Honest Review of The Sims 4: Growing Together

The only thing that bothers me and what i’d like to know is, Why can’t a mother kiss her teenage boy on the cheek or cuddle or father to daughter.. while you can with kids. Did they decide oh,. All teens are embarassed of parents affection? What the hell 😂. Did they improve on parents affection for their kids at all their life stages or not? If not, then im not going to buy the pack.

This was the first pack I bought, I always play with families and it's been really fun, highly recommend. Next I'm going to by seasons by this reccommendation :)

Unfortunately, since our economy is currently on the wrong track, we in Türkiye pay 26.99 times what you pay. Most of the time, this is a factor that discourages people from buying a game pack.

5 mins into the video and you already sold me. I'm getting this tonight!

Okay, I got to the part about bikes for kids and clicked pay! I’ve been desperate for this to be added ever since they added bikes in the university pack! 😄

My only meh about this game is that they introduce slumber parties but give us no new kid pjs. Maybe it’s cause I only have 3 eps and the base game but I just have no good pj choices.

if you became a creator you can get free games

guys help, should i get this or horse ranch, helpppppp

growing together sucks the neighborhood sucks you would think that they were have a bunch of homes together because of the families I would never buy another expansion pack Sam’s for again they don’t even give you a stroller as much money I didn’t pay $40 help the Sims two and three hair strollers I love the Sims but this game sucks as far as the town expansion

So sims 2?

I just want freaking cars there are so much houses in the gallery with garages that you just delete because it a waste i want my rich family drive their lambos😂

This pack is interesting to be honest, but I don't think a game has to be realistic and this infant update potentially makes the game too difficult for me. Besides I only play on laptop, and I already have the season and parenthood. That being said, I want the compatibility system and memory-milestone thing. And another thought is, these features should have been in the base game. It's just terrible and hilarious that it does take this long to be developed. In any case, is it possible to install the pack but then "disable" the infant update?

my only problem is that most of the infant interactions and stuff is part of this pack when they should of been part of base game along with the infants. I find it hard to believe that i have to buy another pack to unlock features for one of my sims.

i get EA has to make money but i would rather have seasons and growing together in base game. the fact that we have to buy weather interactions/gameplay and family interactions/gameplay is mind boggling when the sims is meant to be a life simulation
EDIT: obviously there is many infant gameplay in the base game but changing tables, carriers and the learning aspect is all part of growing together! in base game the infants already know how to crawl and do other things that they learn in the pack.. it limits the gameplay a lot

actually bought Horse Ranch for My birthday and now this one is on sale. i might buy it after having seen multiple opinions from multiple creators on YT and since its on sale and a lesser buggy pack hah. i think somwhere between LilSimsie and SatchOnSims, is a balanced opinion on packs. Plumbella has good reviews too imo.

The audacity of EA to make you pay so much money for something that should be base game. Like the base game relationship interactions are so bad and now that they're actually good you have to throw them even more money to have a decent gaming experience. This also shows a lot in the empty world and how you have barely anything new to do in it. Even the community center is useless! The only thing to do there is making puzzles you can hang, which could easly be something to do at home. They obviously only made the world to have a reason to release the new functions as a expensive expansion pack.
I'd say, get it only if it has a massive price reduction. If some people watching this would like to have a review with a less legacy influenced opinion I recommend the video from SatchOnSims. This is no hate against lilsimsie, it's just as you said, this is the opinion of someone who loves legacy gameplay. :)

I wouldn't care if they were paying you. You deserve it! Your dope and should be compensated for your time, effort and compassion put into this game and videos

I love how transparent you are when you get new packs fro EA. Even though I know you have to say all that, even if you didn’t I would know your review was unbiased and honest! I always go to your videos before I buy a pack cuz I can trust your opinion

I hope they put at least Growing Together for the base game Sims 6 in the future because this is core gameplay TT

my infant got the gassy trait

Really makes me mad, I shouldn't have to pay for a compatibility system in game it should be patched for everyone since we had to wait so long for it.

Kyle didnt sleep cause you had to tell kyle to "relax" hes on "help" mode lol my guest wouldn't shower or eat lol he just cleaned all day til i told him to relaxxxx😅😅😅

the memory milestones were a thing in the Sims 2

we still need tweens

Should I get "growing together" or "cottage living" ?

INFANTS ACTUALLY HAVE GAMEPLAY???????? Sign me up omg

this is literally such a good review!!!

Y'know this pack has been sabotaged from the start yeah I said it but if your aiming for gameplay that fits effortlessly into regular gameplay then a lot of people will be complaining that it should've been added into the base-game

I feel like the movie theatre should be a woohoo spot lol

I feel like the stay feature would be amazing for divorced parents

technically you can easily make a family tree in cas by making what u want, setting the relationships and then deleting what u no longer need. their relationship stays even if u delete the sim you originally needed to make them

I have really mixed feelings on this pack, it added some great systems that we really needed and they definitely enhance gameplay but don’t really add much fully new gameplay? Like I feel a little short changed in terms of gameplay objects or careers? And the world looks really pretty but there’s not much to do in it? I wish they would just turn some of the scenery items into rabbit holes. Theres a cool looking pier with a cafe but you can’t really interact with it in any way so what’s the point?
Usually I feel like people are being unrealistic what the say pack features should be base game but in this case I think a lot of it should be base game

Does anyone else die when folks describe the sim-bols game as "like scrabble" when it's literally just Dominos with pictures? 😂 I guess most folks don't play Dominos with racks 😂

I trust lilsimsie’s opinion on sims packs more than anyone else

u dont blink

Why do she not blink

hello, ugh..I dunno how did i get here.. I couldn't resist to cuteness of that girl so I keep watching but by the end of this vid I felt like Johny Mnemonic with his head overloaded by no double but quadruple density of information😱

This pack feels overpriced and like some of the features (like more aspirations for kids) should have just been free updates to the base game…. but damn, it really does play into my sweet spot of getting to play out my happy family fantasies.

As much as I hate the thought of throwing more money at this game, I don’t think there’s a way for me to resist with this one.

the game was seriously underdeveloped at launch. people were getting an alpha version of what the game was supposed to be. they've fixed it now but cheated consumers out of their money. I wouldn't pay a dollar for this.

This!!! This is what was missing in the sims 4

so what I'm hearing is... the daddy issues are a built in feature

I do not have the pack a I got the extra trait I do not know why

I remember milestones in Sims 2, so glad they're back

I also love to use mods so if there are any comparable mods I don't know about... I'm super interested!

I've been scared to buy any new packs, like the wedding pack, school pack, werewolves and growing together. Is it worth it to buy any of these, or should I skip it?

What struck me was most of the family interaction stuff should be added to the base game instead of being a paid upgrade

the way im definitely building a water park with the splash pad items

I'm an old broad and I have been playing The Sims since the first one came out. I played on PC, I played on a laptop, I played on a PlayStation but now I'm just sticking with the mobile version and I prefer Sims FreePlay. But it's nice to hear once in awhile about how the base game is evolving. Thanks!

tysm for making this video!! I was thinking of buying this gamepass, I’ve read and looked at what it can do in the mod and i learnt more about it on this video. Anymore mods u guys recommend? Btw U got ur self another Loyal subscriber!

I definitely need to get this pack! Maybe I’m being greedy but I wish there was buggy’s ,cars and car seats etc 😭
