LGR Nifty Knitting Review

Some ppl act as if LGR was a bitter old man yelling at clouds for the sake of yelling. He cares about the franchise!! A bunch! He has SOOO many videos about the sims and plenty of other vintage games and computer tech. His 'Sims 4, 2years of Meh' video really hits home. This was made years ago and the fact that its STILL true is so sad.

His videos are funny, to the point, and informative enough for me. I like his and Carls.

How LGR feels about TS4 is EXACTLY what a LOT of us feel! Its not him alone! Fustrated, dissapointed, and apathetic about the state of the Sims and its future.

Its not that we are boring, bitter, cynical or any of that. We love the games and the legacy of the Sims. We love building, creating, sharing, and talking about our favorite games. We just know it can be a lot better and EA's efforts to cashgrab is becoming more and more obvious. Sims 4 had some great features and we can agree to that. But overall? Especially with the overpriced packs/ep with a quarter of the content the previous titles used to bring? Not to mention the lack of core content, consequences, customization, humor, depth, challenge...





We're tired of it

Oh thank goodness. Now I know what I am supposed to think about the knitting pack.

And for a while I was worried you aren't going to say that, as you missed the one before this pack :D :p

Besides, just because LGR feels a certain way about the game doesnt mean you have to agree! These reviews are not the 10 Commandments. Theyre just popular reviewers and fans like to share them and post him here. People do the same with Carl, Plumbella, or any other game changers or reviewers. Feel free to post your own reviews!

I think it's weird that you're keeping tallies of my posts.

I meant it as a joke. And no, I do not.

You usually say that same sentence at every time, so that is why I said what I said.

I am sorry if I offended at anyhow, I'll see myself out.

I believe a lot of us are really tired of this never-ending cycle of disappointing packs. It's practically impossible to get excited about anything anymore after so many lackluster releases. I was expecting this pack to at least feature more unique animations, but there are literally 2 animations for knitting and 2 for using the rocking chair. I honestly think they didn't put any effort into making it, or the budget has gotten even smaller now. The only time TS4 surprises me is when a pack DOESN'T suck.

This is what I feared. I wanted knitting. I voted for it and was happy when it won. But the execution does not look the best. As a community stuff pack I feel there was very little actual community involvement. It felt more like we were just picking from the ideas that the devs wanted for a knitting pack and the result is subpar, imo. Had we had more involvement, who knows maybe this pack could have turned out different. At this point, it does not seem worth a buy.

Lgr is the best & most honest one out of every other sim influencers. They’re nothing but a joke & will hype any pack just to get on EA good side.

I love LGR's reviews. He's funny. But i don't always agree with him. And this is one of this times...

I think NK has more in it than most of the other stuff packs. A skill, an aspiration, a new way of selling crafts, a new radio station with new animations, bb and a lot of cas (even most being connected to the skill).

It looks like LGR doesn't like sims 4 and he sounds tired. But it was actually the first time that i think he wasn't fair. Is knitting niche? Well most of the skills are. Does looking at your sim knitting is boring? Well looking at him cooking or fishing or dj'ing or programing is also boring. It is if you concentrate in the skill and you don't integrate it into a story...

Also like someone said before sims 4 doesn't have a store like 3 had. So, it's normal to have 17 stuff packs by now. Premium objects in the store were also niche, expensive and there were tons of it...

And this is coming from someone that didn't vote in knitting. I'ld prefer happy haunts everyday.

@telmarina this is exactly what I meant with seeing things from an outsiders perspective.

This is a DLC about knitting. It is simply about this one skill and it had like 3 animations in it. Imagine if DJing or fishing all had there own DLC...
Also it's not about quantity, it's the quality. The aspiration is again just a walkthrough for the pack and not an actual aspiration.
But these are just the standards we have as a community. We do buy DLCs dedicated just to a single skill with 3 animations and we even defend them. Those are the standards of a Simmer. If you look at any other game community you will see they all laugh at our low standards and our commitment to buying a pack fully dedicated to knitting. Other gamers don't put up with this stuff, just Simmers, and I think this is LGR's point.

Another sign of this is saying that 17 stuff packs are "normal". It doesn't matter if they are just on the store or normal packs 17 is just too many. But Simmers are they only people who will defend a game with 17 stuff packs. An outsider wouldn't and LGR wouldn't.
But these are the times we live in. Defending EA for delivering a stuff pack with 3 animations a skill and 2466 recolours of the same item.

Of course im comparing within the sims standards. We never had any other game as the sims. Let's hope for some competition and our standards may change.

I just don't understand how it is a disapointment now but it wasn't 10 years ago when the store was way worse... talk about niche, few and often bugged interactions and very expensive objects... Does LGR gets tired of reviewing 4's stuff packs? Imagine if he was to review the whole 3's store! That is basically what he's doing now, revoewing the whole 4's 'store'.
i actually think it got better now. And that's why i find it better than normal to have 17 stuff packs.

I can't talk about outside of the sims cause i don't play anything else. Haven't for 20 years. I did played before but got happily stuck with the sims :) I don't care about how other gamers look at us though. Other games imo have nothing to do with the sims.
