yeah they should either update and add new items to older stuff packs or just turn them into kits for those who don’t own them??? even if tbh at this point they should make them as an sdx drop, it’s basically the same amount of items🥲
@@hejda4335 yes i agree that it would be unfair, the best thing would be to refresh it and add new items and gameplay like they did with spa day, cause it really doesn’t make sense to keep it as a stuff pack :(
She is often out of the loop tbh. That's the thing with the Simtubers who get the packs for free. Kinda like when they made only American and Australian Game Changers build for Snowy Escape and no one see that as an issue.
@@mjm3091 I recommend Plumbella. Their critisism is much more valid imo. This whole kit is just another set of stuff that we already have OR stuff that SHOULD have been included in existing packs. Edit: Forgot some words
Lot of people said they'd want the kit items as Outdoor Retreat refresh, but I think Outdoor Retreat deserves a big refresh, like more to do with the water in Granite Falls or something
Yeah this kit is about kids playing in the back yard vibes and making forts and DIY stuff. To me that's not what Outdoor Retreat is about. Sure they are both outdoors and stuff but idk to me this kit doesn't go with it. Idk what I would want in a Outdoor Refreash but this kit wouldn't be it.
true!! we got the spa day refresh and the sims team is acting like they don’t even know what pack refreshes are so..! we’ve got kit after kit after kit.
If this was in Outdoor Retreat, we wouldn’t get this many items and they would do less in terms of a refresh. I prefer swimmable water and better gameplay for that pack, Outdoor Retreat isn’t about kid sleepovers so I’m fine with this being a kit.
@@sophiejah yeah, recolors are not worth my money. I can understand why people like them, I just don't find them valuable. The tent thing is cool, but not cool enough for $5. I wish they would release a base game version of it since it looks like a bunkbed-like system
This is exactly why I'm not buying this kit I refuse to spend 5 dollars for the 83rd variation of the same freaking thing. It's actually infuriating at this point.
One of the many frustrating things about Kits is they are only ever build/buy *or* cas *or* gameplay, never a mixture. If this was a stuff pack they could have sleepovers. They could have made the blanket fort a gameplay object that your sims can build, like they decorate the christmas tree. But that's not allowed in a kit, it can only be items and no new gameplay, only gameplay that was already made for previous packs.
I have wanted this for such a long time. I wish they would just patreon a small group of developers to create this. I would help make it happen no matter how long it took.
CAN WE GET A SLIDE PLEASE just a normal slide for a normal family backyard (not a jungle gym) or like jump ropes or kids chalk like plz gameplay anything
My only complaint with the little campers kit is that I wish the blanket fort (and maybe the projector) had to be built. Like literally, they could’ve just made it a basket of blankets/w all the different swatches and recycled the animation from Christmas tree decorating and/or school projects and it would’ve been so cute
it would have been cool if it was like the Christmas tree from seasons where you can buy one pre decorated or a bare one where your sims add the decorations. like if you could buy the fully put together fort but also a fort making kit or box type thing it would have been so cute.
@@Delanore-Roosevelt Seriously- they have the play tents from Dream Home Decorator which already had appropriate interactions for a fort. Just combine that and the school project and make a real activity
The little campers kit is absolutely adorable and I love the amount of thought and care that clearly went into designing the items and all the little details- BUT you’re right the fort at least should’ve absolutely been gameplay to build it! The actual BUILDING part of a fort when you’re a kid is half the fun! As they seem reluctant to add actual new gameplay into kits maybe little campers should’ve even been a game pack? I think the idea is so cute and inspired and could easily be expanded into a full pack! Would’ve been perfect as a summer release too.
@@talia0310 Yeah :( The last few stuff packs were so good. We really thought we’d get more like that, huh? Turns out paranormal was just the stuff packs last hooray before they curled up and died
I just made a date setting for my teen sims even though it’s targeted for kid sims the items have a romantic ambience (in my opinion) it’s super cute. 🥰
"We needed more stuff for kids to do!" but we didn't get more stuff for kids to do. We got ANOTHER activity table that just looks different from the others. We got another doll house, another swing set, another Blarfy. Yes, they're beautiful, but there's nothing new here. That's just...disappointing. The only thing I saw there that might be interesting, is that tent thing might be useful in rags to riches stories or homeless stories, if it counts as shelter. With the top having an opening like that, I doubt it will count, though.
I agree, the kit is very much reskinning. But the tent is a deal breaker for me. I’m doing a 100 baby challenge in a tiny home(64 tiles). It only has 1 bath, 2 bedrooms (the main with a twin bed, a desk and computer, plus a closet connecting to the wall/outside for woohoo). Tents will make the gameplay more fluid, and maybe I can even get a tiny bath with the extra space!
Yeah I find it interesting that usually if there was another activity table everyone would complain “we don’t need another activity table we have so many” and now when it’s in a kit it’s like it’s the cutest thing ever 🤔
@@annaluizaferrugini7200 as someone who has started this same challenge multiple times I have a tip for saving space, you can just have your sim try for a baby in the shower, so you don’t actually need the double bed or closet.
Something about the creator codes rubs me the wrong way. I’m worried that giving reviewers a financial reward for a pack doing well sales-wise is a HUGE conflict of interest. Even if reviewers do their best to stay objective (though I would argue that not letting this interfere at all with a review- even subconsciously- is impossible), it creates an image amongst simmers that purchasing these packs isn’t just a financial transaction with a large corporation which has been consistently producing mediocre products, but is in fact a way to support their favorite content creators. Having unbiased reviewers who are willing to call out underperforming packs and games is a crucial part of the gaming industry and I think it’s no coincidence that this move on EAs part comes right after the Wedding Pack was (rightfully) slammed by reviewers. I feel bad because I do love Kayla and have been obsessively watching her content for ages now. My first instinct when I heard about this was ‘well if I’m gonna buy the pack anyway, I might as well send some profit her way!’ But the more I think about the more it just doesn’t sit right with me. If you want to support Kayla I think we’d be better off buying merch or sending her the money through twitch or hell even asking her to open a patreon or something but something about muddying the waters between ad and review feels wrong and like it’ll do more harm than good in the long run.
Yeah, TBH it's a problem with UK creators cus our laws on what consists a "review" is quite strict. So something like this could be quite problematic for them. In the US it's less strict. But in the UK it's a problem for all the above reasons you mentioned
Yeah like I’m the U.K. I think creators would have to have some indication of it being an AD even though it’s not and they are just reviewing the packs, but because they are financially affiliated with it they would have to have to say ADVERT somewhere on screen which may confuse viewers… but I do like the idea of top creators being financially rewarded by EA for bringing people to their products or even just getting people talking about their products.
Definetly agree. I don't mind supporting my favorite creators but I want to support them directly, not through a company that tends to release unplayable/buggy packs to their consumers. Plus, what if bias is formed and EA prefers to work with creators that bring in the most profit or creators start swaying their reviews of packs to get more income. You can look at the beauty community for that, many of the influencers there have switched ideals once the money came in from certain brands. It feels the same kind of shady to me. Idk, personally, I won't be using any code unless if it brings a discount to me too! 😅
I feel like if there wasn’t a code Kayla would have absolutely called out the fact that half this shit we already have in game and they just changed colors and what not. Like we didn’t get more stuff for kids we got the same stuff with new paint.
I reckon EA will start charging extra for all packs to cover the 5% loss so they always get the full amount, just in case someone uses a code and if not EA pockets the extra cash. Yeh I like Kayla but she seems to be pushing this way too much and it makes it feel weird to me. I saw a few of the other creators involved aren't talking about it as much.
The thing I think would be really cute is if the Smores tray was functional and you could set it on a coffee table or something and then your sims could grab one of the fire pokers by the fireplace and your sims could roast marshmallows in the fireplace but only if you set out the Smores tray
@@SamNicholson1214 apparently they will sometimes make them if you roast marshmallows? I don't think I've seen it though so I don't know when it actually happens
The kit for kids is a really good one for people who don't have a lot of packs and can't afford the bigger ones and I'm happy about that but I'm SO sick of them giving us the same items with different meshes, they NEED to stop being lazy and give us NEW gameplay, recycling content is such a big issue in The Sims 4.
yeah, i find as a pc player that i could just get the exact stuff they're offering in kits but for free by cc creators. and even then, some cc creators are making new gameplay and animations with their cc, which EA has only done with bust the dust. not that i loved the sheer amount of store content for ts3, but i love the way ts3 had actual functional objects that came as part of the store pack purchases. i feel like this pack could've been so much better if there'd been one or two new gameplay objects included.
We need different kid activity’s besides the same drawing table. How about another science table, more instruments for kids, a fake kitchen set that the kids can “cook” on. I do love how the kit looks but I think kids need more stuff
a fake kitchen set would be so cute :( and going on that same path, they could even just have like “starter” versions of some of the skill items. starter workbench, starter kitchen set, starter gardening set, etc.
The clothing kit is okay, I already have cc, but the kids kit is adorable! But I swear if they throw ONE more activity table into a pack I’m gonna scream LMAOO
Addition, bc I just saw the eyes part: If they're actually doing werewolves that's an amazing tease, because in the Sims 2 Pets in order to have a werewolf sim you had to get bitten by a wolf. To attract a wolf to your lotquickly you needed a lot of trees and kids in your household...
I think they're doing creator codes because it was mainly creators that critiqued the wedding kit and im sure a lot of people delayed buying the pack/didn't buy it at all because of it, and EA was worried at seeing how little money they made on launch. This is probably their way of not bribing the creators but incenticizing them to sell kits.
I /hope/ creators will review new kits/packs/games as before; and otherwise long-time viewers will probably notice if creators suddenly don’t seem genuine or never use items they raved about in their actual gameplay. If you start selling garbage, ppl would eventually stop buying.
yeah that's probably it actually. They need to introduce more bias into the creator reviews system. Them giving youtubers early pack access is supposed to make EA more money by getting free promotion for the packs, not reduce sales because the youtubers warned their audience the pack was broken.
im honestly so mad no heels came with the moonlight chic kit!!! especially since the sneakers that we did get are so similar to ones we already have. they're almost identical to the ones in the incheon arrivals kit. enough sneakers!! i want better heels!!!
Can you explain why? I keep seeing people say this and it confuses me, because like Kayla said to me the only thing they have in common is being outside. I can’t imagine going to a camp ground and setting up a tv screen
I was one of those people, but this kit is to die for. It made me think how kits are a good way to add content that expands upon the CAS/BB of old packs they're not going to refresh (like Vampires) because they're too niche. Yeah some people can get CC, but not everyone can or wants to, so kits would be nice there. It's also a nice way to add to the game old survey ideas that aren't enough content to justify a pack.
@@diaaesc yeah, that's why it's weird. They seem to have put a lot of work on this, everything very detailed and all. I'm used to kits being a cash grab and this is the only one so far that does not feel like one, so something feels wrong lol
They just dropped a new scenario yesterday called Best Friends Forever, which has your child make one Best Friend, and several other good friends and continue those friendships on into their teen years. I think the Happy Campers Kit is going to be a HUGE help in doing that one. I'll bet they put out that scenario, just to make the Happy Camper Kit more attractive to get right now.
Is it just me, or is a "towel and umbrella fort" the most Florida thing you've ever said? I love it. We always used sheets, dining chairs and sofa pillows.
This build kit could be so good for story telling. A runaway teen/kid/mom with a young child trying to get by is way more likely to build a blanket fort for shelter than suddenly being able to build a house. Putting together toys themselves because they can’t easily go shopping/afford to shop. It’s so fun to think about!
When you said EA is doing a test with just the Sims, I thought well they've been "testing" with the Sims for years....testing how far they can take it and sell each tiny thing separately.
Yes this. Like why are werewolves seperate pack to vampires? Also they barely fix any bugs ever with many of the packs. The vampire aspiration is still broken. They released mermaids without a transformation animation. It just screams unrealistic deadlines and poor management on the part of EA.
Yep. They know a lot of players are going to buy every little thing they put out for Sims 4, so they know they can get away with it. Then those same people that buy everything on release day (even if it's something they weren't even excited for) have the nerve to also complain about all the packs lol. Like, you're the ones blindly buying everything and sending the message that EA can put as little effort into things as they want.
i'm glad they're finally making the kits a little more worth while... i still don't like the idea of them but at least the little campers one got me sold immediately!
Parisian fashion and the first line said “paired with sneakers” lol. French have always pointed and laughed at Americans thinking sneakers are fashionable
That's what I thought too. A Parisian nightlife kit and the only pair of shoes is sneakers is super off. I know they went with a real Parisian designer (or influencer? idk) for this one, but the vibes are still America all over the place lol
I grew up in a complex with about 50 kids almost all of us had single parent homes. When we were little, we would either bring a tv and console onto the porch or we would all throw whatever we could get together and make a multi room mansion fort (it was seriously huge!) and bring a tv in there and watch a movie or spend the night, probably about 20 kids in all. This was back in the early 2000s we didn't do it as much once we got older but it was always unsupervised outside of the older kids looking after everyone. We also played school or house or whatever and we used the entire complex so like our front porch (a slab of concrete and the same as the back patio) would be our "houses" and we would "ride the bus" (a kid or two would pull a wagon around with kids in it) and the playground was our "school" we had way too much fun. Science "class" included some very dangerous but happy memories.
The sims community gotta be the hardest crowd to please. 😅 I love the sims, and I love to play legacy with different generations and I will definitely buy this kit. Mods and CC changed everything for me in game play, and I can't live without MCC, Relationship and Pregnancy overhaul, Lumpinou Mood Pack and Wonderful whims. And also TSR CC.
I just found your channel and I’m happy I did! I love how positive and happy you are about the Sims 4! I’m so tired of people just complaining about everything
Ikr? It's like, if all you want to do is complain about the game, then why do you play? I get youtube is some people's job, but like if you hate the Sims that much then why make yourself miserable by having a channel dedicated to it?
As a Parisian, “Parisian style” is highly inaccurate. It’s more like the “fashion students” tiktok trend. That said, new clothes are always great ! also LOVE the second pack
Seeing that glittery turtleneck shirt from the new kit in the grey swatch and immediately considering doing humanizations of various Disney parks attractions, using that shirt specifically on the Epcot ball character
The fact that the TV item actually has a very special functionality is fucking cute and i’ll DIE for this kit. Like i’m really happy with it even if there are a lot of recolors, they’re REALLY high quality recolors and i honestly din’t mind because they don’t FEEL cheap
the little campers kit is literally perfection omg I'm in love!! 11/10 marshmallows I still hope they'll bring back stuff packs again soon because they could make such good ones now, like paranormal and tiny living :')
I cannot express how thankful I am to lilsimsie. My native language is spanish and your videos helped me a lot to improve my english and to add vocabulary. thanks you a lot!! 😊
I really wish they would’ve stretched out that CAS Kit to be more of a Dating Pack that came with online dating and a mini little ‘downtown’ world with 4 or 5 community lots to visit (parks, bars, arcades, lounges etc)
Can you please make a family home with a tree house/cubby house out the back because I would love to see that, I feel like having a treehouse or cubby is every child's dream!!!
I really wish the kits had been combined into a stuff pack with a few more things and the smore item could become functional and be the game play aspect of it
05:34 one of my current fave fashion trens is these style shorts with matching blazers. I can't pull them off but I love the way people style these types of shorts
Kits are growing on me. Even just a kit here and there that has a few nice build items, a few nice Cas, maybe another career! Really love this camping kit. Really digging the modern campfire pit! I'm actually excited to play with kids in my game cause I absolutely do not like playing with kids. They just don't have enough kid stuff to do in the game
This creator codes thing just doesn't sit right and I feel Kayla is pushing it too hard for it to make me feel better about it. I really think that if it continues EA will up DLC prices by at least 5% so they are still always getting their full money from packs. Then that extra 5% will be there to go to the creator if a code is used, if not EA will pocket the extra cash. I really think this idea is going to end up costing the consumer more.
Oh I know right! Actually it’s so cunning! They’re literally buying influencers’ opinions with gamers’ money! Very clever, huh? Like what the hell? I feel like I won’t be able to trust any of the opinions on the new sims stuff anymore because it feels like everyone will be pushing the audience to buy it and use their creators codes to earn an extra $ or two. The creators should be paid, and they do a lot for the community, but the way EA has set this up is just awful
yea and she's trying to justify it by saying other games do it too. usually the consumer would get a discount though. and sims 4 releases packs that don't work and shouldn't be compared to other games.
Agreed ! The last video where she mentions it the comments were almost overwhelmingly against creator codes and I really hoped maybe she'd see the comments and really READ them and realize why people aren't keen on these codes but apparently not 😵💫
You could do a romantic date setting with the string lights. Put a bunch of trees and have it look like they’re strung around them. And put a table for two. So cute.
Am I the only one who wished we had more games options? We have like 3 video game options on the console and 2 “board” games. I want game options that are parodies of real life games. I want UNO, Monopoly, Call of Duty, Minecraft, etc! (Of course they’d have to be named something else that’s why I said they would be parodies)
yes and sims with the hot headed trait actually lose relationship points with ppl if they lose at monopoly. but we know the sims team would never think like that
Idk if this will function but with the kids camping bed maybe like put it against a wall and put the half size kitchen cabinets beneath it to make like an ikea kinda style bed with storage?
Final thoughts: The cas kit...I won't buy it because cc exists. Unless they prove their greed and block cc, I'll never get a cas kit The build kit...very cute swatches i love it and might buy it but i wish instead of drawing table or ANOTHER doll house, I would've preferred more outside stuff like slides or a see saw or a skateboarding ramp with skateboarding introduced
Recently, Lego released a set as a gift with purchase at Lego stores called “cosmic cardboard adventures” and this kit reminds me of that Set, which is a Lego recreation of a cardboard rocket ship. Love both the set and this kit so much, because it just takes me back to the days when I had an imagination that could take a straw wrapper and a paper clip and entertain myself by making up a story about “illegal muffin smugglers” well waiting for the begging of a play they took us to for an elementary school field trip, and I said the word “muffin” so many times that it became meaningless to me and the girl sitting next to me for a good few months. True story
They knocked it out of the park with this one, quite frankly. I really hope to see more cutesy kids stuff in the future. Toddler Sims and child sims are my favorite to play with.
I feel like maybe with movie hangout but disagree with outdoor retreat. I agree with Kayla in her opinion, this is just backyard summer fun to me, outdoor retreat is camping so things like fishing and nature things, maybe it’s just me but setting up a tv screen in the great outdoors doesn’t mix
@@Hivdghn yes because this is a build pack… every counter we get is a refresh of base game, every toilet, every literally anything that is in the base game. From what I can tell the only refreshed things are the folding furniture, which could have come in other packs, and the fight pit, which could have come in either romantic garden or perfect patio. And the only game play thing (that I’m aware of) is roasting marshmallows, which like Kayla said I’m pretty sure isn’t the selling point of outdoor retreat.
It would be really cute if the kit had these items like a "build kit" such as an item with piles of blankets and sheets with a stool. The kids could put it together themselves and that would build skills and relationships and then they could use them once they're built.
As far as those cute little cot beds in the BB kit, you could layer it into a different bed frame just to use the swatch, and I bet it would fit perfectly. Plus, it'd hide the lil legs too.
Seeing how excited you seem over this kids stuff: I have a game to recommand! It Takes Two has lots of cute kidstoys type scenery. You could play it with Dan! (Let me know if shes already played it, i am not sure)
I just got this kit and im already in love. The hanging lights are my favorite thing ever. Im obsessed with the swatches for the beds and the tent. 10/10 for me
I haven´t bought anything for TS4 since 2019. I am getting sick of kits and broken, buggy Packs. I really hope that Paralives will become a huge competitor. EA needs competition, they began to slack content wise since the beginning of TS4. There is less and less stuff in the packs, the game is full of bugs. Don´t get me wrong - I know TS3 wasn´t perfect. It was buggy as hell if you had everything installed but you could do so much. TS3 in a simple style like TS4 with some features of TS4 would have been perfect. Wait - I think I just described what Paralives promises to be. Here is hoping! Edit: Grammar
All i ask for is bug and glitch fixes, but apparently that's friking too much to ask for. It would be nice to get things like build a world, more body types, things of that nature, but fixing the buggy broken game would be a main thing to be at the top of the priorities list but i guess even that's a bit much to start with.
even though i don’t really like the concept of kits, but those two kits are really good. i use incheon arrivals all the time and i see myself using moonlight chic on every sim too. little campers kit is sooo cute, i also will use it a lot once i buy it
these will be my new exclusive doll house and activity table. I don't care what style of house or what type of family, they get this stuff exclusively. I'm in love.
creator codes with sims is just bribing simfluencers. ea doesn't want simfluencers to go against them like it was with skin tones issues. If simfluencers weren't so happy with fueling EAs greed and went against them again, we could get fixes for all those annoying bugs and issues Sims4 is having for part YEARS.
remember when kayla said she wanted to name her cow plants and they did it for her so fast. only after that did she mention skintones that simmers of color have been complaining about for years.
@@Simmerdownidc Yeah, big simfluencers like Kayla really have the power, but they don't realize that sadly. Or they don't want to. And now bribing comes into the picture. I'm, losing any hope for better sims4 :c
hear me out... imagine a board game pack :0 ive been playing the stardew valley board game so much recently and i work at a game shop so board games are a big part of my life. IMAGINE how cute it would be to have a family game night!
I feel like Kayla would of been more harsh in her comments about these kits (based on her previous reviews) if it wasn't for the damn Creators Code. The kids stuff just seems to be another colour swatch of existing items. No new playable interactions. It's like Spa Day all over again except that was a pack update, even then Kayla expressed her thoughts honestly and yet in this video her judgement seems to be biased already and I believe its because it's the Creator Code. I freaking pray that it doesn't become a regular thing!!!!!
Watch her complain about them non stop, because they're too big, they don't have neutral swatches or they don't match with anything else in game, as soon as the next dlc gets released. 🙃
I love this kit so much, I've downloaded it and I'm using it already as I have a family with twin girls who have recently become children so this is perfect for me. I would definitely recommend this kit and even though it isn't a gameplay kit per say, I think it's added a different aspect to gameplay for me.
I don't know if I should laugh or cry that little campers kit has more than double the objects that luxury party stuff has.
They need to update luxury party😭
yeah they should either update and add new items to older stuff packs or just turn them into kits for those who don’t own them??? even if tbh at this point they should make them as an sdx drop, it’s basically the same amount of items🥲
@@irenectln yeahh but thats unfair for the people who already bought luxury party
@@hejda4335 yes i agree that it would be unfair, the best thing would be to refresh it and add new items and gameplay like they did with spa day, cause it really doesn’t make sense to keep it as a stuff pack :(
@@irenectln right??!! It would be so fun if they added cute clothes and much more build stuff. I bought it when i was little😭it has like 2 items😍
The kits keep coming and they won't stop coming, When they heard of kits they hit the ground running
It’s true there’s no going back 😂
didnt make sense not to make more kits
the checks get big and the content get small
So much to do so much greed
So many niche things that aren't a necessity

i love how no one noticed but i wont snitch
Everyone: STOP GIVING US THIS SAME KIDS ACTIVITY TABLE
Simsie: near tears over an activity table
Oh god another effing activity table.... it turned me off the kit to be honest
It is incredibly cute imo but idk about Kayla since if it sells well she earns well too
She is often out of the loop tbh. That's the thing with the Simtubers who get the packs for free.
Kinda like when they made only American and Australian Game Changers build for Snowy Escape and no one see that as an issue.

I just want more stuff FOR the activity table.
Lot of people said they'd want the kit items as Outdoor Retreat refresh, but I think Outdoor Retreat deserves a big refresh, like more to do with the water in Granite Falls or something
Yeah this kit is about kids playing in the back yard vibes and making forts and DIY stuff. To me that's not what Outdoor Retreat is about. Sure they are both outdoors and stuff but idk to me this kit doesn't go with it. Idk what I would want in a Outdoor Refreash but this kit wouldn't be it.
true!! we got the spa day refresh and the sims team is acting like they don’t even know what pack refreshes are so..! we’ve got kit after kit after kit.
same!! its so painful to have that beautiful lake and not be able to swim in it 😪
@@Zaralove1750 This kit should have been split between Outdoor Retreat, Movie Hangout and the kid and backyard packs.
If this was in Outdoor Retreat, we wouldn’t get this many items and they would do less in terms of a refresh. I prefer swimmable water and better gameplay for that pack, Outdoor Retreat isn’t about kid sleepovers so I’m fine with this being a kit.

Exactly, it’s just recolours/objects we already have
@@itsalexamsp yes! like yeah it’s cute but they can do better, give us more stuff for kids not just stuff with no gameplay and recolours
@@sophiejah yeah, recolors are not worth my money. I can understand why people like them, I just don't find them valuable. The tent thing is cool, but not cool enough for $5. I wish they would release a base game version of it since it looks like a bunkbed-like system
@@danitho yeah or add some type of gameplay like “share secrets” with friends in the tent, kinda like the activity tent yk?
This is exactly why I'm not buying this kit I refuse to spend 5 dollars for the 83rd variation of the same freaking thing. It's actually infuriating at this point.
I wish the one kit came with the ability to have sleepovers! A kids sleepover outside would be so cute.
that is why i will always prefer sims 3 over this hot mess of a game. generations allowed child sims to have sleepovers
One of the many frustrating things about Kits is they are only ever build/buy *or* cas *or* gameplay, never a mixture. If this was a stuff pack they could have sleepovers. They could have made the blanket fort a gameplay object that your sims can build, like they decorate the christmas tree. But that's not allowed in a kit, it can only be items and no new gameplay, only gameplay that was already made for previous packs.
I have wanted this for such a long time. I wish they would just patreon a small group of developers to create this. I would help make it happen no matter how long it took.
Yes, I miss that so much, loved how all the kids just pulled up their sleepbags over the place, such a good time.
it’s cute but i would prefer kid gameplay outside the dollhouse, blarffy, and drawing table recolors
Me too! I wish kids had more jungle gym items. I got the toddler pack today and they have some cool park-esque items. I wish there was more for kids
SAME!!! it's so boring not having Any other kid toys and gameplay I'm starving as a family gameplay person
Right? How about a slide or hopscotch or something? That would require new animations, tho.
I wish they'd take the bear and doll animations from Sims 3 and put them in Sims 4 not every child should have a huge stuffed animal in their home.
CAN WE GET A SLIDE PLEASE just a normal slide for a normal family backyard (not a jungle gym) or like jump ropes or kids chalk like plz gameplay anything
My only complaint with the little campers kit is that I wish the blanket fort (and maybe the projector) had to be built. Like literally, they could’ve just made it a basket of blankets/w all the different swatches and recycled the animation from Christmas tree decorating and/or school projects and it would’ve been so cute
it would have been cool if it was like the Christmas tree from seasons where you can buy one pre decorated or a bare one where your sims add the decorations. like if you could buy the fully put together fort but also a fort making kit or box type thing it would have been so cute.
Yeah I was hoping for that to
This sound really fun, smart and creative. This is why The Sims 4 devs could never do that.
@@Delanore-Roosevelt Seriously- they have the play tents from Dream Home Decorator which already had appropriate interactions for a fort. Just combine that and the school project and make a real activity
The little campers kit is absolutely adorable and I love the amount of thought and care that clearly went into designing the items and all the little details- BUT you’re right the fort at least should’ve absolutely been gameplay to build it! The actual BUILDING part of a fort when you’re a kid is half the fun!
As they seem reluctant to add actual new gameplay into kits maybe little campers should’ve even been a game pack? I think the idea is so cute and inspired and could easily be expanded into a full pack! Would’ve been perfect as a summer release too.
since i don't have outdoor retreat, movie hangout or kid's stuff, this kit is perfect for me 😭❤️
Same hereeee
Kids room has some of the nicest items
Same
It’s giving Bohemian hippie living in the middle of nowhere with 4 dogs kinda vibe 😂
Same
Can't believe I'm saying this but as much as I love this kit, I wish they'd release another stuff pack instead.
ur not alone bestie
Same bro. They were just getting the hang of stuff packs with paranormal and tiny living too :(
This
@@talia0310 Yeah :( The last few stuff packs were so good. We really thought we’d get more like that, huh? Turns out paranormal was just the stuff packs last hooray before they curled up and died
@@talia0310 the value from gameplay alone in paranormal vs two kits costing the same price.. it's just not in the same ballpark honestly
I just made a date setting for my teen sims even though it’s targeted for kid sims the items have a romantic ambience (in my opinion) it’s super cute. 🥰
Such a cute idea!
this is such a cute idea!!
Omg that's actually adorable!
@@VRoberts1117 any deaths yet? I know legacy challenges can be roller coasters
What
"We needed more stuff for kids to do!" but we didn't get more stuff for kids to do. We got ANOTHER activity table that just looks different from the others. We got another doll house, another swing set, another Blarfy. Yes, they're beautiful, but there's nothing new here. That's just...disappointing. The only thing I saw there that might be interesting, is that tent thing might be useful in rags to riches stories or homeless stories, if it counts as shelter. With the top having an opening like that, I doubt it will count, though.
They're just reskins of existing items :/
@@Stettafire because it’s a build kit, not a gameplay one. Stuff packs are the ones that have build+cas+new gameplay
I agree, the kit is very much reskinning. But the tent is a deal breaker for me. I’m doing a 100 baby challenge in a tiny home(64 tiles). It only has 1 bath, 2 bedrooms (the main with a twin bed, a desk and computer, plus a closet connecting to the wall/outside for woohoo). Tents will make the gameplay more fluid, and maybe I can even get a tiny bath with the extra space!
Yeah I find it interesting that usually if there was another activity table everyone would complain “we don’t need another activity table we have so many” and now when it’s in a kit it’s like it’s the cutest thing ever 🤔
@@annaluizaferrugini7200 as someone who has started this same challenge multiple times I have a tip for saving space, you can just have your sim try for a baby in the shower, so you don’t actually need the double bed or closet.
I really like the items, but I think it should have come with an outdoor retreat refresh.
Same!!
bars
like the objects look like something taken out of the movie hangout stuff pack............ a projector and a couple of outdoor chairs
Fair but then less people would be able to afford it
I don't really think it matches with outdoor retreat tbh but maybe movie hangout bc at least that makes more sense
Something about the creator codes rubs me the wrong way. I’m worried that giving reviewers a financial reward for a pack doing well sales-wise is a HUGE conflict of interest. Even if reviewers do their best to stay objective (though I would argue that not letting this interfere at all with a review- even subconsciously- is impossible), it creates an image amongst simmers that purchasing these packs isn’t just a financial transaction with a large corporation which has been consistently producing mediocre products, but is in fact a way to support their favorite content creators. Having unbiased reviewers who are willing to call out underperforming packs and games is a crucial part of the gaming industry and I think it’s no coincidence that this move on EAs part comes right after the Wedding Pack was (rightfully) slammed by reviewers.
I feel bad because I do love Kayla and have been obsessively watching her content for ages now. My first instinct when I heard about this was ‘well if I’m gonna buy the pack anyway, I might as well send some profit her way!’ But the more I think about the more it just doesn’t sit right with me. If you want to support Kayla I think we’d be better off buying merch or sending her the money through twitch or hell even asking her to open a patreon or something but something about muddying the waters between ad and review feels wrong and like it’ll do more harm than good in the long run.
Yeah, TBH it's a problem with UK creators cus our laws on what consists a "review" is quite strict. So something like this could be quite problematic for them. In the US it's less strict. But in the UK it's a problem for all the above reasons you mentioned
Yeah like I’m the U.K. I think creators would have to have some indication of it being an AD even though it’s not and they are just reviewing the packs, but because they are financially affiliated with it they would have to have to say ADVERT somewhere on screen which may confuse viewers… but I do like the idea of top creators being financially rewarded by EA for bringing people to their products or even just getting people talking about their products.
Definetly agree. I don't mind supporting my favorite creators but I want to support them directly, not through a company that tends to release unplayable/buggy packs to their consumers. Plus, what if bias is formed and EA prefers to work with creators that bring in the most profit or creators start swaying their reviews of packs to get more income. You can look at the beauty community for that, many of the influencers there have switched ideals once the money came in from certain brands. It feels the same kind of shady to me. Idk, personally, I won't be using any code unless if it brings a discount to me too! 😅
I feel like if there wasn’t a code Kayla would have absolutely called out the fact that half this shit we already have in game and they just changed colors and what not. Like we didn’t get more stuff for kids we got the same stuff with new paint.
I reckon EA will start charging extra for all packs to cover the 5% loss so they always get the full amount, just in case someone uses a code and if not EA pockets the extra cash. Yeh I like Kayla but she seems to be pushing this way too much and it makes it feel weird to me. I saw a few of the other creators involved aren't talking about it as much.
The thing I think would be really cute is if the Smores tray was functional and you could set it on a coffee table or something and then your sims could grab one of the fire pokers by the fireplace and your sims could roast marshmallows in the fireplace but only if you set out the Smores tray
Can we even make smores in the game?
@@merchantfan I think in the fire pit with outdoor retreat you can but I cant remember for sure
@@SamNicholson1214 apparently they will sometimes make them if you roast marshmallows? I don't think I've seen it though so I don't know when it actually happens
The kit for kids is a really good one for people who don't have a lot of packs and can't afford the bigger ones and I'm happy about that but I'm SO sick of them giving us the same items with different meshes, they NEED to stop being lazy and give us NEW gameplay, recycling content is such a big issue in The Sims 4.
yeah, i find as a pc player that i could just get the exact stuff they're offering in kits but for free by cc creators. and even then, some cc creators are making new gameplay and animations with their cc, which EA has only done with bust the dust. not that i loved the sheer amount of store content for ts3, but i love the way ts3 had actual functional objects that came as part of the store pack purchases. i feel like this pack could've been so much better if there'd been one or two new gameplay objects included.
exactly and they can't really make excuses because bust the dust added new gameplay so why cant this one have the same?
You are literally paying more money per item. Microtransactions like Kits are scam.
This!!!
I REALLY hope that tent classifies as "sheltered" and the screen is waterproof, they'd be a great edition to my off-the-grid camping only lot.
8 years in the sims 4 and we get yet another activity table... give us something else for the kids !
We need different kid activity’s besides the same drawing table. How about another science table, more instruments for kids, a fake kitchen set that the kids can “cook” on. I do love how the kit looks but I think kids need more stuff
a fake kitchen set would be so cute :( and going on that same path, they could even just have like “starter” versions of some of the skill items. starter workbench, starter kitchen set, starter gardening set, etc.
The clothing kit is okay, I already have cc, but the kids kit is adorable! But I swear if they throw ONE more activity table into a pack I’m gonna scream LMAOO
Addition, bc I just saw the eyes part: If they're actually doing werewolves that's an amazing tease, because in the Sims 2 Pets in order to have a werewolf sim you had to get bitten by a wolf. To attract a wolf to your lotquickly you needed a lot of trees and kids in your household...
I think they're doing creator codes because it was mainly creators that critiqued the wedding kit and im sure a lot of people delayed buying the pack/didn't buy it at all because of it, and EA was worried at seeing how little money they made on launch. This is probably their way of not bribing the creators but incenticizing them to sell kits.
I /hope/ creators will review new kits/packs/games as before; and otherwise long-time viewers will probably notice if creators suddenly don’t seem genuine or never use items they raved about in their actual gameplay. If you start selling garbage, ppl would eventually stop buying.
yeah that's probably it actually. They need to introduce more bias into the creator reviews system. Them giving youtubers early pack access is supposed to make EA more money by getting free promotion for the packs, not reduce sales because the youtubers warned their audience the pack was broken.
im honestly so mad no heels came with the moonlight chic kit!!! especially since the sneakers that we did get are so similar to ones we already have. they're almost identical to the ones in the incheon arrivals kit. enough sneakers!! i want better heels!!!
If it had a slide or something new for kids I would have bought it in a minute. In general, kits are painful taunts I ignore.
ooh a slide would have been great!
I love Kayla. I can watch her around my grandparents and not be worried about her swearing
Kayla: "I'll use this so often" mostly builds base game only blue suburbans
Exactly 🙃
she has run out of inspiration throughout her whole career of sims building all her builds look the same
@@rebekahmcdonnell9439 she limits herself to packs and I have no idea why
I think this would have been better as an outdoor retreat refresh :/ love the items but I think a refresh would have just been more fitting
Can you explain why? I keep seeing people say this and it confuses me, because like Kayla said to me the only thing they have in common is being outside. I can’t imagine going to a camp ground and setting up a tv screen
I think it’s more so affordable for some players who cannot afford outdoor retreat to get some similar items
It’s cute, but it’s also in a kit. Tons of CC out there for this concept, would have loved it to be in an Outdoor Retreat refresh. 🥀
Tiny twavellers by Harrie 👁👄👁
lilsimsie : I'm gonna use this ALL THE TIME
Also lilsimsie : *builds base game houses*
These kits are amazing…I know people don’t like them but this time they did great job and they both so cute and beautiful
Looking through the comments here it seems that people like them. It´s just the idea of Kits in of itself feels wrong.
I was one of those people, but this kit is to die for. It made me think how kits are a good way to add content that expands upon the CAS/BB of old packs they're not going to refresh (like Vampires) because they're too niche. Yeah some people can get CC, but not everyone can or wants to, so kits would be nice there. It's also a nice way to add to the game old survey ideas that aren't enough content to justify a pack.
This kit is very good, but it feels like a stuff pack lol
@@LunaWitcherArt well if it was stuff pack u would have paid at least 10 bucks
@@diaaesc yeah, that's why it's weird. They seem to have put a lot of work on this, everything very detailed and all. I'm used to kits being a cash grab and this is the only one so far that does not feel like one, so something feels wrong lol
Fun detail you might miss in the kit, if you play dont wake the lama on the new game table instead of the lama theres a yeti
They just dropped a new scenario yesterday called Best Friends Forever, which has your child make one Best Friend, and several other good friends and continue those friendships on into their teen years. I think the Happy Campers Kit is going to be a HUGE help in doing that one. I'll bet they put out that scenario, just to make the Happy Camper Kit more attractive to get right now.
Is it just me, or is a "towel and umbrella fort" the most Florida thing you've ever said? I love it. We always used sheets, dining chairs and sofa pillows.
This build kit could be so good for story telling. A runaway teen/kid/mom with a young child trying to get by is way more likely to build a blanket fort for shelter than suddenly being able to build a house. Putting together toys themselves because they can’t easily go shopping/afford to shop. It’s so fun to think about!
The moonlight chic kit makes me want to make a bougie lesbian couple so that will be fun!
I must be a child because I wanted to like this comment but couldn't cause it has 69 likes 😂..... I'm a whole adult I promise 😂😂😂😂

@@hollynicole4533 lol
When you said EA is doing a test with just the Sims, I thought well they've been "testing" with the Sims for years....testing how far they can take it and sell each tiny thing separately.
Yes this. Like why are werewolves seperate pack to vampires? Also they barely fix any bugs ever with many of the packs. The vampire aspiration is still broken. They released mermaids without a transformation animation. It just screams unrealistic deadlines and poor management on the part of EA.
Yep. They know a lot of players are going to buy every little thing they put out for Sims 4, so they know they can get away with it. Then those same people that buy everything on release day (even if it's something they weren't even excited for) have the nerve to also complain about all the packs lol. Like, you're the ones blindly buying everything and sending the message that EA can put as little effort into things as they want.
I feel like the blanket fort would be really cute with one of the selling tables from other packs for like a little craft show/farmer's market vibe
i'm glad they're finally making the kits a little more worth while... i still don't like the idea of them but at least the little campers one got me sold immediately!
Simsie talking about how much she loves this kit: ☺️☺️☺️
Her sim in the background: 🤢🤢🤢
Parisian fashion and the first line said “paired with sneakers” lol. French have always pointed and laughed at Americans thinking sneakers are fashionable
That's what I thought too. A Parisian nightlife kit and the only pair of shoes is sneakers is super off.
I know they went with a real Parisian designer (or influencer? idk) for this one, but the vibes are still America all over the place lol
I was really hoping for a fort building skill, even a hidden one, something kids can do with eachother or with parents or older siblings
I grew up in a complex with about 50 kids almost all of us had single parent homes. When we were little, we would either bring a tv and console onto the porch or we would all throw whatever we could get together and make a multi room mansion fort (it was seriously huge!) and bring a tv in there and watch a movie or spend the night, probably about 20 kids in all. This was back in the early 2000s we didn't do it as much once we got older but it was always unsupervised outside of the older kids looking after everyone. We also played school or house or whatever and we used the entire complex so like our front porch (a slab of concrete and the same as the back patio) would be our "houses" and we would "ride the bus" (a kid or two would pull a wagon around with kids in it) and the playground was our "school" we had way too much fun. Science "class" included some very dangerous but happy memories.
Your enthusiasm, renews my game play ideas. That's do random but I love your videos!
The sims community gotta be the hardest crowd to please. 😅
I love the sims, and I love to play legacy with different generations and I will definitely buy this kit.
Mods and CC changed everything for me in game play, and I can't live without MCC, Relationship and Pregnancy overhaul, Lumpinou Mood Pack and Wonderful whims. And also TSR CC.
imagine making a little park for kids' birthdays or just to hang out with their friends
I just found your channel and I’m happy I did! I love how positive and happy you are about the Sims 4! I’m so tired of people just complaining about everything
Ikr? It's like, if all you want to do is complain about the game, then why do you play? I get youtube is some people's job, but like if you hate the Sims that much then why make yourself miserable by having a channel dedicated to it?
I was really hoping that the blanket Fort would work like the play tent from dream home decorator cos it would be fun to have more options for that.
As a Parisian, “Parisian style” is highly inaccurate. It’s more like the “fashion students” tiktok trend. That said, new clothes are always great ! also LOVE the second pack
Seeing that glittery turtleneck shirt from the new kit in the grey swatch and immediately considering doing humanizations of various Disney parks attractions, using that shirt specifically on the Epcot ball character
I was thinking the glittery skirt could be good for an Ariel outfit
@@maplepainttube8158 yeah like the texture could work for a fish scale pattern
@@v.v365 exactly!
The fact that the TV item actually has a very special functionality is fucking cute and i’ll DIE for this kit. Like i’m really happy with it even if there are a lot of recolors, they’re REALLY high quality recolors and i honestly din’t mind because they don’t FEEL cheap
9:33 - I bet some kind of sims creator will use kitchen counters to make a nicer frame for this bed
the little campers kit is literally perfection omg I'm in love!! 11/10 marshmallows
I still hope they'll bring back stuff packs again soon because they could make such good ones now, like paranormal and tiny living :')
this is nice but i really just want functional gameplay that doesn't empty my bank acocunt
they really go hard with some of these kits that plant one and lil campers are my favorite thing every and i use them in EVERY. SINGLE. BUILD
This kit is probably the best one yet!
For me bust the dust is the best one. For building stuff, this one and the plants one are amazing
@@theminegirl3775 how can you even like bust the dust?!?!?! its so glitchy 😭
And not a single thing is actually new! It’s all just stuff we already have with a new look
@@princessofjedi super fair criticism!!! i basically only build so i love it but gameplay wise its kinda lacking :((
I think so too!
I cannot express how thankful I am to lilsimsie. My native language is spanish and your videos helped me a lot to improve my english and to add vocabulary. thanks you a lot!! 😊
I really wish they would’ve stretched out that CAS Kit to be more of a Dating Pack that came with online dating and a mini little ‘downtown’ world with 4 or 5 community lots to visit (parks, bars, arcades, lounges etc)
Can you please make a family home with a tree house/cubby house out the back because I would love to see that, I feel like having a treehouse or cubby is every child's dream!!!
I really wish the kits had been combined into a stuff pack with a few more things and the smore item could become functional and be the game play aspect of it
05:34 one of my current fave fashion trens is these style shorts with matching blazers. I can't pull them off but I love the way people style these types of shorts
I love how Kayla went from "Ooohh the pig one!" to "NOT PEPPA!!" in just 1 second, it was hilarious
Kits are growing on me. Even just a kit here and there that has a few nice build items, a few nice Cas, maybe another career! Really love this camping kit. Really digging the modern campfire pit! I'm actually excited to play with kids in my game cause I absolutely do not like playing with kids. They just don't have enough kid stuff to do in the game
This creator codes thing just doesn't sit right and I feel Kayla is pushing it too hard for it to make me feel better about it. I really think that if it continues EA will up DLC prices by at least 5% so they are still always getting their full money from packs. Then that extra 5% will be there to go to the creator if a code is used, if not EA will pocket the extra cash. I really think this idea is going to end up costing the consumer more.
Oh I know right! Actually it’s so cunning! They’re literally buying influencers’ opinions with gamers’ money! Very clever, huh? Like what the hell? I feel like I won’t be able to trust any of the opinions on the new sims stuff anymore because it feels like everyone will be pushing the audience to buy it and use their creators codes to earn an extra $ or two. The creators should be paid, and they do a lot for the community, but the way EA has set this up is just awful
yea and she's trying to justify it by saying other games do it too. usually the consumer would get a discount though. and sims 4 releases packs that don't work and shouldn't be compared to other games.
Yup, and suddenly there's massive hype for the new kits, it doesn't sit right with me at all.
I comes across as incredibly greedy
Agreed ! The last video where she mentions it the comments were almost overwhelmingly against creator codes and I really hoped maybe she'd see the comments and really READ them and realize why people aren't keen on these codes but apparently not 😵💫
I kinda wish they'd just updated outdoor retreat and added this stuff. Like spa day.
They've really been improving kits recently, I'm very happy about that
You could do a romantic date setting with the string lights. Put a bunch of trees and have it look like they’re strung around them. And put a table for two. So cute.
Am I the only one who wished we had more games options? We have like 3 video game options on the console and 2 “board” games. I want game options that are parodies of real life games. I want UNO, Monopoly, Call of Duty, Minecraft, etc! (Of course they’d have to be named something else that’s why I said they would be parodies)
yes and sims with the hot headed trait actually lose relationship points with ppl if they lose at monopoly. but we know the sims team would never think like that
Idk if this will function but with the kids camping bed maybe like put it against a wall and put the half size kitchen cabinets beneath it to make like an ikea kinda style bed with storage?
The kits cost so much. I live in Canada and with the exchange rates its just over 7 dollars per kit.
I have 4 kids IRL and re-create them in game, so $8 AUD for this is amazing, Thanks Kayla
Final thoughts:
The cas kit...I won't buy it because cc exists. Unless they prove their greed and block cc, I'll never get a cas kit
The build kit...very cute swatches i love it and might buy it but i wish instead of drawing table or ANOTHER doll house, I would've preferred more outside stuff like slides or a see saw or a skateboarding ramp with skateboarding introduced
A skateboard or scooter would have been so cool
it’s so nice experiencing people feeling joy. this video was a delight to watch 🥰
That's it, my friends. The day has come for me to buy a CAS kit! It's really good, I'm impressed!!!
Okay but the movie screen and cot for tags to riches. Even the blanket fort. Your homeless sims could use those so much. Omg I need this.
The little campers kit is officially the first kit I have bought. Even though there is no new gameplay, all the items are so cute
I agree! I'm still squealing over some of the swatches!
Did EA pay you to say that?

Recently, Lego released a set as a gift with purchase at Lego stores called “cosmic cardboard adventures” and this kit reminds me of that Set, which is a Lego recreation of a cardboard rocket ship. Love both the set and this kit so much, because it just takes me back to the days when I had an imagination that could take a straw wrapper and a paper clip and entertain myself by making up a story about “illegal muffin smugglers” well waiting for the begging of a play they took us to for an elementary school field trip, and I said the word “muffin” so many times that it became meaningless to me and the girl sitting next to me for a good few months. True story
I wonder if we might be getting some kind of Bigfoot type creature with the werewolf pack (or instead of) because that $1 toy really makes me wonder.
It'd be funny if they released a werewolf pack and it was bigfoot instead. They had them in Sims 2, so there's precedent in the series.
All the space themed stuff is PERFECT for the yellow generation of not so berry because they love space! I can’t wait to use this!!
The kids kit has a Rosie's bedroom vibes from "It takes two"
this is the one and only kit (thus far) that I'm buying. the little camper's kit genuinely adds unique items that I can't find anywhere else.
You can always size down cabinets to make a regular bed
that's what I was thinking. kayla is a builder so idk why that wasn't her first thought. people make custom headboards all the time
Simsie saying she made forts out of umbrellas and towels as a kid is the most Florida childhood thing ever, i love it
i love the activity table it might be my favorite one we have but i really dont think we needed another activity table
They knocked it out of the park with this one, quite frankly. I really hope to see more cutesy kids stuff in the future. Toddler Sims and child sims are my favorite to play with.
As cute as the camping kit is it really overlaps too much with outdoor retreat and the movie pack
They def feel like extras they had in a folder tucked away
I feel like maybe with movie hangout but disagree with outdoor retreat. I agree with Kayla in her opinion, this is just backyard summer fun to me, outdoor retreat is camping so things like fishing and nature things, maybe it’s just me but setting up a tv screen in the great outdoors doesn’t mix
@@greenbeantm1096 some of the items look like refreshed outdoor retreat items and have the same functionality
I like this kit because it has stuff from both of those packs so people don't have spend 30 dollars for them.
@@Hivdghn yes because this is a build pack… every counter we get is a refresh of base game, every toilet, every literally anything that is in the base game. From what I can tell the only refreshed things are the folding furniture, which could have come in other packs, and the fight pit, which could have come in either romantic garden or perfect patio. And the only game play thing (that I’m aware of) is roasting marshmallows, which like Kayla said I’m pretty sure isn’t the selling point of outdoor retreat.
It would be really cute if the kit had these items like a "build kit" such as an item with piles of blankets and sheets with a stool. The kids could put it together themselves and that would build skills and relationships and then they could use them once they're built.
these are both so pretty! i really think kits have improved in quality
As far as those cute little cot beds in the BB kit, you could layer it into a different bed frame just to use the swatch, and I bet it would fit perfectly. Plus, it'd hide the lil legs too.
A little kit for kids is so cute! I don't pay with kids much in the Sims, but it's good for legacy stuff :D
Seeing how excited you seem over this kids stuff: I have a game to recommand! It Takes Two has lots of cute kidstoys type scenery. You could play it with Dan! (Let me know if shes already played it, i am not sure)
The kids pack is basically "TAKE MY MONEY!" cute :)
I just got this kit and im already in love. The hanging lights are my favorite thing ever. Im obsessed with the swatches for the beds and the tent. 10/10 for me
I haven´t bought anything for TS4 since 2019. I am getting sick of kits and broken, buggy Packs.
I really hope that Paralives will become a huge competitor. EA needs competition, they began to slack content wise since the beginning of TS4. There is less and less stuff in the packs, the game is full of bugs. Don´t get me wrong - I know TS3 wasn´t perfect. It was buggy as hell if you had everything installed but you could do so much.
TS3 in a simple style like TS4 with some features of TS4 would have been perfect. Wait - I think I just described what Paralives promises to be. Here is hoping!
Edit: Grammar
All i ask for is bug and glitch fixes, but apparently that's friking too much to ask for. It would be nice to get things like build a world, more body types, things of that nature, but fixing the buggy broken game would be a main thing to be at the top of the priorities list but i guess even that's a bit much to start with.
even though i don’t really like the concept of kits, but those two kits are really good. i use incheon arrivals all the time and i see myself using moonlight chic on every sim too. little campers kit is sooo cute, i also will use it a lot once i buy it
I miss sleepovers from sims3! I wish they would bring it back!
these will be my new exclusive doll house and activity table. I don't care what style of house or what type of family, they get this stuff exclusively. I'm in love.
creator codes with sims is just bribing simfluencers. ea doesn't want simfluencers to go against them like it was with skin tones issues. If simfluencers weren't so happy with fueling EAs greed and went against them again, we could get fixes for all those annoying bugs and issues Sims4 is having for part YEARS.
facts, i feel like ea doesn't get enough criticism from bigger simmers :/
I’m in complete agreement! I love Kayla but the codes definitely feel like a bribe.
remember when kayla said she wanted to name her cow plants and they did it for her so fast. only after that did she mention skintones that simmers of color have been complaining about for years.
@@Simmerdownidc Yeah, big simfluencers like Kayla really have the power, but they don't realize that sadly. Or they don't want to. And now bribing comes into the picture. I'm, losing any hope for better sims4 :c
hear me out... imagine a board game pack :0 ive been playing the stardew valley board game so much recently and i work at a game shop so board games are a big part of my life. IMAGINE how cute it would be to have a family game night!
Sounds like it would pair well with Get Together clubs and Get to Work too (running a shop).
I feel like Kayla would of been more harsh in her comments about these kits (based on her previous reviews) if it wasn't for the damn Creators Code.
The kids stuff just seems to be another colour swatch of existing items. No new playable interactions. It's like Spa Day all over again except that was a pack update, even then Kayla expressed her thoughts honestly and yet in this video her judgement seems to be biased already and I believe its because it's the Creator Code. I freaking pray that it doesn't become a regular thing!!!!!
Watch her complain about them non stop, because they're too big, they don't have neutral swatches or they don't match with anything else in game, as soon as the next dlc gets released. 🙃
I love this kit so much, I've downloaded it and I'm using it already as I have a family with twin girls who have recently become children so this is perfect for me. I would definitely recommend this kit and even though it isn't a gameplay kit per say, I think it's added a different aspect to gameplay for me.
