You know what would have been more useful? If the cake stand prevented anyone from taking a piece of cake if the cake was on display, THAT actually would have been useful. I would have much rather had Sims not be able to eat the cake while it's on the stand and still be able to place birthday candles and blow them out then the reverse *face palm *
Wow, yep! That would've been amazing! Ugh, this further proves to me that they don't properly playtest these things, because any simmer who actually plays this would've brought this up XD
YESSSS this was my exact thought process. Something tells me they did want Sims to have the ability to age up using this feature but ran out of time. I hope they update it in a future patch.
I really am so done with clutter that does nothing. This is a game, I want my objects to DO something or its kinda just there. I still am waiting for someone to add a click to store function to upper cabinets in the kitchen.
I was genuinely surprised the fog machine worked 😅 then to make the dance floor another fog machine but not make the food stuff work properly 😂😂 there goes the surprise smh
I just am done with DLC overload. I like quite a few things in Ebonix kit, but I just don’t care enough about CAS in general to buy it. My sims have enough clothes. It already takes to long to dress them. And nothing in the Party lit is a must have. Right now I just don’t wanna add anything. My gameplay is working well enough and I don’t trust updating or adding packs.
For real, I copped that Ebonix kit 'cause, like, as a fellow black Simmer, I'm all about supporting my peeps. Was the CAS lit? Nah, not really, but hear me out - when's the next time we gonna see Black Simmers teaming up with EA for some official gear? There were some dope pieces in there though, gotta admit. But if I were in charge, I'd spice it up with more options 'cause some of it felt like recycled stuff from DLCs I already own.
Oof the party kit looks kinda sad.. I liked the led tv and the led string lights but they really don't match with the rest of the kit. It's just sad balloons and streamers, feels honestly very 2014 Sims

Shout out to Ebonix for doing such a good job on the kit! Feeling kinda conflicted, as I'd love to get those outfits, but I don't want to support EA in any form.
im surprised with the bb kit that you didnt mention the one thing that i initially thought of when i saw it. i thought that a bunch of the items in that pack could be used to further customize high school proms and make some really cute ones.
You can't put the led lights to the rim of the ceiling because in live mode from the eye level of a sim the ceiling covers the top of them. This happens if you push kitchen cabinets to top also, it will be cutoff from view if you push them to the tip top of the ceiling.
I’ve noticed that ever since I downloaded these kits, my Sims won’t clean up. They just pick up trash, then put it on the floor. They do the same with dishes. They didn’t do that before the kits.
@@Zandalorscat Can y'all report those on the official EA Bug Reports forum? This is one of those super-basic sim functions which makes it a pretty big deal, but if people don't report it, it'll never get fixed.
OMG I didn't know until I watched this video that Maxis added an underwear category. Finally, I can change the underwear under my sim's clothes?! Thank you for showcasing this. Now I have to go use it, immediately, lol.
ngl the lag spikes have been UNREAL for me since the update. i had them before but it’s baaaaad at the minute. i don’t really have a lot of mods so i’m safe on that side
Cake stand doesn't work and the dance floor requires one of the expansion packs to function...I wish they would spend more time fixing the game vs. whatever this is.
dance floor doesnt work like usual if you have just base game. that kinda irritates me. its basically one useless item for people that dont have get together or horse ranch/whatever packs come with dance floors and group dancing.

A decent gaming computer costs a lot more than a console. You can play TS4 on a pretty old computer but if you’re into any other gaming as well and can’t spend thousands on a computer that plays AAA titles, a console has got you. If you’re used to console gaming, it’s comfy to lounge with your controller and a game on your big screen tv, with your snacks and drinks on a nice end table by the couch instead of threatening your keyboard. Those are the arguments, but ts4 for console is a scam that takes advantage of people rather than serving them, so then the answer to your question changes to sunk cost.
I don't get ehy people want an underwear category. Even on ts2, it seems odd. Some good clothes for the males. The party kit Is interesting. I think I'll get both. The cake stand being just to display the cake, oof. Question is did they try to program sll the interactions?
@@leontineketting97Okay, you could be right. But there is a Rainbow Flag that means a lot to people and you can use looads of other rainbow Colored items that are not Flag related. In this case she meent the Rainbow Flag imo. Not Rainbow sprinkles or Rainbow colors in general imo.

Definitely the cake stand and the drink station not being functional are the biggest disappointment for me

Somebody will make a CC version that works
I wish you could just pull a glass of a beverage out like with the fridge. I don’t even care if they pour it/dispense it
Yes! Such a missed opportunity on that non-functional cake stand...
OF COURSE the cake stand is useless! 😂 Kits are so not worth it.

I want lots and worlds, and interesting NPC stories. That’s what I want. I don’t need more clothes right now. Or overpriced items.
@@asmrtpop2676 Nah, I'm good. I don't feel like purchasing any more empty worlds that are just there for aesthetics and lack any interesting gameplay.
The homage kit basic and not good
@@RethoryI like being able to have a lot of families in one world interacting and as it is there’s like…. four or five lots. 🤨

i honestly hate the way the tops bulge around the sides of the stomach the feminine assets fit so strangely

If you toggle off masculine and feminine tags can you put the masculine jersey on the woman?
Thank you so much. You always go into so much detail in your reviews. I get enough information on whether I like it or not
Seems like this is stuff that would have made Proms better in HSY and yet here it is as additional paid DLC. Boo....

Is it just me or this CAS kit looks super detailed?!? I love it
I’ve noticed that ever since I downloaded these kits, my Sims won’t clean up. They just pick up trash, then put it on the floor. They do the same with dishes. They didn’t do that before the kits.

I’ve had that happen a few times, not kit related. Just a bug. I either delete and replace every trashcan OR restart the game and one or usually work.
@@TheDawnofVanlife I’ll try that & see if it works. Edit: I’ve tried both of those things and they didn’t work.
Feeling seen as I too am scared of balloons
So, both luxury party and party essentials are useless. Noted
The skirt & bodysuit combo is giving snag-tights chub rub vibes
Kits do NOT give enough stuff to do MULTIPLE eras. What were they thinking. 🥴
OMG I didn't know until I watched this video that Maxis added an underwear category. Finally, I can change the underwear under my sim's clothes?! Thank you for showcasing this. Now I have to go use it, immediately, lol.
No, you can either wear clothes or underwear, but not both. In this case, she removed pants, so she can change the underwear.
Not under, no. But you can choose to make their sleep outfit underwear, I guess?
this is why i have default replacements!
@@Lila-ie1eo Well that is disappointing. I figured this out when I went into my game and couldn't figure it out. I wish they would update that.
How y'all game looking after the update?....im scared asf to update and buy the UH kit coz EA really dont like us😭
ngl the lag spikes have been UNREAL for me since the update. i had them before but it’s baaaaad at the minute. i don’t really have a lot of mods so i’m safe on that side
So give it a few weeks then? Got it 🥹
Not noticed any new issues after the patch but my game was messed up anyway 😂
@@ShanekayDennisand then they will patch it again and their fixes will unravel and new things will break
Honestly going to wait a bit before I buy these!
I kind of like the jersey with the shorts, but I will probably change my mind when I go to play it.
I didn't want to buy these kits, but thanks to your review I don't want them even for free 😂 😂😂
What I've learned is that buying kits is a waste. Wait for them to be given away for free. I'm tired of wasting money on this game.
Really a bit more like "Party Optionals," isn't it? Great one to be free in the future. Not much to miss there.
Cake stand doesn't work and the dance floor requires one of the expansion packs to function...I wish they would spend more time fixing the game vs. whatever this is.
you can dance without any other packs. you just can’t learn the dance skill. it works the same ass all the other dance floors we’ve ever got
