There's some cute items here but this really suffers from the fact that they want to make more money by cutting everything up into tons of tiny packs that don't fit well together in a jigsaw sense. It would be better if they made a larger creative pack with lots of creative, craft and design activities. They could include maker's workshops (like community spaces where you can go and build stuff with other Sims) have a bunch of objects to create your own workshop/tool area at home. The ability to work on cars like in The Sims 2, knitting, game development (make your own games) build robots/small electronic devices, general textile and clothes designs, pottery etc. Reintroduce cars in this pack and then have carboot sales (not sure what they're called in America, but like events where you sell stuff out of your car) and other craft fairs, and events like that. Could introduce robot battles as well for craftable robots and other competitions. I know robots were introduced in university but I think it would have made more sense to put them in a general crafting/tech oriented pack.

I-m a sims-Addict, Sims 2 is still my favourite by far, and I want to say I love the sims 4, but it-s so far downhill it breaks my heart. It-s like a family member or dear friend who-s a piece of shit, but you still love them and want them to be good again.
I still do find enjoyment in sims 4, but only because of the literal hundreds of mods I use. Both aesthetic CC and gameplay mods, and glitch-fix mods. Sims 4 is just a skeleton that I use mods to turn into an enjoyable experience.
I mod Sims 2 as well, but a vanilla game is still enjoyable unlike sims 4-
Sims 3 was/is also pretty good when it worked but I find its almost always taken hours to load, and mostly just lagged constantly while playing -

Honestly this just feels like custom content that you fork over $9. 99 for. I've seen modders and custom content creators create stunning, game changing and useful things for the Sims series and releasing it for free. When players are creating whole locations with an open-world concept, or creating furniture and clothes that people will actually wear and use, it's a pretty obvious sign that the Sims team needs to approach packs differently.
moral of the story is to support your favorite custom content creators and modders, don't waste your money on another stuff pack you don't need from a company that doesn't listen.

They are just splitting expansion packs across fifty different stuff packs and ugh. The fact that it took SO LONG for the Sims 4 to get down-right essential mechanics (note that I didn't say expansions, shit like this SHOULD BE IN THE BASE GAME OF A -LIFE- SIM) like University, Pets, Seasons, etc while they continue to spend time on hyper-focused, puddle deep stuff packs is just dissapointing. A proper arts and crafts stuff pack would've been nice, would've been even better as part of a hobbies pack like Free Time or Ambitions.
This stuff is why I just play TS2 and TS3 these days.

It would be cool if people sent LGR Sims 4 mods to review. Something that is actually decent related to Sims 4, but I think Clint is getting broken by the lack of creativity and actual, you know, stuff getting added that is of use to Sims fans. It's all quite sad when a beloved franchise begins to die and is simply being milked to gain more money for EA. I pretty much don't play the Sims the way I use to, it's basically me using tons of mods to make the game a bit too mature for the average gamer. Let's just say that the homicide rate in my Sims 4, is very very high.

I honestly don-t blame you for stopping your reviews on this trash game. Literally the modding community is what makes this game good and it-s just so sad because I rarely ever put mods in my previous sims games. I do look at others reviews that are honest and I could not believe how bad the Star Wars pack actually was. not even actual creatures! They are costumes? EA are dicks. And eco living? I-m sorry but no. And this stuff pack I-d never buy. Now they are already pushing out another expansion and I am just like please stop -

Sims 1: New idea with good times to be had
Sims 2: Improve and add onto what the first game started, add new features, details etc.
Sims 3: Whole open world with no loading screens at the cost of some interiors, create a style, etc.
Sims 4: Remove most of the stuff that was added in Sims 2 and 3 in order to charge money to add it back in or pretend it never existed. When that stops working, just make DLC packs that seem like third party mods or something that should've come with the vanilla version of the game.

If I played The Sims 4 for fun, I'd be as disappointed as you and everyone else is with the game. Personally, I'm a builder/storyteller, so the packs more or less work for what I play it for.
Edit: roflmfao, the woman in the rocking chair and knitting while listening to metal is hilarious. omg. reminds me of that scene from Monsters Inc University - mom in a mumu listening to metal while her kid and others break into the scare factory -

That would have been a perfect pack to combine with Seasons into one 30-40$ expansion pack. Seasons in Japan are particularly known to be gorgeous, so a japanese world could make full use of seasonal variation, and have hanami in spring, summer festivals, beautiful red leaves in autumn and hokkaido-style snow festival and winter sports. That would have felt like a robust pack with a personnality.

Not gonna lie. Nifty Knitting is great for rags to riches. I love to force my sims to succeed from the ground up.
My typical rags to riches is a sim with nothing on the lot and the only way they can make money is one way. I. e. If Sim has a job, they can't find frogs/dig/harvest. If they dig/find frogs/harvest, they can't fish.
Nifty Knitting Challenge adds a new challenge. Naked on a lot.
