I. Am. Not. Impressed. We legit got Off the grid with island living and if it wasn’t in depth enough do a fix on the pack don’t make me pay £40 for another pack to get what we got in island living. I’m also really mad at the person who made the whole Country living fake thing because it seriously got my hopes up ACTUALLY being able to make myself and live how I live (on a farm and taking care of horses and other farm animals) . The sims advertises themselves with many reasons to play one of which being “Live your life” but I can’t do that without having one of the MAIN points in my life! I would much rather spend £40 on a pack I want and would use than £40 on a pack that was included in another £40 pack.
I think maybe stay open to it, they don’t go into much detail here and it may still have some sort of farming vibe to it “fingers and toes crossed!” I also really really want a farming pack for the same reason you do
.-. I want cute goats
I am not unhappy about this. I don’t know if you’re aware, but you don’t HAVE to buy any of the packs.
Well Amber, I’m not sure if you’re aware, but saying “yOu DoNt HavE to Buy thE PAcK” contributes NOTHING to the conversaion and is a weak ass rebuttal to valid opinions and criticisms of the game. WE *KNOW* that we don’t have to buy the pack. I’m assuming most people here are probably not going to buy it to begin with. You stating so literally changes NOTHING about the decision people already made. That doesn’t mean people can’t voice their opinion that they are disappointed. Just say you have no valid rebuttals and go.
Trust, I understand. For people saying you don’t have to buy it, why are you bothered by someone who wants to voice their opinion on something they’re hoping to support? Complaints mean they wanted to get it and it falls short. Which it does.
I’ll end up buying it because I love the sims, the only thing I couldn get behind is that pets stuff pack. There still isn’t much known so hopefully there will be features that will make up for this at least in my eyes.
I’m interested to learn more about it, but tbh it doesn’t even sound remotely fun so far. “Watch your neighborhood transform” – if this is the same thing as when you transform the neighborhood in Sulani or whatever its name is, then it’s not really a thing to be proud of. That one was really underwhelming.
But, let’s not be negative until we see and learn more about it.
Honestly, EA! Enough with the carbon footprint stuff. That’s real life and this is a game. Besides as everyone has pointed out we have this stuff already. Conservationist Career?! I’m being honest here, my sims already have too many outfits so knitting? Really?! A rocking chair?! I still want a private island where no other sims can come to without an invite. With 4 lots only. A real Mystery to solve and more things to unlock an example would be a tomb raider style adventure with things to explore and great mysteries hidden. Farming would have been better! How about traveling to the park with your infant in a baby carrier on a baby blanket? I mean…so many other choices. I don’t mind not having cars I know that S4 is not set up road wise for cars, but you could easily do a subway system. Sorry if this sounds like a rant but I do love the sims despite all of this.
It sounds so boring
I’m trying to stay open-minded but this sounds like it could potentially be the worst expansion pack ever. Tomorrow’s trailer should be interesting!
Are you kidding? This is just Island Living without the mermaids and that was the best part! SO disappointed, you could have given us anything but you went with a rehash of what we already have. Who said we wanted this? I also remember being promised something “unlike anything we have done”. Really?
That was the game pack. And I still feel that ea has a few tricks up it’s sleeve for the trailer. I THINK this one MIGHT include farming
Good thing I didn’t anticipate this pack to be anything remarkable. A full-on expansion pack? No. This series is just rapidly going downhill. And with another pointless stuff pack dedicated to “knitting” I really don’t know why I even bother keeping up-to-date with The Sims 4 anymore. Paralives is starting to look even better right now.
You know that has not been done in any game play and as a knitter I am excited. Plus later when they do make better babies I can make blankets for them. I didn’t complain about the tiny house b.s. so lay off fiber art at least we get to sell crafts in a new way.
While I really enjoy the SIMS 4, I’m not the kind of person who has to own every expansion or pack. This means if this ends up not interesting me I simply won’t purchase it. And you shouldn’t either. Buy & support content you enjoy, if EA isn’t making money off of things because the community is not interested then the developers will have to change their strategy to create content that is sellable. Because at the end of the day EA is a corporation & have a bottom line to meet.
Lolol…seriously??? Omg….if this ends up being $40; I’ll pass. I realize they wont care, but in all honesty they should because this “expansion” thing is going from bad to much worse!!
It would have been fun to get like a royalty pack
I am excited to see what this pack holds although it is very annoying that THIS is the pack they’ve chosen to make. SO MANY people have voiced their opinion over MANY YEARS about what they want in a pack and very little of it has been worked on. If it were up to me, I would want WAY BETTER BABIES it seems illogical that our sims should have to worry about a carbon foot print and knit before we make and entire LIFE STAGE more fun to play. This is just my opinion although I’d love for someone on the sims team to take note of it since I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.
Isn’t that exactly like Island Living gameplay? Very disappointed and I love the vast majority of packs. People voted in the 2018 poll for farms. Why not farms?
I’m really disappointed, I expected cows, goats, pigs … horses to come! I was looking forward to farming, because it was missing in ep cats and dogs, it froze me a lot, so I hoped that you would come later with farm animals, but as I see it, it will be a useless ep again, which will really make me sad. Maybe you should perceive the player more and I doubt very much that someone wanted eco something … generations and country livin is a lot wnated and asked …lucky that the game paralives comes out… there will be at least have more options.
I think that this ep could be a lot of fun. I’m also really happy it’s not just going to be farming because if I wanted to farm in a video game, I would just play Farming Simulator.
This is comparable to that of receiving socks on Christmas after constantly saying how much we wanted a shiny new toy.
i hate the fact that everyone commenting is so negative about the pack? it sounds interesting!!! i cant wait to see where they take this pack!! its good to include it in the game so people realize whats happening on earth rn. stop being so negative and give it a chance. no one is forcing u to buy the pack. get over urselfs
Well I hate the fact that your complaining about others complainants. Just ignore and mind your business if you’re annoyed by others opinions.
Doesn’t sound very interesting. I’m tired of them not putting their all in a pack, letting down old school simmers. I’m not giving them any of my money and I’m at the point where I’m just saying I want paralives
Underwhelmed for sure…Sulani already had things like this but with only two lots off the grid. Hubby just gave me an idea though to save it for homeless challenge and torture of less than likeable Sims. If it’s like the doomsday prepper or cool new plants? Yeah I’ll try it.
It looks like it might be an expansion pack that encompasses all the things from this –
https://simscommunity.info/2017/06/23/the-sims-4-eco-living-vote-for-gameplay-features/
We even have some of the things already from the whiteboard screen shot but look at the vote descriptions, they all look like they could be included in Eco Living (except for the laundry day stuff since that’s already out).
Country Living better be a Game pack cause this ain’t it.
Who said there is going to be no farming? Growing your own produce is eco friendly…
How lackluster? Would be cool to see how your decisions affect the world but I need something better. That could be a game pack not an expansion.
Urgh really?! Country living! Horses! That’s what we want! Come on this is torture, waiting!
I have to say because I’ve seen a lot of hate about the knitting themed pack. I honestly am excited for it because I actually knit.
BUT!
I am not interested in this eco lifestyle”expansion” pack at all. There’s already been eco living stuff in the game and honestly… It doesn’t interest me.
If it was country living like the fake leak had said that’d be great! I’d be more excited!
Because I actually live that lifestyle.
But this …. So underwhelming.
Yess!!! Cant wait!!! Great work EA!!
WTF? I am so so sooooo disappointed 🙁 🙁 🙁 I cannot even put it in words 🙁
I feel like you can already have an eco lifestyle using the laundry stuff pack, tiny living stuff back, & island living. I also agree with Pixelade when he said that this have been a game pack instead, but I am still looking forward to this pack. I am excited for the CAS & build mode items if it’s anything similar to the laundry day pack.
This is fucking stupid
This was one of the options on a previous voting for stuff pack. It didn’t make it for stuff pack, so you’re making it an expansion pack? I’m really underwhelmed with this.
This will be the first expansion pack that I do not buy. How about coming up with something new instead of copying code for existing packs? I just managed to get Sims 1 going again and the more I play with it, the more I see how far the franchise has fallen.
I’m very excited for this pack, I like to live eco friendly and it’ll be fun to see my sims do it in a non-beach centric world. And as for farming, I am totally fine with or without it in the game. Plus there may be horses to ride or using your farm animals for natural fertilizer or something. Give the gurus time to give details before y’all decide this is be all end all of the sims and chill!
I seem to be in the minority here, but I’m really excited for this pack. I really enjoy this type of game play, and if it’s done well I think it could be really fun. I wasn’t super excited for a farming pack anyway, so this personally suits me a lot better. However, I do hope that the decisions made whilst playing have more of an impact than the conservationist career had in Sulani, because I don’t think it went nearly indepth enough. I’m still super excited though, I can’t wait to see the trailer!
People are so negative about everything good grief.
Give the pack a chance? Or don’t buy it? The Sims Team are giving us surveys and they are listening to us. They gave us toddlers, pools, seasons, university… Give them time and they will give you what you want. Stop being so negative when a lot of people are interested in this pack? Get a life like lol.
“jUsT dOnT BuY It”.
I hate when this “argument” is used against every single valid critisim regarding the direction of the game. You realize you can have an opinion about being displeased AND have no intention about buying it to begin with, right? Sorry guys, only nice comments allowed for those who are buying.
“They gave us toddlers, pools, seasons university ”
Wow, amazing! They patched in toddlers and pools, features that were already supposed to be in the game to begin with! These are NOT new features that were recently introduced to the series. These were features that they intended to have in the game from the start, but had to be patched in later because they needed to rush development for launch. They weren’t “listening” to us, it was always going to be implemented. Using pools and toddlers is a horrible example of the point you’re trying to make.
And of COURSE they did a Seasons and University EP, like have they have been for years. No one had any doubts that they wouldn’t re-release arguably their 2 biggest cash cows, besides Pets, for the series. Come on now.
Honestly, if these are the standards of how you think the dev team is listening to the fan base, please raise the bar because it’s on the floor.
Word
Disappointing – doesn’t seem interesting in the least…. A waste of an expansion
I really appreciate you saying this
I’m really excited! I think there is a lot of potential for this pack and look forward to the trailer tomorrow!
What a terrible pack. EA, you have truely missed the mark again
Wow an entire expansion dedicated to this? Sure, it’s different, but I literally have no interest in this theme at all. Was there a big demand for this theme to begin with? The direction they’ve been going has been so disappointing. I’m glad I haven’t bought anything from them since Seasons.
Wait, what was all the Future Cube stuff about then?
Maybe that was about the upcoming Game Pack?
I am not exactly impressed… I thought we were going to get a farming pack!
Although, I am intrigued to see what features this pack actually holds. To me, this sounds like a Game Pack!!
Honestly, kinda disappointed. I was super hyped for the supposed country living pack because that seems like so much fun. Plus with the possibility of horses and other farm animals with that pack, it just makes me want it more. I want to be able to have ALL my pets in game, not just cats and dogs. Sims 3 had horses with the Pets pack, so why not Sims 4? Sure the knitting pack is cute, but seriously? EA you’re losing your touch… Eco living just sounds like a small extension to island living. If you wanted to add all this, why not add it to island living? I would’ve rather had basically anything but this. EA step up your game, this is not what we want. We have been expressing what we want for YEARS. EA come on!! If you want these things to sell, make things we want.
This is so not interesting. I heard it was going to be farming. I thought the farming pack was the pack that would finally get me playing sims4. Guess I’m sticking to sims3. This pack sounds boring
i just wanted to finally ride horses and play with goats….
And once again EA disappoints. Thought they were actually interested in giving simmers what they wanted, what with these in-depth surveys, but no, they’re still rehashing the same boring ep with a new £40 price tag. I was hoping they’d step their game up, especially when the quality stuff CC creators make put them to shame.
I mean . . . I’ll play it and I’m sure there will be some things about it that I like, BUT I am somewhat disappointed we’re not getting the farm pack. Farming has been one of my favorite things to do in The Sims since TS3 and horses were a really nice addition to that game.
I’m kind of interested to see the trailer tomorrow but I’m definitely disappointed. They mentioned this 0ack will be something that they haven’t done before but I’ve seen this in previous packs… wth.
Although I doubt I’ll be buying this, you gotta give EA credit that they are trying to be environmentally conscious in their own way and trying to spread a positive message. Save our earth!
Man, I’m disappointed. Tfw sims 3 expansions are still better than 4
im so exited for this being an big environmentalist!
also I dont care what other say they need to get a grip if you dot like it dont buy it
thanks, we hate it
I just wish memories came back so I can see the history In my sims lives an more maternity clothes for the pregnant sims.
