LGR Nifty Knitting Review

I did not know sims 4 had 17 stuff packs!! I am shook! When people state that i always assumed they meant the total number of all packs and not just stuff packs. That is a big number but it makes sense when you consider that sims 4 has no store unlike ts2 and ts3. If you put the store items from previous games into packs, you would probably get an equal number of packs or even a higher one.

Didn't we vote on the content and already knew what was going to be in the pack?

@crocobaura Yeah but that doesn't take away from dissapointment from people who didn't want that. Also I did vote for Arts and Crafts but I did it only because I imagined a pack similar to FreeTime or something. Once I saw the second vote I was immidiately put off by the narrow feature options and I just stopped voting.
We did have a voice in the pack but we were not the ones who decided on the execution and that's what it's all about.

My point was that we cannot say that there wasn't enough information on what the pack is about and what it contains. There were very few surprises by the time it was released.

Yep. Nifty Knitting sure does exist.....

So?

I am having more fun with the pack than expected (I voted against both knitting and arts and crafts...), but I absolutely understand and empathize with his point of view. It's there to use and that is about it. Unless you play a knitter, you really will not use this stuff and going in I did not really expect to play knitters since I have no interest in real life.

I have, though, and I have gotten some fun and hilarious moments out of it. Will it stick, though? Well, no one knows until this packs ages some more.

I can say, though, I have been wanting more info about the gamepack well before this come out.

He did NOT hold back this time.

LGR: "In my eyes, this is nothing more than another forgettable add-on to an increasingly forgettable game that has far outstayed its welcome."

I know some people will disagree, but I believe he's right. TS4 has overstayed its welcome and stuff packs are just mind-numbingly boring. It's literally watch your Sims perform a couple of new animations over and over. There's no depth whatsoever.

At least they included younger Sims this time, because more often than not they forget children and toddlers exist. But that doesn't make up for the lack of gameplay, the boring knitting animation (seriously, why doesn't the wool change colors at least?) and the lack of depth, which is pretty common for TS4 SPs.

He was definitely more critical this time.

Short. Simple. entertaining. Not too detailed and honest thoughts afterwards... hard to find within the sims community.

I am fine with the whole voting thing and for me it was always clear in what we get.


The stuff pack will include the top voted gameplay (knitting) from the top voted theme. Additional gameplay from the theme may be included if it fits within the stuff pack scope of the stuff pack, but its not guaranteed

We were informed, it was clear that only one gameplay out of 3 will win. And yeah the other gameplay stuff within this theme are only shown with decorative things, but at least somewhat there.


Expectations...they are still there after 6years. Even though the Sims4 is known for splitting packs and having the same theme in 5 DLCS covered (scam). There are still expectations to have a full blown Freetime Pack like in the sims2, while voting for a stuff pack, when the Team can not even listen to their fanbase about skin colours and we still have object babies...

Sims4 is what it is... its sad honestly, but still enjoyable if you dont expect too much, dont always compare and pay half off...

Is he always like this? Must be a lot of fun at parties.

With TS3 not really. Great example being Seasons expansion pack.

Dude chill....No need to be a ????. LGR is respected in the community, his opinion matters to a lot of people. He's tired like many others...he probably doesn't wanna do these reviews, but when you have MANY people who COUNT on you to do reviews you gotta do what you gotta do! He's real plain a simple and dishes it like it is and is not afraid to speak his mind...

Just don't watch him if you aren't a fan that simple bud.

You don't have to take it personally just because somebody doesn't like the youtuber that we do.

So he’s not knitworthy then.
It’s alright, I get why he’s frustrated.
