Also, when setting relationships you can't create a child and grandparent. Only parents and siblings. How 'bout grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins? Could make for greats gameplay and stories. If I wanted a child and grandmother living together I'd have to create the parents as well and then "send them out to the farm" or arrange "an accident". It's super annoying.

Exactly and toddlers can’t interact with cousins, grandparents or aunts and uncles :/ (at least on my game)

Out of all my Sims 4 gripes (and I have a lot) the lag is probably the biggest one that annoys me. But I also get frustrated when two sims who live together, and haven't spoken all day, have to greet each other before having a conversation. Another frustration is the toddlers and how the parents interact with them. I literally had a toddler get stuck trying to grab a plate of food because their mom wanted to check on them. Then she proceeded to pick him up then put him down then pick him up. An endless cycle of frustration while the game was scolding me for not feeding my sims' kid. As for challenges, I'm here for more challenging game play but I also kind of like the fact that I don't have to try too hard in the sims. Sometimes I just want to speed run a wedding and then stop playing for a few weeks, you know 😊

the lag issues are insane lol!!!! I guess the challenge thing depends on everyone's individual play style!

They need a friend option in cas, or adoption in cas would be cool, like you pick a random child to adopt

A friend one makes sense too!

I like how this is 5 things when most of us can go super high on things we hate. 1. Babies are objects 2. black swatches in cas and build mode are not true black 3. many doors and windows swatches dont match true 4. No cars 5. No open worlds 6. No true hybrids 7. No color wheel 8. Can't build fence on the edge or edit over the lot line 9. No height difference between young adult and teens 10. Depainting of half walls still happens 11. No customization on hair color, like roots etc... sims 3 had 3 choices for the same hair. 12. No pool table, pinball machine, no wall phones, no alarms, no slide for pool, not diving board.... and technically these should all be seperate points lol... and this isnt even scratching the surface of things i hate of sims 4

The lack of challenge really became apparent to me when I got Realm of Magic and wanted my human sim to become a spellcaster...first of all it was super easy barely an inconvenience to find the portal to the magic realm and second of all, after talking to one of the mages, they sent me on a quest to gather 6 glowing stones or whatever, but the stones were all just laying around in plain sight, there was no real challenge or depth to finding them and it took all of like a minute to gather them up and take them back to mage who then immediately transformed my sim into a spellcaster and sent them on their way...it was completely boring and didn't provide any kind of stimulation, I didn't have to think or try to solve anything in order to find the stones and after that, I never bothered with Realm of Magic again...Jungle Adventure at least made finding the temple a little more difficult with the chance cards popping up and then actually finding the treasure within was also a bit more challenging and risky because you could catch on fire or get poisoned in the process and you had to solve a sort of puzzle in order to advance...but it seems they get lazier and lazier with each new pack and I finally ended my 7 year long relationship with Sims 4 just before they released wedding stories, I'm glad I did since that's a broken glitch dumpster fire of a half-assed pack! No excuse for putting out such shitty work! Sims 2 is my all time favorite of the Sims franchise and I still play it today! At least back when they released packs for it, everything worked properly and they added a lot more game play to it! Paralives is also looking pretty good about now, I got my Steam account ready to go!

Yeah, Realm of Magic’s set up is a bit odd. I get that they wanted to be able to quickly and easily turn an existing sim into a spellcaster if you wanted, but then why bother with befriending a sage and getting a quest at all? They could have just made an interactable object in the magic realm allow you to become a spellcaster immediately. On the flip side, if they wanted to make you work for it, they could have made the sages harder to find/get to know and the quest into something that took actual effort over days. It feels like they were trying to satisfy two conflicting concepts at once.

On the topic of lacking a challenge, I feel like they're really missing so many gameplay opportunities by making the needs be just a side thing; in the first two games managing your sim's needs was a bit harder, not too hard but still you had to consider their needs when planning their day-to-day schedule; I understand that they now made the needs way more easy to manage to free the time for all the other activities your sim can do, but in turn it made the needs entirely redundant. They're just there? What's the point of them then, not much will change if you just take them out completely at this point, maybe there's a way to make them more challenging while also more fun somehow

I hate that packs with stuff that need their own lots (Movie hangout, Bowling night etc) don’t have their own lot type. I don’t want to have a bar at my bowling alley or playground equipment in my cinema. And there is no way I can fit a cinema or bowling alley on my 20x20 lot Also, some bugs I’m having is my dream home decorator modular shelves keep deleting themselves and going into my household inventory whenever I reload the lot, and my sim won’t knit until I click the sofa and select the knit option 2 times, if I don’t click the sofa they walk to a random spot in the house, like their bedroom or the toddlers room, and wave their hands in the air

I never thought about that but it's such a good point!!!!!!

i definitely agree about the lack of challenge, especially when it’s so easy to cheat. like why spend hours getting my sims’ needs up when i can just cheat & have them advance in their career? idk, i love the sims 4 but i do get bored of it really quickly and i find that i have to find ways to make it fun, like doing challenges and stuff it’s also essentially unplayable without at least a few packs, the base game mechanics are so unbelievably boring and it’s become very “pay to win” esque :/

As someone that LOVES the Sims 4... All of these points are totally valid and I feel ALL of them in my bones, lol. This was the first time a video of yours has been recommended to me and I would like to compliment you on your thoughtfulness in the way you make points. I think it's important context that told us that you also recorded the 5 things you like in the Sims 4. Off to watch your other one, too! Thank you for your thoughts :)

And to answer the he question you directly ask, yes I agree with you about the lack of challenge. Specifically when you frame from a "selling things from your inventory" kind of view. I truly think that the team or EA feel like they are giving us options for level of difficulty in gameplay, to meet players at their level of understanding. However, defaulting to always have an easy way out means that we're just going to use it. Great point

My biggest issue with the old packs is vacation worlds I hate that I can't live in salvadorado or granite falls. The only vacation world should be battu now that we have rental/vacation lots. If they don't do anything else I want them to go back and update those things. Also it would be very VERY nice if some of the lakes and oceans in past packs worlds were swimmable, just saying.

The lack of personality trait slots makes sims appear one-dimensional. I get that it’s a game but it like EA didn’t even TRY to make it realistic.

One thing I think is annoying is even when someone absolutely HATES you, they'll still come over to your house and act like nothing is wrong. It's really annoying, I'll often just delete the sim with mc command center lol

Everytime I think of a new issue in the Sims 4 you mention it in a video HAHA you got everything spot on. I know mods can fix a lot of these issues especially the traits, the challenge aspect and the sims won't leave me the fk alone aspect BUT I really think if they go back and fix all of their bugs this game would already be way better. (Pls EA I just want to go to a restaurant)

@SatchOnSims

| think so too! And mods aren't good for people not on consoles

Most annoying for me: having a romantic dinner date in a restaurant, the date sim randomly talking to a stranger sim, the food not arriving and everything is messed up. I hate it so much. I love the things, they are coming up with like the restaurants in general, but pls just do it right, take your time and fix this random stuff that shouldn't be there... 🙄 I love The Sims... Thats just why I want them to do that.

Ι hate the fact that it take sooooo long just to eat.

Kinda agree about the lack of challenge, but I think the right approach is not to just make already existing stuff more difficult, but to add more stuff to do. Because the fun kind of challenge for me comes from trying to juggle and balance many things at once. Sure a bit more unpredictability would also do the sims 4 a lot of good

Sims 2 is kinda challenging though, but yeah, definitely the simulation thing on Sims 4 is really really frustrating.

for me the sims 2 had so much relationship depth because of one sided relationships and interests. If one sim loved something and the other hated it, it would be more of a challenge to build friendship between them because they'd have disagreements.

Great video. I agree with everything except maybe with the part of having our sims do things like cheating or getting divorced out of our control. Because personally, I'm one of those players that likes to have control over what happens with my Sims, at least in big things like them getting married, divorced or cheating as it would interrupt my gameplay if those things happened without me making it happen. But this just is my opinion.

I personally don’t like the emotion system on my last gameplay I forced my male sim to cheat on his wife, she caught them, she went to her bedroom which very nice and well decorated (because I got forced to build) and she was just so happy now all of sudden. Since they are doing updates now very often that breaks a lot of mods I decided to just build a save file in my way and bring back game from past games 😂

I feel like there are challenges for me but they are rather infuriating, like trying to feed and clean a child sim when adults randomly drop those tasks and just start doing something else, trying to make them sit on the table and eat together (like for some reason they all sit separately in couches when there is an empty dining table closer to them??) trying to have my sims have a regular sleep schedule... idk, I might be playing it badly but I feel like, when especially playing with families I don't have any time to do fun family activities or even just interactions between the family because it always just takes sooooo long to cover the toddler's basic needs and the sleep schedule gets messed up one way or the other. And of course I can use cheats but I don't really want to, I want them to sit and eat together when they are hungry, I want the adults sims to read bedtime story when the child is sleepy... I feel like their needs get low so fast that I can't really keep up with it let alone thinking of doing something else

The things in this game that seem to be redundant gameplay features actually offer extra ways to play the game and can also be used for roleplaying. A lot of this game seems to be meant for that stuff, but whether or not they really were put in for those purposes seems to me to be a mystery? Also, you have a choice as to whether or not you power through the interactions when getting to know sims and whether or not you use exploits. That's another aspect of roleplaying and ways to play the game. I understand if it's too tempting to do things the easy or less optimal way and that it may not feel like a choice then, but I thought I'd offer suggestions nonetheless.

I wish the game had more spontaneity. The sims just do what I tell them. it's exciting when one of my sims starts a fire or with MCCC an NPC sim in a relationship with my sim can propose to them without me telling them to.

Satch, you crack me up. Watching the previous video about what you love, I was like...is he reading off a script? You seemed so stiff and unnatural. But this...this is what I subscribed for! I've been playing for 22 YEARS. All four games. You are my fave simmer by far. You call it like it is!

the counter thing is because not all of them are used as a "bar" kind of thing to sit in front of, if you know what I mean? some are just used as counter like between a fridge and an oven and when they are in front of a wall it makes no sense to have drawers on the back side. they offer both options so they can be used in both ways

I recently got the sim 4 on recent Black Friday and play until now… but I am just a newer so I love them a lot. However, I think the personality trait are not that much. They need more personality trait. It’s make me sad that somehow my sims just like other sims. I personally not enjoy vocation world. Why I canno t live and also have vocation there? (Like snowy escape ). Why life style in Snowy escape not in the base game? I also wish that they will tell us every clothes that are still lock. ( the new packs have that system but the old packs doesn’t) oh, there is one think I also dislike. I want male/female wear other gender clothes without buggy : ( Oh I think I remember what I hate now. Why male sim always get less things than female though TwT BTW I do wish they add werewolf though. : 3

what is this hair

Honestly I'm glad I don't have much lags issues but the Death somehow lags a lot 😢

I honestly hate the interactions between sims as well, you can be sitting right next to a sim by the bar, and then you decide to 'gossip' with them, all of a sudden your sim gets up and sits at a table far away to talk to the sim that was next to them, then as you talk, the other sims gets up and sits by you, and then you get up and sit somewhere else, it makes literally no sense.

This is why personality was so much better in the sims 3. Not only did you have more options, but you could choose more and some traits could act as major ones against minor ones. In the sims 4, newer traits are extremely detailed and affect gameplay way more than most of the base game traits and only 3 is so limiting.

I support the points of this video wholeheartedly!

You’re like ibxtoycat except for sims! (He does minecraft)

I wish we could have a mode to stop the sisms to talk with complete strangers

For me I like to challenge myself in the sims 3 I created a dead beat dad with a teenage werewolf with a little brother and sister(child) and a toddler to raise when no money I had my teen dumpster dive and we stay broke since most money goes to Bills. My game keeps having robbers and ghosts which I'll take any day then sims 4. I get to bored with sims 4 to play for even 15 mins,sims 3 I pull 2 all nighters.

Sims 4 should’ve been sims 1 2 3 combine!!! Would of been a huge success! I mean I remember getting it back in 2014 with the light up plumbob thing which was pretty cool but….. big step down from sims 3 Noooo poools cars open world customisation at all like!!! Build mode is so glitchy sometimes 😬😬😬

I think the reason Sims 4 isn't adding any challenge is that more people would be mad the people that would be excited.

as far as selling items goes, I'm pretty sure selling them in a shop, yard sale or via plopsy is more profitable.

What I do hate in the Sims 4 traits is the fact that most of them mean nothing. Unlike the Sims 3, where traits tweak sims behaviour and gameplay, most of the Sims 4 traits just add some moodlets. So all sims and npcs are actually the same, they have no particular and unique personality In short, gameplay in the Sims 4 is the weakest part of the game. It's just like a bunch of really cool editors, which are tied by a small number of animations

The sims needs a gamemode slider. When it's set to easy you can use cheats and whatnot when it's set to hard your kids hate you, your spouse cheats on you and your boss undermines you at work. Ya know...like real life.

With the traits they just where being lazy honestly
