I feel like a lot of these items (I'm looking at you leather wallpaper and blackout curtains and animal prints and heart bed and...) just scream for a sort of love/woohoo hotel hahah, maybe as one of the installments of your rentals around the world series? keeping it classy, luxurious, and pg13 ofc (gotta keep that monetisation) and I did pre-order it yesterday so am looking forward to getting to try it out myself soon!
also a builder. i want a new kitchen and bath w every expansion. i think its a reasonable ask. love the concept for this pack, im stoked to get my hands on the items, but yea, more is always better! aaaand i do like kits- not the cash-grabbiness, but they really do deliver on items, and the variety/themes are nice
I too am a builder and I agree we need more matching kitchens and bathrooms too. I buy all packs and kits and some styles are still missing like Steampunk for example, we had some in 3 so I miss those items.
I appreciate your candor. As someone who doesn't own every pack, I rely on creators like yourself to be transparent so I can make an informed decision. Sometimes, there aren't a lot of positive things to mention, which is fine.
I didn't feel negative vibes while watching. I felt that you're just being honest in sharing your opinions. Your words weren't malicious. If anything, I think you were just processing your thoughts out loud. You're doing good, Ashley 😊
Its great to hear what other builders feel about a new pack or kit and I hope EA staff take notice so things missing may get added in later. Its so frustrating trying to match things up especially when they come from the same pack.
I honestly feel the same way towards everything you were saying about this pack. Expansions should definitely be more cohesive with all objects/worlds in that specific pack and I'm sure it's pretty obvious most of us in the sims community want more DECENT kitchens lol but they still don't get it. Also, it's a yes from me for more speed build content!
Agreed!! Kitchen should come with every expansion pack BARE MINIMUM! Especially from a perspective of someone with few/ limited packs. If I go through each ‘room’ in the Build/ Buy catalogue, almost each if not all of the items should have something new. I would’ve loved to see a Mexican inspired kitchen set.
I agree about the kitchen set give the builders something the sims team know there are simmers that only build they should throw you guys something everyone is saying this should be a GP
My thoughts about items like the backsplash. If they’re giving us a highly requested item in a very themed pack it really wouldn’t be too much to ask to give us at least two neutral swatches so you’re not limited on building in that certain style. It’s so annoying that they keep doing that. It was the same with the throw pillows. They were also very fancy I guess and the only way to get neutral swatches is to log into the game a certain amount of times. We’re paying so much money for a bugged game it be nice to at least get the build items done right. I’ll take what I can get but I can’t say I’m happy with the way the sims teams seem to only give us the bare minimum…
Lovestruck + Jungle Adventure + Carnaval kit would be a great combo. The carnaval kit has colorful clothes that go well with the world. jungle adventure has a kitchen and bathroom set that would compliment well the pack as well. The Latin American Bundle 😅
I think you're eloquently putting your thoughts together, it doesn't feel rambly or overly critical to me. I'd also enjoy more speed builds but I like live builds too!
Yeah Get Together was mostly a gameplay expansion but it had cohesive and beautiful items! This pack is so disconnected from item to item… I’m excited to get it to see what matches with these new items. Also, the Industrial Kit fluffy rug is the only Fluffy Rug in my heart ❤
I rarely watch speed builds, but yours are nice to watch. I loved your true thoughts on the pack. Being transparent is key to being and keep being amazing!
I like the voiceovers over the speed builds! As you said we get to listen to you talk about random stuff. Don't expect you to get too personally, but honestly happy with any rant or overshare or thoughts on things 🤷🏾♀️ sometimes I just have builds playing in the background and listen to the voiceover while I'm cooking etc so it's almost like a podcast of random stuff plus a really nice visual haha
I like the live build more than speed build. It's fun to hear others opinion and thinking when they try to match the furniture and picking colors or even when they confused about what to do. Simple words like "Ohhhhh i like this better" or "Oh? This one quite nice", "I need this color but in darker shade", "This item perfect but the swatches is..." , "I think this wallpaper is the right one- Oh nevermind", those kind of commentary are the things i love about live build. I do not hate speed build at all. I do watched some speed build videos sometimes. That's all thank you🫶🏻 An amazing video as always!
loved this in-depth discussion about this pack and packs in general. I totally agree that having items with different, sometimes conflicting styles, can be frustrating because it really does need other packs to really shine. growing together was for sure one that was a bit confusing. another great standalone pack I want to mention tho is horse ranch! much like cats and dogs every item and every lot in the world just fit the theme so well and you are able to build fully furnished lots without the need for any other pack, which is great for people who don't want to or can't afford to buy many packs. I definitely think there is a use for both of these kinds of catalogues and with this pack being more heavily play-focused rather than build and buy, I still don't mind it personally. disappointed about the lack of a kitchen set tho! for rent was definitely better in that regard. alright rambling over hahah, love the build you made and can't wait to see what you come up with in combination with other packs!
All I want is a window that looks like the high school years sneak out window but it doesn’t have any gameplay attached (so it can be placed anywhere) and it comes in a single, double, and triple wide version. That window is on every single house where I live and I want it so bad. I would pay $40 for an expansion just for that window.
I know what you saying. That is definitely the more normal type window used irl on more basic homes. Especially where I live. Why do they do this to us 😪
But you can use HSY window anywhere you want. It just says you can’t use it to sneak out if there’s no floor under it, but it will let you place the window anyway
@@chyrchhella7804 huh. For me it doesn’t let me place the window even with move objects unless there’s a floor attached on both sides. I’ll have to play around though.
I definitely agree with what you're saying im still learning with building (your channel has been a huge help and inspiration) and I've found it difficult to make some things match in certain packs its why I also use the same items or just download some cc which I don't think I should have to do especially considering I'm only missing a few packs I should have more than enough Also I think you missed a fridge in this build but I might have just missed it
the most annoying thing to me is all of the stuff for gyms and community lots rather than stuff that fits the theme of the pack for homes. like why are we getting yet another treadmill but not a single kitchen set….
Thank you for your honesty!! I feel the same way about recent expansion packs. This one comes with really cool stuff, but I wouldn't call it an EP. I'll wait for a sale to get it.
It would be nice to get kitchen sets for every EP. But, for those area-focused areas like Lovestruck (in this case, Mexico), it would have been nice to get some new kitchen stuff.
the catalog thing is so real, it needs a refresh! i have all packs too so the catalog gets REALLY big and makes it hard to find some stuff, specially when i have to search "pyramids of absorptions" to find a stack of towels! like, a lot of things have to be changed in this catalog fr...
As a non builder I like EP's for the new worlds and the new gameplay. I also like to decorate so I do tend to like the new items. The problem is that lately there hasn't been a lot of new gameplay in the most recent EP's. For Rent was great for builders but not so great for gameplay (in fact broken). I know I'll get the new pack but I do wish they had added more Mexican themed items (Piñata, Day of the Dead items, etc) as well as new gym equipment since they hyped up the gym so much. A day of the dead event could have been really good (but not super romantic)
I'm not a fully builder simmer. (I play, a lot, but have my building moments.) For the kitchen set: YES. This EP comes with so many bars and back bars but honestly? I could create a pretty backbar with a decent kitchen set. I do like the items in the EP (also the fluffy rug made me think of you and Emma Nicole, fluffy rug lovers!) For the build stuffs, it's scattered around just like Growing Together. And I completely understand the idea that it's not that valuable. I think since it comes with a world, I wish we would have more Build items in the pack that make sense. And the buy items should be enough to have one complete house in the theme of the EP. And also: items with gameplay. I'm not just a builder, I build to play. And so many of the items are cool alone but if you are or not a builder, you don't want to think completely out of the box everytime and players want something they're sure they'll use and can play with (especially when it's expensive). Not a 100th bar. At least give me the kitchen set that goes with that bar. 😭 I like speedbuilds podcast kind of. Especially big builds! Would love the occasional commentary on the build itself though if you are very proud of one thing in the build for example
I would’ve loved to see you use more of the floral wall papers & different kitchen tiles. Overall good build. Hopefully your experience about the pack changes as you combine this pack with the other packs
I so agree with you on everything you said. Kitchen set in every EP! Yes. I mean. It should be a given. I do love everything I saw for now. I pre-ordered it as soon as it came out :)
I agree with you, I rather have 10 kits but like courtyard oasis quality or special items such as the industrial loft style, as a builder I just play building so the rest not really important as long as i can use some basic functions. I would like to see more architecture style
I stand with you, however justice for more kitchen & bathroom sets. Im a builder and variety even in the simple items never hurts. I feel this pack would match really well with the style of the “Decor to the Max” kit and the gameplay of the new “Bistro” kit. These days with sims it feels like you take what you can get. FINALLY , for the love of sims we need an updated organized menu log. I build so much I know where certain debug items are and I STILL get overwhelmed in build mode and I have half the catalog memorized!
Love the speed build talking about the new pack. Agree with you that this pack seems to be designed to work well if you have lots of other dlc but not so great for base game only builds. I'll probably get it eventually on sale, until then I'll live vicariously through you lol.
I like the speed builds, especially in this case when talking about a new pack. I think agree that this is a pack for people who already have lots of other content, not great for base game only builds but I think it will work really well with everything else. I'll wait for a sale first though!
I agree with everything you said about the new pack.. I also agree that I would love to see more videos like this.. I love to see your builds since you are such a talented builder.. I enjoy how you build with neutral colors since that is also my taste..
I think overall, kits aside, expansions just need to come with more. Period. I think first and foremost the gameplay in an expansion needs to be game-changing and cross pack compatible. But secondly, build/buy needs to be COMPLETE and cohesive. 100% agree that a full kitchen set should be a requirement for an expansion. Tbh, I think you should be able to create an ENTIRE build with a new expansion, with the exception of a few things like toilets and trash cans you can use from base game.
I saw many videos about people in Korea, especially Seoul, living in tiny rooftop apartments. It is literally just a box on top of a high building, for cheap living! Maybe that could be an idea for a build challenge for you, just try to search for it on youtube! Also, wonderful build as always. You are one of my comfort youtubers ❤
i love speed builds that get used as a chance to talk about unrelated stuff but i need them to have a tour at the end! not gonna lie i space out during the speed build part but i will rewind and rewatch just to see the end tour.
the style of the items are gorgeous, the world style is beautiful, the items we do have seem nice... but it's all just so lacking. no new kitchen set, uninspiring lots that don't reach the sidewalks, not cohesive, penthouses but no apartments in a downtown area... its like they hear us and deliberately make choices they know won't go over well lol. no one wants to pay $40 for an EP that feels so unfinished with BB items that feel like multiple unfinished kits
I can totally understand being disappointed if you’re a builder with this pack. They have to provide items for more than one style and different venues and that can feel like it lacks cohesiveness. I think a kitchen set would’ve been more appropriate for like growing together over this pack. I agree build section is a bit cluttered and could use more categories. Like hanging lights need to have short, medium, and tall height sections.
This pack gives me Christian Grey vibes. I do agree with you about expansion packs it should be an all out pack I should be able to almost complete a house you know. Also I found that the packs get famous is a good pack, moschino, get together dine out is very good
I just want to mention that I used the Lovestruck shower window all around an Industrial home recently as they tile together or apart as well. I didnt do it on purpose I was looking at all windows and they looked the best 🙂
It would be interesting to compare the amount of build buy items you would get on average in an expansion compared to the equivalent value amount of kits.
I agree with you on the expansion packs. I think they should come with a full house of build/buy items. I don't mean new toilets or in-counter sinks, but they should have either a whole house build/buy or more than 1 style, like High School Years gave us. I also am getting a bit more disappointed with the offerings in the expansion packs.
Oh, and I am both a builder and a fashion bug. I love CAS and Build/Buy, but I get really bored with the actual play, so remember us non-game play peeps too, please.
I only buy packs for the builds and the game play. I like to live in different places. Also the homes/apartments on the gallery are made using multiple. So i need all the packs for the gallery builds! 🥰
Love your thoughts and love the build. I do think you missed the fridge in the kitchen though. Love your content and I always look forward to your videos
I donated as I just started watching your videos and did not use your code for my recent purchase of the life and death expansion. Loving your builds btw
Maybe you can get a idea of mixing looking at the LA's Corta Paredes Arquitectos, the guy go filming the renovation of many houses through LA that have similar vibes to the new pack.
as a builder i agree every expansion pack should have a new kitchen (as for bathrooms i don't think it's necessary to have one with every pack) as far as this pack goes there is a disconnect in the style of the items and you can't really make a full living room with the items we were given - i will say there are a lot of beautiful pieces in here that i will definitely be using a lot but compared to other expansion packs i'm disappointed in the items we received (i'm also a little disappointed we didn't get any actual apartments and a few more lots would've been nice)
I own every pack (RIP my bank balance) so I have all of the options in game and still fully 100% believe that in every EP there should be a full kitchen, at least 1 single and 1 double bed and a bathroom set. In every pack that gives us a 3-seater sofa, there should be a matching love seat and armchair (and vice versa!). I'm actually furious that there's no 3-seater in this EP, and the armchairs don't have anything to match with them. If you've only got this and base game then it's even worse, the chairs are basically unusable in some swatches because there's nothing to match them to. You should be able to build a good house with mainly new content every time you play with a new EP without relying on tired Base Game options to pad it out.
I'm waiting for you to do apt or penthouse builds. in city living or any new world. Since the new base game update where you can build residential rentals on top of penthouses. Now therefore creating your own apartment building. So I would be excited to see what you create. especially in San Myshuno
I know SydMac does some cool build gameplay challenges. Maybe you could play through the new career and build a house with the unlockable furniture or all the money you make from gameplay goes towards a cool build. Something that is still build heavy to feel true to your channel but incorporates gameplay could be really cool. But whatever excites you! Love the build btw and I totally agree with your sentiments.
@@avaschaefer6656black widow challenge would fit so well with this pack hahah, maybe even as a rag to riches type thing where you start in a run-down little house and "work" your way up? and using the romance guru career to evade suspicion lol
I really appreciate the way you promoted your creator code 🥹🥹 I always like to see how creators go about it, but I love the transparency and honestly, will definitely use yours in the future 💗
What content do you want to see with the new pack? ❤ PS. Are you going to buy the pack? 😊
Maybe a French bakery like with the doors and windows also the tile and lamps from the outside!
Vacation rental for like honeymoon or wedding lot
This expansion isn't for me. I don't care about the game play of this pack and the build and buy isn't enough for me.
My favourite tile is city living I think, it's a huge tile, but only two swatches.
I feel like a lot of these items (I'm looking at you leather wallpaper and blackout curtains and animal prints and heart bed and...) just scream for a sort of love/woohoo hotel hahah, maybe as one of the installments of your rentals around the world series? keeping it classy, luxurious, and pg13 ofc (gotta keep that monetisation)
and I did pre-order it yesterday so am looking forward to getting to try it out myself soon!
also a builder. i want a new kitchen and bath w every expansion. i think its a reasonable ask. love the concept for this pack, im stoked to get my hands on the items, but yea, more is always better! aaaand i do like kits- not the cash-grabbiness, but they really do deliver on items, and the variety/themes are nice
I too am a builder and I agree we need more matching kitchens and bathrooms too. I buy all packs and kits and some styles are still missing like Steampunk for example, we had some in 3 so I miss those items.
I appreciate your candor. As someone who doesn't own every pack, I rely on creators like yourself to be transparent so I can make an informed decision. Sometimes, there aren't a lot of positive things to mention, which is fine.
I didn't feel negative vibes while watching. I felt that you're just being honest in sharing your opinions. Your words weren't malicious. If anything, I think you were just processing your thoughts out loud. You're doing good, Ashley 😊
Its great to hear what other builders feel about a new pack or kit and I hope EA staff take notice so things missing may get added in later. Its so frustrating trying to match things up especially when they come from the same pack.
I agree, ever EP should have a kitchen!!! I was really looking forward to a Mexican style kitchen and I was heartbroken when there wasn't one
Yeah I mean I guess jungle adventure kitchen will go well but still would have been nice to have that
I honestly feel the same way towards everything you were saying about this pack. Expansions should definitely be more cohesive with all objects/worlds in that specific pack and I'm sure it's pretty obvious most of us in the sims community want more DECENT kitchens lol but they still don't get it. Also, it's a yes from me for more speed build content!
Agreed!! Kitchen should come with every expansion pack BARE MINIMUM! Especially from a perspective of someone with few/ limited packs. If I go through each ‘room’ in the Build/ Buy catalogue, almost each if not all of the items should have something new. I would’ve loved to see a Mexican inspired kitchen set.
I think you forgot the fridge😭 LOOOVEE the build tho❤
I agree about the kitchen set give the builders something the sims team know there are simmers that only build they should throw you guys something everyone is saying this should be a GP
My thoughts about items like the backsplash. If they’re giving us a highly requested item in a very themed pack it really wouldn’t be too much to ask to give us at least two neutral swatches so you’re not limited on building in that certain style. It’s so annoying that they keep doing that. It was the same with the throw pillows. They were also very fancy I guess and the only way to get neutral swatches is to log into the game a certain amount of times. We’re paying so much money for a bugged game it be nice to at least get the build items done right. I’ll take what I can get but I can’t say I’m happy with the way the sims teams seem to only give us the bare minimum…
Lovestruck + Jungle Adventure + Carnaval kit would be a great combo. The carnaval kit has colorful clothes that go well with the world. jungle adventure has a kitchen and bathroom set that would compliment well the pack as well. The Latin American Bundle 😅
Jungle adventure is such an underrated pack. The gameplay and the build items are incredible
I got Jungle Adventure and Carnaval kit for free on epic games, so now I only need to buy Lovestruck 😅
@@Ashley-cr4ow I honestly love it so much. I wish it was a residential world
I think you're eloquently putting your thoughts together, it doesn't feel rambly or overly critical to me. I'd also enjoy more speed builds but I like live builds too!
I love your honesty!! And I agree with everything you said. Thank god we still have simtubers who keep it real🫶🏻
Agree. Expansion packs should definitely have a kitchen set every time
I think high school years compliments part of the build/buy really well since they both have some art deco vibes
Yeah Get Together was mostly a gameplay expansion but it had cohesive and beautiful items! This pack is so disconnected from item to item… I’m excited to get it to see what matches with these new items.
Also, the Industrial Kit fluffy rug is the only Fluffy Rug in my heart ❤
The decor is very Mexican though because Mexico has drastic things like modern city style and old Mexican style

This is the most mature take on kits. I never understood the kit hate. I spend $5 on dumber less tangible things every day!

I just want to mention that I used the Lovestruck shower window all around an Industrial home recently as they tile together or apart as well. I didnt do it on purpose I was looking at all windows and they looked the best 🙂
i would love to see more speed builds from you.
It would be interesting to compare the amount of build buy items you would get on average in an expansion compared to the equivalent value amount of kits.
I agree with you on the expansion packs. I think they should come with a full house of build/buy items. I don't mean new toilets or in-counter sinks, but they should have either a whole house build/buy or more than 1 style, like High School Years gave us. I also am getting a bit more disappointed with the offerings in the expansion packs.
Oh, and I am both a builder and a fashion bug. I love CAS and Build/Buy, but I get really bored with the actual play, so remember us non-game play peeps too, please.
I only buy packs for the builds and the game play. I like to live in different places. Also the homes/apartments on the gallery are made using multiple. So i need all the packs for the gallery builds! 🥰
Love your thoughts and love the build. I do think you missed the fridge in the kitchen though. Love your content and I always look forward to your videos
Thanks
I donated as I just started watching your videos and did not use your code for my recent purchase of the life and death expansion. Loving your builds btw
omg thank you so much!!!
Wow! You manage to do the impossible. So many patterns, I had no idea how to make it look decent.
Thank you! 😊
Maybe you can get a idea of mixing looking at the LA's Corta Paredes Arquitectos, the guy go filming the renovation of many houses through LA that have similar vibes to the new pack.
Kitchen back splash kit is something I would pay for lol
Saying hi from the cracking the cryptic channel !!!
@@ololreyalple thank you for stopping by ❤️
My understanding is that the penthouses can be residential rentals.
as a builder i agree every expansion pack should have a new kitchen (as for bathrooms i don't think it's necessary to have one with every pack) as far as this pack goes there is a disconnect in the style of the items and you can't really make a full living room with the items we were given - i will say there are a lot of beautiful pieces in here that i will definitely be using a lot but compared to other expansion packs i'm disappointed in the items we received (i'm also a little disappointed we didn't get any actual apartments and a few more lots would've been nice)
I think this pack might go well with strangerville and horse ranch- mexico, Texas, and New Mexico!
I own every pack (RIP my bank balance) so I have all of the options in game and still fully 100% believe that in every EP there should be a full kitchen, at least 1 single and 1 double bed and a bathroom set. In every pack that gives us a 3-seater sofa, there should be a matching love seat and armchair (and vice versa!). I'm actually furious that there's no 3-seater in this EP, and the armchairs don't have anything to match with them. If you've only got this and base game then it's even worse, the chairs are basically unusable in some swatches because there's nothing to match them to. You should be able to build a good house with mainly new content every time you play with a new EP without relying on tired Base Game options to pad it out.
I'm waiting for you to do apt or penthouse builds. in city living or any new world. Since the new base game update where you can build residential rentals on top of penthouses. Now therefore creating your own apartment building. So I would be excited to see what you create. especially in San Myshuno
Is the kitchen missing a fridge? 😭😂
I was waiting on your build ‼️‼️‼️👌🏽
The penthouse looks great! But you forgot the fridge. 😊
always a pleasure watching you. You videos always bring me joy and happiness. Love love love your work. Also what happen to the refrigerator? Lol😂❤😂❤
Wow I love it!!! Do you use any reshade?
beautiful build!
I love your build style my sims love in your builds alot
Excited for this!!
Love this! Will this be on the gallery soon?
Can you make a build that looks like everyday items like a book,staplers, bars of chocolates. ❤
We'll probably get a Mexican city inspired kitchen kit soon lol
You slayed like always I love the hints of green and gold! I wish I could live here lol I’m broke. Do you have another series coming out soon?!?!?
Lovely build! Will you be doing any gameplay with the new pack?
I’m down!! What would you like to see 🥰
I know SydMac does some cool build gameplay challenges. Maybe you could play through the new career and build a house with the unlockable furniture or all the money you make from gameplay goes towards a cool build. Something that is still build heavy to feel true to your channel but incorporates gameplay could be really cool. But whatever excites you! Love the build btw and I totally agree with your sentiments.
@@avaschaefer6656black widow challenge would fit so well with this pack hahah, maybe even as a rag to riches type thing where you start in a run-down little house and "work" your way up? and using the romance guru career to evade suspicion lol
@@kapsican so this is gameplay I need to see… because brilliant
Yay new video ❤❤
Really cool build as always but… did u mean to not add a fridge or did I just not see it? 🤔
I could not find this build on the EA Gallery last night.. 😢
Have you gotten a pet clinic and played as a veterinarian???? Pls make a pet cliclic
It's a beautiful build but where is the fridge for the kitchen? 🙈
@@MrsBradford omg lolol I forgot it!!!! 🫨
Not to hype the kits, but desert luxe might be nice
What is that witchcraft with the fence on 3:10???
if you delete every 2. tile, you get a normal😅 looking fence 😊
😅 you can get a new full, high quality furniture set (super matchy-matchy) for $0 … if you play on PC
I am confused why apartments (not including For Rent) gives you more flexibility to penthouse in terms of color and matching the existing building.
We miss you , you never put some on gallery anymore 😢
❤
Slightly disappointed with this pack. There are a few items I like, but not crazy about the game play either 😕.
Can you do twitch streams again?🫶🏻
Sims has been sorely lacking and missing their mark for a while now imo. Even with new life and death imo.
I really appreciate the way you promoted your creator code 🥹🥹 I always like to see how creators go about it, but I love the transparency and honestly, will definitely use yours in the future 💗
I love your build style my sims love in your builds alot
