Plumbellas review

Okay, so:

1.CAS & BB, what she says is only based on her taste (excluding the poorly done mask and the fact that alot of the outfits have unchangable shoes), because I liked alot of the CAS she showed and can use those BB objects for alot of builds...so that is subjective.

2. no new traits, yupp, that is disappointing

3. 2 new aspirations, this is good, they are more like tutorials? well....that is a trend that has started since at least Island living, I am not happy about it but I am not surprised either.

4.cool looking Aliens are just masks/costumes, I was hoping they were not so I am disappointed on that but can't say I didn't expect it tbh.

5.the world is mostly set dressing and not much depth...uh huh, sad to say I am not surprised either.

6.she is confused...hmm...I don't really know what to do with that one, is she easily confused? Will I be confused or will I be fine? I do not know, I can do nothing with that information, sorry.

7. repetitive gameplay/missions....hmm...TheSims repetitive? No, really the "eat,pee,work,sleep"-repeat game is repetitive? yeah, I was not expecting it to be exiting, but some missions seem to be kinda cool and still better than SV.

8. she encourages people who are interested in the BB/CAS to get some CC instead...well, Newsflash: Not everybody can use CC, even if they wanted to because console players + even PC players don't all want to use CC.

9. doesn't expand on aliens? well, it shouldn't! You shouldn't have to buy a pack to expant on a lifeform that came with a different pack! Dlc for dlc is a No-No.

In conclusion: not that much useable info regarding gameplay other than repetitive and confusing (to her), judgement on BB and CAS not applyable to everyone (matter of taste), all "let downs" unfortunately pretty much expected for they are the same as in previous packs.
Everything I saw, I can use, everything else I will still have to check out for myself so....still a buy.

Watch everyone pretend its amazing and just what they wanted anyway

Because they don’t want to admit they were wrong & look like a fool defending it as hard as they have lol

It happens every time, we tried to tell them...and they just lump us together as darn dirty trolls.

They will still justify it watch. Just wait lol

Let me be the first. :D

My intentions for this pack was to complete all the missions and then treat it as a vacation world. Those are still my intentions after seeing the Let's Plays. I'm no less excited to play it although I do understand some will be disappointed. Especially the builders.

Genuine question, what will you even do in the world to treat it as a vacation? There's nothing other than taking screenshots and pretending to be at an amusement park and having a BB8 as a 'toy pet'.

Nothing else.

The forums: Game Changers don't speak for us!

Also the forums: This Game Changer's review validates my opinion as the singular, objective truth!

You're literally further reinforcing our point. The fact that EVEN Gamechangers, who usually do as much as they can to find justification for the price and have a slightly leaned perspective due to not actually paying anything for the pack AND make money off of it when creating videos on the content, hate on it...That says A LOT.

Double post, crappy internet soz :D

I feel pretty much the same way. I like her and hers was one of a few reviews I used to get a better idea of the content, though I don't think she gave me that much on it this time that wasn't strictly subjective or expected. James Turner's review was the most helpful to me so far. But they all lead to the same conclusion, it's gonna be a 'meh' pack for me lol. I'm still buying, but now I know how to limit my plans with it and they're not going to be all they could have been.

You lists all the things you are disappointed with but STILL buying it? Okay, it's your money and you are allowed to..but I just have to ask...why?

Did you read the very last line?

well, I listed my thoughts on her thoughts, on what she showed us.
I will still buy because like I wrote: everything I saw, I can use and everything else I will have to see for myself.
Idk what is hard to understand about that.

This pack wasnt my speed even when i didnt know how lacking it was. But now? Aint no way. It has NOTHING. Nothing!! Not lots to build on. So its ONLY a day trip. No new life states. The "gameplay" is more of that stale "go here , do this" with ZERO reward other than a trash ???? light saber ! & its mostly just rabbitholes and yet ANOTHER bar! Bars! Because they're just soooo fun! Sims 4 sims are nothing but a bunch of pitiful alcoholics apparently. Not that i have anything against alcoholics, i love my margaritas and Daiquiris and occasional wine, but thats really all they ever include in these worlds. Lame ???? bars!

Ugh I wish we had real alcohol in the game or at least get a buff of having too many “juices” as it’s called now. This game is teaching young kids that you can drink as many as you want without any consequences

There's a mod for that. Can't link it though, since it's considered adult.

I love that she was honest. It is the reason I love LGR. I have been on the fence about this pack. I am still on the fence. I see things I could do, like use costumes, to make a weak Star Trek like neighborhood, with droids and light sabers (News: Star Trek steals Star Wars light sabers, more news at noon). But I would need to see more details on the costumes and other cas features. It also mean I would have to dredge through another boring vacation on a few sims for locked outfits and such (they could of done so much more with that vacation world honestly and that is sad that it shows a lack of creativity, but it does look nice).

I have to do dialysis most the day, and I am so fickle when it comes to games (genre styles). But need something to pass the time, while I await updates for Ooblets, and I get tired of GWS 2.

If it can fit the neighborhood I want to create, I might get it. If it can not, I won't. It isn't the masks or outfits... Its more of what I can do with it and how many bugs are installed with the GP. I will of course watch many reviews and also the forums. Not a buy right now, too many unknowns, need more information.

But much love to Plumbellas for keeping it real, that I can respect.

Edit to say: I loved the first 3 Star Wars movie and the rest that came years after put me to sleep..lol
