My wife and I probably enjoyed sims 2 more than any other version in the series.

Haven't played Sims since the second one, but I kind of think these crazy overpriced expansion packs are still preferable to getting microtransactioned to death.

LGR

Yeeeeaaah, it was graphically cut-down even back when it launched in 2014. Six years later it's really starting to show its age.

LGR

Understandable! Think of it this way: Sims videos are the money-makers that allow more funding for all the other LGR Things. A necessary evil ;)

Good to see Fartwhistle Dingleprop still getting work.

ARGH!! More SIMS??? NOOOOOO!!!!! Sorry, not a fan.... :)

LGR

Will fix it! Thanks for the tip, fiend. Er, friend!

I am not a snob for graphics and visuals but seriously, TS4 and especailly this addon look HORRIBLE. I assume Clint ain't playing on a potato PC so this is maxed out. Horrible I say.

Hey there! Hate to be that guy, but you say "Green Friend" when it's actually "Green Fiend".

My heart wanted to see some SimCity elements woven into the game, like you mentioned in closing. Alas, that would probably be a whole new game and then you'd have to murder a new doll and stuff. Ah well. Video made me laugh and I had a great time. 😊

For real? They made an eco-themed pack where garbage is COSMETIC? How can they screw up something so basic? It's like making an Aquaman game where he dies when he falls on water. I mean, come on!

Great breakdown, I was on the fence about this pack, think I'll definitely wait for a sale now

The new dumpster woo-hoo location, because the only thing better than free love, is free tetanus. Lol.

LGR

Unintentionally but I'll take it 👍

LGR

Indeed, I try to evaluate each pack on its own merits. Although EA's pattern of piecemealing content is apparent too. It's one reason I can never recommended one of these packs at full price.

Truthfully, I want a dirty world to mix things up but definitely do not think this is worth $40. I was surprised you didn't comment more on what many in the community feel is piecemeal release of eco-related content e.g. tiny living, off-the-grid, laundry day, evolving world, this pack being doled out individually. But I guess you are reviewing this pack specifically and not the overall EA strategy. :) Makes sense...

Clint, you've become the link between my daughter (10, loves Sims) and me (41, loves retro tech). Now LGR is ALWAYS on in our house. Well played sir... well played.
