READ ME PLEASE! Since I've uploaded this review, EA posted a statement about the pricing suggesting it was an error, and that people (like me) who got the Kits at double the price will be refunded, I'll post the statement below. BUT... Given they have now clarified the correct price for the Kit, I actually think it's worth it imo! "Simmers! We are aware of the incorrect pricing for the new Creator Kits on the EA App in the US/UK. This has been corrected & our team is working on full refunds for players who purchased the Creator Kits before the price correction so they can repurchase at the correct price."
10:54 absolutely right - should have had styled rooms! That said, I had NO CLUE till now that kits came with styled rooms! Cant wait to check my build kits! 😂
Interesting by the pricing. I'm from Germany and a kit costs only 4,99€ via Origin. I would never pay more than that, but even a bit cheaper? Yes. EDIT: so based on that we have always the same wallpapers & floors, i wish after so many years a bit more variety of these elements too.
It costs £10 because simmers insisted that EA actually PAY the content creators for their labour. They didn’t want to so they’ve made us do it for them 😂
Got them both for €4.99 as soon as you mentioned it, before they change their mind haha. I'm in Belgium. Literally quit my game to get them. If they were double the price I would have waited to get them discounted on Kinguin.
I don’t play the Sims enough to justify buying kits, but this one I kinda like it almost as much as I liked the pastel pop kit. I did buy the book nook kit because I’m a sucker 😂😂
Textures look better than the other creator kit, but what’s up with the round items having corners? The colors are unfortunate, too. Making better colors and making the round objects actually round would make the kit so much better. Sad to say it’s a miss for me, but I’m not even purchasing the DLC I actually want because EA can’t seem to get their act together, let alone kits that are not really a good ratio of items x price, the swatches are weird and there’s texture/shaping (?) issues.
There are some good stuff in it but the quality control is also a EA problem in their own pack. Life and Death is missing a lot of wood texture on so many objects like the fireplace and the book cases green, red, blue, black and grey color dont have the wood textures. Same for the counters, meanwhile other objects like the grand father clock have wood texture on all colors... that type of thing need to be fix asap... same with the stand I noticed it too, as I was reviewing the kit earlier and it jump right in your face. The round table also have weird pinkish pixels on some swatches, but the modular stands are awful. 100% will never use them because of that. Happy with the couches and coffee table, same for the radio... there are very good stuff in this kit!
I feel like EA doesn't want cc creators to make a lot of stuff to justify paying them less, but still make a lot of profit... Also I think that kits must go with much more items, not barely enough to make one room
For the price of it, they could make more versatile and functional objects. Blinds that you can open and close, closets that can hold things and books, modular sofas...
Kitsch is just pronounced kitch usually but cozy kitsch is a weird title for a kit cause it refers to items in poor taste that are usually only enjoyed ironically. I wouldn't say this kit reaches the level of overly garnished as the name implies. The carpet is going in the right direction but is still far too stylish imo to be considered kitsch.
I payed the usual amount that kits costs for these two. Are you sure it wasn't a glitch on your EA app? Maybe you should contact EA about it. Im from Denmark and kits cost 39 kr. and so did these two. If you payed more for them, I think you need to contact EA.
Apparently the doubled price was a mistake? They said they’re issuing “full refunds so you can repurchase at the correct price” - I’m sorry, they can’t just refund the difference? You have to actively choose to return and then repurchase to get your money back? Satch please let us know how they handle this, does it end up being automatic or do you have to go to them or they keep your money?
Wow, i see EA is still trying to step their game up through kits and packs now. I wonder how the game is still going to hold up against Inzoi and Paralives when they come out. Don't get me wrong like they are doing okay now with what they're putting out but the fact that there's still more DLCs coming and the game keeps crashing even for people with high tech gaming laptops is not a good sign. They should have started the Sims 5 with the help and input of cc and mod creators.
I just bought the kits and they ARE ONLY about $5 in the US. Same price as others. I think they are MORE worth the price... I think all kits are too expensive, but they aren't gonna drop that price any time soon. However, they are more worth it than the Bust the Dust kit.
i remember in school I said vase the way you did and my teacher yelled at me saying thats not how i to say vase kts VAYCE, thank you. I'm glad i can tell people to kiss my arse for saying it that say!
Omg do the books slot to the inside of the fireplace??? As someone who lives in nyc with a nonfunctional fireplace mantel I will use this all the time in my city builds!!!!
I wish they would make more green furniture. Maybe just do a whole rainbow. Edit: Just realized that muddy color was green. I was so confused. I thought it was a weird grey.
The furniture is nice but some objects are just filler, why put a light switch and plain shelves in this kit? The fireplace is just a recolor from basegame. The couch and small decorations are good.
Dang I should have watched you first. I just bought it. The kits sometimes be cute but boring. I wish the apple bowls you can actually eat these and fill them ...
Maybe I'm reaching but I think they wanted to sell them at a higher price but got too much pushback and decided to lower the price to that of other kits
My question is this... Does the creator get a percentage of the sales of the kit they created for EA? If not, they damned well should since they did all the work!
They probably raised up the price double so that they pay the creators $4.99. So EA 4.99 and the creators get 4.99. So EA does not work but still gets the same amount of money and we have to pay the difference.
4.99 GBP is 6 EUR and it's 6.30 in USD, but we all pay 4.99 in our currency. Can we change our paying currency to USD when buying stuff from EA? Because otherwise, why do kits cost differently in every country?
I feel like simply downloading kits and stuff have made Sims so lazy. Back in the day we would go to Toys R Us and buy a cd rom and would get shit loads
So we’re taking something that normally costs £5, outsourcing the work to people that usually do this for free (with patreon support) and doubling the price to the same cost as stuff packs. But they’re not offering as much as a stuff kit. Yep I’ll be skipping this one.
Exactly...back in TS3 days, I used TSR all the time, and had a few mods like overwatch. When I started playing TS4 last April (April 2024), as took a few years off from TS3, and when tried to play it it simply WOULD NOT PLAY... So hence now TS4. And stupidity signed up for a year of TSR. What a waste of money! Had my cc about a week, there was an update and it vanished. Have to remember yo cancel, as losing a year I'd bzd enough, don't want to pay next spring too for something I can't use! Can't figure out how to get my TSR cc back, and even if I could TS4 updates every couple of weeks anyway so what is the point of mods and CC? I only play Sims once a week or so, sometimes less, so there us just no point in mods or CC anymore for me. Glad they have these creator packs. REALLY WANT a CC hair pack, in fact a seris of themed hair packs would be AMAZING. EA hair is ok,but one thing thst drives me nuts is that there is no way to change the color of hair accessories without changing the hair color! And, that there are so few neutral color hair accessories.
I really, really don't like the aesthetic of this kit. In my opinion it's really ugly, especially the swatches. I own all the dlc but I think I'll have to skip both of the new kits. Not worth the new and elevated price.

i’m so glad you said this! my jaw was on the floor when u said $10
Ty for the clarification. I was deterred by the price. Do we know how much the content creator receives?
@@emmyvids101 Ikr my immediate thought was "oh, so they had to up the price in order to give these creators commission..?" lmaoo
about to say im in the uk and its a fiver
Confirming in the US that the kits are at the normal price now
omg a sofa, loveseat, AND chair?? that all match?!!?!
And a pouf !
History in the making. Lol!!!
It's almost like EA didn't make it 😅
Hopefully more kits and potentially bigger packs will be made fully by CC Creators and not EA
You can definitely tell these were made by cc creators and not EA, it's so pretty!
I can say that myshunosun is a very talented Creator. Most of her creations are better than EA creations
@@moopthesims Oh I've seen her cc, she's so talented! and I have multiple clothing items downloaded from Trillyke
myshunosun already released cc that's really similar to these so I'll save my money and continue using them lol
That’s why it looks better, EA didn’t make it.
I didn’t even know this was coming out yet! Surprise for me haha
I actually had them greyed out in my filter catalog since the beginning of November and i don't know why.
That extra long bleep-out had me gut laughing!
9:57 YES! Matching blinds/ curtains are a must for this kit! - why EA choose not to get the creator to include those is beyond me!
You know a cc creator made that kit when you get matching 3 and 2 seater sofas and a chair.
The orange is so 70s to me love it
I think the prices are maybe a mistake? they cost 4,99€ like all the other one for me
Even for Great Britain is a bit too much the 10 Pound Sterling price tag for 27 Objects, isn't it?
@@kali6753 it was a mistake and was corrected yes
@@kali6753mine was 4.99 I’m in the UK
@@yellow-persewhen are they gonna change it? are they gonna give refunds?
@yellow-perse Yes, thanks for saying this, I was reading the statement on this a few minutes later. My bad.
Two new kits?? When what?? So soon?? But we just had two new ones 😳😳😳😳😳😳
did you read the article where they were gonna release like over 20 new stuff at beginning of year? lol they weren't joking
@@z.startedafiresorry to dreamcrush you, but you just responded to a brainless bot.
I love the pillows on the sofa!
10:54 absolutely right - should have had styled rooms!
That said, I had NO CLUE till now that kits came with styled rooms! Cant wait to check my build kits! 😂
Another damn kit😶🌫️give me back my gamepacks😭
But I'm so with you on the blinds, Satch. Would love a curtains kit
We badly need that !

I’m so confused I just bought it off the EA app it was £4.99
@@IzzyandShadow Understandable. I think if @SatchOnSims paid double than he should contact them to get a refund.
@IzzyandShadow the price was already corrected by them, but it was still interesting to watch the review. 🙂
It costs £10 because simmers insisted that EA actually PAY the content creators for their labour. They didn’t want to so they’ve made us do it for them 😂
Of course they should be paid fairly in the first place, but why at our expense? EA has enough money.
The pricing was an error.
@@strange144 I know, but I wrote what I wrote and even than ,its true. 😉
No, it was a pricing error apparently.
It always trickles down to the consumers 🤪 🎉 cheers. I sure hope it was an "error."
Whenever I put my couch that far back my sim always stands in front of the TV instead 😂
I can definitely recognise Myshunosun’s handiwork in this kit. It’s inspired by the 60s and 70s. Looks really cool!
I hate the pillows and should have been separate. For 10 dollars they should have had bedroom set, kitchen set and study set.
This kit actually sucks low key
And it’s not $10. It’s 499 for a kit.
Got them both for €4.99 as soon as you mentioned it, before they change their mind haha. I'm in Belgium. Literally quit my game to get them. If they were double the price I would have waited to get them discounted on Kinguin.
The $10 is a glitch. EA is going to refund the difference.
I don’t play the Sims enough to justify buying kits, but this one I kinda like it almost as much as I liked the pastel pop kit. I did buy the book nook kit because I’m a sucker 😂😂
I like your styled room. You should upload it
We are in dire need of new washers and dryers for TS4. I don't understand why we haven't gotten any yet?
bc then it defeats the purpose of the laundry day pack. not defending it, i agree with you, but that’s probably the reason
@@sammyiassume ahh, I didn't even think of that. That makes sense.
The sofa set is perfection.
I wanted these kits but I'm not paying the price of a stuff pack for them. That's riddiculous
Literally just get some of myshunosun’s CC instead
It was a mistake it changed
@@alzbetal1499 I have all of it 😅 my mod folder is riddiculous
@@yellow-perse thanks. I thought that might have been the case when I got to the point on the video when he says the price is the same in euros
Oh my gosh, the couches actually look comfortable. Most of the other couches in the game are terrible for cozy family homes.
Textures look better than the other creator kit, but what’s up with the round items having corners?
The colors are unfortunate, too. Making better colors and making the round objects actually round would make the kit so much better.

Finally, a decently sized round table!
mine were only $4.99 USD, which is the same as other kits i've purchased. i'm not sure why different people are getting different prices!!!
This makes me even more excited for InZoi to come out
There are some good stuff in it but the quality control is also a EA problem in their own pack.

Hi, guys. Nice to see you again! Thank you for the video
Kitch sounds just like the beginning of kitchen =) And it looks like a fun pack fingers 🤞 And it basically means like a shaby country look....
this kit works well in the loft studio im building. i love it, and can see myself using it a lot!
For the price of it, they could make more versatile and functional objects. Blinds that you can open and close, closets that can hold things and books, modular sofas...
I already love it. I love the 70's-80's

It's a nice kit it's a shame it was limited by ea
Love the apples.
How funny to think that if a cc creator didn't help EA with a kit, we'd be stuck in wooden-armed sofa purgatory
in Poland the price has not changed and is the same as all other kits
It would be so clutch if they came out with an additional kit (to go with this of course), on patreon.
9:03 omg that's me
Am I the only one missing Styled Looks (clothes) from the grim pack???
They were 4.99 USD. Not sure the exchange rate exactly but it does seem like the UK is being double charged
Omg do the books slot to the inside of the fireplace??? As someone who lives in nyc with a nonfunctional fireplace mantel I will use this all the time in my city builds!!!!
Yup, cuz this is a decorative fireplace
I’ve just got this set mine was 4.99 and I’m in the UK
i also thought of friends!
It would've been interesting if EA had let you in the Creator Network as a compensation for that price thingy. 😅
I wish they would make more green furniture. Maybe just do a whole rainbow. Edit: Just realized that muddy color was green. I was so confused. I thought it was a weird grey.
when I tell you I didn't even know new kits were happening until after they came out...
At $10 it really should be double the content, but in my area the price is $4.99. Just in case maybe make sure the $10 is not a error?
The furniture is nice but some objects are just filler, why put a light switch and plain shelves in this kit? The fireplace is just a recolor from basegame.
The couch and small decorations are good.
In Sweden it's 59,00kr (swedish kronor) which is 4 £, 5 $ (US) 5 €. And all the kits cost the same.
Dang I should have watched you first. I just bought it. The kits sometimes be cute but boring. I wish the apple bowls you can actually eat these and fill them ...
I feel like these would be fine if they are released in pairs, each costing the price of half an EA kit.
It's $4.99 in the U.S....
Ummm there must be a mistake. I bought the kits too, and they were only £4.99 each. I’m in the UK too
Maybe I'm reaching but I think they wanted to sell them at a higher price but got too much pushback and decided to lower the price to that of other kits
My question is this... Does the creator get a percentage of the sales of the kit they created for EA? If not, they damned well should since they did all the work!
Was this even announced??
I had no idea they were coming out with a kit today.
I’m honestly shocked
yes it was

Ill play sims again if there is cars expansion
I love u satchhh
This looks so much like my IKEA/danish design furniture home in Denmark 🤣
Its 5 euro in the Netherlands
I feel like simply downloading kits and stuff have made Sims so lazy. Back in the day we would go to Toys R Us and buy a cd rom and would get shit loads
Kits were there normal price here in the US. I'd request my momey back on that UK cost.
That’s weird, I bought both the new kits today and I paid 5 bucks for each. Strange!
I don't support EA but this kit is just my style
In Poland is 19,90 PLN so its less than 4£
I'm from poland and the price for me is around 4.60€. And some kits are 4.60 and some 5.76 i just noticed. Idk why 🤷🏼♀️
I’m pretty sure the price thing is a glitch and they are £4.99
Hmm, it's 4.99 I just checked (in Hungary)
Both of the kits are still $5 in the US.
Green = Boughton Drab
In Germany this kit cost 4.99€ like the other kits. I don´t know if it´s just in the UK?
It’s £4.99 I’ve just bought it
In the US it's $4.99
I will stay with my free cc!
Its 4.99 euros in Croatia
They’re charging more to make the proper payout to the creator cus they can’t pay them as little as their normal staff😢
So we’re taking something that normally costs £5, outsourcing the work to people that usually do this for free (with patreon support) and doubling the price to the same cost as stuff packs. But they’re not offering as much as a stuff kit. Yep I’ll be skipping this one.
My CC doesn’t work in my game anymore so I guess I’ll be buying kits till it do lol 😊
My mods folder doesen't work either. All the files are there but they don't show up in the game! I have never had this problem before. 😟

And, that there are so few neutral color hair accessories.
How much do you guys bet that that is the EA plan - that and the CONSTANT updates.
I hate the color green too, lol.
5 dollars in the US rn. Weird. Yea, that's way too much at 10.
What?? They're the same price as the other ones here. What's going on
I guess it's double the price because half is for creator, other half for EA LOL
