ICYMI Simmers! Infants will be available as a free base game update on March 14. 👶 Learn more about the new lifestage in the first episode of Behind The Sims: kzclip.org/video/spC-n7rWp_k/бейне.html ✨
@smvfc be grateful there is an expansion pack like this, I’m so sick of people complaining that this shouldn’t be an expansion pack but an update, I understand that it is kind of unreasonable but there is like 50 different complaints about this on every trailer. Give it a rest!
@Vem I don’t think so bc look at how big those are compared to past sims game. The packs don’t feel in-depth a lot but it is a huge upgrade from rabbit hole highschool and only being able to just ground our kids for something bad. I like how the team does it and take a topic and expands it
Here's my take, dumb all the expansion packs and gameplay packs into the base game or at least the realistic ones (spa day, parenthood, highschool years, ect.) And cheapen the cost of more mythical expansion/gameplay packs More people would be more willing to pay a cheap price for some cool content and since more would be able to buy it in turn more money could be made I am still a teenager though so I don't know if this would work entirely but I feel like it would be a good way to help the communities issues with pack and still let us enjoy them at decent prices
Interaction between younger life stages and infants will be amazing! I love how children interact with babies IRL it's so cute so I hope we get a bunch of new actions!
Wow! So if you combine this with Parenthood, High School Years, My Wedding Stories, Kids Stuff, Toddler Stuff, and Nifty Knitting (for the rocking chairs), you can finally have Sims 4 Generations! (Remember when all this was one expansion pack?)
Well it’s not meant the be the same thing from past games because those games are still out their and if we keep getting the same things it gets boring
@Jae S sims 4 and EA in general isn't the only ones who do the same thing with your games, and they will all continue to do it too. My main thing would be how the sims community has more hate than most any other gaming community, especially when the devs are trying to please the community, when a lot of other games hardly do it. Now that doesn't mean praise them to high heaven for doing the bare minimum, but no need to attack the devs with negativity everytime they release a new product that people spent months on. Constructive criticism is fine, as long as it actually has real points on how to fix the issues. Most negative comments are vague I.e "this pack looks like garbage" "not up to par with the last game" even positive ones can be ridiculously vague "looks great" "can't wait to play it" giving details on what you are looking forward to and what you aren't is constructive criticism, just saying you hate it or love it, is not.
@fearthereaper25 yes there is nothing wrong with complaining, just as there is nothing wrong with enjoying the packs. But it isn't a bad pack, there is no such thing as a great pack or bad pack. Because it is all subjective. Everyone has different interests and clearly there are people who still enjoy the packs even if others hate it. You can complain, but it doesn't do you much good on KZclip comments. If you truly want to complain and see differences, go to their official website, where they will have a higher chance to read your opinion, since your opinion is nothing on here to them. Or just don't play the game and don't buy packs, up to you.
@CoLdBITeR people are complaining because the way they constantly make packs that are glitchy (1) and packs that could’ve been combined with another for the price points (2). I do agree people should stop supporting sims 4 until they be more reasonable but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. It’s hard asking someone to stop playing when they have a strong love for the game. I personally dislike sims 4 & play sims 3 but I have an understanding of the frustration people have.
Looking at this pack makes me realize that as an adult, I’m actually living this pack when back in middle school playing Sims 3 with Generations was what I was imagining my future to be. Hope the teens that play this pack today find inspiration for what they want in their future.
That’s really heartwarming man, I’m a teen and honestly playing stuff like this really makes me actually look forward to adult life instead of dreading it, I can’t wait!
@George Ashraf true! that would be great. and i hope they also fix the issue where when you visit your parents they kick you out for trying to shower or sleep in your own home lol
I’m glad that it’s not coming out right away so the sims team has a chance to look at the community’s feedback. Honestly I’m really excited! It looks like it could definitely be a solid pack. The only thing I’m a bit bummed out about is there is no mention of daycare or babysitters. I feel like that would be such a good opportunity for an active career. I’m curious to see how all this shakes out.
This isn't _just_ making babies more functional - this is giving them life that the sims franchise has literally never given them before. They went over and beyond what was expected of them. I mean, who wasn't thinking they were just going to drop it and push this kind of content to The Sims 5, which we all know is in the works? I did. I adore the High School pack and the tremendous work that was put into it. I wasn't expecting anything revolutionary from this pack, but I have been proven completely wrong. Thanks for still doing your best, despite what the grumbling ones have said.
This is what The Sims has always been for me. Even with the nightlife packs, the supernatural stuff and even pets. At the end of it all, I really just wanted to create families full of life. I can't wait
@nico "Be happy for once" I bought all the packs thinking they all looked fun enough to buy yet not one "expect maybe werewolves and get to work" were worth it. In the end this pack most likely will be extremely basic and will get boring within a hour of playing. Also consumers have the right to complain about a terrible overpriced product especially when EA keeps producing more of the same basic crap.
Couldn’t help but have a tear in my eye towards the end of the video. Finally a representation of Generations which I played for countless hours and will forever have a special place in my heart. I remember treehouses, home videos, and so many small details that made the game special; I see that some of these key gameplay elements in Generations will now be included with Growing Together. Thank you.
In the last year, the Sims has really stepped up their game! The new packs and updates have been amazing and I really appreciate that they applied to what we have been suggesting. With this pack, my household members can now finally make special unique memories that make them feel like actual family! After March, The Sims 4 will be so fun and awesome!! ❤❤❤ P.S. Thank you so much for giving us the family elements we have been asking for a long time. Also, I think the game will be more realistic including the fact that we will now have infants. THANKS FOR THE 100 LIKES!!!
This is what so many of us were asking for. Yay!! Not only does the content look good, the trailer has a bit of a nostalgic feel to it like the older sims games by being silly.
I think (am hoping) this will be the one that will reignite my love for the sims. I love the in depth family dynamics. It really makes the sims feel like...the sims! Im so excited!
I really love the look of this I love how there's more interaction with the babies and toddlers and I love how you can carry the baby on your back with the holder, change the baby on the mat, teaching kids to bike ride. Love it
I’m really excited for this pack! I hope my families will finally be able to sit down to eat meals together now, mealtime is always so frustrating especially with large families!
The fact that the kids can loose teeth, kiss their toddler siblings on the forehead, the elders living in a community/rec center*, THERE'S JUST SO MUCH AND I AM LOVING EVERY BIT OF IT.
@Saeboogie Yeah true but someone might get excited thinking that toddlers hugging infants is a feature of the EP when it’s actually free in base game, like how some people got misled thinking ladders were included in eco lifestyle when they were free. So they might buy the pack for a feature that isn’t actually included.
@maxy I 100% agree!!! and also the trailer is misleading cus I bet half of those family interactions WILL be included in the base game infants update, meaning not much is actually included for your £35. but if they are only in the pack, that’s terrible too, because why should we pay extra for our child sims to kiss our toddler sims on the head? madness what they think they can monetise now.
It’s great but don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous that you have to buy an expansion pack just for these features that should be in the base game to begin with. like why do i have to pay extra just to have these simple family interactions.
i already love it icl, one feature i love is that it’s not just solely focused on the infants but there are other additions to the toddlers and children. I really think this will positively impact the whole game. I also loveeeeee new worlds and ones that I will actually use regularly, so far this one looks very liveable.
Things I noticed at first glance: 1. A HOME VIDEO CAMERA !!! 2. Belly time mats for infants 3. Bicycle riding for kids 4. Treehouse building! 5. Baby showers 6. Family game tables 7. Pillow fights & Sleepovers 8. Amazing interactions between toddlers and infants 9. A water park! 10. Changing tables & that's just some of it!! *edit* they confirmed that video camera's are not in the pack 😔, what a tease...
Oh bummer. Yeah especially when they dropped the camera sideways, that seemed like a for sure indication of a video camera. Not sure why else they’d make the video like that.
Hands down never been this excited for a Sims 4 pack before. I hope they did it justice and did it well. More like this please!!! You have lots to make up for!
My favorite part of the Sims is reproducing them lol I always choose the family aspiration. I would really love to see like a sims genetics expansion pack that focused on the breeding aspect of the game
This makes the sims actually look like a family instead of just random roommates like they do right now - I'm looking forward to seeing the gameplay stream!
@Aimee Barrett No not really, it’s just that weve been playing it since the sims 1 or 2, and we know the potential it has and how great of a game it can be. When simmers start complaining about things that’s when things actually change or get added to the game if you’ve noticed, bit strange huh 🤷🏻♀️
@t they've been doing it since the Sims 2. Bit strange how people want to complain about it. It's almost like simmers are trying to find things to complain about.
yeah, I'm not picking up Sims 4 until they get rid of that random mean interactions bug on the console. In the meantime, I've been playing Sims 3. I'm happy that y'all are finally getting the family pack after almost 10 years. lmao
Thank you so much the Sims Team for your hard work!! I cannot wait to experience the life you created, I've been playing the Sims since elementary and you guys always give the besttttt✨️✨️✨️✨️
I hope the devs see this and in case they do, I LOVE the new pack, it looks like it has so much fun stuff to do and really adds more content to raising children in the sims. I hope that we get a stroller too, for toddlers!
im soooooo excited for this!!! I only exclusively play families so this is gonna be great. Does anyone know if they've fixed the high chairs yet?? that's what was breaking the immersion for me mostly lol hopefully things will go smoothly because this trailer looks amazing!!!
This looks pretty cool. Hope that we will finally get what we want. There is some stuff that I want to see in this pack, but i will not complain if we'll get good gameplay. That's what I'm missing the most in ts4, gameplay, and I'm here for it!
This is essentially Generations which, in my opinion, was the best expansion pack from the sims 3. I love family dynamics. Parenthood helped me enjoy playing the sims 4 ❤️
@justin kaufman We have problems that need to be solved right now before adding more kids. Most people are delaying, limiting, or choosing not to have kids because of said problems. Government wants more kids then they need to stop ignoring issues
@Alex De la Loire open world allows more realistic features of the game, why would you want a loading screen when your Sims go to a shop it's a jarring issue that ruins the game, you can literally see a park and stand in it but have to wait for a loading screen just to play there lool what kind of nonsense is that? With open world you Sims can own vehicles, and gives the gameplay more dynamic features, like being able to control kids at school without having to leave the other household members behind I doubt this will compare to generation which was so diverse and dynamic, teens where able to throw house parties when the parents where away, more action and less rabbit holes Sims 4 feels lazy to me and makes the gameplay dull, rabbit screen or loading one for everything where is the actual fun in that? I really hope they fix all of this should they make a Sims 5, give people the option to have a open world version or loading screen for those who actually like it, can be done easily.
@Александра As a long time simmer I agree with him sims 3 was the best, It was actually worth the money, Sims 4 really isn't and comes off as a cheap downgrade compared to Sims 3 Only things that Sims 4 did better what the navigation feels smoother, the characters and overall graphics are better but not by that much, and easier time installing and using mods But bad thing is that mods is literally the only thing keeping the Sims franchise afloat right now, I didn't know what mods where when the Sims 3 came out and still didn't need them to enjoy the game, you playing the Sims 4 without mods, gonna get boring real quick too much fluff and not enough functional content If they ever get around to making Sims 5 they need to use Sims 3 as a base and work from there, bring back open world for starters best feature about the Sims 3 them fix the issues it came with e.g. family forgetting about each other when you move them to another town etc they do that guarantee Sims 5 can be the best out of the lot
From first looks, it seems awesome! It seems like they are finally listening to simmers, the last time I felt this seen was when cottage living/bunk beds came out. Simmers have been asking for more family game play for a while, and it is great they are giving us infants and a full expansion for it instead of just another game-pack or kit ( not dissing parenthood, I use it all the time! it's just good to get a full expansion finally)
I really wish there were trampolines too. I've been wanting that particular item for years now. But I love how kids can be picked up and that toddlers can be sweet to infants.
I‘d love to know if it also affects how related sims living in other households interact with each other, like if they randomly come over or invite you for holidays or even just for dinner and if they have somewhat of a relationships even if they didn‘t meet yet for example with their cousins or grand parents, aunts, uncles etc. i also hope they improve the family tree. the trailer looks great, the infants look very cute, the worlds looks great, i‘m very excited.
I hope they can do a preteen stage now that they see the importance of different life stages. They can go to middle school and have different aspirations from children and teens.
small things I love that I saw: -We can pick up and hug our kids now WHILE holding our baby on our back -Elder walking team -New all ages interactions -Toddlers can kick people now, like the little cute menaces that they are!😂 -Old/older people gameplay; give my grandkids random candy - Teach parents technology -I think aunts/uncles and cousins? (Seems hinted) - popping balloons at someone in a sleeping bag -New scars/genetic additions - JUST EVERYTHING❤❤❤❤ I just hope they expand the family tree system for this pack❤
@EG and AJ We are getting horse hints interestingly, so who knows! LOL While I do love TS3, I just can't enjoy it as much as TS4 lately. It's like the things I miss from TS3 and TS4 are getting bigger and bigger. I start leaning more towards TS4. All I really wanted was a family EP and I got it. Horses and cars can't win me back now!
YESSS we need more detailed family trees. I've always wanted that. They did add some more relationships, but aunts uncles and cousins should be recognized in the game too. Oh and teaching parents technology is awesome 🤣 I love "give my grandkids random candy" just the way it's worded is funny and doing that in-game is something they should've had a long time ago. But ofc they add it with this pack, all of it together because they all go with the theme. I apologize btw I am incredibly tired so writing a comment is hard right now.
@rima ni bruh they actually are making infants so who the heck knows what they might add They were probably just waiting and/or also seeing what people want the most. But, uh, horses are probably gone with cars and open world. That's ok! Want to play the Sims 3? *Buy the Sims 3 (and play it)*
@ASA ASA yeah, I can see some people wanting that gameplay with the in laws, but I do feel like that should be player driven and not a random goal that can pop up out of nowhere. The step children and extended family flirting is pretty gross and really needs fixing tho, it’s really unsettling to have a sim raise a child as their own and then want to woohoo with that child.
Oh my god this one is gonna be one of the best if there isn’t a lot of bugs. There is so much that adds everything you didn’t know you wanted but desperately need. And stuff simmers have been asking for lol
I'm in love with this pack, everything we needed to make this game more lively, i hope this pack doesnt end up like my wedding stories and high school years cause those were disappointing. I don't play family style cause it doesn't feel like a family. This might change that.
I have never done a legacy family but I want to do one with the new pack when it comes out. Hopefully it make families more fun especially with their first kid. :)
Yeah! I can't wait for this to be out. I felt the same way for other previous expansion packs like Snowy Escape, Werewolves or High School Years, I just can't wait for this to be out.
i am literally LIVING for this expansion pack omfg- like I’ve waited for more stuff for kid, teen and toddler plus a baby update to come for a looong time 😮💨 So ex-FREAKING-cited for this and infants ! ! ! SO CUTE- 🥺💕
🥰 I am so excited. I'm super excited about this new pack I have been waiting for, so now I will be able to have my family's. I always wanted i will be getting the pack soon. I will pre-order the exception pack. I just hope it doesn't freeze a lot or lags, but other than I can't wait until I get the expection
I'm just so glad to see more stuff for lifestages other than Young Adult! Because honestly, right now the babies are boring and I age them up straight away and I always wished Elder Sims should have more fun Elder-specific things that they can do. The new Infants look so cute and the new cross generational interactions look so sweet. Can't wait!
New things I have spotted: . NEW WORLD (San Sequoia) . Doing puzzles activity . Family centre community lots (?) . Picture wall for kids drawings . Cinema rabbit hole (Presumably) . Sleepovers . Sleeping Bags . Rocketship play item (Maybe build-able?) . WATERPARK! . New items for infants . Learning to ride bikes . Baby carriers . Balloon wakeup prank . Losing teeth and gaining pocket money . Build-able treehouses . Confetti cannons . Birthday gift giving . New rocking chairs . Old people jog (Power walking) . Grand parents coming to stay (Suitcase) . Domino board game . Old people not knowing how to use technology lol . Picnics
The elder not knowing how to use technology is really accurate I’m excited for this because I taught my grandpa how to text a few years ago before his passing but I love this and the whole splash pad.
@Meadow Broadhurst Oh perhaps yes IO did not pick up on that. Perhaps more themed gifts? Like you will more likely receive baby stuff at a baby shower, or toys at a kids birthday? In Seasons it was just more random objects like a book or a random lamp.
I love how it looks like an actual game and gameplay, rather that animation which has nothing to do with a game when you buy it!!💗 It really shows how it’s gonna look like
For ppl saying that parenthood is a game pack, yes you're right. But the point is that ea is breaking up packs into pieces. U shouldnt have to buy both parenthood and this pack for the full experience of family gameplay. Not to even mention the toddler and kids stuff packs. Its a cash grab and its annoying for us who love family gameplay bc they know we're still gonna eat it up.
@kify that’s what I thought too! I also really like it and I think for all the cas and gameplay it’s a great game pack! It adds a lot of missing little details, and I’m hoping that this expansion pack will do the same but on a larger scale! ❤️
parenthood was a game pack though? Its main mechanic was the parenting skill and the interactions that allows between parents and kids. They obviously aren't going to add as much stuff in a game pack lol
Omg I'm so freaking excited!!!! Finally we get a family pack it looks like generations honestly. It has gameplay for EVERY life stage IM SOOOO EXCITED. I finally have a reason to buy HSY and the marriage game pack. So I can finally start a proper generation play through. I'm soo excited 😊 🤗
My mom passed away when i was 6 years old. I remembered when Generation came out, I made my family for the first time in Sims 3 and share with her, all the moment that I couldn't in RL. It was a healing experience, in a way. I was waiting for so long this pack in sims 4, and now I will do that again and live new adventures.
@G O A T E D Yeah, for me was great. I sahre with her all my achivment, my degree.. and now maybe i'll do my wedding. But i would recomend use some cheats to make her inmoral. I know for a fact that my sims die making cereal... so, if you are trying to do something emotional, maybe is not the best let that thing can happened. Sorry for my english, so bad, not my first language. But did you undertand what i mean ? Ask me if you need help, I'd be more than happy to help you.
That kind of the magic of Sims. So many ppl have explored crushes, gender, sexual Identities, family dynamics that have been a helpful tool for them to grow and explore.
This is one pack I'm not waiting for a sale to buy. I'm getting it on release day! It works because I can buy the game after work on Thursday and start playing it that night and then I'm most likely going to have off work the Friday and Saturday after the release so I'll have time to actually sit down and properly play it!
This is literally probably cutest trailers I have ever seen🥹 the treehouses, bikes for kids, puzzles, helping elders, walks , water park … everything together It looks so good I cannot wait, I cannot wait
Por favor, coloquem no jogo uma forma de cada Sims ter seu próprio dinheiro. Acho que a jogabilidade independente de cada Sims pode ser mais divertido ❤️
ICYMI Simmers! Infants will be available as a free base game update on March 14. 👶
Learn more about the new lifestage in the first episode of Behind The Sims: kzclip.org/video/spC-n7rWp_k/бейне.html ✨
The update still isn’t working 😞
This should have been base game. Don't you ever feel embarrassed?
@smvfc be grateful there is an expansion pack like this, I’m so sick of people complaining that this shouldn’t be an expansion pack but an update, I understand that it is kind of unreasonable but there is like 50 different complaints about this on every trailer. Give it a rest!
no strollers 😥
They...weren't already?
This makes it look like a proper family rather than just a bunch of sims who live in a house together! 😁
Fr tho
wait till the gameplay to say..
Yup ^^
@Vem I don’t think so bc look at how big those are compared to past sims game. The packs don’t feel in-depth a lot but it is a huge upgrade from rabbit hole highschool and only being able to just ground our kids for something bad. I like how the team does it and take a topic and expands it
@Carrot we needed it for the sims 3
I love this endless game of “could’ve been in one pack” 🥰
@Mari Gold I agree!
If it Was in one pack it wouldnt be as detailed
Here's my take, dumb all the expansion packs and gameplay packs into the base game or at least the realistic ones (spa day, parenthood, highschool years, ect.) And cheapen the cost of more mythical expansion/gameplay packs
More people would be more willing to pay a cheap price for some cool content and since more would be able to buy it in turn more money could be made
I am still a teenager though so I don't know if this would work entirely but I feel like it would be a good way to help the communities issues with pack and still let us enjoy them at decent prices
This looks like something that should already be in the base game but we have to pay for.
EA games/The Sims, could learn something from hello games, which is..... its ok to add more to a game, and not charge anything for it....
pirate it then
sorry but that's equivalent to sims 3 generation.
And $40 at that...
@She‘s Mongolian ASMR so.. use sims4 updater?
Interaction between younger life stages and infants will be amazing! I love how children interact with babies IRL it's so cute so I hope we get a bunch of new actions!
Wow! So if you combine this with Parenthood, High School Years, My Wedding Stories, Kids Stuff, Toddler Stuff, and Nifty Knitting (for the rocking chairs), you can finally have Sims 4 Generations! (Remember when all this was one expansion pack?)
Well it’s not meant the be the same thing from past games because those games are still out their and if we keep getting the same things it gets boring
Yes 😂

11 am: puzzle time ☑
2 pm: water park ☑
4 pm: aerobics with Granny ☑
Wtf
Ariana what are you doing here???
@RedRoseSeptember22 But like... what if it didn't need a mod?!?!!?
@Alyssa Contreras LittleMsSam has a quick shower and bath mod :)
@The Sims hang on are we fixing how time works now? So things like showering don't take 4 hours to do.
I ain’t never smiled so hard at sim content before. This was beautiful! Parents visiting, kids being able to record and so much more. I’m excited!!😂
This is literally is parenthood literally
Smile from the beginning ☺️☺️
@George Ashraf true! that would be great. and i hope they also fix the issue where when you visit your parents they kick you out for trying to shower or sleep in your own home lol
@maxy knowing the sims some of this might be in the base game and some the dlc, they might include the parents visiting thing in base game
idk why but I teared up a little bit 😂
I’m glad that it’s not coming out right away so the sims team has a chance to look at the community’s feedback. Honestly I’m really excited! It looks like it could definitely be a solid pack. The only thing I’m a bit bummed out about is there is no mention of daycare or babysitters. I feel like that would be such a good opportunity for an active career. I’m curious to see how all this shakes out.
When has the sims team ever looked at the communitys feedback?
That's an amazing idea. That sounds like such a fun active career
Omg you’re so right I would live for that tbh and also elementary school could be fun
I’m a family orientated kinda simmer so this pack is a must have for me! I also cant wait for the infants update they look so adorable.
This isn't _just_ making babies more functional - this is giving them life that the sims franchise has literally never given them before. They went over and beyond what was expected of them.
I mean, who wasn't thinking they were just going to drop it and push this kind of content to The Sims 5, which we all know is in the works? I did.
I adore the High School pack and the tremendous work that was put into it. I wasn't expecting anything revolutionary from this pack, but I have been proven completely wrong.
Thanks for still doing your best, despite what the grumbling ones have said.
This is what The Sims has always been for me. Even with the nightlife packs, the supernatural stuff and even pets. At the end of it all, I really just wanted to create families full of life. I can't wait
@nico "Be happy for once" I bought all the packs thinking they all looked fun enough to buy yet not one "expect maybe werewolves and get to work" were worth it.

Also consumers have the right to complain about a terrible overpriced product especially when EA keeps producing more of the same basic crap.
@Hunter Lawrence you right
@Kitty Underwood The Sims 3 one was called Generations. Parenthood is a Sims 4 Game Pack
@Anna M This is literally the same as the parenthood expansion for sims 3
Couldn’t help but have a tear in my eye towards the end of the video. Finally a representation of Generations which I played for countless hours and will forever have a special place in my heart. I remember treehouses, home videos, and so many small details that made the game special; I see that some of these key gameplay elements in Generations will now be included with Growing Together. Thank you.
In the last year, the Sims has really stepped up their game! The new packs and updates have been amazing and I really appreciate that they applied to what we have been suggesting. With this pack, my household members can now finally make special unique memories that make them feel like actual family! After March, The Sims 4 will be so fun and awesome!! ❤❤❤

I really love the look of this I love how there's more interaction with the babies and toddlers and I love how you can carry the baby on your back with the holder, change the baby on the mat, teaching kids to bike ride. Love it
Please let this be the family expansion pack I've been wanting! And hopefully the new world will be a nice change from all the rural towns lately
Weird it says the vid was released 9 days ago and your comment says 11 days ago 😳
P
You mean like... Parenthood that was released a long time ago?
I think it will be like the generation dlc they had in the sims 3
KZclips made the homes
I’m really excited for this pack! I hope my families will finally be able to sit down to eat meals together now, mealtime is always so frustrating especially with large families!
This looks so heartfelt and whimsical. Can't wait for it to drop and hoping for no bugs/tech issues 🤞🏽💕
A coisa que eu mais amo é a interação familiar dentro do game, ansiosa pra essa expansões tomara que não decepcione
This pack looks lovely!!! 😮 I hope it’s what us simmers have all been looking for!!! That world looks beautiful and I’m excited to see it ❤
I love how the sims music is in their language but it has a little bop to it 🎶🎶
The fact that the kids can loose teeth, kiss their toddler siblings on the forehead, the elders living in a community/rec center*, THERE'S JUST SO MUCH AND I AM LOVING EVERY BIT OF IT.
@Saeboogie Yeah true but someone might get excited thinking that toddlers hugging infants is a feature of the EP when it’s actually free in base game, like how some people got misled thinking ladders were included in eco lifestyle when they were free. So they might buy the pack for a feature that isn’t actually included.
@H F umm I think your thinking is a little off usually the ep has more than the base game
@maxy I 100% agree!!! and also the trailer is misleading cus I bet half of those family interactions WILL be included in the base game infants update, meaning not much is actually included for your £35. but if they are only in the pack, that’s terrible too, because why should we pay extra for our child sims to kiss our toddler sims on the head? madness what they think they can monetise now.
It’s great but don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous that you have to buy an expansion pack just for these features that should be in the base game to begin with. like why do i have to pay extra just to have these simple family interactions.
@~asleep~ yeah true, I’m a bit scarred after the “gameplay” in snowy escape ngl so praying it isn’t as shallow as that
I’ve been waiting since the first sims came to out to enjoy more interactions with my babies ❤ but pls let their be STROLLERS!!!!!
love how this pack looks!! with the infants and the new animations and interactions.. ahh it’s just soo cute. can’t wait for the release!
THEY ARE FINALLY DOING MORE THINGS WITH BABIES?!?!?! OMG WHAT
ITS A DREAM COME TRUEEEE
YOU CAN BUILD A TREEHOUSE 😭
I WILL PLAY THE SIMS AGAIN WITH THIS
I can't wait for this!!!!!! It looks soooo cute!!!! I haven't been excited for a new EP in sooo long ♥♥♥♥
i already love it icl, one feature i love is that it’s not just solely focused on the infants but there are other additions to the toddlers and children. I really think this will positively impact the whole game. I also loveeeeee new worlds and ones that I will actually use regularly, so far this one looks very liveable.
Things I noticed at first glance:
1. A HOME VIDEO CAMERA !!!
2. Belly time mats for infants
3. Bicycle riding for kids
4. Treehouse building!
5. Baby showers
6. Family game tables
7. Pillow fights & Sleepovers
8. Amazing interactions between toddlers and infants
9. A water park!
10. Changing tables
& that's just some of it!!
*edit* they confirmed that video camera's are not in the pack 😔, what a tease...
It also seems like retirement homes might be added? And senior activities, maybe?
Oh bummer. Yeah especially when they dropped the camera sideways, that seemed like a for sure indication of a video camera. Not sure why else they’d make the video like that.
They confirmed no home video camera by the way
@ave is not coming either way
number one should have been infants tbh
I haven't been this excited since parenthood....as someone who plays big families constantly I'm so EXCITED
Hands down never been this excited for a Sims 4 pack before. I hope they did it justice and did it well. More like this please!!! You have lots to make up for!
I am very excited for this pack. THIS IS THE STUFF THAT MATTERS!! Keep it up with more like this :)
My favorite part of the Sims is reproducing them lol I always choose the family aspiration. I would really love to see like a sims genetics expansion pack that focused on the breeding aspect of the game
This looks so amazing!!!! Finally real families ❤️
This makes the sims actually look like a family instead of just random roommates like they do right now - I'm looking forward to seeing the gameplay stream!
@Aimee Barrett No not really, it’s just that weve been playing it since the sims 1 or 2, and we know the potential it has and how great of a game it can be. When simmers start complaining about things that’s when things actually change or get added to the game if you’ve noticed, bit strange huh 🤷🏻♀️
Errm they don't look like random roomates?
@t they've been doing it since the Sims 2. Bit strange how people want to complain about it. It's almost like simmers are trying to find things to complain about.
@waffles ♡ Then don't play it
yeah, I'm not picking up Sims 4 until they get rid of that random mean interactions bug on the console. In the meantime, I've been playing Sims 3.
I'm happy that y'all are finally getting the family pack after almost 10 years. lmao
Thank you so much the Sims Team for your hard work!! I cannot wait to experience the life you created, I've been playing the Sims since elementary and you guys always give the besttttt✨️✨️✨️✨️
I hope the devs see this and in case they do, I LOVE the new pack, it looks like it has so much fun stuff to do and really adds more content to raising children in the sims. I hope that we get a stroller too, for toddlers!
REALLY loved this trailer! I can't wait to build houses for you guys to download and play in!
im soooooo excited for this!!! I only exclusively play families so this is gonna be great. Does anyone know if they've fixed the high chairs yet?? that's what was breaking the immersion for me mostly lol hopefully things will go smoothly because this trailer looks amazing!!!
This looks pretty cool. Hope that we will finally get what we want. There is some stuff that I want to see in this pack, but i will not complain if we'll get good gameplay. That's what I'm missing the most in ts4, gameplay, and I'm here for it!
This is essentially Generations which, in my opinion, was the best expansion pack from the sims 3. I love family dynamics. Parenthood helped me enjoy playing the sims 4 ❤️
@charity what's stopping you from enjoying it? They're allowed to have an opinion
@justin kaufman We have problems that need to be solved right now before adding more kids. Most people are delaying, limiting, or choosing not to have kids because of said problems. Government wants more kids then they need to stop ignoring issues
@Alex De la Loire yeah but the only big difference with occults is that they have a skill tree now. It doesn't justify them being split up...
@Alex De la Loire open world allows more realistic features of the game, why would you want a loading screen when your Sims go to a shop it's a jarring issue that ruins the game, you can literally see a park and stand in it but have to wait for a loading screen just to play there lool what kind of nonsense is that?
With open world you Sims can own vehicles, and gives the gameplay more dynamic features, like being able to control kids at school without having to leave the other household members behind
I doubt this will compare to generation which was so diverse and dynamic, teens where able to throw house parties when the parents where away, more action and less rabbit holes
Sims 4 feels lazy to me and makes the gameplay dull, rabbit screen or loading one for everything where is the actual fun in that?
I really hope they fix all of this should they make a Sims 5, give people the option to have a open world version or loading screen for those who actually like it, can be done easily.
@Александра As a long time simmer I agree with him sims 3 was the best, It was actually worth the money, Sims 4 really isn't and comes off as a cheap downgrade compared to Sims 3
Only things that Sims 4 did better what the navigation feels smoother, the characters and overall graphics are better but not by that much, and easier time installing and using mods
But bad thing is that mods is literally the only thing keeping the Sims franchise afloat right now, I didn't know what mods where when the Sims 3 came out and still didn't need them to enjoy the game, you playing the Sims 4 without mods, gonna get boring real quick too much fluff and not enough functional content
If they ever get around to making Sims 5 they need to use Sims 3 as a base and work from there, bring back open world for starters best feature about the Sims 3 them fix the issues it came with e.g. family forgetting about each other when you move them to another town etc they do that guarantee Sims 5 can be the best out of the lot
From first looks, it seems awesome! It seems like they are finally listening to simmers, the last time I felt this seen was when cottage living/bunk beds came out. Simmers have been asking for more family game play for a while, and it is great they are giving us infants and a full expansion for it instead of just another game-pack or kit ( not dissing parenthood, I use it all the time! it's just good to get a full expansion finally)
I'm so proud of you for doing this! I've hoped for this for awhile. ❤ Thank you!!!
This gave me Sims 3 Generations vibes Here for it 😍❤
I really wish there were trampolines too. I've been wanting that particular item for years now.
But I love how kids can be picked up and that toddlers can be sweet to infants.
I‘d love to know if it also affects how related sims living in other households interact with each other, like if they randomly come over or invite you for holidays or even just for dinner and if they have somewhat of a relationships even if they didn‘t meet yet for example with their cousins or grand parents, aunts, uncles etc.
i also hope they improve the family tree.
the trailer looks great, the infants look very cute, the worlds looks great, i‘m very excited.
Everyone is waiting for infants, but I really want the old people to add gameplay!
@Anna Parks Yeah but the point is that I shouldn't have to do that. It's fine though because they said they extended the lifespan for elders.
@JordieSama I’m pretty sure you can turn off aging in the settings
fr
Yes but is it just me or did in the beginning of the trailer it looked like a retirement home?
OMG YASSSS 😭😭😭
I think nobody payed attention to elder stuff
I LOVE IT
I'm so excited about this. It looks like it's going to give me everything I've been wanting lately.
So excited for this expansion pack and the addition of infants being added into the base game going to be a wonderful year for the sims this year
Man, wish this came out last year while I was pregnant. But now I'm living it all! This trailer actually looks pretty accurate, good job team.
I hope they can do a preteen stage now that they see the importance of different life stages. They can go to middle school and have different aspirations from children and teens.
this is literally making me emotional! I’ve been waiting for this for so long 😊
small things I love that I saw:
-We can pick up and hug our kids now WHILE holding our baby on our back
-Elder walking team
-New all ages interactions
-Toddlers can kick people now, like the little cute menaces that they are!😂
-Old/older people gameplay; give my grandkids random candy
- Teach parents technology
-I think aunts/uncles and cousins? (Seems hinted)
- popping balloons at someone in a sleeping bag
-New scars/genetic additions
- JUST EVERYTHING❤❤❤❤
I just hope they expand the family tree system for this pack❤
@EG and AJ We are getting horse hints interestingly, so who knows! LOL While I do love TS3, I just can't enjoy it as much as TS4 lately. It's like the things I miss from TS3 and TS4 are getting bigger and bigger. I start leaning more towards TS4. All I really wanted was a family EP and I got it. Horses and cars can't win me back now!
YESSS we need more detailed family trees. I've always wanted that. They did add some more relationships, but aunts uncles and cousins should be recognized in the game too.
Oh and teaching parents technology is awesome 🤣
I love "give my grandkids random candy" just the way it's worded is funny and doing that in-game is something they should've had a long time ago. But ofc they add it with this pack, all of it together because they all go with the theme. I apologize btw I am incredibly tired so writing a comment is hard right now.
@rima ni bruh they actually are making infants so who the heck knows what they might add
They were probably just waiting and/or also seeing what people want the most.
But, uh, horses are probably gone with cars and open world. That's ok! Want to play the Sims 3? *Buy the Sims 3 (and play it)*
Wooow I didn't see everything thank you
@ASA ASA yeah, I can see some people wanting that gameplay with the in laws, but I do feel like that should be player driven and not a random goal that can pop up out of nowhere. The step children and extended family flirting is pretty gross and really needs fixing tho, it’s really unsettling to have a sim raise a child as their own and then want to woohoo with that child.
This feels like new life is being breathed into the Sims. I’m so excited for this to come out!!
I can't wait for this !! It's so cute!
I was actually just finishing up this generations family I was about to do and this is perfect timing!!!
I love this trailer!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Finally! This is the exact kind of pack I've been waiting for 😭💕
There should be something where grandparents can come watch the kids or drop them over there so parents can have a day off or night out.
The grandparents are coming over and watching the kids. That's what the trailer shows.
@Spring's Bliss I like original gameplay on certain games
@The Holy Gamer mods are great
@Yorbelize LittleMsSam Spend Weekend With
@Spring's Bliss What's the mod? it sounds amazing
And right after I just completed my legacy challenge! So excited to actually play with baby’s and not age them up immediately 😄
How do you complete the legacy challenge? What is the endpoint? I have a 10th gen family, and just have no idea when I've fulfilled the challenge. 😅
Love that it’s filmed like a home video. I hope we get a new lot venue and funerals
This pack looks so precious~! I simply cannot wait. 🥺😭💖
This looks absolutely AMAZING, I cannot wait for this to come out!!!
This looks like I’ll finically be able to to play again! So much more to do. It looks amazing
This is honestly the best sims trailer in a while, please don’t let us down
@Fish King of the Aquarium lmao I have a feeling it will 😭😭
you already know this gonna be a buggy mess XD
It's EA. Letting people down is kind of what they do.
Oh my god this one is gonna be one of the best if there isn’t a lot of bugs. There is so much that adds everything you didn’t know you wanted but desperately need. And stuff simmers have been asking for lol
I'm in love with this pack, everything we needed to make this game more lively, i hope this pack doesnt end up like my wedding stories and high school years cause those were disappointing. I don't play family style cause it doesn't feel like a family. This might change that.
I have never done a legacy family but I want to do one with the new pack when it comes out. Hopefully it make families more fun especially with their first kid. :)
fr im definitely going to do a legacy family now with this!
the game keeps getting better, i love it !
I haven’t felt this much excitement over a Sims expansion pack in a really long time! This is what we want!
Yeah! I can't wait for this to be out. I felt the same way for other previous expansion packs like Snowy Escape, Werewolves or High School Years, I just can't wait for this to be out.
Yes! This is what I have been waiting for too!
i am literally LIVING for this expansion pack omfg- like I’ve waited for more stuff for kid, teen and toddler plus a baby update to come for a looong time 😮💨
So ex-FREAKING-cited for this and infants ! ! ! SO CUTE- 🥺💕
I am so so excited this actually looks amazing for once!
for the first time in a while, I'm excited about an expansion pack. Well done Sims!
🥰 I am so excited. I'm super excited about this new pack I have been waiting for, so now I will be able to have my family's. I always wanted i will be getting the pack soon. I will pre-order the exception pack. I just hope it doesn't freeze a lot or lags, but other than I can't wait until I get the expection
I'm just so glad to see more stuff for lifestages other than Young Adult! Because honestly, right now the babies are boring and I age them up straight away and I always wished Elder Sims should have more fun Elder-specific things that they can do. The new Infants look so cute and the new cross generational interactions look so sweet. Can't wait!
New things I have spotted:
. NEW WORLD (San Sequoia)
. Doing puzzles activity
. Family centre community lots (?)
. Picture wall for kids drawings
. Cinema rabbit hole (Presumably)
. Sleepovers
. Sleeping Bags
. Rocketship play item (Maybe build-able?)
. WATERPARK!
. New items for infants
. Learning to ride bikes
. Baby carriers
. Balloon wakeup prank
. Losing teeth and gaining pocket money
. Build-able treehouses
. Confetti cannons
. Birthday gift giving
. New rocking chairs
. Old people jog (Power walking)
. Grand parents coming to stay (Suitcase)
. Domino board game
. Old people not knowing how to use technology lol
. Picnics
Anyone else see a different kind of piano in the background?
@Kerahia Jno Baptiste me toooo
The elder not knowing how to use technology is really accurate I’m excited for this because I taught my grandpa how to text a few years ago before his passing but I love this and the whole splash pad.
I saw a baby shower and a retirement home. Is it me?
@Meadow Broadhurst Oh perhaps yes IO did not pick up on that. Perhaps more themed gifts? Like you will more likely receive baby stuff at a baby shower, or toys at a kids birthday? In Seasons it was just more random objects like a book or a random lamp.
Haven’t played the sims or bought a pack in over 2 years. This makes me want to get back into it! I hope it’s worth it!
I love how it looks like an actual game and gameplay, rather that animation which has nothing to do with a game when you buy it!!💗 It really shows how it’s gonna look like
The baby scooting at the end was just perfect 😂❤
Changing table & Tree house is back to The sims franchise 😍
I love it, I’m excited and grateful for this pack-but honestly we all know this should’ve been in parenthood 😭
@DAJ Madness yes hehe this is what I meant, I know it’s a game pack so it’s quite limited but yeah anyway you get my point thanks dude 😂
I hope they've done proper pack compatibility testing so that parenthood and this one work well together unlike HSY and parenthood clashes.
For ppl saying that parenthood is a game pack, yes you're right. But the point is that ea is breaking up packs into pieces. U shouldnt have to buy both parenthood and this pack for the full experience of family gameplay. Not to even mention the toddler and kids stuff packs. Its a cash grab and its annoying for us who love family gameplay bc they know we're still gonna eat it up.
@kify that’s what I thought too! I also really like it and I think for all the cas and gameplay it’s a great game pack! It adds a lot of missing little details, and I’m hoping that this expansion pack will do the same but on a larger scale! ❤️
parenthood was a game pack though? Its main mechanic was the parenting skill and the interactions that allows between parents and kids. They obviously aren't going to add as much stuff in a game pack lol
Probably my most awaited among all the EP!
Omg I'm so freaking excited!!!! Finally we get a family pack it looks like generations honestly. It has gameplay for EVERY life stage IM SOOOO EXCITED. I finally have a reason to buy HSY and the marriage game pack. So I can finally start a proper generation play through. I'm soo excited 😊 🤗
Not sure how I missed this but glad I checked this out. Seems like a really solid pack!
If we get everything shown in the trailer this will be an awesome pack. Hopefully family reunions will be able to have more than 8 playable sims.
I seriously cannot wait! There are so many things to be excited about from this trailer
My mom passed away when i was 6 years old. I remembered when Generation came out, I made my family for the first time in Sims 3 and share with her, all the moment that I couldn't in RL. It was a healing experience, in a way.
I was waiting for so long this pack in sims 4, and now I will do that again and live new adventures.
@Nimueth thank you, it really is. I'm really happy for you, sending my love right back! ❤️
@G O A T E D Yeah, for me was great. I sahre with her all my achivment, my degree.. and now maybe i'll do my wedding. But i would recomend use some cheats to make her inmoral.
I know for a fact that my sims die making cereal... so, if you are trying to do something emotional, maybe is not the best let that thing can happened. Sorry for my english, so bad, not my first language.
But did you undertand what i mean ? Ask me if you need help, I'd be more than happy to help you.
@kitty meowmeow I'm so sorry for that. Is hard to deal with. But i found in the Sims a way to do it. I send you all my love and care =)
@Jay Bee Thanks !!! Yeah. I was thinking since I did my real life in Sims 3, i can do some crazy thing in sims 4, like other race :P
That kind of the magic of Sims. So many ppl have explored crushes, gender, sexual Identities, family dynamics that have been a helpful tool for them to grow and explore.
This is one pack I'm not waiting for a sale to buy. I'm getting it on release day! It works because I can buy the game after work on Thursday and start playing it that night and then I'm most likely going to have off work the Friday and Saturday after the release so I'll have time to actually sit down and properly play it!
That's what parenthood pack should have been from the begging. I love it!
Okay, this is gonna be absolutely the best expansion ever!
Amo esta expansión😍😍😍
i'm actually crying because the sims 3 generations is everything to me since i was a kid. THANK YOU.
This is literally probably cutest trailers I have ever seen🥹 the treehouses, bikes for kids, puzzles, helping elders, walks , water park … everything together It looks so good I cannot wait, I cannot wait
@Tony Redgrave and that’s OK… it’s okay to not like some parts and to be fair it’s part of life when kid grows up😸
The kid ripping out his tooth made me super uncomfortable and removed my ability to enioy the trailer but it looks pretty cool anyway
This is niceee
Por favor, coloquem no jogo uma forma de cada Sims ter seu próprio dinheiro. Acho que a jogabilidade independente de cada Sims pode ser mais divertido ❤️
ver este trailer una y otra vez me hace feliz, por favor, no me decepciones, expansión...
March 16th needs to come right now !! I am so excited and hopefully this will be successful and not a tragedy like the wedding pack
the kids socializing with the elders and the grandparents coming home to visit... THIS IS AWESOME
