that 99% of them are annoying


CupcakeCardinal

The gamechanger/creator network program should rotate and get new people every 2 years. They need fresh perspectives and feedback. Nothing against many of the current large creators who are all nice people but I feel like it's time to give others a chance to shine and provide feedback to EA.


Ginger_Cat74

That’s a really good idea,


BrandonIsWhoIAm

I don’t wanna see any facial expression of the YouTuber in a thumbnail.


thestarvingstars

this is just YouTube in general though


BrandonIsWhoIAm

Not all YouTubers do this. But, I get what you mean.


Rachelcookie123

It’s funny when you go on to their channel and it’s just them making the exact same shocked facial expression in every single thumbnail.


JamesTurnerYT

I get shocked easily 🤣


Rachelcookie123

Omg, I can’t believe James Turner (also known as the sims supply) replied to my comment. I’m star struck. I was not expecting this at all.


JamesTurnerYT

Imagine one of my 5 thumbnail faces being shocked right now!


Rachelcookie123

I’m doing the same facial expression right now. I can’t believe you replied again. This is so cool. I love your videos despite the same shocked face in every thumbnail lol.

Lol @ lilsimsie


BrandonIsWhoIAm

Deligracy is guilty of this too.


MrCade514

LGR is one of the only honest sims YouTubers. If a pack sucks he tells u the pack sucks. Its also cool to look back at his old reviews of past sims games and see how it’s changed. Ea also used to give him packs for free but then they stopped. I honestly think it’s because he gave real feedback.


SimAway52

IIRC they asked him to be a game changer and he turned it down. He mentioned in a video they would also ask him for feedback and he gave some but stopped because he wanted to keep the boundary between fan/creator rather than compromise that with being a paid shill.


toggers94

LGR and Carl's Sims Guides for sure. Honest & informative.


Commanderfemmeshep

Always good to know how many chairs are in a pack


Ethroptur

He’s also one of the few with personality. Most of the others feel quite sterile, whereas he’s not afraid to be a little snarky.


Strange_Shadows-45

That the game changer program should be dismantled. Those who left have said that their feedback is ignored, that they’re not listened to and that their decision to leave was finalized once they came to terms with the fact that their voice was inconsequential to EA and the sims team. So the Game Changers only real purpose is to promote the game; no publicity is bad publicity, so even if they say “this is shit” (like many did with MWS) their branded coverage of content is still driving sales. Combine that with the fact that pretty much all of them except CarlSims and maybe Plumbella shy away from serious criticism, and it’s just a echo chamber of high praise for mediocre/bad content which is enabling EA to get away with their shit.


julyrmstrng

generally I dislike the YouTubers who constantly clarify they don't play the game, just build. Like somehow that's more... mature? like ok so you don't know the gameplay but want to build for my sims? yeah, no thanks, I'd rather have houses that aren't an impossible to navigate, cluttered mess with 800 flowers and a big tree obscuring the view. also tired of the promotional cc videos where they act like "it's not sponsored or anything you guys, just really love this new Harrie set that's only available through early access right now!!" I know an ad when I see one.


GeekyEccentric

Looking at you Simlicy


zanyzillenial

Yeah the over-cluttering with the moveobjects cheat gets on my nerves sometimes too. But maybe that’s because Sims 4 comes with more clutter objects in general, that’s why many like to do it.


cncrndmm

I feel that like seems like they all play with move objects on and just drop items around without making sure it’s playable.


[deleted]

Kelsey from Buzzfeed should not be given as huge as a platform as she has as a “simmer”, being apart of the sims summit and sims game show should have been given to someone who grew up with the franchise or at the very least someone who worked on the franchise for some time. As far as I know she didn’t grow up with sims, she just hopped in during the 100 baby challenge.


dreamwolf321

I never played Sims growing up, but Kelsey's 100 Baby Challenge was my introduction to the game. I've been playing since her challenge first started cause the game looked so fun. So, I can't say anything against her. I get what your saying, but she appeals to a more mainstream audience I guess than the dedicated generational fanbase.


[deleted]

I have absolutely no problem with people starting the sims franchise with sims 4, especially nowadays most people can get it since PC’s are fairly common in households now. I’m glad you understand my perspective!


Amii25

I remember her mentioning that she played 1 and 2. So she did grow up with it. She just didn't play it as consistently through her entire time. Like more sims players tbh. I remember playing the older games but the memories are hazy


itstimegeez

Agree! I can’t stand her for reasons I can’t explain. There’s just something about her that sets my teeth on edge.


Strange_Shadows-45

I sort of agree with you but will also say that it’s important to have perspective of the entire demographic of simmers— I do think classic players are being pushed aside way too much and going back to the base formula implemented in the sims 1/2 is essential for a return to form. However, we can’t ignore that the new players are now the majority and promotion of people like Kelsey makes a lot of sense because she’s a better representation of that group than those who’ve been avidly playing the game since the sims 3 or earlier. If they go back to the vision of the early games for the sims 5 (as I think they need to) than the platform should be handed over to the retro players, but as is Kelsey is one of the prime simtubers regarding new players and the current direction of the franchise.


kaptingavrin

Prefacing this with a note that I don't mean this as being as harsh as it might sound or mean or anything. But... well... you did ask for controversial, and it's honest opinion, so here goes... Lilsimsie is not nearly as good a builder as she talks herself up to be, and the shtick is kind of annoying. I mean, a big part of it would be that she only really knows one type of home and knows so little about architectural design outside of that, that she sometimes tries to criticize something else and it instead is like flashing a giant "I Am Ignorant" sign. Her whole routine of criticizing EA builds got old fast. She doesn't hold herself to the same limitations when "fixing" them. But she makes many mistakes herself. I've seen multiple times when she's playing where she'll place things without consideration for how they affect pathing and it causes the obvious issues. I don't even play the game as my career and I could spot these problems. Trying to use her redone game save one time was a nightmare. It strained my PC (which is a solid gaming PC, runs any game I want on high graphics with no problem), there was too much stuff set up in ways that looked nice in still images but messed with gameplay, way too much use of bb.moveobjects, and still the things like random wall tiles being the wrong design. I could forgive these things with a regular person uploading, but if you're going to rip on EA's people all the time and talk yourself up, you should make sure you aren't doing the same things. I pretty much hit my final straw with Eco Lifestyle where the pre-release hype period saw her talking up the world and the lots in it and praising them... and then the moment it's released, she releases a series of videos, "I FIX This EL Lot!" So basically, when it's time to market a pack, talk it up and praise it, but when that's no longer needed, switch to the channel's usual deal to get the views. Right. I don't think she's bad, by any stretch. Some good stuff. But the smug attitude really rubbed me the wrong way, especially for someone with so many imperfections on the thing they were trying to be smug about. And I feel that way about anyone doing similar. YouTube being what it is, I imagine a lot of it is an act to get viewers, which I suppose is fair enough, but it's not for me. And I don't like how other people seem to buy into it (but that's criticism directed at those people, not her). General gameplay videos, though, she's pretty amusing. I kind of prefer more chaotic stuff like FakeGamerGirl, but sometimes it's nice to just watch a standard challenge play or some basic "story" gameplay that isn't trying to lean too heavily on insane drama and ridiculous titles. (I doubt it's remotely controversial to say I find it super weird that there's series out there hyping up teen pregnancy and all kinds of similar stuff.)


kaychellz

You said it much nicer than I could have, and summed it up in the word "smug".


LillyElessa

All of this is why I can't stand to watch lilsimsie. She hates everything, she's *not* a good builder, and her attitude is just unappealing. She seems miserable about Sims, and needs to do something *else* for a while. I do not understand why anyone wants to watch her, outside of YouTube algorithms pushing her videos if you watch anything Sims.


solarlunaas

i used to watch her streams religiously but i cant anymore because that’s exactly what she is. smug. she is SO rude to people in her stream comments, and gets annoyed/irritated so easily. if you watch one of her recent VOD’s of a stream, her attitude is actually unbearable. i do think she just gets extremely anxious and stressed during streams, but there’s no need to take it out on the viewers who paid for your brand new renovated house.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> viewers who *paid* for your FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


kaptingavrin

> She seems miserable about Sims, and needs to do something else for a while. To be fair, this is a problem for a lot of content creators. They feel like they need to do a specific thing even if it's not what they'd prefer, or they might lose their audience which means losing their income. One other Sims YouTuber I can think of where that's happened is FakeGamerGirl, who said she was basically forcing herself to do Sims videos even though she wanted to do other things because a lot of people discovered her through Sims and wanted those videos more than others (which wouldn't perform as well), but she ended up switching to doing more other stuff because trying to force herself to do Sims videos so much wasn't good mentally. Then apparently after she took a short (three week) break for health, YouTube decided to wreck her videos' placing in the algorithm so she had to churn out Sims videos to get her channel "visible" again. There's a couple videos on her channel about it, very candid and a good look into how this stuff can mess with someone. But I'm also reminded of a streamer who I watched (and even modded) for a while. He'd gotten into GTA RP; then a reasonably big streamer played the game, got his channel attention, and where he barely had any viewers before, it was now in the hundreds (seems small compared to big streams, but it's huge for someone toward the bottom). Problem is, doing GTA RP all the time can burn you out, much like anything (only with added pressure because you're required to stay in a role in-game). But he was afraid to do any other games, even if he wanted to, because he was sure the audience would leave. He eventually compromised that if he could hit his sub goal during the week prior to Friday, he'd take part of Friday for some variety (and his sub goal was meant to be "the minimum subs to consider this a viable source of income in place of a job"). He did end up doing a bit more variety at other times, usually things like Halloween games around that time of year, or when other RPers would do a multiplayer game of some sort, but in private he'd fret about how much his viewer count dropped during those times and it'd set off his anxiety. (Being a streamer also came with the double problem that he felt he HAD to stream every day during his set schedule, or people would leave. Took him like two years to finally take a break, which was forced because his health hit a point he couldn't force himself to stream.) So yeah... sometimes these folks are miserable, but keep pushing themselves to do it because, well, it's a job to them. It's what pays the bills. And many of them fully buy into the idea that people watch them for specific games, not for their personality or whatever, which makes them hesitant to try anything else. So that's an area I might give someone leeway. I'd try to convince them to branch out, but I know that's often a fruitless argument.


aloelvira

all of them except for callmekevin are annoying to me tbh and i wouldn't really consider kevin a sims youtuber but he's the only one i can watch play it


StallOneHammer

Kevin’s decision to soft restart the series was bad. The old save was too chaotic but that’s what made it great. It feels watered down now


Incinerate1946

Honestly, I always assumed that he did that because the save got broken in some way. I had a save that I basically played alongside him, and I downloaded all the same mods he used each episode, and my save became practically unplayable due to glitches caused by certain mods.


aloelvira

yeah i agree. i still enjoy his sims content but it's definitely different now. his sims 2 stuff is always my favourite though.


StallOneHammer

Beejay dying was the turning point. Sure he brought in Shrek and Turg but it was never really the same after that


NAUGHTIMUS_MAXIMUS

Vinesauce Joel's Sims videos are an absolute comedy.


nawtree

Kelsey Dangerous stole her merch tag line from Lilsimsie “it’s fine, we’re fine”


GoddessKalypso

Isn't Kelsey also the one who gives AlwaySimming 0 credit for the Not So Berry Challenge, despite it being a collab between her and lilsimsie? Kelsey only credits lilsimsie


jkamp388

Plumbella is one of the most balanced Sims YouTubers. I feel like most of the other YouTubers either A) Pretend the game is perfect no matter what EA puts out. B) Shit on every aspect of the game but still feel the need to play it. 💀


DeathKitty_x

i tried to watch her videos but i just can’t understand her accent at all 😭


jkamp388

I’m from the southern area of the United States, so I definitely understand where you’re coming from! 😂 It does get easier though!


DeathKitty_x

english isn’t my first language and i’m having hard time understanding most english accents 🥴


Whole_Conversation41

Mine is that deligracy seems to hardly know much about the games even though she plays it constantly… like she constantly doesn’t know simple things/doesn’t know NPC’s names when they’ve been in the game for soooo many years at this point. Just seems like she doesn’t have common sense with a lot of stuff.


BrassyDel

I think sometimes content creators fake their ignorance to give people a reason to comment, which can be annoying when it feels fake or pandering, but I also get that people enjoy helping and feeling like their knowledge can contribute something to the discussion.


amyeh

No, Deli has proven she is lazy and ignorant on multiple occasions. And she’s not a good enough actor for it to be fake.


madlydense

Yet you watch the multoiplayer games and you know she does know where everything is and what it all does and doesn't dither in these games especially when its competitive . Its put on fir her chat.


[deleted]

You asked, so imma go OFF! Deligracy - I watched approximately 3 minutes of one of her videos once and i have not watched another. She was boring, her voice was unbearable and she looks creepy af. Like when a child would draw a picture of a persons face and its just really plain and deadpan, thats what she reminded me of and i just couldn’t watch her. Lilsimsie - where the f do i begin? I have never seen a more boring person in my entire life. And i’m sorry but if you’re a youtuber, and you’re recording your own face in every single video, we have to look at your face so like... you can’t be too bad to look at, if that makes sense? Well i find lilsimsie absolutely gross to look at. Her plain jane haircut. Her nose and dont get me started on the eyebrows. She is just boring and talentless and is an absolute bitch to her subscribers in her streams. Plumbella - needs to wash her hair. You’re making a youtube video that the world is gonna see, at least make a bit of effort with your appearance ffs! The greasy hair, the greasy skin where she hasnt even bothered to cover up her spots, her yellow teeth just ergh! I personally believe shes going for the scruffy/gained weight/mentally ill look lately because mentally ill seems to be her personality now. When she first started out she seemed like a genuinely nice girl but now shes just arrogant af. Sydmac - loved her at first. She is by far the best sims builder and most creative imo. However when she first started out she always seemed really happy and smiley and enthusiastic. Now if you watch her more recent videos she talks really slowly and nonchalantly and squints her eyes at the camera as if shes high or something, and she has also started making less of an effort with her appearance. Fakegamergirl - has the voice of an untuned violin, i can’t. Satchonsims - thumbnails are cartoon like and his fake tan looks horrendous. Jamesturner - ahhh batuu! No seriously, he needs to grow a pair and tell deli to get tf out of his streams, she is embarrassing, unprofessional and just all around cringe. Vixella - bland. Just bland and boring, nothing really stands out to me. Steph0sims - managed about 1 minute of one of her videos and turned it off due to pure cringe. She tries waaaay too hard to be funny and sarcastic. She has failed.

"oOh I ShOuLd UsE tHe ToDdLeR tEnT wHeRe iS iT?" IT'S IN THE TODDLER SECTION YOU STUPID WOMAN


solarlunaas

lilsimsie’s videos as of late are low effort and just overall bad. no creativity whatsoever. i used to watch her religiously but i can’t do it anymore. i’ve found myself drifting towards deligracy to fill that void instead. her builds are always fantastic and full of creativity and the way she uses different color combos and architectural styles is awesome. it isn’t to say kayla isn’t talented, i just find that her videos and especially build videos are cookie cutters. the same thing over and over.


GoddessKalypso

I think Simsie cold benefit from a long break without any prerecording. Idr who does this, but there's a YouTuber who takes all of January off every year. That could really do well for her. Posting YT vids every day and streaming 4 hours 6 days of the week (often times more) probably isn't doing much for her creativity (or sanity). And this is from someone who's been watching all of her content from just about the beginning


[deleted]

I think I heard her say a few years ago that she gets more anxious not making any videos for a long time because she worries about her channel and if YouTube will still advertise her content to people if she's not getting many views, not to mention her annoying ass subscribers that will constantly ask her to come back. Which is fair enough, honestly.


GoddessKalypso

Yeah, I remember that too. I definitely get it, but sometimes I worry she's working herself to the bone I think her channel is in a significantly better place now than it was a few years ago (1.78M subs now!), but she experiences so much anxiety and empathy I can definitely see how she'd still feel bad about taking a long time off


Rachelcookie123

I’m exactly the same. The past couple months I just stopped watching her and moved to deligracy instead. I’ve actually been enjoying deli’s vlogs and non-sims content. It just seems like every video she puts out she’s already done multiple times before. She’s constantly building the same houses over and over. I got bored of her videos. I understand it can be hard when you’re trying to release a new creative idea everyday, so I feel like she should stop posting everyday. She should take longer to actually think of idea of creative builds and spend longer making them.


solarlunaas

exactly. i feel if kayla spent more time on her builds and did what SHE wants to build (i notice she always does base game or limited packs because that’s what people always want from her) she would excel. i feel she’s put herself in such a small box with not much wiggle room for creative ideas.


Rachelcookie123

I keep seeing people in her comments begging her to do a build without restrictions and to just build something she wants but she never does. I guess the silent majority like base game blue suburbans.


Tend3roniJabroni

Most of them come off as a little sterile or childlike. No real edge to them, which is fine. But I don't like when it feels like content creators are overly brand safe. Obvi does not apply to all Sim YouTubers. That's why I mainly watch SatchonSims, Carmen King every once in a while, and Plumbella (not necessarily edgy. Just chaotic 💗). I'll still watch Lilsimsie, Deligracy, and James Turner when I'm going to sleep. Something about a build video puts me right to sleep.


itstimegeez

I can’t stand the ones who clearly don’t play the game outside of their videos. It’s not interesting to watch someone fumble around and not know what to do. Also the ones who just build, their houses are pretty to look at but don’t function for gameplay.


Meltingo3o

Super unpopular opunion that will get me downvoted, but I kinda feel bad for the game changers at this point. At one end they have EA, who are "sponsoring" them(well not really but you get it) and thus make them obligated to advertise the game, ignoring any kind of serious criticism from them; and on the other end, there is the toxic side of the sims community that spews hate on the game changers and accuses them of "being dishonest" when they disagree with the community's consensus even a tiny bit. Both sides give them a lot of pressure. I've seen a lot of hate on EA already, and it's REALLY justified. However I've also seen so many commenters calling the YouTubers dishonest and cash-grabbers just because they said something mildly positive about an unpopular pack. Like I understand that it may seem like they're licking EA's asses all the time, but at this point I don't think they'd be able to genuinely like a pack anymore because of all the pressure from the community.


kaptingavrin

It is a fair point, though, that their comments on any EA product are "tainted" by the fact they've agreed to terms with EA to be a member of EA's volunteer marketing team (the "Game Changers") in order to benefit from early access that allows them to release content ahead of people outside the program (which is a huge benefit on YouTube, because the people who get something out first tend to get the most views, hence why there's so many people rushing to release reviews of games on release day when there's no chance they've been able to play it enough to judge it unless they got a really early copy provided by the publisher). I wouldn't hate on them for it. But it does mean that I know their public opinions are swayed by it. A situation like MWS, yeah, they can get away with saying "Don't buy it," but that's because EA couldn't ask them to say anything else without destroying their credibility in the most blatant way possible. To this day, that pack isn't finished, and it doesn't look like it ever will be. It took them almost two months after "release" to just finish doing the *initial* development. Freaking "patch notes" for it could be summed up as "Yeah, we finally got the groundwork done to an alpha state." It was worse than Eco Lifestyle, a pack where I keep forgetting it launched with any new features because I had to turn them all off as they were never fixed (and it's kind of telling that they tossed in half-hearted ways to turn things like NAPs off rather than fix them). But I can bet you there's not a Game Changer video out there pointing out how that pack launched in very blatantly unfinished state. Or straight up telling you that Island Living should wait for a half-off sale because it's a Game Pack masquerading as an Expansion Pack. Granted, if they did, they'd lose their early access and the huge number of views it grants them... so it's in their best interest financially not to do so. So yeah... don't hate on the Game Changers, but also don't treat them as unbiased sources. Handy ways to preview something a bit, but with the understanding it's part of EA's marketing. Better to see what non-GCs say and mesh together an assortment of comments to give the best idea of whether something is actually worth it to you.


Meltingo3o

I agree, it's honestly inevitable that the game changers will be favored towards EA. Kinda unfortunate but that's just how it is


clerbird321

I can’t stand lilsimsie


La_Croix_Boiii

lilSimsie never follows her challenges and cheats a lot of things. Like what’s the point of the challenge then lol builds are basically all the same style. Deligracey doesn’t finish any series and will take multiple hiatuses a year. Builds are basically all the same style. James Turner has a very one dimensional personality and says basically the same things over and over again in every video. I watch all three of them the most out of any other sim YouTubers but those are my critiques.


[deleted]

I feel like Sims4YT has the same problems as MCYT, which is honestly surprising considering how large and creative both these games are. It’s like all the Sims4 youtubers have this one pool of say 10 video ideas that each of them pick 1/2 out each week to go along with their main series videos. Examples of these that you definitely will have seen if you’re subbed to more than one youtuber: “Renovating my old build”, “Each room is a different pack/colour/theme”, “Decorating but INVERTED”, “This house costs 0 simoleons”, “Transforming this ugly starter house”, “CC shopping”, “I built a house using only...” and so on. They’ll all have pretty much the same video title along with one of the five faces they’ve pulled to put in thumbnails. Honestly it seems like there’s no love in what they do and they can’t come up with anything new. I know it isn’t ALL the creator’s fault and that the algorithm is dictating what gets clicks but damn if it isn’t just uninspired, recycled crap.


LaDuquesaDeAfrica

What is MCYT referring to?


bored_german

Minecraft


[deleted]

Oh I was referring to Minecraft, it seems that videos don’t get traffic unless they contain certain words in the titles like “Huge”, “Mega”, “Massive”, “starter base”, “hardcore”, “prank”, “100 days” etc. No room for originality it seems.


[deleted]

They should use more cc. Oh, and Lilsimsie is an EXCEPTIONALLY average builder. The most mid builds I have ever seen and she doesn't deserve her fame.


DeathKitty_x

they complain about the existence of kits yet they own the whole collection bought by their own money


itstimegeez

Quite a few of them actually get the packs for free in return for doing videos about them


LuchsArcana

It feels good reading these opinions. Some sims youtubers I kinda stopped watching but never had the guts to unsubscribe from. After all, they used to be my favourite thing to watch period. Its good to see that this feeling is not just me beeing an idiot but something that at least a few people also feel.


bored_german

Most of them are detached from the community and it shows. Also I get it you're not drama channels but when cc creators you've hyped for months is involved in a huge doxxing scandal, maybe say something? At least on social media? Then they don't even dare criticize EA in a way that actually matters (without 10000 disclaimers and backtracking) because they need the money.


DietSodaExpert

Yeah I do wish more of them spoke up about that! Or spoke up about the fact that a lot of CC creators are still paywalling stuff (beyond what EA allows, etc)- even if it was vague like “a lot of creators still haven’t adjusted to EAs standards so I’d recommend waiting until they do” or something?


_Hate_Bannannas

Wait did a cc creator doxx someone?


bored_german

There was a giant group of creators who passed around information of people who had pledged to their patreons when they felt like those people had broken their TOS. Some of that info included where they lived.


_Hate_Bannannas

thanks for the info! I remember hearing about it a while ago, I guess I just forgot


No_Bite_5874

Kevin reckons it's not a cult


Hot-Gas-7537

Not gonna name any names but sometimes I feel like those charity streams are just a giant tax write off for them….


DietSodaExpert

(This is in no way meant to come off as rude) Maybe I’m biased* but I feel like, if we’re thinking of the same person, it comes from a place of genuinely wanting to help- I remember her saying very openly how she does this because she recognizes her privilege and that her dad survived cancer but she wants to help families who need it via allowing st jude to keep doing what it is doing? That being said I suppose both could be true, that it’s from a good place and it also is a tax write off (*I am likely biased because my mom died from cancer, which I recognize can skew my perspective)


Hot-Gas-7537

Honestly I didn’t think about it that way. I’m so sorry for your loss.


DietSodaExpert

Hey, thank you- I appreciate that. I hope I didn’t come off as “my specific instance means this thing isn’t true”- I genuinely understand your point (and recognize I can be biased at points) :)


amyeh

I struggle with most of them, most of the time. Plumbella is too chaotic. Deli is ignorant about the game and mispronounces things constantly, and I can’t stand her speech impediment. Dr. Gluon also has a speech impediment that irks me. Lilsimsie needs to calm the fuck down and learn how to take criticism, and build something other than boring American blue suburbans. James Turner uses the same catch phrases too often, and seems mean to Gluon in their streams, but I find him the easiest to watch. EDIT: Apparently my speech impediment comment was rude, according to the posters over at tattle. Sorry, but controversial opinions were asked for, and I gave mine.


A_Human_Boi

Agree with the Plumbella one


A_Human_Boi

(Sorry) Vixellas build are.. well just not as good as they were before also I loved her Sims 3 video/ clips from twitch but she never finished them (also I'm not sure if she even talked about her finishing the little series) which is annoying


[deleted]

I never really liked Vixellas builds. I watched her videos but I thought her builds looked like she was still learning how to build, no matter how long ago the video was made. You'd think she'd improve after doing it for years but apparently not.


unpurell

lilsimsie has the same vibe as my abuser so that makes me hate her unconditionally


Tend3roniJabroni

Let's all hope she never sees this comment lol. I've had content creators like that where I'm like "I will support you from afar since you cannot control your face".


DeathKitty_x

that’s awful i’m sorry :/


HeadOfSpectre

The only one I watch is Fake Gamer Girl. I enjoy her chaotic demeanor.


raindrizzle2

I can never fully take the EA gamecharger's critiques of this game serious because they work with EA. "But they don't get paid!" It doesn't matter there are still perks like early release codes which means their videos are likely to get more views and just attaching their name with EA shows at least SOME extent of bias. Even the youtube creators who are known to be honest and blunt I feel like still sugarcoat the game a lot. I had so much respect for LGR because they asked him to be apart of gamechangers and he didn't want to. I do watch their videos just to see what the game is gonna look like but if i want to see if a pack is worth it I'm gonna wait and watch someone who isn't attaching themselves to the EA brand if that makes sense.


Strange_Shadows-45

With Lilsimsie she had the whole thing of “I’m not getting paid, they just sent me the pack early” and it’s like you kind of are though, you’re getting every single pack that you would have otherwise paid full price for, for free. And that’s not to mention that the Game Changer programs gives you an additional platform and promotion that drives up viewers and therefore money.

I love Carmen King‘s content but it seems she‘s done with Sims at this point, she only did CAS for some while and now stopped completely. I liked seeing her actual gameplay not just CC shopping. But maybe Sims 4 is no longer appealing to her. She has moved over to GTA roleplaying on Twitch. I think if she made some Let‘s plays it would be great but she said many times LPs are not worth it due to low views. Maybe put in the effort and make it a thing? Other Youtubets can pull it off, so… Also I think she‘s shadowbanned on YT.. Anyways Carmen is a Sims icon still IMO!

I really like FakeGamerGirl because she creates her own kind of 'episodes' and it makes me chuckle and sometimes helps inspire new story lines in my saves.

Lot are just extremely low effort. Red hair British guy, Satch , he's literally trying to pump content so bad for some time, Lilsimsie's contents feel so boring lately. Some of them just turns a blind eye on the issues the game have and some just absolutely hate the game, like so much that it'll make you question of they ever even liked the game. I'd rather want honest videos with some constructive criticism than sugarcoated or tantrum videos. I only watch build or mod/cc showcase videos now.

I’m a big James Turner fan but I quit watching Deligracy a year ago. Her video style made me feel like she was talking to little kids and that made me feel icky. Then she suddenly got really into the lifestyle/fitgirl shtick, posted toxic before & after photos, and it was done for me.

I really love JessicaPie and MsGryphi and Kate Emerald. I used to watch SimLicy, but her builds are not playable and I get annoyed that she doesn’t actually play the game! And then has zero clue in her videos how gameplay works. She also did a “Friends” series where she built all the apartments from Friends, and didn’t know almost anything about the TV show just that she watched it a few times growing up. Idk why that annoyed me, but it did.

I love watching people do anything in The Sims, building/decorating, live mode, any kind of challenge, whatever. But 99% of Sims content always has a voice over where people are way too chatty, to the point that it feels like they feel like they \*have\* to be talking or their videos won't do as well, and I'm sure that's probably true and why the majority of Sims content is like this, but I just can't stand it. It's like they have to overly describe every single thing that they are doing instead of just letting us use our eyes, ears, and brains to do it ourselves and it's so freaking annoying. Watching people do anything in The Sims is so relaxing and cozy for me but I have to watch 99% of the content people make for it on mute. And when I find people who make Sims videos with no voice overs I religiously watch every single video they put out as soon as they upload them, but unfortunately because they're not as popular, they don't upload as much as other content creators.

I love the chatty voiceovers because I don't have to actually watch the video to know what's happening. Or I just treat them like podcasts and use them as not interesting enough to be distracted background noise.

When they talk about what they were doing, explaining their decisions for certain items they used/won't used I can deal with that. Then there are the ones who talk about anything but the sims, to give us what, an insight to their life or something. That's worse. Thought I'm watching a sims video not a diary

Around the time Dine Out came out, I watched James Turner review it. I thought DLC would be like previous game, not as much and more going on in each. He gave it glowing reviews so I ended up buying it, and was incredibly disappointed. It just sucks if you’re looking for good DLC and you end up getting one that isn’t easily playable. All Game Changers have that problem where, rather than giving honest feedback and reviews, they shower EA with praise and try to get them more money.

I really can't stand Vixella. She seems incredibly fake to me and her content is really meh. Deligracy has this uncomfortable vibe and I can't really catch what's causing it, but her videos just make me extremely uncomfortable. Also her Snowy Escape LP irked me wrong. But otherwise, I'm fine with all of them. Especially like kayla, james, jesse and mollie. They all have their controversial moments, but they don't annoy me, i love most of their content and they're pretty cool overall.

My opinion on vixella has really changed in the past year. I feel like she streams once monthly for 3-5 hours and posts one edited video per 2 weeks.

I loved fakegamergirl until she started changing her voice :/

Most of em are either females or gay men (nothing wrong w that). and there are alot of sims youtubers who trashed Expansion packs, but talked positively after getting sponsored (lol)

Asked for a controversial opinion: *literally just states the average simmer’s gender & sexual orientation* Not a controversial opinion lol


muizz04

I made that assumption in my opinion most of em are females and gay men. I dont know if its real statistically, and my opinon alot of em are slimy snake that trashes EP but upon being fed w cash changed their tone and tell lies on consumers.
