“It’s just not big enough and I’d like a little bit more,” Satch said wistfully with tears in his eyes.

Windenburg still feels superior compared to all the other worlds

windenburg and san mychuno ran so that the other worlds could crawl slowly

Imo, Glimmerbrook would have been way cool if it came with a mystery like Strangerville, where maybe you could unlock the greenhouse for actual use, or fix the world from coming apart (like the lore says).

I've noticed that with the newer worlds there are less and less collectables around. No plants, no digging sites and no frogs anywhere. And even fishing spots are rare and far apart even when there is a lot of water around. So rags to riches style of gameplay in the newer worlds is frustrating... I agree that Granite Falls needs a refresh, but there is a lot to do in that one if you try to do the herbalism stuff. Finding all the plants and insects is quite fun

We actually have 3 rooftops buildings in San Myshuno. The fashion district have one and the "art center" neighborhood have a another one. San Sequoia was a disapointment to me. That greenhouse should have been a real lot or a rabbithole because as you said there is literally nothing to that there beside walking. Its battu level indeed. Funny comparision because Battu is kind of a semi open world.

Isn’t it funny that in this closed system they should actually be able to add so much more interactive elements to a closed section. But we get a GARBAGE CONTAINER instead! It’s like a double fail but so is this entire game really. I don’t even play the game anymore but love your vids burning it down 💖

There’s a perfect spot in willow creek for 2 extra lots but they left it blank ??? Right there where the 4 community lots are. I’d say the worst world for me is forgotten hollow or magnolia promenade. I don’t know what my favourite would be. Probably Sulani because it is really beautiful to look at.

My problem with Sims4 worlds is that they built them to explored and walked around like Sims3 but the game is literally closed world so it just doesn’t work 😭…

I completely agree with you. I think instead of getting so many new packs, we should start really focusing on refreshes of old packs where they not only expand on the features but also improve the world's. For example, make them at least open neighborhoods. I get why it's difficult to do open world but open neighborhoods seem verry possible to me. On top of this they can refresh some of the useless lots and give us something to do with them and maybe even open some of them up to being built on. The problem is that they know they can't charge us for this so they are doing it less, but they made a promise that we would get refreshes and we as simmers need to hold them to that promise. Even if they decide to still don one expansion pack a year and instead of us gettin ng a second one, we get a refresh I would be happy. As long as both aren't rushed out and have boring gameplay

Henford-on-Bagley its literally the best one: many lots for bb, alot of gameplay and stuff to explore like bird nests and rabbit holes which you can make them friends and unlock stuff, the festivals in center town, the shops outside where you can actually buy stuff (not the ones that you can check windows) useful since most of lots have simple living trait, the house of the guy that sell you animal clothes and good items, plus has probably the best aesthetic from all towns but this may be just a personal taste, but definitely more gameplay than Tartosa or Britechester which are pointless and disappointing.....

Of all the worlds I think Moonwood Mill by far has the most stuff to do (closely followed by Sulani). Discovering the tunnels, digging for unique artifacts, both the pack bases, secret clubhouse, Greg, sparring grounds, etc. The only issue is that you have to be a werewolf to take full advantage. Also, you kinda forget you're not in an open world and then when you have to switch lots for something it's so annoying.

I totally agree Willow Creek is a very vanilla neighborhood but as an American, its funny to hear it being described as a run of the mill American world when its bayous, swamps, and plantations is atypical for most of the US. (The inspo was New Orleans which is like one of the most southern points of the continental US) Great review!

I feel like townhouses and semi detached houses that are so common in the U.K. and Europe could be easily achieved in a number of ways. One good way would be giving us the chance to manually place lots again, and to be able to set the size of the lot by dragging, in the same way we can do it with walls etc. using this way, you could build your town house then shrink the size of the lot around it, leaving no room to the sides and an area at the back for the garden. Then if you place another lot directly next to it you could do the same thing again. It would be great for recreating those mismatched terraces we often have with tiny little cottage ones with really short walls next to Victorian terraced villas. It would allow us to be so creative .

ts4 would be A LOT better if they let you go to all the lots in the neighbourhood without the loading screen and editing the public areas too, even if you needed to have loading screens to other neighbouhoods

I never start in Willow Creek - I always go to make my own world in the empty one. I hate welcome wagons that much. I also love starting from scratch.

Windenburg is a based world simply for the crap ton of lots it has! The vibes are not my thing but there’s like double the amount of lots than most other expansions. Now they just need to update it so it has swimmable areas lol

Mostly agree with your points except Evergreen Harbor. The fact that each neighborhood changes look and/or you can clean up certain areas or not adds that little extra for me that would bump it up. Still agree there's just not much to do in any of the worlds in general. You have to have interesting builds to keep the game interesting.

So basically Sims 4 needs more functional lots even if they’re just rabbitholes and less set dressing. I wouldn’t mind if they brought rabbithole buildings back just so it doesn’t feel so empty

Willow Creek has its problems, but if you look, *every* lot is real and buildable, they have *no* fake houses. Even with the "limited lots" thing, if they had done that with all the other worlds, it would be far more interesting.

My favorite worlds in the Sims 4 are San Myshuno, Windenburg, and Moonwood Mill. Windenburg is just sexy and has a lot of lots. Moonwood Mill feels like a semi-open world in that you can travel through bunkers, visit the werewolf pack hangouts, hang out in the werewolf bunker (especially perfect if you're playing as a homeless werewolf), and also visit Greg and doesnt require traveling to different lots to interact with this stuff. Werewolves in general is one of the best packs we've got imo it has really fun gameplay. San Myshuno feels more alive than most of the worlds because you get tourists and visitors and there's more to interact with in the world. I tend to live in San Myshuno the most in my playthroughs. Also, San Myshuno has 2 other rooftop penthouses! Most of the worlds can't relate though and idk why EA even bothers making worlds if there's going to be no interactions in the first place 🤷

I feel like you summed up the whole problem with the Sims 4 in general when you were talking about the issue with Magnolia Promenade. You said it's just a bit too exhausting to set up before you play and (for me at least) is exactly what it feels like to want to start a new game in The Sims 4 at all. Maybe I'm just too picky and feel the need to pick through the gallery with great care and make most things myself but usually by the time I've finished setting everything up the way I want it for that save, I'm kind of over playing it.

Oh my god, THANK YOU for mentioning about the QR code menus. I have an older phone because I don't see the point in replacing tech if it still works, and I like the size of the phone. My phone does not scan QR codes from its camera, but if I say this to servers in a restaurant they NEVER believe me, and will keep arguing with me that I can do it, and then even ask to see my phone to prove me wrong. I am perfectly capable of using technology, I do understand how my own phone works, and I know that the camera will not automatically scan a QR code presented to it. After much back and forth, eventually they produce a physical menu and I'm like IF IT WAS THAT EASY, WHY NOT JUST GIVE IT TO ME WHEN I ASK FFFFFF. I don't mean to sound like a technophone, but I just am not a fan of the way that everything is moving towards QR codes, and that nothing can be done without an app anymore, so you have to be installing hundreds of apps for every little thing. /rant

It is extremely disappointing that you can't make residential lots in Salvadorada.. I know that's the point of a vacation world, but why not both? 🤷‍♂️

I say the same thing all time. Sims 4 would be so beautiful if it was open world.

I have started adding one community lot per (residential) neighborhood. I especially like adding the community spaces that come with eco lifestyle since you can also change those through gameplay. It has honestly changed the way I play the game, my Sims have a much better social life, I don't need to add ugly skill building items in my houses anymore and it actually motivates me to travel with my Sims and look at the different neighborhoods. Lets move on from the American dystopia of suburbs and put community lots everywhere (in the Sims and irl tbh)

I love newcrest. Building there right now. There is so many options. Also it’s easy to fill up. Go to the galley/ get cc houses/businesses, then Put your businesses to the right 5 space. Then just put galley houses in all the other spaces. You could turn the big ones into some kind of park center or something. I build me a giant house on the big lot. 4 stories with a usable roof, and it takes up almost all the lot though I do wish I had an elevator though. Then once it’s full if you love all the building you can either keep them all or slowly change things/houses/what kind of building you have on a lot. You could literally just turn the whole thing into businesses if you wanted. If you see the map of sims 4 everything is like all together so you could literally have all the worlds have houses and have newcrest as like the mall. Then that would give you 15 buisness options. You could even get 1 from the galley then change it up some. So many options. Then places like magnolia can have the retail. And yes you can play, just put a galley building, people make some absolutely beautiful buildings

You are spot on with the food coming out at different times (looking at you Wags 😂) and the QR codes! I feel the same! 😆

Makes me realise just how empty all these worlds are. The only worlds I genuinely play and love is windenburg and san myshuno, and notice how they were earlier expansion packs, now we get empty aesthetic worlds

This is my first video of yours that I came across and I am LIVING for your humor & personality. That rating system is cracking me tf upppp

I never heard of a basic blue suburban house until about 3 months ago and I've lived in the US for 70 years. I never make them. And I'm with you on the QR code menu. Give me something bigger than a 3x4 screen to read and peruse.

i said on twitter the sims 4 worlds lack a lot of gameplay and got told i definitely havent played the game, i got like 2000 hours but youre right im not doing much Gameplay

I have found if you look a waiter in the eyes and say "I left my phone at home" or "my phone batteries are dead", suddenly they will find some paper menus.

But idk aren’t you forgetting the secret worlds/lots connected to some of the worlds? I feel like the secret worlds in mt komorebi outdoor retreat, salvadorada, willow creek oasis springs might increase the value of some of the worlds

If I was a TS4 player I would gravitate to Forgotten Hollows and Moonwood Mills (after editing them with the World Edit mod). I like their dark forestry vibes. So they are a good base to work on. Honestly watching this video made me appreaciate TS3 even more. All those places that look pretty but are either just deco or nothing to do in them (and without the possibility to edit the worlds without mods) is so off putting. I'm surprised EA didn't give TS4 players a world editor like they did for TS3. I mean they must use some kind of tool to make the worlds.

Have you never explored the jungle Satch?!? Selvadorada has quite a lot to do!!

I can hear lilsimsie as if I was wearing her as a hat and she's saying "ALL THE GOOD SWATCHES ARE BLUE!"

You know, I have to ask sometimes, what happened to the builders on the Sims team? Sims 3 had some really cool builds and the worlds has lots of stuff in it, so what happened? Did they fire all the people who built in Sims 3?

10:16 "is Beverly hills in Hollywood, or California or in LA or something" lol yes. Hollywood is in LA , which is in the State of California and Beverly hills is in LA as well though i am not sure if it's technically a community in LA or just a sister county to Hollywood. But they are all correct

"There's just nothing to do here" summarizes the game pretty well.

you should make a video on what worlds have the most to do

Gotta say that unpopular opinion is Oasis Springs is one of my favorites, imo it's a hidden gem. It's versatile unlike Willow Creek. It has a lot of collectables and fun for scavenger sims. It's also pretty beautiful with many inspiring spots to take pictures of. One of my favorite places is the little picnic place near the gym, it's a pretty little place for family bbq hang out. And few nice finishing spots. In general my favorite places are from Get Together and Cats and Dogs. I don't have Strangerville because i don't care about the story line, but the world is interesting to me. That's something i would like to have my sim live in.

I do this thing when watching KZfaq where as soon as the creator makes me laugh out loud I hit the like button. Satch over here making me reach over to the like button 45 times a video 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am dying over the categories here. Thank you for always brightening my day!!!😊

those are some good tier names, the right amount of chaotic

In New York, in the upper manhattan section and in the northern parts of the Bronx there are a few randomly placed centuries old houses that are gated around its surrounded landscape, similar to the random old house in San Myshuno. This also seems out of place for these neighborhoods that are surrounded by tenement buildings, busy subway lines, and many commercial areas. Idk if the sims team intended on it but it’s def an accurate take on a modern city, at least from my perspective and lived experience! Love your vids man!

I think the sims 4 has become more of a build game rather than a game that you can play with your characters!

I’ve thought of a few ideas that EA could do to add more gameplay, Have mazes as a rabbit hole and there’s a 30% chance that your sim will get lost and then you could send another sim in to get them and if they don’t find the lost sim within 5 sim days then they could get a moodlet saying “possibly dead…?” Or smth and then they could go and find this special sim who knows all and he/she will tell them what’s happened to the lost sim In outdoor retreat they could add a thing where you can go on a walk/cycle (if u have the packs with bikes) and then your sim could get ‘mauled by bear’ and they could either die or have to go to the hospital to get their wounds treated before they get infected and die With parenthood they could add periods or excessive body odour. That could occur and if your sim doesn’t shower and put deodorant on then they could get made fun of at school and get a sad moodlet In horse ranch they could have added a way for your horses to get sick, like cats and dogs, but they could also make the horses go ‘feral’ and they buck and kick you and stuff. They could also do that with cats and dogs, they could bite and hiss at you. With my first pets stuff , if you also have cats and dogs then your cat could get into the hamster cage and k!ll the hamster With any of the occult worlds then they could have a catacomb under it and there’s loads of secrets and lore and it basically leads you to find a sim who could give you something that you could either befriend and get something from or get k!lled by With growing together they could add something for elders (or any other sim) where they slowly loose their hearing overtime and need the hearing aid from cas With any desert world they could add a ‘sand storm’ that happens from time to time. And they could make it so the winter isn’t as cold and it doesn’t really snow and stuff. And the sand storm could make litter blow about and you could find out secrets that could lead you to a pyramid type thing where you could find a tombstone which is where an important dead person was buried and you have to go to their family and find out how the died either by asking the sim or snooping in their house With island living they could make it so you could get a pet fish. Or fin-rot and if it’s not fixed then it could turn your mermaid evil or something With eco lifestyle they could add barrels of oil and if you wanted to make the environment worse then you could knock them over and it would poison the earth so you couldn’t grow crops and the water so you get a dazed moodlet from showering and become ill if you drank it. But if you want to make the environment better then you could protest against oil (it wouldn’t do a lot since we don’t have cars but it could do something) With for rent you could have a water leakage and it can leak into other sims apartments that are next to you or below you and it could cause mould

This video had me CACKLING 🤣 So glad the algorithm brought me here. Immediate subscribe.

I actually really love the Sims 4 and when I first started watching ur videos I couldn't understand why you were so critical BUT then I went and played the previous Sims games and I was astonished how little this game gave for it's prices especially compared to previous games

You've never seen willow trees in the UK?! They're everrryyywhere, love them

In Copperdale you can actually build and edit the school as you want, you have to be on play mode and wait for the classes to finish. Also check out the little cafe I find it very cool!

My favourite world is selvadorada I never get bored of the gameplay of exploring the jungle. The world I always play in now is henford on bagley. I delete all the lots and build my own or at the minimum will renovate lots. I hate the ea and game changer ones as they always are decorated so old fashioned and boring.

7:25 just so you know, each neighborhood has a penthouse lot in San Myshuno! The other two are residential by default, but can be changed!

I literally love you, i just found your channel like two days ago but you’re genuinely so funny😭

NOT THE EPSTEIN ISLAND 💀

That celebrity neighborhood in get famous gives me Hollywood Hills vibes. Without the hills bc sims. If you’ve played GTA5, it’s the same neighborhood Franklin moves to. And tbf, there’s only like 3 major venues on Sunset boulevard and one is impossible to build, bc hills. Seems like that neighborhood is a mix between Sunset (the street where the bars are) and Hollywood boulevard (where the stars on the sidewalk are). But literally none of it is exclusive irl, I don’t understand why they did that. I also don’t understand the museum, they should have put the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, that would have made way more sense. Sorry, get famous is my most hated world so I took the opportunity to complain 😂

I love your honesty! It's refreshing. ^^

Your at 125k! Congrats also I love your videos!

"the snow looks very japanesey" 😂

I’m with you on QR code menus. Do not like. We disagree on World 3, which to me is a blank canvas and I love filling with custom designs as time goes on. I never feel pressured into filling it with junk just to get it going.

I love you! I will always come here for the snatch! That sounds so wrong haaaa you’re so entertaining and I usually don’t watch videos like these but I can’t stop watching you. You’re my favorite gah! So funny, so honest, and I can tell you’re passionate about this! Keep being honest and uncensored!

Honestly I wish the sims team would stop giving us a new world with every single expansion pack/game pack and would rather make the worlds we already have better. I am not expecting anything big like open world or anything, but it would be nice to have more to do in the worlds. Using so much set dressing in the worlds (San Sequoia is a perfect example) is such a disappointment. Rabbit holes would be so much better than set dressing. Not to mention how annoying it is that the exact same sims are everywhere, no matter where I send my sims to.

You're hilarious! I feel a kindred spirit in you, and enjoy your humor and hate of the shortcomings of the game we all grew up with.

Love your videos!

omgggg satch i went to england and loved the qr codes at the restaurants so quick and easy and i loved the fact i don't feel rushed and could just order what i wanted on my own terms 🤣 how do you hate them

I just bought the game and I was looking for what to buy. Thank you for showing the different worlds and how many lots. Definitely helps my decision on what to get. ❤

The Bantu ranking is right on point! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽‼️

you're so funny! I love the ranking list

There's a mod by Zerbu allowing you moving the school lot. Put it into Britechester because I wanted the learning places all together (as well as the "live career" elementary school the mod implements for children)

Couldn't agree more! I would much rather be able to interact with the world than ride horses or whatever they have coming out next. Thankfully I've been playing with Ultimate Save and it's made a huge difference. Even being outdoors at Granite Falls is better.

7:50 there are actually 4 rooftop lots! Theres the lounge, then a penthouse in the paint district, then the huge building in like the richt people district is also a penthouse, and then there’s 1 more penthouse with 2 stories but I am not quite sure where exactly

i remember spending ages trying to get into that fucking greenhouse in the magic realm😭😭

Willow Creek and Oasis Springs are good for starter homes if you don’t use mods or cheats to give yourself more money in the beginning. Windenburg, Henford, The Cat’s and dog’s world are good for family gameplay. I wish Forgotten Hollow ,Moonwood Mill, and Glimmerbrook were bigger. Del Sol Valley sucks just like Hollywood. Sulani is pretty, but that’s it the marine biologist career is broken. Brightchester is too small as well. Komorebi is also too small and the gameplay is shallow as someone who likes that world. I don’t have a lot of the newer worlds, but I imagine it’s like all the other worlds pretty, but absolutely empty and shallow.

I want another empty world like newcrest. For free 😅

I always start in willowcreek no matter what idk its just more homey and nostalgic 😭 worlds like san sequoia are so empty, you dont even have neighbours in one of the lots

Outdoor retreat. I mean camping in real life is just like sleeping in a tent, cooking outside, exploring the woods, and playing card games, camp fire stories and such. Not really a ton to do in the woods lol

Omg that park in magnolia promenade looks like all my back yards

I'm Italian and live by the sea and I never even realized Tartosa was supposed to be inspired by Italy? I always thought it was Spanish-inspired as well. Now I feel stupid-

I really thought of the same thing….that tunnel is giving IT Clown all I could picture was red balloons 🎈🎈🎈 lol 😂

Satch, you look fantastic, mate! Serioulsy! 🎉

We all come for Satch going on random relatable rants

His hunger needs got low during the video 😂 25:38

You can woohoo in the waterfall ..Island Living

I agree with your rankings except for Sulani. I do alot of family game play and I love it when my toddlers dig in the sand and play in the ocean. I also love when my sim is cooking or on the computer and I can see fish swimming and dolphins jumping up out of the water. Sulani definitely belongs in the "full erection" category, lmao

Less than a minute into this video and it's already my favorite SatchOnSims video ever, THE LACK OF EMPTY SPACES FOR NEW COMMUNITY LOTS IN WILLOW CREEK IS A LEGIT PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

windenburg and and san myshuno are so pretty and I really like brindleton bay wierd bc i have that world and I literally barely let my sims live there

you are so fucking hilarious the tier names SENT MEEE

I think you could try to just go to the main menu or go to manage worlds to help with the lag instead of exiting the game entirely every time. Always helps for me

I love the fable music, cant wait for the game too

Granite falls would be so much fun if they added something for scouters. Or summer camp. Imagine playing as a child or teen on a summer camp in granite falls and you could work as a camp leader as well🥲

They could fairly easily make all that open space more usable if they just change basegame outdoorsy trait to go for a walk, do nature photography, or to sit outside to sleep/eat/read.

Love the haircut !

Oft 😂 that high school lot ... I'm so used to playing in the one I built that I forgot how horrendous the og one is hahah

I really apprechiate this video. I really like sims 4 and if EA had put a little more work into bringing the worlds to life with stuff to do, I would be obsessed. Ive found henford most disappointing so far, because the town center is just fake. everything is just set dressing and I hate when games do that. They should AT LEAST update the shops so you can rabbithole-shop

I feel like "missed opportunity" is a good summary of the Sims 4

13:20 you forgot to edit that out 🤣

There are actually two more rooftop lots in the city living world lmao

As someone who works in hospo that restaurant rant was so accurate lol

lmao satch eating chips while talking about outdoor retreat

Can you do a video where you talk about your built favorite worlds that you build with your unique lots or a gallery download it lots?
