In Sims 5 you won't have to buy DLC to unlock basic game features. Instead you will have to buy DLC to unlock the necessary game files to make the game run

For those curious, I just checked the US prices on Steam. The base Sims 4 is free, and all the DLC together comes out to a total of $994.

The sims is a perfect example of why sometimes it's okay to just seek the high seas.

So EA has actually combat piracy by releasing so many DLCs that even the pirates couldn't keep up

Micky has once again fallen to the dlc madness and his sanity permanently decreased just a average citizen at Shivering Isles

"School don't care about your well-being, they only care about results" That quote hits home for sure

Can't wait to buy the highschool pack so I can fail actual highschool sitting in a sims class.

12:47 somehow made me laugh so hard I had to take a break to catch my breath. It's impressive how EA increased the price and number of the DLCs, without proportionally increasing the quality or amount of content.

I don't know if you'll read this but thank you for everything. Your videos have helped me through some horrible shit. From my dog of 13 yrs passing away, to the large ass bill from my college. Thank you Mickey, please keep doing what you are doing

And that is why, the Sims community as a whole, has agreed to "acquire" the packs through "other means". Cause fuuuuck all of that.

In high school I was tall and skinny... my backpack weighed as much as 1/3 of my bodyweight... the amount of shit they had you carry around was honestly ridiculous. I walked 1.5 miles home... I now have light back and knee problems... I wonder why.

The aggressive DLC begging in game is amazing. Just like going for a walk in Ohio.

"Nothing is impossible if you believe...we did and now we're a thousand euros richer, thank Micky!" - EA, 2022

I've never in my life purchased Sims DLC in full price. There is no way.

Bethesda fans saying Todd is milking Skyrim but he has nothing on EA.😂

Patrick Bateman canonically has a brother who appears in a book from the same author of American Psycho, although it's a college comedy or something iirc. Either way, it could make for some interesting shenanigans in future videos.

I didnt expect cameos from both Jerma and Tomar

One of my favorite visuals in this video is Luey Hewis sitting alone watching TV while the loaf of fruitcake egg crap just sits uneaten directly behind his head. That's what was going on all day while Patrick was at school.

"I wasn't born in the 80s but I'm gonna take it on as a personality" So like a Funko Pop collector?

The Sims 4 starting to look like a Paradox game with all this DLC

I like how Micky D is spending money, energy and time on the Sims series. Otherwise it would go straight to Guinness, whisky and railroads.

for the 19 days sim life thing; there are options for short, medium, and long sims life, and a setting to stop aging for played/unplayed/current households in the gameplay section of the settings

The amount of 80s music references you make in this video thrills me bc I'm a nerd. Thank you for the entertainment.

I think people would be fine with all the dlc if you could unlock it with in game currency...

I want to see you make Martin Septim in the Sims. And if you can be bothered. Jauffre and the Adoring Fan. And then your own Hero of Kvatch as a Wizard/Vampire. P.S I reckon this would be easier/funnier in S3

Once again stating that continuing the series you should add the DLC onto the same save (keeping the last one on) so that in several episodes we'll find Patrick at the bar with that episodes character. Give the world a bit more charm later on if he does continue looking through everything he bought.

Omg the “Look Tomar” had me dead 💀

High school was one of the worst periods of my life, of f*ing course I would buy a dlc which revives that period.

American Psycho is a fun read, it's chaotic but leaves a profound impression. I like the novel more than the film. It's funny how dad wears pink slippers, it symbolizes that he's both the father and the mother for his son.

God, Micky reminding me of all the crap that being in secondary school was like in the UK, gah - I swear people that make secondary/high school stuff like this have either never been to school or have blocked 90% of it out entirely

There must be a Sims 4 specific tax write off in Ireland’s tax law, otherwise buying that much Sims 4 DLC would be insane… … There is a Sims 4 related tax write off in Ireland’s tax law, right???

You just summed up how I feel everytime I tried to play Sims... "so, what do I do now...?"

Remember when sims 3 did paranormal? Giving us zombies that showed up on full moons, fairies, wearwolves, vampires, ghosts, and witches for options on your sim? All that along with a shit load of new furniture and clothing options as well as new traits, jobs, and main aspirations? All that for $30. Now for $40 you can get this. Looking back at sims 3 again for the same price you could get into the future, a pack that added a future environment that allowed you new aspirations, robot sims with completely unique mechanics, and several completely different types of furniture per category? All on top of the new traits, shit loads of clothing and new mechanics just for the future environment like a constantly changing Descendents line and 3 different states to the future, even allowing you to have a new lot that didn't interfere with your standard lot. I'm not saying sims 3 was perfect, but when they had the balls to charge you $30 or more they made damn sure it was worth your money and even the $20 packs put most of the $40 sims 4 packs to Shame, like show time, that shit added loads of new crap and even gave us genies, ea has always been greedy but sims 4 is a new low

Can't wait for the sims 5 to be a monthly subscription live service game.

All I want is the Sims 2 ultimate collection brought back with patches to work on modern hardware.

My biggest complaint is how so many of the DLC are so bland and shallow, especially the towns. None of the houses are interactable and it is so dissapointing especially for like 40 bucks

MICKY SERIOUSLY STOP ✋️ BUYING THESE PACKS AT FULL PRICE. Your killing your wallet. Wait for the steam sale that happens like 5 times a year like the rest of us 🙃

Tomar and his emeralds . Talking about persona cause he's being watching RT and a blazing saddle reference very nice. Watching you is like a Easter egg hunt lmao

Finally! My favorite Canadian sims KZfaqr released a new video!

0:14 aaaaaaand i got goosebumps out of nostalgia. Fekkin Monkey Island again... And yes, that above was a joke. I'd always remember good old Goof Troop from the SNES.

If the base game permanently stays free that says to me that this is their last push to get people to buy dlc before they go full swing into sims 5. Never buy dlc unless it's on sale

4:28 I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did at this joke. But I did. It came out of nowhere and hit me right in the funny bone. XD

Can't wait to watch this as soon as I get myself a nice pint...sadly I'm all out of beer so I gotta wait till tomorrow.

You shouldn't have insulted Joshua Tomar like that, he's well known for ripping off the arms of his enemies and baking them into crisp meat pies

This reminded me of those memes about EA selling a burger without the patty and other ingredients and you have to buy the "patty" DLC to add the patty to your burger. Case in point, remember when the Sims 3 Supernatural expansion pack which cost 40 bucks has 4 supernatural race for you to play with. Now with the Sims 4, you have to buy Vampires and Werewolves seperately with each costing 20 bucks. In short, 40 bucks in Sims 3 got you 4 new race while 40 bucks in Sims 4 got you 2 race. Same price but less content. The same with the "Cats and Dogs" expansion with the exclusion of horses and you can buy "My first pets stuff" to add features and stuffs which should've been included in the "expansion" pack itself.

“It’s like getting a text from your dad thats just a thumbs up emoji” I didn’t think I was going to feel attacked but here we are. 💀

17:22 "People actually, really play American football? That's real? I thought it was like Quidditch!" Imagine all of the asinine and ridiculous rules and aspects of Quidditch, but take out everything that makes it interesting, and you the game of handegg.

We don't PLAY American Football, we listen to the fantastic late-90s emo/mathrock band American Football. Easy mistake to make.

It really is worth watching American Psycho. It's a very smart, funny and feminist satire. For a time, Leonardo DiCaprio was going to be the main star, not Christian Bale, but was talked out of it by Gloria Steinem. It's such a wild movie.

I did not expect to see a "Look Tomar! It's you!" reference, but it was a pleasant surprise, and I'm not saying this because I feel a threatening presence loom over me.

Gosh I miss these honest and humerous videos, they're gold. I feel your absence brother. Whatever you are doing, be happy and well.

Yes, I can confirm that they do not let us leave until it is dark outside.

Y'all remember that Spongebob episode when Mr Krabs charged for things like Breathing, Talking and Existing? Yeah...

Omg you mentioned how school books break peoples backs. When i was in middle school id have to carry so much useless shit and come home everyday exhausted. School aint messing around lmao

if Huey Lewis is Patrick Bateman's dad, does that mean Phil Collins is also Patrick's dad?

American psycho 2 was written as an unrelated film but they changed it a little so it’s barely related to the first movie. It’s okay, I mean, it’s not good, it’s not really that bad either.

here in brazil, it's an absurd, the game with all DLC cost more than 4 months of minimun wage :(

I love the only fools and horses insert at the beginning of the video.

Many people don't know who Huey Lewis is and I got to say,the Huey Lewis and the news jokes and references are hilarious

LMAO the only fools and horses bit is craic

"Chris Chan Bale" lol

I'm loving the bitter energy of this, sparing no love for EA in all of it c:

No Micky don’t do it, turn away Micky just ignore it. Micky!!

Micky, press Shift and Tab at the same time, you'll play in First Person :D It can be an interesting point of view for certain stuff, like being in class :)

the jerma bit...I see ur a man of culture Micky

To quote Smash Mouth, "And they don't stop coming".

That dad energy is serious and real

I Doubt you’ll see this but heard you like suggestions from fans, while I am a newer fan theres an Amazing Alien Vs Predator mod, I forgot the name of it, but if you look ip videos you could likely find it, it adds ALOT of new content, including 3 Yautjia races, multiple predator armors and weapons, multiple temples where you can find and hunt both Aliens and Engineers, and a fe new followers, the first one you can get is at a Thalmor controlled fort close to the coast, I forgot the name of the fort, but after Eliminating the Thalmor outside you can get your first Yautjia follower, aswell as a Savage war axe, your first set of Predator gear will be found in Helgan, inside a chest, you’ll also find three books that have tue word Yautjia, read all three, they will mark locations on your map from temples with enemies, to enemy Yautjia camps, and even Derelict ship near Windhelm where you can get two more Yaujia followers, more masks, and buy things from the mod from a mask maker, including stuff to upgrade with. Inside the ship theres also a dungeon you can go through for special stuff, I should tell you this first: Level yourself up to atleast 10, the enemies in the mod can be quite OP, also if theres Facehuggers, take then out first, while having less HP and being smaller, they’re attacks deal intense damage, ignoring them is a way to die quickly.

Christian Finnish Frostiis i am also 80's kid, i was born 89 new year. even if it's matter of hours i got to live the great feeling of 80's and i enjoyed my time as a 80's newborn. Hmmm that hip style haired female has lastname of Harjo, really close to finnish since my mother's maiden name is Harju

Mickey calling seagulls, eagles.

Preach it brother. Every time I think I've finally caught up, they add 5 more 😭 Like boi, do I look rich to you??

oh man you mentioned lockers and books, while i had a half-wall length locker my high school in Texas was massive and we only got 7 minutes between class. You can imagine that using said locker wasn't a viable option so i had to carry all my books (didn't even fit in my backpack) on top of my gym stuff. But what i want to know is were your desks and chairs way to small and uncomfortable, cause that's what fcked my posture up more than anything.

the sims 4 is a perfect example of why piracy is a good thing

Opening with only fools and horses theme song you absolute legend ❤

That Tomar gag is perfect lmfao

During the Sims 3 days I was like "fun game but dang i hope they figure out the dlc stuff next game this is getting ridiclous" and then uhhhh

i almost died when big iron snuck up on me

Calling Copperdale Morrowind sent me. It's scary how many Patrick Batemens there are on the gallery...those people def downloaded the extreme violence mod lmao

What a legend. Venturing where none of us dare.

The back problem / school book thing is no joke. I had to get my back cracked by a chiropractor from that shit.

"They talk to me through the Cross-Dimensional Box!" Okay Chris-Chan, whatever ya say

The restraint to not pick Jerma Bateman, despite no repercussions of doing so.

patrick stole that girl's locker like he stole paul allen's apartment! he's hip to be square

my most toxic trait is that my brain always confuses huey lewis with don henley and tbh i'm never going to apologize for that dirty laundry

When are we getting a video on the Katy Perry expansion for Sims 3?

Hey Mickey D I love your content and I also like how you're pretty chill when you play and I respect that

new micky D video!! haven been this excited since my mother in law's wedding!

The -rent- amount of Sims 4 DLC is too damn high!

Seeing "look tomar" actually shut down the left part of my brain for like 5 minutes

Reminds me of my favorite band, Huey News and the Lewis.

the concept of a mesh polo shirt broke me tbh

Something gives me the hunch that micky has been watching a lot of jerma. Not sure what it is.

The thing with all these DLC's is that I feel like they bog down the game. Insted of clicking on the computer and choosing "play games" now you go to the computer and you can choose the genre of game you want to play, the game itself, the controller and if you want to play online or offline and I'm like bruh, I just want to fill the fun meter.

"Until the cows come home" is a phrase I haven't heard in years.

not a fruit cake, nonono...✨egg cube✨

I've always been jealous of Americans and their lockers that can fit more than 3 books and a rubber

bro you've been holding out on us forget this lets see the SNES gooftroop content

The only fools reference 😂

I can't believe the S truly transcends the ages! I had to wake up at 4:30 for my HS

i want to get sims 4 but the thought of paying almost 1k for all the dlc and most of them dont do much puts me off. I prefer to own it all when it comes to games.
