The fact that there are $155 worth of kits 😵 And they never go on sale! I know a few have been free but still... Oof I recalculated with tax based on a comment $165.85 USD
It’s the lack of ever going on sale that annoys me most. I’ve literally never bought one for this reason when there’s a few I probably would’ve picked up in a sale 😒
high school years has some cute boho items!!!! there is a cute boho esque double and single bed, some lights under some fabric, a curtain that is cute and boho, cute wicker egg chair that matches the bed, another little chair that matches, and a little wicker basket (I can't remember if it is decor or a trashcan lol). I just wanted to let you know just in case you didn't know about it. I want more options for this though too I love the cozy warm look in the sims!
Something I think Kayla’s forgetting is that people who prefer CAS are more likely to download lots off the gallery and the ones that look the best imo are the ones that are all cluttered and cute!
This is a great point! I use the gallery a lot if I'm feeling lazy- both for sims & lots. It might be useful to see the ranking of most purchased kits in that case.
It’s really niche, but I want a musical kit. Something with instruments, maybe a musical trait or something. I love using the violin, piano and guitar but I would DIE for some instruments like a cello, a sax UGHHH
I've always wanted the same thing lol. I doubt we'd get it out of a kit tho... Probably a game pack. But a game pack could do bands as well which could be fun 🤔
If they did a kit in this theme, it would probably just be reskins of the existing instruments... Which is almost tempting, but I'd love more instruments overall :)
A saxophone would be SUCH a good edition, especially with the vibes of the previous bistro kit. My want for more 1920s vaudeville eque stuff rises everyday (it’s too specific and old timely, I’m not crossing my fingers lmao)
I forget if it was 2 or 3 where you could be in a band and everyone would play a different instrument. So a music stuff pack or game pack would be great.
I love Kayla deciding that some kits aren't easy to use in her day-to-day gameplay because her gameplay is Pure Chaos, no question asked. And like. For anything to be hard to use for her it's gotta be so out of the box it's in space
i wish they’d make a kit that was just little stains and spills decals-a puddle carpet and coffee ring clutter pieces etc. i like making gross builds of abandoned buildings and old houses so i’d use it all the time but i think it would also serve the same kind of purpose of clutter kits by letting players make their builds seem more lived in. they’d never make it ofc and there are decals in other packs that serve the same purpose but a guy can dream.
The other thing with the greenhouse kit is that the doors and windows come with a mesh version so you can do a proper screened in porch. I'm thinking of building The Family Guy house and use the greenhouse kit for the screened in area.
Not for a kit, but the most necessary thing we need is dimples. There are lots of skin details that are represented that are much less common than dimples. It's actually pretty sad that something so simple doesn't exist.
The base game has dimples! In CAS, click on the Sim’s cheek to see all the cheek presets. It’s the left column, 8th up from the bottom. There are also chin dimples when you click on the chin.
Industrial Loft, Decor to the Max, and Courtyard Oasis are 3 of my most used kits! I guess I am a maximalist at heart lol. Incheon Arrivals is the only CAS kit I have and I have no regrets. I do think I will get Urban Homage eventually too.
1 that sweater is adorable 2 i've actually been loving the cozy bistro kit for homes, especially the lace short curtain which has been great for kitchens. there's also this really cute gay vintage style painting in that kit i'm obsessed with
I want an electronics kit. Like individual monitors for a tower pc (could be varied like the extra long curved monitor and vertical monitor), more game systems, vcrs, dvd players, and clutter like tangled dead earphones, old cd stack, vcr memory box, forgotteb cable box. Call it “its electric”
Long story short- I no longer have access to my mom’s EA account we have been sharing (off the record lol) for YEARS and years. We as a team had every.single.expansion in the game. I had to make my own account and start over everything from scratch. The packs I chose first even surprised me a little but I don’t regret my choices it is the following: -seasons (duh lol) -cats and dogs (duh lol) -discover university (for storyline) -wedding stories (for storyline and beach gameplay at once) -my dream decorator -bathroom clutter -everyday clutter -blooming plants kit -fancy luxe decor kit -toddlers clothing kit -parenthood (for gameplay) -goth revival kit (such good casual/comfy tops) -decor to the max kit -laundry day (for realism) My next packs in my list are: -busy the dust -the new loves truck one coming out this month -high school years -get to work 🤍😊 (For context I’m the summer who loves building, CAS, as well as gameplay I enjoy every aspect and yes it does take me FOREVER to set everything up 😂😂)
honestly preppy clothing kit would be fun and maybe another kitchen set kit, i find hard to use most of the kitchen set and its the room i struggle most with even tho kitchens are like my favorite thing to decorate so another kitchen set kit would be useful
My Top 3 Kits: •Book Nook •Both clutter kits (they should’ve been in one kit, let’s be honest) •Incheon Arrivals (it’s the best CAS kit to me) My Least Used (of the ones I own) •Party Essentials •Modern Menswear •Courtyard Oasis
if i could make my own kit it would be all cosmetic. I want modern hair, makeup, and nail polish!! there’s not enough middle parts in the sims that look good. i swear i use the outdoor retreat hair every time i make a sim.
I think a lot of these Kits are leftovers from packs. Like, the Country Kitchen Kit was made for the Country Living Pack, and they had to chose which Kitchen goes into the Game. So they released the unused as a Kit to get some coins that way. And I do not mind that. But some Kits are so random and not even niche. Like the Airport Fashion one. Its regular Fashion. Nothing Special. I think they should other stuff with kits. Or at least also. Like with the Goth Fashions. Goth is mire than just black Leather and ripped Fishnet Tights. If they do Kits with Asian Fashions, than give us the crazy stuff like Harajuku Style or Lolita or Emo. Even Time Periode Fashion Kits would be nice like a 50s Fashion, 70s Fashion and so on. And the same goes for Build/Buy Kits.
I would like a kit with Scandinavian fashion, a kit that focus on rooms with slanted walls (which are all over Europe). Or hear me out: Catio kit! A kit for making life fun for cats, like climbing ropes going down from the ceiling and wall mounted scratchers with a cosy sleeping spot. Or a kit with an animal behaviour specialist, or a groomer kit!❤ oh my, I keep going😂
That Castle Kit is a must have for me since I can now create cathedrals and churches in the sims for the wedding venue! I’ve been trying to make an old Philippine themed community and I need that kit haha
Incheon Arrivals is a must have for clothes for me and Blooming Rooms is a must have for building for me lol! I really want an accessory based kit or a hair kit!
There are clean versions of the door and window from the industrial kit! There’s two black and two white swatches, one of each looking antique and one “clean” 😊
i’d personally love a kitchen clutter kit or a toddler room kit (more toys, wall decor) but my unrealistic dream is a wallpaper kit. not the category wallpaper, but actual wallpaper with skirting boards and a pattern. also i agree with some other people that more subculture fashion kits would be cool! oo or maybe a hair kit with a modern hairdresser theme
Courtyard Oasis is in use often or even must have for me just because of the tiles and the wall. I use that so often, the colors are great and it looks good both indoors and outdoors. Little campers is also in use often for me, because I use that card table / normal table version + the matching chairs all the time in the gardens. Desert Luxe is a must have for me because of the curtains; the rest of the furniture is also great. All the clutter kits are also up there for me (bathroom, everyday, the old basement stuff and the booknook and plant kits I also count to this). Honestly, I think all the build kits have cool stuff and I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't hate kits in general, I think they serve different niches and do that well enough. If that niche isn't something that you miss in your game (like you never build pools, or you prefer to build modern houses over rustic houses, or you never play with kids anyways), than it's easy to say no to a kit and just not buy it.
I put a lot more time and effort into my builds than I spend in CAS, so I have been prioritizing getting build stuff over CAS stuff. However I'd like to see a tattoo kit. I've been wanting to give my sim's tattoos lately but there's not many options and I get bored using the same few over and over. If they came out with a tattoo stuff pack I'd snatch it up right away rather than tag it on the end of my "eventually get" list.
I have a few kits that were free (desert lux, blooming rooms) and I like them but wouldn't have bought them. I bought decor to the max because it's so different from other stuff in the game. I love it but I don't use it that often. I also bought the grunge kit and I love it for teen and I use the baggy t-shirt in plain swatches on almost all my male sims. My most recent buy is moonlight chic and I'm obsessed with it. I don't agree that it's interchangeable with the CAS from HSY, it's much more mature and I love the style. The build kits kind of feel too small to be of use sometimes. I'd rather see them make kits with complete matching furniture sets OR matching windows/doors in separate kits, instead of doing a few furniture items and two windows in the same kit.
I want a playground kit and arcade kit so badly. The playground one could have things like a merry-go-round, sand box, those old wooden castle slides, the dome jungle gyms, splash pads, play houses, etc.. I guess some of those would require new animations so maybe too much for a kit ;^^ But an 80's themed arcade kit would be fun
I bought City Living for a facial hair style that it had because it matched my real life boyfriend's chosen style and I was creating us as sims. So, I have bought full on packs for one or two items. I use City living fully now, but I initially bought it just for one facial hair.
I understand if you're late to the party and want all the kits, it seems like a lot but the kits cost the same as a cup of coffee or half the price of a pack of smokes (where I live anyway). If I really like just one item, I never feel guilty about buying them. I know stuff packs on sale are almost just as cheap and I feel kinda the same about them but there are a LOT of flop stuff packs. They're split between CAS and BB so you still have the same issue of there not being enough for a whole build style. Anything above a stuff pack and I start to worry how it's gonna affect my game. My Wedding Stories annoys me so much because I love Tartosa (it's my favourite world), I like the CAS and BB but I hate hate hate the buggy weddings and you can't even turn them off and go back to base game weddings. So now I usually just elope which is kinda sad. Expansion packs can be even worse. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I don't actually like most of the features of Growing Together. It feels bloated and intrusive and kinda meaningless in actual gameplay. I wish I could turn off the gameplay features and keep the world/items but it's actually so bad I've considered disabling it the next time I start a new game. And I think I'm going to skip Lovestruck, not because I can't afford it, but because it's going to make romance in this game super cheesy and way more complicated than it needs to be. We're never getting Sims who can think for themselves with personality and free will that are actually worth dating beyond how they look. They don't speak or autonomously react like actual humans. It could have been a stuff pack with just the dating app and the costume box/dances and I would have been fine with that. All of this is a long winded way to say that kits might not seem good value for money but neither are a lot of the bigger packs even on sale. I wouldn't suggest picking them all up in one go but I never regret buying them, which I can't say about half the expansions.
My rankings are skewed because I mostly do CAS but I have over 16,000 files of CC and most of it is for CAS. If I want more content I just download it for free instead of buying it but I understand not everyone is that lucky so I'm grateful for that privilege Must have: Incheon Arrivals, Desert Lux, Modern Lux, Book Nook, Greenhouse Haven, Industrial Loft, Little Campers Unnecessary: everything else except Riviera Retreat
wow when kayla said “there’s probably some kits you’ve never heard of” SHE WAS SO RIGHT THERES A POOLSIDE SWIMSUIT KIT ??? they’re popping these things out left and right
Thanks for this! When it comes to masculine frame sims wearing skirts/dresses what I'd really like to see most is the sims team going back and updating existing clothing so it fits correctly. My upcoming heir is agender; so I want to pull from both sides of CAS for an androgynous look. SO MANY of the tops classed as feminine give my masculine framed sim breasts. I'm not trying to simulate wearing breastforms; I just want to put my sim in a cute lacy vest 😑!
omg stuff pack like my wedding stories but for funerals instead- new gravestones, wrought iron fence and gates, more urns, a Funeral Director career, a Funeral event which can speed the mourning process, this is amazing I love it
I don’t own many kits, but of the ones I do have I’d rank them 1. Blooming rooms 2. Throwback fits 3. Castle estate I’m really into my 80s and 90s clothes and athleisure wear in real life so I use the throwback fit for pretty much all of my sims active wear. The shorts with the tie at the front especially. I love some parts of blooming rooms (the leaf curtains, the small and medium regular looking plants) but like you say a lot of it is just crazy and doesn’t fit into every build. I ranked castle estate last, but I still really like it. As someone who’s grown up in England, especially in cities with huge cathedrals, I love being able to build churches and things which look like the sort of buildings I see every day here. I’d like to build an entire cathedral but I think my PlayStation would set on fire 😭
I'd love for them to do a Victorian house build kit. Maybe some new sidings & stained glass windows or roof details. Another one I'd love is a hobbies based kit, like new clutter and objects for skills like painting, photography, music, etc. a new guitar or something would be cool to see.
most necessary CAS kit: focused entirely on more diverse and customizable skin / hair / makeup details (tattoos, birth marks, scars, stretch marks, hairdos with different colored accessories + different dye placements, more glam style makeup that actually looks like something people wear, etc.) but of course they wouldn't give us all that in just one pack even if they decided to do it. most necessary build/buy mode kit: i'd love something inspired by greek or roman architecture (as a kit it would probably be more like the exteriors and pillars and friezes and stuff but i do think something like this would lend itself better to a whole pack + world) OR something more pastel themed / (as the whole community keeps screaming right now) fairycore.
The Basements Treasures kit is right up my alley. My biggest gripe with TS4 is that everything is so "modern", and the old stuff don't really look old at all. The two base game TVs and the computer that are supposed to look like CRTs are just big black squares and that's such a bummer, especially because TS2 and 3 had some really cool stuff with that aesthetic. I absolutely LOVE to build stuff that is older and has that kind of vibe, so I pretty much only have the Basement kit and the Werewolf pack for that.
You should make a kit with the sims 4 called blue suburban where it’s just matching windows and outside and inside doors with a skinny plain pillar and siding with lots of blue swatches or there should be a landscaping kit where it’s just bushes for outside ur house like hydrangeas and hedges and low lying plants aswell
Thanks to your two videos i watched i was able to decide what stuff i wanted to buy. I went for Cottage Living and the Blooming Rooms kit (almost got Book Nook, but that might be the next one😊). Thank you for making this ❤
I like Basement Treasures when I'm putting a Sim in their first apartment. It gives the whole "just moved out, can't wait until I can afford good furniture" vibe.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Party Essentials pack isn't for spoiled simmers who have every pack. Yes if you have every pack, you don't need Party Essentials. Heck if you just have Seasons you don't need it, but if you don't have Seasons or any other pack with party gameplay/items, then the Party Essentials kit is A GAME CHANGER! I actually have fun throwing birthday parties for my sims now. It's awesome.
I would love to see this as a full out expansion pack, but at this point I'll accept just a kit. But I would really love to see car culture brought back, they made a small pack for Sims 3 and I wouldn't mind seeing something brought back. As an expansion they could make being a pro driver a career, branches could be something like Stunt driver or Racecar driver. If they go deep enough they could even have the "Go to Work" ability to follow your CAW and manage them when to pit and things. For a Kit they could easily add sim sized vehicles in decorations, reskin clocks and lights to an auto theme, add mechanic garage stuff, as well as add "greaser" and mechanic clothes.
I find with the greenhouse kit I use it so often but Ive only ever built an actual greenhouse. I usually use it for porches or the windows work well for conservatories (idk how to spell it)
Most necessary kit... well, actually should be a base game update: Boring Beige Basics. I'm not even kidding. Give me natural walls, floors & furniture. No wacky colors. Wood tones all match. Minimal, slight patterns- if any. Simple, useable stuff for every room. Or maybe an infant / toddler / kid kit. An elder kit. Anything for ages that isn't YA or Adult.
We are so alike :) I am not a CAS fan either, but you actually made me excited for couple of them. The "must have" are almost the same for me. I would just add the blooming kit up there too :) But in the end, I want to have them all :D I need to have them all, hehe. Loved this video, thanks :)
maybe not necessary for everyone, but my DREAM is a tattoo kit - especially if they collabed with real tattoo artists! i’d love a kit full of new tattoos in all the different styles, especially more leg sleeves and back pieces. selfishly i would want a patchwork american traditional sleeve just because that’s my personal vibe, but a greater quantity of tattoos and more variation of the styles included would be a game changer for me
I love the Book Nook Kit, but why are there so few wood swatches? I truly wish there were at least two more. I always struggle to find one that coordinates well with my build. 😥🤷♀
must have: Riviera Retreat, Throwback Fit, Pastel Pop, Cozy Bistro, Courtyard Oasis, Country Kitchen, Modern Menswear and First Fits good to have: Booknook, Greenhouse Haven, Blooming Rooms, Fashion Street, Poolside Splash, Simtimates Collection and Party Essentials nice to have: Basement Treasures, Castle Estate, Desert Luxe, Carnival Streetwear, Everyday Clutter, Bathroom Clutter, Modern Luxe, industrial Loft, Little Campers, Moonlight Chic indifferent: Urban Homage, Bust The Dust, Goth Galore, Decor To The Max and Grunge Revival not good: incheon Arrivals more good then bad but i'm a swimmingpool kind of type so that explains why the most recent pack is the highest on the list😍😍
Oh how badly I want a drum set kit. Like the dust kit, it could be one gameplay item with different variations. Ideally, more variations of pianos, violins, and guitars as well. I also want kits that amplify the base game jobs. Like more painter related clutter & and functional drafting/sketching desk. I want them to make a ceramics stuff pack sooo badly. With a pottery wheel, a kiln that can ruin the projects, lots of new pottery decor & art supplies clutter. 😍
This would probably have to be more than a kit but just HAIR. A bunch of different hairstyles, but each hairstyle has a variation for the different hair textures. Plus more hair color swatches and changing individual colors for two-tones and hair accessories.
I don't know about "necessary," but I would love a harajuku cas kit. It would be impossible to accurately represent all the different subcultures and fashions that fit under the harajuku umbrella, but I think if they were smart with the designs and the different swatches they could deliver on items that could work for multiple different styles like lolita, decora, gyaru, larme, and visual kei. They could collab with real designers, also with the J-fashion youtuber LovelyLor, she has made some sims videos.
also why do some of the build kits only come in short wall height when there are no other features to it? Why can't it come in medium and tall like other packs do? It makes no sense to me (unless I'm thinking of the wrong kind of packs, but still, it's a thing EA does that irks me)
i want more like a gameplay kits like the dust kit but this time with something like the rice cooker they have in For rent pack, or the ice cream maker or the popcorn maker in stuff packs. just something new to be able to play with, new animation to see. Not just decorations
I think I would just like a mix of cas and build for a kit where theres pieces that every life stage can use like for males and females and then an outfit, top and bottom and maybe more modern everyday style. I like a lot of the kids that have come out, definitely mostly agree with you for the unnecessary category, but I would add the castle kit to that and the modern men's and carnival kit. I don't really like the clothes I guess and I like some of the other things better. I REALLY like the Incheon street ware kit, and the book nook and stuff too though and use the everyday clutter in a lot of builds.
The fact that there are $155 worth of kits 😵
And they never go on sale! I know a few have been free but still...
Oof I recalculated with tax based on a comment $165.85 USD
I was gonna say its shocking but its EA so nevermind 😭
31x4.49=139.19
31 kits
4.49 for each kit
that's appalling omg

I would really like a bohemian kit tbh. Some more string lights, pillows, plants, and beds would look really nice in a boho aesthetics
I want a kit that is just pillows, string lights and throw blankets.
Modders can make them, why can't EA?
@boredsoul3490 Exactly my thoughts 🙌 I just want my sims to be COZY!
high school years has some cute boho items!!!! there is a cute boho esque double and single bed, some lights under some fabric, a curtain that is cute and boho, cute wicker egg chair that matches the bed, another little chair that matches, and a little wicker basket (I can't remember if it is decor or a trashcan lol).

not as a kit, it should be a stuff pack at LEAST imo
I would like a kit based around death traditions. Like funerals and stuff that other cultures might do.
It can be another game play kit. 😂
I would like a whole new stuff pack for funerals
This is an AMAZING idea
not you predicting the new expansion help
Decor to the max peacock goes great with paired with the fountains from Romantic Garden. I've made some cool cemeteries with it
I immediately thought The Sims 1 homage as there is one in the OG game
This. I now need to do this. Thank you. 🙏🏻

@@mwahha6965 The werewolf and vampire packs also come with some good wall scuffs and tears.
@pointsixteen basement treasures is a really good kit for this. Strangerville, vampires, and werewolves are also really good for that look

My must haves: book nook, pastel pop, blooming rooms, country kitchen and everyday clutter. LOVE those ones, always use them
I would love to see a wood working kit, where it gives you more things you can make, like picture frames or something
Not the kits being over 100$ like bro that’s just so much lol
I want an electronics kit. Like individual monitors for a tower pc (could be varied like the extra long curved monitor and vertical monitor), more game systems, vcrs, dvd players, and clutter like tangled dead earphones, old cd stack, vcr memory box, forgotteb cable box. Call it “its electric”
Long story short- I no longer have access to my mom’s EA account we have been sharing (off the record lol) for YEARS and years. We as a team had every.single.expansion in the game. I had to make my own account and start over everything from scratch. The packs I chose first even surprised me a little but I don’t regret my choices it is the following:

-high school years
-get to work

(For context I’m the summer who loves building, CAS, as well as gameplay I enjoy every aspect and yes it does take me FOREVER to set everything up 😂😂)
honestly preppy clothing kit would be fun and maybe another kitchen set kit, i find hard to use most of the kitchen set and its the room i struggle most with even tho kitchens are like my favorite thing to decorate so another kitchen set kit would be useful
I *always* use the dust and *always* add laundry in my builds. I even have multiple pieces of laundry CC lol
You are braver than I
I fear the dust system with all my heart
I would use laundry all the time but it ALWAYS breaks for me. I get so frustrated replacing bugged washers and dryers that I inevitably delete it.
My Top 3 Kits:
•Book Nook
•Both clutter kits (they should’ve been in one kit, let’s be honest)
•Incheon Arrivals (it’s the best CAS kit to me)
My Least Used (of the ones I own)
•Party Essentials
•Modern Menswear
•Courtyard Oasis
I want more decor kits. We already got clutter and plants, so now one for rugs one and wall art.

There are clean versions of the door and window from the industrial kit! There’s two black and two white swatches, one of each looking antique and one “clean” 😊
i’d personally love a kitchen clutter kit or a toddler room kit (more toys, wall decor) but my unrealistic dream is a wallpaper kit. not the category wallpaper, but actual wallpaper with skirting boards and a pattern. also i agree with some other people that more subculture fashion kits would be cool! oo or maybe a hair kit with a modern hairdresser theme
the goth kit changed my life i am actually having fun making sims now
Courtyard Oasis is in use often or even must have for me just because of the tiles and the wall. I use that so often, the colors are great and it looks good both indoors and outdoors. Little campers is also in use often for me, because I use that card table / normal table version + the matching chairs all the time in the gardens. Desert Luxe is a must have for me because of the curtains; the rest of the furniture is also great. All the clutter kits are also up there for me (bathroom, everyday, the old basement stuff and the booknook and plant kits I also count to this). Honestly, I think all the build kits have cool stuff and I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't hate kits in general, I think they serve different niches and do that well enough. If that niche isn't something that you miss in your game (like you never build pools, or you prefer to build modern houses over rustic houses, or you never play with kids anyways), than it's easy to say no to a kit and just not buy it.
I put a lot more time and effort into my builds than I spend in CAS, so I have been prioritizing getting build stuff over CAS stuff. However I'd like to see a tattoo kit. I've been wanting to give my sim's tattoos lately but there's not many options and I get bored using the same few over and over. If they came out with a tattoo stuff pack I'd snatch it up right away rather than tag it on the end of my "eventually get" list.
I have a few kits that were free (desert lux, blooming rooms) and I like them but wouldn't have bought them. I bought decor to the max because it's so different from other stuff in the game. I love it but I don't use it that often. I also bought the grunge kit and I love it for teen and I use the baggy t-shirt in plain swatches on almost all my male sims. My most recent buy is moonlight chic and I'm obsessed with it. I don't agree that it's interchangeable with the CAS from HSY, it's much more mature and I love the style. The build kits kind of feel too small to be of use sometimes. I'd rather see them make kits with complete matching furniture sets OR matching windows/doors in separate kits, instead of doing a few furniture items and two windows in the same kit.
I want a playground kit and arcade kit so badly. The playground one could have things like a merry-go-round, sand box, those old wooden castle slides, the dome jungle gyms, splash pads, play houses, etc.. I guess some of those would require new animations so maybe too much for a kit ;^^ But an 80's themed arcade kit would be fun
I would prefer a focused kit like ONLY CURTAINS or WINDOWS instead of entire rooms or CAS. I think we need more stuff like that.
the decor to the max wallpapers are soooo good
I bought City Living for a facial hair style that it had because it matched my real life boyfriend's chosen style and I was creating us as sims. So, I have bought full on packs for one or two items. I use City living fully now, but I initially bought it just for one facial hair.
I understand if you're late to the party and want all the kits, it seems like a lot but the kits cost the same as a cup of coffee or half the price of a pack of smokes (where I live anyway). If I really like just one item, I never feel guilty about buying them. I know stuff packs on sale are almost just as cheap and I feel kinda the same about them but there are a LOT of flop stuff packs. They're split between CAS and BB so you still have the same issue of there not being enough for a whole build style.
Anything above a stuff pack and I start to worry how it's gonna affect my game. My Wedding Stories annoys me so much because I love Tartosa (it's my favourite world), I like the CAS and BB but I hate hate hate the buggy weddings and you can't even turn them off and go back to base game weddings. So now I usually just elope which is kinda sad.
Expansion packs can be even worse. I know it's an unpopular opinion but I don't actually like most of the features of Growing Together. It feels bloated and intrusive and kinda meaningless in actual gameplay. I wish I could turn off the gameplay features and keep the world/items but it's actually so bad I've considered disabling it the next time I start a new game.
And I think I'm going to skip Lovestruck, not because I can't afford it, but because it's going to make romance in this game super cheesy and way more complicated than it needs to be. We're never getting Sims who can think for themselves with personality and free will that are actually worth dating beyond how they look. They don't speak or autonomously react like actual humans. It could have been a stuff pack with just the dating app and the costume box/dances and I would have been fine with that.
All of this is a long winded way to say that kits might not seem good value for money but neither are a lot of the bigger packs even on sale. I wouldn't suggest picking them all up in one go but I never regret buying them, which I can't say about half the expansions.
idk why but the fact that you took the time to explain the pretty clear tier rankings cracked me up.
My rankings are skewed because I mostly do CAS but I have over 16,000 files of CC and most of it is for CAS. If I want more content I just download it for free instead of buying it but I understand not everyone is that lucky so I'm grateful for that privilege
Must have: Incheon Arrivals, Desert Lux, Modern Lux, Book Nook, Greenhouse Haven, Industrial Loft, Little Campers
Unnecessary: everything else except Riviera Retreat
wow when kayla said “there’s probably some kits you’ve never heard of” SHE WAS SO RIGHT THERES A POOLSIDE SWIMSUIT KIT ??? they’re popping these things out left and right
Thanks for this! When it comes to masculine frame sims wearing skirts/dresses what I'd really like to see most is the sims team going back and updating existing clothing so it fits correctly. My upcoming heir is agender; so I want to pull from both sides of CAS for an androgynous look. SO MANY of the tops classed as feminine give my masculine framed sim breasts. I'm not trying to simulate wearing breastforms; I just want to put my sim in a cute lacy vest 😑!
I've said it a few times before, but what I want most is a cemetery lot type.
omg stuff pack like my wedding stories but for funerals instead- new gravestones, wrought iron fence and gates, more urns, a Funeral Director career, a Funeral event which can speed the mourning process, this is amazing I love it
I don’t own many kits, but of the ones I do have I’d rank them
1. Blooming rooms
2. Throwback fits
3. Castle estate
I’m really into my 80s and 90s clothes and athleisure wear in real life so I use the throwback fit for pretty much all of my sims active wear. The shorts with the tie at the front especially. I love some parts of blooming rooms (the leaf curtains, the small and medium regular looking plants) but like you say a lot of it is just crazy and doesn’t fit into every build. I ranked castle estate last, but I still really like it. As someone who’s grown up in England, especially in cities with huge cathedrals, I love being able to build churches and things which look like the sort of buildings I see every day here. I’d like to build an entire cathedral but I think my PlayStation would set on fire 😭
She’s so funny how she squeaks every few seconds with her voice, I’m ROFL 🤣🤣🤣
I neeeeeed a kitchen clutter kit so bad. Cereal boxes, condiment bottles, more plates and bowls, cans of food, more pots and pans. I need all of it 😭
I'd love for them to do a Victorian house build kit. Maybe some new sidings & stained glass windows or roof details.
Another one I'd love is a hobbies based kit, like new clutter and objects for skills like painting, photography, music, etc. a new guitar or something would be cool to see.
A BEDROOM KIT! I would love to have new beds, with lots of swatches.
most necessary CAS kit: focused entirely on more diverse and customizable skin / hair / makeup details (tattoos, birth marks, scars, stretch marks, hairdos with different colored accessories + different dye placements, more glam style makeup that actually looks like something people wear, etc.) but of course they wouldn't give us all that in just one pack even if they decided to do it. most necessary build/buy mode kit: i'd love something inspired by greek or roman architecture (as a kit it would probably be more like the exteriors and pillars and friezes and stuff but i do think something like this would lend itself better to a whole pack + world) OR something more pastel themed / (as the whole community keeps screaming right now) fairycore.
The Basements Treasures kit is right up my alley. My biggest gripe with TS4 is that everything is so "modern", and the old stuff don't really look old at all. The two base game TVs and the computer that are supposed to look like CRTs are just big black squares and that's such a bummer, especially because TS2 and 3 had some really cool stuff with that aesthetic. I absolutely LOVE to build stuff that is older and has that kind of vibe, so I pretty much only have the Basement kit and the Werewolf pack for that.
You should make a kit with the sims 4 called blue suburban where it’s just matching windows and outside and inside doors with a skinny plain pillar and siding with lots of blue swatches or there should be a landscaping kit where it’s just bushes for outside ur house like hydrangeas and hedges and low lying plants aswell
you and sophia camarda are literally the only reasons im still breathing !! the content and vibes from you 2 is A1
I would love a hair kit bc the ones in game rn are lacking 😞
Thanks to your two videos i watched i was able to decide what stuff i wanted to buy. I went for Cottage Living and the Blooming Rooms kit (almost got Book Nook, but that might be the next one😊). Thank you for making this ❤
The timing is perfect! I just watched your old kits ranking yesterday and thought you really needed to do a new one 😂
Her top is so cute
Please rank all the rags to riches methods next!
I like Basement Treasures when I'm putting a Sim in their first apartment. It gives the whole "just moved out, can't wait until I can afford good furniture" vibe.
the kits are just cc packs on sale. i have most of those kind of stuff on my game thanks to the cc creators. i could never play without CC.
Realm of Magic CAS is very urban fantasy vibe, so it would be nice to have a CAS kit with more traditional witchery outfits.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Party Essentials pack isn't for spoiled simmers who have every pack. Yes if you have every pack, you don't need Party Essentials. Heck if you just have Seasons you don't need it, but if you don't have Seasons or any other pack with party gameplay/items, then the Party Essentials kit is A GAME CHANGER! I actually have fun throwing birthday parties for my sims now. It's awesome.
stop i disnt know there was a castle kit and now i want it SO bad😭
I would love to see this as a full out expansion pack, but at this point I'll accept just a kit. But I would really love to see car culture brought back, they made a small pack for Sims 3 and I wouldn't mind seeing something brought back. As an expansion they could make being a pro driver a career, branches could be something like Stunt driver or Racecar driver. If they go deep enough they could even have the "Go to Work" ability to follow your CAW and manage them when to pit and things. For a Kit they could easily add sim sized vehicles in decorations, reskin clocks and lights to an auto theme, add mechanic garage stuff, as well as add "greaser" and mechanic clothes.
I absolutely adore the Castle Estate Kit
If you want to build a (non-working) arcade, Party Essentials is very very very useful.
I love the Incheon Arrivals kit so much like it is definitely one of my favourites of all
Oh god there’s 31???
I find with the greenhouse kit I use it so often but Ive only ever built an actual greenhouse. I usually use it for porches or the windows work well for conservatories (idk how to spell it)
I actually use the Throwback fit a lot in CAS 😅
I’m gunna buy a kit for my birthday…… I’m so glad this ranking video came out
Most necessary kit... well, actually should be a base game update: Boring Beige Basics. I'm not even kidding. Give me natural walls, floors & furniture. No wacky colors. Wood tones all match. Minimal, slight patterns- if any. Simple, useable stuff for every room. Or maybe an infant / toddler / kid kit. An elder kit. Anything for ages that isn't YA or Adult.
We are so alike :) I am not a CAS fan either, but you actually made me excited for couple of them. The "must have" are almost the same for me. I would just add the blooming kit up there too :) But in the end, I want to have them all :D I need to have them all, hehe. Loved this video, thanks :)
You should rank all your must buy tiers from all your ranking videos (expansion, game, stuff, kit) so we can see which ones to buy first
maybe not necessary for everyone, but my DREAM is a tattoo kit - especially if they collabed with real tattoo artists! i’d love a kit full of new tattoos in all the different styles, especially more leg sleeves and back pieces. selfishly i would want a patchwork american traditional sleeve just because that’s my personal vibe, but a greater quantity of tattoos and more variation of the styles included would be a game changer for me
If they could make an art nouveau (or art deco, I like both) kit to complement the Bistro kit, I would love that!
I love the Book Nook Kit, but why are there so few wood swatches? I truly wish there were at least two more. I always struggle to find one that coordinates well with my build. 😥🤷♀
i love your shirt so much omg!!!!
must have: Riviera Retreat, Throwback Fit, Pastel Pop, Cozy Bistro, Courtyard Oasis, Country Kitchen, Modern Menswear and First Fits
good to have: Booknook, Greenhouse Haven, Blooming Rooms, Fashion Street, Poolside Splash, Simtimates Collection and Party Essentials
nice to have: Basement Treasures, Castle Estate, Desert Luxe, Carnival Streetwear, Everyday Clutter, Bathroom Clutter, Modern Luxe, industrial Loft, Little Campers, Moonlight Chic
indifferent: Urban Homage, Bust The Dust, Goth Galore, Decor To The Max and Grunge Revival
not good: incheon Arrivals
more good then bad but i'm a swimmingpool kind of type so that explains why the most recent pack is the highest on the list😍😍
Kits are $8 in Australia and never go on sale.
This is why the sims 4 is dying.
Yeah it’s around the same price in nz, it sucks there are never on sale
Oh how badly I want a drum set kit. Like the dust kit, it could be one gameplay item with different variations. Ideally, more variations of pianos, violins, and guitars as well.
I also want kits that amplify the base game jobs. Like more painter related clutter & and functional drafting/sketching desk.
I want them to make a ceramics stuff pack sooo badly. With a pottery wheel, a kiln that can ruin the projects, lots of new pottery decor & art supplies clutter. 😍
This would probably have to be more than a kit but just HAIR. A bunch of different hairstyles, but each hairstyle has a variation for the different hair textures. Plus more hair color swatches and changing individual colors for two-tones and hair accessories.
I'm thinking a nice new kit addition would be something that would give us a placeable skylight and our first spiral staircase?? 👀
Modern Luxe and Book Nook are my favourite kits ❤
i want a blue suburban kit made by lilsimsie
THAT SWEATER IS ADORABLE❤ that is all
I actually like kits. You already know what you’re getting you’re dont have to get disappointed by zero gameplay like the others lol
I’d put the Greenhouse kit in must have just b/c of the lil’ vine-y plant. I put her EEEEEEVERYWHERE
non related to the video but that shirt/sweater looks SOOOO good on you simsie!!
I admit I mostly bought the bathroom clutter because I thought the dentures were a brilliant touch
I don't know about "necessary," but I would love a harajuku cas kit. It would be impossible to accurately represent all the different subcultures and fashions that fit under the harajuku umbrella, but I think if they were smart with the designs and the different swatches they could deliver on items that could work for multiple different styles like lolita, decora, gyaru, larme, and visual kei. They could collab with real designers, also with the J-fashion youtuber LovelyLor, she has made some sims videos.
also why do some of the build kits only come in short wall height when there are no other features to it? Why can't it come in medium and tall like other packs do? It makes no sense to me (unless I'm thinking of the wrong kind of packs, but still, it's a thing EA does that irks me)
off topic but i love your shirt!!
i want more like a gameplay kits like the dust kit but this time with something like the rice cooker they have in For rent pack, or the ice cream maker or the popcorn maker in stuff packs. just something new to be able to play with, new animation to see. Not just decorations
I think I would just like a mix of cas and build for a kit where theres pieces that every life stage can use like for males and females and then an outfit, top and bottom and maybe more modern everyday style. I like a lot of the kids that have come out, definitely mostly agree with you for the unnecessary category, but I would add the castle kit to that and the modern men's and carnival kit. I don't really like the clothes I guess and I like some of the other things better. I REALLY like the Incheon street ware kit, and the book nook and stuff too though and use the everyday clutter in a lot of builds.
I’d love a video of all the deaths in the sims, like the woohoo-ranking video
Simsie you were so real at the beginning of this
