Let's watch: The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle Livestream (May 21st, 11AM PT)

Next time, they either need to have someone else do the livestream... or this guy seriously needs to learn how to be better at it. Because he didn't even show every CAS item (like other live streams have done). Also, he barely even showed ANYTHING for the male Sims (he didn't even show the clothes for male child or toddler Sims at all). I stopped watching after that.

This was extremely disappointing... if the attempt here was to convince me to buy this pack, it was an epic failure... just saying! I actually took a chance on this livestream because I wanted to see if anything about this pack was redeemable, but I have no idea what I'm actually gonna be getting IF I actually do end up purchasing it.

Also, his cocky "you guys will all be buying it, so you'll be able to see everything" attitude was condescending at best. It was rather rude, actually. No, I won't just be blindly buying it without knowing everything I'll be getting with it... show us EVERYTHING the pack comes with! Not just the stuff YOU wanna show because YOU assume we're all just blindly purchasing whatever you give us.

I am feeling relatively moderate about this pack -- not too excited, not too turned off by it. I watched the stream earlier today, and they do go over more if you keep watching beyond the CAS bit. And there were other Gurus who occasionally jumped in to explain elements that they worked on: the world, the map, the careers, skills, objects, etc. I've never watched a stream before, so I don't have anything to judge this one against, but it seemed about as in-depth as I would expect...to the point where I started to get bored and skipped about 20 minutes of it once it hit the 1hr 45minute mark. The thing about this pack for me is that it's too mundane to be worth selling. Like, it all just seems like it should just be patched in. I feel like I need some of the features in my game, but I'm not overly excited to pay for them, if that makes sense. So it explains why I got bored with the stream after a while.

At one point, SimGuruGeorge did reference his notes that he had made for the stream, so it seems like he knew what he wanted to show and not show, and I guess he wants for some things to be a surprise for people.

I'm so excited for a lot of the stuff that's coming out. Eco-living is really important to me and it's so cool that The Sims is incorporating it into the game!

@AquaGamer1212 you're correct, there are 11 *residential* lots totaling 13 editable residences. But don't forget the bar & community lot, which brings the total number of lots to 15.

No one has to explain their opinion.

Nobody needs to be snarky either, but here you are... it's foolish to develop any opinion on something you don't really know anything about. And since the CAS content was barely shown, it's near impossible to give an actual opinion on it... unless you just blindly think everything EA does is "fantastic".

I didn't think too much of it (maybe I just didn't care that much about CAS or because I like discovering things on my own). Have you seen Deligracy's CAS video on YouTube yet? She uploaded it yesterday and showed off all the items.

Unless Deligracy is working for EA and trying to sell the pack, that point is irrelevant. Also, "discovering things on my own" would involve blindly buying a pack just to find out what content is included... no. That's not how it works. I wanna know everything I'm getting BEFORE I get robbed of $40. I'm not a privileged rich youtuber who gets packs for free simply because I make videos on The Sims... nor am I someone who relies on mommy and daddy's money. I'm actually someone who spends their hard earned money on these packs, so yeah...

If you were going to buy a house, wouldn't you wanna know what the entire inside AND outside looks like before doing so?

I was gonna ignore this but wow I just can’t with this so I’ll explain my apparently terrible opinion. I liked what I saw of CAS and I liked the style of what was presented. No need to be rude about my opinion of the new CAS because it differs from yours. They showed a majority of it besides all of the male items so I don’t know why you are stating they barely showed anything because that’s just not true. They didn’t click on every item but you could clearly see most of what was being offered. I liked the look of it...sorry my opinion offends you so much.

Thank you @orkhid22 for defending my comment. Appreciate the kindness :).

Then you should've said "Female CAS looks fantastic"... because saying the overall CAS looks "fantastic" is creating an opinion based on nothing.

She 'shouldn't' have had to say anything. Not sure why you're being unnecessarily passive aggressive for her sharing her opinion. It needs no explanation for you or anyone else? I'm scratching my head wondering why this is such a big deal.

From what I've seen with the CAS I like a lot of pieces and even with the ones I got to glance at (went back and slowed down the video). As of right now there's various videos of build/buy and CAS on youtube if you want to see everything individually. What I did just to see what else was on offer that didn't get seen. Easy peasy.

But you wanted to watch developers' CAS overview, and they're trying to do exactly the same... sell this pack. Okay then.
You don't have to listen to everything gamechangers are saying if you don't like it, you can just watch and see what CAS looks like, you know.
