The world is giving magnolia promenade because there just doesn’t seem like much to do unless your sim really likes monkey bars

I like it I think it’s very beautiful, but for a San Francisco themed world I’m very upset it doesn’t have any apartments or townhouses

The world is so pretty but I wish they had a little more to do in it. Even if the arboretum was a rabbit hole you could come out with seeds or a flower or something. Birdwatching along the walking trails would have been nice too. And yes more whohoo spots please!

The botanical garden couldve been lovely for weddings if the building was open like the one in San Myshuno's park :/

I have to say, I'm a little disappointed that the stump doesn't do anything. Remember hidden worlds? Why can't we have hidden worlds anymore? Or apartment buildings, geeze. It looks cool, though. I can't wait to get it and overrun the lake area with mermaids.

I laughed so hard when you said whoo hoo bush’s cousin. 😁 I think the world is nice. I do wish they would have given us a different lot than the library, that the community center had classes and that there were an additional rabbit hole or 2 where the movies is at (like an arcade or restaurant). Or even that arboretum building would’ve been nice to be able to click on and have the Sims go inside of it.

I love he way you speak. It's giving school presentation, reading off the page, split millisecond eye contact moments. I actually love it.

I actually love this world! I took my toddler to the splash park once and immediately packed up our apartment and purchased a house there. It was just such a lovely, family friendly vibe. Heading to the rec centre after and letting the toddler play in the baby zone reminded me so much of the kind of activities I did with my real life babies when they were young 🥹

Do you know if there's dross-pack compatability with Movie Hangout? If your sim declares a preference for a certain type of film with that pack, does it carry over to the films shown at the movie theater? Also, did you notice that a few of those movies are the ones you can make in the Actor career?

Loads of people dislike the map, but I think it's really nice

I can't wait to see the other features you'll be covering. I'm not 100% sold on Growing Together, so this will be very helpful.

Haven’t bought the new pack, yet still deciding. Thanks so much Petey for the review of San Sequoia it really does help!

Ducks are arguably the best part of the world😊😊

I was having trouble finding the 3 walking trails in Gilbert Gardens and then I saw your video thumbnail. I immediately clicked on it because I knew you would have the answer and, sure enough, I was right. 😊

I'm having so much fun exploring this pack and your video gives me plenty of ideas for gameplay

Omg Petey I love your voice and am always so excited to watch your videos-cute, fun, and gloriously informative!👏🏽Hope you are well, all the love!

Feeling very spoiled with all of these uploads lately, Petey! Thanks for another epic and informative video!

The Arboretum is (I'm pretty sure) a nod to the one in Golden Gate Park, as well as the Conservatory of Flowers also there but in a different location. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservatory_of_Flowers

I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for creating this content. I always learn something new that I missed while playing... hehe

Thanks for doing all these feature guides. I have yet to not learn something new. Thanks so much!😀

I love your channel! You always help me find inspiration for playing/building in the game. I like the pack, I just wished the world didn't look so bland. If they'd leaned more into a high-density city style, or at least neighborhoods with the lots closer together, it'd feel a lot more interesting/fuller than it is. The greater area of San Francisco is just not that captivating visually.

I totally understand the limited lots issue but they have to offset that somehow. A lot of the set dressing is not autonomously interacted with by sims. The movie theater rabbit hole seems nice. Why not put a rabbit hole in every area for sims to enjoy? The arboretum could’ve been one. The world seems lifeless.

The movie theater reminds me of sims 3 on xbox 360, good times 😊

Petey out here making a bland world sound interesting

I was bummed to hear that the boats at the pier do nothing. But I don't suppose you can still bring your own from Island Living and go boating?

I've watched a ton of videos where people say there are no fishing or swimming spots in this world. Thanks for the info!

I don’t know how I would play sims without you. !!!

No Woohoo in the Cinema? What a disappointement! ;) I remember in Sims3 my Sims did get it on there pretty often and I always laughed, when they were thrown out because of there wild shenanigans. What a pity that this will not happen here. But the world looks really pretty, I`ll give you that and I`m excited to test it - as soon as my favourite mods are all updated! ;P Thx, Petey! ♥ Go on! *wootwoot*

Happy weekend simmers!! I just opened Growing together for the first time!! Wow you have great timing

the map is visually beautiful but in all honesty its the same copy and paste and the park is very boring considering its a family gameplay pack.

always look forward to watching your videos

Love your videos !! Thank you for the info

Stump does give a moodlet! Sent my sim for a jog while I debated with her siblings and noticed she got a happy moodlit from seeing old stumpy

Apparently there's a crocodile in the lake at Gilbert Gardens and sharks can be spotted from Anchorpoint Wharf.

this whole world feels like leftover assets from the Tartosa world

I've had the new Growing Together pack since it came out, but have uet to visit its new world. That water park looks fun for families. I'm gonna have my sims visit from Willow Creek.

I think it looks Awesome! 😍💕

Hey Petey, how about Seasons' roller/ice skating rinks & food stalls location in every world for your next video?

Thank you - I haven't explored the world yet. It is very pretty - also got me thinking if I'm missing opportunities with all the empty space in the worlds? What can we do with our sims in these large seemingly unusable areas in the neighbourhood? I know we can take easels, photography equipment, BBQs, tents and now sleeping bags but is there other things I'm forgetting? Can we successfully have group outings? I thought I'd throw this out to you and the community to see ❤

Being from California and living in San Francisco for about 7 years the stump is suppose to represent the red woods in Northern California!

Can you do a Evergreen Harbor Secrets And Features video?

Petey I absolutely love your channel! You have the best tips and secrets!

I too love the duckies 🦆❤

Great review! (also, it's pronounced ar-bor-EE-tum, & the only one I've ever been to was beautiful! ♥)

The world is pretty basic tbh, I'm already bored after playing with it a couple times 😅 Also it's disappointing that toddlers can't come on the walks, my sims family had to leave their toddler behind with some random man that was talking to her 😂

I just can't believe it's taken them this many years to give us a movie theatre as a rabbit hole when that same thing came in the sims 3 base game. Why didn't it come in the sims 4 movie game pack or whatever it was called? Just kinda dumb if you ask me. Anyway, aside from that venue, the city area in this world is just so... bland. Empty, useless, just residential and it makes me wonder: why?

Thank you for this guide

Thanks!

Thank you

Petey, can you do a video on hybrid babies? Had a sim hook up with an alien sim but didn’t know it was an alien sim 🤣🤣

Please do a video about the new child skills and fundamental skills and how they work

Thanks for the video.

I haven't played in this location yet. Is the giant bridge reminding anyone else of San Francisco? Kind of disappointed that's where the resemblance seems to end.

Wow! I’m underwhelmed

I would like more lots, but I think it's a very pretty world.

"I was also shocked to find out this is not a woohoo location." That's cuz you a freak, Petey. And I love it xD

and here I thought my ancestor Albert Alberts was alone. XD Gilbert Gilberts.

Great video as ever Petey, But if I may offer some help It's pronounced !Arbour ee tum", I hope you don't mind me helping with the pronunciation, And keep up the wonderful Sims work!

now can you also feed the ducks or just swim in the same location? I'm glad that they at least gave us narratives we could have at the theater, I can have my Sims bring their crush...

Omg if someone makes a mod that function likes the sign that's be great there little miss sam's mod but it only goes for a short period it doesn't like like jogging

I hate the area of the world map that's just gray. Seriously thinking of getting a map replacement mod. I do love other things about the world, like the cinema and the lots.

idk if I just haven't played in the world enough to know where they are or if it actually is that empty but I haven't found many diggables/plants growing which sucks because its a beautiful world i'd like to play rags to riches in but almost impossible if you dun wanna travel xD

Multiple times throughout the video I mistook this world for Willow Creek.

Can boats be used in any of the bodies of water?

The sims make us pay $40 & wait years just to go down a rabbit hole & play on monkey bars 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ they be like “here dang y’all always begging”

arbor-eat'em

ar-bor-E-tum.

Alright, the cinemas was a nice addition. But that's it? I wish there were more cafe's or even a restaurant. Or maybe a dog park.. idk. It seems... bland

Is there a secret to accessing these places? I can go anywhere except the Rec center!

In this DLC, you only got: - Sims 4 Realistic Feature (from Sims 3) - The Boring Ahh New Map / Kids Friendly Zone

oh, there is 3 walk routes?! I just found 1

that was fast lol

Duckies!

Ar-bor-EEE-tum

maybe it's just me but the new world looks rather boring to me (i visited my parents and borrowed a laptop that is not mine and updated it to the most recent pack) i like the pack in itself but they could've done more with the world that comes with the growing together pack

isn't there meant to be something mysterious living in one of the lakes??

🦆🦆🦆🦆DUCKIES 🦆🦆🦆🦆

duckies :D

Arrrr bore eat um.

Annoying that the arboretum isn't even a rabbithole...

👍👌💖

I wish they had put cars in the game

3:26 no its not great to increase relationship it takes to loong, you can just use the social bunny add as a friend and get MAXED friendship in less than 1 minute spamming messages, so no this way to increase friendship is very bad way too slow, and is not the most effficient way to be friends on the game.

Duckies

So no actual secrets in this pack?

Why the heck are the buildings looks so bright? I don't like that they could've made it age a little while

It may have behooved you to also look up the pronunciation of Arboretum. Ar-bor-rhee-tum. Arbor =trees.

I'm sorry you had to make this video. It has got to be hard to make videos where the most interesting thing in the world is a piano

So in this town u can splash around, rabbit hole movie, and walk and jog around. My Sims can already walk and jog around plenty. What an absolute waste of money Lmao. Especially since we got the infant's for free, that's really all that mattered

….Ar Bor E Tum…not Arbor ehh Tim

So no secrets then?

Are-bore-eat-um

The World's just keep getting worse, more unusable water instead of usable space and things to do. And is seems to resemble a city I would never want to live in yet alone rais a child in! Just a cheap world with no substance!!!

Are boor ee tum. :)

People need to not hate on this pack. It’s so good, the world is small so that can have more gameplay. Would love to see a full review as it seems like there is a lot. Like if you are buying the pack regardless of everyone else’s opinions.

SIMPLE "INSIDE OUT" CHALLENGE 1 household, RELATED. Create Joy, Anger, Fear, Sadness, and Bing Bong, And Riley. Joy(Cheerful, Outgoing, Good)= Health job Fear(Socially awkward, clumsy,any)= at home job Anger(Hot-Headed,Mean,Self-absorbed)=physical job Sadness(Gloomy,Creative,Loner)= creative job Bing Bong (Goofball, Childish, Outgoing)= Comedian job Teen/Child Riley(Any)= Any Challenge: Experience how all the household helps to raise Riley. See who she becomes. CAN NOT PLAY AS EMOTIONS AT ALL. Can play as Bing Bong or Riley. HAVE FUN! Came up with it in a dream.

My first impression of the world was not impressed, and still not impressed. Every neighborhood is very large!! So i thought o wow.. oke.. BUT only 3 lots, not much to do, open spaces, i had to search for just 1 or 2 collectibles, i had to search for fishingspots.. there isn't even 1 in the left hood?!? And I wish the movie theater could have been placed in other worlds functional like the ferris wheel from high school. The worlds getting worse and worse since i think with Sulani IMO. Yes Sulani is pretty but there started the lack of a secret world, less lots, and no option to really go under the water. So a lot of lack in the world itself. Same lack appeared in the world of get famous where it also had less lots, no beach opportunity.. and it only got worse. San Myshuno and New Crest and the basic worlds are where my sims spend their days mostly..

yo for the record my dude, all these people correcting you on word pronunciation are bored asf. like what the fuck it’s a word and it’s not like you said the wrong thing anyways. who would even know how to pronounce that??

Still not worth burnout and midlife crises and new ways for you sims to not get along.

Probably my least favorite world in The Sims. I don't plan to every play here -- it's completely lifeless.
