It not coming with floaties for toddlers is honestly such a bummer
I'm wondering if it doesn't because toddlers weren't released yet when the kit was being made :o
I believe that there is floaties for toddlers (they can only use kiddie pools from seasons)
@@AlinaMauMau umm... no. doesn't make sense lol
@@AlinaMauMau Toddlers have existed for years
@@AlinaMauMau are you thinking of infants? because toddlers have been in the game for years now.
See the Modern Luxe kit is a perfect example of what a kit should be. Niche enough where you don't miss out if you don't buy it, but still has something that makes it worth buying.
yes exactly!!!!
Precisely. If all the kits were like this, there would be less complaint.
I was a bit disappointed in the swatches tbh. I think swapping one of the greys could of been made green or pastel purple. But the artwork is nice
Well said
I love how you can immediately tell which kits are made in collaboration with a simmer because they have the best swatches.
Exactly
Let's be honest, the sims swatches without simmers collab are pretty bad but when any simmer gets involved, most of the swatches are ussable and great
I love that too but this instrument to deal with that problem they should already have good swatches on all their items LOL
You can also tell when you read the description but I mean that is a telltale sign
@@savanna9482what's the kit you're talking about?👀
It’s probably a good thing the pool floaties weren’t accessories because then townies would wander around with floaties on 😂
Omg! I had not considered that!
The thing with The Sims is that the developers think we want the craziest things but honestly we can get so happy with just a pillow and a curtain rod 😂
Both are great. We're just much more lacking in the little things.
we still want crazy things
I miss the crazy things from Sims 1
We actually want both but we lack the little and simple things
Fairies and fairy lights ain't a bad combo tho; why not both?!
I'd like to see some kind of "winter clothing" kit. I feel we desperately need more jackets, winter coats, etc, for Sims that aren’t too crazy. I find myself using the same three, and im sick of seeing all my townies wearing the same during the cold. 😂
YES
@@sweetsandcharades8383 RIGHT?!
And hats, they sit so high on the head for what reason. I really wish they had some better shoes as well
Yesssss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 we need new winter clothing it's so limited especially if you don't have mods like I do
@alieninthewindow5566 exactly. I use MODS but I feel for Simmers who can't. It's so limited.
The way you just made me cry & laugh I absolutely LOVE your reaction to everything 😭❤️ I'm so glad you love the kit🥹 and aweee i remember riding in the car together and touring everything! Good times, thank you so much Kayla 💖
You did a great job, the pack is lovely
This pack is one of the best kits the sims have ever come out with - you did such a good job on it! Everything is beautiful ❤️
You really did such an amazing job!!! Best kit to date in my opinion! 💕
Well done 👏🏾🫶🏽
i am not a fan of ultra modern design tbh but im buying this kit anyway for the tv, record player, curtains, and pillow. you killed it!!!
Someone needs to update us when those floaties and the tied shirt are separated by cc creators
Yes lol
The shirt has so much outfit potential
Cc creators have to fix the game every time lol
I'm hoping for that cut of a swimsuit made into cc. I love the shirt, but it doesn't make sense when actually swimming.
@@samanthanorton4538 I think EA was scared the cut was too revealing hence the shirt
On point. I'm genuinely surprised why the floaties aren't just categorized as accessories... Just when I thought EA won't surprise me anymore by their antics, then lo and behold, another weird decision from them 😊
The new flooring must be actually a panelled ceiling, so cool!
I’m kinda surprised she didn’t think of/mention that, considering the custom ceilings are fresh in the sims 4, but I get the excitement can cause some things to slip the mind heheh. I’m glad you brought it up though! I hope she sees this! It’d be beautiful as a ceiling and those screenshots and thumbnails would be stellar :D
@@mj-sw2nh she mentioned it and used them in a recent video! honestly it's a cool new feature but easy to forget about it
@@Rocannee exactly! :))) I’m sure she’ll take full advantage of it during the next berry challenge videos, esp during livestreams! (Her fans won’t let her forget heheh)
The vanity table’s tuning has been made base game compatible now! So, you don’t even NEED Vintage Glamour!
Wait, really??!
Vanity Table tuning? What does that mean?
@@danitho I believe the code stuff to make it work?
@@thesuitshow9944 OOOOH like the functionality? Very cool! Thanks!
Well… you need this kit, vintage glamour, or cc that accesses the tuning…
sucks to hear it's been rough, but we hope everything gets better, Simsie
THANK YOU for commenting on how terribly large night stands are in the sims. It’s so weird
I'm surprised none was added in tiny living
@@cendrecovfefe2496none of the furniture in tiny living was actually even that tiny!!! Lolol
@@cendrecovfefe2496 They did include a night stand/side table (it's round and has books in it) but it's pretty big. But they also included a blue knitted pouf that acts as a table, and I've used that as a small bedside stand before, particularly for toddlers.
@@ILuvAyeAye IT WORKS AS A TABLE? tysm ye for toddlers uh need reduce object size unfo
a cohesive color and style pallet??? for a cas kit??? what timeline is this??
I hope they carry this trend on for the rest of everything else lmao
I love the lights matching her shirt
yes!!! it's such a small but fun touch
Actually so excited to play with modern luxe
I use the maximalist for all my builds so this is gonna be perfect lol I can only use the same fancy armchair in different colors so much 🤣
Me too!!! I can’t wait to use this!!
I actually cannot believe they didn’t separate the floaties… can’t wait to download whatever CC creator version that has them separated.
I need them to make a band kit with a drum set and the ability to create a band, write an album and stuff like that. That would be so fun!! and I want that drum set sooo bad hahaha
Agreeed
I'd love for them to do a celebration with someone on a Luxe Bathroom kit and/or a Porch Kit. I need some nice fancy and luxuries bathroom items as well as more windows with screen swatches and a porch swing.
More musical instruments in general! I'd love to see a cello or even a flute! Being able to form a band and perform music together would be amazing though 😍
god and i wish the more electric looking guitars actually....sounded electric lol
A KIT with all that? 😂 Good luck
I feel like the modern luxe would have fit into the house she built for the sim Baby in her nightmare legacy challenge, specially with the colors :o Anyways, I LOOOVVVEE these new kits, even tho I usually get annoyed when they make so many for that price compared to the amount of stuff.. tho it seems like they're slowly adding more items in the kits
Sitting down with my ice coffee to watch my favourite youtuber talk about 2 kits I will never be purchasing ☕️
Same
literally
There are kits lilsimsie fans don't actually want? Weird, seems like there's never an internal voice saying no with yall.
@@citrusbutter7718You might be surprised! I've never purchased a kit. I have the desert one because it was free for a while, but I literally never use the items from it.
@@citrusbutter7718 Haha, what? LilSimsie is one of the most popular Sims RUclipsrs. The vast majority of Sims players are casual players, who don't buy many packs. It makes sense most of her viewers will also be casual players, who don't buy many packs.
(I think LilSimsie is the most popular Sims RUclipsr, unless we're considering CallMeKevin a Sims RUclipsr, but I don't think EA is comfortable with him getting that label.)
I think what makes the Modern Luxe stand out more is that the items and colors aren't incredibly sharp or harsh compared to Vintage Glamour. I noticed once you put them side by side that all the items are way more rounded or have softer edges compared to it and the color choices are just really nice to top it all off.
I saw somewhere that they added the vanity from Vintage Glamour to base game, so the vanity from this kit will function even if you don't own the stuff pack.
That means that the Vintage Glamour pack is useless (not that anyone buys or plays with it anyways)
@@carolinehanna5450 Unless you need a butler.
Honestly, curtains ought to function like cabinets with how often they conflict with window sizes.
the build kit is so cute it almost looks like CC lol
Finally I won't have to use Island Living as my ONLY access to good looking swimwear! Definitely a disappointment the floaties aren't its own item, but nonetheless... that swim kit had a lot more to it that I personally really enjoyed!
Thank you as always for your reviews!! ❤❤
I saw it on Twitter: people who new what to look for, apparently found out that the code that makes the vanity functional was moved from Vintage Glamour to base game in the latest update, so not only you can use that vanity if you don't have Vintage Glamour, it also opens possiblities for more (official and custom) content with this functionality!
I am in a country that’s just gone into spring so it’s actually nice to get a pack that’s not just centred around what Americans want
…what? How have all of the kits been ‘Centred around what Americans want?’ What has anything got to do with Americans?
The sims is an American brand & company. Also based in California… Not surprising that it is more American inspired.
For us in the Southern hemisphere, summer is practically here, so we're happy about the swimwear 😊
I really like that there's the repeated patterns/colours on the swimwear; it gives more scope to mix and match, gives options if you loved one pattern but wanted it in a bikini, or if your sim is a little more modest and you wanted a one piece etc- plus it gives it a feel of being like a "collection" that a brand has brought out
if Kayla gets a kit then there better be a new chess board... we need more chess boards XD
I do like that some of the swimwear can be used as “regular” clothes
Not even 1 minute into the video and want to say this is one of my favorite shirts of Kayla's. Suits her personality IMO.
The only kit i would want would be “Blue suburban kit by lilsimsie”
I would buy this 100%
What would be in it
@Aliciatemi hopefully a blender 😅😅😅😅and maybe something for some toast
🌽🧀
I would buy that omg
I can 100% guarantee CC creators are already working on separating the floaties from the swimsuit 👌
Modern Luxe starts at 12:55
The Modern Luxe kit is about to be the first Kit I buy
The swimwear stuff reminds me of vacation, and the Flamingos fit the theme too. Will we get a resort pack??
Hope things get better for you Simsie, sorry it's been a tough week!
I actually loveee the swatches on the new swimwear tbh, they're stuff I would wear irl and the gnomes is a fun detail!
they totally made that floor for ceiling use. imagine the fancy dining rooms and McMansions we can make!!!
I would loveeee a lil simsie kit. I think kits are absolutely perfect for creator collabs. It’s fun to see what players think we need, and I know she’d make an incredible build kit, but I want to see *HER* niche
They actually did a really good job on the swimsuit textures. What a pleasant surprise. Proud of them.
That floor tile will be awesome ceiling tile, too!
LOL YES same, i also almost never use Vintage Glamour beds (unless I have to cuz of its high sleep quality point) and few other stuffs due to the swatches and designs, Xureila saved us for real with this kit! 😂 her kit really looks like it's made by big cc creators i've been downloading for years we love it a ton. Meanwhile EA didn't even separate the floaties in their original kit...
I like the look of both of these waaaay more than I was expecting to!
As soon as I saw the Modern kit, I knew I wanted it! This will be my first time buying a kit
Regardless how you feel about kits, Kayla's support of other simmers and genuine happiness towards their work is top tier 👌 Great review and congrats @xurelia !!🎉
I feel. I’ve also been having a very rough couple of weeks. Your videos always brighten my day though! So thank you for everything you do, even when you’re struggling too. Don’t forget to take care of yourself 💖
I don’t think I’ve seen rose gold used as a metal colour in Sims before - I love it so much, it is so pretty! 💕
I love when they work with simmers, they always know exactly what we want
The floor tile will be an AMAZING ceiling
that yellow flower + brown frame swatch of the tv is PERFECT for "i want to make an older looking house so i guess i cant have a tv over the fireplace" moments. SECRET TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Normally I'm not very interested in the cas kits but I think I would get a lot of use from the swimwear one because we don't have many swimwear options and I always find myself using the same items and swatches. And I think maybe it's a good thing that the floaties aren't separate cause if they were I think it would be a situation like the eyeball ring where townies would be wearing them all the time.
It really winds me up that they cant give us bookshelves that are also empty and slotted. Every single bookcase should have a plain one
In the update, vanity features from vintage glamour got moved to base game so even without vintage glamour, this vanity will work
I came here literally just to see the different nail swatches for the swim pack, and ended up being convinced I'd like both lol ~ the modern luxe one I've passed over at a glance but you really sold me on it, that stuff does look good and I had no idea there was a TV/painting thing, that's really cool!
i LOOOVE their choice of making most of the clothes have the same swatches because being able to mix and match them makes every outfit much more unique!
Is it just me, or did it say you could add the record player to your Sim's inventory... so they could, say, take it poolside? Also, you know the modders are going to separate out the floaties and make them bracelets or rings instead.
And can we take a moment to celebrate the pillow. What a beautiful addition. I foresee builders adding that pillow & the frame tv to every build from here on out.
I honestly cannot wait for the lilsimsie collcollab kit. She already built a couple houses for packs so it's possible
I'd like to argue that navy blue swatch should be on everything. I love it. Its beautiful.
Give more navy blue :)
I really love that with the poolside splash kit a lot of the items you could use as everyday wear. Like the sarong kind of skirt, the male tank top, sliders, glasses and necklaces! I don't need any more swimwear for my sims but some of the items make me want to get it lol
Edit: Oh and I absolutely love the rainbow nails!
The only thing that would have completely sold me on the kit would have been a one piece swimsuit. And that modern kit is so pretty. I love the blue swatches from that
I'm so impressed by the poolside splash kit we definitely needed new swimwear
thank u for doing the comparisons to other packs! thats really helpful
These are sooo cuutteee!!! Love these both!!! I'm sold...I got both 😂 I'm gonna rewatch your stream discussing and building with the new kits! I'm so sad I haven't been able to see your streams as often since college classes have started.... But I'm trying to watch what I can and still do stuff :) love your streams and all the fun!
I want the Sims team to someday add homeschooling to the game. If they’re trying to be more inclusive, they should probably consider it
10/10. If I'm playing a medieval peasant dynasty or an off-grid simple living farmer family, homeschooling is a vitally important roleplay element. The popups for when I keep my kids home so I can teach them actual skills are so irritating, and they lose responsibility too!
@@vanguardiris3232 I don't know if you play with mods but there are mods to make childs and teens quit school so that you don't have to get the popups
I make the days I want my kids to stay home holidays in the calendar and then select day off school/work
@@hhhgggrr that's such a good idea!
Wow so i have an idea for a new video.. but is is kinda HUGE 😂 what if.... you make a house with like EVERY SINGLE OBJECT in the sims, of course not all of the swatches but like every single object... i know it's like impossible but i would love to see that you try 😂❤
You've legit made me a better builder and inspire me to do it more often so thank you very much😊 i wish i played the gameplay more but i just really enjoy building and decorating😂😂.
i totally relate to this week being rough. i hope your week feels better 🫂
Still awaiting the day the Sims team let's Kayla Collab on her "Linens" pack idea (rugs, curtains, etc.)
It’s okay, Kayla, we (I) like those kind of videos :)
i love everything about the new B&B kit, it’s GORGEOUS!!!
I like the style and possibilities of both kits. Excited to buy them tomorrow 😍
The new furniture kit is giving me 5 star hotel vibes. I've been to a real-life hotel on Marco Island that had that exact bed and side table with very similar glass shelves in the vanity room (short hall) between the bedroom and the bathroom, tufted chair and table lamp. Think that's a hint or just a coincidence?🤔😯
This kit is seriously beautiful. She did such an amazing job.
We need a simsie pack now, she knows what we need! Come on sims team.
If I had made these kit and saw you exploring it... I would be the happiest poeple on earth. I love how emotional your reactions are. Stay like you are. You are amazing, too.
Unpopular opinion: I love kits, they give a certain style such an in depth set. (For context I wasn’t around for stuff pack days) 😊
you weren't around for stuff pack days? well then that explains it stuff pack days were the glory days
I like Kits too!
@@PizzaMadeMeFat yeah I played a bit but I wasn’t in the community or buying packs back then
@@Stayville_Clown why? did you miss out on the glory days too?
Literally about to cry over all the beautiful rose gold swatches!!! It’s my favorite!
I love that the swimwear can be mixed and matched. The curtains are awesome, so simple. I'd use them so much. Until the desert luxe kit came out I rarely put curtains in my builds because of trying to match them to the window. I might buy these packs at some point but I'm not in any rush
And of course they still dont give us a normal modern looking bikini. The reason why they dont give the bikini without the tshirt and floatie is beyond me. Is it really that risque?
But they did? There are a few different normal bikini tops and bottoms. 2 or 3 each if you don’t count any of the shorts or cover up type options that you can mix and match. 5:24 for the tops 6:40 for the bottoms.
i mean, there is ACTUAL lingerie in base game, i dont think its too risky…
they did! they’re not in full body outfits and maybe not the specific style you’re going for, but there’s 3 bikinis top and bottoms in the pack.
@@ShannonRose99 i just really wanted the ones that were with the coverups/ floatie as to me this type of bikini is kind of the modern norm for bikini styles
@@Qtopian I’m pretty sure that literally the first bikini option from the pack. Also it’s not so much a “modern bikini”, very 90’s/00’s.
honestly i hate the build kit. sorry not sorry
i’m so excited to see you incorporate the new modern luxe kits into builds! would love to see what you do with it :)
at around 5 minutes when you were looking at that cute top paired with the swim suit, I agree i wish the top came separately, not to excited about the suit but IN LOVE with the top.
awe simsie hope everything gets better
This is such a great introduction to these packs!Thanx Simsie!
Not even done with the video and I already opened up the app and bought Modern Luxe, honestly it’s an easy $5 for me, my gf is gonna love this kit too. Great video breakdown of everything, you rock.💚
Modern Luxe does look really lovely, I'm temptedddddd.
And the wonderful color coordination on the swimsuits is really cute, the combos are fun!
I really like these kits! The picture frame TV is so freaking cool as is the record player!
i love u simsie
The description for the Perfect Pillow is just gold. Yesss! Gaga reference!
That shirt over the bathing suit (5 minutes in) is SOOOO CUTE
Love you simsie, next week will be better ❤ lots of love and thank you for keeping me company during my first week of university
THE FLOATIES REFLECT LIGHT ONTO THE SIM AAHH I LOVE THAT!
The pillow honestly changes everything!!! Like I can’t tell you how much I’m going to end up using that!
sending love to you kayla, we appreciate it that you still give us content even when life is rough. Take care of yourself though!
Omg you could make that curtain rod piece look like a picture light above a frame!!!
Glad that u were so frank about things that u don't like about the kit , i always saw ur previous videos where u pretty often like all the stuff that came with everything
Nice improvement i love u ❤️
I have had some passing interest in kits before, but Modern Luxe is the first one I know I'm going to buy when I get the chance.
I'm sold hook like and sinker on every item and every swatch. Just beautiful.
Oh, the swimwear goes perfectly wth the recent Barbiecore craze!!! 😍😍😍
a perfect build kit tbh ! love it
the attention to detail in the modern luxe kit is INSANE!! i’ve never bought a kit before but i am soooo tempted
