I feel like the CAS in this pack has a lot of opportunities for showing off characters' personalities, which I approve of. Some of these go a lot further than I ever expected Maxis to go!
I’m actually really excited for this packs CAS stuff! I like the amount of oversized tops for women (and even the crop tops) but I especially appreciate the more “daring” outfits for masculine sims. Overall it doesn’t feel too one-toned or themed which I really appreciate
agreeeeeee whilst i will not be touching the shoulder tops at all, i love that it feels balanced this time around. it doesn’t feel like they’ve just stuck to a comfort zone which i appreciate so much
CAS keeps getting better and better - generally, so I'm not complaining. But I DOOOO feel like a few of these pieces are very much previous items just revised - and some of them look a bit like poorly cut CC. But I'm happy with the assets overall. I LOVE the copying makeup/details to each outfit category. We definitely got that because of you, Mollie!
I would really have loved a longer medium curly/wavy hair for male sims. Not shoulder length, but similar and shorter than the curly hairstyle that Leslie from Strangerville has or Morgyn from RoM. I think the team should step out of their comfort zone with male cas assets especially hairs because it feels like we have seen the same undercut hair 100 times already in the latest packs. That said I love the bowl cut that comes with this pack.
As a Growing Together pack owner (but not for rent) I don't think there's much overlap. This pack is more vibrant (so I get the overlap with for rent) and with more patterns. Also GrT is very grandpa vibes while this one feels younger (with the graphic tees and the cuts). But it also has good basics. One thing I hate with masc cas items is how ill fitting it is as soon as my sims have a belly because they are boxy, very square. But the items in here seem more rounded, more flowy? So overall I feel I could really use the cas (except the costumes 🙃). I'm scared random townies will appear with the costumes though. 😭
i feel the shirts and cardis are so growing together coded, i also think the cord doesn’t help with that lol. and the shirts feel v similar to ones we’ve got in kits but i do enjoy the patterns on them so happy we have them. i just need them to play with cuts more and actually give us nice basics for masc. yeah they fit really nicely which i LOVE
I love the accessories copy!!! Now though, I want the ability to hide clothing/accessories/hair in CAS that I am not going to use. Especially with all these packs coming out, it is becoming too much to sift through!! Or maybe let me pin all my favorite stuff and have a different menu for that?
I may sound selfish, buy I feel like for how much money we pay, we should get more. If that makes sense. I actually love the female create a sim for the most part. Unfortunately the male cas looks like stuff we already have for casual wear. I am disappointed that the straight hair updo in the clip has that chunk hanging out. I don't like that at all. It doesn't look flattering. Was excited for that hairdo until I saw it in the trailer. I just wish we actually got more for the price. I'm super excited for this pack though.
Honestly this is probably my favorite cas in a while. A lot of the risky stuff also leans into alternative clothing styles which I'm always happy to get more of and we have a lot of really colorful stuff in the masculine tag whick I tend to adore and have a lot of fun with but we just don't get often. I even like the shoulder tops cause again they kinda lean into some of that just not mainstream style. I also use CC from some creators who kind of push the maxis match lable so while some if the assets don't look as nice as say Senate's CC (definitely push Maxis Match but gorgeous CC and works for me but I also don't need the writing on stuff to be simlish so yeah) they also don't look any less like sims 4. Yes, Senate's stuff looks so much better but if they're inside what I use these things will at least not look out of place.
I really love this review! I love the way you did it and your honesty about it. I personally really don’t know what to think. I know I often download things that can make my feminine sims look more sexy and I’m glad that we get that in this pack. As for the men, I’m always disappointed with what they give us for them. Same syndrome then when I was a child playing Barbie... It’s like male sims are not really important, we have to include them because they exist, but they don’t get what they need and deserve, they are overlooked and when they get extravagant things to wear, it’s things I never ever use in my game. 🤷🏻♀️ I wish they would give masculine sims real masculine looks for a change, not just feminine looks arranged for male sims.
it already happens after costume parties so i’m expecting it if you ask someone to wear a costume lol but thankfully seems to be disabled for spawning townies
I already have an idea for the harness and thje chain. I'm going to pair ti wit ha pair of leather trousers from one of the other packs plus a pair of boots and boom you have adult content. I also like that you can create personal tags for relationships so those of us with adult interests can create those styles of relationships. It is annoying that yet again masculin sims get over looked. Its alsmost as if think only females bother to dress up and look good for dates or that only females want to look sexy for their partners men do too. However I guess it's sims imitating real life. After all most of the time men's clothing get shoved in a back corner whilst women's weare takes up two entire floors.
I actually think it's fine that kids didn't get stuff in this pack, sense this pack is a sexy pack it makes sense that kids don't get stuff. I'd be wielded out if they did
Same! I was honestly a little confused when she was saying she thought it was weird that the kids didn’t get anything cuz like what would they even get from this pack?
13:07 ofc the sims teams use anything as an excuse to do less work😂, same goes for children hairs, we asked for conversion from adult’s hairs and we never got a new unique hairstyles for children ever again…
I'm excited for the cas honestly I even like the costumes but somethings are similar to things we have yes but we have so much now it's prob hard not to
I'm happy with the clothing overall. The harness on female bodies is a nice idea, and the textures are good, but the way it fits on people is a little off. There's no way it would fit directly over the front of the breasts like that and stay there. It's not so bad in very small-breasted sims, but it looks very weird in larger ones. I'm small-breasted myself, and that would not even fit that way on me. Those straps are going to try to go the route of least resistance and that is not it. I really love the new shoes, the eyelashes, and the maid and butler outfits.
Excited about being able to copy stuff over. Not feeling the sleep mask. Like you said they could be wearing that while cooking which is not realistic.
we could always have 2 sleepwears of the same fit but just with one having the mask and the other not and have them quickly change when they get up lol
the game just says if you’re mean to someone when they’re not satisfied then they can break up with you, which is the same reaction as breaking their boundaries that i showed in this video. i didn’t even notice one of my guys wasn’t satisfied until i checked him and his boyfriends panel
i really wish they would just put all the clothes in both frames, i want more options without having to deal with the weird fit that you get with opposite frame clothes. like cmon sims team, gender is a scam, let us be free

Their is a lot more adult looking stuff which is great.
I'm just glad we're getting new tattoos, I always appreciate having more variety

What kind of EA Collaboration packs do you want to see?

daaaaaamn that also would be helpful lol

I'm in love with the football jersey ♥ for a pack inspired by Mexico, it's a must-have
Watch us all have a bunch of peach and eggplant townies walking around all over the place. Imagine?? 😂😂😂

@@EnglishSimmer That's funny. I need to have some costume parties!

I was just wondering if you’d done any videos about CAS for Lovestruck, I was curious about your opinion on it!
I actually think it's fine that kids didn't get stuff in this pack, sense this pack is a sexy pack it makes sense that kids don't get stuff. I'd be wielded out if they did
Same! I was honestly a little confused when she was saying she thought it was weird that the kids didn’t get anything cuz like what would they even get from this pack?
Yayy I’ve been waiting for this
Thank you for your hard work Mollie!
I wish they did more than one or two aspirations, especially when they're usually just tutorials 😭
13:07 ofc the sims teams use anything as an excuse to do less work😂, same goes for children hairs, we asked for conversion from adult’s hairs and we never got a new unique hairstyles for children ever again…
perfect timing! 🥰
I love it when you go through cas 😊💕✨

cooking without looking: sims 4 edition
Does this expansion expand the game?
Excited about being able to copy stuff over. Not feeling the sleep mask. Like you said they could be wearing that while cooking which is not realistic.
we could always have 2 sleepwears of the same fit but just with one having the mask and the other not and have them quickly change when they get up lol
@@EnglishSimmerThat's a very good idea!
I like the romantically reserved trait. But most of the CAS items I do not see myself using for most of my sims.
I think some items are cute but I am defo more than a build than using cas 😂 interesting to see though!! ❤
feel called out by arvin king in the eggplant costume
i dedicate him to you
Is there an update to cheating? Do kids react to their parents cheating? Friends or family?
nooo that’s still not a thing
Are the relationship dynamics exclusive to the pack or coming with the patch?
Exclusive
exclusive to the pack!
Thank you
I don't understand the shoulders-only tops, in sims or in real life. I think they just look silly.
If you do game play can it be about a single mom trying to find love
When romantic satisfaction drops, what are the consequences?
the game just says if you’re mean to someone when they’re not satisfied then they can break up with you, which is the same reaction as breaking their boundaries that i showed in this video. i didn’t even notice one of my guys wasn’t satisfied until i checked him and his boyfriends panel
