A kit theme is just that a theme, the bars in game do sell food so in with basegame you could set up an eating place with them. Kits are like those micro lego kits, they are little things to add onto what you have if you want. Not to mention we have Home Chef Hustle, the Cafe lot type in Get Together, and a crap ton of Market stalls. There’s a few in game mechanics you can use to create a place for Sims to go out to eat. I don’t love kits, there’s too bloody many, but they are sort of a ‘self judge if this is useful for your gameplay’ type thing. And you could use the furniture in the bistro kit for a lot of things besides a litteral bistro. Including yes, a basegame bar or lounge.
@SyntheticGoth2 ай бұрын
@@TheDawnofVanlife Definition for bistro is "a small, relatively simple restaurant, especially one offering French or French-style food" keyword being "restaurant". In order for this Kit to function as more than just a fancy bar/lounge setting, one would need to have Dine Out or Get Together. Like Satch said, if you're a builder this would be great for an aesthetic, but to get actual gameplay that fits the theme, you need extra DLC. Somebody with only base game or a pack with market stalls would not get much use out of this, even if food items are being sold. We all know Sims don't usually bring their food to eat at a table; they either stand there and eat right at the stall or the bar which defeats the entire purpose of the chairs, tables, etc. that come in this Kit. In Dine Out/Get Together, they are more inclined to sit at a table because of the dining functionality.

@@TheDawnofVanlife a bigger issue is definitely the fact that these empty (but pretty) kits take away time and resources from stuff packs, game packs, and expansions. kits were a last-minute addition, and honestly if ea weren't money-hungry and constantly releasing bland packs, i would LOVE kits. small packs with specific themes you can pick-and-choose from? it's not a bad idea in theory. but within the context of every broken, boring pack ea pushes out, kits are just another way for them to squeeze a penny out of their player base. i think we've all had an underlying bad taste in our mouth since the introduction of kits. i have many, and i love them lots, but i would 100% choose better game packs and expansions over them.

I do like this kit, but it feels like a Parisian bistro designed by Americans who have never actually visited one outside of Disney or Vegas. Everything is too big, in real life, bistros pack a lot into a small space. Definitely needed a two tile bar, you're correct. The colours are great though, especially the darker jewel tones. Bought it without even thinking (won't be getting the swimming pool rocks kit).

You brought up a good point about the coffee machine being in a bar. I just made a build using this kit and originally I was going to make it a cafe (because I never play with cafes and I think this kit would look great for a cafe). Because I never play with cafes, I didn’t realize that even if you put a bar, separate from an espresso bar, a bartender wont spawn, like they would if you had a bar in a lounge, bar, nightclub. Only a barista would spawn. And I thought that’s weird because what’s the point of this kit having a bar and an espresso machine. So I decided to make a bar instead. The more I built using the objects, the more I realized that them adding an espresso machine was a poor choice. Like I get where they were coming from when looking into bistro aesthetics, but like you said, they also needed to consider how sims 4 lots operate. Other than that, I’m obsessed with this kit. I do wish they added maybe an extra item or two, but I’ll always never be satisfied with how small kits are. Also this is so incredibly small, but was anyone else disappointed that there weren’t swatches for the nectar bottle? Like cmon Sims, it’s the small details lol

You know what? The more I watch reviews, the less I’m tempted with this kit. And all reviews I’ve watched so far are unanimous: it’s pretty, it matches well, but it just lacks in wall heights for the limited items there are. I really like the flooring, the awning and the booth (as I don’t have Dine Out I really like that booth). And for the question of « is there enough to create a bistro? » to be honest yes for the play pretend. But there won’t be any kitchen. (Also because of bistronomy to me a bistro is more a restaurant than a bar so it definitely is not functional)
@corabeani2 ай бұрын
Personally, I bought this kit because my IRL town is Italian and French themed (it's a wine town), so I wanted to have builds inspired by it. It's honestly very lovely, but it could use a bit more. I had to pair it with Get Together to test it, but had the "oh.. it's lacking something..." moments. Just can't place my finger on what that is.

@corabeani2 ай бұрын
@@MirificentJoy I think the booth could use a small rectangular table and a slightly more clunky chair. For that half booth look since the table and chair the kit came with look very small paired with it. I think that the nectar bottle should be in more colors and maybe we should have gotten a trio of them. I also think a loveseat and a rug would be nice. Then a small... And I mean small candle cluster to be put at the center of the table instead of just having the tiny lamp. For outside, ivy and maybe an umbrella table. That way you have something for the "veranda" that the "panel" and opened door mention (btw the panel is an outdoor menu), and a more well rounded selection for inside.

I find it a bit funny that the chairs and barstools are the same design that we had in ALL the other Sims games, but it took 10 years to get them in Sims 4. In a kit. I would have like to have the decor on the shelves be objects so you you could use them as a hutch or whatever you wanted, like a hutch maybe, but the decor that is on there does limit your use of it a little. If I were playing Sims 4, which I'm not, and I was building with it I'd be using a lot of move objects to cover some of the decor that is on it to make it into what I wanted it to be. Gotta remember with the Sims team, its all about how something LOOKS not what it actually IS. Remember the stories! They want to see the stories you make with it! It's what they said in every single livestream. I'm wondering if the bar that came with the other kit matches this kit, so you can use the new one tile bar with it instead of the big one. Just curious.

If you have get together, you can 100% make a cafe with this kit.

Now that I have more packs, I still use bars sometimes for this. The “bistro aesthetic” is a theme for the items not a cage you have to tie yourself to while using it.

The only thing I noticed that changed in my dine out gameplay after uninstalling was that sims get up and like to walk around sometimes at the restaurant but they’re pretty easy to recall with the “sit together” option at dinner but the act of having dinner itself in the sims 4 seems to now perform very smoothly now since the update.

Gotta use a kitchen element, but than again that looks awful next to the barback and I couldn't find a matching swatch for the teal palette.. The mirror we get with that kit is just awful - it's too big and is placed too high wich looks ridiculous with the new wallpaper et compared with the low wall height.

Maxis put a cozy bistro build on the gallery but made it a lounge instead of a cafe, the obvious choice.

It looks like there's something wrong with the divider. It's meant to separate booths, not freestanding dining tables. Why didn't they give players booths that would fit correctly inside them? It makes no sense.

Yeah you have to make it sims 3 community lot style with the random self serving bar and coffee maker if you dont own dine out lol I don't dislike this stuff per se, its just that I didn't feel it was needed especially if you dont own dine out and if you do own dine out it is broken so unless you use the dine out reloaded mod it is pointless, and if you use mods there is tons of cc that is already like this stuff. so...If anyone wants alternate mods for the same ideas, AroundTheSims4 has tons of bistro CC for sims 4 My opinion about kits is not matter what limit it has on objects, different wall height variations for things DONT COUNT Out of the two kits i think both are meh but not bad, but weird choices and require other packs to reach their potential which isn't fair for people who don't have them

There is a base game table that was patched in that's a replica of s French bistro table called the mafique or something like that has a gold and white swatch if that helps and that maybe why the kit only has outdoor feel tables I think the table I'm thinking not its thumbnail swatch is gold and teal... Could be wrong.

at first glance I thought this kit looked really enticing and fun with the Parisian cafe/1920s America vibes but then, watching the review video makes you realize it lacks in the gameplay aspect because why would they include a coffee maker when you cannot even put it on top of the bar? definitely needed some coffee machines like the ones that came with get together. still all the items are really cute though.
@magdalena93462 ай бұрын
This kit is like bar in 1920' to be honest. Doesn't look like bistro to me. Bit fancy aswell. That's the vibe I am getting personaly from this kit. Too bad for ea that my disappointment is immeasurable and I am not buying their stupid products anymore because I would get this one.

I’m one of those sims girlies who is more interested in gameplay being expanded upon. I could care less about the decorative content by EA that’s put out in kits. It literally sucks imo I use CC and mods for all of my sims looks and rarely do I get into the decor of my homes. The hairstyles made for the sims are so awful especially for curly hairstyles I stick to CC. New objects are cool but I just want fairies and I’m honestly getting super tired of the actual GAMEPLAY of the game being ignored. Idgaf about more colors and textures for curtains when I can’t even do what I used to in previous sims games.
