I had the WORST time getting this video uploaded omg I am so sorry... I had to rerecord like half of it because I messed up the audio
It’s ok simsie!
that’s ok!
It’s fine
are bunk beds for free or in the kits???
It’s ok!
EA really said “what if free updates weren’t free?” Like girl what
umm... we already get tons of new stuff in updates, i personally think ea is allowed to actually make content and make money off of it:) thats kinda how games work
@@rebeccanilsen7240 no, no, this is literally bare minimum. there is a difference between working and earning what you deserve and treating your fan base like cash cows milking them for everything they’ve got. it’s disrespectful
To be fair. This is a better use of money in gaming than using v bucks on fortnite
SWEAR
@UCjciworv5e8jaXgf3-rUTiQ to be honest a few years ago having micro transactions in games was very unusual, so for a lot of people it's really weird to see games do it now. And there are still many games that don't keep their upgrades behind a pay wall, and knowing that small, or indie creators intentionally ask for less money, and give you more content than big brands that already make way more, it just feels bad. Like, I get the production on a sims game is hard, but this free update they did where they literally just incorporated cc content, that kind of stuff would be seen way more in an indie game, like stardew valley for example. The guy makes pretty regular updates that add several items and some new mechanics to the game, and he makes sure that the guys that make the mods for his game get the update early so that they can reprogram everything accordingly. That's just having a sense for your customers, and a lot of games that have loot boxes and payable upgrades kind of don't care that much
Literally the only reasonable price is when it's 50% off.
Try g2a. I always use it
I only buy sims packs when they are in sale. I am not paying $40 to be a celebrity or live in a city or have seasons.
@@xnikitatjuh what’s that for ?
Thank the gods for custom content and those glorious cc creators.
@@drakynoch yup
they literally said “pay five whole dollars to add dust to your game” LMAOO
And some of us are going to be buying it!! Oh goodness lol I'm one who will *shakes head in false disgust while purchasing dust*...
😂 😂
thinking about it tbh
i bought all the kits, i have got no dust bunnies, tbh i don't think bust the dust is worth it consider I GET NO DUST BUNNIES, apart from that its cool
Thats why im never buying it.
I don't even want to play Sims 4 anymore because my Childish, Cheerful, Good Sim acts the same as my Gloomy, Artistic, Loner Sim. It's b o r i n g
the sims 2/3 communities are thriving right now bc people are realizing how incomplete sims 4 is (and maybe always will be). join us!
@@eggs2310 man I loved sims 3, but there’s aspects I like about sims 4 too, although I do get way quicker tired of sims 4 than what I did with sims 3
@@jodoodlyboi2963 yeah. i do really enjoy multitasking in the sims 4 and obviously CAS and build mode is great, but it's hard to maintain my interest in the full game. i'll go months without playing it.
Sims 3 will always be my favourite, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the graphics after playing sims 4 for so long which sucks. Unfortunately sims 3 Island paradise was my favourite pack, but it caused a glitch in my game that causes it to freeze if I’m in Isla paradiso :( never found a fix for that issue
@@stephrowles5520 same problem my laptop cant run the island paradise properly and i already get used to the sims 4 graphics but i also get boring really fast. So... I dont play sims for a moments now.
These should cost $3 or less. $5 is outrageous considering that when stuff packs are on sale, they’re $5.
They shouldn't cost jack. Fix the base game and the older packs that shouldve had more @EA
it's why I only buy packs on sale
maaaaaybe if the kits go on sale I'll buy one lol, but even then I doubt it. I think i'd pay for a modders patreon instead
Everything else is already “bite size”.... so what’s a kit? A little nibble??
More like a crumb 🤕
a treat
squidward bite
ikr. btw, it's crazy to charge even more by adding small kind of stuff that could be freebies to a game with a collection that equals over the price of $700 usd (if you bought them at the original prices) which is more than the price of my pc. Smh.
amuse-bouche
The clothes should have been in fitness stuff, the kitchen set should have been in cool kitchen and the cleaning gameplay should have been in laundry day 🤡
Facts
Actually, the Country kitchen set doesn’t fit with Cool Kitchen at all. Country Kitchen should have been in Cats and Dogs or have been included in a future farming kit.
@@acehasaface948 yeah you’re right, it just annoys me how they add in extra content for something that could have come with another pack
@@acehasaface948 FAAAACTS
but- FACTS but we basically decided what will come in laundry day so...... idk
so basically they are charging us for things they forgot to add in the base game...... hmm 🤔
I feel like they were already doing that tbh, like Cats & Dogs, Laundry Day, Parenthood and such are packs that feel like they should've been in the base game.
@@arjanvroom8363 yes definitely parenthood and laundry because that’s stuff people do on a daily basis

@@ashtonrobertsss sure
Ikr? First thing I thought of too 🤨
I actually miss cleaning from sims 3, I hope this one is slightly more intense, but I love the look of the dust bunnies. Add some more realistic gameplay
To be honest it started out as a off the gridd themed and eco friendly living, stuff like that. But it suddenly changed. And got Laundry Day, Ecolifestyle and than a off the gridd free update 😅
feel like there should be a whole lot more in each pack
what do expect for 5.00
@@lisamccall3258 that can be a lot to someone on a game you've already spent money purchasing
Yeah the amount of stuff in each pack is lacking so much especially compared to the sims 3 and 2 expansion packs
@@lisamccall3258 $5 adds up
I feel like the DLC of my DLC has DLC. Seriously, as if game packs weren't already an overt cash-grab to begin with, of course EA's marketing department has been been working tirelessly to come up with something just as good and blatantly offensive.
Just don’t buy these. Don’t buy them now. Don’t buy them in a year. Don’t buy them if they go half off. If you don’t like them simmers need to start speaking with their wallets.
☝️
Buying? We're pirates, we don't even know what that means
One thing that really frustrates me is that they don’t consider how people outside of America when pricing these things. All Sims content is almost twice as expensive in Australia. I don’t have nearly $10 to spend on a kitchen set. I understand it’s already a lot in the US but think about the rest of the world and conversion rates please.
In Canada all three kits cost the same as a Game Pack, but the three of them together have less content than a Stuff Pack. I can tell how much they sell will depend entirely on region, with Americans buying it the most and everyone else passing. I will be waiting for modders to upload the stuff for free, like I did with the TS3 store.
Omg your right! I’m so sorry that they don’t even think about that :(
Yep! Aussie here too, it’s painful. And I JUST completed my collection 😩 they’ve lost me at this point, though. No way I am paying for kits.
@@unicornsteak :( that most suck! Omg are the expansion pack like 80 dollars then-
True like $10 means 1600 pkr for me and that's too much money for something that is still full of issues.
I really do think this is a cash grab. A lot of these “niches” could have easily fit into separate packs. Country kitchen and the vacuum pack could have easily been a part of laundry day as a general cleaning pack (or idk in the base game maybe?) and the throwback fit kit could have been in fitness stuff. The sims team is ignoring our concerns and just milking money out of us. Stuff packs already barely have any content and now they are giving us even less. The sims community needs to stop defending this, this isnt ok and if we keep being so passive about it then they’ll just take advantage of us even more. Sure, the kitchen set is cute, but I’m not getting it, because I’m not rich and can’t afford to use all my parents savings on a game I’ve already spent hundreds of dollars on :/
Exactly! I’ll just download a cc kitchen set for free
I disagree about stuff packs giving barely any content, the early ones yeah but the recent ones are pretty good. But I do agree with everything else you said. Also the kitchen stuff could've been in cool kitchen, because that pack is a joke; it literally has more good cas than actual kitchen stuff!
@@Spidertheidiot yeah but if you think about it, it took them a very long time to finally come out with decent stuff packs. I think paranormal and tiny living are very good stuff packs, the rest add little to nothing to the game, for the price that they charge at least.
Also if they’re releasing the sims 5 soon I don’t understand the point in taking our money from the sims 4 with (no offence) useless stuff...
@@__-_. I agree with that, most stuff packs are WAY too expensive, at least where I live, there about 15$. I guess have kinda a controversial opinion on stuff packs 😅 I actually like most of them that came after mosquito stuff, and I really like mosquito stuff itself.
WRITE THIS DOWN: they will release a farming pack and there will be no kitchen set. So we'll have to buy this one.
So my first pet?
@Maggie Fluffy honestly it be that way tho
There wasn’t a kitchen set in cats and dogs, but this one would have fit with Cats and Dogs so well. Insane.
woops you were wrong!:D
Cottage Living had a counter set. And Country Kitchen matches it as well. So now we have 2 seperate cute cottage/country sets and im pretty happy personally :)
i've had a bad feeling about Sims 4 packs since the vampire pack is a separated, vampire pack. idk, i remember in Sims 3 there was ONE supernatural pack w vampires, fairies, wizards, witches, werewolfes... here, we have a separated one for wizards/witches, vampires and ghosts... and they cost a lot ._.
i miss the sims 3
I'd rather pay 5$ to thesimsresource membership than to EA
Same
Yeah same. That says a lot since TSR is a laggy mess 😭 but it has way better stuff and a lot more of it...
MOOD
100% this
I would 100% agree but I’m a console player...
Mark my words, most of these kits are going to be a “my first pet stuff” sort of situation all over again. Vacuums would have been a great addition to laundry day, wouldn’t it
I was thinking the same thing about the vacuums!
I can't agree more. I said the exact same thing when I saw this kit. Laundry day is broken half the time too. I rarely use it anymore.
@@cherry_bee8222 agreed
I thought this about the CAS items, they look like they should have been in the Fitness Stuff Pack, and the BB items would go well with Seasons 🤔
Or to Eco Lifestyle!
Just let the cc creators take over at this point
when console gets it , its over
Yeah but I play on console so i don’t have cc
@@debbiekortz7041 they did pretty good with the collabs for the anniversary items so they should let them do more of that to make the game better

Welp, that settles it. Gonna start pirating every single one of these + every new pack. I'll use my money to support CC creators and small game studios.
@Ruby Fiddes custom content creators
I used to feel bad for pirating The Sims 4 and it's DLC's but after seeing how crappy EA is, I think they deserve it.
Aye aye cap’n 🏴☠️
This may be a stupid question but how do you do that??
@@imclara saaame, I wanna do this
99% sure there’s CC that would be pretty on par with these kits...
You would be 100% right...I have plenty of CC for country-style kitchens
and actually high-waisted pants & skirts LMAO
If not better than these
Sadly everyone on console gets suckered into paying for these packs because they can’t get cc though
RIGHT
EA likes to play this little game with us called “How Much Shit Can We Get Away With”
The vacuum pack literally says 'Suck it up!' So I'd say they're getting arrogant.
lmao
Apple has been playing a while

@@christina-fh8ji pretty sure she doesn’t mind since there’s an option to block words you don’t want in the comment section, if she didn’t block it then it’s fair game in my book
This is just a big JOKE. All of this should be in dlc that already is relased.
RIGHT the country kitchen stuff would work so well in seasons or eco lifestyle, or even parenthood. And the vacuums could have fit with laundry day. And the cas kit could easily fit with the exercise pakc (can't remember the name lol)
They could‘ve just added the vacuums to the basegame...just like the few clothing pieces. Like..5 dollars?! For 2 Animations?!
What worries me is that by adding these small packs, does this give EA an excuse to not add as much to other packs? If they did this earlier, maybe they would have released Island Living without a kitchen, and sold the kitchen separately. The expansion and game packs are already so bare, it feels like they are using this as a opportunity to stretch their content even further.
Just imagine... if they'd thought of this ages ago, My First Pet Stuff could've been a kit.
Each pack type has minimum item requirements so I don't think that's the case
@@AlinaMauMau they could do it tho. Just put more ”useless” items in the original pack and put one key item in a kit like an add on. But that would probably cause huge backlash.
that’s a good point actually, hope not
Like if they added sunbathing in islands but had a kit with the towels and lounge beds
‘We can’t make a stuff pack out of it’ Kitchen Stuff Laundry Stuff Fitness stuf
It’s because they include actual gameplay as well, therefore they cost more. These packs on include items
@@usagiwhitenight yeah but it's not like they can't make a stuff pack out of these concepts. they're just saying one of the points of these kits is to introduce things that they "can't make a stuff pack out of". But they've already made stuff packs out of tiny ideas (e.g. laundry, fitness, kitchen stuff), but added some extra stuff to make it a full stuff pack. They could easily add things to make these stuff packs if they wanted, or update previous stuff packs to include this stuff, but they didn't because they want more money for less work.
You’re telling me they recolored the stone and are selling it to us instead of just letting us have it?!
I wonder why people still support EA and the Sims 4 at this point. They get away with so much sh*t its hard to belive. Im so glad that I have never got into the new sims and stuck with the Sims 3 and 2 (I know they wasnt perfect but they at least they were playeble with basegame only )
I immediately thought "oh my god this is just the sims 3 store"
SAME lmaooo
I only know sims 4 content... what was the sims 3 store
@@polaroid_people4676 she explains what the sims 3 store was around the beginning. I’m happy she explained cause I had no idea what it was 😂
Except without the actual gameplay lol
Exactly this community lives to bash sims 4 but forgets the sims 3 store. It was the biggest cash grab in sims history. My goodness if you don't want it don't buy it.
At this point, EA is just doing whatever they want bc they know people will still buy it... I would much rather pay to support independent creators who actually listen to the community
i agree with you alot, there are so many people who would buy that its almost not possible not to make net profit at this point, specially when i look at twitch stream comments and see thousands of people willing to buy them makes me so disappointed at the community
Wish I could use cc but I play on console
They should have continued to co-op with content creators and create collab kits. Maybe they tried to but nobody in the community wanted to get behind their pricing strategy lol. Apparently console players can't get CC though, so I'm guessing this is all a strategy towards getting more from those players.
✨Pirating is still an option✨
@Alima. H Check out Paralives! tt's going to be Sims competition when it finally comes out.
17:17 "I guess it's the same as this one but recolored to be better" Kayla are you hearing yourself? 🤦♂️
yeah literally why would i pay 5 dollars for a recolour of a wallpaper we ALREADY HAVE
It’s ridiculous.
I wonder if sims youtubers ever feel conflicted as their whole channel indadvertedly advertises/supports such a crappy company
I feel like lilsimsie did a good job of addressing that in a way. She knows she's got content that most people either can't afford or can't run on their computer. It sucks and the youtubers seem to know.
I mean yeah. Promoting these scammy cash grabs to children for a living can’t be good on the conscience.
I mean, idk, most of them started when the sims 4 seemed to go somewhere, i feel most of them just do it now for the money but have some negative opinions about the game, i personally would think it time to time
This just makes the free stuff for the 21st anniversary seem like a hollow gesture to sweeten us up to even more cash grabbing by EA
For real though
That's EA! Gotta have a catch.
The free birthday stuff wasn't even that special if you're someone who already plays with CC from these creators. I already had a few of the pieces, so it was like getting something that was regifted.
@@imjuliewaters The only difference is you don't have to reinstall it when the game updates
yuuuuuuup
Not gonna lie, I expected these kit packs to be maybe 2.99(if not less).
i hoped they wuld be the highest 1.99
Same! I hope they go on sale half price lol
@@paigesimpson1752 nah they are not going to. this is a cash grab and they are not gonna put a 5 dollar kit on sale
Yes i think they just want the money now it looks as if they havent really worked their hardest on this it probably was just to get the money and not to make us simmers happy-
Sims players: Sims 4 is expensive! EA: the limos we ride in aren't free.
Yes, it’s true. Not everyone can buy all this stuff. I mean I have “only” 3 packs and I already spent like around 75€ and that’s a lot for a game like this (and I only bought them in sale haha)
How did they make a cleaning gameplay kit with JUST vacuums? No dustpans? No dusters? No mops? No bucket, cloth and wiper for cleaning windows? Not even a broom for the porch/driveway? ... Also, there were already roombas in the game... I'd like a cleaning pack for realism, but this adds nothing at all.
I'm waiting for a janitor carrier or even a chimneysweep job now lol who wouldn't want their sim to be an underpaid janitor
Bust the dust should have been in laundry day.
That would have bien great! A huge cleaning pack, with laundry, vacuuming, etc. Way more intresting and complete
For sure
Country Kitchen stuff in cool kitchen stuff and fit kit in This sport pack can’t remember the name lmao
In theory yes, but that pack is 2 (3?) years old now so it's unlikely they had this concept ready to go at that time
I disagree. Laundry Day is about Laundry specifically, not any other sort of cleaning.
After spending a lot of money on the sims I wish they would just fix the games bugs and issues BEFORE adding more paid DLC to the game, adding MORE bugs and issues :( I love the sims 4 but this is a big problem on EA's part. Also, it's going to spend MORE in places like the UK and Australia...in the UK $4.99 is about £3.00 here...but they're selling it to us for £4.99...and it's worse in places like Australia where the price for these TINY packs could be around $10. EA only care about how much money is going to their pockets. I calculated that for the UK ALL of the packs plus the new kits (this is NOT including the base game price which I believe is around £40?) costs £706.60...seriously? This makes MOBILE games crammed with micro-transactions look good and I hate that this is true

@@stephlang03 you can’t upload tho
It saved me over 200 dollars/euros lol
I think I’d like the kit idea more if there was a “build your own kit” kinda thing. For example say you want the cas from snowy escape and the gameplay for get famous. You could build a custom kit and based on what you’ve chosen, a price would be calculated. It feels a little low shooting for the sims team to be adding these things you can buy when the game itself is so expensive, especially over the last year. This is just my personal opinion. I love the game I just don’t like how expensive it is.
That’s a good idea! I was thinking that they can separate the bigger packs to people who want specific things. For example if someone wants the cas from cats and dogs then they could just buy that. But I figured that would make them lose money. 😔
Thats a fab idea! Xx
This is genuinely a very good idea
that's actually a really good idea! like a certain number of different items for each
this just sounds like sims3 store. everything has a price
I’d love a Cosmetology/Beauty Salon/Barber Shoppe kit/s with hair, nail and makeup options, CAS and build items, maybe even a game or stuff pack. Kits would be good for things like adding Astrology/Horoscopes back to CAS or a tattoo kit, so on.
That would be cool, same thing for fav colors and foods like in sims 3
We should have zodiacs in base game. Stop excusing this crap from EA
@@acehasaface948 We shouldn’t be entitled to have anything in base game lmao and I’m not excusing anything, I’m just not expecting to be given everything for free or for cheap by a company who peddles a nearly 7 year old base game.
I can’t even afford the packs I want so this feels like a nightmare...
Yeah... That's the problem. People can say "Oh, why not just support them? It's not a big deal, right?" all they want. The thing is, there are people who have the kind of money to just throw it at every greedy company and not care, then there are probably a lot more people who get conflicted about it, to whom it is kind of a lot and who will have to save on other things to afford it, but they might or might not still buy what they want. And then there are those of us who don't even have the money to buy ridiculously expensive things like that. But oh well, EA, Apple and lots of other companies still make enough money off all their richer costumers. So they don't care if some people can't afford their stuff. It sucks. I hate it. But pro tip: at least in Germany it is quite easy to get the keys for packs cheaper on ebay, if you don't mind not knowing where it comes from. It always worked for me, just take popular offers.
Download cc and mods its free.
Why not just add this as free content to pre made packs. The kitchen stuff can go to kitchen stuff, vacuuming in laundry day, cas stuff in fitness stuff. They’re not big enough to pay that much for, I really don’t like this idea :,)
I would say that aesthetically, the Kitchen Kit would fit in with Cats and Dogs expansion pack better than the Cool Kitchen Stuff.
@@andrewmoeller1987 I mean yeah but since the stuff is all kitchen stuff i figured it would make more sense to add kitchen stuff to a kitchen pack rather than to a cats and dogs pack, y'know?
I posted this idea in reply to another video. Great minds think alike! I don't understand why she says these items wouldn't quite fit into other packs. Of course, I don't understand how anyone is defending any aspect of this. These packs cost $15 total. Does anyone really think there's $15 worth of content here? "Not a cash grab." Lol
@@cookiedough7660 I just got the pack, and it is the perfect rustic kitchen set. The stove and fridge are functional off the grid. The stove is only $600, and is food quality 7! And the Island counters have the doors/drawers on the opposite side of the eating side, finally! Swatches are great, even just a regular wood color. It all goes great with the barn door from Cats and Dogs as well as wooden worn stools. Oh, and the recently added Groovy Times Bar Stool by heyHarrie is perfect for the counters.
Nah the the vacuuming kit should of been in the base game from the start
This isn't for the community, this is literally just for EA's pockets.
I don't even play TS4, but kits are giving me bad vibes as well.
I hate them!!! Someone needs to stage a coup.
Ea makes some good games but holy moly are they greedy. For example, ea will make a new fifa game every year that’s pretty much the last one with a few changes for 60 dollars, while hello games (which has a studio of one room) that manages to make beautiful and game changing updates for free in no mans sky
Yeah no. This stuff seems like something that should be free (especially the cleaning pack)
In conclusion: EA deserves nothing and y'all should crack the game and all dlcs to get them for free
Problem with that is EA has an anti-piracy system in place inside the game. So, even if we crack it, there’s that one thing that would just make it unplayable.
@@KittyFAN13 really? how does it triggered the anti crack system? ive never come across it
@@ninefoxstar From what I was told (via a SimsTuber), there is an anti-piracy measure that creates a censor pixel block that grows and grows until it covers the entire screen. If I remember correctly, it’s triggered by having your sim take a bath or shower. It could be removed or it was in an older game/older version of Sims 4.
@@KittyFAN13 I've got to say that i have the game installed. I got it with a cracked installer for free (I don't usually farther piracy, I always pay for the artists and coders work btw) and the programer who cracked it uploads updates with every new pack and it works perfectcly
@@caber0662 Oh! That’s great! I’m glad that someone found a way around it.
There is already way too many dlc, this is just going to make everyone feel so inadequate for not getting everything... not worth it, don’t throw your money at them unless you’re sure.
they need free packs. not free updates. one other thing that bothers me is that i payed on ps4 and i had almost every single pack and when i switched to pc i cant transfer them. They should make it where the packs save to your EA account not your system. thats another money grab as well.

@Ruby Fiddes no problem :) glad to help
There are cc FOR FREE that look the exact same maybe even better than these kits
sad thing is xbox and ps4 players can’t get cc
I destroyed my sims game by accident with cc never again. I don’t even have sims anymore my sister has it. I had the fake sims with all the packs but my stepsister got it for me. I accidentally deleted my save data and got a “orange llama” thing every time I tried opening the game.
I think the worst thing is that these should have been a part of other packs that already exist. The cleaning kit should be a part of laundry day. The fitness kit should be a part of the fitness stuff pack. The country kitchen kit should’ve been a part of the kitchen stuff pack. I’m sure they could figure out how to add these onto already existing packs in updates. We shouldn’t have to pay for this.

@@leahbelieva you wouldn’t use Pantone swatches, but colour hex codes are basically the computer version of Pantones. So there’s definitely no excuse; you could literally just use the eye dropper tool and get the exact hex colour code. It wouldn’t be hard at all lmao
So where's the expansion pack "The Kitchen Sink" where they just bundle random things together
i love how the first 7 minutes is you pointing out how ea are Big Fat Moneygrabbers, but then you pay for it because they haven't sent you the code.
💀
keep in mind tho, this is her job and how she makes a living so like. cant blame her all too much
it’s her job to review packs and play the sims.
No one is going to comment on how luxury party is more expensive than kits but still has the same amount of content?
Shhhh, we don't talk about luxury party
Omg it’s true
Luxury party has arguably less content.
Time to ask for a 5€ refund or a free kit then
They should refund people who bought it, honestly... or at least partly
EA just loves finding new ways to drain our wallets, don’t they?
@@emmahonohan2889 how can you defend this tactic?
@@emmahonohan2889 I never said they were forcing you to buy it. Kits are just another way for them to quickly make new items and sell them to their consumers. That’s just a given? So yes, they are finding new ways to make you spend **more** on the sims 4.
Well of course. They're a corporation. Their objective is to generate revenue. No revenue, no new games.
Lol 😂
@@emmahonohan2889 if they didn’t want you to buy it, or counted on you to, they wouldn’t have released this in the first place. so yes, they are most definitely trying to drain our wallets
Me and my sister play the sims 4 and spent over three hundred dollars of are own money and we still don’t have all of them this is just crazy
asides from literally everything, omfg the dust bunnies are SO cute
My opinion on these: The idea is cool, but as usual, they're overpriced
Thomas Jefferson 😉
@@j.a.489 ...what’d I miss-!
Definitely overpriced.
And still it's the only DLC I feel ok to spend money on. Because I can buy only kits, that I'll use. I wish the DLCs were cheaper.
I agree thomas
I love how we all bitched that we don’t like stuff packs and they should just stop selling them and make them all game and expansion packs& they said “alright, I see your stuff pack and raise you another, even shittier stuff pack!”
This just seems like a last ditch effort to squeeze money out of us before they announce Sims 5. xD
I feel like they're going to start doing celebrity/influencer inspired/Collab kits. I'm imagining a kit filled with shit famous TikTokkers wear and them announcing their collabs on social media.
Kayak: “The whole game costs about 600$” Me, has almost every pack: *surprised pikachu face*
i have everything but the star wars pack so hearing that number is scary aldkakdk i got the base game for free at least
@@julianjohanson247 yeah same, I also got the game for free and I only don’t have Snowy Escape and Star Wars
I have everything except for starwars and maybe the first person stuff but I got some as gifts and some discounted
@@inesvandevelde1801 the fact that i hear about kits the same day i got my tax return back is kinda funny though. the universe wants ea to steal my money
Have everything but snowy escape and paranormal but now kits?? Might wait till there’s no more content out or wait till it’s on sale to buy
Literally the FREE heyharrie Country collection CC is ten thousand times better and has way more things than whatever EA is doing
@CatNoLikeBannana What if they COULD? The effort that EA and Maxis put into these packs could've been better spent by allowing CC or mods to be uploaded to the Gallery, as The Sims 4's equivalent of the Steam Workshop. They didn't, because this isn't about helping console players -- I said this in another comment, but NEVER mistake for altruism that which can be explained by greed. They don't want to help console players, they want to help their bottom line.
fr
It’s weird how they come out with a bunch of stolen cc after working with cc creators hmm
@@DoinItforNewCommTech the fact that consoles can’t have CC and mods has nothing to do with EA or Maxis.
i still think it’s good, some people don’t want to download cc and you can’t really blame them for that.
I stopped playing the game, it just became frustrating. The overpricing, bugs, not listening to the community, lack of story
I remember a year ago I was interested into getting into the sims, but when I saw the amount of money to get a good experience, I realized I was better off doing other things.
honnestly at this point i don't even wanna pay for more things, it's depressing how expensive The sims is. They left us on such a good note with snowy escape, and now this 🙄 it should be free updates instead, i mean there is NOTHING in base game that is trendy, except for those new items for their 21 anniversary
Hello! I hope your having a nice day (: I was just wondering if u could check out my latest videos as I'm going to upload at least one video a day and would really appreciate the feedback. I just want to make my videos as good as possible and if I'm being annoying please ignore me (:
I'm sure you've been told this but of your pc can handle it I super recommend maxis match cc!
Honestly, I agree with you. I see no reason why we are paying 5 dollars for content that only amounts to 1/3 of a stuff pack. I honestly think kits should have been partnerships between cc creators and mod creators. It would be nice if they could put more of their things into the game considering alot of ps4 and Xbox players cant download cc.
@@kf10147 yup i have a LOT of cc, but people can't download my builds if they don't have the cc i have
yes that's why i love minecraft i think sims should go down that rode
I love how she said that “obviously” the items have a plain white and a plain black swatch, like, Sims 4 didn’t find it obvious until like two months ago haha love the video, but everything is just too expensive
They should just offer these "kits" for packs that already exist! Instead of making it new content :/
"Is that just EA's new way of charging more money for less content?" was the first thing I said when I heard they were adding something called a "Kit Pack" and that is precisely what it is, yes. I called it exactly and I'm somehow still disappointed.
No One: EA and The Sims 4 Team: Let’s go ahead and make them pay for the items we should have included in the other packs. Let’s call it a kit. Lets only include SOME of the items we didn’t include in the old packs. We will create new kits later and charge them again.
I hear you but The Sims 4 Team doesn’t decide pricing (obviously) and has very little say (if any) in the decision to create ‘kits’ so you can go ahead and remove them from your comment. Having worked in a company like this I know that these types of decisions are make by executives and overheads
Literally like wtf
@@DDoubleEDouble Ummm, okay.
These kits are ridiculous. Especially if you consider you can get thousands and thousands of maxis match CC for free! I don’t justify gameplay kits either. They literally added two animations and make it seem like a big deal.. they’re EA and have literal billions to invest. It’s honestly disrespectful to indie developers lol
Although I get what you’re saying and agree, they added a lot more than the 2 animations lilsimsie showed. These things should just be updated to previous packs imo.
It's not only disrespectful to indie developers. It's shows their full lack of respect for their customers. Rather than building a positive relationship with customers who may spend more in the long-term as returning customers, they're in for a quick buck.
I think I’ll definitely get the kitchen stuff and I’m quite excited for the cleaning kit, I’m heavy on gameplay and I love making the sims live the lives that are individually chosen for them but simple things like cleaning and doing laundry is that extra bit of real life I like for them!
I feel like they could have done so much more with vacuum’s. They could have made a chores kit and added brooms, mops, dust feathers. They could have added cleaning windows and tables as an option for sims to do, or made it an option to tell your child/teen sim to sweep/mop just clean in general. That’s something I wouldn’t mind paying for.
This video is legit a key reason why I like simsie. She doesn’t just review what’s in the kit but she talks about what problems they may create, what they can do with them, etc. ♥️
woah thanks for all the likes friends!! we stan Simsie!
And if you think this is pricey and you're paying in US dollars just imagine how it's gonna be for the rest of the countries that don't use that currency
If it is 5 euro then it would be 6.05 dollar
its £4.99 in englnd and the currencys are worth different amounts s it doesn't make sense
ea really just live in an American bubble. it's so infuriating how ignorant they can be to other countries (hating on the corporation, not players etc)
It costs 40DKK in Denmark which is about 6.50USD, and from seeing how expensive it is in a lot of other countries it looks like my country doesn’t have it too bad... even “just” paying 6.50USD is pretty expensive for what you’re getting here though.
5 dolars in Brazil is 25 reais, in here is almost impossible to have the full game, it's just to expensive, most of people who have the sims 4 just have the base game.
I'm so excited for a vacuum!! I've been wanting that for years!!! Also that kitchen set is SO PRETTY!!
“Sorry, i started a Fire because I was angry” LOL
This feels like they made stuff for free updates so the game isn’t lacking but then just put a price tag on it bc they could :/
"I guess it's this wallpaper just recolored to look better" wow so why'd you have to pay for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
vacuum should have went with laundry OR the pet pack. you know how fluffy pets shed? well you can vaacum it now!
“Cool content” this is honestly not even shit I want. I want more gameplay and cas items but I’m not very excited for vacuuming. I just refuse to pay for any of this but I know that so many people are and they’re gonna keep wasting their time on these instead of updates and expansion packs most simmers WANT. I’m tired of it.
I'm sorry but I'm a Nigerian girl who plays the sims on console, so I can't even get cc so I just play base game because I can't afford to pay for dlcs that come out because of how expensive it is when converted to my currency and I just feel alienated from the sims community. Its so upsetting to know that even if I tried to save up I could only get an expansion pack at most or a stuff pack at least and I'll have to save up for such a long time. So it really does offend me to know that the sims don't take into consideration players who don't live in the U.S.A. So this new dlc might be good news for some people but to me its just another thing I can't get on the sims 4 and honestly it makes me feel like I would have to stop playing sooner or later.
Same. In my country its like 40k Indian rupees for all the packs and the average pay is 10-15k indian rupees. This is why I pirate the whole game with no guilt. I won't pay them a single penny ever. But I do understand your situation since you're playing in console, you can't pirate it either :(
Save up your money for a second hand gaming laptop from 2016-ish and just pirate the game with VPN on. It's much more profitable than wasting your money like that.
Is it possible for me to transfer some money to you so you can buy a dlc? Sims has been in my life since I was a kid so I would like to share my love for the game with you :)
When it comes to games like this bit torrent is a great friend, anadius repack has all packs for free and when sims puts new content u can get it 1 day later , its a great solution especially when sims doesnt even sell in your country like mine
@@1dopje1 If you're still willing to do that im up for that offer😳😳
i think it could’ve been SO FUN if there were in-game challenges (such as to reach to the top of your career or get married or like the plant-sim/easter egg challenge) and these mini kit pack things would be free rewards. then it could be part of the game and would incentivize players to play!
Yes! That would have been so fun!
omigod I would love that!!
I'd really appreciate if sims builders/creators like you try to avoid using these "kits" and less popular packs in general in order to make builds and sims more accessible to people who only buy more popular packs or don't have any packs (:
I really liked the cleaning kit! It definitely would have been an awesome laundry pack add, but I’m really enjoying the game play and new aspirations!
"who wants to pay for cleaning" Eco-Lifestyle would like a word.
@@gabyward5855 Honestly if they wanted to add cleaning they honestly should have added it to the Laundry pack because separating them sounds like a scam
What sucks is that in Australia, Sims games are even more expensive. So for example, expansion packs are $50 and game packs are $30. These Kits are going to be $8. It’s just absurd!
It's the same for New Zealand! It makes everything so expensive!
Canada here, and we have the same issue with it being even more expensive than the US. I have only ever bought a single pack full price (Vampires) because I had just bought the game and didn't know that they go on sale constantly. I love pointing out to US simmers that we pay ~$50 for an expansion and watching their heads explode with the idea of it being that much.
in Brazil it costs 29 reais for a kit. lol. so damn expensive
In the UK they just did a straight currency swap. $4.99 to £4.99. That's not even remotely the same price. I think EA just stuck their middle finger up at all non-Americans with these Kits. I might've bought one or two of these things on sale, but now I know the sale price here is basically just going to be how much the pack should actually cost EA can shove it up their arse.
but $40 in usd is equal to 51 Australian dollars. So, at least for expansions, you aren’t getting ripped off. Now for game packs on the other hand, you’re losing about 5 dollars
I got the kitchen and Hoover pack and I love the kitchen stuff, it's exactly what I've been wanting for a kitchen.
Wow!! Thank you for showing this!! I'm always on board for vintage stuff and sooo happy there is less yellow than the last pack- seriously it was overwhelming. You've convinced me to get 2 of the 3 (not much one for 2020's 90 inspired clothes, but everything else looks awesome!!). I remember the sims 3 store... I bought wayyy too much. Waited for discounts and the slot machine style "win discounts"... I hope they don't start that again...
This annoys me, as someone who wants more clutter like cups and glasses etc for kitchen shelves, makeup palettes to go on dressers, and for the sinks to fit things like the toothbrushes and soap on them... I just dont think these are necessary when there's so much more things they could do
would bb.showhidden objects help?
@@3lli0 The cups and bowls get treated like dirty dishes in gameplay... so sims will try to clean them up and they’ll get negative moodlets from being in messy/dirty environments 😭 I want kitchen clutter so bad!!!!
@@Lil_Leah ah yes. I didn't consider that.
@@Lil_Leah look at the kichen cc set! you can download for free and it has all the glasses, all the bowls and all the clutter to add to your kitchen 🙌🏼 xx
@@somelikeitwatt3038 Yeah I definitely need to look into cc!! All these packs are too expensive 😂 xx
I can totally see them make a "improved baby's kit" I can see them doing that!
Omg please no
@@-abi- just feels like something they would do
And it would to be a new crib, 3 new baby clothes and a baby chair for $5...

I love love this idea. Some don’t know how or don’t want to use cc and this is a great way for the team to add very specific things we’ve been asking for for years in small, manageable bits. And also this avoids people wanting one item in a game pack but not being able to afford it.
See The Sims 3 was cool with the store though, because you got sims store point for registering your game and expansion packs on the website. This way you were almost rewarded for buying the packs and could get new stuff from the store for "free".
If all these kits were put together they would be called the “friends” game pack
It really should've been a stuff pack instead of the 3 kits but I agreee
more like the Monica geller pack cause cleaning, and cooking
@Sophia Knapp stuff pack still applies. the paranormal stuff pack has a bunch of gameplay.
@@maddiep7454 YES AHAHAHHA
@@microwaavI had to look it up, there's also 39 build/buy and 32 CAS... so for $10 you can get a career as a paranormal investigator in a revamped ghost system with new npc PLUS 71 items... or half the price you can clean up a bit of dust...
The Country Kitchen Kit would work with a farm pack... Edit: thank u so much for the likes 😂
@Sam or.. we could have both good game play, good build items, and CAS in one pack. But because it's EA, the content either has to be half baked, or non existent so they can release it at a later date. Theres no reason that they can't please all players with a singular pack. Last time i checked, each "pack type" has it's own development team, so by creating these kits, they're only further dividing their staff, which may have consequences in larger future packs, as it's dividing the staff that could help build a better pack. Also, it's EA, if we ever do get a farming pack, it's still probably going to have one sad malfunctioning chicken coop
@Sam yeah my views on the kits are that Throwback Fit seems neat, but kinda wish it had more, Bust the Dust could have been a thing in Laundry Day and Country Kitchen would've been either in Cool Kitchen Stuff or a possible bigger country expansion.
@Sam oh i'm sorry, i misinterpreted you and thought it was defending ea's decisions lol, I apologise..
It just makes me what to work even harder to reach my sims4 goal in owning every last one of the add ons to the game your amazing
With the kitchen stuff you can say you got it at a yard sale or from your sims elder. If you pick different colors you can say that your sim wants to repaint or repair.
