程度の副詞

I'm already tired of talking about this pack and I haven't even started!

様態の副詞

This is The Sims 4: My First Pet Stuff and it is unbelievably the 14th stuff pack to

The Sims 4. *14TH!* It costs $10 and lets you play with virtual rodents. Yep

So I find at this point it's probably a good idea to reiterate that I actually do

like The Sims as a series. I'm not making videos criticizing it because I hate it,

but because I truly want to see it become better and better. That being said

this is not the day that happens because what we've got is The Sims 4 My First

Pet Stuff... and it's the single stupidest pack for The Sims 4 thus far. What I mean

by that is this is the first time that a stuff pack requires you to have bought

a previous pack in order to fully utilize it. Seriously, an expansion for an

expansion. This means that unless you've already bought and installed the $40

Cats and Dogs expansion pack you do not get to use everything in the $10 First

Pet Stuff pack that you just bought. I can hear Ralph

*Ralph suddenly bursts into flame, dramatic music and fire sound effects ensue*

Well that was dramatic. But okay, before I get too far ahead of myself, let's take a

look at what you actually get here. And well this is more complicated than usual

because what you get is determined by whether or not you have the Cats and

Dogs pack, but I'm gonna do my best. Pretty much if something you see in here

applies to either a cat or a dog you won't be able to use it unless you have

the expansion to go along with it. So you pay for all these cat and dog

outfits regardless of whether or not you have the actual cats and dogs, isn't that

fun? And that's notable because the majority of the new clothing here is

only for cats and dogs there are only a few items for your humanoid sims. So you

get a few hairstyles for adults, a single shirt and a hamster outfit, a single

shirt and a onesie for kids, and a hat a shirt and a onesie for toddlers.

Oh and pretty much all of these are recolors and slight alterations of

things that were already added to the game previously. Granted, this is nothing

shocking considering how often it's happened before in The Sims 4, but it's

just a little bit of extra salt in the wound that I find amusingly

disheartening. Same goes with the build mode objects like these desks and chairs

and things that fit perfectly with the design and color swatches of the items

that were included in Cats & Dogs. Gee, what a coincidence, almost like they

were made for that pack to begin with! Suspiciously shared design language or

not, you get a grand total of 35 objects in this pack, starting with two couches

and two chairs -- one of which kind of looks like a hamster swallowed an

ottoman. You also get two cat-inspired lamps, a bookcase, a small hamster toy, and

a few wall decorations. A round end table and an aquarium coffee table, the latter

of which looks cooler than it actually is since you can't customize the fish or

interact with it in any way. Speaking of "cooler than it looks," I thought these

hamster habitat tubes might let your rodents wander all over the walls

through custom pathways or something, but nope. They're just flat decals. Then you

get three window shades, two pet doors, a flattened rodent rug, a tree stump

feeding bowl, another pet toy box, another litter box, and another set of cat condos.

There are also two pet beds, which is fine but I really thought this would

have been a good opportunity to include some dog houses.

But nah, guess not. And yeah, if you've noted a good chunk of this stuff will only be

useful to you if you have Cats & Dogs. So if you don't own that then a lot of

this stuff just acts as a constant teaser to buy more content so you don't

feel left out, and I assume that's the point. And finally you get four rodent

homes with this pack -- regardless of what you owned previously, how generous!

Each one comes in the same cage and can do the same things, but aesthetically they

do differ, giving you the choice of a hamster, a hedgehog, a rat,

*DING!* I don't know, THAT. It's a little purple voidcritter thing.

Anyway these are always simpler to care for and don't take up a family slot

like cats and dogs do, and all you are really responsible for with them is

giving them a little food, attention, and cleaning every so often and that's it!

They're quite self-sufficient. And just hanging around and doing rodent things,

like eating, sleeping, taking sand baths, and running around wheels because you

Younger sims can choose to study them as well in order to take care of their

homework for the day, and most anyone can give them treats, talk to them, or take

them out to play for a second. Granted, you cannot actually choose

individual play interactions or take them out of the cage beyond anywhere

right in front of the door, but these interactions do improve your

relationship with each rodent. And that's important because

And biting from a dirty critter can also lead to a new sickness:

Rabid Rodent Fever. And suffice to say your sims will not feel up to "livin' large"

when they have this. Researching it on the web or a visit to the vet's

office can help them get rid of it, but otherwise it's a fatal disease and

*sounds of a mouth-foaming death occur. jeez.*

When they're not trying to murder you with rabid nastiness,

rodents also get up to some strange activities at night, like

holding raves and testing tiny little nuclear devices. *BOOM*

They seem to have a bit of a Pinky and The Brain thing

going on, where they're constantly messing around

with odd projects and even reaching scientific breakthroughs or ghostwriting

bestselling novels. And then sometimes they'll go on vacation for an afternoon,

sending you a collectible (but ultimately useless) postcard as a cheap consolation

while they're off frolicking on the beach having the time of their lives.

Sounds like an apt analogy for how EA treats simmers if I've ever heard one.

And that's it for The Sims 4 First Pet Stuff. Again, this is $10. And you only get

everything you paid for if you've already paid them for Cats & Dogs in

the past, effectively making it a $50 experience to get everything altogether.

And no, it is not worth buying if you ask me. Even with some cutesy

creatures the overall content itself is straight-up lacking in a big way due to

being both shoddily slapped together in a short amount of time, and because of

how a chunk of potential customers are made to pay for stuff they can't even

use without shelling out another 40 bucks. And that just bothers me, man. In my

eyes, they should have either made all of this content apply to Cats & Dogs

owners only, or only include stuff that can be used by everyone. This mixing of

the two without any regard for what you've bought before comes across as

cynical to me, like they're trying to see how far they can push players by teasing
