is it even possible to make a normal house with the PARTY ESSENTIALS kit?!

[@Nathan-rm7ht]

this house is so ‘70s … the disco ball , the burnt orange , the wood paneling , the conversation pit , the circles on the rug , pop art … my favorite build i think you’ve ever done

[@seanyabar6915]

[@starstruck_sims]

This house is beautiful, I love that she really went all out with it!

[@feyyosei]

Might be unpopular but I found the items actually useful for making nightclub raves in a warehouse. Random glitter, neon lights, party lights. You definitely need university for keg stands to help further the vibe but it worked really well!

[@ellespoonies]

I think she meant it more in the way that while they’re great for parties and the like, you really have to think outside the box to work them into more casual builds. She’s thinking about it more from a “is this pack going to be something you use regularly” perspective for those who don’t buy many packs and want to know if it’s something worth buying. It’s definitely pretty versatile in the realm of different kinds of parties and events it can be used for. it’s just not necessarily something you’ll be building with all the time like some of the other packs are.

[@Lefunbags]

Totally great for that vibe. I wouldn't mind seeing more club builds!

[@second_second_]

steampunk vibe too. or rundown steampunk

[@second_second_]

some people also mentioned that this is more towards community lots or events - clubs, karaoke, prom, graveyard, arcade, gaming, etc. if in normal house, maybe a gaming room.

@@kelizabeth3061 yeah exactly like you said it has not been trendy lately. Although it has been before, which gave it the reach to be come a really popular staple choice in some areas like the southwestern US where I’m from 🤠 Kayla just has her blue suburban sensibilities and it’s quite a bold and saturated warm tone color for her, I can see why it wouldn’t align with her personal tastes and that’s totally ok. I realized in 2015 when Pantone’s Color of the Year was Marsala, a faded maroon, that pinky-orangey-red colors tend to complement and bring out most every skin tone which is just so lovely! (Idk how well it that logic applies to alien and plant sims though!) Anyways that’s my 2 cents and then some ✌️

[@_doodles01]

I think she just says it's horrible because she doesn't normally like orange in general

[@Metriics]

I love simsie but we all know she's allergic to fun funky colors LMAO

[@CorbeauDigitalArts]

It used to be in fashion (at least where I live) in the early 2000s as an outside colour. I live in a place where the stone from the surrounding mountains have a little pink hue to them. They aren't like bright pink of course, they just have a warmer tone than simple gray. So a lot of the houses have pinkish stone foundations and they used this bright paint on the walls and it was wild, but I liked it.

[@xoderota]

This is actually one of my favorite builds you've made, it has a lot of personality, I love the backpacks in the kids' rooms, the color scheme, everything about it, definitely doesn't seem like a base game + party kit build, it looks very polished and pretty!

[@VirginiaBoden]

You should so do a decades-inspired build challenge! You could start with a 50s style build, then 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s! Using no pack restrictions.

[@dyms2034]

That would be SO cool! I’d def watch that

[@sarahlamper5701]

omg I would love that

[@writinggamer8059]

I know Kayla won't see this, but a tip for anyone else that sees this, the balloons that go on the wall work like a curtain rod. Both of the types of streamers and the flat LED lights slot under it perfectly. Also, you can layer the LED light sheet, the both types of streams, and the backdrop poster with the balloons at the top, so that's 5 layers you can combine in any combinations, and the balloons tie it in to look cohesive. You don't need move objects to slot the layers.

I wasn't interested until I watched Lilsimsie's video yesterday. The things that stood out for me were the dance floor (for the same reasons that she said she liked it, although I do like the fancy dance floors for some builds), the tile wall things (yes! It's going to be great in kitchens), and the bar (which, for a change, doesn't have weird textures for all of the swatches. It does have some textures, but to have a plain bar is lovely!) So, I bought the kit. (Fortunately, I had some birthday money set aside specifically for Sims things.)

[@RaeCharm]

The dance floor myth comes from at least in part Satch on Sims, who tested it and wasn't able to dance on his KZbin video. The option was greyed out in his video, but upon closer inspection, I'm quite confident it was greyed out because there was no music playing as he tried in a base game house without a speaker. His reviews are sometimes very single-minded, like he goes in with an agenda.

[@rolandbaldwin]

I find Pixelade awful for an agenda. He berates everything for clicks.

[@user-pw6ol5ck1p]

I watched his video too and i also misunderstood how the floor worked and thought it wasn’t functional. I don’t think he had an agenda to make the kit come off bad ( he actually like kits). It just didn’t function the way he was expecting it to and he was going through quickly so he could get the review out.

[@sophiag612]

The “dance” feature works. The same way it works to dance when you click a stereo. However the group dance or dance skill are still locked. So really the dance floor doesn’t add anything new that wasn’t already in the base game.

[@RaeCharm]

@@user-pw6ol5ck1p No, I just think he jumps to conclusions and isn’t thorough once he’s made his mind up. That’s what I mean by an agenda. I don’t mean he’s nefarious. I just mean he knows what he thinks about the pack already and won’t explore further to give it a chance. I wouldn’t defend this pack anyway, but I get sick of this happening so frequently with him. He often makes videos without understanding how things work, then gets mad at them for being bad or useless. And it’s like, “dude. Google it. Isn’t this your job?”

[@RaeCharm]

Like maybe a cluster of kazoos and confetti poppers that could be put multiple places in a party house.

[@Amity-park]

@@Amity-park- It happens in builds with really tight spacing or the open space is taken up by clutter. It helps if you put the cake directly next to an empty 3x3 space indoors.

I agree, but also good to remember that everyone has different likes and dislikes. For example Simsie has many kits I'll likely never buy, but this party kit I personally think is the best kit there is (also worth noting it's as big as a stuff pack and half the price!), so yes pick and choose don't feel you have to get them all, but pick and choose based on what you like not what someone else says you should get.

It's been in my top3 wishlist for soooo long. I honestly give this kit a 8/10

[@GirlOfTheTardis]

Make a venue rather than redecorating your home repeatedly, and decorate in a colour scheme that you feel fits most occasions. I made a party venue for all ages and occasions with this kit (dance hall in black and gold with dj booth, rainbow kids birthday room in the back, bar upstairs with balcony over dance floor, bathrooms with baby changing, and full kitchen including chefs station), and it's suitable for birthdays at all ages, Christmas parties, new years, after wedding parties, and more. So much better than house parties
