I don't get it. Is this a big problem, a middle-sized problem or a small problem?
You are just angry because it isn't CAW or re-done Babies.
It is just a new camera mode like the free camera used for screenshots. the way they described it, it doesn't sound like more than 3 people worked more than two days on it. Even a Stuff Pack takes multiple months for an entire team which has perhaps dozens of people involved.
two EPs in one year is a big deal for them.
Making Objects bigger was originally also such a joke that ended up as an official feature. And that might be just be switched numbers for the scale. And Builders found uses for it.
It's small, it can be fun, but if you set your expectations to "All my dreams will come true now", you will be disappointed no matter what.

Yeah, some people are treating this feature like a personal insult, which is a strange attitude to have about a video game.

Exactly
If you hate the game, why waste time and money to play it? Sims 1, 2 and 3 are still there and playable.
Sims 2 Base Game and several DLCs are still on the shelf in a store near me. (Or at least were when I was last there)

I posted a comment last night saying this was possible by using a cheat in the Sims 2, infact it was The Sims on PS2. I stand corrected.

Like I said, trust SimGuruKate saying it's "small but fun" not someone that needs more attention and views on YouTube.
The feature can be useful for some very specific moments and very specific type of player. I'm pretty neutral about it myself. Knowing that this was developed on the side and not as something official per se also helps with not being disappointed that they spent time in this when there's so much that needs to be added to the base game.
The patch itself is going to blow my mind regardless since it comes with terrain manipulation so...
One thing I didn't get was: what is so funny about it? What is it exactly what the gurus found so hilarious about this small feature? I was confused by that more than by the feature itself.

Not a feature I care for or will ever use hate first person games but it sounds like the majority of the work was done by SimGuruGhost on his off time so I wont lose a feature I'd actually use so no real loss or gain. This was nothing more then a "game change" hyping up people and getting more views on his video you really cant trust them they all love everything.

I think it was mostly just Steve who thought it was hilarious.

But agreed the terrain tools and self employment are definitely the real stars of the patch for me. And that is already a whole lot.

I'm ready for those. Can't wait for my archaeologist to be employed. Not sure how much ill use the terrain although it looks easier than in previous games.

Then I am very excited for the new EP with the reputation and all the other features.

I must say something sims 4 has been doing well is keeping all packs integrated instead of self contained.

Firemen, Burglars, Preteen, Cars.

I absolutely agree with your last statement! I like how when I buy new packs, features of others are expanded on. Like new events in the seasons calendar, for example. The only system they don't seem to do this with is the parenting system for some bizarre reason :D

It didn't work in his favour from what I can tell. I've just seen people claiming they are unsubbing and he still has around 3k views the last time I checked, quit a big difference to some of his other videos. I hope this time he learns that he is in a position where his views and comments he makes are influential and hyping something up to sound like it is going to be something that it's not, is not a great idea.
