[@annak8176]

🤣 OMG That made me laugh! So true though...

I wouldn't be surprised, or a butterfly breeding pack, or My pet Butterfly pack.

[@V-Bug]

​@@onidaaitsubasa4177 Yup the frogs from base game will be replaced with a 2d butterfly that occasionally moves it's wings. £49.99 butterfly collector EP and all of the simps and certain ea sponsored KZbinrs go rabid for it

[@Marymay333]

dear god dont speak this into existence

[@AlexisTwoLastNames]

your commentary on binary fashion/EA’s laziness is totally sane and makes tons of sense. the filters allow us to put whatever on our sims, so male and masculine sims should not be shorted. i’m a straight woman and like to make both male and female sims, and i especially want my male romantic partners to not wear the same three outfits lol.

[@MoonlightBrillance]

Same!! I have to reuse the same outfits for my male sims as I like to make them look masculine and I am TIYAD 😂😂 give us more options EA!

[@anomalytenacious]

I agree, the whole point of the tag is to help players find what they are looking for. Some of my men dress more flamboyantly but I also want some to look sharp with well fitted clothes, while others I make might dress with more loose and casual clothes. However the overall way they make clothes fit the male frame looks terrible for many outfits , and what isn't badly fitted is just a female outfit converted to male. This doesn't even touch on how bad their hair looks.

[@elie_l]

I'd add that when you want to make a male framed sim wear female clothes, you understand the crap: they just put the clothes on the frame not adapting the clothes so they fit badly making your Sims look ugly. A dress that would normally fit on a slim flat chested woman or a man in real life doesn't in the game because they are just lazy.

[@Klondike877]

Yes but also, I dont want the male npc autogenerated sims having those earings or other that we had in the past kit that are not meant for males sims... this is so annoying.

[@Klondike877]

@@MoonlightBrillance Yeah, I mean there a lots already if you have certain packs, like my first ranch stuff or others... but certainly not the modern menswear kit lol

[@blameitondanny]

I don't understand the obsession of making male sims outfit so baggy. Why can't I dress my male sims with tight fitting clothes a.k.a dressed like a jock.

[@augusto7681]

The baggy cloths are trendy right now, but there is skin tight male clothes in base game and in some expansions.

[@heath6802]

I’m not even asking for tight at this point, just well fit would be great

[@dummyynat]

i was wondering why there isnt a crop top specifically, and it does seem like laziness from the sims team

[@anomalytenacious]

Then EA needs to stop selling diversity and just market themselves as trendy since that is all they are.

[@vanillaskin1907]

I agree so much, I don't hate the bagginess but there's just so much of it. Plus, it just looks weird on a lot of my sims, especially muscular ones. It has the effect of making their heads looks tiny and overall messes with their proportions.

[@ShandieHammelmos]

I want an all MALE sims clothing and hair kit. Why is the males ALWAYS being so neglected I don't understand!! If the sims team find it so damn hard to make male clothes and hair then collab with CC creators !! Like common it's about time to show some love for the male sims in this game.

[@acors_ca]

Always the same jacket and vest. Always the same haircut. And the only kit we have for males is just a weird one with designer clothes that are very unusable.

[@mihmo2663]

Hey, there WAS an all male kit, you know? It was skirts and torn sweaters 😂😂

[@mjc42701]

They seem to always treat the male sims as second class, your right, CC is the only way to have a good selection of choices.

[@Ready-ForTheEnd]

They don't even get much cc either. I wish creators would create more modern clothing for male sims. Not just skinny jeans either. Just regular semi loose fitting jeans.

[@ancaryvan4811]

[@akasharose7860]

It’s called a dashiki ! And woman wear them as well . Also the other thing is in urban society we wear OVERSIZED jerseys as girls. 4:00

[@amberbouley]

I believe he is saying the 3D mesh of those shirts look like it was created for male frame bodies then just put in the female frame section instead of making 2 different meshes to better suit each body frame. That is why he said it was lazy. I wish EA provided unique dashikis or jerseys for female and male. Maybe different colors, different patterns, and so on instead of a copy paste.

[@gracelynnblack]

@@amberbouley Yeah, I have some classic football jerseys from my dad, they’re meant for a male frame but, they look waaay different on me than they did on him. It’s absolutely laziness and we know this because, there are loose fitting clothes in the game for feminine frames already that look totally normal… Incheon arrivals comes to mind

Those chunky earrings are called bamboo earrings in the black community. They were popular mostly from the late 80s to mid 90s. I've had them in silver, gold, black and green. I need to get some new ones.

[@MoonbiscuitSims]

I think its great both options are available for both genders but they have to make a complete set of gendered stuff for each gender and not just recycle it or do less male clothing I agree and understand your point. It isnt about hating unisex its about then being lazy and trying to make less stuff

[@RubyBlueUwU]

The game is lacking in standard “masculine” fashion for everyone, I make butch lesbians and nonbinary sims and need CC to have them looking decent and not just wearing the same 3 masc outfits…there’s an imbalance for sure, but I agree making the meshes available for both frames isn’t the source of the issue, it’s just being lazy lmao

[@MoonbiscuitSims]

@RubyBlueUwU yes exactly for example the jewelry all my masc sims wear the same earings and necklaces all the time or the same cc jeans i wish there were more options for everything

[@IzzyCoventina]

So for some context: the simmer who did this kit actually confirmed that the 1st piece of CC they made was a dashiki (the shirt next to the butterfly shirt) & it was the reason she started getting into creating CC, to fill in the gap the Sims was missing, hence the inclusion of it in the kit as it was super important to her. Also she mentioned how the basketball shorts with the numbers representing her family members birthdays & that many of these pieces are things she herself has made into CC & many also are pieces of clothing she wears IRL. Honestly I think that's really cool & it gives such a more personal touch to this kit.

[@karmakameleon113]

Urban 2000s WHERE?! They missed all of the most common pieces and styles: hip hugger bell bottoms, huge belts for women and men, bandana tops, capris/pedal pushers, spaghetti strap tank tops, those short ruffled 2 or 3-layered skirts, oversized short sleeved plaid shirts and bowling shirts (preferably with dragons on them) for men, oversized baggy denim shorts for men, Kangol hats for men and women, platform sandals, parachute pants for men and women, t-shirts over long sleeved shirts for men and women, Juicy-style tracksuits, oversized baggy tracksuits for men, peasant blouses, trucker hats for men and women, butterfly hair clips and those "tattoo" chokers and bracelets. I'm not familiar with the designers but I can tell they weren't even out of diapers (or even born yet) during the early 2000s. I find this kit mildly upsetting. lol

[@karmakameleon113]

@@kiddy1992 In the early 2000s everyone pretty much stuck to the same general range of styles worldwide (except for Harajuku, Japan, who were the "different" and "weird" trailblazers), so there isn't really an excuse for how they could have gotten it so wrong (especially with the huge amount of reference material out there).

[@luxniv3675]

I guess it's a similar situation as with the Goth kit where they prefer to go with a modern interpretation of the style instead? Maybe to be hip and cool with the kids? Also, coming from someone who's both into making CC and works in the design field there's always someone upstairs who tells you what to do, and that certain someone is almost always some desk-jockey in a pinstripe suit. No hate, no shade at anyone. I just wanted to theorize on why this kit is so polarizing lol

[@karmakameleon113]

@luxniv3675 Omg you make cc?! I have a serious "cc shopping" addiction and it's mostly for clutter/deco items and CAS items. I'm not fashion-obsessed irl but my sims are. Lol What's your creator handle and where can I find your stuff?

[@Oeachky]

The chunkiness of the earrings, revealing shirts and the big, baggy jersey shirt that seemed to be masculine is definitely part of urban style. You can see these styles in large American cities like St. Louis & stuff.

[@hubrisbrutus6805]

I don’t think most are understanding that this is from Ebonix and her CC looks like this just better texture lol. The males sims clothes are meant to be baggy cuz that is her style. The big jersey for female sims is meant to be there because that is how she does her CC. The cultural context is just flying over y’all’s heads. 😂

[@hubrisbrutus6805]

[@catsunpear]

they also use "woke" as an insult, so I don't know if having more information would have changed anything in the review. i guess it's easier to grasp at the anti-woke straws than just saying you don't like/aren't happy with the kit (more engagement).

[@hubrisbrutus6805]

@@catsunpear yes I like his reviews but the constant rage baiting is annoying. Like what is the purpose of constantly speaking on people “supposedly “ calling you out for being ignorant if that’s untrue.

IMO anyone using woke as an insult is ignorant and way too invested in politics.

as someone who grew up around girls who wore those chunky hoop earrings, they are SPOT ON. perfect size, texture, and all. Made me nostalgic lol.

[@RubyBlueUwU]

Obviously your elders are gonna wear the butterfly crop top. Duh. (Fr tho I’d love a good elders kit, there’s definitely not enough stereotypical grandparent fashion in the game)

[@lazyladytired]

To be fair, that is pretty accurate to women's fashion nowadays lol

[@Sayitaintso223]

⁠@@lazyladytiredI don’t think I’ve ever seen an elder woman wearing anything like this IRL. I think that’s the point of the OP. EA packs and kits keep catering to all the Teen/YA/A life stages. Leaving elder sims in the lurch. They also do this for infants, toddlers and children life stages of not creating enough CAS content for them. Which you would think they would explore this market for cash grab sakes.

[@SecondHomeArt]

About the point in masculine/femmenine filters - totally agree with you. With these unisex clothes, there's just no point with filters. If I want to dress my girl like tomboy I just remove fem. filter, what's the problem? No one says you cant dress male sim in girl dress if you wish, but you should make separate clothes for both. Even now there isnt many male clothing in the game, and EA still tries to impress us with the nubmer of new game items so we would SURERLY BUY every kit they realease. I dont get actually, why, as ypu said in the video, girls got all naughty stuff, and boys got more ordinary and basic clothes. Why they not care to change the earrings that will match some new boys unique jeans or top? Lazyness? Maybe. Just change the girly heart on the earring to circle, or to X, or lightning, so it would be at least more unique. Just a little bit. No need to try reaaly hard, because I'm still not buying it until you fix the game.

[@thecryptidGrey]

Quick note- the top at 1:45 is actually a bodysuit, it has some shorts attached if you take the bottoms off! An interesting choice for sure, but hopefully someone finds it useful :)

[@julesauburn8713]

Thanks for the tip. I’m def going to buy this kit. The other one they released…no way. 😂

[@neishag2767]

Honestly. If this kit had all Afro inspired HAIRSYTLES kit only, no clothes. I would buy in an instant. And so would many others that don't have access to CC. This was a missed opportunity, especially since Ebonix hairstyles be 🥶!! Still congrats on the collab once again!!!

Except people would complain they are seeling "diversity" and it should be free.

[@neishag2767]

​@@augusto7681 it's true they would be sealing diversity. They are already doing that with packs/expansions anyways, which will never make it right, but at this point it is what it is. This kit is already sealing diversity as is, so might as well give us what we want. Afro hairstyles kit would have been 🔥 by Ebonix

[@RubyBlueUwU]

@@augusto7681so the answer is to just not bother making them at all? Like they could make a donation to an appropriate charity or collab with a bunch of black creators to try and even it out. Selling diversity is dodgy and people are allowed to be annoyed when their natural features and culture are considered afterthoughts and add-ons that they have to pay extra for, but that doesn’t mean you just…don’t do it ever.

[@augusto7681]

[@augusto7681]

@@katiedidd7825 I didn't said they shouldn't be in base game. I said they could also sell black hairstyles as kit, as extra stuff. Not EVERY black hairstyles should be base game for the sake of diversity. Sims 4 already have more than previous versions, which is a good thing. If they add more, it's better, if they sell as kit it would be nice too. I am from latin america, there is almost nothing that resemble my country in the game. I won't claim jungle adventure should be free because it represent my culture.

The jersey tops should've been for male sims and they could've had jersey dresses for female sims. Jersey dresses were huge in the early 2000s.

The pack is based on early 2000’s black fashion. The cc creator is black and she said she had a strict item count that she had to keep to

[@sims_bb1387]

Nah Oversized is the style for those urban items. Its supposed to have a loose cool fit. Also, the hoops (earrings) are supposed to be that big. Hoops are well loved in black/Latina communities. (bigger the better) Butterflies and that top specifically were a big thing. Google Mariah Carey butterfly top it is an iconic look. I agree there could have been more male items and a full body fit for female.

[@anahenriques.]

One of the biggest problems with male frame sims clothes is the *clown color swatches, rendering most of them unusable and/or redundant,* besides the repetitive style/cloth category. How many jackets or vests with a t-shit in back and green or black and brown do we need?

They do the same things over and over again. The game is full of ripped/cropped jeans. Will they ever give us regular lengths and not ripped or skin tight? The game is also full of crop tops for women and I think there must be three other versions of that (cute) skirt in the game. I also agree with you about how they put masculine clothing in the feminine category to make it look like there's more content.

[@RubyBlueUwU]

It’s super easy to make slightly grungy sims and drag-adjacent (which I DO love but it’s not everyone’s style) but not a lot of standard or preppy or any other alt fashion…there’s so many subcultures and fashion trends to explore but we consistently get new ripped and skinny jeans every pack lmao. And I get so frustrated with the saturation of crop tops in a game obsessed with low-rider bottoms. Like I know the game is a decade old but having your whole torso on show isn’t a particularly flattering look

[@p.bckman2997]

The crop top thing may be a Californian thing. Where I live, we see one every blue moon or so. Then again, snow only melted last week around here.

[@clueingforbeggs]

I think the sims team don't realise (or just ignore) that you can't have diversity if you only represent groups that you've decided are 'the diverse ones'. Having a cut-off point where masculine clothes are considered 'not a part of diversity' just means that you represent less people. Nothing about making masculine clothes would be stopping them from having all the androgynous and feminine clothes they already have.

[@Kleines97]

But men = bad 😅😂

[@RubyBlueUwU]

The thing is androgynous isn’t just “woman lite” and huge amounts of people who are nonbinary lean towards masc aesthetics. Transmasc ppl exist, trans men, butch lesbians, masculine nonbinary people…it’s not somehow better for diversity to neglect an entire style of dress, you’ll still be alienating marginalised people.

[@clueingforbeggs]

@@RubyBlueUwU Exactly! Trying to represent only marginalised groups always ends up not just excluding the 'default' group (who, honestly, should not be excluded anyway. The Sims is a life simulator), but members of marginalised groups who do not fit in with your ideas of what said groups are like. It's a lose-lose situation.

I think he was just saying that the 3D mesh of the jersey looks like it was created for masculine framed sims then basically copy pasted onto a feminine body frame without much thought for making it fit. Personally I’d have rathered a unique jersey for female sims that draped better and maybe had more unique colors or patterns then a copy paste.

so much inspiration for noughties fashion & this is what was produced… ? 😩

[@tiffanygilbert8188]

Also, I think that weird tank top is actually a body suit.

[@ah-shar-ya2363]

One the the tee shirts is a Jersey the other is a dashiki it is an African shirt

[@NopWorks]

It's sad that the masculine/feminine filter being unlockable, a good feature for inclusivity, is being abused by EA to cut more content so that they can move on to churning out the next Pack faster.

[@christinaspiridou5429]

Idk. I play with male sims (I know, shocking). I make all different kinds if men, feminine and masculine, and I'll be honest, even with cc (which I have a LOT) it's hard to make masculine male sims. All the pants are cropped, the tops are baggy, or knitted and idk a "bro" football player guy wouldn't wear that 💀

[@Divagoddess1]

These are 90s clothing for Americans urban community by a black designer. It’s hard to review something you don’t understand like the jersey for example

[@arantxaortiz2757]

No, it was inspired in 90s and modern British urban fashion

I completely agree, even though this is not my idea of 2000s urban fashion I know she’s from London so it’s different there but he is just very cultured, but I think he plays ignorant on purpose

[@RubyBlueUwU]

@@arantxaortiz2757British and American fashion trends don’t differ that much, it doesn’t really matter, and the creator is black and specifically wanted to represent fashions popular in black communities in the 90s. There’s been a whole advertising campaign about diversity and part of that was this pack.

[@lochpearled]

we get a lot of feminine stuff so why not masculine stuff

[@anomalytenacious]

They need to collab with a simmer whose primary focus is maxis match male clothes and do a proper masculine kit.

[@Karaetify]

The neckless looks flat as hell

[@Klondike877]

I have a problem with gender clothing being tag as both sometimes... like the earings... because that means my random npc male sims will pop up with those on just like the giga indian earings from the street fashion kit... oh god LOL not again.

[@melissalonla]

Those boots are so 2014 omg, i don’t really feel like they match the rest of the stuff that well. The items are generally okay, the sporty shorts and baggy too are pretty cute

[@bunnyellabell]

yeah they give jeffrey campbell

[@nedrane297]

Yes! when they gender swap the clothes it doesn't fit the waist properly for males and the shoulders for females

[@keiko431]

I guess this pack is fine if you are playing on console since all of this clothes you can get them free using mods if i was thinking of buying this pack i would rather just donate the money to someone instead of filling EA pockets

[@anahenriques.]

Oh Camden Town! Now a Blackwidowlondon inspired kit would be great. Not whatever the “goth” kit was.

[@bambeeyejoy]

Ebonix said she had a very STRICT item limit for this kit. She tried to push it as much as she could. There is a petition for her to do another pack.

[@eleven22extensions43]

Makes sense , like the items but don’t like how it’s all over the place . Seemed like she was trying to get as many ideas out at once vs having creative control to do as she please . So many different styles and not many other base game items to go with them. Will rely heavy on having multiple packs to finish some looks.

[@princessriley1312]

Please, no.

[@donkeydarko77]

They should have had a man do the male fashion items. These are shite.

[@cececuthill6608]

Is it just me or does a lot of the items looks incredibly low quality? Like the actual physical swatches of it looks like crappy CC… sorry to the maker of this but it’s not it

[@BeautifulJeye]

I think that you need to research the history of Urban fashion and hip hop from the '80s to the '90s. If you don't understand the culture that the pack was getting inspiration from, then you shouldn't be doing a review of this pack

[@BeautifulJeye]

Also the name of the collaborator on this pack who you didn't take the time out to research is Thee Ebonix

[@awsome182]

I'll skip this pack, didn't like a single addition in this pack. 100% not my taste.

[@User-wr5qz]

I would say that the baggy clothes are meshed for women, not men. The fit on the male sim isn't well.

[@bowtiefox]

Just one beard for a kit just one atleast, like so few packs come with facial hair -__-

[@bunnyellabell]

you're so right. they're prob saving it for a Guys Only Kit

[@PhantomAuthor]

So once again the male sims just get rehashed items that look similar to things they already have, or they can wear the clothes that were clearly meant for the feminine frame and they didn't even bother trying to make the mesh work properly with the Sim's body. The necklace he said was 'suited to the male frame' is all stretched out, it's not even weighted properly on male Sims, because they created it with a feminine frame in mind. Idk, for a CC collab kit I'm pretty unimpressed. There's nothing in the kit that would make me want to spend the money, which seems to be a theme with most of EA's stuff these days, and (most) CC is free so it's kind of a no brainer that this is going to be a skip for me.

[@bethsmith6370]

Im been a sims4 player since 2019, and i like to ask for more hairstyles, like very long hair for both sexies, And for building i want functional windows, Were you can open the windows for breeze. Big windows, small windows should have a opening functi If you have wicked whims, they offer alot of free clothes. I use the wicked wims clothes on my sims looks cool.

[@Remianen]

5:56 Not male necessarily. The WNBA exists and there is a portion of the female population (in the US, at least) that wears those types of shorts. They're basically graphical board shorts. Sure it's usually guys who wear basketball shorts but there was a time where guys were the only ones wearing high heels, wigs, and carrying purses. This whole pack screams 'hood' to me, being throwbacks to my teenage years in the mid '80s to '90s ("the bigger the hoop, the bigger the....garden tool"). Many of those pieces were featured in "urban" films from decades ago. Love & Basketball (shorts), The Players Club (tight pants with the laces on the outside), Jason's Lyric and Set It Off (baggy fitted jeans), and the daishiki (6:45) featured in almost every urban film from The Last Dragon on. I don't hate it since it resonates with me more than most other kits. But I'd never put those hoops on any of my sims (refer to the earlier quote - and those hoops are BIG). On a side note, I've heard the word 'dungarees' more in this video than I have in the last 20 years combined! 🤣

[@ColdBrewPixels]

I love the late 90s early 2000s USA styles that are in this pack. I remember my aunt having those big chunky bamboo looking hoop earings. I myself wore huge baggy shirts (a lot of them taken from my dad's closet).

[@vividesu9943]

it reminds me that i'd love both an all mens pack but not like the last designer one we got, a proper menswear kit with unique but masculine pieces, and also an elders pack. so many crop tops and low rise pants.... my poor old ladies can only ever wear nifty knitting or cottage core because all the other stuff is always cropped AKjdsf

[@_Lavande_]

Growing together has some elder-appropriate clothing too... but yeah 😅

[@graysonrogers-barnes6302]

As a gender nonconforming trans man, I think you're right and you should say it. While I love mixing clothing types on my sims, there is such a depressing lack of clothing in the male category. I rely on cc to do something that EA should be doing.

[@phatkat1126]

Just to inform you, this pack is not british per say. It was created by a black summer to be more inclusive to black and brown people. I do understand that you do not get alot of the things that are in the pack. But I actually am hapoy that you liked some of the items. Ebonix is an awesome cc creator

[@shacaradurham428]

This review is one of the reasons I subscribe to you🙌🏽🙌🏽I was excited for this kit and it just didn’t do it. I agree there should have been so much more male content. This was a perfect opportunity. I love your honesty.. keep up the content ❤

[@Chiringa_]

I don't t know if someone told you before but you are identically an actor in Sense 8 show! Max Riemelt (Wolfgang Bogdanow) like brothers! Thanks for continuing to keep the game alive!

[@AnnieOakleavesAdventures]

Homage is a French word and not pronouncing the "h" isn't the way "American" way to pronounce it, it's the way the French pronounce it. I'd think you'd know that, since they're much closer neighbors to the UK than to the US.

[@Fragmented_Mask]

Technically you are both correct! In the sense that it is more common in America to pronounce it with the silent h (because the h would be silent in French) but it is more common in Britain to pronounce it hom-uj the way Satch did. I am British and have used both pronounciations, though I also speak some French which maybe explains that.

[@rachaelwillis5659]

the second "t-shirt" is a Dashiki they were very popular in the black community especially in the 70s

[@Deadpool4president]

It's always interesting when he actually likes an EA kit, but this was created by a Simmer, so that makes sense.

[@YazzyJ718]

🤣🤣🤣 As an American I have never heard it the way you said Americans pronounce homage. Was that a joke?

[@MadoliaSteel]

This would've been an excellent update for Get Together cause it needs some contemporary stuff 😭 🎉

[@jssfrk161]

As an Aussie, I’m wondering if h is starting to become a silent letter in the us. Think about how they say herb. The h is so silent they even say “an” herb instead of “a” herb. Interesting watching how language changes over time

[@soleiloshun]

The energy from this video in the comic section is very much. Why is Ariel black it’s like you purposely want to have a bad opinion because of what it represents and who was behind it but y’all praise the most basic ish

[@silvervixen007]

The stuff looks nice but I just kinda expected more? Also since I usually download CC for clothes, they all look just so much nicer and unique.

[@TheRealSim37]

I say homage like “home-idge”

[@sammidoneff]

100% I already have that sweater as CC. I hope it doesn’t break cuz I had a CC bed that ended up coming in Modern Luxe and it BROKE after the kit came out

[@carrinwhitehurst7397]

I actually think its a cop out.... like you can have some stuff the same but if you have more the same.... it feels cheep. Each gender should have like 8 pieces and then some that match 😅

[@dd4850]

What’s male and female is subjective. There’s plenty of traditionally masculine clothing and it’s all ugly. They should make better looking traditional masculine clothing

[@bunnyellabell]

i think that's what he was trying to say
