yeah definitely has a nostalgia factor

Awesome! I hope you end up enjoying it

welcome!

welcome, yeah it's hitting some nostalgia for me too honestly

Yep, some on campus events - but that did include a wedding here or there, and conferences. I also worked for catering for a waterpark. That was quite interesting

that's so awesome, props to your son!

@@SimmerErin yes, he made me cry when he set it up yesterday. 💞💞

Great idea! I actually have covered sims 3 generations a few times :) but I do think it'd be fun to talk about sims 3 and 2 more, even show some gameplay

awesome, let me know what you end up thinking (you can comment on any future video ha)

Oh cool, thanks for the recommendation

@@SimmerErin Sure, there's also Wild West Dynasty, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and Hogwarts Legacy. And then a game called Lies of P that is scheduled to release in August.

yeah, definitely! I've half considered a sep channel just to cover indie games because i think there are a lot of good ones out there that not enough people hear about

@@SimmerErin perhaps you can make it a series, that way people that dont care to find new things can choose not to watch the series, that's will also make it easy for people to find these videos in addition to being on a playlist

it does look fun, obviously there have been other games with this sort of niche but this seems more detailed than most

it's an awesome concept; the coding is messy

, is it any fun?

@@SimmerErin Yes it was. Even my rage-quitting daughter liked it. 🤭

Yeah it's certainly a niche game- and that would be my hope. Yeah, it's like I know these videos tank, but it's also fun to branch out here and there. I just guess I have to experiment a bit

@@SimmerErin Fingers and toes crossed for you.

yeah, definitely seems like a slightly more involved idea from that. Hope you enjoy!

Oh I really missed that didn't I ha. That's kind of cool that they already have dlc

Seen a friend or two of mine play. It's not an over the top seeming game, but seems fun in a fair simple way.

Let's be real, dine out needs a bit of an update., if not more features, just some fixes for the AI> I honestly really like the game pack and think it has a lot more potential

I fully agree, I honestly, don't see why Dine Out get all the hate. Sure, it has it's short comings. But, nothing a worthwhile update couldn't fix.

yeah totally fair! It's very niche

Yep! I worked at a waterpark and through my college. Conferences, a wedding here and there, business meetings and so forth . Being in the kitchen is fun and stressful ha

ooh what's that about

@@SimmerErin you grow your own worlds from seeds that you craft in your alchemy pot. It's a "farming" game. But each world can be so unique depending on which essence you use to grow it. I just love it!

honestly, that's very appreciated. thank you so much, I hope you're doing okay

yeah, I wish some of these games got a bit more attention. There are so many out there that I think offer charm, but few seem interested.,

I love dine out, honestly. I know it's very flawed, but it's a good pack to have even just to take sims out

No, I know what you mean, and in general, I just like seeing variety. I am encouraged to see more in the simulation and cozy genres, even niche ones

I want to see more cozy, simulation and story base games. Because that's what am a fan of. But, I want to see more then just that. What about a town Simulator? That would could be a cross between the Sims and Sim City. Or X-Men game. Where you build your own mutant. In a mixed experience of drama and action though Xavier's school of gifted Or a game : Where you talk to famous figures across history. About their work. My point, being. Video games are still limited. In a time, when they should be using stories and movies. Like "Ready Player 1 " and "Free Guy "as inspiration. We may not get there tomorrow. But, we should start building the pathway today. So, at least it's a possibility.

I'm not sure. I want to expand my channel a bit, but it's really tricky

agree, I think it makes sense where the emphasis of graphics is. I never played diner dash, but it did make me feel nostalgic too ha I had no idea DD had a spongebob version

I think they're just fine for the game :)

totally get that. What would be fun is to have a super sandbox version of this too- where you can sort of just goof around oh cool! My father loves puzzle games so I'll probably pass those names along to him

So nice of you, I really appreciate the kind comment

fair enough, I know it won't be for everyone. Yeah, it does a bit, I feel the graphics are a tad nostalgic

@@SimmerErin It's what is currently the most common in games, so it makes sense they would use it. (It goes back to the use of Unreal Engine and content that works with that which can be dropped into the game they make.)

fair enough, it's hard to say what the replay value would be like. I played RE a lot, but it was pretty sandbox

oh well that's understandable- I'm guessing it was only available in English, but I'm not sure

Oh I never said it was. I used dine out as a tie in, because honestly, it's really hard to tie in any somewhat unrealted content, with the hope it may interest some sims players Idk I'd say they think it's all a lost cause, but I do firmly believe the current engine is limiting them

what sorts of things? You mean for dine out?

no clue why you couldn't- not sure what the issue is. did you try reaching out to customer support
