Small but insufferable things I hate about The Sims 4

I'm an evil Sims 4 hater many people know me as the guy that just hates on the Sims 4 and today I thought you know what I'm gonna prove all of you right whenever you load into a Sims 4 game for the first time go into gameplay options you'll see that neighborhood stories are enabled and if you go into manage worlds manage households and this icon up here you can configure neighborhood stories but the most confusing thing is in this game option it says neighborhood stories are enabled but then we go to manage households click on this Arrow icon which is about configuring neighborhood stories and you'll see that they're disabled are they enabled or are they disabled what the hell is going on in this game are there two different kinds of neighborhood stories if so why do they have the same name and the worst thing is these neighborhood stories are so weird if you turn on these neighborhood stories I swear to you will have every single Sims 4 townie at some point adopt a random child you'll find houses that only have one singular dog in them and no other Sims as occupants Sims are constantly moving to totally random houses it is a mess when they first integrated this they said that they would work on it over time although unfortunately as The Sims team do or don't do they introduce something say that they're going to update it and say they're going to work on it but they just abandon it because they end up releasing it in a broken State and they can't be bothered to fix it or deal with it so you want to turn these off here and remember to turn them off here as well Del Sol Valley the world of get famous is the worst you may already know how tragic Judith Ward's house is the ultimate five-star celebrity somehow lives in this monstrosity but it gets even worse did you know this house next door to Judith Ward's house has two bathrooms here but neither of them have toilets The Sims team forgot to add toilets into these builds and like can we just like look at this walk-in wardrobe this apparent walking wardrobe how severe is that the whole thing oh just look at it it makes me want to cry I just look at it guys many of us also know this base game monstrosity that came with the realm of magic pack absolutely horrendous I just think it shows laziness and a lack of care if you want people to truly care about your game and invest in your game why are you not investing in your own game yourself how can you expect your consumers to feel passionate about your game when you show no passion in the builds that you create yourself honestly I think as The Sims team did those couple of Towny refreshes rather randomly I honestly think that they need to do a housing refresh where they update every single building every single world I think it would make a huge difference for all simmers but of course they won't do it because they're not passionate about their own game they don't care but in an idealistic world it would be nice but they won't and that's why it makes me angry The Sims 4 has so many loading screens you load into a lot and you see a loading screen you then do a zoom into your sim as it starts alone again for a second time so the blue loading screen loads you into a loading animation to load into the world but then if you want to leave the world we load into the world load into the lot that you want to load into and then you load into the lot after the loading screen is loaded if you want to leave the lots and have your Sims go home the Sim does a walking animation what's actually happening behind the scenes here with the coding is that the loading screen is loading and now the loading screen has loaded it's loading you loading into the lot there's so much loading this game produces more loads than a guy on testosterone and creating combined I can't deal with it the Sims 4 Eco lifestyle is a bit of a weird and random pack to come out I remember when it came out loads of Sims 4 what the hell is going on with this but as with almost every single major Sims 4 pack there's almost always a base game update that comes with it with Eco lifestyle we've got a bills update so if you click on the Mega Box click on show bills information it shows your power and water and how you can either Auto sell it or you can store it it also shows a breakdown of lot taxes Power Water other taxes tax breaks and penalties it's a nice idea on paper to make bills seem a bit more realistic but this is basically unusable unless you own Eco lifestyle it literally doesn't do anything you require Eco lifestyle to actually manage your power in the first place rendering it totally useless hiding items behind switches you might be wondering what I mean by that and that is when certain items are hidden behind the Swatch of another item I would say one of the worst packs for this is high school years if we take a look at these posters for example it just you know we got a calendar and we got some posters with it lovely if you look at all of the different swatches for things here we got some more posters and we got some more but it's not just the posters that came with this and all of these posters are like very very different yet they're the same thing but the worst thing okay is things like this this is not a poster this is like a tapestry thing why is it hidden behind a poster Swatch we've got this flag thing as well it's totally different size and shape same with this one that came with high school years it just looks like records or CDs or whatever but as you go through it you'll see that everything is totally different like one Swatch is just these records on the ball but then we've got some black and white photos behind the same thing why are they behind this thing it just seems so weirdly inconsistent this is one from get famous don't ask me what kind of rug this is but as we go through the swatches you'll see that they're all completely random and different what relation do these two things after each other absolutely nothing I bet most of you didn't even know that this like soil thing here existed you could use it outside and make some kind of haunted build but you wouldn't know because it's hidden behind bloody Moshi monsters or whatever these are another Contender from high school years honestly it's the worst this one looks like a weird geometric rug but we also have a circular one we have a zigzaggy one we have eggs eggs on toast we have this pretty normal looking rug which is hidden behind this geode rug and you wouldn't know what they really need to do is just make an expandable build catalog and that would have resolved everything and make it more organized but obviously they won't and it makes me a little bit mad leaning from that onto my next Point weird things okay about the Sims 4 organization that I don't understand if you go to appliances okay you go to misc we've got a mailbox in the Miss Appliance why the hell is a mailbox a missed Appliance what kind of what kind of Appliance is a mailbox we've got bins in here we've got grass we've got pet food bowls we've got an umbrella stand I feel like the same steam just lazily Chuck everything into the misc option of a appliances because they don't know where else to put it even things like candles right under misc lighting you'll see that some of the candles are listed under there but other candles are listed as table lamps instead of misgliting some candles are even listed as misk decorations one thing that like really boils my piss okay if you go over to dresses you'll see we have all these different clothes here but you can't place them on anything in order to actually place these things down you go to surfaces and then you go to displays and then you might have something like this or we have something like this and then you go back to dresses and then you actually put them on it just seems like such a bizarre way to go about it I just don't understand it this seems full build by catalog is such a mess it makes no sense to anybody and with more and more stuff coming out with more and more packs it really is only getting so much worse form the Sims 4 is the only game to do this and I can't understand why you can just go into Cass and pick any outfit in the older Sims games you would have like one default outfit for each category but then if you wanted any more you'd actually have to go to the shop to buy them but in The Sims 4 you can't go to the shop to buy new outfits and it just makes no sense that they're all free wouldn't it be so much more rewarding to actually be able to buy clothes and you actually have to think carefully about what your Sims buy and what they wear it could even be integrated into gameplay like if you purchase more expensive clothes maybe your Sims would get I don't know compliments or something I just don't understand it's just not realistic in the slightest that they do it like this I feel like even in the seems mobile I believe you actually have to buy outfits so I don't know why they haven't integrated it in The Sims 4. if we do go over to appliances and misc appliances you'll find loads of bins in The Sims 4. we literally have a ton of different bins yet we haven't got One Singular bin that I actually want and that is a closed bin the only closed one we have is this weird looking alien one and the rest of them are fairly open why do we have fully open bins in The Sims 4 that are like so widely open why can't we have like a normal clothes bin that doesn't stink the house out in real life you would never have open bins like in your kitchen it just doesn't make any sense the economy The Sims 4 has the most Twisted weird economy I have seen in any Sims game it doesn't make any sense you know one window would be 10 simoleons but another similar looking one it's like a thousand simoleons there's no in between you don't understand why the actual cost of items doesn't seem to correlate with the amount of money that you get from jobs I feel like they make absolutely no effort with making the economy realistic I actually made a whole video on the economy because I was really passionate about it and I really wanted change so make sure you check it out to understand it more in detail otherwise thank you very much for watching I will see you in the next one
