I really wanna see a jacket/coat/cardigan category that can go on top of shirts like the tank
That would open up so many customization options
Was literally thinking this when I was playing yesterday 🤣
YES that is just a need
@@pallymorrison9249 samee lmao
If they do this, let's hope its in an update
The only thing that is missing out of the Book Nook kit is a library ladder for when you make those extra tall book cases. Maybe different sizes that have have some empty slots for decorations.
Octave - Part Four by Harrie has a ladder attached to her book cases.
I wonder if you can cheat one using a ladder and a second story of book cases. Now I need to play, I have too many ideas.
WOW I DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF THAT BUT YOU’RE RIGHT that would have been so cool
@@piperbird7193 create a mezanine with a ladder going up to it with 2 stories of floor to ceiling bookcases
@@piperbird7193 You may not even need a full second story! If you make a tall enough platform and kinda merge the bookcases into it, then add more books on top of the platform, then you can add a ladder and I’m betting it could still work!
calling it right now, kayla’s next video: “building a library in the sims 4”
i truly hope you are right
she probably will eventually lol
If it's not the next video it will definitely come soon.
Either that or, "Adding a library to every lot in the Sims 4". 😆
“Building a greenhouse library with a basement”
The problem with hats in this game is that they sit too high on the head. Beanies usually go over at least part of the ear
In my climate they need to cover the whole ear, because we get winters here.
Just commented this without seeing your comment. :)
@@ragnkjasame here. I dislike most winter hats in the Sims 4. I think one (possibly from cats & dogs) is the only one with the ears covered.
@@sirromap1021 Exactly, and it's got a puppy face on it. I like it, but not every Sim who needs warm clothing is going to vibe with a puppy face.
@@ragnkja Even if you assume that it's not so cold that the ears have to be covered, the hats in the sims 4 still sit too high on the head. It looks like they're about to pop off and fall.
I wish they would bundle the kits like 2 for $8 or 3 for $12 or something bc for one pack it’s too pricey. Also for the pricy I want a lot more of basic swatches.
where i live we have to pay $7😭
in the uk we have to pay £5 which is like over $6 :(
That's what I dislike the most about kits,there is no way the production value of those kits justify any price over 3$
@@fruity4820 I bought the pastel pop kit and that definitely felt worthy of the 5$ pricetag for me but you're right about most not being that high in production value
I wish they'd let us bundle them even if there was no discount (although I really wish we could get a discount for bundling because you're right, they're pricey.) I don't want to buy them individually even if I was just getting two and also they had this feature in Origin (no discount sadly) so I'm betting they won't add it to the EA App either because people won't buy if they realize how fast they add up or else it's too complicated to code into the EA app which is kinda stupid if so.
If they just gave a discount for buying multiple like you suggested though I'm pretty sure people would be more willing to buy them in general! 3 mix and match for $12 dollars is definitely comparable to a Stuff Pack plus if you only care about CAS or you only care about Build/Buy then you get more bang for your buck!
I'm also so irritated that we can't bundle a kit in place of a Stuff Pack! I was foolish and a bit crazy so I got all of the Stuff Packs at one point (well, I bought a lot and then the rest through bundling); now I can't do the Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack custom bundles anymore because Kits aren't an option! I just assumed they'd always be making Stuff Packs; I had no idea they'd replace them with Kits and then refuse to add them in the big bundles.
I really wish the modular bookshelves had all the same swatches as the dream home decorator modular furniture, it would’ve been so cool to put them together 🥲
Honestly I wish all packs kits etc had a matching swatch (not just white and black), say two wood tones that are universal throughout every single pack and then two or three that are unique to that pack.
Wood items are always hard to match. It really gets on my nerves. And also, some of good doors that are available for the short wall are not available for the medium and tall walls.
grunge revival is definitely just scraps from werewolves, but the book nook thing is PERFECT
Yeah I'm praying it's not their idea of giving us the goth kit we voted for.
@@lucienfortner841 it’s too soon for that and they said it isn’t on twitter
@Lucien Fortner ikr! I want platforms!
Glad they made it tho. cus I didn’t plan on getting werewolves, I don’t want furrys running around scaring my sims.
except these clothes are actually wearable, and not useless torn rags in 10 swatches 😭
The sims should make a cas kit that is like a ‘capsule wardrobe kit’ or something and just fill it with basic everything
or better yet, just update the base game clothes
... and make it base game! especially the basics should be base game. I wish the kits were more specific and niche (some are) so it can spice up your game to your liking
Isn’t that just what base game is supposed to be😭
So true, something like a 'matchy matchy' major base game update where ALL the existing objects (cas, build, expansions/kits) get matching swatches (as much as possible of course). Would be amazing.
THEY ARE STEPPING UP THEIR GAME (even tho they are kits)
I am BEGGING the sims to let us buy multiple kits at once it’s driving me insane at this point with all these kits 😭😭
If they had a 3 for $10 bundle I’d actually buy some
@@x1asheratmidnight1x yea I would actually have more kits if we could buy multiple at once!!💀 A bundle would be a super awesome idea as well! ❤
Kayla is going to be so excited about the neutral rug.
Lol, it was too plain! 😂
@@AlexandraUtschig For real!! It needed at least 5 more swatchs in different colours that matches the cushions on the sofas
Too neutral, even for Kayla 😂
The hats always look strange because they never cover the ears. They sit too high up
How do the developers not realise how off it looks to anyone from a cold climate?
@Evelyn Berry
Whereas I’m from northern Norway, and it looks _really_ weird to me, like they’re wearing the hats indoors as a costume rather than as functional winter outdoor garments.
Ohhh I was wondering what was so off about it! That makes so much more sense!
I would kill for them to do a wallpaper kit next. I know that seems boring but we need more neutrals beyond one beige one grey! I want muted pinks and greens and browns! That and more bed swatches. Bedrooms are so hard for me because every bed has patterned sheets
Honestly they should just update the base game swatches first
@@sarahkp729 oh I completely agree but this is EA and I have to be realistic in assuming they’d charge us 😂
can you IMAGINE the fun we'd have with these bookshelves if they added swatches that match the dream home decorator ones 😭
I'm so excited about the rainbow organized bookshelves. I'm a huge reader irl and I know it's like a THING to do rainbow organization. I know so many readers (including myself) that organize like that. It's such a small detail but I'm like overly excited to have my sims organize their book shelves the same way i do.
Do you also feel like every time Kayla checks out a new kit she says “omg I’m gonna use this all the time” and then we never see her use it again?
Yeah, be a lot cooler if she would just build based on her creativity and not trying to please her followers from the gallery.
I wish they had put a nice cozy fireplace in the book nook kit
libraries will be changed forever with this kit omg
The book nook set is cute, but I really wish there was a library ladder you could attach to the book shelf. Doesn't have to be functional, but that would be so cool
They finally made an end table that you can duplicate and not have the same books!!!
Kayla: I’m gonna use it all the time
Also Kayla: builds a base game house 😂
My thoughts exactly
people complain when she uses packs lmao
@@Cervidae I have yet to see someone complain about that, under all her base game/ limited pack builds the comment are like, can you please use packs
EVERY. TIME.
@@sierraalice8072 On Twitch a lot of people complain about it
The grunge kit is so much of my middle school wardrobe and I’m here for it. And my nail polish was always chipped. I owned those sunglasses and the necklaces. This is a CAS kit I need.
Would be nice if it was actually grunge tho...
@@micahguillemette3344 I think it's supposed to be moreso Tumblr 2016 hipster grunge, not 90s grunge
I’ve never desired a kit as strongly as I desire the book nook kit
Kayla wanting more stuff like this kit just made me think of a expansion pack based on books. It could have jobs like librarian, historian, publisher and tutor.There could be book cafés, tutoring, spaces,etc. And of course a lot of cute, simple and cozy cast and build items. Now I need it😭
The grunge revival kit is probably the first kit I’d even consider buying-
Yes, the style is similar to the werewolves CAS (I mean, duh, they’re both based on grungy styles, they’re gonna look similar), but the textures look super cool and genuinely quite good, and it’s all stuff I could consistently use
Im not sure if I *will* buy the kit, cause I *hhaattteee* the idea of paying £5 for just a few CAS pieces, but this is the closest I’ve got to considering it
Same, I think that if they made a bundle this would be one of the ones is like to add to my game, some of these have items I would use but I wouldn't justify that much money on something so small in a game, hopefully they create some sort of bundle soon because I am missing out for 🤼♂️
I don't care so much for the coffee table, but for the side tables I absolutely love that they have differnt book swatches with the same wood tone so you can have two matching side tables with slightly different book stacks
Absolutely stoked about the different coloured books in the shelves - I’m so sick of my libraries/studies/offices having a wall of bookshelves with just the same books over and over and over….
@@tungstensmum1491 Ugg, I know! I always make librarys so small or weirdly arranged to avoid this, or I just don't include more than one or two of the same bookshelf
these kits are so cool but i wish they were all like in one pack with a whole bunch of clutter and stuff :,)
Yes! Or if they'd at least offer a bundle deal or something to make kits more affordable to purchase.
Like hello the “Klutter Bundle” would be so easy to market with a cutesy name and I bet they’d get a ton of sales, even if it was only a tiny discount.
@@bridgetthewench yes, if they offered 3 or 4 for ten bucks I’d be all over it.
i thinks so too. they're just too expensive for the amount of items which are actually included in them. :(
I wish that when you bought a kit they’d update kits now and then and you got the update for free : / They’d sell more of them imo.
I actually bought both kits today. It's my first time buying a CAS kit but I really love the grunge aesthetic and I wanted the book nook kit the moment I heard the words "modular shelves" lol. I wish they cost less but I honestly love the content in these ones.
Being a recently turned 40 year old person, that tiny backpack brings me right back to pre-teen years.
“You might hate the pastel pop kit, and you might love the industrial loft kit…”
… is she… is she standing behind me? 👀
I’m honestly shocked at how fast the gallery was moving hahaha it never loads that fast
If they keep up this level of quality and versatility with kits I honestly won't mind us getting one or two every roadmap. They're such nice, small, niche additions to your game without spending *too* much money.
"without spending too much money" yeah, if you live in the US or europe, sure.
As a rock music fan, I feel like they've never seen anything grunge - that kit is laughable to me. As a bookworm though, the book nook kit is a dream come true!
i felt like the description of “grunge comeback” rather than grunge itself makes a lot more sense considering grunge isn’t just one thing depending on region/time/particular bands. this is what ppl born after grunge would wear nowadays
ikr it's so polished
I feel like when i have vampires/werewoolfs pack i dont really need this kit, it looks basic if you want some rock/goth stuff xD
It's the usual Sims 4 "hipster" aesthetic disguised as a "grunge" pack.
i think it’s inspired by tiktok grunge
Am I the only one realising that the little lamp is basically the same one than the plant lamp from the plants kit ? The blooming room kit, not the greenhouse kit.
i like book nook but my reaction to every single item in the grudge revival was “oh i have a cc of that already” or “the cc for those is better” especially in terms of the makeup, oversized clothes, nails, and backpacks
Good for you. Some of us play on console and can't get cc so we have to rely on content from the actual game.
The same is true about the book kit. I may not have slotable book shelves but i have items that look a lot like this.
Same. A lot of AH00B's AxA CC is as good or better than the stuff in that pack, and probably moreso in the direction of grunge
@@jackofhearts5542 Yeah but you guys deserve GOOD content not half baked unresearched piece of crap content. Sorry ??
@@micahguillemette3344 Well, for console users though the book nook kit is incredibly useful. The grunge kit is terrible.
The question is will my stuff get put in my inventory every time I load the lot because of the modular shelf bug.
I don't have the Sims installed on my pc right now, but once I free up space for it again, the grunge kit might be the first kit I buy. It could be better still, but the clothes are cool and for once look like they'll lay decently on larger sims or sims with custom frame like trans sims for example.
I’m actually excited about this CAS kit! And the book basket with the plant is perfection 😍
I really like the grunge revival kit for all the unisex clothes. You can do more midtransition looks easier.
I'm so excited for this kit, the libraries!
The crop tops from this kit look so good on masculine frames sims! 9:51 They’re slaying!!!
During my high school years GRUNGE WAS KING!! So seeing the clothes was a little bit nostalgic for me.
the grunge pack is literally my life is strange DREAM to have in the sims😭
Them giving us so many updates so frequently feels like there calm before the storm
YES! I agree that hats in the sims looks weird, especially winter ones, I fell like they sit too high on the head and should cover ears more
I'm originally from the Seattle area, and the grunge kit gives me 90s vibes...and I love it. The book nook kit is also really cool. I have way too many ideas for a grunge rock/bookworm loft right now!
You are so right about the hats. I love hats but cannot ever put them on my Sims because they sit on the heads instead of around them.
Grunge revival is amazing! I love more options to create alternative sims!
Thats literally not grunge. Its emo at best.
I’m still waiting for a funeral pack
The fire hazard had me rolling 😂
Also can we appreciate the "Strike a Prose" pun for that bookend item?? I cackled
I hope Simsie makes a wizardy room using this and Realm of Magic like she suggested! Contemporary, messy, eclectic coloured room for a sim that matches would be so fun! ✨💖🎇
Also I really like the Book Nook kit, I wish the items had more swatches. We've demanded neutrals for so long so it's good to have them but I feel like they just went "they want neutrals? here, it's all they get", so a few different colours alongside the wood tones would have made this kit a 10/10 for me. Especially for the rug, pale neutral colours would have made it my fave rug.
I love how she says "sorry for the rain outside" but mother nature is helping with the vibes. I mean don't people love reading in a cozy place with tea/coffee when it's raining outside?
I got book nook immediately just because the stuff looks so cute and cozy! i'm not a builder but i'm so excited to use the stuff. also the grunge revival clothes look so... nice? the actual textures are so nice. EA stepping up fr
I really love the book nook kit, but I do wish they had a corner piece of some sort to do a full wrap around bookcase.
the grunge revival kit is all the type of stuff i normally end up downloading CC for because there's just not enough like it! I'm excited. I had a chipped polish CC that I lost and couldn't find again so I'm so happy about this
A lot of the hats sit weirdly high and/or tight don't they? I almost never use them despite loving hats irl.
There are two new tattoos as well. I love both kits. Can't wait to get off and game now lol.
Thanks so much for you video with a complete breakdown on the 2 new Kits. I am a mix of both. I love to spend time in CAS creating my Sims style to match their personality. Then after I find a lot, I spend more time customizing the house/apartment to the Sim's style 🙂
The book nook kit is PERFECT and came out in the perfect time as My pink sim (not so berry/ the author) just moved into her own house so i can make her her own lil library and have books everywhere.
Kayla pleeeease do a build inspired by Snap!!! No pack restrictions and the cat cam is also a must!!!! ❤❤❤
The grunge kit will go so great with the werewolf kit! So excited to use them together
I buy every new kit trough steam and I never have had any problems! Also love both kits honestly! Thank you for always making these videos it is SO helpful !
I have been having so much fun with the kits today and glad to be watching your video playing it. Booknook is my fave! I’m a big reader so I’m pretty happy to bring that part of my work into my saves.
sooo take a shot every time lilsimsie says “i like the purple one” while going through the CAS kit 😂
Nah, better every time Kayla says "This is probably my favourite ______ ever"
and the "i'm gonna use this all the time" then builds using base game only xD
I can't be the only one who's so excited about more pillow- covered couches
Love love love your videos!!
It would be super helpful if you could create a review playlist, so people could see all your kit reviews in one place for buying!!
I like the detail you go into when you review, and would never buy a kit/pack/expansion without your reviews! 😊
The book nook kit, your right, looks amazing 😍
oh i am in love with the cas kit! it's pretty much exactly my clothes style, like that flannel shirt with demin jacket over i wear on a regular basis! i feel like this would be so good for nerdy, gamer and/or neurodivergent sims who prefer comfort over fashion! also those drawn on trainers would be perfect for rebellious teens.
am also in love with the book kit, all the soft edges and warm neutrals and wood tones give me so many cosy vibes. it's exactly the style of one of my ocs, who also just so happens to love reading, so i'm definitely gonna take inspo from these items when designing the interior of her apartment! it's giving huddling inside on a warm winters night surrounded by soft blankets, stacks of books and many many houseplants with evermore by taylor swift playing in the background, and honestly i am so here for that.
This whole comment resonated deep in my soul I swear HAHAH literally the warm book vintage-y rainy day aesthetic and evermore and grunge-y clothes? I feel so seen
@@dolllhands OMG YES!!!!
I never realized how much i used the gallery until i didnt have it anymore
I've been waiting for this video to know if the booknook kit is worth it cause it looks fun
I like both packs. The content looks great in both of them. I'm glad I watched this video to see a breakdown of all the content and I like some of the creations you made for the book configurations.
I got the grunge one yesterday but purposely waited until I saw your review to decide on if I want the book one. Now, I'm totally sold! I especially love the modular bookcase around the window and the book tray with the (candle?) I love that everything is pretty neutral too. Thanks for breaking all these down!
I can't wait to see you do a future library remodel using the new kit!
These bookshelves are going to become the new blue suburban 💀
I really like these kits! I've been wanting more CAS stuff like that. The Book nook looks nice even though I wish there were more swatches, and I love the couches.
i ADORE that crewneck with the long sleeves! i like CAS a lot and this is one of the only kits i’ve ever actually wanted to get. the clothes are very human and not so crazy and scenario specific.
Next build is gonna be a blue suburban with every item from Book Nook
I find it hilarious how the random sim Kayla used in CAS to see the kit is a sim I have in my sims family so it feels like she's playing with my own sim 😭
I literally get to see my sim wearing clothes from a kit I don't own for free 😍
I actually find it very realistic how plain swatches of clothing are much harder to find even though they are the most basic thing we could ask for
Plain aren’t hard to find though if you know where to look..? 😅
OOooooo maybe I will buy the pack now! also I LOVE U LILSIMSIE!
I am OBSESSED with these kits! I grew up as a grunge styled teen bookworm and my heart is so happy! I will be buying both of these kits!!!
omg the top at 5:54 actually looks like an outfit i wear all the time in the winter... i'm so glad to find more clothes that look like my kind of thing without having to hunt for so much cc !!
also the black chipped nail polish is literally my own nails rn, finally representation!!!
love the sims forever and EVER but it makes me sad how money hungry EA has been lately 💔
i mean, tbh theyve always been super money hungry
what you mean lately, this is the status quo lol
@@handsoaphandsoap kits r a new level. 4.49 for 10 items that you could cram into packs alr released lmao
Yeah the end of stuff packs has been a tragedy
I've been pirating since 2016 for that reason
grunge revival is a MUST BUY
AxA did it better :)
So proud of everyone and how much you raised for the hospital!!
I’ve been so busy recently and I missed the streams for st Jude because of time zones but I’m so happy it went so well you should be so proud ❤
Clam your within a hour ticket here😅 and if you're late you can get a late ticket right here
Idk how I made it within 7 minutes
YAY
🙋♀️
Me!!
Hewwo
i’m so excited for this kit
Wow the book nook kit is absolute perfection 😍 the little cozy seating area is just a dream, I wish I’d have this in real life haha
This is perfect timing! I was just building a library for my NSB pink gen! 🎉
with every single item simsie be like: "I'm gonna use this ALL THE TIME"
Those rainbow books are my favourite thing in the entire of the sims
I'd love to see a series where you use each item from a kit/pack in a build! I've been doing that every time I get a new one and it's a really great way to get familiar with the new items!
I really like that you can put the same wood but with different books next to each other. That way it doesn't look like there is a copy machine putting the bookshelving up. I suspect I'll use these bookshelves more than any of the other ones.
I'm so glad they've given us a couple of cozy couches. Now my Sim doesn't have to have a specific job to get a cozy couch.
There isn't anything in the kit I don't like. I was so excited about it so as soon as I could, I bought it.
So excited to get the Book Nook kit!!! 📚❤
I was a teen in the 90’s so I’m very excited about this grunge pack.
Same!
Love the book nook kit! I just wish it had sommmme more color. It’s nice to have some neutrals but the maximalist in me wants at least a few patterns or jewel tones
I've NEVER wanted a kit as much as the grunge revival kit I'm so excited to buy it omg
omg i hope kayla builds a public library with this new kit
Been sat here patiently refreshing CZcams waiting for Kayla’s review 😊
I know u wanted to take a day off today, since the past month has been very stressful. But thank you so much for showing us the new content
