A Brutally Honest Review of The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff 

no stuff pack will ever compare to paranormal stuff its truly one of the best packs in the game

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 😅

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...

Wish they had updated the freelancer careers, Like some kind of catering would have been nice

I think this is the first criminal DLC for them. Underground restaurants or such, bypassing food safety regulations.

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”

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.

Thank you for actually being real and not over exaggerating your excitement like other simmers do💀 I swear so many sims 4 RU-vidrs act excited over every little thing and it’s usually not that serious

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 know what you simmers will be saying. Omg cupcake beanie. But really. It’s awful’ I love your reviews 😂😂😂

Satch Sims 4 Reviews = The only reviews I actually value and trust. (No pressure Satch 😂)

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.

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.

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.

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

This doggo behind you 🤩🤩🤩🤩 so cute Great vid Satch, as always 💙🙏

Honestly, fear of what this pack will do to my townies is one of the biggest reasons I don't want it

Been waiting on your review Satch! ❤

Thank you for getting this out so quickly! I had been waiting eagerly for your review haha

“The blue waffle” I’m dying. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The first time I used the food stall I dragged the waffle maker onto it and it broke instantly due to the rain 😂🤦🏻‍♂

Have just started watching the video. Just wanted to say that the dog is adorable 🥰

Someone grew up during the "I dare you to Google blue waffle" era 💀

I love the doggo in the background

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).

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?

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.

DOGGO in the background :)

Thank you for the great review. Unfortunately, it did convince me to buy the pack. 😂

Your review is all I need❤

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.

As a console player im definitely getting this one

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.

I was literally waiting for this

Not the stall name being "The blue waffle" 😭

Satch, i love when you say "Refrigerador", it always makes my day!

Great review Satch!

The dog in the backround was really cute!

All of the clutter is probably in a future kit 😂

I actually looove the kitchen set and I usually don’t like modern stuff

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

Preparing and selling food reminds me a lot of Sims 2 Open for Business and selling food from display fridge

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

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

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

The cas is great for simmers without dine out or cool kitchen

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

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

Omg, yhe dog in the background is adorable

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 have to admit, almost all my attention was taken by the beautiful, cute doggy next to Satch :D

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

My First Home Chef Hustle Stuff, I laugh whenever you try to say that!! 🤣❤

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

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

Spat my drink out when I saw the name of the food stall 😂

Thanks for detailed review bro

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.

Your laughs kill me 😂

Heheh cute little shiba in the background 🥺

There is a mod override that makes your sims always seat down when eating. Love that mod

Never heard of this pack and will not pay any more $$$ for things that should've been base game!

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

Awww the dog in the background

sweet doggo on background🐶

I cant concéntrate with your beautiful dog. So cute ❤

So we basically have a kit/stuff pack for every room except for a bathroom. Anyone noticed that? We only have a bathroom clutter kit... I want mordern built-in toilets

Satch What is the little doggy's name🥺🙏🏼

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?

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

Cute Shiba Inu in the background❤

I love your reviews Satch. But I think I love that dog more 😍

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

“The Blue Waffle” though?! *gags* 🤣🤣🤣🤣

you naming the food shop “The Blue Waffle” has me screaming

The only sims reviewer I trust

Remember when sims had a favourite meal and drink?

I really do like the normal sized appliances

This hat looks like a cute, happy knitted poop. That's all I wanted to say. 🤗

Finally a fade!

I spotted a doggo, instantly a great vid✨

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)

9/10 playthroughs - only cooking and eating Garden Salad

That dog is so cute

So. I don’t have Dine Out, Cool Kitchen, or this one. Which has better Build Mode items? I know Dine Out is broke af, but I’m on PC and am aware of Carl’s mods!

Great review, thank you! Also, cute doggo in the background)

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.

I actually like your new backdrop. It includes a dog, and dogs are always a plus in videos XD

My sims game updated today (cuz I normally play offline) and it’s like hardly working. All my sims are showing up like their custom content is broken but when I take everything off they still have it. It gave me a warning about how some mods might interfere with the update but I didn’t think much of it and allowed all mods and now I’m screwed. Anyone know how to help?

I’m here for the pizza earrings.

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.

Wow, i dont have Get to Work, Dine Out or cool kitchen stuff, and i don't even know that we have yard sale (from which pack is it?), so I think this stuff pack is just nice for me? I didn't buy it yet but it's nice to see Stuff Pack got revived.

That is literally the prettiest Doggy I've ever seen!!! 🥰🤩 But also I Agree best kitchen, but a blah pack 😒

Is that a Shiba? Is it yours? What is his/her name? 🤩

I was praying this was going to be a sell to order - like an omelette station. Sigh. I've always been able to sell food from the yard sale table, though, so this is no different.

The dog 👏🏽💖💖🫣
