[@meghatron1042]

I really wish we got more kitchen counters

[@Emelia39]

It’s been so long since we’ve gotten new ones and I love building kitchens but I’m getting bored with them now.

[@EssJessperate]

I would have liked more kitchen stuff, over more lounges

[@vuurstuurder]

Yes! This is all I've been thinking about

[@Uchiha.Itachii]

Yeah like what was the point of giving us a new fridge and stove but not kitchen counters or cabinets 🗿

[@violetgalaxy9144]

I am so mad about that! They gave a beautiful new sink and stove...but no counters to match? Insane.

[@lilumi]

It is odd that they copied the style of the base game furniture for one of the changing tables but then choose not to include it in the base game. It really should’ve been included with the infants update IMO.

[@anna_bananna_13]

Thats what i thought too

[@plnckgr]

yeah.. its a shame they didnt do that

[@loyael]

I agree (Even though I will buy the pack right away). I feel like there will be a mod for it, hopefully.

[@Dkatt25]

It makes me wonder if they had any confidence in the gameplay. Like they thought they needed it that way to convince players to buy the pack. In my experience, the gameplay is great though. 🤔

[@plnckgr]

@@Dkatt25 yeah maybe u r right but in countries in which the economy sucks u have to rely on basegame u know :(

[@LAURA---]

I swear the standing piano is going to go in the majority of my builds now 🙌🏼💚

[@somethingbambi875]

Yes, finally! In some many real homes there is a regular piano, I had to build it in so many times I am so happy!!

[@kelseypappa]

Deli- “I don’t love this curved chair” *has same curved chair directly behind her* 😂

[@Kristenhas3cats]

What, no way lol. I have to go back and see

[@AmberHelenaReisig]

In her defense hers is more versatile and common - because it’s trendy right now - than the one in the game.

[@kirstybrown1185]

It is a different chair but she didn’t say she didn’t like it either, at no point does she say she doesn’t like the look of it. She said it makes little sense for a traditional meets modern build pack. 🙌🏻

[@kaityelisa4512]

Ironically she has mentioned she doesn't really love the chair in her office she just needed something in the background that fit 😂

[@tamaragontar3228]

The "not your grandma's drawers" table looks like Rachel's apothecary table from friends 😁

[@scofieldvictoria]

That's what I thought too and I'm glad because I really wanted an apothecary table.

[@Beeryy93]

I came here to say this 🤣

[@bexbagel]

We said the same! I hope its from the days of yor..

[@rociorodriguez589]

Now I wanna build Phoebe's apartment!!!

[@_freebirdnerd]

It's from yore. Like the days of yore. Y'know?

[@Melindrea]

Not related to this, but I found one infant cross-pack feature that's amazing ... if you have laundry day and laundry stuff on the lot ... you can give your kid cloth nappies. Also, if you give your infant a nap, they will sleep *in your arms* (it's just as adorable as it sounds)

[@chaoscarrousel]

the posters are the Windslar neighborhood in Windenburg, Strangerville, Forgotten Hollow (ironically because no one ever remembers the name) and Mt. Komorebi

[@a-girl-and-her-cat]

Aww, I _love_ Bowser 😭💖 Such a smart boy, listening for mommy to make sure he's not missing anything

[@casey54321]

I think it could be cool to make like a daycare or preschool using those new brightly colored rec center / library items

[@AmberHelenaReisig]

Imagine this pack coming with a day care or primary school 😮

[@jaderisely5145]

or even a paediatric area in hospitals if you have get to work!

[@marieduran6286]

I don't blame people for asking to seperate the plants, they look so good on their own. What I like to know is why can't we get the suitcase shelves speperated, and emptied as well. That way we can stack them and use them in different ways. Such as side tables in the bedroom, a TV stand, a plant stand in the bathroom or kitchen, and so on. There is so much potentential there if they only free them--look at what it did for babies. ;) I would also like a desk that is just a shelf, or counters that are just shelves--so you can put things under them like a trash can or book shelf. You can also make a vanity with it.

[@Uchiha.Itachii]

They should also have added pillows to couches and beds that we can also add ourself

[@Monie228]

Dog parent here 🙋🏼‍♀️ I enjoy the background sounds of Bowser. 😂

[@HelyaRavn]

I'm so happy that the team listened so much to the creator feedback :) and I'm looking forward to building with all these cool items :D

[@engelsforsilainen]

well i'm happy for you! where did the creators put their feedback? i'm wondering what's the best place to write feedback since the build mode is a nightmare on console nowdays and ea clearly doesn't care about it:(

[@tantasties]

I just lost my baby boy....our dog of almost 10 years passed suddenly today. I miss him so much. I miss his little snores and the way he used to do his little things around the house....nothing is the same without him. He was such a good boy. 😢 Enjoy EVERY DAY with Bowser. Never apologise for him. Dogs are with us for so short. They truly are too good for this earth. Thanks for the content, Deli ❤

[@sylvial6880]

*offers you a big hug* I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you strength. 💔

[@AnimatoJoe]

I love hearing all of your suggestions to the team that ended up getting considered. It feels like bts insight but also feels like we got an undercover insider asking for the things we really need lol. Especially love the simple bookshelf, I'm so excited to use that in my homes!!

[@cait-tab]

Bowser looking out the window is the cutest thing ever 😭😂 Thank you Deli for all the uploads today, I'm stuck in bed with covid (for the first time!!) and your videos are keeping me sane!!❤️❤️

[@sylvial6880]

Get well soon! 😷

[@AmberHelenaReisig]

Maybe that world from the poster is actually a hint at a new world coming with the next pack!

[@frufraler]

25:06 Duh, cause it's *Forgotten* Hollow 👽

[@declanr8806]

Im obsessed with all of the build and buy items, the only I wish is that we got new kitchen counters/islands/cabinets.

[@SupergirlUK]

Well now you mentioned it, I WOULD love to see a kid friendly hospital! 😅💁‍♀️ Such a good idea! 😘❤️

[@saam.e.]

I totally agree about the curved couch!! Not only is it a weird choice but it just doesn't go with all the other great things they've made for this pack. I feel like they really missed an opportunity to make a more stylish and versatile modern couch

[@imouttaherewithu]

Yeah whyyyy is the Sims 4 obsessed with rounded chairs and couches

[@brittany0717]

I am loving all these videos! And so loving hearing Bowser snore. It is sooo cute. ❤🎉🐶

[@sweetheartmegz]

That shower/bath combo is EVERYTHING 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@RobRossiFan]

best object from this poor disasterous pack

[@ClaudiaFox1990]

The lighting and the windows seem to be the best parts of the build buy for me 🥰 Shame we didn't get more kitchen items, especially for a family based pack!

[@Gl00myGhost]

the plants not being separated is really a game changer ngl

[@WriterOfMany]

How so?

[@Gl00myGhost]

@@WriterOfManyI prefer them to be separated so I can use the individual ones throughout a build. Otherwise it limits how often you can use the item

[@tiritrro]

it would’ve been so cute to have a old shoe box as a keepsake box!!!

[@tiritrro]

modders pls make this happen i beg

[@honeymelon_b]

i think the round chairs and couches might be made for a rec center too. i feel like i’ve seen those types of couches and chairs at libraries before

[@loyael]

Good job for the feedback! As a plant addict, I really wish they seperated them. Hoping for a mod on this one!

[@sgpb000]

I would love to see you 'renovate' some of your builds in Growing Together with all the other packs

[@Helle-Mia]

You should ask them to separate the plants and give us the luggage shelves without the clutter on. Hopefully they will listen to you even if they don’t listen to us.

[@BusyBusyPanda]

8:01 Eco Lifestyles windows DO have a flat version of the geometric pattern. There is a left angle, a right angle & a flat frame. But it has the metal that sticks out which I think makes it harder to use so I love that these windows exist but I do think they are basically the same which I'd prefer a refresh to Eco Lifestyle rather than add essentially the same thing to a whole new $40 pack.

[@sophiag612]

There’s lots of items that are basically expansions or redos of items we already have. I’ve noticed this in a lot of recent packs unfortunately….

[@MsSmontalvo]

Omg at around 3 minutes in I was trying to figure out what kind of cultural music Deli had playing in the background, thinking "oh, that drumming is neat", and then suddenly realized it was Bowser commentary.. 🤣😭🤣😂 Goodness, I love that puppy! 🥰😂

[@Raven-vg6qg]

I had no intention of buying this pack as I don't play with kids, but now I have to get it for all the gorgeous build stuff 😂

[@Dkatt25]

Me watching this video: oh, Deli is so silly, forgetting the name of the vampire world. 😄I mean it’s obviously called… it’s called.. vampire.. shadow realm? 😅

[@LivinInSim]

Yes, I dunno why so many folks have Forgotten it...😏

[@kenna163]

I was like, "who is sawing wood in the background?", only to realize it was the doggo

[@noway3128]

The leather couch in the burgundy swatch looks almost identical to my parents’ lounge set! Down to the studding on the edges. I can finally recreate my childhood living room hahaha

[@crabbedcat6049]

I could record Bowser snoring and used it as White Noise, because it's really relaxing me hehe

[@dewberrystar]

Simmers, for years: wE wANt kIdS BiKEs! Sim gurus: You get a bike, you get a bike, you get a bike aaaaand YOUUU get a bike!

[@somethingbambi875]

This is so good, because you would think we had 8 kids looking at our front of the house, we only have 2 but SO many bikes 😂

[@nj.horrorhaven]

I used to love putting desks or dressers under my bunk beds, especially for tiny homes, but anytime I go off lot with my sim, anything under the bunk bed is sent to the household inventory 🤔 It's so annoying 😂

[@zkw100]

I have the same thing happen to me, too

[@rachelshaferly5524]

Such a beautiful dog in the background I love it.

[@Aqualunana]

Noooo. I was so excited about that Monstera plant. Why is it not separate???!!!???? 😢 Thank you for not making this video members only. I rely on you for bb review ❤

[@ashleyrose379]

I'm probably most excited about the shower bath combo 😂😂🛀 but like everything else too, but seriously, so excited about it 😅

[@larissaromani27]

I love Bowser's ASMR!!! And I love when I refresh my YT page and it pop a Deligracy upload!!!

[@chriswatchingponies9877]

Oh And the slumber party, right ?! My Sims 3 sims loved those. So happy that they are back.

[@manon8600]

Oooh it would be really nice if the cube in the bookcase could be somewhere kids and toddlers could sit in 🥺

[@AziraSmith]

It’s absurd how excited I am about the new potties 😆 they just have a much more nostalgic vibe that remind me of my childhood, compared to the ones we already have that all have kind of the same vibe

[@lukevanwyngaardt6584]

25:14 That world is Windenburg. The Vampire world is called Forgotten Hollow.

[@piperlauderdale3673]

i really wish they would have a tub with a floating shower head/shelves so it would just snap to the wall but not have the big enclosure around it. and just like a transparant shower curtain on a rod. I love the tub/shower combos but i wish they didn't create blind spots in your view. I almost always use the vampires tub/shower because it's see through (I make a lot of cottagey antiquey builds so it looks nicer there) but i would love to ahve a more modern one. (i play on console so no cc)

[@peachyyyyy]

bowsers snorin is so cute and funny 😂

[@alkemi5522]

Thanks for showing us - I can't wait to find the pack on sale somewhere/sometime! I also love Whalebert. I love the freezer bunny, but omg Whalebert is so cute I want to hug him!

[@gama4773]

1 You look so BEAUTIFUL today 2 Loved this and the video of the house you built for the pack. Very impressed by the build items too this time! 👏🏻👏🏻😊

[@deligracy]

Thank you so much!!

[@BeautyMonster1000]

Bowser's snoring makes this video great! ☺😘

[@Foxxytrot_0]

The poster world is windinburg in the world map it has windmills

[@EssJessperate]

Why am I so excited about that bath/shower 😹

[@katyd.976]

Thank you for all the recommendations you made to the sims team! love them all!

[@grrrlsrock2108]

Deli, thank you for providing factual information with colorful commentary. As usual, your reviews and comments are honest and well thought out. We appreciate you! ❤

[@DreamlightGirl10]

Loving all your content and really looking forward to your let’s play ❤️

[@mossymeow9670]

I totally didn't notice the camera was out of focus at first, I was too busy looking at Bowser ❤

[@marieoliveira7]

i’m glad you did this build buy showcase video! i haven’t seen many simtubers i’m subscribed doing it, (and I love to watch yours tbh)

[@1134cat]

Excited to try out an a-line cabin with those pitched windows!

[@manon8600]

29:38 omg i love when pets snore hehe❤

[@imouttaherewithu]

I have been wanting cedar shingle siding in the game since I started playing the Sims 4. So excited to see it.

[@harrietrose4718]

I love Bowser always lovely seeing him in your video his adorable

[@shane6559]

Always a good day when Deli uploads ❤

[@jackofallgamesYT]

As always, loved your overview and I didn’t even pick up that sign had Cafe looking art on it, guess I’ll be building a nice pastel Cafe! 🔥

[@ribbitfrog1]

The Build/Buy items look very cool! I don't even play with families, but looking at these items makes me a bit nostalgic for my own childhood 😭

[@camillechandler4431]

The Build/Buy is the Seasons/Eco Lifestyle love child.

[@AnnieDreaXO]

Loving all the content. Keep it coming my love. ❤

[@deligracy]

Thanks mama ❤️😁

[@megbrown1367]

I cannot wait for this expansion pack!! Especially looking forward to the treehouse.

[@kikidoll7101]

Thanks for the herringbone floor Deli. Chefs kiss!

[@Charlee1776]

I LOVE that siding! The multi-tonal wood is great and I completely agree about the white making for amazing newer looking shiplap style paneling for interiors! I really am pleased with what this pack offers to us. I just hope the bugs aren't too bad.

[@tamisanchez3570]

Bowser is too cute! And so fluffy! I ❤ Bowser! And Deli, I ❤ Deli also 😊

[@ariculbertson4473]

I love how you also give ideas on how to use this pack with other packs like high school years and get to work. 😊

[@tonje_gram]

Oh, that's sooo pretty, and that soop pretty, and that, and that... Gosh this pack looks fantastic! Thank you for the video!

[@marieduran6286]

This loooks really great in HD!! This siding looks terriffic, and the shingles don't look so bad either. I really wish we would get a 3 tile plain window.

[@AmberHelenaReisig]

Thank you so much for requesting that bookcase without the shapes!

[@tobistraumfabrik333]

nice items

[@SimFeetUnder]

Love the Herringbone wall tiles! Fairly excited about the modern windows and door, and the red panda sleeping bag killed me! They're my favorite mammal. Those curved cushioned chairs are a bit odd but the swatches do seem nice at least. "Not Your Grandma's Drawers" reminds me of card catalog things for libraries, if those can be stacked somehow they could be neat in a lot/room with some of the Book Nook stuff, etc. Pretty jazzed about the little fairy garden and having more plants, I can always use more plants! The one set would be great as separate pieces but with the space in between we can moo extras in I suppose. Anyway, I think you've sold me on this pack!

[@emmagould9264]

Bless Bowser snoring his fluffy head off ^^

[@woodybaby543]

I can't wait to play the pack. Loving all the videos on the pack.

[@scofieldvictoria]

I'm going to use the vintage/steampunk stuff, the little mushroom house, and the new piano so much! Can't wait to see what CC creators do with this pack (I hope someone takes the back and side off the shower/tub; I love the glass, but I'd like it directly against the wall so I can have tile like my old tub).

[@wackykittykat99]

That blue swatch for buy items looks like it would go great with the parenthood blue swatch i cant wait!!

[@brandycake9648]

I love your videos and your dog

[@ronniefisher1637]

❤ yes! Love your videos

[@Lovelygirl2day]

Not me actually wondering what was wrong with my bass settings in my sound, then realizing it was (not so) lil Bowsie snoring... xD

[@breezie420]

Lol you're dog is so cute! I can hear him over you sometimes 😂 too cute. By the way I love your builds and love watching your videos!

[@fracturedsporks]

The bathroom stuff!!!! Omg!!!! So good

[@bloomsparks]

I love the unlockable bassinet 💗

[@swiftieinwonderland]

never been this early before! love your videos

[@lisalovely.18]

Your dog 😂😭 breathing heavy every time you try to explain something. So cuteeee

[@Uchiha.Itachii]

I feel like they really missed a lot of stuff they should and could have added. 1. Stairs to match the new railing. And maybe more than one style. 2.More than one floor style that match or is in the same style as the wallpapers… 🙄 3. Maybe some more option for doors? Or another version of that modern door plus an arch in that style. 4. More sizes of the arch. And idk if they have all the door and the arch to all wall heights but if they didn’t, they should have added it to all heights 🙂 5. Windows to all heights, also smaller and thinner, versions of the modern ones so you can use those windows to make a smaller modern family home (basically different window sizes for more variety 🤷‍♀️) 6. Maybe more fence styles, a more modern and high one? 7. More than one style of the double bed 🥲 and more swatches (that should be to everything tbh, so it’s easier to match the furniture/objects to stuff from other packs) 8. More couch styles, that look more comfortable. Tbh I didn’t like either of the couches, the modern one should have been made a bit different 🧐 9. At least matching love seats, hello EA? They never make matching ones 🙄🙄 10. A small and a big size of the same type of tables, so two sizes for each table style. 😬 11. More modern coffee and end tables 😬 12. More variety of cabinets. 13. Another sink that goes in the wall, so we have to types of sinks to use for different purposes. 14. I LOVE the new shower/bath, but I wish they would add a shower in that style and a bath too, like separate 😩 cause it looks SO nice, the shower bath they really did a great job on! 15. Ofc they should have added a new toilet to match the whole bathroom set 😑 16. This one is not that important to me but it would be nice with maybe two piano styles and not just one, cause we only have one in game from before if I’m not wrong, or two? Not many anyways. 🫣 17. More styles of frames with more modern looking pictures inside or posters that are for kids with cool styles? And maybe more frames that can stand up on like tables etc. 18. More modern and sleek curtains that also have different sizes that it can fit all window types and heights. I wish they didn’t often make curtains for only one type of window 🥲 19. Included the changing table to base game for those who literally only can afford that…🙄😑 20. All heights for ceiling lights. 21. More modern kitchen furniture, cause not everyone is into that type of style for the kitchen, I mean I wish they at least added a very modern fridge that has like a screen on it etc like many modern families have now. and since they already added so many other modern furniture I feel like they should have done the same with the kitchen🤷‍♀️ And they should definitely have added kitchen counters and cabinets , because the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in a family house I feel like?😂 Like it is a bit weird they didn’t give us a whole kitchen set, but they gave us soooo many chairs ???🗿 why so many chairs, like for what lmao, I would rather have more kitchen counters and matching cabinets 🥲 22. And maybe a modern looking range hood , that one didn’t look that nice tbh😭 23. Moooore type of book shelves that look modern, sleek, or cool and funky, cause the ones we have are not that nice, I mean we have some nice ones but not many, we need more variety of book shelves. Maybe some small ones in like baskets or small ones u can put on the wall besides the bed (like the cc ones). 24. Big AND small dressers, and maybe longer big ones for like parents room 🙃 and in more than one style. (For example boho and modern) 25. And lastly, I wish they had more swatches for everything, definitely more cool brown swatches, and pure white, and deep black swatches 🤩 But I have to say I’m really impressed with how good many of these new items look tho, Maxis have really outdone themselves in this pack and high school years, but they just need to make more items for every room and not ignore one item that should have been added, like a toilet that matches to the sink and bath/shower 🤷‍♀️ And I also really love the modern windows, though I do wish they had some versions of those modern ones but with like those “stripes” in the Middle like a cross, idk how to explain it but I hope someone understood lol😬 I hope some people agree with me on this because even tho I do use cc, I wish ea/maxis would make packs or add things that a lot of cc creators do to their packs because I feel like we get more of what we actually want from cc creators?? And if Maxis made/added all these things I wrote, or maybe in a future pack, that those who don’t use cc can have more options for when building houses 🤷‍♀️😬 Well, that’s all🤠

[@grease_king]

deli, so unrelated but i also have bamboo growing through my fence line and it's so irritating. love the review!!

[@Kristenhas3cats]

Aww Bowser, he's so darn cute. Can't wait for the pack tomorrow! I'm really torn on which sim to play the new pack with though

[@cindibailey8466]

Your videos won’t be the same if it wasn’t for Bowser As all parents know our children bother us more than they bother those around us, let sweet him be him lol❤

[@simbellaz]

Those chairs you reffered to as unrealistic (is unrealistic) but its one of the things I love about The Sims.. they always bring their own twist of uniqueness into the game,, it's what makes The Sims - The Sims!💚

[@mialord7087]

24:35 Anyone else get excited by that group of four photos that has the lady with red hair, the flower, the map, and best of all the "Tournée Du Chat Noir Avec Rodolphe Salis" poster? 👀

[@Raresimmicapsule]

I can hear bowser huffing and puffing in the background hahaha

[@shelbielynn2726]

I love your dog! 0:47

[@HmsquidFarded]

your dog snoring in the backround is the best

[@hederahelix5322]

This pack is so🤩 I have some ideas for my lots! I build for the gallery :)

[@nakitalovesyhuu]

I would’ve loved to see that pallet with just a basic painted wall with the trim that the tiles have.
