The Sims 4 High School Years is here!!! CAS review

[@suan333]

I love how James' first video is buy & buy and Deli's is CAS *priorities*

[@deligracy]

Haha. I feel this is always the case

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

Well for their finances it would be a smart choice

[@sirenatheodyssa]

I actually like it because Deli definitely uses create a sim more than James and it means I see both in the early days of footage.

[@28FineLine_]

I saw that now too and it's too cute actually 😍😂

[@28FineLine_]

@@sirenatheodyssa Yeah I like how they cover what they're most excited about too, it makes me way more excited when they are genuinely freaking out over new packs and content 😂👌

[@EmmaLisaRoux]

I think it's the first time I really see how the story telling is going to be impacted by the CAS items. The styles are very defined and it seems they will be a great tool for showing personality. Usually I just find the clothing beautiful and really well done, and I enjoy spending a lot of time in CAS, but I never feel like I am shaping a personality, more that I am finding fits I find nice and to my taste. I think this pack will make me get out of my comfort zone in terms of style!

[@Kat-yr1xe]

I was thinking the exact same thing. For the first time I'm excited to do not my style looks!

[@AuttumnDawn]

I totally relived my Teen years of the 90s in this Pack.

[@kelb6073]

Exactly

[@briannawink6490]

I agree at first I didn’t think i was going to like any of the clothes when I first looked at the pack but seeing it on a sim I love them

[@annoar9776]

I think in Cottage Living you could actually see that too :)

[@youreonlyfifteenonce]

That’s so crazy that there’s an Internet Girl collab! I actually went to high school with her (she was a year or two older) and she’s been on depop for years. Her style is very y2k / punk grunge. That necklace is one of her own designs she sells, it’s one of her most popular and she’s been selling it for ages!

[@ColorOfCozy]

As a black simmer I love how content creators like Deli and LilSimsie appreciate other cultures, ethnicities, backgrounds, etc. There’s nothing that makes me happier then seeing them discuss braids or just different things that are often overlooked or appropriated and not talked about

[@trinibelle49]

Same here! I'm also really glad she seems to be mindful of appropriation and is respectful of the culture surrounding these hairstyles!

[@Notabot544]

I’m personally not black but I love making black sims so I love when their are more braids hairstyles in the game

[@mattie1066]

same I love the diversity in their let’s plays and households

[@rakellbase9561]

Depop is an app you can find on of a kind Clothes. Some people customize clothes or you can find vintage clothes that are not being made anymore. I think that is the reason for not seeing swatches on some items to kinda fit the depop aesthetic.

[@tanishahooda4552]

I love how James' and Deli's videos together provide a full review of the pack :') It's like they complete each other!

[@catherinecampbell1215]

There aren't more swatches because realistically if you are shopping second hand you don't tend to have unlimited swatches to choose from like you would if you were shopping fast fashion. I think they just wanted the CAS to be realistic with the second hand element they are going for.

[@rachelcookie321]

Even fast fashion doesn’t usually come in lots of colours. Most clothes only come in one or two different options unless it’s like a basic style. Wherever you go shopping, in real life clothes tend to only come in a couple options at most.

[@Claudyafuller]

I just want to say, it was really sweet and something wholesome about you wishing that you could wear braids. I’ve been watching you for years, since your LP with Trinity and Cody. Thank you Deli for being My All Time favorite Sim Gal 🫶🏽💕Sending Love All the way from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ! Excited for this Pack!!

[@Shaiboyardee]

Yes! She’s my favorite too . Philadelphia simmer gang here!! Lol 💕💕💕

[@JessicaErin]

I always love hearing about the differences between Australia and America. It’s always interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@meesh8023]

Australia education is a lot like Canadian education. Learning about USA education is crazy to me as a Canadian. 😅

[@scottadams8202]

I was originally worried about the cas cause 99 percent of the teens In the trailer were styled like young adults however they actually have a lot of age appreciate teen outfits and I am so excited !

[@complainer406]

I think we could use an age-based cas filter. Similar to the outfit type one that the player can take off if they want, but still helping the townies to generate a bit better

[@TheColourfulSidetwitch]

@@complainer406 yea! I’m hoping given it’s still in development that they maybe even add school as one of the outfit tabs at the top so you can customise the sims uniform

[@StragProductions]

@@complainer406 something like that actually already exists in the game's code - clothes can be tagged as "appropriate" for each age group. idk how well it works in practice but the tag exists.

[@28FineLine_]

I for sure see a lot of Euphoria and Clueless/90s inspired styles in CAS. Love it!!! 😁 I'm so excited to see build and buy review. Will you be doing that before release as well?😊

[@AuttumnDawn]

I lived my Teen Years in the 90s. I owned the charmed necklace, it was all the rage. N the Clothes, is 70s on.

[@28FineLine_]

@@AuttumnDawn same! 😂

[@tonje_gram]

As a mom to a transgender kid, I love how The Sims team makes the game so inclusive and do their part to normalize and educate.

[@rebekahreeves9251]

I love everything in the CAS of this pack but I’m a little disappointed there’s not more shoes, especially heels for a pack with prom

[@artical]

Really looking forward to this pack! Would really love to see you do another Hampton falls style let’s play, the new functionality would really take the let’s play to another level!

[@judlinewren1711]

The gold swatches are rewards for when you max the cheerleading activity!! You also get a golden flag and a gold trophy!

[@amandas7368]

1. Thanks for showing us all of this in such detail! They've done a very good job with the CAS items in this pack 2. Seeing you talk about the sequin jumpsuit made me think of a video idea. I would love to see you order some Sims CAS items from a tailor and do a full week of dressing like a sim. I feel like it would be very cool, and a lot of fun, and there are a bunch of etsy shops that do really affordable tailoring + it would be so fun to see you get to wear the sequin suit :)

[@Lefunbags]

The clueless outfit is amazing! I cant wait to see all that you do with this pack and all the builds!

[@Mazmetron]

Omg I am overwhelmed by how much I love of the cas items... It's just hit after hit for me. Your fav hair is just jaw dropping

[@DH-pw6jj]

The CAS is amazing! Diverse, trendy, and there is a large amount!

[@mackenziedesire7515]

Deli and James make the perfect combo for seeing what's new in a pack right away- James always starts with B+B and Deli with CAS, no waiting necessary! Plus let's be honest, Deli's CAS reviews are much more informative and insightful than James'

[@chowellen7803]

I’m pretty happy with all of the clothes as this is what my wardrobe looks like! Now it will definitely be easier to make my sims self

[@pamluxford5854]

Woot!! So excited!! After watching i would love to see more accessories, footwear and those extra swatches on some items. There are some amazing pieces. Love the denim jacket with the artwork on it but MORE SWATCHES PLEASE. Awesome video! Xoxo

[@willow3837]

i loveeeee this cas. they really took different styles that different types of people would wear in high school and just added them ALL in. LOVE IT!!!!

[@daisyjo88]

This is the most excited I have been for CAS items in a new dlc - thanks for showing everything in detail! I have just now decided I will definitely buy this ep !

[@eralonuva]

In the US we graduate so much! Anytime we leave a school pretty much! I graduated Kindergarten, 8th grade, high school, college, grad school. My kids have graduated preschool so far (but not Kindergarten).

[@kellykuzara3684]

Wow I’m so impressed with the CAS! I was planning to buy this pack but now I 100% will be

[@rowan910]

Yay!! So excited! Thank you so much for reviewing this Deli!!!

[@missejymo]

I love that the clothes are getting more and more universal for both frames, some clothes I want to put on the opposite and they just look awful in clothes from the older packs. The sims are really stepping up their game!

[@Cyeera]

the high school years definitely has the potential to be Hampton Falls-esque! I am excited!

[@CaityRaindrop]

I dont get why they don't separate more assets to expand the count, like I don't have the pack but I've already got cc that separated the necklace bundle and they are so nice and usable separate

[@ashemarlow6471]

I love the rainbow eyeshadow because I wore rainbow makeup to my 9th grade valentines formal

[@skywalker6648]

Really like that braided style in your thumbnail. They have come a long way in terms of braided hairstyles. This one in particular is giving me Zendaya vibes.

[@iwouldmarrybread8563]

Everything about this pack fits my everything. I pre ordered this within 10 mins after hearing about it

[@TheColourfulSidetwitch]

I hope your wedding to bread is wonderful :) :)

[@kacper11000]

Feminine CAS is so beautiful! Masculine one however, while having some cool pieces, most of it falls into the same old 3 categories like with every single pack before: athletic, preppy and jackets...I finally want something else! Pleaaaaaase EA

[@helenaglanville4924]

As a fellow Aussie. I think this pack is great, just a reminder for you deli, prom is called “school formal” in Australia.

[@stitchwitchsarah]

Also aussie here and it must be regional bc we always called it the year 12 ball or school ball

[@AlinaSmithMusic]

Everything looks so cute - I just wish there were more shoes 😭

[@traceyreid4702]

Deligracy as a Mum of both son's here in Melbourne. When my eldest graduated here in Melbourne its just a presentation dinner, but it's a formal event. We lived in America for when he was in middle school, he had formal photographs, gown as part of his graduation. I still like the Australian system better, it was a great night and all the kids dressed up they looked fantastic.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

These CAS clothes look awesome! 😎 It's up there with Get Famous, Island Living, Seasons and My Wedding Stories in terms of being one of the best CAS ensembles I've ever seen! 😍

[@noviered]

as a crocheter, i internally freaked out and screamed when i saw the crochet bucket hat!! its too cute!!!

[@mariongarcia5109]

Everything looks really nice, I just wish they would have made the teen body frame looking like teens like they used to in the others sim before.

[@k1ttykat916]

Everyone complaining on how unrealistic this pack is due to school dress codes and they can’t relate, did you stay at school on weekends to? did you never go to a party? I wore a uniform to school and I think the CAS items are great. Colourful swatches, out there styles as they are teens and still trying to discover their own style and who they are. I think they nailed it.

[@iamsuzerain3987]

CAS looks strong for this pack. Since I'm a console player will probably get it even if I don't use all the features. Thanks Deli...enjoyed watching!

[@sophstar007]

Perfect because I watch James for build and buy and I watch you for CAS each time we get a new pack ☺️ I think I am going to be obsessed with this pack omg 💖

[@Kate09090]

The matching track suits brought me straight back to my high school/early college days, when those Juicy track suits were worn by every celebrity. The Sims team nailed the CAS. Very excited about this!

[@sarathesimmersarathesimmer1300]

I haven't seen any of the pack gameplay, but from the assumptions that can be made of the "Goal Oriented" aspiration from this pack, I think it'd work perfectly if completed before graduation, so that sim can now get the "academic scholar" aspiration (I think it's called) from the uni pack!! :D I think that'd flow perfectly based on the names of aspirations

[@vandy5206]

Those first two tops are recolours of base game items. I think they’re meant to be base game items that were customised by the teen.

[@ellie6474]

19:46 correct me if I'm wrong but I think we have those jeans already in basic swatches, hence why those ones only have the single pattern swatch (hope this is helpful to someone)

[@meg6894]

Omg the mango and or peach bubble tea from coles! I love that brand!

[@popculturepandaaa]

Super cute cas items. Love the kawaii stuff and print swatch choices, I do agree many of the items would be cool if they came with more swatches though as many didn't seem to have any 💜 Thanks so much for sharing the awesome video 💛

[@whatthefrickmarysville4578]

I am so excited for the clothes! I love those jeans :*)

[@zirania6895]

Omg its just all the way throwback for my school years. SOOO all the way 90's wibe all over.

[@TheColourfulSidetwitch]

I really appreciate how this pack reflects fashion of today! Namely Gen z fashion. Which as a gen z person definitely my favourite! I might actually buy this pack when it comes out!

[@lynaluu5136]

I’m so happy that there are crochet items in the sims! As a crocheted, it makes me feel appreciated!

[@diamonddustable]

There is so many nice clothes! And I think these styles are a good addition to what there is before. Very unique and different but very present styles mostly.

[@HannaPritchett]

I’m really excited for this pack. I did not get werewolves, just not my thing. But this looks like it has a lot of potential for how I play!

[@mikaylalenae3647]

I love the diversity Deli always uses in her LPs makes everyone feel welcomed ..

[@karenoskkristjansdottir9979]

I'm so excited about these CAS items, I would 100% wear all of them in real life as well

[@markabele8794]

Great overview of CAS Deligracy, thanks.

[@Shaiboyardee]

I’m downloading this pack so fast! My damn Xbox is gonna crash CTFU! I love this already. I can not wait. Love you Deli! All the way from Philadelphia, PA

[@samayaleyva6765]

Hi yes the going through security thing is honestly very realistic in most schools personally I walk through metal detectors and get padded down every day also my my bag gets checked Although it’s a lot less extreme for some schools

[@lisajames295]

It’s crazy how I’m old enough now for things that were trendy when I was in high school are back in style. Hahaha

[@miah_plays_2]

I believe this pack and the uni pack have the best male clothing I am super excited to watch you play and to play myself 😊

[@glitteringashes]

Shoutout to the Sims team for letting us represent our asexual selves 🎉

[@lulug6924]

This pack gives me Euphoria vibes too. Specially with the fair and the ferris wheel!

[@kissekott]

Nice to see what we are getting in CAS for this pack. I'm not a fan of this ongoing 90's fashion trend though, so I can't see myself use almost anything of the new clothing. XD I hope the gameplay will be good. :D

[@blackiceprincess]

This is the best CAS clothing options in a pack. The sims team really did their thing with this one.

[@sarahj.hansen2541]

In Denmark when we graduate from high school we have these sailor hats😂

[@Kylermurf123]

Yes deli they said in the official live stream today that they doesn’t weeks watching shows like euphoria,riverdale etc to really bring in that teen vibe for this expansion pack and as you mentioned a few times a lot of the clothes Is definitely giving euphoria vibes and I love it 😍

[@cassondrabarnes5517]

It's not just because you watched Euphoria recently! There's a lot of Euphoria vibes in this pack!! I noticed it even in the trailer with that very Maddie inspired Sim with the high ponytail :) It's a smart choice, I think, considered the popularity of the show & the fact that all the main characters are teens/in high school!

[@April7739]

This looks really good! CAS has been great for a while now, but this could even be better than Discover University!

[@debradavis3935]

Deli, this is the perfect pack for Hampton Falls season two except I guess it wouldn’t be called Hampton Falls but you get the idea. Imagine how cool Hampton Falls would’ve been if you had all of these additional aspirations and traits, fashions and locations for your teens. Pretty please! We need something that isn’t a occult based… That’s realistic gameplay. Much love. 💜💜💜

[@fayes2793]

Omg the hairs😍 they’re amazing! I’m so excited for this pack!!

[@NeytiriPhoenix]

28:16 There seems to be a weird visual glitch on this plaid vest around the neck opening? Is that just me? Hopefully they'll notice this and fix it cause it looks odd.

[@livthomson3805]

The pink cargos remind me so much of the ones Nina Caliente wears in the sims 2

[@mackenziedesire7515]

Deli, I think the one-swatch items are all recolors of existing (and maybe all basegame) meshes, which makes me think, with the collabs, maybe they're recolors made by the people they collabed with and that's why there is only one swatch each?

[@midwestreader]

I love the attention tiktok trend fashion because this pack is perfect to introduce these clothing styles haha

[@luplayssims]

I’m so excited to have this pack and create some teens!! 😊😊

[@madeleineknight8963]

I too base my knowledge on American high school on high school musical 😂

[@KiraKassanova]

YASSSSS I WAS WAITING FOR EARLY ACESSSSS

[@usagiwhitenight]

I really miss being able to have a jacket section. Where you choose a t shirt and choose your jacket with that top :/

[@benpflipsen5697]

The pink cargo pants brought me right back to the Sims 2 😭😭

[@SweetAudrey91.]

I'm really excited for this pack! Such cute clothes

[@ylvawesterlund2575]

Oooh I can't wait to play!😍

[@user333happyvibes]

Ahh I love me some good ole Deli vids 😌! It’s the same feeling as a peaceful early morning ☀️

[@Simmary]

I think one of the SimGurus actually tweeted that they watched Euphoria as inspo for the CAS in this pack :)

[@matildacarlstedt]

Those pink cargo pants gives me Nina Caliente vibes, nice 😊

[@LauraB_]

I didn't realize the embargo was lifting so soon! I was pretty frustrated with how they covered CAS in the livestream so it was such a pleasant surprise to see you upload this video today. You always do such a nice job covering each asset. Well done!

[@syrasha_]

I wonder if additional swatches of the items with only 1 swatch will be unlockable through gameplay at the thrift store, this would be such a cool idea!

[@belindyyyyyyy2]

the clothes and makeup are so good i might cry

[@matthewmullins7500]

The white cami top reminds me of the sims 2 university

[@eeee805]

hey deli! the flower pin is called a corsage!!!

[@beebsisonyoutube]

oml igirl working with the sims to put the iconic igirl please return to hell necklace in simlish?!?!?!? I HAVE THIS NECKLACE

[@indigowulf]

I wanna know if they will have an option for schools to set a uniform or other clothing rules, and you get in trouble if you don't wear it.

[@rachelcookie321]

They have said there isn’t the option to do it and I’m so mad because it would of been so easy for them to add and it would of made it more inclusive to different cultures. I’m sure modders will get on it quickly but sadly console players won’t be able to set uniforms.

[@stitchwitchsarah]

There's SO MANY items and they all look so well detailed!? I want this pack more and more 😩 also got me thinking of my (Also aussie) HS graduation back in the day, we had graduation robes but no caps 🤔

[@Notabot544]

Prob just an Aussie thing I don’t know yet cause I’m only in year 6

[@brittanycuster3985]

Lmao Deli: Croissant...hand thing 🤣 love you, you make me snort laugh.

[@kkatip]

I wonder if the llama jacket was a nod to kappa because that was definitely my first thought when I saw it

[@bdaniel647]

Absolutely CANNOT wait for this LP. 😍😍👏🏼👏🏼

[@ThriftyShells]

can't wait for your lets play deli :)

[@hpdftba]

6:55 this reminds me of lilsimsie!

[@meganveronicaG]

I'm excited about this pack , hope it lives it up to the hype they play out on trailers
