I'm so glad that Maxis decided to move away from the bright annoying colors that they used to do. Like the hot pinks, lime greens, and stuff like that that you see on the base game dresses or female tops. It's so nice to see the more muted, wearable colors. I'm really impressed with the detail put into this pack.

[@finnsword8286]

To be fair, I think that's what was in fashion when Sims 4 came out. It's just now almost a decade old game so people have began liking more muted/pastel colors.

[@rachicolate]

As someone with freckles literally everywhere, I’m SO glad we finally have body freckles in the sims! I really like the more uneven, faded texture on these, they just seem so much more natural than what we had before

[@CorynnEllis]

I have a lot of freckles on my body, so I was very excited. I have freckles on my face too, but they're a lot less noticeable.

[@endersquid1132]

If only they didn't cost 40 USD

[@sxvannah7525]

@@endersquid1132 I bought it 😭

[@LX.727]

They are MOLES not freckles

[@endersquid1132]

@@LX.727some of them are, but some of them are probably freckles/small enough dots that it doesn't really matter cause it's just a skin detail and open to the imagination

[@katanah3195]

The bear suit is by far the cutest infant outfit of all. I need to see an infant in a bear suit interacting with a Blarffy.

[@KayDazzle90]

Agreed, like a "Ready for Retirement" or "The Grandest Grandparent" challenges for the elders

[@andreapatacchiola1184]

One really cool thing about the sims 4 is it being almost 10 years old, and being able to show how styles changed over those years!

[@adalynpowell4778]

I REALLY wish they’d add headbands or hair accessories in “headwear” so you can add headbands to any of the hairs

[@dbseamz]

Yes! Even if all it did was let you change the color of the accessories that are part of the hair independently of the hair color, that would still be a huge improvement.

[@shaybribri]

All the infant CAS are so darn adorable!

[@blake-_-4482]

I’m hearing more people say the male cas is better and I’m so exited

[@parallel2465]

It's nice to see the CAS have a focus on everyday casualwear, nothing over the top, eccentric of stylistic, just stuff you'd see people wearing while on a walk in your local shopping area. This pack honestly looks so great but I'm having a hard time being willing to pay money for this, I genuinely feel like a big portion of the key features should've been added to the base game with time or from release

[@watermelon1112]

I'm holding out hope for an elder pack. It feels like they are working their way through the life stages.

[@deligracy]

I want one too!

[@katyishere]

Hopefully! It would be great if they adjusted the life stages again too, I wish grandparents were around a little longer

[@watermelon1112]

@@travellinjack9487 🤣

[@dbseamz]

@@katyishere Same! I've been watching a couple of legacy challenges and the children hardly ever get to really know their grandparents. The ones with several aunts and uncles got more time with grandma because she stopped aging while carrying each of her children, but the generations who are only children all lost their parents (to old age) before they became parents themselves even though one of them rushed it in hopes that wouldn't happen.

[@anekcm]

You have such great commentary on CAS items. My favorite YTer to do CAS overviews. ☺️

[@deligracy]

Yay, thank you!

[@MastigosAtLarge]

So happy to see the C-section scar! It's just a LITTLE too high, but I'm excited we have it. It's also so funny that in CAS, the infants are in a Boppy!

[@TheMonicaAlison]

The leggings at 8:10 actually appear to be maternity shape wear/compression! Maybe not for working out but to be worn underneath dresses etc for realism since a lot of people need to wear compression shape wear while pregnant

[@siljaravens]

The cardigan with the corset top underneath is definitely gonna be my favourite 😍 I’m so excited for all of these

[@deligracy]

Love that one too

[@Plumbobi]

Something to note, the milestones for sitting up and crawling and stuff only come in the Growing Together pack. In just the update, babies can crawl and sit up already.

[@deligracy]

Oh thanks for letting me know

[@friendlyneighbourhoodschokiman]

... Isn't the new lifestage kinda pointless then to people who won't buy Growing Together? I haven't played the game yet with the new update but what is there to teach the infants if they can already sit up and even crawl? Aren't they just like toddlers then? 🙈😅

[@Plumbobi]

@@friendlyneighbourhoodschokiman I don't think so. Sure there isn't the milestones element, but you still have the infants themselves to take care of. I'm okay with the milestones being in the ep. I do wish they would have maybe approached it differently, with how the sims did it, it sort of came across like we'd be able to teach infants from the get to, so I can understand the disappointment. But I also understand the sims team doesn't work for free, they have families and need to eat too. And I'd much rather pay for a pack one time than have a subscription I have to pay for monthly 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@tayloranderson5981]

There's no changing table with the new update either 😭 I guess that only comes with that new pack but it still would've been nice!!

[@dbseamz]

@@friendlyneighbourhoodschokiman As someone who isn't buying the pack, I still appreciate the new lifestage. There's still a marked difference in care between infants and toddlers. No amount of skill building will let an infant traverse a staircase by themselves. Infants need help getting in and out of their beds (cribs), and they have to be fed directly by an older sim--they can't take a serving of food that's been left within reach the way toddlers can. Diaper changes are easier without the pack, but they still leave the dirty ones on the floor (or as dirty laundry, if you have Laundry Day and selected "Use Cloth Diapers"). Infants don't sleep instantly, and they need sleep more often than toddlers do.

[@rachcloud]

I could normally take or leave CAS stuff, but this pack CAS is SO good, I’m honestly sold on the CAS alone 😩 I wish they would add a masculine single braid though. I was recently trying to make a family member in the sims and the only single braid hair styles are very feminine and definitely don’t suit my Indigenous masc family members 😂

[@SenseiBriefs]

I miss when toddlers and kids had different hair than the adult sims... I don't mind having matching ones but I like when they're different too

[@imsoboredhahaha]

I like how a lot of Create a Sim clothes in this pack look more suitable for maternity wear. Like when your sims are pregnant, their clothes don’t look as realistic for pregnant people.

[@samanthacook8723]

Hopefully EA starts working soon. Because so many people are waiting for this to update and it’s down because everyone is attacking the app for this update. It will be so cool once more people can start logging in after the crash or what ever is making people to not be able to connect to the EA network that says the network is not able to network lol

[@divineanddeserving]

Hopefully soon! We have a snowstorm by me and I thought that was the issue. Comforting knowing that a lot of people are experiencing this, but also frustrating because a lot of us can't play! Lol

[@chloecarress2235]

OMG so its not just me! I was getting so angry with my laptop lol

[@alliethomas4527]

The headscarf is usually called a babushka! It’s super common with older Slavic women! My little Polish heart is full!

[@friendlyneighbourhoodschokiman]

I really hope some cc creators take that male framed top from 10:52 and turn it into tucked-in version, maybe even with longer arms and more cozy swatches for a chic-casual look 🙈 I have seen that a lot lately, especially in k-dramas and I really want something like this in my game 😂 I really like the cas in this one, especially the male-framed tops. I love that there are some that aren't cut as high as a lot of other male-framed stuff! 😍

[@Kristinleigh44]

I just realized the leggings are meant to go with the cropped track suit top! They’re just in the accessories section

[@cody-qx8th]

So unrelated but i absolutely love your vibe! You come off so genuine and positive definitely sticking around for upcoming content :)

[@lisaflack89]

Can you put this family on the gallery when the pack comes out. Cus I love the mothers face. She is gorgeous!

[@Jaz_Sims]

I think it's the best thing the Sims team has brought us in the Sims 4!

Nah high school years was the best, they gave us much more items

[@LAURA---]

I always love the different outfits you come up with so always look forward to seeing your thoughts on CAS items 💚

[@lindsaybear722]

That top you’re not familiar with is giving nursing top vibes to me. Like there would be a hidden zipper or fastening that could be undone to nurse the baby easily.

[@nandinaibach5419]

The outfits gives me cottage living vibes with a little modern pieces thrown in

[@maybellique]

The addition of scars and moles is very inclusive. I feel seen. ❤❤ I just wish they’d allow us to draw our own scars. They’re supposed to be unique.

[@yosouljaboy7]

[@JennTheDuck]

I'm so exited for this new pack

[@andreaparham79]

Blessed with two videos on this fine day… what a great start to this week! ❤ Love the hair with the two braids in the front, but take it from me… a pain in real life! Nothing like getting smacked in the face with beads every second of the day….

[@deligracy]

I never thought about that! 😂

[@DarkAngel66647]

One thing I wish sims 4 would do is to when with hair accessories to put a colour way on where you can choose you’re favourite colour for the accessory but not have to change the hair colour you have wish that was made as an update and you could not do just colours but patterns too just a thought I think a lot of people would appreciate that little feature added to the game

[@dbseamz]

Yes please! I was trying to make Sims of a large family from a movie I like, and one of them has very curly dark brown hair pulled up in one bunch with a red headband. With the packs I have, there were two styles even remotely close to hers--one with a blue headband and one with a light yellow. I would have had to give her black hair to have a red headband.

[@Kilofa_tarot]

My favourite type of gameplay is family gameplay so having a new life stage and more family content is so exciting!!!
