Yes! Every time they give us something they had simmers help designing its so good. Basics are very needed in this game, they have a lot of stuff and almost nothing matches
This is a pack that was much needed in my opinion. It seems like we have a ton of every other color scheme and style, but neutral tones that match its very nice to have now!
I live in Dahab, Egypt I could class myself as in the desert yes we want air but windows with no glass would mean my house would fill with dust and sand faster than it currently does hahaha. Can't wait to play with this pack
@@shelbybilicki the sheer is actually pretty annoying. try looking at the windows with the curtains at different angles. the transparency of the curtains is messing with the windows. sigh
@@cherrybeetree I see what you mean now, it's just a slight graphical stutter when light shifts in a certain way. It's not to bother some to me, only happens when the camera is moving.
Even though I don’t build in this style that often I am very thankful that we got this for free. The items look very well made! Maybe fun to build an apartment inspired by these items?
Deli! I have an idea. So for the patio area, what if it was two "rooms" or sections? So the first section would be a sitting room / sunroom with the folding doors leading to the second section that has the bar and stone couches? Just an idea. Great video, I'm really excited for the build and to download it :)
15:14 It would not make sense to but that fireplace indoors! It designed as an outdoor fireplace with a chimney vent at the top. In real life a fireplace like that indoors would release all the smoke in your house!
The Gallery sounds like a magnificent idea! Also when I saw the kit, I immediately got the association to the Oasis Springs houses, like the Caliente house etc. Maybe people would be interested in some renovations with it.
As someone from the southwest was sad that there was only one Native design, the rug design on the fold chair, thought it would be more Adobe mud home style... but the dirt color is correct!
I love the kit I'm already feeling so inspired 😊 currently building a beautiful backyard which I'm never into doing but this kit is sooo fun to work with!
I had the exact same reaction to the curtains as a builder, love these videos and love this kit!. Yeah the extra rods dont go where you thought they would but still such a cool addition, really glad they came out with this.
I built a lounge with this pack yesterday - after watching this I'm going to have to go back and make some edits. So many hidden details! Looking forward to seeing your build.
You should build a Santa Fe styled adobe home. They’re modern and contemporary, especially since the pack is based off the southwest us (Arizona and New Mexico). We have a lot of adobe houses here in the sw, both traditional and modern/contemporary. This area is widely known for filming movies and world renowned artists. I’d love to see what you do!!
The new wall and matching floor tiles lend themselves beautifully to industrial styles. Now if they would only give us metal flooring that matches the metal stairs. I loved that TwistedMexi's Better Build Buy had the kit separated by name as soon as it downloaded. The snap point on the curtain rod can be elevated with the Tool mod by .3 to line up. Hope they fix that. LOVE that sofa.
Super excited to have this free kit. I snagged the base game when it was on sale at a ridiculous low price and have not really bought more packs yet, as I figure out my gameplay (noob here). I am a sucker for neutrals, so this kit is perfect. Thanks for showcasing and cant wait to see what you build with it.
I would love to see a modern contemporary dessert build, like those beautiful dessert home interiors u see in interior design magazines! I’m so excited to download this pack as I’ve only been playing with base game ever since I first downloaded sims (broke asf) and so another suggestion is if u want to challenge urself even more, u could build a house only using this newest kit and base game (but I totally get if u wanna utilize all the packs to make something that will stand out and pop) as people who just have basegame and this new kit could download one of ur builds! Ps: love u deli!
I live in a desert. Those windows with that like... Built in awnings are in a lot of the newer, taller buildings. Also, I see stuff like this around me all the time. Everything has to be sun proof. Everything. The sun will destroy most stuff by basically baking it in the summer. So honestly, good job on this pack. The linen style chairs are good as well since linen is hardy enough for the sun.
There's a really cool Frank Lloyd Wright house called the 'Trophy House' which is a sort of desert house in LA, I'd love to see you recreate or take inspiration from it. It's very unique.
I may be greedy but I’d love BOTH a contemporary desert build AND a gallery build 😅😅 So excited to download the kit! It will be my first kit and looks great
I like your gallery build idea. I’d also like to see the luxe pack styled in a traditional like home. Like if a simmer was trying to spruce up their space or patio if that makes sense
Deli I have a build series idea for you - could you do a series building like accurate homes in different styles? Like where you research how they are irl and then you do your best to recreate them in the sims? I loved the video you did a bit ago where you researched a really neat home style in (I forgot - New Orleans maybe?) and in this video you mentioned you wanted to do more research before doing the build - I love this idea, it makes it so fun to watch (I do love your straight deli creativity too but it’s nice to shake it up sometimes😜). Anyway - love you❤
Haven't played ts4 in a couple of weeks, watching your videos just fulfills me :p but this free pack just motivated me with building ideas and the need to make houses. I also feel like this pack should have been added as a base game update tbh, but oh well. Great review, ty for this video!!
this is so random but about a year ago i started (and never finished) building the nakagin capsule tower... the concrete wallpaper added in this kit would be perfect for it tbh 😩bless
A piece of advice to Xbox users who the kit isn't showing up for. Go to the gallery, select any lot that uses the kit, set the kit icon from that menu, and you'll be redirected to the Xbox store where you'll be able to claim the kit.
all i could think about looking through this kit was how much Deli was gonna LÖVE these items! and to think i was right and its so well done and i need a build from deli using this pack ASAP and im very existed thank you.
I just want to say that people have been sleeping on desert aesthetic 🙈it’s so beautiful! We took a vacation to Sedona, Arizona last year and this is the vibe, the southwest is beautiful along with the Sonoran desert. I recxomend looking at Sedona air bnbs and even some in New Mexico to get some inspo 🤍I wish they had added some desert potted plants or some rugs or pottery, something with turquoise or clay, but I’m in love with everything in here Edit: Taos New mexico earthship home is totally up your alley Deli! Its a fully sustainable home in the southwest
as soon as I saw the title of this vid I knew you were talking about the curtain rod XD when I was checking out all the items in this pack myself, I got so excited for you Deli cx
one thing I have to say about the off the ground big couch, if it was realistic, it would have 6 legs, not just 4. because with 4 legs, it is more likely to break from the middle :D
Please please do a gallery! I would love to see another way to use these items besides a desert home since so many others have done it. I think a gallery could look amazing!
I wasn’t too excited about this pack but I’m not a builder. When I see people who are builders use the items it helps to give me ideas. Now that I’ve seen people use this kit it I like it a bit more
You can always tell when a simmer was involved in the design process. I really like this kit, but yeah the curtains are gamechangers! We need more now!
This is definitely a Brutalist vibe, and also a bit Mid-Century Modern (but in neutral colors). Could be interesting to combine this with Mid-Century Modern items from Get Famous OR the Base Game Mission style (because it’s also Southwestern). Or Batuu 😂
U should build a bar/house USEING this kit to make a dessert like look. Either in Oais Spring world or another world. But make the bar/house as sheek and trendi as you possibly CAN. If that help for an idea. 👍✌️❤️ Over all I also think that Evelyn did nice job on this kit. 👍🌟✌️
Another random moment brought to the comments by yours truly! When I was a kid, a teacher gave a very nifty trick for the dessert/ desert spelling issue that has stuck with me for decades... you're more likely to want seconds for dessert. (There's a second s in the sweet treat.)
I think by having simmers help design stuff it really does help EA get a different kinda perspective I guess I guess the best way I could put it is like someone who designs cars And then having the people who actually have to drive them pitch in to help see what works better here and there
Video idea! You should take a build from one of the worlds and put it into a different world. Then renovate it to belong in the new world. For example: take a build from oasis springs put it in willow creek and make it look like it belongs in willow creek rather than oasis springs.
I would love to see a desert-themed home, like a vacation getaway house that is very "sandy" with light colours but wood textured. I feel like that would look quite nice
I know this was several months ago posted haha but you mentioned thinking desert should be spelled with two S's like dessert. My dad taught me a trick for knowing how to spell and which is which hahah. Desert has one S bcuz its Just Sand and nothing else. Dessert has two S's bcuz its full of Sugar and Sweet.
I knew you were gonna be excited about this. 😂 it just really bugs me that the simple luxe chair in the coral swatch is wrong to me. Should’ve been light wood frame with coral cushion. Very clear to see if you put the simple lux arm chair and the lounge chair next to each other. But those curtains are chef’s kiss
I was freaking out over the curtains as well, I have been DYING for curtain rods, it would be nice to just get a free update with ones to match the other base game ones
Thank you for mentioning it was free. I didn't know EA was going to do that. Of course when I went to get it, I had to update my game, which I last did October 2021. I figured since I wasn't going to be able to go into the game again until I got a new graphics card, I would hold off updating it. At least now it's up to date, and I will have a new kit, the first one I have gotten, to build with when I am able to play TS4 again. It's nice to see them offering the base game for free for those who don't have it. The last time it was free, May of 2018 or 2019, that's when I got the game.
The curtains and the couch are definitely my two favorite items from the kit, but everything is stunning (especially when it’s free!) The color palette reminds me a lot of the CC you tend to use lol so I look forward to you using these items!
I saw this last night (I'm in Europe) and immediatly thought of you... I assumed you were sleeping because of the time difference 😆 I have been waiting very impatiently for you to build with this... I am not a builder... and not a modern style builder... but I LOVE your style... so am now looking to you for inspiration 😆😆😆 I can't wait to see what you do with this stuff
Maybe a young family build? The parents could be architects/artists who finally got their big break and now they are moving to the desert to find inspiration for their next project. They don’t even have to be parents, maybe a couple and then her younger sister moving in with her since she’s now the caregiver. The younger sister could be getting into design as well, either with clothes or digital art? And a dog ofc hehe 😁💌
I have a question about the new door. Since it’s open does that mean, if you have seasons, during winter your sims will get cold inside if you use it? I only recently got seasons so not sure how everything works but surely with a big gap in the wall the inside would be cold too, right?
