Default Matrix54 Explores The Sims 4
I got the Sims 4 a while ago while it was offered for free. Per EA's expectation, I decided to purchase a few packs while they were on sale and some bundles. I can see them rubbing their hands together now.

Previously, I hadn't really played the game much, just here and there. Now that I actually own it... my opinion hasn't really changed much. I've decided to actually do some mini reviews for pieces of content since I now own the game. This will be similar to my TISHRA threads. I never really liked the Sims 4, so I've never been excited about a release. I'm more of a builder and I approach the Sims 4 with that mindset - what can I build for my Sims?

However, I do like complaining and being overly meticulous, so that should be fun!

This post is only an introduction and I'll try to do these often.

I'll separate the introduction from the reviews and begin below.


Have a look at the Gallery and Forum builds first. The game seems to be adding build items per pack and terrain tools are still in development as far as I can see. It's still a work in process but some people have made fantastic builds from it. I couldn't compete.

I put beds and showers on my community lots so my sims's don't have to go home if they don't want to. It's like a free vacation.

I probably should have, but it was a new save. Had I been paying attention to her energy, I'd have at least put her on a bench or something.

When I explored, I got a bit annoyed how Sims don't really tend to their needs immediately.

I expect as much from that game. I don’t really have high expectations, and everything is pretty easy,

Also, I’m sorry for the delay in posts. Vacation and project planning.

Yeah. I got bored playing a particular household, so I wonder what things I could try out that would make fun to play. Any suggestion for a challenge or playstyle?

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

And to think selling stuff was such an in-depth skill in The Sims 2. Now you don't even have to try.

Wow... I haven't posted anything in a long time (that says a lot). I was going to go about remaking the base game TS1 lots. I don't quite remember why I stopped. Here's Goth Manor, looking like an actual Victorian home.

I should probably continue.
