Which Sims 4 packs should I get? (Ultimate Guide 2024)

my daughter just asked “why do you watch him every day all day?” 😂

The thing about the Sims 4 is that you really have to use your imagination to make the game fun

When people point out that the trailers make the sims look more alive and the gameplay look expansive, it really does ring true

My toxic trait is buying sims packs I know are bad and watching every Satch video ripping them to shreds with great satisfaction.

More love to "Get To Work". I really think it's hated on for no reason. Not comparable to ambitions, for sure, but definitely one of the better expansions. Definitely worth it for 30% off.

what i’ve never understood is the sims creating education packs but not overhauling the base game’s existing system. how can you create a high school pack that locks it to one world, but not think to at least provide simmers rabbit hole private schools? or home schooling? daycare? military school? it makes no fkn sense.

My advice is don't get everything all at once. Get the dlc with the most house-lots first and then get anything you love. If you love nothing (I love vampires and mages so that was my first) but if you totally love nothing have no opinion get them in order of least broken first. WAIT FOR SALES. Buy one when you are in a mood need some reward for doing a job irl or pick-me-up from boredom/depression. Don't get everything at once! And it's to much money to buy it all only get the reviewed as works best.

19:14 This is where "Get to Work" is a NEEDED Sims 4 pack. You CAN run your own yoga studio (and maybe a nail spa too, haven't tried it yet) out of a retail lot. As long as you place one item (maybe incense) for sale, you will get customers coming in, and you can start a yoga class as an instructor, and the customers will flock to it! "Get to Work" has allowed me to play soo many fun stories!

THANK YOU for giving the love for Paranormal Stuff that it deserves. This pack is seriously one of the best packs in the entire game. It allowed me to live out my "What if i was in the Paranormal Activity movies?" fantasy. Being able to make Katie, Micah, Alex, Kristi, Ali, Jesse, Lois, Dennis, Julie and so much more and have them live in a haunted house is LITERALLY MY BIGGEST DREAM, especially when i can add myself with a "what if" scenario, and put myself in the action. It's so much fun, and i cannot recommend it enough.

I love how you always talk about how broken the base of the game is. It’s kinda sad knowing that the sims 4 will never be as good as the older games…

I will say I think it’s worth it to play base game with no packs for awhile to find your playstyle and it will help most shape what packs you prioritize when you hit that wall with basegame. Like my passage of time are my families growing and I like not having seasons because it meant my families could go outside more. Now that I have seasons it feels like it’s raining and gray all the time. That being said, if you want to play with Mods Get to Work, Get Together, and Seasons are very common for many mods. I personally LOVE living in Sulani. My favorite world. I played off-grid obsessively for awhile with just the Sulani stuff. I basically got eco lifestyle just to get the eco stuff and use it in Sulani. I will likely never live in Hawaii, but it would be my dream. Christmas on an island in neutral weather and no snow would be the best.

honestly i think spa day is a massively underrated pack! i use it a lot in my gameplay, it works really well with growing together as doing yoga helps with creative/mental burnouts

Get Famous + Paranormal pack does allow you to take the influencer track and sell your ghost oddities to collectors to make ghost hunting popular as your 'show'. I have my little drone follow my sims on jobs and that's been really fun for me as of late. I like the cross pack compatibility. Really helpful breakdown I had to share with a friend that just started. tyty for this

I think seasons should be included as part of the base game in sims 5. Technology has came a long way, and is standard in almost every game now

I swear I'm here mainly to hear Satch laugh... it's so addictive, I love it. Thanks ,Satch, for all your hard work - this video must have taken forever to get done. Much appreciate it!

As a long time sims 3 player I was considering getting sims 4 and now that I’ve watched this I will continue playing the sims 3. Thank you so much for saving me all the money. 😂

Taking a shot every time he says “implemented poorly / badly”

I can't believe you're gonna make me defend Island Living. 😂It's actually one of the few packs that has a good number of things to do. Aside from the mermaids being a lackluster disappointment, it's a beautiful world and the environment is great for sustainable living. You can fish in boats, use jet skis, swim pretty much everywhere, and the Marine Biologist career is actually really fun, although the Conservationist and Lifeguard careers can get repetitive. I'm not usually into beachy stuff, but Sulani is one of the most beautiful worlds in the game. You can also build seaside vacation homes or just live in a little hut off the grid. Vampires are also the superior occult imo. The powers are actually useful like super speed, influence, putting Sims into trances, and not to mention having immortality. Aside from the very small world, it's a well rounded Game Pack, but it really depends on whether you're an avid occult player.

I find it funny to watch these videos because all simmers have those few they agree on😂 My top is cottage living though, always will be.

OMG THANK YOU! I really needed this video so much! I’m buying the last few packs I don’t have yet and I’m trying to not waist my money but actually I think every pack I don’t already have is anonymous. Aaaand the fact you have no filter, which is a huge plus for me, makes everything better! Soooo thank you!! And all best wishes to you all guys, hope you’ll have a lot of The Sims!😊
