LGR Nifty Knitting Review

I do watch LGR reviews, and do base my judgement on what he says about Sims. A big percent of my decision are him and negative views (if the views of other simmers are laid out in a fashion and not I hate EA views). LGR suits the way I look at the game. Hmm... his view for me is we both love the older sims games and are not too impressed with the new version. He gives enough detail about the pack for me.. the other simmer (in forum) reviews top the notch.

I always go by negative reviews and then good reviews (even purchasing non game items). Die hard fans tend to over look the flaws or just make excuses for said flaws in any product. So, if a product sold 100,000. 90% of the reviews were high and the rest bad reviews, I would look at the bad reviews and weigh out the positive reviews on what I like or do not. I have won more than not doing this in all products I purchase and yes, I have not bought a product that had 95% positive reviews, because of negative reviews. Always inspect the negative before the positive and base on your style, want, and etc on what deems best for you. Not all popular things have been good on the human race.

Anyway, back to LGR’s review.
I respect him as a fellow human being.
I personally respect him as someone who does their job well.

I don’t agree with every single thing he says. That doesn’t mean I’ll go and send him a message to tell him he and all his followers are brainless.
I’m always ready to listen and think about what others have to say.

yes I think he does his job well to but I still don't think he cover all he should have in the pack
he didn't even talk about the things I like most about it and they were a big reason I bought the pack
he didn't talk about the interactions with the rocking chair my favorite part of the whole pack @CAPTAIN_NXR7
also I agree with you I don't like name calling @SimAlexandria I think we all agree people should be treated kindly
I think we all just got lost talking about what respect means to us or as Aretha Franklin would say R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me
don't let the name callers bother you they can't change what we think sims 4 is my favorite sims game no matter what they
say

I def agree sims 4 is the best version haha. And no worries. The name calling doesn't bother me when it's directed at myself.. But when it's directed at others and the person says they can call that person names cuz they haven't earned their respect yet.. That's when I feel like I should step in. Haha.

I think it totally makes sense to go by him if u usually agree with what he has to say. I don't so I don't go by him haha. But I also don't buy products based on percent of reviews so much as what the reviews say. I've found several wonderful long lasting products with a high amount of poor reviews but when you read them they were nothing to do with the product itself. Stuff like "this puzzle is too hard for my 3 year old" when yes, it's marked for age 3 and up but im buying for a 6 year old, arent going to affect me. With sims reviews if someone goes on about how terrible island living (my Fav pack) is because mermaids aren't that fleshed out but I'd never play mermaids... Or if tiny living has loads of bad reviews cuz the bed breaks too easy but I'm buying for the console and wouldn't use the bed.. Well the negative reviews become useless to me. So I don't go by them First.. I read them but usually last. And not at all for Sims products cuz everything is shown when I buy and I haven't found a single sim reviewer that normally agrees with my opinions. If I could find one I'd take their thoughts into consideration though lol

On the other hand my reasons for not liking lgr are nothing to do with what he says about the game haha

Personally, I do like his reviews. Sometimes I agree with comments he makes, other times I do not, but this is what happens to everyone else, right? I do not entirely base my buying of packs on his reviews, but he is funny and critical a lot of the time. Because I easily get bored with games in general, and The Sims 4 for that matter, I tend to find that I crave different things from a pack as my creativity changes. For instance, when Island Living was released, I was super excited about Mermaids and I ended up really liking them, even though they weren't as fleshed out as I'd like. But other times, I caught myself reminiscing about Sulani, its calmness and picturesque views -a world I hated upon release, mind you- and actually planning stories in my head for my next save file.

What I'm trying to say is that some Simmers, myself included, focus on different things at different times and most of the packs remain versatile even after weeks and months of constant gameplay. Well, mostly EPs and GPs, for obvious reasons. I know I've had my ups and downs with The Sims 4 -don't get me started on babies and family gameplay in general- but I often find myself discovering 'new' aspects of EP, GP, and yes, even SP features that I have overlooked during previous gameplay sessions.

Overall, I think he does what he does well and despite some disagreements, I respect him to the fullest extent.
