no stuff pack will ever compare to paranormal stuff its truly one of the best packs in the game
Your not wrong
One of the only things I do in Sims 4 anymore, the ghosts and seances are just so fun
And I use the build stuff in all of my build!!
I haven’t played with that pack much but going to now that I’ve seen these comments. 😊
Ngl I forgot that pack existed. I never played with that, I just use the build items. 😅
I wonder why they didn't just make a general kitchen expansion pack ... where you can make your own icecream, sell waffles and have your own restaurant ... oh wait, I know why 😅
If you have "Get to Work" you can already do that. Heck, with the selling tables that are in debug and with other packs, you can already sell the food, just can't use the small appliances on another lot.
@@nedrane297they were saying that EA was cash grabby
I think most of the time they don't plan ahead and rushed their DLCs, that's why the game ended up with a lot of samey themed DLCs. We had multiple DLC that revolves around cooking, taking care of environment, etc...
You can already make your own ice cream with the ice cream machine.
Or dine update with all this stuff added in.
And why does everything look so blurryy
I think this is the first criminal DLC for them. Underground restaurants or such, bypassing food safety regulations.
I really miss how unhinged the other sims games were, especially 2/3. Sims 4 is just too wannabe family friendly
Wish they had updated the freelancer careers, Like some kind of catering would have been nice
agree. but that’s too ambitious for the sims team to actually do
There's a mod for this! Freelance chef by ADeepIndigio
They don't even think about this when they brainstorm on what should be added. No one at that table thought of your genius idea :(
One thing that frustrated me is that you can't order any of the new pizzas or sell them in restaurants. I had been planning on opening a pizzeria with the dineout mod but I guess thats out the window...
I was wondering if the new food would be available in restaurant menu. We will have to wait for modders complete EA job.
And the fact that you can't make the pizza that you can order on the phone??? I wanted more pizza options so it sucks that you can't do it.
I still don't understand why we can't order more than one pizza either :/ @@do_it_like_rei
It’s so sad that you weren’t even planning to attempt to open a pizzeria with the actual game/expansion… but knew you needed the mod instead 😭
@@augusto7681I swear they halfazz 💩 cause they know our amazing modders will just finish their job for them. Like how long have the nannies not taken care of the kids been an issue…yet they never fixed it we had to wait for one of our hero modders to clean up their mess.
I'm glad you mentioned the past selling tables and how similar Home Chef Hustle's table is a rehash of those. Most reviewers made sure to skim over it, or didn't mention it at all.
You can sell food from those tables too but this new one differs in the following ways:
1) with this one sims by portions of food like slices of pizza when you put out a box instead of the whole thing.
2) with this one they eat whatever they buy in front of you. The old stands they would just buy like a whole box of pizza and then it would be gone.
3) Because they eat in front of the stand and will sit down on chairs and seating if you place them nearby especially if they are picnic tables, they can also be affected by the food you sell in mass and sometimes there will be custom buffs. For example, someone sold poor quality pufferfish nigiri and they killed several sims and then got a buff saying they were an agent of chaos. This also works for things like potions and selling plasma and meat to werewolves and vampires.
4) You can cook on the stand with the appliances that came with the pack and several other appliances like the ice cream maker
5) You can name the stand and also choose a custom icon for your stand now, I don't think you could do that with the old ones
6) The old ones will be manned by random npc sims selling stuff if you put them down on the community spaces that came with eco-lifestyle. That doesn't happen with this stand.
Stop whinning karen
@@BeautyQueen2023X What does that even mean in this context lmao
I just hate how the aspirations are locked to pizzas and waffles.. what if I wanna sell something else and still have an aspiration to match my desire to run my own food stand?? Why couldn’t it have been a generic ”sell producrs of perfect quality” instead for example ”pizza of perfect quality”
You can always change out the aspiration during gameplay? I do it all the time
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 nah but I wish the aspirations was more about making it big using the home chef food stand rather than specifially making it big selling pizzas and waffles to make it a more versatile and useable aspirations
THIIS👏
@@ViceCityExtra Stop whinning Karen
Something you forgot to mention in your review which I think is important. If you have seasons you basically can not sell anything in most worlds most of the time. It won't let you make stuff in the rain which is annoying.
I holed up in the inside of the rec centre in San Sequoia and that worked, my home lot it was snowing, so I thought I'll go another world, and it was raining there lol, so I just moved a table and set up in the canteen, got quite a few traffic that way lol. Oasis Springs should be a good best when it's raining everywhere else though lol, I'm just going to move around the worlds to find the best weather, I have families in each world, so I can load into their lot if needed to find the best weather lol! :D
Guess it's kinda realistic but yes, it's annoying. 😂
‘I know what you simmers will be saying. Omg cupcake beanie. But really. It’s awful’
I love your reviews 😂😂😂
Thank you for actually being real and not over exaggerating your excitement like other simmers do💀 I swear so many sims 4 TH-camrs act excited over every little thing and it’s usually not that serious
Some are in EA's pocket >_>
Why do I immediately think of Simsie from your comment😂😅
@@BelgianDude that’s who I was referring to honestly 😭 idk why she gets excited over the smallest things like it’s truly something game changing
Simsie is the poster child of EA shillery. 😂
Well, I don't think that they are lying to us. I'm also excited about new things added to one of my favorite games. Why do not be happy with small things after all? It's making life nicer.
Satch Sims 4 Reviews = The only reviews I actually value and trust. (No pressure Satch 😂)
Unpopular opinion - this could've been a gameplay kit (with just the pizza maker, waffle maker, stand mixer, and food stand) but the community responded so negatively to the last one & they knew we've been wanting stuff packs to return so they bloated it with unnecessary cas & bb to justify the price.
The cas may be underwhelming (but I love the earrings), but the kitchen is fantastic! Charming modern kitchen. So I don't feel like they are "bloated." It's just so nice to see a good stuff pack. I like the concept of paranormal stuff, but I never play with that sort of thing.
@@Aline_ArtStudio I don't know about the swatches though, the red looks super weird! I also hate those corner cabinets. I do love the worktop though and the general style of them, I'm glad we've got more kitchen BB things
$10 isn't even that expensive, dunno why people act like it is.
Yep I love the kitchen and new appliances :) the earrings and necklances are cute too. @@Aline_ArtStudio
@@RedRoseSeptember22 it’s been very normalized but currently to buy all dlc for sims it’s $1,200 + alone, an extra $10 when the pack is half redundant is not worth it.
You can interact with a cook book. And also when it's raining the appliances break. I wish they put something above them for protection.
A food truck/camper "stall" would have been the answer to that issue.
Interacting with the cookbook really needs an animation tho. At the very least something like sim turning a page and then going to fridge. Otherwise it is still nothing but a clutter item, not a gameplay object. Not even mentioning learning new recipes or expanding the recipe list with cookbook so it actually would have a purpose🙄
is the cook book included together with this pack?
Can you put it under an awning or inside a building in a park or an eco community lot?
Honestly, fear of what this pack will do to my townies is one of the biggest reasons I don't want it
“The blue waffle” I’m dying. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They should've made aprons a gameplay feature similar to "no shoes" sign in Snowy Escape. Like, we could hang an apron on the wall and click something like "Put on aprons while cooking"
Also, I'm surprised at CAS. They put so little stuff but honestly idk how many items they add for a SP in general. They really could have made an appliances-only gameplay kit imo
I’ll be honest, I feel like a different team worked on this one. Idk why. It’s overall a nice pack, I’ll admit it. Do wish there was another counter and cabinet set. But it’s fine.
A different team indeed worked on this pack! This pack is from their European team.
@@TheOrangeHeliumohhhhh it definitely shows. The vibe was different.
I honestly think if they're gonna do a kitchen stuff pack there should have been 2 kitchen sets. I feel like these look really similar to a set we've already got.
Someone grew up during the "I dare you to Google blue waffle" era 💀
Your little co host in the background was such a good guest 🥹
I bought it the second it was ready to be downloaded, I actually really like the pack, it’s nice to have a modern kitchen where the fridge fits and love the new dishwasher and sink, it’s very different to the other kitchens
The first time I used the food stall I dragged the waffle maker onto it and it broke instantly due to the rain 😂🤦🏻♂
This doggo behind you 🤩🤩🤩🤩 so cute
Great vid Satch, as always 💙🙏
I love this pack, but I'm getting a bit tired of everything we do related to shopping and selling in the game being done through stalls (excluding GTW retail shops).
Been waiting on your review Satch! ❤
I love the doggo in the background
Have just started watching the video. Just wanted to say that the dog is adorable 🥰
DOGGO in the background :)
Thank you for getting this out so quickly! I had been waiting eagerly for your review haha
Thank you for the great review. Unfortunately, it did convince me to buy the pack. 😂
Thank you for your support! I’m glad you enjoyed the review even if you didn’t buy it
Not the stall name being "The blue waffle" 😭
I enjoy crafting and selling. So, this SP seems great for me! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I feel like this should of been with cool kitchen. You only get 1 appliance in that pack. What is actually cool about it?
Lmfaoooo
As a console player im definitely getting this one
1:35 I will get this eventually, but I am seriously considering getting it sooner rather than later specifically for this hairstyle. That won’t be the deciding factor and as I said, I do plan to get it eventually, but still that hairstyle stands out.
That corner shelf instead of a corner cabinet is so cursed! Never seen a real life kitchen like that. I really wish they didn’t do that.
Your review is all I need❤
I actually am thankful for the outfits I have Dine Out and now I can create more default clothing options for the restaurant/cafe. Staff. I actually hate all the other clothes except for the chef clothes in Dine out.
In my restaurant the cloths offten reset to that default one the offer as starting point. Do you have this problem ?
I didn’t even think about that!
Yep a lot of the clothes will make cool uniforms for restaurants.
Nope@@augusto7681
The cas is great for simmers without dine out or cool kitchen
I was literally waiting for this
Never heard of this pack and will not pay any more $$$ for things that should've been base game!
This! ^
The dog in the backround was really cute!
Satch, i love when you say "Refrigerador", it always makes my day!
All of the clutter is probably in a future kit 😂
i just got this and i love it! i bought 5 dlc's plus the free romantic garden for Christmas. i only had $50 to spend, and it fit right in the budget. and i got everything on sale to boot!
I actually looove the kitchen set and I usually don’t like modern stuff
I would've preferred more old pack refreshes. Honestly if they did those more often, I'd buy more kits. I stopped buying them out of spite lol. Haven't decided if I'm getting this pack yet. I kinda wanna see what they're doing next
i feel like it could have been an opportunity to bring back game kit, since the cas and build aren’t that new. love the comeback of stuff packs, but just don’t think this was the best theme for it
Im content with just the Cool Kitchen stuff pack tbh (i rly liked the counters and cabinets), but ngl the ice cream machine got boring in less than a few minutes, and i quickly forgot about it. So most likely I would've completely forgot about this stuff pack on day 1 of getting it (which im not). I forget pizza even existed in the base game because i never order it. Should've basically been the update to Cool Kitchen. Thank you for looking over the pack!
Naming the stand "Blue Waffle" was funny xD
Omg, yhe dog in the background is adorable
I forgot everything you said, I was too busy waiting for the puppy to show back up in the video. I will have to watch it again lol.
1:00 that jumpsuit with the striped undershirt is the most cursed item in this pack in my opinion
Finally a fade!
My First Home Chef Hustle Stuff, I laugh whenever you try to say that!! 🤣❤
I really do love cooking in game, collecting all recipes (THAT YOU STILL CAN'T TRACK). I love meal prepping and frugal living and really think this goes well with the boho/homesteader style I love to play
Awww the dog in the background
I wish this was just a cool kitchen stuff update or something. How much more kitchen themed stuff do we need?.. also. The little Doge in the background is so cute
Your laughs kill me 😂
Spat my drink out when I saw the name of the food stall 😂
Preparing and selling food reminds me a lot of Sims 2 Open for Business and selling food from display fridge
Thanks for detailed review bro
Great review Satch!
Heheh cute little shiba in the background 🥺
Cute Shiba Inu in the background❤
Satch, your reviews are always so spot on and realistic and full of common sense. Like Sims Team, execute your ideas well and not to the bear minimum
Also I have to say Satch you are looking so fit, strong, and healthy, great efforts and keep it up, so proud of you and excited to see you continuing to improve/take care of yourself/become your best self
I have to admit, almost all my attention was taken by the beautiful, cute doggy next to Satch :D
I cant concéntrate with your beautiful dog. So cute ❤
At this point I'm jaded, I've checked out and I could not care less what EA Games/TS4 releases or chooses to do next. I watch for your sense of humor, your snark, your giggle and your overall personality. It feels like I'm getting good gossip from a friend back home who still talks to people I haven't seen in years. lol
I love your reviews Satch. But I think I love that dog more 😍
I say again, the whisk looks like a noose.
The counters look a whole lot like the Into The Future set from Sims 3.
I guess I'm one of the few people who likes the Cool Kitchen furniture.
The only difference I can seen in the stall is that you can bring your appliances. But in my head, without playing this pack, it makes more sense to have the food already cooked and then sell it on the stand because of the time it takes to sell things on a stand. So the difference is that you can cook with these small appliances at the stall itself. But that is really unrealistic. If you are going to set up a stand like that most of your food is going to already be cooked and you just sell it. Which is the way the retail system works. What seems to set this apart really is that they actually eat the food after buying it. That's the really big thing, so go back to Get to Work and replace all the bakery displays with this to have a truly functional bakery/restaurant because they will then buy and eat the food. I guess I find it really sad that it took them what? 9 years to fix it so they will eat what they buy when sold by your sim.
Wait. The food goes bad on the table? Ok so when I tested out the selling tables that we already have in game, the food acted as though it were in a fridge and didn't go bad. It goes bad on this one?
No, no, no. Two weeks ago, before the update, I had a sim that sold drinks and food from the yard sale tables. It worked, it was not locked out. I think I used the ones from that concert thing that is available in debug. If you want to use it easily, just make a tiny room with just the table on it so you can add it to any lot. The only difference in this one is that you can have the small appliances with you, but like I said thats unrealistic really.
The only thing in this pack that is special is the appliances really, and truly its the mixer since it works for recipies other than what comes with the pack.
sweet doggo on background🐶
I spotted a doggo, instantly a great vid✨
Get a life, plz.
The only sims reviewer I trust
OMG you have a shiba? I have two. We’re all watching this video right now on my tv and my dog was going crazy seeing yours lol
The dog 👏🏽💖💖🫣
That is literally the prettiest Doggy I've ever seen!!! 🥰🤩 But also I Agree best kitchen, but a blah pack 😒
That cute shibe behind you ❤
That dog is so cute
“The Blue Waffle” though?! *gags* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I put my stand at San Myshuno. Some stands pop up, so my stand disappears in my family inventory. I found it, but the pizza oven, and all the pizzas made vanished in the Great Void. + i bought flour to make drought, and the flour were not reconized. Yes, two bugs in ten minutes. Nice job, EA
your dog 💕💕
There is a mod override that makes your sims always seat down when eating. Love that mod
Satch What is the little doggy's name🥺🙏🏼
Idk if it is just me but this stuff pack is good and has good quality objects and stuff but it just feels a bit lackluster like there isn't as much gameplay as paranormal and has as much as like nifty knitting. I feel like people are just excited because it comes with a new kitchen set and there hasn't been a stuff pack for 3 years. I just thought that since there hasn't been a stuff pack for 3 years there would be like loads of new gameplay and lots of new stuff. I am happy with the pack its just I think they should have take a different theme instead of cooking like hobbies or something like that.
This hat looks like a cute, happy knitted poop. That's all I wanted to say. 🤗
I think this was going to be a kit and they bumped it up a bit with some counters because they knew the community wanted stuff packs back
Omg this!
9/10 playthroughs - only cooking and eating Garden Salad
With the base game update for this pack, can you use the old yard sale table and sell food now? Or do you have to get this pack for that feature?
It’s basically a base game update being upselled for $10.
So listen to me! It’s ok to gameplay items split in packs ok? Ok! The nectar making (although recycled from Eco Lifestyle) works great for Horse Ranch! But splitting appliances? Movie hangout for popcorn, cool kitchen stuff for ice cream machine and this cool kitchen-dine out-city living pack for 3 more?! Especially when they are the selling point. If there was ONE pack focused on the appliances it would’ve been ok. Imagine a pack with waffle, mixer, oven, popcorn, ice cream, maybe a crepe maker, a hand mixer, air fryer, deep fryer or blender. This could possibly worth the money (if it worked ofc because EA could never make something that is not broken)
DO NOT FALL FOR THE HYPE THAT YOU NEED THIS TABLE TO SELL FOOD
Ok, I made a comment but I just want to emphasize again in a separate one that you CAN sell food on the existing tables that are in the game, you just can't use the small appliances on the existing tables. But if you make food and then put it on the tables that came with the concert thing that are in debug, you can sell food and drinks. I haven't tried on the other table, but I will do that soon and add a comment to this one if it works. Don't fall for this being the only way to sell food in the game, with those existing debug tables you can do it in basegame without even buying another pack.
Just tested with the Jungle Adventure table and the Eco Living table and you can sell food on those tables too. Just do "View Inventory" drag the food or drink into the new window, the click "Stock Table" and start a sale. It works for food. Do not fall for needing this table to sell the food. You only need this new table to bring the small appliances. AND when I put the food in the inventory for the table, it acted like a fridge setting the times for the cupcakes from 24 hours on the counter to 16 days in the table inventory, same sort of thing for a drink made on a bar.
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT FALL FOR THE HYPE THAT YOU NEED THIS TABLE TO SELL FOOD
Yeha you can sell them but townies won’t actually sit and eat anything they buy from you and that’s what I am looking forward to. I’ll get this one on sale prob
@@dalkayI'm not saying don't buy it, but they keep talking as though this is the only table that sells food, and its not. So if someone is buying just to sell, don't get cheated.
Omg it's the meme dog in your background
you naming the food shop “The Blue Waffle” has me screaming
Is that a Shiba? Is it yours? What is his/her name? 🤩
Another kitchen pack.? Omg, give me the grim reaper and cars, real spooky stuff! No wonder I have not bought anything I awhile. Well, years.
I’m here for the pizza earrings.
I wish they’d stop with the small hyper realism packs and just go to things like medieval pack, 1970s pack, other countries, other decades.
We should be able to turn off the cell phones and have wall phones and be able to make it whatever year we want.
Instead they’re like “that thing you all have yo do? Cook? Yeah here’s 8 more ways to cook
I kind of like slice of life but I do wish they’d offer more out there packs for people who are fans of it
So what about the mixer bursting into flames? Like I get it’s an appliance but that is the last one I could see bursting into flames on its own, plus if it does catch fire it can’t be extinguished due to routing issues
It's a shame that they didn't take more time for the CAS but especially the Build/Buy because there was so much potential for more decor, like you said.
I am now referring to Sport Mode Crocs as Turbo Mode Crocs from this moment on
That shiba in the back 🥺
