Im trying and hoping this will be better than it sounds as its only a little leak, i was excited for country living but maybe it’ll come later. I feel like with the info they gave us, I’d be a nice game or stuff pack, almost like an add on to island living, fingers crossed.
Same I was hoping and excited for country living too!8
Me too I wanted farming
Well, I like it! And they actually DID listen to the community with this EP, cause we all voted on it way back.
And I for one was getting bored with the same formula repeated for every Sims game. They came up with something new and different this time. And I think it looks great and is likely to have some fun gameplay!!
Don’t have a cow man! Nor a pig, a goat or even a baby chicken. Obviously Greta Thunberg has been hired as the head of creative decisions at EA and is ready to kick us in the face with her carbon footprint. Of course this may be all a sly diversion for the “real” expansion pack. I get why people have such string opinions, I like others have been waiting desperately for an announcement of an exciting new expansion that will change the way we play Sims. Unortunatley we will just have to accept what they give us. Personally I have no interest in recycling or playing the Sims version of Parks And Recreation. But hey it could of been worse. It could have been Sims: Get Isolating.
I love what you wrote, it make me chuckle! I agree with your statements.
Fire the whole creative team.
Lol best comment ever I am very upset by this pack though it’s island living without mermaids basically with a new title my hubby is a games designer and even he would of come up with better and he doesn’t even play sims4 kind of disappointing I have bought every game pack to date but I don’t think I will buy this
I’m more of a builder and creator so I mostly care about build and CAS items lol. I’ve also never played sims 1, 2, or 3 so I have nothing to compare the current game to, I just personally wish there was a stronger fantasy element to it. I know most people prefer realistic gameplay but give me a sims version of Game of Thrones and I’d be all set! I want dragons and castles and fantasy outfits!! I understand this would probably be more of a game pack.
So for me, the idea of a farming pack wasn’t the most exciting idea but I figured I’d be able to incorporate it into a medieval/fantasy setting. Plus the horses would be perfect for my Beauxbatons build I’m working on for Harry Potter lol. I do like sci-fi as well so perhaps I can incorporate this pack into a futuristic, post apocalyptic style! I am interested to find out what they have come up with and I know they can’t please everyone. I guess for me, I am big into eating clean and recycling but I don’t want a game about it – its like making a game about toilets – I use toilets but I don’t want to spend my time playing with one lol.
We shall see! I am just happy to get some new items and features to play with so whether I’m geeked about the pack or not, I’m still getting it! ha
They do have sims medieval if your interested in that.
There’s is a sims medieval expansion
There is a Sims Medieval game, you know. That’s a completely separate game.
The Sims 3 had a world called Dragon Valley which was Medieval, but I don’t think a concept like that would transfer over to the sims 4 as nicely because you can visit all the worlds at any given time so they would need to at least be in the same time period. Maybe if we got a time traveling pack we could go into the past, but I feel like it’s easier to create the future rather than the past.
snooze ea this is all the same we don’t want eco living we already have a bunch of that kind of stuff we DONT WANT IT
Can EA hire new idea people please? Get rid of the hipsters and hire real gamers. They will tell you what we really want.
Seriously! 20 year player here and I can give lists upon lists of simple improvements and ideas
We already have a bunch if outdoor packs… we want an EXPANSION PACK like the sims 3 generations…. I love the sims 4 but we already have so much outdoor stuff and young adult stuff…. we want stuff for elders and teen stuff and children stuff and toddler stuff and make babies not objects. Every simmer would love a generations pack….
I agree!!!
I just wanted chicken
Same i just want to raise chickens
The Sims 4 is so meh at this point, I really thought they’d be adding new stuff more frequently like when they patched in pools and ghosts not long after launch.
It’s okay Animal Crossing truly has my attention and for a fraction of the price lol.
Me too, I haven’t touched this game once since Animal Crossing dropped.
I want horses and improved babies not whatever this is come on EA you can do better than this
Eco loving sounds like a snore…. like I don’t understand how they can ignore their community so much?! We want chickens!!! We want farms!!! We want animals!!! We DON’T want an expansion pack for an expansion pack(example: sims pets and then their stupid idea to make people pay for small animals, when that should have been included to at least make up for not having horses!!)
WORD NAT!!
Maybe this some bs to get our minds off of country living! But, supposedly a new world comes with ECO living so maybe it will be fun…
An expansion pack about environmental friendliness, in a game about collecting as much stepford housewife clout as possible.
That’s not conflicting interests at allllllll.
This sounds horrible
Wow why is everyone complaining before you even find out what the pack involves? It can still involve farming. Sustainable food growing involves growing your own food. And having your own chickens & livestock is better for the environment than having a big production of beef etc. And reminder, you don’t have to buy it if you don’t like it, but personally I’m looking forward to seeing what the pack involves.
You can understand our side though, I personally don’t wanna farm. I want family stuff, their will probably be good things in it, but family gameplay is what I mainly use. After building, everytime I play as a sim they always have kids and their is nothing to do with kids.
Also, I think this type of thing is more gamepack, for expansion pack I want that I can use a lot.
No. If there were farming gameplay in this, the blurb would mention it for sure.
Totally agree with you!! God why so negative already
Hi, can we all go on strike and not but this pack? We don’t need more eco friendly stuff, at least not in an expansion
I wont buy it. Nor will i buy the knitting pack. I am striking with you.
Country living would of been way better please give us farms
I’ve played all the sims 1, 2, 3 and 4…honestly still wishing for the sims 4 to be more like the sims 3! I miss the feature when you were able to walk your sim from your home to any lot…and saw the car driving from home, less loading and waiting. Even the University expansion pack was better. Honestly being more and more disappointed with the creators.
Don’t fall for its trailer – they’ll try win us over with all the fancy special effects, but we must resist! However good it looks, it’ll only try cover up the lack of actual ‘stuff’ – if previous expansions are anything to go by, what they’ve said in the description is pretty much all we’re getting!
should have been called ECO living like keep it consistent (Island living, city living,etc..)
I don’t want ECO living EA could have added way more in a farming pack
i don’t get it a farming expansion would have way more content then eco living why would EA do this?
Right now it kinda sounds like a story type pack (like strangerville)
I will quit playing this game completely if this pack is anything like strangerville. They need to listen to players for ONCE
They did listen to the players. Back in 2017, the community voted for Eco living as a general theme. It was what we wanted, and now they’re giving it to us
I was so ready for Country Living. I hope this is good.
I’ve been playing The Sims since the very beginning of Sims 1. I recently got The Sims 1 running again and it reminds me how little true inventiveness, charm, and deep gameplay are in the current iteration. Eco Living will be the first Sims 4 pack that I do not buy. They need to add the charm, surprises, deep and unexpected gameplay as well as the cheekiness of the original back. I saw that the current developers brag that they have never played The Sims 1 and they don’t play the current Sims 4 iterations. Given this statement, it’s no wonder the game has become a boring, disappointing slog.
Well, another one that sucks. Great.
All I’ve ever wanted was werewolves.
I…Really? I got enough eco-friendly content in tiny living, thank you. I thought “Nifty Knitting” was going to be the worst of it.
Yawn…. Have they been paying any attention at all to the surveys people have been filling out?? This is so disappointing, a stuff pack maybe, for this stuff, but an expansion pack, really?? I won’t be wasting my money, that’s for sure
The Sims franchise has really fallen off. I used to play My Sims, Sims Bustin’ Out and Sims 2 as a kid and remember it being so much fun. (I never had the liberty of playing Sims 3 though.) Sims 4 is like a shadow of it’s formerself. The expansion packs are so boring and unfulfilling. Most of these expansion packs are not worth 40 dollars. I have a feeling this will be one of them.
Wow! How did they know I wanted to pick up trash and recycle in a virtual world!?! This really helps me escape reality…. Someone on the ideas commitee is about to get fired lol this is going to flop soooo bad!!
did EA even think about a farming pack or they don’t listen to sims fans.
Very underwhelming not every millenial wants this in thier game sure these issues are important but I’d rather actually make a difference in real life than in a game thats suppose to be fun! I play to forget we are destroying the planet not be reminded of it I really hope this is the last of the eco bullshit. I want actual depth to my game and sims something that actually makes me want to play the game this isn’t it. Didn’t seem like you could do a whole lot. I shall be passing on this missed opportunity what a shame.I mean sure it’s great you can change thier environment but I’d rather do that where it would benefit me not my sims
I can’t believe how blatant your disregard for the sim community is. Who wants this washed up, after-thought garbage? Not me
ladders people ladders!!watch the trailer
besides youtubers like plumbella like it and think its cool dot like dont buy and get over it who knows maybe the upcoming gamepack will be farming
can you guys pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee try abd get cc for the sims4 ps4 pleaseeeeeee
I’m glad to see that I am not one of the only ones disappointed in the next expansion. I was truly hoping for Country Living or something more to do with farm life. Nothing will change as long as there are people who still buy the packs. I loved Sims 3 and hope that maybe we will have a farm expansion coming up…
same
Well, I like it! And they actually DID listen to the community with this EP, cause we all voted on it way back.
And I for one was getting bored with the same formula repeated for every Sims game. They came up with something new and different this time. And I think it looks great and is likely to have some fun gameplay!!
I’m not terribly concerned about the gameplay aspects of this, but there seems to be a lot I can use for my comic.
Still waiting on a farming pack
Bring out a farming one!! Where you can actually have cattle and own a ranch!!
Also bring back the cars
I love the sims I have played the sims 1-2-3-4 and sims freeplay and sims mobile and it seems lately the entire “Sims” team has really not put much effort into updates and game packs lately. Currently playIng Sims4, SFP, SM and ALL of them keep coming with this crappy outdoor stuff bushes, flowers and outdoor furniture then few months later same crap as before just different color and different name. So many possibilities and we get a carbon copy of the last game packs, Island living mixed with tiny living. Farming, Generations, Open Schools, outdoor Sports, Ski resort, infants that we can actually do something with the list goes on and on and we literally get dumpsters and garbage and CAS items that look that they got them from the dumpster….. Not wasting my money on literal garbage!!!!!!
A lot of the features were leaked two years ago. Remember this? https://simscommunity.info/2017/06/23/the-sims-4-eco-living-vote-for-gameplay-features/
Check the ideas on the whiteboard.
For the eco life style pack it says it will come out June 5th at 6 but it’s still not here
An eco themed expansion? That sounds very boring in my opinion
I mean, Country Livin’ sounds far more interesting, beside, having our sims live on a farm and only using off the grid stuff, even if the toilets ends up being those bushes from Get Together, it would still be eco friendly and way more fun
Famous Sim YouTubers have made farm houses already and we get a eco themed expansion?
Who else thinks that this got to have something to do with the pandemic going around or something?
I appreciate the hard work of every person developing The Sims 4 but seeing this title makes me kinda dissapointed to be honest… That’s personally my opinion but the TS4 lacks a lot more than just an environmentally friendly lifestyle. (don’t get me wrong I love the sims games and I’d probably give it a try) That’s just my thoughts on the title :/
This is literally a watered down version of conservation in island living. Why do we need this??
smh I care about these issues but.. in a game? I have so many questions.. Are they trying to help me save money? Because they’re certainly doing thier part Like please stop with this enviromental crap and give us a theme we’d actually enjoy for once and stop having these stupid votes. Like I am in no means entitled but what happened to my horses maybe my sims want a pony 🙁
sounds lame 🙁 we wanted farm life, horses, cows and chickens!
Eco living in a video game? LoL look at our Gaia right now. We can’t even take care of her.
This sounds way too much like the Conservationist Career from Island Living…
I guess we’ll see tomorrow with the trailer.
I’m honestly sorta excited for this. I know most of you think that it will be similar to Island Living, but I think different. Maybe it has something to do less then cleaning up trash and *POOF!* your Island’s clean, but kinda more like keeping your air clean, eating healthier, using less gas, etc.
Really?! I was really really looking forward to a Country Livin type expansion pack…. oh well maybe it’ll be good 🙂
