Sims YouTubers (lilsimsie, Plumbella, James Turner, Deligracy etc)

[Snackerdoodledoo]

Ok, so I don't watch Deligracy so I'm free from her WEREWOOF tit...

But I've now come across two small simmers who say it and... I swear..ITS AN EPIDEMIC... WHY?!?

OMG... The one I'm watching just said WOOFSBANE... I can't... I just can't

Is everyone as dumb as a sack of rocks? I know it doesn't take much brain power to record your reactions to a video game for 20 minutes but it seems like the people with the lowest reading comprehension flock to the Sims 4. This is why I don't watch Sims content anymore, everyone is either super lazy or incredibly dumb. I feel my IQ slipping every time someone baby talks, can't read simple words or mispronounces something easy. I swear, playing the Sims 24/7 is rotting their brains, turning them to mush.

I didn't watch the full video but stopped here and there and, how is having a column right in the middle of the way a good idea ?? It's completely in the way and wouldn't make any sense in real life, and I feel like it would actually get sims stuck in there. He's saying that apparently EA liked the idea of the columns inside the house because he put two columns next to a bookshelf and they wanted more in the house and he says "well, if they don't like it they can remove it". I feel like James is going dumb because of the pressure of this job I also noticed he was taking AGES building the lots (noticed it for the other building video).

Also, talking about the first building video. He left the stairs looking like that and EA asked him to change them because they look like they were forgotten about/not done, and he looks surprised ???

Also, apparently Deligracy is in a new dumb emotion era :

This was the one before :

I have no idea why one of the bigger Sims YouTubers (or even one of the B listers) doesn’t quit the GameChanger programme (or whatever it’s called now) and claim that this makes their opinions completely authentic etc.

Granted, they wouldn’t have access to the early access cashcow but they would probably make just as much in the days following the pack’s official release, as they would have a reputation of being somebody completely untainted by EA‘s influence.

From speaking to a few of the game changers although not any discussed here; I think part of it the “prestige” of being a game changer. I also think free dlc is a large part of it. I know someone who doesn’t like the sims 4 but gets every pack for free as part of the programme. I do agree they would still get views if they didn’t get the pack till the public do but they get way more views getting early access. For example I only ever watch Lil Simsie and the English Simmer to see early access stuff. Actually, I never watch sims creators unless it’s to see early access now I think of it.

I love LGR when he reviews something for the sims because he isn’t biased and will praise what is good and critique what needs criticism.

I wish I knew why creators are so infatuated with how SSSniperWolf makes her thumbnails. "Ooh, this creator is SO popular, so I should make my thumbnails exactly like theirs." Deli would probably have an easier time getting people to click on her videos if a) her ideas were interesting enough to make a thumbnail out of and b) her thumbnails actually showed what the video was about. Deli's Wedding Stories thumbnail is just a bunch of people standing around. You couldn't put them under an arch and take a cute picture of them exchanging rings or any other interaction? You are a graphic design artist and slap your thumbnails together so lazily. It boggles my mind that a small creator I watch, who uses a free program and taught themselves how to use it, makes better thumbnails than someone with a graphics design degree.

I think part of it the “prestige” of being a game changer. I also think free dlc is a large part of it.

It's also the chance to go on EA funded trips, opportunity to meet/work for other companies, free merch etc. There is a lot of opportunity and money to be had by being part of the Game Changers. Deli got thousands of dollars in merchandise and free product from companies just because of her connections with EA. Each trip Deli went on was probably $2000 on EA's dime. Then EA promotes her and others through social media, sending even more eyeballs and money their way. Lots of creators see the Game Changers as an easy way to grow their channel. Why grind out years of hard work and excellent videos when you can essentially cheat the system and get free stuff for doing it?

In fairnesses to James, he wasn’t surprised when EA came back with the note to fix the stairs, he said he understood what they meant and agreed with it.

I think it is also the irony, that to get to this point EA had to "forget" a ton of essential things and then they dictate to the person doing their job for them, how to do it.

Pretty sure a blind monkey with MS Paint could make a better thumbnail than Deligracy

I don't understand how does she look at these photos and say "yes, this is my thumbnail photo"? She's giving me crazy girlfriend meme vibes.

Since we are on the topic of thumbnails, XUrbanSimsX, her thumbnail for "The SECRET LIFE Of Obie Pepper " is just legs. What exactly am I supposed to get from that thumbnail? It is also baffling for someone like Jenn, who is a stickler for good thumbnails, to use a default one for every episode of Sims Life Stories. I think I heard that using the same thumbnail for every episode confuses people, that they think they've seen new episodes because the thumbnail is the same. And WOW, what the heck happened to Jenn's views? Guess patreon pays the bills now.

 

[Snackerdoodledoo]

I understand not wanting too many spoilers for a new pack... But Clare has no clue about anything and I have a feeling watching her LP is going to make me want to smash my head into the wall with how stupid she's going to be about everything (like, 5 minutes in Twitter would tell you who Greg is, if your JOB is to play a game)

Does she have a Patreon? I notice she hardly seems to upload anymore. She used to be a great story teller. Now I get the impression she’s fed up with the sims 4.

 

[queencarmen]

I forgot about XUrbanSimsX, I didnt expect her views to be so low now, but if I remember correctly she went through a phase of starting LPs and never finishing them, I guess people got sick of that

I get the idea of a player wanting to experience the game for themselves with no spoilers but when it's your job to provide information to people watching. You don't have that luxoury. The amount of streams where I have seen the viewers explaining to the creator network how to do things that they are literally getting paid to know is shocking. For instance watching kelsey not understand why people kept taking her stuff in her 100 baby challenge was beyond frustrating.

I thought the same thing when I was watching it! I mostly enjoy her LP’s but it’s very frustrating when she doesn’t understand basic things about the game. I have a feeling her sim will die of starvation when he has werebies cos it’s so easy to do if you don’t pay attention.

on a separate note; I was catching up with Kelsey’s werewolf “rags to riches” and literally as soon as she loaded in she decided rags to riches was too much work and cheated herself some money to build with. Also does anyone else find her streaming layout obnoxious?? She’s got so much tit on there you can barely see the game she’s playing.

 

[Raychieee]

When clare played the first gen of nsb she spent so much money making her house look aesthetically pleasing with a load of plants and conservatory nut forgot a shower or something essential like that. It's like all her Sims pretty on the outside but in reality they just don't work properly.

 

[jadepaula]

i don’t know why this annoys me so much but thE TOILET PAPER. why does she always place it this low down

 

[Charlene78]

One thing that Deligracy does and annoys me is that when she's building she'll start something nice and then 5 seconds later change her mind and change the whole build and make it crappy...

The latest example being today :

"let's build a barn" I'm like ye ye that's cool

Literally 10 seconds later... what the duck

And oh my god stop adding modern windows to all your buildssssssssssssssssssssssss. I can already tell this build is going nowhere

She has the dumbest build ideas, I'm sorry. Why would you go with two bathrooms in such a tiny house. Why would you think having two open bedrooms looking at one another is a good idea, especially with an adult bedroom and a kid bedroom. Why is she even keeping all those bits in the video if she keeps changing her mind. I also thought the two ladders thing was dumb, even if it was supposed to be a barn. Like if people had bought this and turned it into a home with modern windows, they wouldn't have kept 2 ladders inside...

Also hate how in every build she plops a bunch of random wall grass or whatever they're called but in the most random ugly way :

Okay I'm done bitching, the build ends up being pretty good. Though I don't think a door to the garden was necessary at all, the chimney looks completely out of place, and I wouldn't have given a balcony to a kid bedroom for safety reasons. But imo it should have been a starter home because you'd want an actual bedroom for a second home... and also the bed can only be accessed by one person I think ?

I just can’t with Vixella sometimes… it blows my mind how many people subscribe to her (and Deli too) on twitch when she cancels streams ALL THE TIME or shows up hours late. I can’t believe people actually give them their money when they can’t even show up when they say they are going to.

I can’t tell if this is a generational thing, Simmer thing, streamer thing, whatever… but it blows my mind how often deli and Sasha both cancel streams because their “heads aren’t doing well.” I mean, there are SO many people who have jobs like them and they don’t cancel/flake out. Idk what it is… I mean, Vixella once canceled her stream last minute because a Barbie game she streamed 2 days prior stresses her out so bad….. I mean.. what????

This is all just so strange to me. I have been directly affected by mental health issues and have seen how detrimental they can be, but wtf?? A Barbie game upset you so much you need a day off 2 days later??? I just can’t tell if these are awful excuses to be lazy or if they actually need serious mental health help. I mean how has nobody they know noticed these habits and thought to speak up and tell them they need serious help? I know Vixella has recently said she now goes to therapy, but I wonder if her therapist knows the severity of her always needing to take a break due to a “bad head day.” If a Barbie game has caused you so much stress you need a day off of work 2 days later than maybe you need to be in a mental hospital getting treatment because that’s not something I would consider severe enough to justify needing a day off from…

Barbie? Am I reading that right? What kind of Barbie game is she playing? I could see how something like Barbie's Night at Freddy's might bother her but we are talking about something rated E for Everyone. I just don't understand people who have everything they could possibly want and treat their jobs as inconveniences. I guess they think that the money will never run out. I think some people are in for a rude awakening very soon. We're heading into some difficult times and if Youtube can't put ads on their videos and Twitch has to cut back on how much they can pay them, what do you think they are going to do? People are already tightening their budgets and pawning items to keep themselves afloat. Very soon there won't be any pay piggies for these streamers to get money from.

I get that mental health is difficult but talk to me when you have a horrific accident and have to keep working through the pain because you have no other choice. I would kill to have the opportunities that these people have. Paying off all your debt, buying a house, brand new cars, lavish lifestyles and then they act like just showing up to work every day is too hard.
