Wow, I really thought they were going to add toothbrushing and cleaning animations/gameplay with this pack. I thought, a couple of clutter items couldn't possibly be a whole pack... jeeze EA.
animations would’ve really brought this kit to life. imagine your sims blow drying their hair after showering or using the plunger to fix the toilet when it breaks.… the lack of gameplay in recent dlc is starting to get annoying 😭
Exactly. They already have the plunger animation. Just tie it to the object so we can do trigger it when we want. Same with brushing teeth animations. Let us click on the toothbrush holder. Let us use the light switch to monitor the lights instead of just having to click the light itself. All of these ideas are in the game and don't require new animations. So frustrating.
Exactly this!! People have attacked me in other comments sections saying "it's a BB kit, not a gameplay kit, so of course they won't work". But we have so many other kits with functional objects based on what is already in the game (counters, home cinema, fire pit, stereo etc etc). The Sims team could have taken interactions THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE GAME and just used them for the objects in the kit. But instead, nothing is functional. And they've seemingly had this in development since September? That's plenty of time to have done this, Little Dica made those light switches functional in a day. It is just laziness pure and simple.
I'm honestly so disappointed by kits being a thing. If they have to be a thing, it would be cool if they were from our favorite modders or content creators to be able to give them more credit. But it just feels so cash grabby when they've completely taken away stuff packs and replaced them with kits which have a third of the content but for half the price??
I don’t hate kits to death as a concept, and I even like clutter items, but I feel like I could put this in my game and immediately forget I had any of it. It’s completely invisible. It’s a total non event that I will ignore now.
I thought they were going in a good path when they released desert luxe kit. Its not groundbreaking but it have good and versatile itens. Cluter kits is the most useless thing. I cant understand people who hype clutter. We could have a pool kit with slider and floats or a garage kit with functional cars, these are things that add to the game not clutter.
Especially since NOTHING is functional. Like why can't the toothpaste be put in the inventory and you can click on the electric toothbrush and brush your teeth, and the toothpaste runs low as you use it? A modder could definitely do something like that.
@@augusto7681 I get why builders get hyped over clutter, especially if they take screenshots for stories or do speed builds. But they definitely should NOT be costing this much. If you're putting a bunch of non-functional items in a pack, that's an outright scam. Clutter should be included in a bathroom pack with more showers and toilets. 🛁🚽
Like in theory, I absolutely love the items in this kit, they look nice and versatile with the swatches and like things that I'd use in my builds. But its really the fact that they're not functional that brings it down for me. Like we already have the ability to unclog a toilet and brush our teeth, I wish we could actually click on those item to do those things! Like maybe the plunger makes your toilet less likely to clog up or you can repair it faster? Get a moodlet from using an electric toothbrush? I have the plant kit and I use it in almost every build and they are also mostly decorative items but that's fine BC they're plants!
@@TVDAnnu That's the thing, themed kits would be perfect to include cross-pack compatibility or expand other existing packs, this bathroom kit would be a great addition for laundry stuff. But doing all that will take more time, effort, and money.
I said the same thing tbh, when they announced the kit I was like "Why not just include that in the everyday clutter??" Ridiculous to charge 5 dollars for the amount of nothing they give you
I am surprised that something as small as a kit managed to be broken. They forgot to put a flame on the lit candle that was the only functional item? 🤣
at this point they're making these kits only with youtubers/other content creators in mind, because thats the part of the community that needs more objects like this to ✨spice up✨their builds so all of them dont look the same
I use to be that person that would collect all the packs and when they introduced kits I quickly broke that habit. Bought a couple kits but no more. Refuse to buy my wedding stories. High school years isn't my jam. Genuinely just want game play that works. Sure, some of this stuff in this kit looks nice but it doesn't add any depth to the game. The candle isn't even a candle. There's a separate category for candles under lighting and when you click it, it'll say "Light this candle". Which means they couldn't even be bothered to make the candle, in this kit, an actual candle. They need to fire some people and hire people that actually care about quality control before releasing this crap.
Okay hold up... I don't play the Sims 4 so I was not aware that there was some bathroom clutter in the base game so I thought maybe this kit would add some nice 'new' items for those who want it. Y'all telling me they put out a kit of different décor designs that were already in the base game.. never thought I would say EA would leave me speechless after the my Wedding Stories but no they can in fact still make me speechless.
I totally agree on the point that in game there's not enough room to fit in so much clutter stuff especially when you don't use the move object cheat (I personally hardly use it). So most of them take up half a tile, on a counter you can put two or three, four maximum.
My first bathroom pack 😂😂😂😂😂 I wish we had a fuzzy swatch for the toilet rug I think we should have gotten a matching toilet top too like the fuzzy covers one 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, if you can get mods, Felixandre and Harrie made a new bathroom set CC that is Ikea inspired. I really wish EA would do more refreshes or new careers for gameplay.
You predicted the basement clutter kit😂😂😂 honestly at this point, i just watch your videos for entertainment because you're quite funny..not because I'm looking to buy any dlc..especially NOT KITS!!
I can find similar clutter cc in higher quality some of these look very chunky and pixelated. I feel like they add the unused concepts for the kits, like how country kitchen was released before cottage living even though they both have the same style and could have been added together. I wonder if these clutter kits are also concepts from the family oriented expansion pack they teased
I actually like this stuff but it's the most ridiculous thing to pay £5 for (also I love your idea for the hairdryer death lmao. Imagine if we got a gameplay kit that was just deaths)
But hear me out: S4 to S2 conversations. There is a group that is converting S4 dlc items into the S2. So you can have all this as mods but with a more in-depth game 🥰
Ngl I wanted rugs for the toilets for so long because it totally is a thing in Germany and I put some small rugs with move objects there but a "real" one would be cool and feel more like "my" sims and not American Sims only. I'll just look for CC 😁
@@FriendshipIsMagic1998 I didn't meant just toilet rugs, I meant the whole game is very american and small things like toilet rugs make it feel more familiar for me because besides other things we don't have (like the highschools are ) toilet rugs are something we (also) have
About the candle, there are other candles that just do not light up as an animation. It’s not just in this kit. I recently used these 3-4 candles that come this the base game and they also don’t have an animation. Even the candle lamps from the courtyard oasis kit don’t work. It’s really weird how some candles work like the ones from the laundry stuff pack and others just don’t. Needless to say, I only like 3-4 items from this pack and I’m definitely not wasting my money on this horribly rendered kit. I have to pay like 100 Turkish Liras here for one kit, I can literally feed myself for one week with that money. Also, why would I buy this kit when there is sometimes a sale on gameplay packs for like 160-170 Turkish liras? It’s just ridiculous.
@@gulizbahceci - hahaha, ben Satch‘i ve Sims 4 çok seviyorum 🥰 Satch’i geçen sene keşfettim ve çok komik buluyorum onu. 2018’de Almanya’dan Türkiye‘ye taşındım. Çalışıyorum işte, saçma sapan bir DLC, Kit veya Pack almamak için Satch’i izliyorum. Yorumları çok iyi.
EXACTLY! The pixelated toothpaste made me laugh so much. It looks ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS. I download a bunch of custom content and I have almost everything in this pack but for FREE. The only kit I’ve actually enjoyed is the pastel pop kit and found worth the price. Especially, if you’re following a family gameplay and need kid decor.
On the point of candles if they aren't going to animate the flame can we at least have a flame on the wick when it is on and not when it is off? There is a lack of attention to detail in the design team and this is just one example of that
I love your lol comments in these videos! ("If you wipe your bum like this you're a psycho ") I totally agree with this video. Sorry you spent your money to help us save ours.
The other thing in the glass with the dentures is a retainer, which I think is a neat clutter item actually for kids/young adults/otherwise storytelling-
appreciate the review, you have made very valid points. The Sims 4 has become an electronic hoarding pack. You know how hoarders have 5 of the same-colored shirts but with different thread colors.... lol...we are getting the same things over and over again with no gameplay at all. If 1 item introduced some different type of gameplay it would be worth 3$ at the least. If they gave us 2 items like the blow dryer (electrocution, kids with wet hair because they did it wrong, power outages from overloading the sockets in apartments) and the light switch at least with an option to control the lights like other lamps OMG 5$ it would be!
Idk if anyone else has commented but the second swatch of the dentures I think is a retainer. Also the toilet carpets used to be a thing here, my grandma had a whole matching set of bathroom rugs including a toilet mat (even though her loo was tiny) but I’ve not seen one in a long time. I saw this and wondered how tf a stuff kit could be broken, but I guess they did manage it lmao. This stuff is…kinda cute I guess but it does have the exact same issues as the other clutter…my first thought was how much more we got in the pastel pop kit (bigger, actually functional items that are genuinely unlike anything else in the game but really not enough to make a whole stuff or game pack about, which is the only way kits should exist imo) and the campers kit (which I don’t own but agree has so much going on) compared to these “clutter” kits. Ridiculous
I think if some of those items were functional, like the electric razor and the toothbrush, light switches, the dentures/retainers, etc. It wouldn't be so bad. Maybe they'll do like they did with the everyday clutter kit and make some items functional.
I legitimately don't understand why EA doesn't send people like you these kits months before release so that you can tell them this shit beforehand, they can fix it, and then they can actually have a FUNCTIONAL product (if not a truly good one) by release date... PLUS ppl like you would then be able to say "look, it all works!"
I like clutter, but it might be a bit before I even consider buying this. I kinda like the lack of flame on the candle, because it means you can size it down without having a floating flame above it. If they don't fix it, then I wouldn't be mad
Imagine the level of suckage you have to be at as a developer to make a kit with zero functionality or gameplay alongside amateur level models and texture quality, and have it STILL be broken in some aspects... Its a bloody talent, mate.
With lilsimsie you can tell she’s trying so hard to be positive about these packs because she loves the sims, and with satchonsims he’s just so sick of EA’s shit 😂 I’m here for it though because me too! At this point I’d rather tell people to pirate the sims than to buy even one pack. Especially if they’re just coming into the franchise considering the full game costs over $600 USD
SatchOnSims - Agree that the kit is sort of just - not really all that necessary. Plenty of base game items, and plenty of cc. On a side note, your commentary is always sensible yet hilarious, so we stuck you in our episode on the ‘Bathroom Clutter’ kit: ‘He’s a Sagittarius. So if you ask for his opinion - you’re going to get it.’
Your laugh is so infectious and made this way more enjoyable 😹🖤 totally agree that the items should have actual functions instead of being part of a collection
You brought up such a good point about the gameplay, The Sims 4 is literally a GAME. It would've been awesome if the sims could actually use the toothbrush, hair dryer, etc. They really did the bare mininum and mods still have to clean up their mess. This shit is so frustrating
I'll just say, that the thing in the glass other than the dentures was a retainer. Very common for post-braces care. They keep the teeth from shifting back to where they were before. IT was pretty hard to tell though. I have two (one went missing, then I found it), and I still could barely tell what it was.
I have seen other streamers and their followers raving over this kit, they think it is excellent for builders. As long as people do that EA will keep giving us crap. We need to stand together and call them out for their greed and laziness.
That’s how I feel too. They’re never going to stop until we stop giving them our money. But I don’t feel that’s going to happen. Until majority of us realize they’re just money grabbing & giving us shittt
I agree with everything you said also the base game clutter kit is so much prettier. I'd love for sims to use hair dryers, the lotions and get some bath salts in there. It's just really sloppy work. That plunger would also be fun to use on sinks and toilets. 😭 I'm not wasting my money on this
The pastel pop kit is so nice because it was a collab with Plumbella, she wanted a good amount of stuff that was thought out and cohesive. The only kit I will be buying is the pastel one lol
If a basement clutter kit were to come out, It better have medieval torture chamber equipment in it. I mean, what else are sims basement good for if not locking sims? My vampire sim keeps her food in there, its practicly just an over sized fridge.
These kits are reminiscent of the kits that were part or the sims 3 store. They're not necessary to have but a nice option if you're not someone who want mods or can use them. Honestly I don't mind the kits being itty bitty bits of crap, if I don't see value in it I just don't buy. I'm not into having sims houses with just aesthetic clutter. 😅
This looks so underwhelming. Not sure I want to get this now. Thank you for being one of the most honest Sims RU-vidrs. It’s refreshing to see someone not pretending to like something just to be on EA’s “good side”.
Just commented something similar in Lil Simsies video about this pack how the Sims team has an opportunity to add these creations to the base game so we can enjoy these types of things for free. Other games are able to achieve this type of updating to the base game for free(ie. Minecraft). They instead choose to get money out of every little thing they make. I would be so much more willing to spend my money on packs if they were to give more in the base game.
I appreciate you so much for posting this, this just reassures me of why i havent bought the last 4 kits lol. Like its useless stuff and the quality of the textures of the items etc are crap to put it nicely. If it was better quality more ppl would be willing to pay that's the thing. Watch alot will still buy but not as much as their previous sales! Also another note i've never seen towel racks that long ever in my life lol
I wish they'd just decide to outsource all CAS, build, and buy creation to CC creators. That way, we'd get better quality and better-looking assets. They've already come to the realization that they're not good at building and outsourced that, so why not this as well.
I'm so glad you got out all the bathroomy clutter already in the base game. I thought the shower caddy was a little cool, until you pulled out the one already in the game. I'd completely forgotten about it because I don't use it. I really liked the everyday clutter kit, however I will not be buying this one. If they had combined the two that would have been great but this is just unacceptable
One thing I noticed is that kits kinda feel like some type of inside club, there are certain people that buy everything EA releases regardless of it’s good or not, these days you can’t get anything from the gallery cause you need at minimum 5 kits 😭 also it feels like they’re trying to appeal to console players who can’t have mods but they’re doing it in such an annoying way, they stopped doing stuff packs and decided to make something even smaller so they don’t have to put any functional gameplay in and console players will eat it up bc they have limited content. I feel like if EA took the time to look at any comment section of sims content the game would be fixed and everyone would love it, but they’re deciding to do what THEY want and not what the people who are actually buying their product want so they can release lackluster and lazy content. If they decided to fix packs and bugs and do pack refreshes again I would purchase every pack, but half of them are too buggy. They won’t even fix the basics for example, when I tell my sim to eat something if they’re sitting down, they’ll get up and walk to the furthest place to eat instead of a chair and table right next to them. I know there’s a mod that makes it so sims prefer to sit at tables to eat but like why do I even need a mod for something like that? EA should just fix it. I shouldn’t have to rely on mods to make the game playable.
I know I shouldn't say it but- I'll say it anyway: a lot of BB custom content creators would've made ten times as many/better objects for free. P.S. Appreciate the review! I'm so on board with the gameplay comment - they could've added gameplay with this kit but they just... didn't. I would've enjoyed new deaths with electrocution like you said, or sims nicking themselves with the shaver, plunger accidentally causing toilets to clog, or even toothpaste running out. Just... something at least.
Most of this things could be in the base game ._. The swatches, some of them are ugly, and the clutter is like, this toothpaste but with other toothpaste
For me kits is really for people who doesn't use the debug when they are building stuff. Because literally everything here can be found in the debug like common
Sims 4 kits makes me miss sims 3 store contents. At least they got some effort put into it. Like remember when they used to sell us worlds packaged with CAS items and new furnitures and maybe some gameplay items? The sims 3 world dlcs were on par with or maybe even better than stuff packs.
I am obsessed with your channel! Are you going to do cottage living content? I am new to sims 4 and am really considering it & I love your take on things!
The blue swatch of the dentures in a glass looked like it was a retainer We also very much do have floor mats for toilets in the UK 👀 Though i guess it depends where you live here
0:50 I don't know what it's called in english, but basically it's a thing you wear on your mouth, often along getting braces, that moves your jaws into the correct position. I had to wear one when I got mine, can't say itswas the most useful thing, plus makes speaking hard. Hope this helps anyone wondering.
Back in September a friend sent me money on steam so I bought both kits. I am ashamed of myself. The quality is so bad for some objects, but the burnout is real and building is what I mostly do so I’ll take whatever I can get to decorate. The rugs disappointed me the most, but I do use a lot of the last clutter kit we got so I’m guessing same thing will happen with this one.
What I really hate about kits is that I love clutter- like when I build I always wish there was more to clutter up spaces and a lot of the stuff we have, whether it's base game or from a pack, doesn't work for every build. It's so sad (and even sadder because it's not surprising) that a few clutter items that really only matter when you're a detail-oriented builder cost so much money. It completely removes the chance they'd ever add anything to base game cause it's right there for you to buy. I tend to just use cc cause it's free and they have all the clutter you could ever want. The only downside is I sometimes think I want to upload builds to the gallery (even when I don't the thought is just there lol) and then I can't use cc! They could have easily compiled clutter from a few of the latest kits and made a bigger pack out of it that would be worth your money at least. Personally I don't think the items would need to be functional in game play either - sure would be nice, but Sims 4 is just bad at it. If my sim is going to take two hours blow drying their hair cause the team thinks we want some fancy animation with it (that won't even work properly cause the game has too many stupid animations)- I don't want it lol. I'd absolutely love a clutter pack, but not a handful of kits that cost me 5€ each. Especially when there's bound to be items you don't want/won't ever use. It's s very disheartening thing about kits too. Maybe you really love half the stuff, but the other half is just 💩 I just wish no one would buy them so they'd stop making them lol
I was actually excited for this one. I like a nice bathroom in real life. But I guess I was thinking like... Bathroom clutter and bathroom decor and new tubs or something. Ah, but alas, that would be a STUFF PACK
I was surprised how low quality the items look. Like that cup had a retainer in it. You weren’t even able to tell because of how pixelated it was, also shocked that there wasn’t that many swatches on the towels or rugs
Any germs you might have on your wall will have already been on the toilet roll itself anyway. Those same germs are on your toilet seat, the sink, your toothbrush, the towel and the light switch. At a certain point, you have to throw up your hands about where germs are.
If things in this pack are broken...I just KNOW the babies update is gonna crack tf out of everybody's game🥲😂 Also, if any of you guys want functional light switches, the Hotel Bedroom CC Pack by Sixam comes with some.
Ok... is that a retainer in the glass? I saw the dentures in the glass but... is that a retainer in the other "swatch"? Also, let's just assume the candle is battery-operated. Lol
if they had included the bathroom clutter and stuff in a dentistry expansion pack with a career and animations and stuff i think i would have liked it a hell of a lot more I would have liked to see my sims going for their check ups and stuff which I mean...there's a mod for it. But for an official expansion it would've been cool. i can get pretty much everything from this kit for free by just downloading CC lmao
