Which Sims 4 Kits Are Worth Buying? (My Honest Opinion) 

the little campers kit has a lot of things from other packs. so if you can’t afford the packs you can get a fire pit from outdoor retreat, a swing set from seasons, and a projector from movie hangout. it’s the best kit by far

Satch is the movement he sees through EAs lies and gives us the best of the game

I just realized EA has released so many kits that I completely lost track. I hadn’t heard of the moonlight chic or first fits😂😂

For a game that has *22 worlds,* 2 being desert, one sand and *19 being grassy,* I would love to see a world with different terrain paint like same basic *earth,* same more sandy ones too and desert like sand that is not bright orange. Then we could actually have a place to use kits like the Moroccan one. Specially if they added a few more wallpapers to basegame that are not American siding. It may come as shock to North Americans but not every country is cover in lush grass.

Friendly reminder that there are simmers who make the cas items bgc and you can always choose this as an option

Satch is game changer material. I’m confident he would actually provide *feedback* instead of kissing EAs butt and scream his head off in excitement for the buggy bare minimum.

I bought Courtyard Oasis for the build items. They are quite unique, we don't have anything similar in any other pack. They have plain swatches which can be used in fantasy builds (which I intend to do, yes, with Moroccan architecture kit I'm gonna build my own small Erebor) :)

My favorite CAS kit is the Incheon Airport style because I realized i use pieces from that a lot. My favorite Build kit is honestly the country kitchen one because I do a lot of farming/cottage living family gameplay.

I’m definitely going to be purchasing little campers with the new “generations” pack

The moonlight chi kit have some really nice clothes. I use the plants of blooming kit in almost every house.

So…Little Campers does kind of introduce new gameplay. Or at least, the gameplay it includes isn’t all base game. The yeti jenga is a reskin of the llama game previously only available in Get Together. The s’more-making interaction on the campfire was previously Outdoor Retreat only. Swing sets are in a few expansions, but also aren’t base game. I really like this kit actually.

as a family and casual players, i really recommend little campers so muchhh. by bought just one kit i can fill a hole of wanting backyard stuff, toddler stuff and movie hangout stuff :D

Love your videos! And thanks for always being honest and not hyping up stuff just for the sake of it ❤️

But the dust kit is def not worth it. When they are in your inventory all they do is vacuum. But I NEVER play with it. The plant one is my FAVORITE. I use those plants in every build and I love how small they are The camping stuff is super cute! However, I think kits are a bit overpriced and I 100% just prefer to get CC

Am I the only one who dosen't use CC. I've personaly don't have anything against it but I like the challenge of haveing to work with a limited selectipn of items both in CAS and Build Buy

Great review! You have inspired me to pick up a couple of the CAS kits I wasn't sure about.

I love Little Campers Kit the best. 😎. Busted Dust should have come with brooms and new mops. I build more so the CAS kits don’t appeal. It’s a pity Oasis Courtyard Kit doesn’t come with a few more items to extend the theme into the whole house.

I like courtyard oasis the most ! it suit the best in oasis springs, very inspiring and I got plenty of idea what kind of house I want to build

I used to use a ton of cc in build mode but found I’d spend a lot of time looking for it or trying to keep up with the latest releases rather than playing. Then I started to see videos of all the amazing things people are doing with in game items and deleted all my cc on impulse! Now I’m happier and feel more creative… my hard drive is happier too! I have a couple of the kits but the Blooms kit is definitely my favourite, I haven’t touched the country kitchen one, you are right, there is are better options already in game!

So I'm not really a big fan of the kits, especially since most of it seems like things they could have put in different updates of already existing packs. However, something I would actually love for them to make is "history items" I personally really enjoy history or decades challenges, and it's such a specific niche, that there's no way in hell we are going to get proper packs for it, so the kits would be amazing to get 1800 style clothing or items.

Industrial loft kit is very “okay”, once you’ve used it a single time, you don’t really wanna use it again

As someone who loves colour, pastel pop is the kit i use almost all the time, especially combined with high school years. It just makes me so happy looking at haha

Call me broke but I think most of this should have been in the base game like the essential build items

I think I only got all CAS outfits since I like different cultures, men clothing and kid clothing etc. Then for gameplay I only got the vacuum kit plus little campers. I never bought clutter or build stuff since I’m not a builder.

6:54 I do plan to get the clutter kits eventually, but I would say of the 30 items in the Everyday Clutter kit, I only expect to use maybe five of them regularly. In the Bathroom Clutter kit I think it’ll be more, but really I’d be getting it for the toilet paper rolls and the light switches. I expect to use everything that has voidcritter swatches, but that’s not what I’d be getting it for.

The little campers kit is my favorite! Great breakdown I was wondering what to buy next lol.

I’m so happy with all the packs I have, Thank You Satch for helping me make the best choices! My collection is complete aside kits and I will never give in to the Hamster 😅 or cash grabs 😊

The Carnaval Kit its just so damn ugly I can't lol I'm a brazilian and while I was happy to have some of my culture inside the game (I enjoy making my sims eat brigadeiro! :D) the clothes are just... so ugly

The thing with the gallery is that I use custom content in my own game but if I get the whim to upload something I don't include that custom content - best of both worlds. It's not like owning custom content means you have to use it in every build. I get a fair amount of downloads in the gallery (not thousands but still) which always kind of stuns me but I think it is because I use limited packs (not more than 4) and attach hashtags about location it was built on and bedroom no's. Also I don't over clutter so people can do their own cluttering. Just ordinary playable houses. I have not bought any of the kits and I probably won't however the other day I had a good look at them and thought about which ones I would if I ever lost my resolve and it was the Courtyard Oasis and Decor to the max with bloomin a maybe . . .. I see no point at all in the fashion ones - they're mostly horrendously ugly IMO lol.

I’ve started implementing bust the dust in my family gameplay save and it’s definitely been improved in my game since I first bought it when it came out. It’s cute but if you don’t want to do chores in your game or hate the look of the dust then I would not get it

I've actually managed to make some really nice outfits in cas using the carnival streetwear kit deffo better for hot weather and party wear tbf

This was a good review ! I agree with it.

Me personal favourites and worth buying are industrial loft,plant kit, desert kit and campers kit

Thanks, I forgot about some of these kits

2 of the kits were free on ps4 a while back. So I only have those 2. blooming rooms and desert luxe kits. Which i do enjoy them.

For people who have or want bust the dust, you'll need basmental dust mod, it fixes everything ea forgot to.

i was just talking to my niece yesterday about the sims kits that is a coincidence

i love the industrial kit sm

As a person who loves sims family life, you can keep laundry and bust the dust.

Hey Satch, try again my wedding stories.. I've tried it today and it seemed like some interactions were actually working.. I'm not saying it's perfect (it's way far from that🤣) but I was surprised..

Short answer: NONE I must admit there are some cute stuff from the kits, just that they aren't worth the money.

I used to hate kits and thought they were overpriced for what they were but now I actually like them. They don’t bring on the same FOMO feelings. Also, with inflation they’re around the same price as an iced coffee but last longer.

i’m still getting the oasis kit🤭

one thing i disagree with you on, the fridge and stove from the country kitchen kit are actually better than the ones you get with the cottage living expansion

As a brazilian the carnaval streetwear is the best kit you cannot change my mind

Desert Luxe is worth it just for the curtain mount. You can put one curtain on each side of a wall and fill the middle with curtain mounts. And you can put the curtain mount over any curtain in the game. It should honestly be a base game item. If I hadn’t gotten Desert Luxe for free, it would be worth the buy just for that curtain mount.

Idk if you will see this comment but For the Courtyard Oasis kit, I am just grateful that we have it as a morrocan player, it waw very much needed, but I agree, The items are very limited and you can't even build a proper morrocan Courtyard with it. Arab and North African Players just get nothing in this game, our cultures are completely different but we still have to play with American sims because there is absolutely no representation for us in the game. We need a full pack with Actual Gameplay in it ! We lack Holidays, we need more traditions to much our holidays like Ramadan and Eid, more Hijab Swatches, An actual Arab or Morrocan world with many areas and there is a loot to get inspired of. We need Traditional Clothing, the Caftan, the Other traditional clothing in North African And Arab Countries.... The most basic Cas and Build objects alone can fill as the Cas and Build mode just like Get Together. The idea is soo fun and it adds diversity, representation and a different thing to the game. I wish youtubers could make a video about this

There is never enough clutter 😂

8:30 I really thought he said "caskets" instead of "CAS kits"

I played a bit with Bust the Dust, and it was BAD ! How about having neat sims just throwing piles of dirty clothes everywhere in the house whenever they change clothes, even when they do it right next to an empty laundry basket ? It was THAT bad. There are free CCs that offer basically all of Courtyard Oasis offers and a lot more. Have Little Camper Kit, and I always use stuff from it. Just wish that the outdoors electronics would be waterproof... I absolutely don't care for any clutter based kit. I already have more than enough in the base game, various packs that I own and from CC. I didn't even use a fifth of the clutter items that I already have, so, why spend to have still more ? Want to give skirts to your male Sims ? Just uncheck the masculine clothing preference in CaS. No real need to get a kit for that.

Do I want to buy any kits? No lol cash grab I'm just here for Satchs opinions lmao

Oh darn I own a lot of these kits... I do have to say, though, if EA Maxis did more kits like Little Campers they get less grief. But that would involve work and they just do not care.

I love how you stand up for masculinity. We appreciate that

I'll wait until they're on a good sale. 7.99 x ?? is a lot of $ 4:58 Don't leave the screen outside in the rain (I have 3 kits, desert lux (free), pastel & kids jungle).

I like them all. For a couple bucks, why not

Thanks for being real

you look very attractive today

Nice! 🍒😃

A lot of kits Ea could easily pack into larger packs. I bought the menswear set because I wanted more fashion for men. But I have to say the full body outfits are not very pretty. The sweaters and pants are actually okay

The stuff in the menswear kit just baffles me. Are people honestly paying tons of money for extremely ugly sweaters with HOLES in them? This is honestly, hands down, the ugliest clothing I've seen in my life, and I've lived through the 80s.

I play on Xbox and yeh it’s not really fair we have no access to cc I’m assuming it’s just a way to make more money of the console peasants 😢

It's weird how inconsistent these are when it comes to the quality of items

HA I Love the dust kit. Know why? I love when the dust bunnies come around, especially during a new playthrough, then I ask them to find me something and they bring back a 10k boat sculpture LOL This literally just happened to me last night. Usually it takes a while for them to find something THAT valuable, but happened first time asking that time. They also find RARE plants, flowers, seeds etc that you can plant and make money from that too. At least that's why I LOVE the DUST KIT! So, again, it's subjective and its funny to me you're like "DON'T GET THIS BECAUSE I HATE IT", just because **you** hate it doesn't mean everyone will hate it. Most people were complaining because they thought it should be in a game pack instead. You're telling people they will never use something because **You** don't but they could end up loving it, so with that said, if someone is unsure if you should get a kit or not, look up a YT video SHOWCASING the kit, not a opinionated video. It's not a review, it's just showcasing what's in the kit, then base your decision off if you like what you see in those videos, rather than a video of a gay dude voicing HIS opinion. Everyone is different, don't let this dude boss you around lol

I want it them all #Thesims4packs

Looking rather sultry in the thumbnail picture, Satch😂

No any of them is worth buying IMO. They're just like paid CC.

People do download things off the gallery that's not custom content. What are you talking about

Why only Maxis Match CC creators 😬. Alpha CC is bae. Also finally someone who just calls out modern menswear in simple terms. Hideous skirts for men. Bizarre. And I'm a gay man and also do not have internalised homophobia.

10:20 It's okay to personally not like that style or kit but to say that men shouldn't wear these kinds of clothes is pretty cringe. Men should be able to do what they want without ridicule as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. It's okay to not be attracted to every single man but it's not okay to think all men should conform to your preferences. But I agree that the sims isn't really the best place for high fashion and we desperately need more everyday menswear. I'm not a huge fan of the kit either because I think the clothes look clunky and aren't really good representations of what this style looks like irl.

You are so wrong, there are much more than 15 items in the Country Kitchen Kit. Counters and cabinets have several different forms. So it actually has over 30 items. And has the best rustic kitchen. It's also one of the few kitchen sets that have the doors on the correct sides of the island counters. But then you recommend the plant Kit? Haha. Sorry, but I guess your idea of what is good is very contrary to what many others. Case in point your thoughts on which bathtubs... the ones you claimed that no one used, got a large amount of comments saying otherwise.... so are your views ironic or just to get reactions? If so, then you have succeeded. Personal tastes are one thing, but at least try to get the number of items correct. Keep in mind some build and buy items do not show up on the online lists.

10:21 ???

firsttttt

I honestly thought you were gay 😦

People do download others builds on the gallery lmao. I meant to post this when you said it before. WhinyBrit literally downloads others builds almost every other video. FGG downloads peoples builds, mostly through a hashtag she gives. Others I used to watch but no longer would also do that. And if you give a hash tag here, those who have the specific CC but don't feel like building could download the builds of everyone who did build something and put it on the gallery.
