So, apparently another Sims 4 "Game Pack" was released entitled The Sims 4 Perfect Patio Stuff. Now i'm not hating but the game doesn't seem to add that much, so yet again i'm sorry EA but i think i'll pass on this one and wait for another full-on expansion. Wasn't the Hot Tub in the original game base of the Sims 1 & 2?
Hot Tubs Are Here!
Add hot tubs to create the perfect outdoor space for your Sim’s home with The Sims™ 4 Perfect Patio Stuff! Fire up the new grill for a delicious cookout and slip your Sims into some fashionably casual clothing. With the all-new hot tub, your Sims can melt away their stress and kick back for a relaxing day in the sun.
KEY FEATURES
• Relax in the all-new Hot Tub – Take a dip in the hot tub after hard day or splash around with friends. Handy Sims can upgrade each hot tub to include a stereo and even aromatherapy!
• Chill outside, pool-side – Set-up an open-air lounge area by the pool with a variety of stylish furnishings and décor. Heat things up on the new barbeque grill and serve up some refreshments at the new patio bar.
• Dress down to kick back – From swimsuits to slim-fit polo's, choose from a collection of comfortably chic apparel. Top off your Sims’ laid-back look with new hairstyles.
In all honesty:
I have The Sims Get To Work and i no longer even make my sims go to work, as it's became boring, too little features and the games become unplayable.
What would i like to see in the Sims 4?
1. Toddlers
Now the creators of the game act as if they are unable to do this... which is untrue... all they have to do is "TWEAK THE GAME BASE" and if they are saying they can't... well they can, i'm sure they'd be able to add another aging process they have done it 100 times before, and if they did they'd get good publicity, because that's all everyone ever talks about is Toddlers, Toddlers, Toddlers!
2. Pets
Amazing feature, makes the game fun, and who cares if it's classed as "being" repetitive a world without pets is just boring.
3. Seasons
Loved the rain, snow, different seasons, needs to make a comeback.
4. PS4 & Xbox One Releases
Hopefully EA and Maxis are working on the console ports, because i think the sims has reached it's limit on the PC.
Peoples Opinions:
Time for others opinions because mine alone is not enough.
Michaela Steele and Lina Bee and Ellen Lindquist wants pets, Steele also wants supernatural... which makes perfect sense as she looks like she's into witchcraft. Bang Yong Guk a Korean man with a big o'l sunhat states everyone is complaining about Toddlers, but what EA needs is "LOCKABLE DOORS" and i agree with him 100 percent, where are the lockable doors? But then again if people don't keep bringing up Toddlers in comments EA won't get the point that, this is what the public "WANT". And yes EA/Maxis know, the main problem with this is... are they going to act upon it? Or leave it, it's their choice, but trust me without a few features, people then start to get bored, and then the creators will have to move onto The Sims 5. And trust me when EA claimed they'd stop making the series, it was more or less a scare tactic, because if they made another sequel to the gaming history, it'd be completely different. Or maybe The Sims 4 is the last piece in the puzzel?
Janet Woodbeck thanks the new game pack but wants to know more about the next expansion pack, yup me too! Lianne MacLean states the game is awesome but forgets that her Facebook page states that she actually works for EA. Christopher Hurd can't seem to download his copy, well Christopher i think i can help you on that one, but in future be sure to go straight to EA Help, the place where i too learn't the information needed to install game downloads that just didn't download automatically.
