They were getting so good at stuff packs too. Nifty Knitting, Tiny Living, and Paranormal are top tier
Agree
That's exactly the three I have haha
I'd say laundry day is close to top tier too, but that one is very subjective to what people want in their game. I agree with everything u said!!
I would love more like ‘hobby kits’
@@erina2600 YES definitely!
I'd seriously rather have more stuff packs than kits. The last few stuff packs were also seriously amazing!
I know kits are only 5 bucks, but it would be nice to be able to add them to bundles for a cheaper price than bundles usually are. With no more stuff packs being made I'm running out of stuff packs to add to bundles lol. There are still a few I want, but there are 3 or 4 that I'm just not interested in buying. Most of the kits I would use, but I can't justify buying them all for 5 bucks a piece when you don't get much in them. 3 kits would be 15 bucks and still wouldn't have quite as much altogether as a single stuff pack does.
@@ville666sora I would get kits for MAYBE a dollar- you can get whats in the kits and more from custom content for FREE and a lot of modders add so much gameplay for *FREE* (i do get the pain of console players but thats a different issue)
😂 tell me other lie y’all always complains about stuff packs
@@LeonorIsabel thats true but look at how much we complain about kits lol so they're saying stuff packs > kits, and everyone hates kits lmao
Recent stuff packs feel halfway between game packs and kits, earlier stuff packs feel like expensive kits with worse items/gameplay
Hear me out. Instrument stuff pack. Maybe I’m biased as a musician but I would love to have a pack where there were more options to use than just the piano, microphone, and violin. It would be epic to have a drum set, brass instruments, woodwinds and more string instruments. Maybe even the ability to form a band. I’m getting ahead of myself, but maybe?
This is a fantastic idea
I want this so bad 😭 I'm also biased as a cellist, but I want my sims to be able to learn cello so bad.
OMG YES WE NEED MORE INSTRUMENTS
YES i added a band room to copperdale high and the lack of instruments made me so sad. i just want my teens to be band kids is that too much to ask???
IT SHOULD ALSO WORK WITH THE GET FAMOUS PACK
I really want a tattoo parlor stuff pack. The cas and build and buy would be a bit retro and maybe punk. And then the gameplay would be being able to tattoo sims/run a parlor. Then the sims can tell you what they want and you enter cas where you could use stencils or draw (like in cats and dogs) and make money or ruin sims that way
omg that's such a fun idea!!
yes pls
that would be so cool
This idea just made me tear up as a console player bc getting stuck with the base game tattoos is :///
@@Free.zen. it sucks to be us :(
Remember when the Sims team claimed that Kits would not hinder/interfere the creation of other Sims packs? They lied straight to our faces 😭
Not surprising, they said they’d listen to the console community and fix the broken build mode that’s hindering people with disabilities.
Months later? Nothing ❤
Adding medical wearables while actively making your game harder to play for disabled people 🗿
Companies lie? What a surprise!
@@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYah oh trust me EA doesn’t care at all about disabled people. They added fucking pronouns and sexualities (which I’m not inherently against I’m just wondering how that’s fucking useful in the sims) but if you use a wheelchair they don’t care
vintage glamour and moschino are fantastic stuff packs if you enjoy "celebrity gameplay" and own get famous, i love making my sims famous photographers with moschino & making them famous actors or painters and giving them this glamorous mansion decorated with vintage glamour, the butler feature is also really cool and i must admit, vintage glamour/moschino/get famous combination is probably a combination i use the most in my game!
same!!!!
Same! For me, Moschino pack is essential. I legit love cas hair and clothes and lots of my sims work in fashion career. And the photography stuff is amazing 🤩
I got moschino because I take pictures of my sims families so often that the improved cameras actually is so helpful lol
YES FINALLYSOMEONE JUST LIKE ME WHO LOVES GET FAMOUS I FEEL SO GOOD!
@@kuromi4766 I also like get famous, but I am actully playing it really differently, like not glamorous celebrities (though actor career is really fun!), but more like bloger/youtuber/streamer type celebrities. This way it goes well with high school pack, for example. I even started 100 baby challenge lately with a role-play of sims streamer, who decided to recreate this challenge in "real-life" and get famous 😁 (so, her aspiration is to get famous, she is working as a streamer from home, streams sims and makes videos about her dates and kids and uploads on the media station)
I completely agree that Paranormal, Tiny Living, and Nifty Knitting are top-tier stuff packs! I wish they would make more stuff packs instead of all the kits.
agreed!! or at least make the kits more worth the money, that works too for me personally since they can definitely make them more like the stuff packs
Kayla : got married
Also Kayla : the sims gave me this pack it was the greatest day of my life
Sims first
Man seccond
I will say one thing for Moschino, the cas can really work for your wealthy Sims. I put the paragons members in the cas and it feels like something they would wear.
Yeah, I feel like people get too caught up on "I don't like these CAS items" when what they really mean is "I would never wear anything like this in real life" and I think that's kind of an opportunity. While I do love making Sims that are relateable to me and picking things I like for them, I also love scrolling through the catalog and picking some clothes that I hate and trying to imagine what kind of person would wear them.
@@pengwinsRus If I wanted to make my sims look rich, the last fashion brand I would use is mosquino lol. There's plenty of trendy pieces from big brands they could've done but they chose the least relevant luxury brand ever. Imagine a miu miu collab with some of their main pieces that went trending like the cropped sweaters and shirts or the mini skirts
@@davidkonevky7372 Okay, but I didn't say anything about Mosquito stuff or rich sims
@@pengwinsRus what other niche would your average mosquito consumer fit
@@davidkonevky7372 A bunch, especially since most of the items don't actually look that expensive. There's a few leather jackets and leather boots/skirt/pants, so you could go biker or punk, or something more fetish-y maybe. I've given the stupid tux shirt to Johnny Zest before because it's a joke. There's a very normal looking sweatshirt and dress that I've used, and an absurd sergeant pepperesque outfit that... actually have no idea who that one would be for.
Video Idea: All the stuff they've added to Base Game since Launch. Not every CAS item or whatever, but the big build mode stuff like Terrain Tools, the place-able critters, pools, basements, roof trim, roof eave adjustments, etc.
Don't forget about toddlers and hopefully soon to be infants
@@just_jana9959 ughh i NEED a date for infants i'm losing my MIND
I found lilsimsie because there was a video of her crying about stairs, so I fully endorse this
Toddlers, ghosts, and the sims profile
Being able to place doors on half walls or alt place them, that was a big one
one detail about vintage glamour that i keep forgetting about is that children can play with makeup at the vanities. it's both adorable and hilarious
"This pack sucks, but I need it" Me with both the mosquito and the laundry day pack.
I actually like the off-the-grid laundry system more than the machine system.
If I don't get someone's handiness skill high enough to install lintless, I can't even play with the machines, because the Sims keep setting them on fire by not checking the lint tray.
100% none of my clothes ever came out clean and dry from the machines! Idk why they made doing laundry so hard, and not even in a fun way
I thought laundry day was a weird choice but honestly in my country it's very very unusual for a house/apartment not to have a laundry room so even if I don't love doing the laundry in the sims, I feel like every build needs this or is otherwise an incomplete house and something is always missing (like I cant even build my real life house in the game which is something I like to do). So for that I personally place it in must have.
But I think its so essential that it should be just a base game thing. It's weird to have a stuff pack just for this, feels like having a stuff pack that introduces fridges or something like that haha
@@brendalima5292xactly. sims just makes new expansions/stuff packs for things that SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE BASE GAME TO BEGIN WITH.
I have been boycotting EA for years. as much as I wanted high school years and cottage living, I just got mods and cc to make similar game play for those... but I'm about to bite the bullet and buy growing together just because it seems to add a lot more gameplay that is similar to sims 3....
in any case, I cannot wait for the game "life by you" to come out.... I'm definitely buying that early release for september for $40... which it won't even be finished at that point but even now it looks 10x better than the sims. I heard the price will go up more when the game actually gets released, and Lord knows ingotta save money where I can lol... but I'm telling people you haven't looked into life by you, I totally suggest you do! because ea is just shady as can be. I think life by you is the game we have all been waiting for!
@@brendalima5292
Laundry in a house with a big family + an infant is a mistake. I learned the hard way
I feel like paranormal was a missed opportunity to make a “scared to death” new death type
I thought you could be scared to death, right?
You can die of fright, I think?
She forgot something about the fitness stuff pack that I'm wondering she may not know... one of the things I love of the pack is that it adds the workout option in the tv and its really useful if you want to build the fitness skill, also a while ago if you choose the Plumboomba Dance program the dancing skill also builds
I totally forgot that you could do that in the Sims 3!
Thank you! I miss that option and had no idea it was hidden in a pack!
also adds headphones
@@kyramondaine2642 really? I always thought it came with university... Guess I was wrong
i miss stuff packs so much, they were waaay more well rounded. I wonder if we're going to get any at all in the future.
This video honestly came at the best time, as I'm trying to decide which SP I want to pick up while they're on sale, and don't want to waste money 😂
Appreciate the input, Kayla!
I love Vintage Glamour just because I love putting vanity tables in my teen rooms (I never really actually use them I just think it's neat to have them) and I always play with butlers. Like as soon as my sim can afford it I move in a butler who does literally everything for me and I love it
I think the earbuds from the Fitness pack are under appreciated. It increases your sims fun level, and it can make you focused.
First time I ever used that well I got the creepiest evil child. I’m obsessed. Love it.
vintage glamour is my favorite stuff pack. i bought it with get famous and i think the two go together really well if you play with an old school/traditional rich sim like judith ward. i adore the vanity table because and the makeup isn't even that bad. the animations are surprisingly detailed and children can also play around with make up. i am definitely biased, because i love the vintage glamour aesthetic.
I like to use the vanity for sims that are getting ready to get married, it’s nice to give them a new look for their big day
"I don't like monsters and ghosts and stuff like that." *Puts Paranormal Stuff Pack in Must Have*
Sims team saw this video and went "Kayla wants more kitchen stuff! We have to bring back stuff packs!" - so now we got a stand mixer. lol
On a side note: Romantic Garden was the first stuff pack I bought when I started playing Sims 4 and I use it constantly, especially with Cottage Living. My other favs are Laundry Day, Nifty Knitting, and Paranormal - cause they go really well together as far as my vibes.
The crowd going silent after “mosquito stuff!” Is such a cartoon moment
Love your pfp
I bought vintage glamor primarily for my vampires but if I’m not playing with a vampire, I don’t really use it
Butlers are super useful if you have a vampire sim- constant blood supply!
Haha, like “stop biting the help”
I also think Vintage Glam fits the vampire aesthetic as well.
The exitment in Kaylas voice when talking about new deaths is amazing
When I build in the sims, my favorite room to build is the kitchen, so Cool Kitchen was a hit for me. I understand why others may not like it though, it's not for everyone. Although I do agree about the small kitchen appliance problem... sometimes I'll discover old ice cream laying around that I never knew of
@@lilsimsie_ L fake simsie
I love making kitchens I could never afford in real life 😅
It IS very niche and specific, but Spooky is one of my personal favorites because I'm really into Halloween in my everyday life decor, so it is must have for me. Paranormal just made it even better having things along those lines! For me those two are top tier, but I fully understand that not every player wants Spooky Stuff. (Also love Tiny Living and Nifty Knitting.)
snaps doing a loaf in the back under the tree is giving me so much joy
They need to bring back stuff packs
And cancel kits! 😭
@@zetka_ yessss 😭😭😭😭
IMMEDIATELY
I love your name!
@@rachelvmayhill thanks!
Fun interaction with the globe bar - If a child sim investigates it, they spin it and you can just hear all the glass just shattering lmao but it's fine cause it's the sims
I discovered this channel 2 days ago and was literally looking for this video- it’s like you read my mind thank you for uploading (new subscriber)
Welcome to the community 😊
I agree with all the must haves in Kayla’s list. And yes, Moschino is a MUST for the camera alone!!!
I saw romantic garden in this video and… yes. Just yes. So cool. Romantic garden, nifty knitting and tiny living are by far the most appealing to me, especially the former and the latter. Absolutely must keep this video in mind for the future. These sets of videos have been soooo useful, Kayla! Thank you!!
watching this video with home chef hustle hindsight is so funny
This is Snap's world, we're all just living in it.
I really enjoy Tiny Living and am getting Nifty Knitting and Paranormal, maybe others too and they are so good, they really need to bring them back because they were affordable and also had good amounts of stuff
who knew one year later we would get one of the best kitchen building stuff packs?
I miss them so much! Paranormal was like the best one they ever did. Also the way Snap jumps up on the desk and then just sits and looks at you lol 😻
Currently “My first pet” is a free DLC :) Hopefully it stays that way
i love the idea and aesthetic of the laundry pack but my sims washing machines literally break ALL THE TIME so i end up not using them a lot
I loved stuff packs..
“You know how your Sims are always making coffee for no reason and then it just spoils in there?”
I THOUGHT MY SIM WAS JUST ANNOYING. Nice to know it’s not just mine and that I’m very justified in having gotten rid of my coffee maker. 😌
I love my first pet stuff. The furniture is in all of my builds. I love the couches, and the coffee table, the cat lamp, and the rodents. She didnt even mention that your rodent can travel and send you post cards. It's so cute. And now it's free when you buy cats and dogs so they fixed that mistake.
I bought cats&dogs around time when it was released and now I'd have to pay for my first pet stuff so I can't really tell the issue was fixed like you stated
lol watching this after home cheff hustle
Romantic garden stuff is probably my favourite. I love the plants and dresses in that pack so much
Interesting, does lilsimsie not know that the bird feeder in backyard stuff also has game play where you can watch the birds and they might attack you? I love that you can scent your laundry and it adds to the happiness levels of your sim to sweetly scented laundry. Controversial but I love moschino stuff. Love that witches excel faster in the paranormal pack and that it’s sort of a hidden thing in the game.
When I first got tiny living I created a new save and everything and when I went to go to sleep my sim immediately died
Unpopular opinion: I don't hate My First Pet Stuff anymore - at first yes I was disappointed in it but I kind of now love some of my sims to have a small pet like a Hamster and I think it's well done with what the small pets can do. There could be more objects in that pack but the gameplay with like a hamster is really cute and they even show in the relationships as this cute little friend
Honestly I think it is a good pack. I think there is around as much stuff than other packs have. The only bad side to it is that it should have been part of cats and dogs. Other than that the gameplay is good, it adds decent amount of stuff and it fits well to kids rooms. So I actually really like it. Very underrated pack!
i wish they added reptiles too, it would not have been that hard
I use the decor all the time for my sims dogs especially the egg bed
Home chef hustle: 💃🕺🏻🎉🥳
My absolute NEED IT stuff packs are tiny living, my first pet stuff, and kids room stuff. I use all three in every game!
Simmer alert how did we not think of this so I was scrolling through the doors I saw the vintage glamor door looked at the swatches because I honestly forget it existed and saw the red swatch it's a barn door we all struggle to find one and it looked like a red traditional barn 😱
Note this is the original comment if you see any copy's it is not the first one thank you 😎
I looooove the fitness pack for the earbuds! I use them for my university students while they do their homework and it raises their fun level :)
Moschino is my favorite stuff pack and I seriously can't live without it- FINALLY SOMEONE GIVES IT THE LOVE IT DESERVES
Dan was really trolling Kayla with leaving in the extra takes for this video lol. I wonder if she stole all the blankets the night before or something 😝
I genuinely love these videos, they help me to know which packs I want to spend my money on, seriously saving a lot of us out here much love ❤
Paranormal pack is the most fun I had in sims in years. The bonding between you and your house (and Guidry of course) is a fresh and unique experience. I also love how it has slight Louisiana voodoo vibe to it.
Much better than majority of their expansion packs, so definitely top tier.
Loving the fact this video is nearly 40 mins long!
Anyway, tip for everyone: put the photo studio in a room, lure your Sims in there and lock the door so they can't leave. Because if you initiate taking a photo with more than one Sim, you have to wait for them to walk over, and your Sims can be totally out of sync with one arriving to do it when the other has given up waiting and walked off. So get them in that lockable room first, then you have a captive audience and you can get the photos done and very little in-game time is wasted. And if you can't lock them inside somewhere, get all the sims into the same spot very close to the camera first and pause the game, they cannot be given any chance to walk away, then initiate the photo taking. Basically: do not give photo commands with Sims in different places and no one near the actual camera, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
It's kinda funny that the luxury clothing brand collab has the more forget about it, don't use it CAS, but good build stuff and good gameplay. Irony. So despite the CAS and despite the difficulty, I would still get Moschino stuff pack. In my 100 baby challenge I have a gallery wall of portraits of all the children as adults, one with their mom, and a portrait of the father. Before I had the pack my pictures were so very sad and disappointing.
I need stuff pack comeback let the sim gurus know we need a petition for them to give us more
I don’t understand why I watch these types of video. I own all the packs and kits, but I love watching. That toddler slide is honestly life changing, And I find myself using the braid hairstyle from Fitness stuff basically every sim.
I could not tell you why, but watching a Sim sit in a rocking chair and knit soothes my soul. It also freaks me out a little when you play at triple speed, but it's just really nice.
Came here just to hear the epic rant about the glowing cube
With the vanity table you could do the makeup of your child sims, if they have the creative trait or if they have a high creativity skill, the makeup will be better... i like this cuz i could pretend and make them mess with their parents makeup
I was looking at stuff packs last night since there’s a sale, but I didnt realize a lot f this stuff had actual gameplay. So I might have to look again. Thank you and happy holidays!
I'd love to see a video where you describe what you'd like to see in a pack refresh for each of the bottom tier packs, like what you'd do to fix them.
Recently for the Christmas sale (I believe it’s till 7th of January, correct me if I am wrong: so go get them packs!) I was able to buy the expansion pack- Cats and Dogs for 50% off. When you go to the final page of purchase I believe, it’ll display that you get both Cats and Dogs AND the My First Let Stuff Pack as well. Great deal! Considering that Cats and Dogs NEVER EVER get 50% off (always only 25% or sm) and you get the stuff pack as well, I would highly recommend it if you don’t have both of ‘em.
Kayla being unsure wether to love or hate Mosquito is far, far too relatable.
One of my favourite things about nifty knitting is the added metal station.
Oh my gosh, that globe bar really takes me back. When I was little, my grandma had one of those in her living room. Im gonna have to buy that pack just for that bit of nostalgia
I finally bought paranormal stuff but haven’t had the time to play through the gameplay yet. Obsessed with the build items in it though! Tony living and nifty knitting are also my other favorites ❤
I love luxury party! It had much needed formal cas when it came out. I didn’t know about cc back then, so it was even more crucial for me. I think it gets way too much hate, but I can see that it is smaller. I just love all the items, cas especially!
I actually use the fitness stuff furniture a lot for more modern aesthetics because i really like the wood/brown accents with the modern look.
I have literally been trying to find that specific dollhouse for days it is my favorite dollhouse thankyou! 😁😱
i enjoy bowling in real life so i was excited about this pack. the workout pack was a flop for me because i wanted different workout machines and maybe some yoga type stuff. ive said it on i think every one of these ranking videos, but what i really want to happen is i want a RANDOM PACK that allows you to pick maybe up to 20 (or another reasonable number) of items CAS or build from wherever you want and create your own pack from all of the different ones. allowing someone to for instance get the camera from the "mosquito pack" and nothing else with maybe all the CAS from outdoor retreat, and the build stuff from island living or something. i think that would help alot for people.
I miss stuff packs sooooooooooooooo much
Tiny Living is my favorite pack out of everything including expansions. It makes such a difference.
I also love the paranormal pack. It is floral and so girly. The living room set is so pretty.
The nice part of the spooky stuff pack is it adds another type of event. One that's pretty easy to achieve.
I loved this! I’m still concerning what SP to buy and this is a huge help for me. Thnx!!
The ghost hunter career in paranormal brings back Sims 3 Ambitions memories 😊
i love the moschino pack the photographer career is so fun
thank you, you made me know which ones I should buy!
ive never been so early for a video.. thank you for all that you do kayla keep up the great work
The way i see it is if you use cas a lot get the knitting pack (theres a cheat to unlock the knitted stuff), if you like building get tiny living, and if you like gameplay get paranormal stuff (honestly theres enough gameplay that it could pass as a game pack imo)
I really really love halloween, and even I'm not planning on ever getting spooky stuff tbh
The story about moshquito realm of magic and island living🤣🤣
I recently caved and bought two CAS kits, including Moonlight Chic, on Steam. Moonlight Chic has been glitched on Steam since the High School Years was released; two items in the kit are broken. That's 5 months that Steam and EA have been selling a broken kit. I applied for a refund for the dlc but was refused because I played the Sims for over 2 hours after installing the dlc. This time was spent first finding the broken content, then repairing the game, researching the glitch and even completely reinstalling the game before asking for a refund within 24 hours of my purchase. I'm really not happy right now.
STUFF PACKS ARE FINALLY BACK OMG
I’ve got the Vintage Glamour stuff for my Wayne mansion game play. I wanted to make full on Batman story it was amazing :D
My First Pet is so far my only stuff pack, and I think the reason it wasn't included in Cats and Dogs is because it's a very different build style than the style from cats and Dogs. My only problem with the pack is that you can't change the colour of your rodent😂
😂
I think the cat Snap is genuinely in love with Kayla ♥️ she is always there and its so cute!!!
If only you knew xD
Thank you Kayla! These videos are SO helpful!
Knifty knitting is a soft spot for me because it reminds me of the sims 2 free time pack where sims could make clothes on a sewing machine, and I adored that. My most played families had a bunch of hand made clothes. Speaking of TS2 free time, I wish they'd add pottery into the sims 4, that was another thing I did a lot in the sims 2
simsie looking straight at the cat at 6:06
"in fact, its kinda annoying"
Nifty Knitting is the first and so far the only stuff pack I bought right after I got the game just for a week, I really like the knitting features and literally everything just like you said😅
Honestly I love Vintage Glamour just for the CAS lol. And in my opinion, Moschino is worth it just for the tripod, it's such a convenient item to have! I don't have a ton of stuff packs yet, but Paranormal was also a must-have for me. I love the CAS, I love the build/buy, I love the gameplay, I love the added characters. It truly is a top tier pack!
For me, Vintage Glamour is a MUST. HAVE. Soley for the BUTLER. Butlers are SO amazing. Especially if you play legacy challenges/100 baby challenge. They cook for you, clean for you, and take care of the children. They are essentially a live-in nanny, maid, and cook in one. I have not played one family where I don't have a butler.
I used to love the furniture in the movie stuff pack, like, it's so cool and colourful and was kinda unique until very recently. I loved so much.
I only have (in the other I bought) laundry day, nifty knitting, paranormal, movie hangout and cool kitchen, so I can't actually say much about the others. my sister has all of them minus paranormal and my first pet stuff tho
