Line 474:
It feels good now because it's new but i know just like get together the newness will die out and the game once again will feel quite lackluster.
==Vampires==
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. ''Finally'', we get to have another Occult Lifestate! We knew it was coming cause leaks were happening left and right just like City Living so meh, BUT STILL.
First the first time in the series a lifestate (a complex one at that) get their own focused pack, allowing to fufill UP TO MAXIMUM (debatable) POTENTIAL.
The Sims 4: Vampires is easily the BEST rendition of vampires to date in the ENTIRE SIMS SERIES. Now Sims can become vampires or CREATE OUR OWN VAMPIRES JUST LIKE ALIENS, Oh.. and they have their own CAS FEATURES (!!!!!!!!).
The game pack is filled to the brim with gothic attire and furniture as well as it's fair share of modernised gothic things. Which is great and a GREAT addition is the decals for cracks and wallpaper tears and stains which can be made with almost any build is amazing. There are so many gargoyles (Including WEREWOLF gargoyles!! #NotAHint) and statues to place down and it's just so great.
The NEW WORLD of Forgotten Hollow is eeriely amazing, just the intrinsiquely beautiful dark look of the town and the magnificent glowing lights and everything when it's night time make it really beautiful. The world is so detailed albeit small, but still very dense and jam packed with little hidden stuff and beautiful glorious atmosphere. There are new garlic and wolfsbane (WEREWOLF #NotAHint), as well as a new special Plasma Fruit tree for the new bloodsuckers in town...
Now finally... the main event of the pack. Finally vampires are in the game... We can create a HUGE RANGE of vampires from gothic traditional vampires to modern daywalking vampires to vampires from the Vampire Diaries, to Buffy vampires,etc. With the help of the vast array of new facial features, skin tones, teeth and that for customising your vampire... and as well as the NEW VAMPIRE POWERS (Which in coding is named OccultPowers which means they'll be used again!!!).
Vampire powers in the sims 4 blow any vampire out the park and even knock out the sims 3 vampire powers x3 outof the gothic park of vampiric powers. Loads of new vamp abilities as you rank up the vampire ranks like turning into a bat, mind reading, mind control, supernatural speed, creating other vamps, sun resistance, garlic immunity, etc. And with every few ranks you must pick a weakness from a small bunch of weaknesses which are all great to balance out your vampiric life.
Vampires also have tons of little features such as No reflection in the mirrors (even a vamp bear!), Holes in the neck of the sim you recently bit, When turning other sims they drink the vampires blood, Vampires can now compel sims to drink rather than asking (!!!!).
Of course i have some complaints... such as the bat form isn't like bat form in The sims 2, it's literally the mist form teleporting with just a bat flying before the mist comes, vampires don't have the cool little hunt ability but compared to the rest of the abilities im ok with it, the world is small but i'm still ok with it due to the world being so pretty and that. Of course i would've loved a bit more work on the powers, most of them have the same animation and it was bound to have limits due to it being a game pack but it's still great non the less.
A big flaw i see is not to do with the pack itself, but the sims 4 as a whole and aliens. These vampires are literally so great and are the best in the series and they couldn't do something like this for the Aliens back in Get to Work, other than the update adding the alien plumbob and trait icon for occult lifestate in CAS, i'm pretty sure the aliens will never get improved on or added with their own variety of powers or that. The Sims 3 Aliens still hold a special place with their cool brain need and alternative to sleeping as well as their FRIGGEN AMAZING UFOS that i'm sad the sims 4 doesn't have.
I'm still bummed that lifestates weren't carried out throughout the years and we had to wait 2 YEARS for another lifestate. But i'm still really satisfied with this pack.
Overall, this pack is just amazing. So much is in this pack and so many little features and overall content, it REALLY felt like a proper sims pack like from the sims 2 era, of course it was a game pack so it wasn't going to be as big but The Sims 4 Vampires is easily one of the best packs so far and i think for the future of the sims 4.
==Bowling Night Stuff==
Another day, another stuffpack!
This seemed really cool initially and i really like the whole 50's attire about the whole pack.
The CAS items are soo 50's and make me feel like it was a drop out of the back to the future extras and shoved into this pack. The furniture is really retro too adding that cool snaz to everything.
And Finally the new gameplay additions, the Bowling Alley, and a.... new skill??? With an accompaning Achievement?!?!
The Bowling alley is really cool looking and works exactly like previous sims games. The Moonlight Bowling addition when it's night time is a really beautiful display and the little videos ont he alley to signal the score of the sim's bowl is funny.
The new skill is a 5 level bowling skill and allows for your sim to unlock new bowling ball variants which is just delightful as well as the new skull in the bowling ball master to get some awesome trick shots. There's also another achievement! i know right, the last time an achievement was added was in Get To Work... 2 whole years ago :p.. but i digress...
My complaint about this stuff pack is that... what i said about the bowling alley, it worked exactly like previous games... exactly... like previous games.... that means it has had no improvement other than a couple reskinned bowling bowls and different animations of your sims being smucks or being pros at bowling. I soooo would've loved if they upgraded the bowling alleys to make the sims do a second go cause Sims would bowl one and have to start over again or wait their turn, even if they have a few pinheads left. I would have loved a score system for multiple sims to have fun for the whole family or something.
I also would've loved if they added more arcade machines, and not that giant hunk of a arcade machine in Get Together, which i do love, it's just i prefer those little arcade beatem ups or button mashing ones for funsies on bowling lots.
Overall, this is a really neato (heyooo) stuff pack. It's made some improvements and really introduces the 50's theme into the sims 4 which is a much need change from the typical overly modern stuff we've been getting (well ever since vampires and their addams family attire came along).
==Other Games i play==
I play many Many other games other than sims.
