Lazy Gamer Reviews My First Pet

I agree with LG I did not buy this pack but I could see that it would be waste of money unless you want new outfits for you cat or dog. The whole Sims 4 really is bad in comparison to Sims 3 over all it is a joke.

Personally i think they are both flawed, Thesims3 has too much content but the sims thenselves are lackluster and the game is a buggy mess, Thesims4 has smarter sims and is more stable but lacks content, both suffer the whole experience due to basegame design decisions (Bad sims/Bad world design) and with constant cash grabs on part of the DLC cycle. Thesims3 with the store and Thesims4 with the stuff packs.

But i personally prefer smarter sims and Gamepacks to Thesims3 simpoints and bigger world even if it has more content so i must disagree and say thesims4 is better but not by a huge leap, honestly Thesims2 is still the better game in general, even with its ugly graphics and closed map.

EDIT : I am NOT buying this pack by the way as i, too,think it is rubbish.

Agreed So much. If there is one thing that bothers me with sims 4 is the lack of Expansion Packs. For me if we had our 7th Expansion Pack Coming right now(if we had two EP Teams) then the game may already had tons of content. Complaints about the lack of content might have been ended, and the game is shaping on the fullest it can be. But instead they chose for some reason to create a SP Team rather than an EP Team.

I think it's because they've changed how they're handling the game overall. I personally think their intention is to make the TS4 run almost twice as long as previous base games and I get the impression that was the plan while they were building the new engine. But they need content to be released regularly and it's a lot easier to get people to buy $10 packs than $40 packs. People may spend $10 on a whim but they aren't going to do that with $40 normally.

In what way are sims in 4 smarter? And what exactly is smart in a game anyway? My sims in 3 take care of themselves and when I don’t instruct them they do varied things. Most of the time I tell them what to do though, because it’s a game and I want to play it, not watch it. How much smarter do you want them to be? Sims 4 doesn’t have any bugs, I’ll give you that. Nobody complaining about that. Nor does the game need mods.

As for Sims 2 graphics, maaaah..., I don’t know.

I guess I just don't get why his reviews are so waited for and are taken as gospel for so many simmers and other gamers. I tend to make up my own mind about things (not saying others don't, I just don't wait anxiously to see what LGR or any other reviewer is going to say about a particular game or pack).

I definitely wouldn't say they're "taken as gospel"... That's a little extreme honestly. He tells it like it is, plain and simple. He's also entertaining in his reviews, in my opinion. And theyre short and sweet. (I thought I'd watch a review yesterday, and it was 42 minutes long!?!? Who has time for that?)
But you could say that about anything. I wait for new teen mom episodes every Monday, but do i take them as gospel? Uh, no.

Sure. What I find a lot ironic, is that his fandom do NOT like for anyone to have a extremely honest, negative opinions of him. Say anything that isnt praise of his opinion, or his brand and its pitchforks. But I thought ya liked honesty , lol. I clearly ruffled the feathers of one of his fervent fans when I said that he is a little bogus and he came back at me going through my post history, telling me what opinions I am allowed to have and all.

Edit:Also telling me that buying a gaming laptop is ridiculous for sims and just being rude.

You keep saying that, but.. no? What pitchforks are you referring to? Here? If anything calling the man bogus rather feels like wielding a pitchfork really.

I wonder if the reason they're not putting out anywhere near the same amount of content has to do with what the game can handle. Sims 3 had a ton of content; EPs coming out 2-3 times a year, the store, SPs, etc. But the more content you had, the more likely it was that you'd encounter bugs. Even Origin warns against playing with all the EPs (I have no issue, but I also have a decent machine).

Anyway, perhaps they're counting on the game having a certain amount of time before the next game in the series comes out, and they don't want to overload the game.

Sims 4 definitely has its share of bugs which have gotten far worse since the game was released, even with regular patches. My guess is it would be far worse if we were getting the 2-3 EPs a year + a SP or 2 a month (Sims 3 Store content).

All these bugs may be turning up due to how many packs are programmed into it. All Sims versions are large programs centered around the base game. They probably have to comb through all the code to find the culprits. However in Sims 4 case being it is not using any of the complex features that was in Sims 3 and even Sims 2 it should have been easier but guess it is not because eventually as the packs are added on specs will start to matter.

Last time there was a sale at christmas, and then the prices rose after it for everybody who wasn't American.

Who's betting on a price-rise next quarter?!

*gives a casual, non-specific sneer at the people who think it'll never happen to them so that she never has to be rude to anybody in particular because face it, that's what EA does*

Then again, the skeleton wasn't called Indiana Bones so... whatever.

I've been having problems with the game, even when I take out all of my mods... never thought the game itself was causing them
