20 More Random Things I Hate About The Sims 4

i’m DYING that you said “number 4: wedding stories” and immediately moved to five 💀

Maybe they start you off in CAS bc they know it's one of the two good parts of the game. They know that if you're able to start immediately with gameplay, you'd be like "WTF is this?" They say, "hey create a sim bc it's a great system" and then they say, "hey build a house and see how great and easy we made building" and they hope that those two things will make you forget how bad gameplay is.

The "number 4: my wedding stories" is spot on

i dont understand why townies and teens who just aged up need to wear ALL accessories available to use like ALL face piercings, gloves, bracelets, and all rings. idc about their whacky outfits but their accessories make me actually seethe

I was surprised when they didn’t add slumber parties to high school years..it would have fit perfectly.

Townie outfits are seriously out of control lol, I've never seen one even look remotely semi okay.

I do believe the first thing you talked about is a remnant of when The Sims 4 was going to be an online game. Just think about it: the save would not be related to the world, but to your sim progression made online. Unfortunately though, this is one of the reasons why I feel The Sims 4 is way less a sandbox game than it should be.

1. as someone who plays TS4 primarily as a builder, this is so confusing and frustrating. Why do I need to make a Sim just to go build a house? And it has to be a new one every time, I can't even grab a random one I've already made. 3. not every fence has a matching gate, either, which drives me crazy. Or it will have a matching style gate, but not matching swatches. Or the fence will be tall but the matching gate is short.

I don't understand why apartments is STILL not a lot type so you can place apartments in any world. I would have liked to have rowhouses, townhouses or even a huge lot of individual trailers and made them into apartments to place in any world. Also, why can't we add lots to the worlds? There are some worlds where more lots could have been added. Sims 2 and Sims 3 had the ability where you could add lots of different sizes to worlds. We also can't change the terrain in the world or create a world from scratch. People always talk about how great building is in Sims 4, but I think it's overhyped because Sims 2 and Sims 3 had more building capabilities and less restrictions than Sims 4. Sims 4 finally got curved walls but there's STILL no spiral staircases to go with the curved walls. Lastly, why didn't they have the settings where you can have certain seasons in the game? We can have and remove certain weather conditions, shorten and lengthen days, so why not control the seasons? Maybe I wanted Sulani summer all year round or Mount Korembi either fall or winter all year. Those settings to control seasons could add additional gameplay.

Ugh, I hate the misc. items as well, ESPECIALLY in the decorative category. There’s so many things that could be categorized as “clutter” or “statues”, and some debug items like the wall-mounted fish are there, when obviously they should be in wall hangings. I’d love to get hired for Sims 4 just for the sole purpose of re-organizing their build/buy catalogue.

I was finally able to start playing sims 3 again.. and so many points the sims 4 team made a huge deal about.. you could already do in sims 3. So now I’m like wow wtf what a joke. Honestly, sims 4 has been such a failure to me. This game should’ve been scrapped and re-made. But modders show every day how great the game could be and don’t use the excuse of “oh it was supposed to be an online game that’s why it’s so vanilla” … EA has single handedly set this game on fire for modders and custom content creators to put out that fire for them. I’m so glad I don’t waste my money on this BS anymore.

Yeah they definitely drop the ball with the world's. They could've at least had done a sims 3 and used some of those shell buildings for rabbit hole lots. Like a rabbit hole movie theater or something.

I agree and most of it all seems to boil down to one issue: lazy/rushed programming; you can sense the attitude of "good enough, just leave it." Not saying it's actually the programmer's fault; mostly it's the fault of corporate big wigs who don't wanna pay more programmers or more time for programmers to do the job right (more swatches, more useable lots, consistency between packs, making sure content is not broken before release, etc.).

The sims 4 museums really broke my heart. In the sims 3, I would have often have my sims develop photogrghy, painting, sculpting, etc. then buy the museum and decorate it with their creations :(

truly the first one, about not being able to play with existing households without making a new sim. like I dont want to? i never played with townies unless my sim ends up marrying them, but i wish there was an option for the new game to say "play with new or existing household?" like they do for scenarios in a way.

Petition for Satch to be on the Sims 5 creative team

Speaking of the toilet pranking, I find it especially egregious in the Magic Realm. The mischief sage is constantly pranking every toilet in the area and we have all of these sims that SHOULD be able to cast both the repair and clean spells on the busted toilets, but they never do. AI controlled magic sims never cast any spells in general, which is pretty disappointing

Question for High School Years: did they add house parties while the parents are away? Boarding schools? Field trips? I have been playing Sims 3... The amount of things you can do with the older games compared to Sims 4... Also did you see the petition that Pixelade has been passing around? It's at 10k signatures if we keep it going maybe they'll fix the transparency issues 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄🤣

The only time I ever go to museums in the sims is for my klepto sim to steal the most random item

All really good points.. It’s kind of disheartening to know that the sims team will never watch this video or address any of these issues. 😰
