People are nuts for weather! Seasons adds different weather by neighborhood, and different weather-based activities like building snowmen, ice skating, or showering (yes, showering) in the rain. Seasons was another highly anticipated expansion pack for The Sims 4. A party game pack might have gone over better, but paying expansion pack prices for a dance floor and a DJ skill is definitely disappointing if that’s all you get out of it. If you don’t use clubs, or aren’t interested in getting creative with them, this pack really isn’t worth the price tag.We also got two new woohoo locations with this pack, although one of them is a bush you can also use as a toilet, so that can go wrong pretty quickly. It has an eclectic blend of neighborhoods, the timber-framed houses are quaint as heck, and the addition of the bluffs and the ruins as sort of “party spots” was very clever. Windenburg is one of the best worlds in The Sims 4.I love this pack, but a lot of people don’t and I can see why, which is why it’s lower on the list. They can be useful – make all your kids do homework together, make a lot of friends (or enemies), keep track of your queue of daddies for the 100-baby challenge, etc. Clubs were the real selling point of this pack. Dancing! Clubs! Foosball! Fire dancing! What a great way to breathe life into your game when it’s starting to feel like it needs a boost. Get Together is the expansion pack for sims who love to party. Overall it feels like they put all the resources for this pack into the aesthetics and didn’t do much playtesting. Additionally, Sulani is a very friendly community, meaning your neighbors are constantly coming over, bringing food, and starting events. As a matter of fact, a lot of aspects of this pack are glitchy – many animations are recycled from old packs, and some new animations just don’t work correctly. Much like the rest of the pack mermaid sims can be pretty, but pretty doesn’t add gameplay. As an occult, mermaids just fall flat.
This pack also added an interesting new career as well as a couple of part time jobs, something the game was lacking. There’s a picturesque waterfall, the ocean is a sparkling blue, and the beaches look warm and inviting. Still, this pack ranks low against the competition. We got a new island world, and the items that came with this pack are quite different than anything we had in the game before, adding nice diversity to both building and create-a-sim. This 2019 summer release did bring a nice change of scenery to a game that tends to be dominated by different styles of residential neighborhoods. Cleaning up furballs from a pet you have no emotional connection with is, shockingly, a lackluster activity. Their actions are repetitive, the “training” skill is tedious, they get sick constantly, and you have no control over the pet itself. But once you have the pet in your household they’re just…boring. You can mix and match a handful of traits, and the appearance is quite customizable.
The pets, the whole point, basically do nothing.You can even woohoo in a lighthouse! The ability to adopt stray pets is a really sweet feature, and the build/buy and create-a-sim items for this pack are very good.
