I'm sorry, this pack is a mom who didn't realize the party was tomorrow and she's got 20 bucks and 15 minutes before work to hit up Party City.
Perfect way to describe it 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats how all my sims birthdays go
Dollar store items. LOL they look so cheap
HAHAH OMG YES
So its basically "My first Get Together Luxury Party stuff"
LOL! I really hope EA/Maxis/Guru's read the comments.
😂😂😂😂😂 and as if we needed another luxury party stuff!!! Tbh they owe this as a free update to anyone who actually bought that lacking pack
This is not luxury this is regular part stuff
@@StargirlPlaysGames Let's be honest, this should've been a little thank you for the 20-year anniversary. Or the late "Sorry we messed up the anniversary" gift
Right? Still waiting on an anniversary gift... doubt we'll ever get any considering EA is so cash grabby these days 😕
I have so many ideas for things that would've been cool. A bouncy house for kids, an online shop where your sims could purchase different cakes and cards for different occasions, spin the bottle, a fruit punch bowl that mischievous sims can spike, a piñata...
I know these are gameplay things so it would have to be a stuff pack, but I think the $10 is plenty worth it if it's actually adding to your game.
Well to be fair busy the dust was a gameplay kit, so it's not out of the realm of possibility what you are describing. A bouncy castle would've been such a nice addition bc kids have nothing but drawing tables and I guess a treehouse
You came up with some great ideas that would not only be decorative but add gameplay for all generations. Spin the bottle for teens and adults, and games for the kids. I love the online shop idea. So quick and easy to throw together a quick party. It would have been nice to even get items for pets when they age up. Give us a small stack of gift items where the swatches are different according to the stage of life for the sims or different according to what the sim likes. There's just so much missed out opportunity for creative items that would be decorative and add gameplay.
In the words of one of my favorite youtubers "The sims 4 lacks ambition, yes it does"
A random person can come up with 10x ideas on the spot that are better than anything they do? They should hire you!
That’d be too ambitious for the sims 4 team, you’re trying to hold them to a standard they don’t even try to touch cause they know modders will pick up the slack
the fact that they called this "party ESSENTIALS" is killing me. if this dlc is supposedly so "essential" for parties - something that have been in the game since the beginning - why is it coming out 10 years late lmao
The ONLY saving grace would’ve been if it had made certain objects which are locked behind various DLC (like the buffet table thing, the drinks fountain, functional dance floors, maybe even the photo booth) more accessible to players who don’t want to spend a fortune *just* to get those “essential” party items. They could’ve reskinned them all to match one another and stuck them in the kit and that could’ve been cool, fit the name and made it somewhat more worth the money for newer/more casual players, and still new enough (in that they’ll all match and fit tho specific kind of party theme) that people who own them wouldn’t feel cheated.
are the essentials in the room with us?
The only time, where the potato chips in the bowl, (like at some party's) seem more essential than all of this 😅
@@F4im i didn't even recognize that it was supposed to be chips the textures are always so ugly
It is such a waste of a kit, was this their best idea for adding items? A Party theme?
It looks like something that should have come with the High School Pack, like, stuff you could use to decorate your teen's room or prom area.
100% !! Even the style of some of the items like the "turn table", the bar, the glow wall garland thing reminds me of HSY pack!
Yeah I was thinking that too. Stuff they were gonna put in to prom but decided to repackage and sell to us separately instead
Yes 100% agree. They do this shi* all the time!
Those balloons legit look like rocks
i thought the green ones looked like giant peas
Ps1 graphics.
The polygon balloons are almost as atrocious as the cursed ballpit-medium240x320.jpg thing from toddler stuff.
Omg the reference I never knew I needed. This is the same category of atrocious
literallyyyy LOLLL
yes god i hate how everything in this game is a freaking polygon
oh god why did i google that
I’m still mad kids can’t go in that thing.
I'm a 3D modeler and this just hurts my soul. All these items take less than a day to make. I'm fucking speechless 😃
RIGHT i can make all this in 2-3 hours this makes me so mad LOL
Size doesn’t necessarily matter, it’s how you use it…and EA does not know how to use it.
"It's very much giving Sims Mobile." - That's because the Sims Mobile has had a Disco ball, party lights, a fog machine, DJ booth, etc. for YEARRRRRSSSS. They also had a pizza oven and stand mixer for several years before Home Chef Hustle. I feel like the Sims 4 team is trying to transfer over the few ideas/items that they had unique to the Sims Mobile, before the mobile game ends for good. If we get a Vampire refresh with an upright coffin and a vampire hovering into the coffin with their arms crossed, I'm done.😂
I think the same thing
I agree! Most of these items are in Sims Mobile. And you earn them, not buy them. 😅
SimmerErin has actually speculated the same thing, and has predictions of future content based on this pattern. I wouldn't be surprised if they're just porting content over, but it takes longer because of the scale.
@@SyntheticGoth That's good to know! I follow her, but I must have missed that speculation. Good to know I'm not the only one who has this theory!
They are definitely just porting the meshes from mobile to pc 😭 how lazy!
Wow the fact that u need another dlc for this dlc to fully function is so greedy
Not the first time they done that
@@sherrie553my first pet stuff in the corner:
I’m confused. He got it to work once he turned music on. Don’t the dance floors always require the music on?
You don't. This is false information. Lilsimsie tested this without having any packs installed.
@@bookcat123 Yeah. It works as long as you play music. People just love jumping on things
The title: Hey! It's bad!!
Me: Why i'm not surprised...
He does this for nearly every DLC, then 3 months later "I actually like this DLC!"
he's very much bitter lol
So the board thing is like a welcome sign - ppl usually use them for baby or bridal showers, graduation parties, etc. That being said, this pack is unsurprisingly underwhelming. lol.
Yeah they’ve been at most weddings I’ve been to and I know my nephew’s 1st birthday had one, but they’re not usually at standard parties and there’s already one in My Wedding Stories for weddings. It’s a weird choice, because the kind of parties this pack is based around doesn’t really include anything for the kinds of parties (like weddings, baby showers, baby parties) boards are useful for…in part because a lot of those parties are locked behind other DLC. There’s not a lot they could do with the party theme without crossing over with other already available DLC (a corner they’ve backed themselves into), but they’ve still managed to make something underwhelming and not even worth kit prices lmao. It’s almost impressive.
would've been nice if the board added some gameplay. it's a cute item for what it is but at the end of the day it's all just filler for an empty pack
@@bunnyellabellyou know what I’d love? An object kinda like the season’s decorations box but for INSIDE the house. The sign would’ve been cool if you put it out and clicked it to put up streamers that matched the theme of whatever board you put down. Or have sims be able to place notes on the board for the host.
I knew it was going to be underwhelming based on the name alone. EA’s track record hasn’t gotten me excited for anything since Werewolves and I fucking hated that pack even though I’m a werewolf girlie.
EA just don't care about anything at this point, i genuinely believe they're about to pull "the emperor's new clothes" for the next pack
They're pocketing as much money before dropping rene.
I feel like the party kit is leftover assests from High School Years and Growing Together. The styles feel like a mismatch if those packs
I love the shade towards the manic pixie dream kids that start foaming at the mouth whenever butterflies show up. 😂
Also I really dont understand how they cant make circles?? why is every balloon or top of a can faceted instead of smooth, like go into blender and use the circle tool?? I'm so lost
they look so heavy as well? like they're filled with sand or something lmao
The reason is polygons or the lack thereof. If you go into blender and just use a circle tool, it is not optimized for performance, and every object in the game needs to not make the game crash loading it as an asset. That's why Garten of Banban is such a nightnare to run (say nothing of the game quality) trying to make everything have a high poly count to rough out those wonky curves tanks your performance. So while the ugly polygonal not-curcular objects are hideous on close inspection they are actually an intentional choice to prevent your game from crashing constantly lol
That being said, this wouldn't be as big of an issue if the sims was like, a functioning game and not dumpster code switched together
@@TheGlassAddiction yeah but I can't imagine the circles have to look THAT wonky. Those balloons are really bad. I only use these programs for architectural stuff so I don't know much about the game design side but those are really rough and you can usually reduce meshes even when they're curved so they're not as big
@@TheGlassAddiction The balloons stil ldon't have to look THAT bad to not consume so many resources. They just re-used the old base game balloons and repositioned them. xD
This really, *really* should have just been a free base game update, maybe for their Sims Anniversary. (And yeah all I could think was that a few of these would at least be good for a gamer bedroom.) Those balloons look like dogshit, and are just the vanilla basegame balloons recolored and re-positioned - a few more polygons in a balloon to make it not angular won't kill the game anymore than any other bug will, lmao.
so true.
04:33 They had the perfect opportunity with this pack to do exactly that... Add a functional buffet table, even a low poly one, wouldn't matter. But nope...
There are so many oversights with this pack...honestly what a pointless pack/kit
Wouldn't everyone just complain "This buffet should be in base game, this buffet should have been in my wedding stories?"
also a new punch bowl or drink tray
actually the punchbowl stand serves as a buffet table in this game it's just has a round shape.
An oversight? No. By definition an oversight is an unintentional failure to do something, say something, or notice something. There's nothing remotely unintentional about this or other recent (and not so recent) kits/packs/etc. This is gouging us for the benefit of executives and shareholders, without actually providing a product with any substance, whether in terms of functionality, creativity, or just plain fun. It's not even especially pretty. Basically, it's lacking in content and it's boring, too.
Brutally honest, but you’re the only one telling us how it is. Thank you, havent felt the desire to buy any dlc since seasons. They are shooting themselves in the foot, the poor PR team must be tired.
LGR told it like it is for years
@@Qrtuop his reviews for the sims are amazing, been watching them for years. he is not with any of EA'S BS
The SimYin tells it like it is as well.
It bugs me that more party decor isn’t movable in live mode. Like that sign especially, that’s the kind of thing I wish I could put in my sims’ inventory or into storage without having to go into build/buy when I want to put it out and put it away again, because most likely I’m only going to have decor out for a few in-game hours. Like it’s a small thing but it’s one of like 10,000 other small things that are annoying about this game.
Can’t remember who it’s by at the moment (pretty sure it’s twistedmexi?) but there’s a mod that makes everything movable in live mode and I can’t play without it!
I love watching lilsimsie's video and then Satch's because they usually review kits, packs, and announcements on the same day. Its really funny to see the differences on how yall react 😂😂
Lilsimsie’s opinion is a little bit bought by ea - she won’t be as honest as Satch cause she’s in the creator content. That’s why I value satch’s opinion much more.
@@LauraDebardinah, lilsimsie has always called out EA when it’s deserved. the difference is she always goes into her reviews with an open mind and focuses on the positives. Satch is more critical but sometimes he’s just straight up wrong, like how he said the dance floor requires Get Together to function as it’s literally functioning in his video while he has Get Together disabled
@@satansgrandma6728yeah but you can dance anywhere so its pointless
@@reneeeve You might find it pointless but either way he lied about the dance floor requiring a different pack to function just to get people upset at EA. lilsimsie would never intentionally misinform her audience like that
@@satansgrandma6728 yeah but it doesn’t have full functionality, does it? no.
I like the lights, the discoball, the fog, the simple radio and bar. Would have been nice free update to luxury party.
I think the invisible fog mat aka dance floor, would be great aesthetically if you're building a creepy spooky house or cemetery and want some fog effects. Or if you want to throw a spooky party but done have room for the fog machine.
The invisible dance floor should be called "the Emperor's New Dance Floor".
Hilarious
Yeah it's literally an invisible dancefloor.. why would I pay for that??
TY for this honest review and for posting so quickly!
seriously considered dressing up as ea for a motto party for "first letter of your name" and stand there with a suitcase and sign that says "give me your money and you'll get nothing in return" but then i thought people wouldn't get it but this video proves i should've done it actually
Halloween costume? 😂
Just print out a big picture from my first pet stuff or another pack that is just junk on a cardboard and put it on you with strings attached 😂
"What's your costume?"
"I'm greed and disappointment"
@@natayliab1266 no, mottowoche, idk if it's a german thing but during the last week of school before you graduate, every day has a different theme and one of those was first letter of your name haha
@@Kleines97 so true should've done that but my name starts with an e🥲
@@emiliai that genuinely sounds really fun
“Who is having a butterfly party?” Not me already considering a butterfly garden party for my 2yr old’s birthday this summer 😅.
happy birthday in advance! a butterfly party for your lovely little one sounds beautiful
Haha, that's adorable, but I think the point is the content is so small and a butterfly theme is niche for what's named "party essentials". Like, doubtful someone's gonna use that for a teenage boy party, ya know?
The foggy dance floor square could be useful if you're making a spooky build. Maybe a graveyard. I wonder if you shrink the square, if the fog stays the same. I guess goths could now dance on graves. LOL
For anyone with get together they could already do this with the steam vent (by placing it in a basement and move objects) and or dj booth with fog effect the curved one.
Yeah but I hate using basements @@Miluielle
This is literally the only interesting/useful thing about this pack to me
My second get together-highschool years-luxury party add-on 😍
At this point I think EA is trying to get rid of the Sims fan base. Maybe they don't want to make a Sim 5 and getting rid of us like this would be the easiest way out. 🤷♀
The fact that the lemonade drink stand and the snacks doesn’t function is pissing me off the most.
They could have at least made the snack decoration into a Cooler where sims can grab quick meals. And I think the Juice Jug could have been like the juice keg from university minus the keg stand interaction. At least make it function like a juice bowl. Would be fun if Sims could spike it like previous games. Almost every item seems to have a similar counterpart from another pack.
yeah.. why is it not functional..
The board I like. It’s like a sign that you place either outside of the venue or at the entrance to a party. Also the “drape” seems more like a photo backdrop.
People put those boards in front of their house so guests can find the house easier.
The board is a sign ppl use at the entrance of their party.. usually for themed parties... like 90s...all white...costume... etc
The dance floor doesn't actually require get together. Dance floors are mainly used to assign a space for sims to dance to rather than them dancing wherever. Get together came with the dance skill and group dancing which simply adds these interactions on the normal dance floors.
oh, that's kinda nice
oh. thank you for explaining because i was very confused. though i am still a bit confused because what's the point of a dance floor then if there's no group dancing?
@@bunnyellabell It's for sims to dance in a designated area instead of randomly dancing in the bedroom and bathroom. It's very useful for community lots such as clubs etc.
I thought the same thing. if you argue that the invisible dance floor is useless then so is every other dance floor because you could just dance from the speaker. this pack is underwhelming ofc but not for that reason 😅
I was hoping we'd get some baby shower stuff since its a party pack. Like "its a girl/boy" wall decor. Maybe some party recipes or a gameplay cake object where you cut it and can learn the gender of your child. Also in the previous sims games the balloons were actual circles and would pop over time...
Lmao good luck getting anything binary or masculine from TS4
Baby shower or kids party items would've been great but of course, EA said f*ck them kids. 😂
@@nostalgiagatuna I forgot EA is masculinephobic 😭😭😭
@@nostalgiagatuna i'm nb and this is so funny to me lol
Wait 28 mb? That's the weight of the kit? 28 bloody megabytes!? Bruh
it's compressed,its probably more
I literally have no words for how useless these kits are now
The fact that £5 is somehow ridiculously overpriced for them says it all tbh.
im not surprised
It's a screenshot pack that requires another pack, ugh.
The dance floor not being functional is literally the stupidest thing ever wtf
It being invisible makes it so much worse!
It is functional. You do not need any other packs to use the dance floor!
It actually is functional. You just need to play music, which is super logical.
@@user-pw6ol5ck1p actually I like this invisible option, but as I'm saying AS AN OPTION added to get together dancefloors. It being invisible is perfect for those that have very specyfic style of their buildings which they don't won't to ruin with unmatching dancefloor. I for example have a medieval-style gameplay, so I'd really appreciate this one, but the whole kit is so laughable that I'm not even gonna comment on it more. Custom contet creators have done it better ~5 years ago, for free.
When Satch review the greenhouse haven kit he said the table should be functional if the person had the seasons pack (the arrangment flower table), here they did exactly that, it still functional without Get Together, they wouldnt sell the "special dance moves" from the pack in this kit.
Those decorative balloons looked like a cluster of disease or viruses of some sort...
OMG COVID 19 PACK HINT?
@@bunnyellabell LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣
those wall balloons look cursed. i hate it here.
Fog in a cemetery or abandoned house would make the invisible dance floor useful.
One thing that *can* be said about The Sims 4 is that it's consistent. It never fails to disappoint. I appreciate that in a strange way. #curbyourexpectations
😂
The gift that never keeps giving. 😂
Hmmm. The Neon light with the Flamingo swatch kinda reminds me of the time I visited Vice City in 1986. Some punk from Liberty City who went by the name Tommy Vercetti rose to his criminal fame there.
We have so many party themed stuff, but yet, parties feel a bit empty in this game
I like how honest you are
They should have named it what it is: "80s Party Kit". It looks like old school 80s basement or bad school gym dance parties of old, except for the LED stuff, which seems like they just tossed those in for the modern gen. I like the fog stuff though, can be used for Vampires and makeshift graveyards. Eh, not wicked exciting, but I can see some potential for retro and/or Occult or just cheesy gameplay. Definitely not "essentials", lol.
The fog machine and dance floor will come handy for the Halloween builds though😭😭😭
I’m a brand new player to the sims 4 only started last week. I cannot believe any of you are paying for these. I spent money at a CC creator (shoutout to Abricot designs) and got dozens of builds and a list of hundreds of free CC for less than the cost of two sims 4 expansion packs. I paid $50 for (supposedly one of the best) packs Cottage Living and it’s a hunk of junk. I got more from downloading the saved lot Plumb made. I am 33 years old and grew up on the sims 2. Why do none of my sims have personalities? Where’s the burglar? Sims 2 came with the ability to throw a party in the base game itself. Only a week in and so disappointed. I may just go back to sims 2.
We're from the same generation and I have to tell you, please go back to The Sims 2 while you can. It's awful over here. 😅
@@SyntheticGothit’s a mixed bag for me because I’m a builder and the sims 4 is infinitely better for builders imho. Sims 2 is god tier for live mode though
@@CJ.1998X.Y.Z Fair. Build mode is the only thing TS4 has going for it. I'm scared to go into live mode anymore, tbh. I finally get my save to how I want it and bam, another patch/pack comes along and I have to update mods all over again. 🙄
I've decided not to buy another thing and just wait until they give it away!
I'm sooo looking forward to that CC video! This kit is beyond lackluster...
Things missing: Decorative pizza boxes, like they could've added red solo cups, punch. If its a gender reveal party, they could've added baby posters, like baby in a blue or pink onesie. Birthday party, decorative cone hats. Balloons tied to backs of chairs. They have a military career with strangerville, why not add some military swatches to the posters or ribbons for a welcome home party.
the "are we having a butterfly party?" killed me 😭😭😭 this kit looks terrible and sad
The effects are cool (like that one standing light and the fog) but the textures on the balloons look bad (they don't really seem like balloons to me?), the table is almost identical to the one in the base game, and the items don't really seem to fit a theme. Agree with you, not worth it.
The invisible floor cracks me up. Here's nothing for you that only costs 5000 simoleons lol.
Some swatches on that board would look great for a library build. -sincerly, someone who works at a library
everytime satch says fog machine I hear fuck machine
That's the Wicked Whims version. 😈
I dont understand why every object for different high walls need to be different object with its own icon. If they can click on counter and be able to select which piece u want, it should be possible to have only one decor object(window, etc), click on it, select which high we want and place it. We really dont need the same thing 3 times in the build mode with the basicly same icon.
A party kit drops on my birthday and it’s less exciting than how my day went, and I did literally nothing all day lmao
well happy birthday! :)
Satch! I forgot about the buffet table! EA needs to just hire you. You can help them get their crap together.
Guys the dance floor does work without other packs you just need music to be playing like with every other dance floor item in the game.
To say I'm surprised you need another $40 pack to get the full functionality of the dancefloor would be a lie. EA is scummy and notoriously pulls stuff like this. Like, genuinely the only thing that sticks out for me is the new radio and the bar because I like the look of them, other than that? This kit is very... no.
yeah, love that simple bar and the record player cabinet is cute. disco ball is fun but I'm tired of club gameplay! maybe would be great for prom but what's the point if it's just empty decor??
Thanks for actually showing how the fog machine and disco ball work in game and how the light features look in a darker setting. I've spent about half an hour scrawling through videos just for this and so many reviewers dont even bother to show how it actually looks and plays in live mode
The snacks and drinks don’t function? That’s so sad, it could’ve worked like the lunchbox for the snacks! The drink tray could’ve offered some like the other drink items do (The summer drink tray, the tea set, the punch fountain) could’ve been like juice and soda, drinks you see at parties?
The dance floor having fog is useful though. If you’re making a large club it would be weird to just have fog coming from the machines at the side of floor
Well, thank god I stopped buying stuff from EA. They lost a passionate player since childhood and a huge fan of the earlier versions of Sims (especially 2, I miss it so much. Can they re-release Castaways for PC?).
i think this pack would maybe, MAYBE, be a little less awful if the inventory system worked like how the sims 2 did. you can put any item in your sim's inventory and put it back in the house without having to go into build mode to redecorate entirely. i remember doing a similar thing for a party animal sim in the sims 2 who threw college parties, i'd have the decorations in his inventry and swap them with some of the furniture when i had to. but parties already suck in the sims 4 and having to go all the way into build mode just to decorate for a party is a lot more of a hassle than you'd think. and also the stuff in the pack isn't even very good. it's all pretty cartoonish or childish (aside from the bar and the record player stereo table, which i do actually like).
tl;dr: womp womp kits bad ea bad sims 4 bad
I actually kind of like the fog with the invisible dance floor. Not for dancing, but could use it in a spooky garden or witch's house
This looks like a pack you’d use on a community lot, specifically a recreation type build. Like in real life you’d rent out a room or something to throw a super cheap party thrown together by the mothers in the PTA haha The disco ball and the basic bar are the only things I like. 🤷🏻♀️
They should have named this pack my useless party stuff
*cries into the abyss* The butterfly wing designs are from the discarded fairies pack. If you pay attention to EA's advertising, they're putting those wing assets everywhere. Just a whole lot of random butterfly motifs for no *cough* reason.
Captain Holt demands a balloon arch!!
i agree that this pack isn't the most usable for everyday gameplay but I don't know why you said at 11:12 that the dance floor requires Get Together to function because you were using it while having every pack disabled? the only reason it wasn't working before was because you had no music playing
Putting the useless in essential 😂
I don't understand what this "dlc for dlc" rant was about. With GT dance floors you need music to dance, as well. Yes, you can dance without a dance floor. Bit it's used for telling your sims where to dance, so they don't do it around the radio as a bunch of morons 😂
there's just really no point in that, i guess. the difference is the sims will be a couple feet away from the radio. that costs you 5000 simoleons! the group dance options are what make the dance floor a dance floor. otherwise it's nothing
What is the point of having a dance floor you can't even useee😭😭 Oh wait, money yes
You can use it tho
@@veracuman9018if you have the pack it will be functionnal if not then its not so thats what she meant. Not everyone has all the packs and EA should have mentionned that, the fact that the dance floor requires a specific pack to be functionnal
It is functional!
@@malloryeilleen with the get together pack it is
@@SulsulSimmers That's not true. You can use it without the pack. You just need to turn on music.
Its giving that episode of the office when Dwight and Jim throw Kelly a birthday party
Sorry, but I am convinced that these are left overs. Ether from my wedding stories, or prom decoration from the highschool pack. They weren't ready in time, so they sell them as a kit later. They just added a poster and a few swatches and called it a day.
Despite refusing to continue to line EA's greedy pockets I still 🌚🏴☠✨collect✨🏴☠ every build kit and pack as I refuse to let their dumpster fire extortion tactics take away my favorite game and even I'M avoiding downloading it, it just looks SO underwhelming in the previews.
I can't wait to hear you give EA another thrashing Satch, I know you get a lot of complaints for doing so but it is truly so deserved while they continue to treat a 24 years strong dedicated customer/fan base so embarrassingly and your reviews are always the best part of any new pack imo
I would not recommend wasting money on these kits. Only go for the packs you actually enjoy.
I think the invisible mat/floor is if you want to have the fog affect without the lights!
The mods for this pack would be so cool to make like rainbow discoball patterns
I’m actually excited for the led lights…the home bar…the light up tv…and the record table. The concept is good but the execution is always the worst w EA😭💀
Why are the baloons really angular? 🤨 & the confetti should be a gameplay item where you pull a party popper and they scatter on the floor!
The fog dance floor might be cool to use as an environmental effect on a lot. Unless you can't place it directly on the ground without MOO.
Maybe all the butterfly themes are a nod to a possible future fairy pack?
One can only hope, but I'm keeping expectations very low.
I’m not surprised. I got the vibe it would be just a few objects (that could have been base game 10 years ago) and even those would be lacklustre and mostly non functional, and for one type of party and that’s it… a kids birthday party held in a community centre in the late 90s
“Yea but like be fr the sims is hinting the fairies pack we're getting fairies!!”
that bar and record player thing would be excellent for a retro build. I get strong 70s vibes from both. I feel like the neon sign could be useable for commercial lots, along with the fog machine and disco ball but the balloons generally don't look great (they don't look very balloon-like)and what the heck is up with the invisible dance floor that doesn't work without another pack? that's so greedy from EA and you really would think they'd have learned their lesson by now about how much that pisses people off. This pack feels very lacking, there's very little in it for your money. No gameplay elements, just decorations that you could get as custom content. That weird sign board thing looks like the seating layout boards you get at weddings, which is... weird. Shouldn't that be in the wedding pack?
just love how the wall neon shine casts a shadow
At first glance (I'm at 2:35), this reminds me of Lisa Frank 1990's timeframe. I remember this kind of aesthetic very well lol
2:43 I’m guessing it’s for sims to get pictures infront of. They seem very common at baby showers etc 😊
I wonder if the tile wall is supposed to be a photo backdrop
The signs supposed to be like a welcome sign, some parties have those or like if it’s in a big venue it’s used to show where the party actually is
The party board is usually used when a or multiple party/ies is being held in a public space and there is a lot of venues so they normally have the names of the people's party at the door - will work well at clubs and parks etc.
The poly count on the wall balloons omfg the edges on them are so pointy
