There are plenty of heavily modded versions of The Sims 4 floating around the internet, but every now and then I stumble across one that makes me genuinely question whether we are all playing the same game. That was pretty much my reaction when I came across this player video from NishaImanSims. Life lately as…

I know, but I was really hoping for actual news. This has actually managed to increase my impatience.

I just said the exact same thing to myself. lol
wow click bait
Thank you, My daughter was just sayin that’s what she wanted amongst some other Things… I just miss the family celebrations, like graduating from school, the prom ,the Boy-scout awards and the dance recital….since its almost summer I hope this pack comes before June 20th……:D
Hopefully that acne is just part of a free patch. It’d be BS if they made you pay for something like acne.
Reply to moondax
The title says first look at the GP, so it’s from the GP; i.e. to get it, we’ll most likely be paying.
Reply to moondax
I think them patching this in could happen. It’s an overall small feature. Really hoping body hair returns as well.
Acne returns???
spring is near over what are they waiting on to announce it?
Reply to emile20
I guess the reason for not teasing it this week was to not overlap the new mobile game.
Oh, look. Something people have consistently asked for since release, and the only people commenting are here to complain about it. Maxis just can’t win, can they?
Reply to Daniel McNotMyRealName
I’m glad acne is coming back, I fear it’ll be as bland as The Sims 3’s acne (“here’s a non-cosmetic moodlet that’ll make you feel only slightly bad.”). It was so minuscule that I didn’t even know that Generations added it until accidentally stumbling upon it when I adopted a teenager.
I just think that most of the Sims’ fanbase is just incredibly hateful towards the thing they love.

Didn’t even know sims 3 had acne, and do have generations. But I Remember it from the sims 2.
Reply to Daniel McNotMyRealName
Lol, no one’s complaining about acne, we were told we’d hear more about the GP soon and only seeing acne is a bit… you know? I just want to know what it means. Personally, I’m impatient AF, but that’s because have high hopes for this GP and I’ve been dying for something for families. I haven’t seen anyone say they didn’t want acne though.
so all we’re getting is acne? lol
Reply to Diane Liza Sims
Yup, that will be $19.95 please xD

we really need game pack adding sth to gameplay I will buy game pack for sure, didn’t bought all stuff packs just 3 of them but I hope they will add system of reputation one day for example, preteens, laundry…. I cnt wait for new game pack it’s always some addon and spring will end soon so… let us know what it will be about 😉
Reply to Ania Gie
I only bought 2 stuff pks because I too want more gameplay. Not just furniture and well, Stuff.
I also don’t like how almost every sims interactions have the same exact gestures, No matter you’re telling a joke about politicians or about ducks it’s the same movement s.
Can they make teens actually Look like a teenager?
Reply to Cathy Henes
Maybe sometime we will get preteens, but the teens in the game now are here to stay. They can give them new content but can’t do much to redesign them. Plus teens in my area at least are as tall if not taller than most adults.
Oh yeah, you’re right! I remember the addition of the skin tones. Yeah, that’s most likely why they’ve shown us this first. So essentially, they most likely still haven’t shown us anything from the actual GP…
I totally agree with you. I really want more family interactions. My only issue is that I don’t feel like the children in the game are very… childlike? I’ve made posts about this on other pages to do with this pack, but I’ve got nothing against them adding preteens if they make the kids seem more like their age. And if they do, I hope the new life stage is free as well, for those who may not want this pack.
