Are many sims youtubers overlook the fact the sims 4 is lacking?

That's interesting. I love lilsimsie. I think she is the one I like just as a person the most. She is very kind and is constantly thanking her fans in her videos. I mainly watch her tutorial videos. She has taught me so many building tricks. It's hard to follow her gameplay videos because she talks so fast, yells at her Sims, and they are always catching fire and dying lol. Our gameplay style is so different. My game is very peaceful. All the youtube and twitch Sims gamers seem to play like that. I'm really looking forward to her more real life vlogs as well as her builds, because she is building a house in real life now too. I just don't really listen to any Simmer reviews anymore. Especially not since they all bashed my Batuu baby. I love that pack, so they have no credibility with me anymore. They need to learn the importance of being able to give your Sim a lightsabre and have R2D2 follow around beside you before they try to teach me which packs are good. :unamused:

I do know what you mean because I've played from 2000 as well, for example the number of interactive objects and socializations, stuff to do at locations, business retail play, feels lacking in these packs overall. However the graphics now are so stunning you just can't compare. Also, there are a lot of new animations and places that are amazing. So maybe they are going for higher quality experience and less quantity of objects and socials. I think even if they just added lots of simple things, it would certainly be welcome. Just because I want everything from Sims 1&2, and also Sims Freeplay, as well as brand new things created, all added to my Sims 4 game doesn't mean I am critical in a hateful way. I just want everything. :wink:

One thing that would really help is for more things for sims to do. Example, sim A meets sim B. What can they do? talk. If sims A & B are friends or at least strong acquaintances, and they meet, what can they do? Talk. Where are the sim-to-sim activities? In TS2 there are such options as play (lots of things there), dance with, romantic socials of various levels. There are options with variety. Even talking has the 'hang out' option if the relationship is high enough (doesn't take much) where they do just that, sit down and chat. for hours.

I don't think so no. They decide themselves what to put into their video. It's important to remember that the video we see is just a video showcasing what they feel like saying in the video. If they think that complaining about things lacking in the game does not make for a good video then they are probably not gonna do it.

Some might show how they feel more often than not, often youtubers have a specific style they tend to follow which works for them so as for the youtuber that you mentioned the impression I have gotten is that she is sometimes very positive and sometimes also very negative about some things.

She likes to say "This is the worst day of my life". And that's part of her style and that's also what makes her videos fun to watch.

As a youtuber myself (and not so much sims videos!) some do have a script and may say the same catchphrase to induce fans or an audience. So in essence, they decide for themselves what to put in the video. You also can't know for sure, maybe they don't like the game, or really like the game. Everyone has different tastes as far as what they like. Though if one truly doesn't like something- say that! Even give some of TS3, or TS2 a try.

Actually, Youtuber influencers are there to make money and get perks, their 'job' is to hype a game as much as possible. Those reasons are why LGR decided not to be one of EA's influencers. Notice they are never called 'game changers' anymore because they don't get much input into what goes into a game, though they can offer an opinion. But many of have said when they did get to go somewhere they were not really allowed to be negative and or give honest feedback about a feature. Most of the time it was skipped over quickly and strong feedback ignored or frowned upon. So, they are 'influencers' influencing you to buy as much as they can or they may not be invited the next time..just ask SimsVIP, or some others who lost followers by shadow hiding their reviews etc. If the person isn't happy enough and so excited they may not get the next pack to review, either. It has nothing to do with whether they love a game or pack,it's whether they can generate cash for the company.

I’ve played the sims since the beginning and I enjoy sims 4 even though I wish some things were different.

The reality is that some people like the Sims 4 regardless of its limitations. Some of the features people desperately want back are features that I personally hope don’t make a comeback. We all like different things

I don’t watch that many exclusively Sim Youtubers. But all the ones I watch including Lilsimsie do criticize the game from time to time. Obviously there are some that do it more than others.

Somebody probably wants the YouTuber Sims 4 simmers to be yes people only.

I think some YouTubers have their style and gain an audience for that style. Some are more positive than others, but if they’re sort of working for the company, then I feel it shouldn’t be surprising when they don’t badmouth the company’s product so badly, lol.

It's sad how we keep asking EA/Maxis for more different kinds of venues,but all EA/Maxis ever gives us are more libraries,more bars,more gyms,more fashion and more make-up. I don't think EA/Maxis even cares about listening to us.

"Sims 4 is lacking" is not a fact, it's an opinion. A YouTuber who doesn't share that opinion is not overlooking anything.
