Now we need a build with the "Not Worth Buying" and "Delete" kits only lol

I will always be annoyed by the Country Kitchen Kit, because the idea of kits was to "add items that just didn't belong in a bigger pack", and yet the Country Kitchen Kit came out just weeks before the trailer for Cottage Living. It so much feels like the took the set of assets that they chose not to put in the expansion, and polished it enough to put out as a kit. Had the CL expansion been known about, I doubt many people would have bought the kit, but at the time it was an aesthetic that we just didn't really have. It almost immediately put the lie to kits being items that wouldn't fit in a bigger pack, and for me, that lie is what has soured my attitude to kits, far more than anything else.

Ironically, the Industrial Loft Kit is actually my favourite build/buy kit, I love the industrial style so muchh

The everyday clutter kit gets so much use in my builds, but I definitely feel it should have been a base game update really! The Pastel Pop kit was such a surprise hit for me though, it's in every teen/kid room I make!

I will forever complain, though, at how easily the outdoor projector TV in Little Campers breaks just as easily in the rain as any other TV...

I love the plant kits, clutter kits, and the basement kit because they help me make my houses look actually lived in, as opposed to like, staged for resale, you know? So much of the furniture in the sims is so neat and clean and sharp lines and these kits help me break that up

I totally agree about the kit bundles, I wish that was an option. I’d totally get 3 for $10, but I really can’t justify $5 each. Or even adding a kit option to the bundle where you can get 1 expansion, 1 game pack, and 1 stuff pack. Toss a kit in there for another $2 and I’d probably get one the next time I splurge on DLC.

I personally LOVE the "Decor to the Max" kit I just wish people would understand that maximalism isn't just vibrant colors. You can have a completely neutral space/style and still be very "busy". Textures, patterns, layering etc. can be very maximalist depending on how it's styled. I wishes they focused more on those aspects.

as a builder, I would like to see a ranking video like this that’s build specific for all packs!!

I love decor to the max kit. I use it all the time, mostly because I love maximalist decor and eclectic style overall. Once I’ve built an entire house with elements from this kit, including wallpapers, rug, couch and all decor.

I LOVE watching these because it shows how different we play. I always always use the industrial kit, the blooming rooms, and decor to the max ALL the time. but for simsie she would delete them 😂

Industrial loft is one of my favourites, especially the plants

The walls and tiles from Courtyard Oasis get overlooked a lot, I reckon - I use those all the time and they're some of my favourites in the game (and never use the windows and such for the same reasons as in the video).

Basement clutter is my fav kit, as someone who doesn’t own supernatural packs it has rundown things that aren’t in anything other than supernatural packs , cracks and stains etc it’s a game changer. The plant kit is sooo cute 🥰

I'm SO surprised she put the basement kit in Not Worth Buying, considering how excited she was about it before and how much she really uses it

definitely agree abt the cottage living/country kitchen similarities. I used country kitchen in nearly every build until I got cottage living, now I usually use a combo of the two lol.

The reason the little campers kit is tagged as outdoor activities, is because they tagged the expansions and game packs as well.

Absolutely love the Book Nook kit but I wish it had proper corner varients as well, I hate the look of when I have to cheat it

The industrial kit is my all time fave! 😂 I guess I just like making my sims live in grungy industrial metal apartments 🤪

Oddly enough, the Pastel Pop kit is the only kit I don't own. It's too...pastel? Round? Cartoony I guess. Everyday Clutter is my must have as well.

I don't love kits but I don't hate them. It's to EA's advantage to encourage players to buy every kit, but I actually like how niche they are. Some of the kits simsie dislikes are ones I use all the time, like blooming rooms and the loft kit. You really can pick and choose what you like, and most of the build kits in particular are a lot higher quality than a lot of the early stuff packs, despite lacking gameplay. They're still a worse deal content wise but if the items are higher quality and more desirable, they're gonna be more useful to players anyways. I hope they keep the quality up and don't make another bathroom clutter kit. That being said, I prefer any kit to the Sims 3 store. The Sims 4 is definitely scamming with these packs but sometimes I feel like we've forgotten just how bad it can be 😂😭

I absolutely love the blooming rooms kit! For a very long time it was the only one I had. I does have some weird things that you pointed out that I don't really use but the other plants and the plant stand I use all the time! And as much as I'd love to have the greenhouse kit, I just feel like with seasons n other packs I can make a similar enough greenhouse that I just can't justify buying the kit! Same with the clutter ones.

I looove the industrial loft kit, it fits my build style so well!!

I love the 'Delete' section Kits. But then I love the Basement Kit too. It's the heart bed and the old stuff. Ironically the Courtyard Oasis Kit stucco is my most used wallpaper. It's just perfect and not flat like the basegame ones.

Ironically, I use that decor to the max coffee table in every outdoor space. And I also use the industrial lift kit all of the time too.

The blooming rooms kit is one of my favs, I just did the James Turner survey and went through all kits again. I love how much the furniture pieces are and I use the plants all the time, especially the curtain vines

Ironically, the Decor to the max Kit is actually my favorite kit, I just love the patterns from the wallpapers and furniture...❤

I think it's funny that my favourite kids are the ones you say are either not worth the buy or to delete. Industrial, Courtyard, and Decor to the Max are my absolute favourites. I use them in so many builds. I also really love Desert Luxe

I love LOVE Looooooveeee Decor to the Max. I use those wallpapaers in every single build. And it inspired me to get wallpapwrs for my new IRL house.

As someone who isnt interested in paranormal or occult gameplay the basement kit is perfect for giving me the run down details that are usually in those packs

Those tags are common for all types of packs, so that is why little campers kit is in green outdoors adventures category so as for example Jungle Adventure or Snowy Escape

The industrial Loft kit is a perfect match with the Mosquino Stuff pack. Together they make one perfect pack for city related buildings. Also you have the base game window that they gave us due to wondow gate. And if you combine this with Werewolves ypu have the perfect insustrial set for any industrial building.

I love Decor to the Max kit because of the heirloom vibe some of the items have, like grandma's floral patterned sofa and chairs or the extravagant peacock. It gives a vintage 60s to 80s vibes which makes it great for a legacy game play. Plus it's pretty artsy looking so I always put the tiger or floral wallpapers in the kids rooms to make it seem like my sim in the painter career painted a mural for her kids.

Paused at 7:58 to say that I think we must have quite different build styles, because I love Blooming Rooms and Industrial Loft :') I use them all the time, they're very much my vibe. Love a bit of rustic charm and quirky greenery

Imagine new addition - being able to label rooms. As a consequence sims can eat only in dining room UNLESS they're slobs or something like that. In addition you can use robot vacuum to work in specific rooms. Probably described it soo bad ^^ but I'd love that

I find it very fun that I have completely opposite style choices to you but I still love your content, both builds and let’s plays. I love building modern with bright colors and I’m a massive fan of Get Famous’s build catalog. I guess I just like a change of pace compared to my own play style!

Everyone's different! The clutter drives me to distraction and I don't own those kits, but I love using those Blooming Rooms curtains and tables for that "jungalow" look. I adore the Pastel Pop kit for decorating teen rooms, especially, and the computer in that kit is great for rags to riches when they can finally afford something of their own instead of having to head to the library. Agree 110% re: book nook. Best kit!

I can't hate the loft kit, because thanks to that kit we got recolors of that Raw base game furniture set. It used to have like 3 swatches before, now it has around 10. Counters, side tables bookcases etc. to match the kit items. It's a lifesaver, it's one of the only industrial sets in the game, and one of the only sets from the base game that didn't age like milk.

I just wish the sims would stop giving us things with random, tiny, slots that can only be filled by a few select items because I hate having to fill every empty slot so my stupid sims don’t put their stinky plates there 😭 Same with half walls!

the green sweater looks so good with your eyes!!! thank you for the vid I always like to get some opinions from players before buying!

idk why but the tiger wallpaper from decor to the max is one of my fav wallpapers in the game 😭😭 it's just so fun and funky

Ugh you break my heart with the industrial loft kit. I love that build style and I use it especially in San Myshuno in one of the penthouses. There's a lot of base game items that go really well with it. I also really love the Blooming Rooms kit in conjunction with the Greenhouse Haven kit. They really go well together for decor and I especially love the ceiling light with the plant built in. Book Nook and Everyday/Bathroom clutter are definitely my most favorite packs though. So versatile, so awesome for details.

i like when you do these kind of videos, because even if we don’t agree on a pack/kit, you do a good job giving descriptions and showing us items. it helps when looking to buy for sure!

I always sit here refreshing until I see your video of the day

Booknook kit is one of my favorites too!!! Modern Princess Belle vibes!😊💖📚💝😀Can you do a cas kit ranking video? That would be fun to watch!!!

The Decor to the Max kit is the only one I bought. I LOVE this style, the over-the-top-ness and the colours

Decor to the max is honestly my favorite kit. That gallery wall is in every single build I make, and I love filling awkward corners with a golden peacock statue. I'm not a fan of neons, but even if you aren't, it has a lot of great swatches

This was really helpful, and I'd love to see you go through CAS!

book nook and greenhouse haven were my first and only purchases in the Sims and they are literally the perfect additions to my builds! they have the perfect amount of stuff

I wish kits were part of the 50% sale they do a few times a year. I only have like 3 kits because I cant justify spending 5 dollars on a clutter kit when i could download cc for free.

Modern luxe and pastel pop match my build style perfectly! I love these ranking videos 😊

I love the blooming rooms kit specifically for that plant with the moss, i wish i could find more moss in packs or mods tbh

I'll be honest, I haven't used any other bookshelves from any other packs since we got the book nook kit. Being able to make a bookshelf exactly the size I want it is just too useful.

Aside from the must have tier, my opinions are basically Kayla's flipped I use everyday clutter and basement treasures in literally every build I make- Actually obsessed with that half open cartboard box from basement treasures lmao- also the chairs/couches from industrial loft are sooooo nice

My favorite Build Kits: Blooming Rooms, Pastel Pop, the Clutter ones & the Book Nook kit.💟

Basement Treasures and Little Campers are must haves for me, because I like to use the dodgy and/or cheap looking stuff a lot. I don't think I've used a tv other than the Basement Treasures one since the kit came out lol.

I love simsie’s tier list videos!

my unpopular build/buy opinion is that i would be just fine if kitchen counters came with less pieces if we got more deco items instead. like realistically, how often do you actually use anything except the default+corner pieces? this goes double for the cabinets. all i need is the default, corner, and “over the fridge” pieces to be content

I built my first house today and I'm so proud of it 😭 I've tried for years and could never get passed the roofing, after watching your videos for months I finally got it and I'm in love. Took me 4 hours to build a 2 bed 1 bath single floor house 😂

I'm so in love with the industrial kit styled furniture I even use it in Animal Crossing lol (The 'ironwood' set, for reference)

i’m a huge fan of decor to the max specifically because of the wallpaper - if they did a kit that was just wallpaper, flooring and roof tiles i’d buy it in an instant

The decor to the max and the library kits are the only ones that I bought and I love both of them (the desert luxe I got for free). It is funny that I love, both Kayla's favorite and least favorite kits hahaha

as someone who’s only kits are book nook (kayla’s favorite) and basement treasures (something i knew was unnecessary but fell in love with the vibes of) i feel represented

deff want a cas kit review! love to hear your opinion! ur awesome Kayla!

I LOVE the blooming rooms kit, and I use those two tables all the time.

I love industrial kit, just wish they added more to it. I use the funiture the most from this kit.

The industrial lot kit is amazing. I use it whenever I’m build for a need TLC apartment.

I don't think I've done a build since Decor to the Max came out that HASN'T used that kit lol. I love all of the crazy bright colors and the over the top details.

I love Decor to the Max, I use at least the lamp or the couch in all my builds. And the Industrial loft kit I use more for community lots than anything else.

Literally HOW did you know I was just watching all these old vids?! I wanted a new one!! You read my mind hehe

I love my decor to the max lol it adds some personality to my sim's rooms, but it is a v specific style. I've found that my sims are either a decor to the max or a pastel pop sim if they're not cottage living. I have a niche lol. I use the everyday clutter with all styles tho omg so worth it.

Some of these would be in different places for me, also remember that the Desert Lux kit was the 1st to have curtains and a separate rod to allow Simmers to choose the size of the curtains. It is good to see how Simzies views change as well and how she rates the more recent kits, that is helpful for those who aren't sure what to get.

i just started playing with the free base game with my sister(also no multiplayer after x years?), and everytime we come up with an idea of what we want to do with our sims a dlc we need to buy shows up. i want to play a potion maker that makes money? supernatural and get to work, or city living for the come and get it table, 40 bucks to sell my potions to sims. if you want to enjoy sims then we have to pay almost 4 digits, also i love your videos and inspiration for builds i feel when i see you build. youtubers keep this franchise alive inspite of itself

If you love boho or rustic/modern, I love Desert Lux & Book Nook, I use them a lot in builds!

The idea of bundling kits makes them seem a lot more worthwhile!

My wife used to play Sims a lot, when the weather months came in and everything became cold and rainy. I decided to jump on the Xbox and play some games for the first time in a long time. Out of curiosity I decided to play the Sims if I felt like building a house. Fast forward a couple months and several expansion packs later and I think I’m hooked on the game

I love the Courtyard Oasis kit but it's *so hard* to build with bc it feels like basically nothing else matches it

I love that little plant end table from blooming rooms. Hurts my heart to hear she doesn’t like it. 😂

i feel like those kits being different colors are essentially because the outdoor kids kit is more for gameplay/buy mode and the bust the dust is gameplay, where as the others have more build items for specific aesthetics of building. they definitely could have gone with a more similar color to the others though, rather than bright green and blue

For me- BASEMENT TREASURES IS A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!! It's clutter, furniture and lighting 😭 Also, the vinyl collection ALONE is enough. I agree with everything else except The Book Nook kit. It's... okay. I never use it.

I use the blooming room in the greenhouse :P I love plants! They just bring so much life into a build. I`m not that good at building yet, so my builds look a little odd, but with some plants they make a little more sense :P I do agree with the Must Have- category 100 %

There are some packs that look like my style despite you rating them low, but I would never have known either way without your video. Thanks for giving me some insight into which packs to buy so I don’t waste my money!

The bathroom clutter kit has super cute ocean themed wall decals and I use them in a lot of my kids room. The clutter is also very good! Definitely one of my favorite kits.

Was waiting for this one!

I actually loved the basement kit. It had a lot of 80s style items I’ve always wanted. I wish it had more and had items that had a broken and a working option.

i always find it funny that you hate that individual loft kit when its my favorite hahah! i love the style of the kit

I've been keeping an eye on the kits on Steam. Aside from promos where they gave away kits(Desert Luxe and i think the street wear kit) they haven't included the kits in any sales.

What I would love to see in a CAS kit video is maybe your own collab with a Simmer/Simmers who spend some time in CAS, so you can have someone make the case for (or against) each entry.

You should make a playlist with all of your ranking videos! 😊

What they need is mounted microwaves, cars that you can use, artwork that people would want to use, basically better decorations, better choices of bedding, mirrors for bathrooms that are bigger and fill more of the wall, and I forget what else I was thinking. They could do more for this game to make it less boring at times. Especially for home decorator.

The clutter kits are essential! I like all the kits, or at least some items out of each one. And there are ones I love! There’s just not enough value for money, especially with the frequency of releases.

I feel like Basement Treasures would benefit from a "throwback" kit that had unbroken versions of those items. I get a small nostalgia hit from that standup lamp because we had one when i was growing up and is almost tempting enough to get the kit just for that.

🫨🫨 was refreshing just to see your vid pop up

Simsie! You should do a Halloween series with all of the occult sims 🎃 love your videos!

It's so subjective like, I can't live without Decor To The Max and Blooming Rooms, they are in every single one of my builds, completely must buy for me and I would love to have an entire pack of this style

Mostly I agree with you, except I love the industrial loft kit and my favorite is the everyday clutter kit other than the book nook kit

kayla’s my comfort youtuber ❤

I am barely catching up on my game kits, and so far the only add on for the main Sims 4 packs I have left to get is "Growing Together"

Thank you for the video ❤

i think the pastel pop and little camper kits are my must haves. the country kitchen, industrial loft, and the greenhouse would be my pretty goods. the rest i could do without. even though i like the courtyard oasis kit a lot i just dont ffind a place for it that much. so i gu3ess itd be int he okay catagory.
