The big problem with Sims 4 is that it is built too much on family friendliness. You just notice at every turn that the developers don't have the guts to be edgy. Regarding Sims 4, I have often heard the term "Safespace". On the one hand, this is a good thing, but in my opinion it sometimes hinders creativity. Another point that increasingly annoys me is that nowadays every group of society wants to be represented in The Sims. In my opinion, the developers cannot do justice to this at all.

That would be fun, but knowing EA, it will just be a buggy glitchy mess with only a few items available and no new world

It would be neat if EA could do a bed & breakfast game pack or something. Sims can turn their homes into a B&B as long as you have one extra room (and maybe a max of 3-5 guests at a time) and Sims could come and stay for a few days. Your Sims can have a couple tasks that they have to do for the guests and then their reputation/rating goes up based on the quality of the stay. It could be a more low-level, actually attainable for EA version of a hotel pack Edit: I commented this before finishing the video and realized you mentioned this concept in the video lmao

But you know none of it would actually work. Everyone would go to the tourist site then stand around, walk through each other until the day ends, no activities complete all while dressed in their pj's.

I was so happy when I saw the south american influences in Jungle Adventure lmao, I thought "This looks like my grannies kitchen", people can't see inspiration without chanting appropiation

Thank you for looking at the hotel concept realistically. The sims community get their hopes way to high. I totally agree about cross pack compatibility. They should focus on that, probably solve some of the bug and lag issues if they did.

I think it would be great if it came with modern decor and also that 70s seedy motel decor lol

a hotel pack would be amazing, but like you said all the key features in going to a hotel/resort are locked behind multiple packs 😭. At this point they should just give us generations and then release the sims 5. the sims 4 can’t be saved.

Hi, brazilian simmer here. So, about the cultural issues, it's just that we're tired of being seen as the playground for north-americans and europeans, you know? I think this resonates with most countries out of that group. Selvadorada is nice and I'm very proud of Brazil's touristic traits (I know Selvadorada is not inspired by Brazil, specifically, it's just the game reference that we have), but if we could have a world to just live in and play like the other north-american/european based ones, maybe having a traveling destination for tourism wouldn't be a problem.

My favourite Satch words "sultry, crusty, traumatised" 😅

If a hotel expansion ever came out, I hope they add gameplay mechanics that make traveling between worlds more immersive. As things are you just immediately teleport across the world it sort of ruins immersion. I’d love if they added an airport, maybe even world specific events or festivals?

I think the sims needs to add an Australian inspired world.

My favorite pack ever for the sims was World Adventures. It could've been a game in itself. It was amazing!

I think a good world for the hotel pack(if we ever get one) would be a world based off of Santorini, Greece just because of how iconic the architecture is and the beaches and such

the thing is, the only thing i need is the ability to purchase a second home lot and set that as a vacation/rental property, with a dine out style level system. thats all i need. this could be implemented quite easily into a get to work refresh or even a stuff pack ala tiny living

I feel like the representation issue could be solved in TS5 with a world creation tool, a world management tool, and a/or couple of truly blank worlds. If players had the option to create clothing collections or even CAS traits and body features collections and then assign those to new worlds so that new sims would be generated to wear clothes and have features from those collections, then players could pretty easily represent a world of their choosing in the way that appeals most to them. For example, one person could have a world full of blue-skinned aliens in futuristic clothes while another person could have a world full of heavy-browed, thick-set Neanderthals in animal print clothes. Instead of specific town surrounds that give the illusion of other houses and buildings just out of reach, the sims could offer more generic terrain surrounds. The game could ship with a few basic terrain types and add on as more packs come out. Terrain types might be things like forest, grassland, desert, mountain, snow, etc. That way, the sims team wouldn't have to take the pressure of trying to be all things to all people. Perhaps certain festivals, holidays, or events could also be assigned. This would never work in TS4, when even if you tell wedding guests to wear formal clothes in the color red, half of them show up in PJs. But, honestly, giving players the ability to sort assets into collections and then assign those collections to worlds (and to add assets, like trees, etc.) to those worlds would make increased customization possible. To be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting representation in TS4. I actually really like it when The Sims branch out and offer a taste of different cultures in their worlds. I liked Snowy Escape, Jungle Adventure, and Island Living. I think TS4's cartoony style is cute and I don't really expect it to be a robust or accurate reflection of a culture. I expect it to be a silly, shallow, cartoony one. I mean, even if the base game is sort of generically "American" (which, ahem, is absolutely FINE for a game that originated in the US and is still largely developed there), it's still a watered down, silly, cartoony version of America or "The West" more generally. I'd love to see TS4 tackle at least a few more cultures in their silly, cartoony style. Wouldn't an Indian world be cool, for example? We could get some stunning architectural and clothing assets. What about a snowy Scandinavian word with reindeer? What about an African savannah world, with cool wildlife (safari adventure pack, anyone)? City Living is my favorite pack. It's sort of a generic, multi-cultural city with elements from cities all over the world. What if TS4 did another big city pack in the style of a real-world big city like Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, or Mumbai? I, for one, am completely willing to let TS4 keep adding new worlds in their signature silly style.

Good idea but what the Sims 4 needs is serious fixes not depending on the community to clean up there mess.

I think it would be interesting to have a “tourist” world. A Spain based world would be cool. There’s a lot of great architecture there that could add something interesting to the sims

They cop out with airbnb, which your sims can't own property to make income. That would be best with the rentals. I'm hoping they implement that and yes Hotels/Resort please we need it.

Its not shagalouf, its Magaluf, on Mallorca. Im from Mallorca and i think its really funny to see how british people called this places. Love your content and I learn a lot of english with it.

As an American, I love your take. I definitely don't think about the things you present because it is outside of my 'bubble'

I love the idea of a get to work refresh, they should do it! Shall we peer pressure them into it lol

this dream pack it's also my dream pack,realistic The Sims 4: Cottage Living refresh to get own B&B,and get to work refresh.

And of course, I get a sims 4 ad (which I’ve never gotten on yt) at the start of this video- in French too

Clicked so fast. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Satch! I love your videos you are super funny, always making me smile and I really enjoy your The Sims 4 content - It is hilarious. Love you and greetings from Poland! ❤️

If I am not mistaken vacation rentals in all worlds became available with an update leading up to Snowy Escape.

I stan with this idea! I've been dying for a casino pack for ages to bring more realism to game and that alone brings lots of traits and careers!

Hotels with room service

Hmm, I love the idea of Lily inviting her vampire cousins over for Harvestfest or Winterfest or something, and them staying in a kinda cheap motel (since the Collective Cabin is a li'l too crowded.) And, they being vampires and all, are just like...ugh, this place. (I could totally see Caleb wiping his finger on some surface and tsk-tsking at dust.) And let's be real. We need a place for non-San Myshuno Sims to stay during Geekcon and whatnot.

Legit- World Adventures was my favorite expansion for Sims 3. I LOVED playing tomb raiding, running from mummy’s, doing the adventures in France and wine making- ugh that was such a good expansion….

Yes they need something! cause I haven’t played the game im months due to it being boring… I’d love a hotel pack

I manage a small hotel in a very touristy area and I’ve often thought about how much fun gameplay could be implemented in a hotel themed pack.

I just wish they remove the holiday-only restrictions for worlds and let them all be liveable AND touristy... But the last thing you said about the disjointed packs makes sense. If they were to introduce hotels I think it would be maybe better through an update where you could make apartments and hotel rooms in any building you make. But then there wouldn't be all those amazing features you listed. Like everything else - what a mess! P.s. I do like your alternative suggestions!

Oo and if we could build and own our own hotels than it'd be great.

Great presentation, Satch!! EA should pay attention to your PowerPoint which was very powerful, and your video was equally a bright spot in my day.

How about a globetrotter aspiration? Wanting to visit every world and do different activities in every world. Like the challenge... And I would love to run my own B&B.

Couldn’t have said it better! Hope EA can make this happen or at the very least some modders get to work lol

I'm only half way through this video and I was originally not to keen on the idea of hotels but listening to this so far makes me REALLY want it implemented cause if you have expansion packs you can do one in each world with different themes like i think snowy escape would work brilliantly with a hotel pack

i feel like half the things expected to be in the pack will be missing and then they'll introduce those things in another pack lmao

I absolutely love this style video

I think that will be really fun to play in a hotel and own one, and don't we already have a Entertainer Career, i think this will be really fun to book a room in a fancy hotel and seeing the Goths and the Landgraabs walking around in a hotel and vibing in a Casino 😂❤😊

Omg you literally read my mind, I was thinking about this today cuz I was thinking about sims 2 on Nintendo DS and how the hotel was on there, this could acc be SO good for sims 4 💚

I thought the sims team actually announced the pack and you were reviewing the trailer of something. How did you make the icon and title in the thumbnail so damn realistic? 😳

I really hope sims 5 can be a happy medium

i would love an spanish inspired pack

Honestly the sims 4 is just a bland game. It's empty and shallow and highly overpriced and no pack or kit can fix that

I NEEEEED a hotel pack!!! it would be SOOOO DOPE!

Not really related to the video at hand, but I really hope that someday Satch puts on bright green lipstick or something but keeps the "im not wearing lipstick my lips just naturally look like this" bit in the description

I was actually saying this before that I would love to be able to make a hotel. It wouldn't be that hard if they can make apartments work. Basically just make it so that each room is its own parcel or something like that.

Dear Satch, I think we both know nothing will ever save the Sims 4

We all know already it wouldn’t work properly but it’s nice to hope lol

Omg this would be amazing 👏 😍 😭

I would like to have apartments (or flats) where 1 sim owns the lot, while other sims rent units from your sim.

We already have a Entertainer career (base game career with the oaths „comedian“ and „musician“), we also already have night clubs

We do need a hotel pack!!!

As someone who has played the sims 1, 2 and 3, im soooo happy i just now decided to give the sims 4 a real chance. There is no way i would have survived without all the patch updates and extras the newer expansion packs came with.

Satch I haven't seen your vids in my recommendations in so long. But I hope you get better!

I'm glad this video exists because it explains exactly why I don't want a hotel pack. I don't want the team to spend their time (and EA to take our money) on a pack that is doomed from the start to not work well because of the foundation of how the sims 4 works.

They can do a safari lodge hotel amd then get an african world

Imagine if you could play it with Paranormal stuff and create a haunted hotel.

Yessss I agree 100% with you!

We need more Eastern European worlds/culture in The Sims 4!

Oh this right here! I think we’ve got a winner!!❤

you're looking great!! please do share your secrets.

WE NEED IT. NOW.

I agree with you that marginally SIMS4 now cannot be considered as strong a force as the original versions. You realize that just by playing. I’ve been playing SIMS4 for not that long and I wish I still had my original PS console, I was excited to get all the packs and when I found the KZfaq community I was blown away by all the problems this game possessed. And playing myself I concur. I honestly think they should re-ensemble the entire SIMS4 and make good on their promises to keep the SIMS franchise intact. Feels like their taking a great legacy and turning it to pot! So disappointing….but I thank you for you honest advise/answers/and over all views, it’s refreshing and helpful. Take care with your chest infection get well soon Darl ❤

Cutest sims slideshow ever

I’m here for Vegas or a cruise. That sounds soooo fun.

I had a chest infection last week and it was awful, I hope you get better soon

I totally love your videos and agree with everything you have to say, however, In Sims 2 there was actually a pack called “open for business” where restaurants were introduced. No other pack had any restaurant experiences. Even in hotels in the sims 2, there weren’t any restaurants. However, you could create a restaurant in the vacation world. But I do agree that hotels should be implemented in the sims 4 more, it’s a great idea! They would just have to fix a lot of the other packs first in my opinion before that’s even thought about. Like you said in the past, dine out and my wedding stories don’t even work. I’m sorry for the rambling haha I just love your videos so much!!❤️

I think a hotels pack would be kinda like apartments in city living. I imagine a few different buildings with different amenities. The floor level having a pool. Then depending on hotel type it has different types of rooms and the high end hotel would have mega rooms and also have a bar or maybe something to do with Vegas gambling???.

They should allow us to run an air bnb utilising the current rental system.

To be fair, we do have a bit of a Karen trait, and it's the one that came with Spa Day, High Maintenance. Sims with that trait flip out over little things and the trait suggests that these sims want to be pampered at spas when they're not at their best... but they can _still_ get random bad moodlets from things even when they're at the spa. lol I wonder if other traits could be combined with High Maintenance to make something closer to a Karen such as Self-absorbed and Hot-headed.

Cars would help. Home business would help. Normal garage sales would help. Sims doing what they’re told to do would help. Normal lashes would help. Hairs not attached to backs would help.

✨ a l l e g e d l y ✨

I don't know if you read the comments on your videos, Satch. But if you do, instead of hotels, I think a Casino pack would be a great idea with the new world based on Las Vegas. Gambling would be fun. Slot machines, card games... especially seeing Simoleans come and go like money in read life. If you read your comments, let me know what you think. This could be a video idea if you're looking for one.

Think if they did Mykonos for this world...like that would be AWESOME

lets be real. if such pack could come up... EA would find a way to bug it and probably would mess with the rest of the rentails. My game didnt recover from Highschool years... i still have lots in worlds that my sims do not eat or drink!

Sims 4 Benidorm living 😂 Would love my sims to race mobility scooters down the main strip.

I love the idea of the cruise ship "world" .... and likewise that could be done with a motel/hotel "world" although it wouldn't let us build on other worlds which would be a shame.

A hotel pack would be nice, but i really think there needs to be a night club pack. ik we have city living, but im talking about a neon world, with way more bar items and club couches, pool tables etc. they could do so much with it.

Your voice sounds great 😉

They could do the same they did with my first pet stuff. Be like you have to own this and that pack for the full experience.

I already run a hotel using drgluons rules and its so much fun, the sims team will release something that doesn't work and infuriates people. I love my little b&b!

I was one of the ones who said no to your question you posted. I sort of wish you would have presented these valid points and made room for the discussion prior to the question. I’ve never really played any of the other sims games before and just didn’t see the potential. 1:23 Is it something I think we need... eh no but I think anything that can make the game better and more gameplay is something we all can want. I value your opinion so if you stand for hotels. I can be supportive and on board. I can see the potential now.

I'm honestly 100% sure that Hotels will come someday in TS4. We have way too many touristic destinations to not have hotels.

I remember that I LOVED hotels in TS3 but I think I got to play with it once, maybe twice. By the time that Island Paradise was released the game was so laggy it was pretty much unplayable for any computer no matter what speccs (mine cost about 800 dollars in 2014 so i'd say it was above average). I had almost all packs in TS3, some cc in CAS/BB but no mods and it my game was playable for 20-30 seconds at a time and then frozen for 1-2 minutes. It was like the game got alzheimer and slowly faded away. Because of this, I haven't bought a pack in TS4 since Cottage Living and it's sad given how much joy I have gotten out of TS4 (despite the infinite bugs since, thankfully, many can be fixed with mods).

even if ea would do something like this it would be divided into 2 expansion packs, 4 game packs and 6 kits

If they brought out this pack I would recreate the white lotus cast of season 1

Was definitely confused why you wanted “unique bibles”. Took a second to realize what you actually said

It was Snowy Escape not Island Living that brought destination lots to sims 4.

It was actually snow escape when they introduced rentals in any world, even later than you mentioned :/

As in movies, why can't they just come out with a vanilla version for age friendly and then a version for adults.. NOT X RATED, but you know.. like the original sims 1-3 games which were/are all of the elements that made the sims franchise so successful from the start!?!? Oh, wait, they can't. That current team seems to be incapable due to lack of talent, effort, pride...idk, you pick the reason.

And I wasn't subscribed? I've been watching so much of your content sowwy

i would really like more work options that let you go to work tbh that is my only problem just feels like i send my sim and press work hard it is the most unimmersive thing

Hotel would be fun to have. But with how they have let some things just drop, can we trust them to care enough since they're pressing for 5 themselves?

I had a sinus infection that turned into a chest infection last week. Oregano oil in hot water is key here!! Read up on some medical research about oregano and the respiratory system if you must. But absolutely buy some oregano oil!!

this game is beyond saving lol if it doesn’t work at the base level how can anything extra work properly?

Honestly, I think the EA Sims 4 team could do very well by watching this video. Such good idea suggestions AND very very very valid critisms of the game itself as well as vs other sims games.
