Honestly? I'm not even that fussed about some of this not being base game. It's more the 'expansion pack' label that feels insulting. It's a game pack, at absolute most.

It was nice to have this feature but I wish that they would have at least fixed the fact that it felt like ashley madison instead of tinder.. 🥲

I still don't really understand how they can justify the price of an Expansion Pack for this... it's not changing the gameplay very much and yes, the CAS and build buy items are nice, but forty pounds?! For those and an app?! The new date system should have been added to base game in a refresh and I'm just so shocked that this was an Expansion.

I've just bought a PC and because you cannot transfer packs across from console im going through the process of deciding which expansion packs are worth it to rebuy and stopping buying more content on console. This pack isn't worth it, at least not at full price.

I wonder how the lifestyles plays into all this

I think Sims 4 deffo falls in a special case category when compared to Sims 1-3 as at this point it has converted to an all-digital game AND its 10 years old. It also seems like EA wants to make it evergreen and ongoing for as long as they can and because of that I think all "systems" should be released from their paywall pack chains AND that the old DLC model just doesn't work anymore. Several systems need to be placed into base game. Not only turn ons/offs, but milestones, character values, and lifestyles (to name a few). Specific pack things that impact those systems can be locked behind the paywall (like certain types of turn ons/offs could just be Lovestruck), but the system itself being base game means every pack can use and contribute to said system instead of being forgotten (like lifestyles, think about how lifestyles COULD have been expanded upon since Snowy Escape, instead they're basically a barely used feature). The calendar is a good example where this benefited the game, the calendar being base game and NOT locked to seasons means any pack can use and interact with the calendar to expand it. It didn't take away from owning seasons, it added to the overall game experience for all and the creation of future packs. Making turn ons/offs as a system base game means it is an evergreen system that can be built upon by ANY packs and pack features moving into the future. I also think EPs and Kits just shouldn't exist anymore. It should either be a game pack or a stuff pack, with game packs having the option of "worlds" (tho honestly for the purpose of gameplay, I already feel overloaded on worlds and I don't even own every pack. Honestly just want some more official tools for world editing when I want to change my worlds, especially editing editing off lot objects - I know TOOL exist, but I would love to do it "officially"). With world edit tools, you can make the world whatever you want. You don't have to wait on EA to shape your representation.

I've been watching several videos about this pack. I think this video has helped me confirm that I do not want to pay for this pack. I am still such a fan of the "Refresh" aspect of already purchased features/packs. They did it only once and never tried again. This pack could have easily been a "Refresh" scenario, where you add on to already existing features. I hate that we are now 10 years into the lifetime of this game and still things cost $40 for "quirky features", a few build/buy objects and that's it. This model sucks.

I like the lovestruck system better. The pack integration argument....it feels like you need the game to say 'do this ' but also i understand the disappointment of the lack of integration but not really with dates. I don't think it's just because 4 is 10 years old that we have this argument. I've had people tekl me because this is sims 4, because the franchise is 24 years old, that everything should be BG or free updates. They definitely struggle with... being broader. yes Lovestruck is about dating and romantic relationship. Very specific but players are saying XYZ could have been added and it's related to dating or romance in general. This could akso be because it's 3 gurus vs millions of players. Well with some packs like Lovestruck, while some packs, i think they forget about kids and teens. Everyone is going to have a different opinion. It just sux that people argue 'im right, everyone needs to sgree with me or you're a newbie, suckers etc'. That I've seen people ssy they don't dare talk about being interested in a pack.

I don't know what is going on after part 12

What happened to Jack and Elisa

This is really interesting comparison!

Today, you have just demonstrated why I haven’t bought the pack. And I did fill up the survey and tell that right to EA directly. Why would I pay for something I already have? I don’t feel like it’s really changing anything deeply, the world is empty with nothing to do and no new lot type, compatibility with other packs is greatly lacking hence your demonstration with dine out (and you could have talked about many other pack that would have been awesome to set dates in like bowling or movie night), there is no expansion with this pack only little changes to base game. And the worse of it all is that with mods, you can have better than lovestruck, way more in depth gameplay without having to pay the high amount of money EA is asking for this pack. 🤷🏻‍♀️ When it will be 50% off, maybe I’ll buy it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Absolutely not worth the 55 Canadian dollars I would have to spend to get it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

i don't like the "this should have been in base game" logic. You could make a good argument that all the packs should have been base game. I get where people are coming from though.

Thank you for the video and comparison. I would really like to see you talk about Lovestruck and High School Years or just Lovestruck and teens in general. I'm curious how it works for teens (I know they can't use Cupid's Corner but I'd guess they could use the new dating system?)

i’m so annoyed by my sim finding everyone attractive or unattractive. like girl- you’re at a duel with simeon, get back to work tf? i think ui cheats has a turn off attraction for everyone but romantic partner option though :3

I'm glad they left in the base game dates (and changed it so Wedding Stories doesn't take away base game weddings). The flowers and champagne bucket are interesting and potentially useful reward items, though I'm glad we won't have to be inundated with those rewards any time we want to do a romantic aspiration (the new dates work for those right?). I don't need 10 champagne buckets, especially since they are worth like 300 simoleons a pop so you end up with a bizarre amount of money if you sell them

I have to admit, I was quite amused that my Sim kept finding literally EVERYONE she met "Very Attractive" (like...I appreciate the optimistic positivity, but SOME standards, please)-until she met Akira, and he was the *only* Sim in the entire game she found Unattractive. So, I don't know what vibe she picked up on, but she was not having it.

YESSSS!!! I checked all day yesterday for this video because you said it would be posted Saturday. This is what I wanted to know before deciding if I wanted the pack or not. Thank you!!!

I forget what you did in your episodes for the vet, but. if you can't get your vet high enough by just doing interactions with pets and dogs, you can work around that by doing that. decorating with items that have extremely high environments, scores and doing things to up the five stars that way. using the best products, using all the advertising, doing everything else and you can get to 5 stars that way.

i love going back to rewatch this whenever my sims 3 phase pops up, can't believe it's been a whole decade!! i remember waiting for episodes to come out

The jungle nursery so cuuuute🤍

Why do you call this a gay mod when it's just a bunch of trans stuff

Alan maybe?

Never clicked so fast

It makes sense irl that most romantic relationships start with a good friend dynamic. Or overall basic attraction. Growing together def has the basis to build the romance easier. Ofc, this depends on your sims goal. Do they want a serious commited relationship or sleep around or explore and be adventurous.

It’s weird seeing Edith with maxis match hair lol still gorgeous though.

Great video! I loved it!

I tried some of the more romantic scenarios with lovestruck, and granted they were probably broken before, but they didn't work At ALL with love struck.

Could someone please tell how to trigger that event in game?

I would love to see you do a Lovestruck and High School Years pack. I know the teens can't do Cupid's Corner, but I'd like to see how the attraction system affects them. It makes sense to me to have a lot of teens that build relationships slowly through friendships - doing activities together, sports and fishing and cooking etc., so I hope it works :)

Mentoring sims does the trick, they become bestfriends in no time.

I don’t own lovestruck, but every gameplay I watch with the pack Sims seem to want to get married pretty fast, like worse than normal which was already too fast for me pre lovestruck. But maybe because all the promotion around lovestruck has people pushing the romance skill/bar more. But I want my sims to have time to actually date while living life too!! Is it very detrimental if one turns down a marriage proposal?

as someone who, in one perticular save file, did accomadate the partyhouse once, i can confirm it's not worth.

How would I do this challenge? I got this challenge 3 different times, and all 3 times it said I didn't have perfect dates? I meet all the goals and went on dates with different sims each time and it still said I failed. What am I doing wrong? This is getting so highly frustrating :/

I see now why you said I specifically would like this video. 😭

Are the brownies vegan? Because plubmella got the same ones and on her ad video she said she had taken a bit of them, so I’m presuming they’re all vegan?

I m a console play all my life and I play sims 4 build in the sim s 4

I just realized those windows glitching in the distance at the beginning of the video.. I can't believe this new city looks like this.. 🙄. I think the content looks fun otherwise, I really do. But ths weird looking windows are throwing me off... why is EA doing this? I really want to love this new pack 😪

Wow Mollie, I'm trying the black widow for the first time and I married Eleanor cause she won the lottery. Problem is I can't bring myself to kill her off. My plan was to marry elders and send them off with some lethal woohoo, but I like Eleanor😢

Seeing Edith again, the queen of black widow, is just nostalgic vibes everywhere 😩💕✨

Hey I have a question are you able to play sims 4 because the update broke the game and mods

I have found in my game that attraction affects compatability heavily, but I wish it didn't. I think it makes sense for compatability to affect attraction, but not for attraction to affect compatability, ya know? Because not every sim is a potential romantic interest (like, for example, family members...)

Did u notice that they changed the growing together compatibility icons? what do u think about them? I noticed the other day while playing and idk if i like them honestly😅 they are a lil plain for my taste, i prefer them how they were before, they were more intelligible imo

this video really confirmed for me that growing together is an awesome pack. not that i needed reconfirmation

I had put off buying this pack, no matter how excited I was for it, due to creator reactions, but this has completely changed my mind!
