toxic gaming communities out there"
As both a simmer and a League of legends player I do feel like both communities can be super toxic but from the exact opposite sides of the spectrum.
LoL players in general are known as frustrated edgelords, they will curse you out, they're often extremely sexist, racist and homophobic, they'll basically shit on you for existing.
Simmers in general are all over twitter nowadays and from what I've seen people can take sensitivities to a whole other level, I myself am pro-LGBT and do think it's good we're adjusting our games to be more inclusive in terms of disabilities and cultural differences.. But the thing that comes with a gaming community that caters so heavily towards inclusivity is that it'll just never be good enough, there will always be things to be upset over and some really do take that to the extreme.
In the end though I think most of us are really somewhere inbetween, neither an edgelord nor overly sensitive, it's just that those extremes get the most attention and are often taken as representative of the entire community, I think it goes without saying that it doesn't represent the majority of us.
I agree but as a gamer and anime fan, the Sims community is like heaven compared to most gaming communities and the anime community. I'd rather a simmer calls another simmer a douchebag on Twitter and barely gets any attention that influential people in the anime community who legit try to justify pedophilia and spread fascist propaganda. Sims community has its issues, but it's probably one of the least toxic game communities.
Oh Satch, this video is IT. You’ve all my thoughts lol. It’s like I telepathically shifted my thoughts to you. I appreciate this level of honesty and it truly shows that you’re authentic and you are just YOU. Not your subscribers ideas and opinions, you keep it 100 you. This is why I keep recommending you as someone to sub to.
I'm so glad!
I love playing with male sims, and I cannot express how frustrating it is to find a suitable male hairstyle. There just isn't enough diverse cc or actual content that satisfies my wants for my male sims.
that really surprises me to find out the sims community doesn't like playing with male sims. Almost all the sims i play are male i seldom play with females and never as my main sim.
Call me Kevin's lets play with Jim Pickens is my main lp jam.
i assumed everyone would play with the males because how else can you get abducted by aliens and have a beautiful alien baby...?
This video was eye opening. Thank you Satch.
I also play with more male sims than female sims. Why? Idk. Just do. ((But I also build more than I use the gameplay though...))
Me too. Honestly, in Sims 3 I thought my guys turned out better looking than the women. But the first Sims I ever made in 2, 3, and 4 were men. For me the greatest appeal of the Sims is getting to play something and someone not you. 😊 And I loved playing a handsome charmer.
I am new to Satch's channel but I'm glad you brought up CallMeKevin as it shows that male sims playthroughs can also be fun too.
Im so happy I found you 😭😭 I agree with a LOT of your viewpoints
Edit: Yes! Sims 2 had sexuality and the most complex and complete attraction system! The whole veronaville was kinda gay as an easter egg of Shakespeare ambiguous sexuality
Oh wow 😮
Agree about the link between alpha cc and beauty standards. I don't really like that some skin overlays make your female sim's chest have more of a contour therefore making them appear larger, or how some appear to slim down the nose from the front.
Well said! I stay away from social media, I just enjoy the game and select YT content and steer clear of the drama. Thank you for speaking up!
I honestly really like the sexuality feature you were talking about, I think it would feel more realistic that way and honestly give sims deeper personalities.
In regards to the "sims should not be pansexual" statement. I like playing wants based gameplay, unless I REALLY want a sims to be straight or not, I want the sim to decide for themselves. So I am not a fan of the sims 4's option to choose your sims' sexuality because I feel that takes the individuality and uniqueness out of the sims. But to each their own. This was a great video :)
I'm straight so my sims usually are, but I honestly just go with it if they show interest in someone of the same sex unless I want them to have biological children. Sims are by definition pansexual anyway, they'll be attracted to literally anyone.
i totally agree with this! i let my sims pick who they like unless i really really want to make a cheaty vineyard vines type guy to do the serial romantic or villainous valentine aspirations LOL
Meh, when I make them in CAS I am happy to make a choice because even with open ended sexuality, most sims will end up straight not because it’s realistic so much as default - and sims are crazy breeders when you let loose the reins (I have carefully culled mu neighborhood stories for this reason). So when I am establishing an adults and a town, I intentionally mix it up. Also, if I am gonna make my own family in CAS, I am queer so my ideal family would be two women and a kid or two. That being said, once I get to Sims born in game I usually let the events of that Sims life guide me. Mostly because they will actually have a whole life to shape them. It’s always player choice to some extent, they are pixels and programming not real people so a true mix up to get the percentages I want takes some nudging.
I agree with a lot of the points you made , other than the sims 3 being the worst sims game, in fact, i'd go as far and say it's by far the best sims game and the gameplay is far far more in depth than in the sims 4 by a huge margin
This guy is trying too hard at being 'edgy' by giving his unpopular opinions for the sake of standing out from the rest of the sims community and the majority of sims players . I don't buy it.
Anyone who's played the sims 3 knows shallow isn't something that describes that game in the slightest
@@MrAddik If Sims 3 had the Memories system of The Sims 2 and not the crappy scrapbook, Sims 3 would be perfect.
What I would like is for Sims to have a randomized sexual orientation as a readonly trait that can be changed only when making a Sim in CAS or using cheats, and maybe include some kind of in-game object that can change your sim's personality that is also able to change things like sexual orientation, which hand is dominant, etc.
i agree 100% with the lack of male representation !! the amount of times i have wanted to make one of my male OCs and not been able to due to the complete lack of items and options for them is OBNOXIOUS
I totally agree. This community is one of the most toxic ones I've willingly interacted with (excluding TikTok because it deserves a separate category), right after natural hair community and (exotic) animals owners. Seems like most people here are angry all the time and are purposefully looking for something to argue about
I think comparing sims 4 alpha cc to second life or imvu isnt all that fair
The sims is a life simulator game, and the people who play the sims 4 with alpha cc specifically want that life simulator game play but with a more "realistic" look to it
whereas imvu and second life a just chatroom/roleplay games with a character creator
The game play of the two are pretty different, but if we're also talking just playing the games for JUST the character creator I still think the people who use the sims4 for alpha cc is completely valid because buying things in imvu/second life costs alot of irl money whereas alot of alpha cc is just free
But thats just my opinion ^^;
Agreed the hate on alpha cc is very annoying and i feel like maxis match players have a superiority complex when it comes to that debate
Incentive: I know that on console if you start a new save file cheats are not activated, and if you activate them then you cannot unlock any achievements at all on that save file
As someone who went from Xbox 360 to PC this rlly shocked me. But I’m an completionism and there are A Lot of achievements.
I loved this video, because its very basic and people often forget about that. On the side note, it woulld be greats if you could "buy" CAS as a Sim. Like, say you like x top on a sim, okay it costs your sim about 20 simoleons. That way they have a reason to have a job and create their on style. I think that would give the game more realism without having it crush in any computer
That is a feature in Sims 2 and I love it. Both going shopping (for clothes or groceries) and building shops! I agree, it adds so much realism to the game. We went from literally going shopping, to rabbit holes in Sims 3 (that was still fun. I liked how the shops looked from the outside) to buying stuff on a computer in Sims 4. I find it silly that in Sims 4 you don't even have to wait for a delivery, things just appear immediately in your inventory.
@@sla-un6ug i didn´t know that! The more i hear about the sims 2, the more i kinda wanna play it since back in the day i played de the sims 2 ps2 and good God that was a great game. Very unaesthetically pleasing, but the gameplay... child me was obssesed
What you saying is true and goes beyond the sims community
My unpopular opinion: the storyline in My Wedding Stories trailer is cringe and absolutely unrealistic
Incredibly good message Satch!
I enjoyed hearing your opinions, and actually found myself agreeing with many of them
I really love males in the sims and I play with them constantly. I really don’t understand the hate on them so i’m really glad someone said something about it.
This is first time Ive seen someone say sims 3 is more shallow than the sims 4. LOL. Im currently playing the sims 4 and it's so shallow I can't play it without mods. All the sims 4 animals packs combined and still more shallow than Sims 3 pets.
I never needed gameplay mods for sims 3.
Moving beyond the Sims community, your viewpoints and way of just living are inspiring. Thank you for sharing such wisdom and maturity. Being personally responsible for your own opinions, actions, beliefs and disregarding the negativity of others coupled with trying to bring positivity into the Sims community and life in general is a maturity that's truly absent these days. Thank you not just for your Sims vids (I'm a player from the very beginning and adore your content) but also just for being you. :) Also, I agree with wanting a challenge.
I do agree with a couple of these actually!
Regarding the cheats being too easily available, I agree there should be some kind of god-mode and regular mode. Like in Minecraft, for example, when creating a new world you can choose whether or not you want cheats, and then it's impossible to change for that world in particular. I think we should be able to choose that when creating a new save file in the Sims 4, just like we can choose which season to start off in (if u have seasons ofc).
And the fact that Alpha CC people should find another game with more... alpha cc-like aesthetic should be quoted in the history books.
I agree with you. We all have own opinions. If we all have the same opinions then we’re all robots. I left the sims community on twitter a long time ago because of the toxicity. If I do look at the sims stuff I limit to what I want to see. Like the facts rather than opinions. Because an opinion is an opinion
I miss the mystery!!! I always played the sims 2 and there were so many little easter eggs or little mysterious messages and they made the aliens so interesting too because simply they didn't reveal everything about them. Same with ghosts. They just appeared randomly there was no "release spirit xyz". It just felt like there were so many things to explore, to think about.
I absolutely agree, you’re on point! Its the most toxic community and the people are worse than boris lovers to be honest. What I hate the most tho, I’m Scottish and we say “hen” a term of endearment and the American sims community think us Scottish stole it from plumbella when we haven’t… They basically bullied half of us for it. I deleted myself from all the groups on Facebook and stopped following simmers on Twitter.
For the god mode, I think its good for builders/ specific scenarios
The worst gaming community is League of Legends - its an whole other level of toxicity o_o
I've never played but I've heard it's bad too haha
I was ready to leave this community, it’s so woke, sensitive and so offended, it’s really tiring, imagine leaving life feeling you are stepping on egg shells? but then I found you, thank you for being honest.
Yes, it's very past tense of wake up. I prefer communities that are slept, but hey, at least this one isn't walked.
It just sounds exhausting. I'm sorry you have to deal with that crap. Your videos bring joy and fun. I always have a chuckle or a laugh and my day is brighter as a result.
I'm a girl who likes to play mostly male characters and a lot of the time i wish there were more casual clothing options for men 😳 even more hair styles that would be great
This is such a normal attitude towards life in general (not just the Sims) that you have restored my faith in humanity!
The algorithm lead me to you-and I’m here for it!
I freaking love the vibe of sharing without taking away from others!
Thank you for being brave enough to stand behind your opinions and fearlessly stating what we all should know… it’s okay not to agree!!! I stay away from many social media platforms because the toxicity.
💚💚 New subscribe because of this!! Keep it up.
We also don't have things like NPC cops or robbers because people complained that, they are too triggering.
They/them being used incorrectly (ex: They is working their butt off) is probably something to do with being tricky to code correctly in a pre existing game. In a game released with pronouns for characters/players it’s probably easier, but Sims 4 just wasn’t released with custom pronouns from day 1. I’m not saying impossible, I’m saying tricky. You can be a gaming company and not know how to code specific things, just look at Riot Games. They can’t program a not painfully buggy client
How can you tell anyone not to play a game and move on to another just because they like a more realistic look? No simulation out there has feautures that the sims franchise does. If you hate invalidating peoples feelings so much, try not telling people to stop playing a game they love. I have to say I understand why you made this video but I lost a lot of respect for you because you keep saying you criticize the game in general but some points you made are deliberately focused on individual groups of people and play styles. Its a simulation game, play as you like and stop commenting on how others should play it. If you are going to complain about people being mean, try not to make videos that add to the mean comments.
i feel EXACTLY the same way, there was no reason to come for alpha cc simmers like that just because he personally doesn't like the look of it. and as if maxis match cc doesn't also push the same standards? not even to mention that a large portion of simmers that use alpha cc are black simmers, which isn't a coincidence-- the amount of black/urban maxis match cc has increased in the last couple years, but still pales in comparison to alpha cc. pushing away alpha simmers because they play with an aesthetic you don't like pushes away a majority of black simmers as well.
If someone is being mean to you for no reason like homophobia or racism, just ignore and know you're amazing and they're just nobody who have nothing to do with their life 💖💖
I *CANNOT* believe you hate The Sims 3! What's wrong with you?
Thanks for the video, people rarely ever talk about the toxicity of t eh community
Found your channel last year and genuinely appreciate your honesty about the game/community.
I only play the Sims 2 but I recently discovered your channel. You are such a breath of fresh air! Never stop being you!
I would love it if they had three different modes for Sims! Sandbox, storyline, & challenges. Make the game infinitely more replayable. I like that they introduced. scenarios but I wish they were more challenging and more in depth.
I love your videos and your commentary, keep it coming!!! ❤️🔥
i seriously love this video and this channel 💞💞💞💞 being brutally honest in the sims is so rare, he nailed it!!!!
Considering all fandoms I had contact with, I would rate sims's toxicity lvl at low. At twitter everything is on garbage fire, outside I havn't seen much s-storm.
I love Sims 3 🥹😂 there is honestly so many things I still haven't done because there's just too much!
The perfect Sims game would be the nuances (genetics etc) and lore of 2, the variety of skills and activities from 3, character creation and modernization of Sims 4.
And add in limited time items that have to be UNLOCKED through actually achieving things that are on a time limit. Like a cool TV or bed if you do XYZ by this time.
I was on roblox and talking about prnouns and some guy say "oh so my prnouns can be awesome/person?" as a funny joke and i was like yeah sure lolol and the whole server got SO MAD for no reason but this was at the height of the whole thing in quarantine but rlly sims players get so mad when any1 says anything i have limits but calling everything transphobic doesnt mean anything
I have never thought about different gameplay modes in the Sims 4 but now that you talked about that you would like that I actually think it's a very good idea.
I personally really enjoy your videos… I’m in quarantine right now and playing the Sims and I like to have your videos playing in the background. I think that you’re really funny and genuinely laugh at your commentary. Not everyone is going to appreciate what you’re doing, but you can’t please everyone and that is what it is
I don't understand, more ethnic hairstyles is more content. Who has a problem with more content?
Thank you so much for this video. You come across as a very down-to-earth and sensible person. That's something I don't see very often in the community. Bravo! 👍
I love these kinds of videos. I swear you're my favorite simfluencer lol you dont kiss EA's butt, you always speak your truth and I genuinely respect that.
Exactly! People start drama because of someone's opinion about a small issue.
I remember that , i decided to search for my username on TikTok, i mean who hasn't done that? Then a random video popped up. It was someone talking sh*t about me , because I did NOT give them my account🤦♀But obviously I didn't start a whole drama on TikTok. That would've been pretty stupid. It bothers me how a lot of people in the sims community don't realize that every individual has a different opinion, like you said.
Here's an example : I found a pen on my way to school, picked it up and brought it home.
Some people would see me as a thief, others would do the same.
not even 2 minutes in and i was already bursting out of laughter LMFAO i'm def following you
Agreed. So badly agreed that it hurts, I feel like a sane person again hearing some of your thoughts😂
When the pronoun update came out, I voiced two concerns. 1, I was wondering how this would impact modded moodlets that use he/her variants, which I think is a fair concern to have. 2, however, got me FLAMED. I was dubbed a biggot and a transphobe that hated trans people and wanted them to suffer and feel unrepresented. So what was my concern that was so awful? I was worried male sims wouldn't default to he/him and female sims wouldn't default to she/her and I'd have to constantly manually change it. That's it. I didn't care if the update was getting released if I could choose to not engage with in-game. I wasn't calling for its removal. I wasn't saying it's awful and going to trans the kids or whatever. I just didn't want to deal with it since that's not what I play in my games... And I got yeeted out of this world for that😂 I hope more people take several seats and a couple of chill pills and relax already
I really appreciate this video. As much as I love The Sims I left the fandom months ago. It was starting to affect my fun of the game which I didn't want. For a game as open as The Sims people really love to push their own ideas and if you disagree OH BOI. People really should stop for a moment and realise that just because you dislike something doesn't mean it's offensive. Not everything has to be offensive, you can just dislike something and move on! I've literally had people call me problematic for allowing some of my male Sims to get pregnant in same sex relationships when... Trans people exist? The amount of stuff I've heard is just absolutely beyond me.
Maybe if the game were more stimulating they wouldn't spend so much time on Twitter and just play it instead :p
Thank you so much for sharing a different perspective! Sharing a lot of love and support!
I appreciate your thoughts on posting online. I’ve heard someone say about culture today, “Everything is permissible but nothing is forgivable,” and the internet plays such a huge part of that.
Ik this is an old video, but what you said perfectly sums up my feelings towards this whole debate around the sims community being toxic. I never understood it, and probably never will. This is the video where you officially became my favorite youtuber that covers the sims games. There’s a reason why i like your content more than others. You’re naturally funny, and i feel like you can be very relatable to me personally. With the style of humor etc…
New sub here. I got to say It’s been a while since a CZcams-recommended video led me to some actual good content. As someone who has played most of the Sim franchise, I 100% agree with everything you said here regarding the games. However, regarding the community, in my opinion, toxicity seems to be sprinkled everywhere nowadays, so, unfortunately, that's unavoidable at this point.
I'm nb and you are genuinely my favourite sims youtuber and and one of my favourite youtubers, hope you have a really nice day. Thanks for the awesome content! 💚
Thank you so much!
@@SatchOnSims You are super welcome! 😁
Preach bae! This is why I never use social media, it’s so negative and petty and I can’t deal so I just left and deleted everything. Life’s too short for negativity and regrets!
I love how genuine you are! It's so refreshing and I agree on pretty much everything you said ❤️
My thing about alpha CC is not only does it look better but the point of playing The Sims with it is that you can make someone that isn't you, that you would find attractive or just how you view YOUR world. Playing Second Life or IMVU wouldn't give you the options you can get playing TS like the building options and the bit of gameplay we do have. You can't find that in other games that is why TS has no competition yet. Besides IMVU sucks and hasn't been the same since the early 2000s.
THANK YOU. tHIS NEEDS TO BE A PSA FOR TWITTER IN GENERAL
i think everyone should be represented in the sims , i dont think its taking away from gameplay . this game was always gonna be bad , from the start so i dont agree with you on that thing but i still enjoy your videos so theres no need to never look at your videos again just because we disagree on something . i think the sims influencers were right to complain about the skin color issues
Absolutely spot on my friend! Mic drop! Applaud your honesty and I genuinely respect your perspective. Love, love this 100%!
I do agree with the challenge part. I very rarely use cheats, the only one I really use is sometimes MOO, if I want to put a tv on a fireplace or something like that. I love the challenge of starting with 0 dollars and building up. The problem is, that challenge only lasts a very short time, because you get money SO easy so fast in the game, and then I get bored. So I end up doing dumb things like, I can only get money from selling cupcakes on the flea market table. I don't use mods or CC.
that is actually fun I do rags to riches pulling my mods folder out just to see what can be done and like you will pick just one way to make money just to make it harder I even in one challenge did a rags to riches and wound up with a grand champion vampire in Sulani no mods or cheats used edit I was told it couldn't be done
@@bluecruzer1960 My favorite one I've done, I didn't allow my Sim to buy anything from BB mode if it could be crafted in some way instead. So she had to use public bathrooms until her handiness was high enough on the woodworking table to craft a bathtub and shower. All her food was home grown. All furniture possible was made on the woodworking table. Decorations were her own paintings or cross stitch. But she had to get llamas for the cross stitch and knitting, but then she got rugs and clothing as well. I did buy things like a fridge and stove because I had no way to craft those, but it was a very fun challenge to see how much stuff you can actually do on your own in the game.
@@piperbird7193 that sounds fun going to have to try that one myself
Do you watch lilsimsie? She does rags to riches challenges.
@@DrawciaGleam02 I do and that was what got me started doing them great recommendation too
The only thing I disagreed with is the build stuff (kinda) but you’ve made very good points with it and all other things mentioned. Amazing video! I subbed recently since it’s really strange how this channel and its viewers have similar views on things to me. Again, amazing video!
Second life and imvu are so glitchy and laggy and i dont like talking To strangers on those social Games.
I mainly create sims that are from other games like genshin impact with the power of alpha cc and live my dream life with my male harem😂
Yeah especially given kids use imvu and second life and I don't want to "date" cause people on that site tend to be too young and it feels weird.
Exactly,,IMVU has such a weird and really sexual + rude community and it’s NOTHING like the sims even if you prefer alpha cc-
Honestly, mate, I could listen to you for hours, if only your videos went that long 💝
You gave words to my options in a better way than I would ever be able to. Thank you. 🌸
