The whole gender neutral thing is kinda of annoying cuz its basically female cas plopped into male cas and EA gets away with it calling it "gender neutral." Theres also plenty of feminine cas, why can't we have strictly masculine cas as well? I want my male sims to actually look masculine
and then they aren't actually even gender neutral most of the time. like, put a masculine top on a female frame and it makes the chest look all boxy and feminine tops on male frames sit around the collarbones all weird.
@@ald7282 True! Sometimes I need to borrow stuff from one frame to the other because I don't find anything that fits the vibe in the frame assigned and when I put it on my sim it looks off. So here I am relying on CC again in other to have cool Sims 😅
I’m okay with gender neutral items but they need more strictly masculine stuff. For variety’s sake
This is literally why I can never make a male sim because there clothes are never good they always look feminine but not like in a weird way but I really wish the men got some good clothes to and I can’t use cc because I use console
I also find that a lot of this oversized, baggy stuff makes female framed Sims' hips look so weird?? In a way that it wouldn't irl. I don't know, just looks weird for me. I never use that Incheon item because of it.
I feel like this kit is extra stuff that could of just been in the Werewolves pack
Even the book nook one feels like it would’ve been great in the growing together pack. Especially in the recreational center.
@@emismpunk yh they should have added it to growing together, it would have made the pack just a little more interesting 😭
@@emismpunk Or in Dream Home Decorator, it has the same (boring imho lol) vibes and the same modular concept.
I was thinking the same thing, it feels like we’re just getting copys of things just in different swatches
Every kit is this. Every kit are just items they could've added to different packs but sell them for extra knowing people will buy these. The greenhouse one fits Ecolifestyle or Seasons perfectly, for example.
Remember when Kits were focused on unique items and gameplay AND NOT LEFTOVERS FROM OTHER PACKS 😂
ikr! Those two kits are just leftovers of Werevolves and Dream Home Decorator.
As if the country kitchen one, one of the first kits, shouldn't have been released with Cottage Living 😂
@@dundee6402 *ACTUALLY* cottage living came AFTER the country kitchen kit.
@@ZoeyZocoExactly it came out like 2 months after the kit... So why (rhetorically) didn't they just wait and put the kit in cottage living where it matched with all the other build/buy?
As infuriating as it is to be sold leftovers, I would happily buy them if they added stuff for the other ages! We got barely any tattered werewolf clothing for our kids and toddlers, and obviously nothing for infants. If they released a kit with clothes on a matching theme for those younger ages, I would be all over that!
"this pack was made for female sim and male sims were an afterthought" i think that applies to every dlc
I was a kid/teenager in the 90s and we didn't wear anything like that... you are right Satch, it's just a "Gen-Z pretend-revival" 😂
I was just about to say the same thing. I want Kurt's green baggy cardigan brought back!
I third this. That they didn't have Doc Marten-style boots, platform Mary Jane's, thigh high tights, velvet dresses, and more plaid is just a crime. That they have hoodies is weird too. I don't recall a hood on anything other than the zip up sweatshirt.
I still dress grunge and emo and...Yeah this. It's not actual grunge. It's cute, but it's not actual grunge haha,
The bicycle shorts told me everything Lmaoooo
It’s called Soft Grunge it was popularised by hipsters in the 2010s
This is like if the concept of grunge farted in a room and then EA walked through a few hours later
I'm crying 😂
What a description lmao
Stop 😂😂😂😂
YES! 🤣
It's the La Croix of Grunge.
I hate the push for gender neutral clothing in the Sims. It's made them lazy when creating these pieces. They look terrible on both masculine and feminine bodies. This is not grunge, at least not true grunge of the 90's.
Yeah it definitely feels like them using wokeism as an excuse to be lazy
Some of it definitely looks more like the "omg so grungy"-stuff in the funky section in Primark, and some of it is really cool and as a now old scene-kid I'd still wear it. 😂
Agreed! I hoped for something more old school grunge. I love love love the mesh top though, it is speaking to my past self! I also disagree on Satch's assessment that it isn't a male top, he needs to hang around the places I hang around more 😂
@@Fragmented_Mask I absolutely knew multiple dudes with tops like that, I can agree. 😂
@@Fragmented_Mask Agreed! Although I think it’s more the fit of the mesh top on masculine frames that’s off.
Hahahha
@@Fragmented_Mask totally agree. The striped version even looks like a shorter version of that striped sweater Kurt Cobain had, I assume they pulled some inspiration from that for the sweater. I definitely agree that some of it looks like what basic people think grunge is, but a lot of it I can totally imagine seeing on a grunge musician or something.
Funny, I also thought : damn more hoodies.. And then I saw lilsimsies review and she literally said "Oh we don't have much Hoodies"...I was like huhh? Love your honest reviews, we need more simmers, who aren't afraid to criticize EA !
I had to finally unsubscribe from lilsimsies back when she was talking about the high school years pack.. they gave her parameters to build for the game and it looked fuckin terrible... like THIS is what you "created" for a game you literally built an entire youtube channel for? It's pathetic. Makes me think she's just here to be family friendly content for 12 years olds playing.
I was confused by her statement as well.
Maybe I just don’t have the packs that contain hoodies, but I actually think we do lack hoodies, at least men’s hoodies and full length hoodies for women. A lot of the hoodies I have at least are all cropped or not the best texture imo. We have a lot of oversized sweaters and sweatshirts, but apart from the moschino one there aren’t a lot of oversized hoodies. I personally always long for more hoodies when making sims cause they’re all cropped or old.
i mean we literally have like 3 good quality hoodies, its not that many
We dont gave any hoodies that are actually worth a shit, she was very rught
I am not going to lie you are right about the gender neutral stuff. It simply doesn’t work for certain pieces. They should slightly modify some of them, because some of these things do look weird depending on the body frame. Like sure use the same design but please oh please make some changes so they don’t look odd or broken on sims.
😂I cackled when Satch said, "Oh my god. What is this?? Fun dad shorts?" 🤣🤣🤣 ❤
😂
There have been a TON of tops that have been in the last few packs that have made sims look fat or misshapen. Off the top of my head I think the oversized things from High School Years and Growing Together are the worst offenders. Most of the sweatshirts, sweaters, and jackets look horrible. I mean the style is fine, but the fit is waaaaay off. I don't know why they keep doing it.
This is the grunge of the last year of the grunge. The «fashionable» grunge when you could buy grunge clothing.
Oh dang, that’s exactly it! JC Penney back to school “grunge!” I can see the catalog now, complete with the model holding a perfectly clean skateboard. 😂
I absolutely love how honest you are. It's something I've been missing with other Sims TH-camrs.. thank you for always making me laugh too!! Hope you feel better soon :)
I'm technically "woke" and disagree on not being allowed to wear what you like but I agree that not everything should be gender neutral and they should definitely invest in masculine clothing and it's not "inclusive" to make less masculine clothes.
I agree, It wouldn't even make sense to make everything gender neutral anyway
this! like they couldve made more of an effort for clothing to fit the gender roles if we are going to have the same items in both catagories
@@Angel-xe2tl I low-key feel like they're doing this so they don't ACTUALLY have to make as many clothes 😭
@@mirimariana Well yeah. They're cutting corners. Nevermind that they're removing the corner entirely. As someone pointed out, this kit felt like it belonged in the werewolf pack. Kits are just scam.
everybodies saying they need to make more “masculine” clothes but even in real life, men who prefer to dress like ur average straight male have a LOT less clothing options compared to women bc theres only so much u can do when society’s perception of “masculine” is just strong & boxy. So its rlly not an EA problem
The oversized hoodies are weird. They stick out like it’s a butt. It never tries to fit to the body. Idk if anyone gets that. But it’s like there’s an invisible butt underneath. Cc does a good job of showcasing how oversized clothing should look even if someone is very small in size. The back of the hoodies should not be lifted like that, it should just lay down.
I was in my late teens during the grunge era and this is just a whisper of that. Like you said, it’s idealized from people who were babies during the era. This isn’t gatekeeping and obviously it’s not their fault they weren’t of the time, but I wish they would do heavier research to up the authenticity. They could have watched music videos and enjoyed themselves without having to smell the real grunge kids. 😂
The trouble is grungecore is an aesthetic, but grunge was not an aesthetic. It happened naturally.
Yep, it was stuff gathered from thrift stores and scruffy old things from the back of the closet.
It became imitated by fashion when it got popular though, shops started selling clothes like it to profit from what was trending .
I was thinking like Avril type outfits. Those jeans that were sooooo huge at the bottom🤣 the boots with the little hooks on the side...that mesh top on the guys is horrible and def not grunge
A real grunge kid who Smells like Teen Spirit
I live the golden age of grunge (yes, i'm that old) and it doesn't look grunge for me, it's too clean (werewolves pack stuff is more grungy) It also lacks of chequered shirt (yes, i know 😂) the shoes are nice but not relevant for a true grunge style (i think about dr martens or big van's). The troussers also must have been way more baggy and the belt different (like rather with a long key/wallet chain) . Yes that's some "grungycore" look for gen Z, and that's ok in a way, but that's not true grunge. I'm also ok with the male "crochet pullover" (i absolutely don't know how it's called in english) it's a feminime frame, and i'm some king of weird woke NB person who wears that kind of stuff : this does not look good on a male frame
Agreed. They should of given us something authentically grunge instead of this. Imagining any grunge band dressed like this makes me laugh.
The mesh top (thing with holes) doesn’t fit the male frame at all.
He’s right, it’s made for females and then turned unisex as is their habit recently.
that black dress with the shirt under it... i knew so many girls in highschool who wore that. and most of them weren't emo or grunge or any of the sort. it was just a common fashion thing in the 00s
I’ve always thought that kits were left overs with a price tag
I really f’ing love how satch is relatable. Disclosing his little sick bug in the beginning, the edit of yesterdays video of him in his oodie, having a chav as his main simmer.. is just making me love him even more 💕
I really do see him going far with his channels and genuinely see a lot of growth of following to come soon as he’s just so unapologetically himself
gen Z grunge core is the MOST ACCURATE description ever
This kit: Werewolves and eco lifestyle had a baby.
Yes I thought I was the only one that thought the oversized clothes make the sims look fat.
As a millennial, I like this pack cause its actually clothing I wear. The fact it's called grunge makes me laugh cause I would never describe myself as grunge or emo. If anything its reminiscent of Sims urbz skater clothes for me. This is skater clothes of the early 2000s for me with baggy shirts and chunky skater shoes and clothes pin accessories lol. I love the book kit too BTW. But that's because I love reading in real life and I like the neutral tones and versitility of the objects.
This pack isn't exactly werewolves to me, werewolves is more proper grunge since it's more like...torn and tattered. Dumpster finds if you will.
This pack is like what massive brands like Prada and Gucci think grunge is.
Am I the only one kinda pissed that the bag wasn't a separate accessory? It's so cute and I'd have loved to use it with other outfits (not that I'm getting the kit 😂)
You've touched on this in another video but it's so true that Sims is lacking in masculine clothes.. dare I say "normal" clothes for male sims 😂 hope you feel better soon ❤
After watching this it's very apparent that Sims needs to start hiring 40 YEAR OLDS to create these packs. This looks like a 20 year old "influencer" going through her Mom's Seventeen magazine was trying to create this pack. There's not even any platform shoes or trench coats!! Where's the chain wallets?? The new eyebrow swatch of the pencil thin look? All they had to do was watch a few Gwen Stefani music videos.
thanks for sharing the review with us! and I hope you feel much better soon ❤
It’s definitely more skater vibe than grunge I’d say. Grunge was velvet, cardigans, etc not hoodies and vans 😂😂
Eh grunge definitely was a lot of hoodies and vans.
I feel very little grunge here, so that worries me if they do goth.All this needs to go directly into a Werewolves refresh.
FIRST : I am very disappointed. I don't have the werewolves pack but this seems like it could have been in there, not fair for the people who bought it (but sadly usual). I thought it would be so much more grungy (even if it looks really nice, but not grungy enough imo) SECOND : of course gender neutral clothes are nice ! it's nice to have clothes "fitted" to both frames, so you can fit whatever you want ! but THIRD : wtf that doesn't exclude having to make clothes for one whole frame, it's really discriminatory for me. It's already difficult to do a nice looking guy sim but ea is not helping ): agree with you Satch, however I would not take away the fact that clothes are fitted for both frames. But they are indeed content with ignoring a whole ass half of the sims population. it makes me sad. rant over
I agree! I really think that all the clothes in the sims4 should be "gender netraul" because truly anyone can wear anything. I personally went to school with many men who love to wesr traditionally women coded clothing, and I personally like a lot of traditional mens clothing. I think that a good goal for the sims team would be to make every piece of clothing fit each type of frame. However I don't think that should be an excuse to skimp out on items or "inflate" a pack. The item has the same pattern for goodness sake, it's not like its a completely original item, you're just adjusting it to fit a certain body type in a more complimentary way. The same way my boyfriend could wear a tshirt and it would look a certain way on him, and I could wear it and it would look a certain way on me, However it is Still just ONE shirt. I think creating specific gendered clothing is totally okayand valid, but I think it should just be an assumed thing that the clothing fit's each sims frame properly. It's a life simulation game, and it's the reality for a lot of people.
They have a layered chain necklace in this kit and that’s basically the only thing I really love the look of. Shame you would have to buy a whole kit just for that
Edit: I got the kit and actually like it. Some of the clothes are definitely on the frumpy side though 🙈
The earrings too, really nice
@@_Blanchett_ I did like those too. Maybe I’ll get it 😅🙈
The fishnet shirt can absolutely be a men's shirt. Look up goth and even punk menswear from the 70s, 80s and 90s and you'll find fishnet!
Grunge is not Goth.
@@lynetteclark that's not the point of my comment lol. Trust me, as someone who likes both goth and grunge culture I know they are different. I simply was replying to what satch said about how the fishnet shirt is not masculine 🙄
The fishnet is fine, for males too BUT this mesh was definitely made for female sims and just doesn't look good on males. EA takes female meshes, puts them in a male category without adjusting the shape and call it a day. They do it all the time and that's the main problem.
@@dominikac.5506 But that's not what was implied in the video. It was implied that it's not masculine, not that it fit the masculine frame in a weird way
He didn’t say fishnets aren’t masculine he said this specific fit does not work for the male sim and he is right. It looks like the sims was squeezed in it and it looks weird on the torso length too. I even googled it and the ones that came up look good on men. This looks like a sim just accidentally bought a shit 3 sizes too small lol. The neck also looks terrible . I’ve had shirts too small for my neck and it feels like you are being choked.
If this is grunge, I don’t want to see the *goth cas kit.*
There goes my mild excitement for that one.
satch your my fav youtuber😩🖤
I grabbed this kit alarmingly fast after seeing Satch review it. My whole life seems to be built around the grunge aesthetic and I own similar looking fits from all those outfits practically
I read this as “garage kit.” I was getting excited for like lawn mowers, cars and other stuff you might have a garage 🤣🤣🤣 man my disappointment
😂😂😂
Not the Zumiez Sale Rack pack 😭
Male sims are always an after thought, even the menswear kit made menswear an after thought. lol Sadly a lot of menswear in the sims is poorly fitted to their bodies. Other games nail the female and male frames making them look sexy even in a trash bag because the fit is so nice. But EA almost never does it for male sims and tend to hit and miss on females.
You are just delightful 😂😂I was having a blah day but this review made me laugh!! Keep being you!!
Hi! I just really want to say that I really love your videos! I love to watch them and relax after a long days work ☺️ or to listen to them while i am doing other things!
You always make me smile on my tired days. Thank you! I hope you are having a good weekend! :)
I love your reviews so much, they always make me laugh. Hope you feel better soon. 🥰
I haven’t played Sims in forever. I just watch your vids for the updates to see what’s happening with the game.
Thanks for the honest reviews. ☺️
Yeah the male cloths look like an afterthought. I google grunge male cloths cc and I found more interesting stuff. They could have included some sleeveless tank top, a jacket with patches, pants with chain, oversized hoodie with thumb hole... The kit is not bad but could be better with more unique pieces.
Your reviews compared to other youtubers is always hilarious 😂
this isnt grunge this is 2015 tumblr fashion 😭😭😭
Watching all your recent videos, and liking. Comment purely for algorithms. I appreciate you and your humour Satch, thank you.
I was very excited by this kit because I love grunge style, but now I'm really disappointed and feel like my cc looks way better... don't know if I'll buy it
You completely missed the serious 90s Dad sunglasses but it's OK. The boxers I've found to fit well with shorts or pants that hang low as they peak out from underneath. It's honestly really nice we have that now & they aren't just attached to the pants itself. I also enjoy having more baggy clothes especially for female Sims as most of the pieces we have are super form fitting which is fine but I wore tons of baggy clothes, double layers shirts, etc. throughout middle & high school. The high-tops (where you called them Vans) with all the writing on it really sent me back where I would just draw & write all over every pair of my Converses.
well made but these are def not real grunge style unless that's American style grunge unlike the UK, werewolves pack, high school years and thrift store outfits over hang, they should put these in them instead of making a kit about it. I am sure the Goth kit will be re-vamp of base game goth and toned down vampire pack thing. Netted top on the male frame gives more of an Emo vibe really. Always love your honest reviews Satch ,
Definitely not American grunge. Three of my sisters, a cousin and al of their friends had a sort of emo-grunge (depending on the month) thing going on when they were teens. They did not wear this.
There is a single earring and new necklace too I think I missed in your video. Thanks for the fun review.
Your laugh is so infectious, I giggle every time you do lol.
Hey Satch, hope you feel better soon. I love your reviews and don't understand why anyone would think you're negative. You talk about the negative aspects but you also always talk the positive even for a bland kit like this one. It feels neutral and fair
You are literally hilarious! Subscribed!
the new videos have been just so real and honest love it no bs
I don't know if this pack is grunge, I expected more
I thought they were going back to the days of the Seattle Grunge era and KB and Nirvana (which seems like they did a halfway decent job via Werewolves).
I was hoping they will and got excited for the kit. This is very disappointing.
Gen Z grunge core is a perfect description. These should’ve been included in another pack. A few nice items but most of the masculine items shouldn’t be under the masculine filter.
I hope to god this bag of scraps from werewolves isn't the "goth kit" they were talking about
I don’t know you and you don’t know me but I really like you. You just seem really nice. Been watching a lot of videos. Great content!!
I love your laugh 😂❤❤
Reminds me of what me n my old babysitter Crystal would wear! Literally a few months ago I found out the style we wore was called Scene.
You literally made my day
Yeah im with you, when we first heard clothes would be able to be worn by both male and female sims it was supposed to be cool that you can erase the barrier but the barrier implies there would be assets for male sims and for female sims seperately, i like my male sims wearing more gender neutral clothing a lot but that doesnt mean we dont need stereotypically masculine clothes too
You put it so perfectly saying gen z grunge core 👌
This is indeed honest, especially the beginning.. Like, very beginning.
Idc I Stan everything you say why you’re my top favorite sim TH-camr you’re real asf
Hope you feel better Satch!
I really wanted a gothic kinda hardcore grunge for maybe vampires but oh well
Perfect kit for a goth teen or y/a :) I'll have to get it eventually.
i want a hairstyle kit SO BAD with longer hair
The Sims 4: Hipster Alpha CC Kit
This is not the "goth" kit they sent out a survery about is it? It better not be
nope. it's a Simmer collaboration
@@mewletter thank f for that
Genz grungecore hahaha
Theyll never know what tumblr softgrunge was
Hate to admit i like the stuff but it all feels a bit recycled
I do like they include all clofhez for both even tho its not femenine or masculine
I like making tomboy girls or guys who wear more fem clothes but they should make sure theres clothes for both styles
If they wanted grunge inspiration they should have just watched the movie Singles. Having lived during that time, that is the quintessential example of the era. (Helps its set in Seattle which is my neck of the woods).
This thing in 2:10 isn't some type of bicycle shorts? It looks a bit like it. I still hate it lol
But I like new tank tops - I'm usually not using them rhat often because they mostly look terrible
It did come with more accessories lol, you missed the necklace and earring.
I agree with the cynical view that all of these gender neutral clothes is just to cheat up the number of items on the game! I can’t get behind to any of the CAS kits, specially when CC exists. Also, we get so few unwoke simmers we love you for it, you coud easily just shut up and virtue signal, you do not need to at all, most people are not woke.
grew up in Seattle from 87' to 95' some of this could be considered grunge. But we really did not where a lot of that. Jean Jackets and Flannels were a big thing. Doc Martins. Baby doll dresses, etc. lol that net sweater on the dude reminded me of Lenny Kravits Lmao!
I never use any of the oversized sweaters etc, they change the shape and size of the sims in a weird way that doesn't happen with real clothes, it's a fit issue that they see to copy and paste to every new baggy item.
I have a dad in my household play and even I struggle and get annoyed at those god damn dad shorts/jeans.
Agreed, that oversized thingy reminds me of when you neglect your sim and overeat and they get those droopy shoulders but over wide hips and saggy belly 😂😂 that’s what that top looks like omg I’m dead 😂 SATCH GET WELL SOON!! X
❤ get well soon
I probably would of bought this when I only was playing on console but now I have a pc it just feels unnecessary when I can find like cc of exactly what I want and looks better
looks more like what skaters wear. I wish they would have put skateboards, with the skateboarding gameplay and a skatepark. Gen x grunge was like nirvana and courtney love's babydoll dresses- I still like this pack and will get it but no rush Ihave a ton of cc that's excellent. Im glad to see it in the game.
I keep up with Sims through your channel even though I stopped playing, though my wedding stories was the last dlc I ever bought I feel like EA has really gone downhill, even if I was still a sim shopaholic I wouldn't have bought several of these latest dlcs
Im honest, I love you for the first 5 seconds hahaha 😂 mua
SATCH! paint your nails for a week and see if you can keep them. I wonder how long it would take for them to crack like that
A nice pair of not-ripped pants would be fab. Just saying. And maybe if they stopped with the crop tops in literally every pack. I was a little surprised the book kit didn't have a crop top.
How are they gonna make a grunge pack and not have any boots or tattoos other than those 2 which i (as someone who identifies as grunge) dont think are grunge styled tattoos at all
While this is literally how I've dressed since I was 14, I agree, it is NOT grungy enough at all. They shoulda gone all in on early 2000s emo/punk/screamo/scene looks. And it's no way near enough content.
I swear I would love a scene/2000s pack with like crazy colorful anime hair and chain wallets and studded belts with ripped jeans. I mean come on
I just want to know if the male model was meant to be Tom DeLong from Blink-182 or it’s a coincidence?
I'm honestly, just let down we didn't get any fun, punky hair. I feel like we were sorta owed something like that, something spikey something edgy ya know?
I have the exact same problem you do with the lack of masculine clothing options and I would argue that EA failing to include proper masculine clothing makes the game gynocentric, and thus not woke. If anyone has a good source for where to get Maxis Match male CC, come find me because I'm dying to know!
I would disagree and say quite a lot of this looks grunge. The pinafore dress with. T shirt unde4 was something I wore a lot during that era with leggings under and checked shirt. Also guys stuff at the time did include a lot of those knee length shorts. Eddie Vedder was particularly fond of them. Also men like Kurt Cobain were wearing ‘feminine looking clothes. The oversized jacket thing is hideous though. You’re spot on with that assessment.
lol I love the vans half cabs. the other sneakers look like adidas sambas
i really like the gender neutral style clothing and i know that grunge fashion does touch on the gender neutral side at times so i think its an interesting take one it :(
there is also a new necklace and earrings in the pack
