Another thing I think is really missing is how can they make a japanese world and not add a second tea maker?! Maybe inspired by tea ceremony on a little bamboo tray or something. We got like 10 coffee machines and a single tea maker which isn't really pretty..
I wanna make a tea house. I wanna make a tea house so bad! A restaurant that just serves tea and light snacks! Edit: Thanks so much for all the support! my originID is tashanalew879, I look forward to doing my best with the tea house!
The items are totally amazing and droolworthy. I have to say though, there are two huge missed opportunities. One is a traditional futon bed which would be brilliant as an alternative to murphy beds. Also I really don't get why we needed more western type beds. The other thing is the tub. While it is gorgeous, something you literally see everywhere in Japan are tiny soaker tubs (also combined with showers). A 1-tile-tub would have been something new and very japanese where space saving furniture is a huge thing.. So yes I love the items but I feel they missed a few huge opportunities to add very typical things that would have tied in perfectly with tiny living.
I agree with these! I'd also love a low dining table with floor cushions that wasn't a kotatsu! That being said all those items would likely require new animations and therefor a lot more work to develop. I think that's likely the reason we didn't get them
I can't believe no one is talking about the lily pads that are coming with the pack. If you put them in water, there are KOI FISH that swim around underneath them! So no more dead fountains, dead ponds, etc!!!
Hello. Thank you for posting free entertainment. Not many people think about it, but without people like you, we would be dying of boredom. Again, Thank you. :)
I screamed when editing Tonya told us about the ability to toggle shoes off because that's the one thing that's gonna make my simself feel more me in game!!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS PACK!!!!! 😍😭❤️ I minored in Japanese studies in university and lived in a small town in Japan for one summer, and so seeing the items in this pack makes me so happy and nostalgic! ❤️ I’m glad they actually put thought into these items and the new features, and I can’t wait to see more Asian style sim builds!!!! The bar items look like they’re modeled after “Izakaya” style bars (young people in Japan hang out in them for social gatherings or to find a date)! The sand circles and outdoor stones/sculptures are for zen gardens and shrines! VENDING MACHINES!! I’m the most excited for the curved red bridge in the debug menu!!!!! 😍😭❤️
I LOVE how you added debug items into this. Becuase a lot of times i dont know where sims builders get all these debug items. Plus, i play on console so i rely on debug items to give my house a little more flare
Kinda disappointed that there aren't any futons since this is a japanese inspired pack. And no high windows like those base game full wall height windows. But oh well something is is something. I guess I'll keeping using the cc windows I recolored
Omg that second swatch from the mailbox kinda reminded me of Totoro! 😍 I think this pack and eco lifestyle are the best packs the Sims team ever made. There's so much thought put into and it just feels complete! I don't miss anything at all in this pack, neither game play wise nor building wise 😊
Ironic that the Snowy Escape embargo lifted the same day that we got our first snow fall here. So While it was snowy outside I got to watch all these snowy escape videos... but only its not an escape for me :p I enjoy your build/buy overview scine you are a builder.
Love this pack soooo much! I watched the livestream and at one point they mentioned that because of the height limitations platforms can create, you can actually make spaces that are not very tall and only children or toddlers can enter due to their shorter heights! Excited for that possibility. Doesn't that mean you can now make tiny homes that have short height loft bedrooms up above for kids using the platforms and the kids can climb up using ladders?
I lost my shit at the item slots on the lower shelves in the counters, omg. And you’re right, we totally need those plants as separate items, why in the world don’t they have those??
Not only are those big, plain windows square, but there are square doorways and half-of-a-square-shaped windows and doors, so they all work together and look very balanced. The doorway/open doors thing would be great between rooms or maybe even as a garage door.
When you showed the snowman swatch (on the poster thing) i made exactly the same noise. So funny haha. Sorry for my english its my second language 👉👈. Love you btw.💖💖
I haven't played the game in over 3 years, and I'm finally really excited over getting my hands on this! I think almost every pack enriches the game, but this one is it for me.
So good to see another outdoor toilet/bush. And I agree this one will be much more useful than the others (that said, I use the Jungle Adventure one in so many builds as it is, and rags to riches gameplay)
You can use the large door for a living room or a dining area besides your backyard, its nice to have a large opening looking at your backyard garden while eating at your dining table 💓
I have seen so many like people saying how much they wanted conversation pits and I bet they are excited for the platforms. I literally wanna make one just cuz I can xD
one thing I would go nuts for is a combo toilet/sink. theyre fairly common in japan and theyd be life changing for tiny builds and for ecohomes. (the idea is that the water you use to wash your hands fills the toilet tank and gets reused to flush the toilet instead of just disappearing down the drain)
As I builder, I can't wait for platforms but we should be able to have them 'floating' so we can place things or even have sims walk underneath them. But they're going to be great for creating usable mezzanines.
I’m so impressed by the textures in this pack! It’s a big part of the pack immersion for me. I hope they include this kind of detail in everything from now on 🥰
Wow! This pack looks stunning! Loving the build items. If I could have one wish though, I would love just one cushion... just a cushion with some different swatch colours so we could place it wherever we want 😊
Really well done showing of all the new build items in the pack. I'm disappointed that there aren't any micro-apartments or a capsule hotel, though! I guess that's hard to do when they haven't given us hotels or the ability to build apartments yet!
I’m just going to be honest my favorite fridge is the on from Jungle Adventure. The colors that fridge has is super awesome. Now this fridge it’s ok maybe I will grow to like it.
I'm super excited about this pack! So much new stuff and it looks great for building... I'm also eager to see some gameplay. This might be one of the few packs I get soon after release if the reviews sound good! Oh, btw, I agree with all of your impressions (so many and such agreements, this stuff is so cute and distinctive and platforms look super versatile), but I wanted to add that the cute town mascot made me think of a segment John Oliver did on Last Week Tonight, quite a while ago now, involving an otter. I highly recommend it if you've never seen it before; it's pretty amusing and you can probably find the segment on UA-cam. Shinjo-kun is the official city mascot, Chiitan is an unofficial one, and Chiijohn is the mascot their show created. I'm hoping (I think they showed us in the trailer but I can't remember for certain) that, on top of the new cold-weather wear, we also get a new costume like that! XD
I'm soooo into this pack! I love asian culture and I'm very exited to get more asian inspired stuff and gameplay into the Sims! I've never been so happy about a pack before as for this one
Felixandre just made some amazing Japanese CC, take a look if your into that sort of thing. I think EA did a great job with the world, ill certainly buy it but I buy every single update. Not in love with the buy items but there is a lot there. I love the Princess Cordilla stuff, I wish they would do something else along those lines, something a bit dated.
I haven't even started watching but already like this, haha. Is it just me, or did you get super early access this time? Feels like game changer content normally only comes out a few days before release. I'm definitely not complaining though! :-D
also if we got that green maskot thing a costume then why didn't we got the Wabbit costume back then? that Wabbit bunny is also a Sims maskot, and it's the real one!!! no hate just asking
Another thing I think is really missing is how can they make a japanese world and not add a second tea maker?! Maybe inspired by tea ceremony on a little bamboo tray or something. We got like 10 coffee machines and a single tea maker which isn't really pretty..
yes! omg
Yes 😭 you are so right
exactly what i was thinking, theres already tea related items but no new tea maker
Seeing one of the posters, a matcha set could have been really cute!
Also we need tea that is Just A Nice Drink, not tied to weird emotion buffs
don’t understand how excited i was just to see the bed has normal swatches
Same! 💜💜
imagine it was folding bed instead
I wanna make a tea house. I wanna make a tea house so bad! A restaurant that just serves tea and light snacks!
Edit: Thanks so much for all the support! my originID is tashanalew879, I look forward to doing my best with the tea house!
Yesss!!! Let me know when you do I’d love to download that! :)
Whats your origin ID ? I'd love to download this too !!!! I can't believe I didn't think of that, it's such a great idea !
@@sandrineouellet3794 Thank you! It's tashanalew879
YES
That is a amazing idea!! I wish you luck!! I am sure will be awesome! 😄
The items are totally amazing and droolworthy. I have to say though, there are two huge missed opportunities. One is a traditional futon bed which would be brilliant as an alternative to murphy beds.

So yes I love the items but I feel they missed a few huge opportunities to add very typical things that would have tied in perfectly with tiny living.
Yess I was wondering about futons
If they do that, people will whine "I need to refund Tiny Living stuff"
I agree with these! I'd also love a low dining table with floor cushions that wasn't a kotatsu! That being said all those items would likely require new animations and therefor a lot more work to develop. I think that's likely the reason we didn't get them
It's only just occurred to me we didn't get proper low Japanese beds
Can’t wait for modders to separate the clutter lol!
Always!! Ahah
Got a new Chemistry Set, now we need more playground equipment in general
I can't believe no one is talking about the lily pads that are coming with the pack. If you put them in water, there are KOI FISH that swim around underneath them! So no more dead fountains, dead ponds, etc!!!
Second
Also, the fences come with MATCHING gates??
yesss
@@Gryphi OH MY GAWDD
And railings!?!?!!!???
This was going to be my comment haha, I know what I'm excited for in this pack
Hello.
Thank you for posting free entertainment. Not many people think about it, but without people like you, we would be dying of boredom. Again, Thank you. :)
I screamed when editing Tonya told us about the ability to toggle shoes off because that's the one thing that's gonna make my simself feel more me in game!!
Yup. We never wear shoes on our house.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS PACK!!!!! 😍😭❤️ I minored in Japanese studies in university and lived in a small town in Japan for one summer, and so seeing the items in this pack makes me so happy and nostalgic! ❤️ I’m glad they actually put thought into these items and the new features, and I can’t wait to see more Asian style sim builds!!!!

The sand circles and outdoor stones/sculptures are for zen gardens and shrines! VENDING MACHINES!! I’m the most excited for the curved red bridge in the debug menu!!!!! 😍😭❤️
I agree we don’t need another activity table, but I am very glad we got this one. I like that it’s so neutral. I like the less ‘in your face’ style.
I LOVE how you added debug items into this. Becuase a lot of times i dont know where sims builders get all these debug items. Plus, i play on console so i rely on debug items to give my house a little more flare
I literally just finished watching vixella and Clare Siobhan’s review on the items but I’m so hyped for this pack that I’m gonna watch them all 😂
Me too I think it could be one of the best
Kinda disappointed that there aren't any futons since this is a japanese inspired pack. And no high windows like those base game full wall height windows.
But oh well something is is something. I guess I'll keeping using the cc windows I recolored
I thought the same thing!! I’m also pretty upset that there is no new tattoos
@@devon_o_mon yeah. I don't know if there will be controversy with this. But imagine yakuza tattoos
I wish there was some futons :/
@@E.M.99. there is cc but it's half broken 😔
Futons would have been a really nice touch.
All we need now is lofts(like platforms with rooms underneath)
yes please!
“Plus debug" I feel seen by you. You get where I’m coming from. You know what I need. ALL THE IN GAME ASSETS, EVERY SINGLE ONE😂
Omg that second swatch from the mailbox kinda reminded me of Totoro! 😍 I think this pack and eco lifestyle are the best packs the Sims team ever made. There's so much thought put into and it just feels complete! I don't miss anything at all in this pack, neither game play wise nor building wise 😊
There are so many amazing swatches!!! I love how usable all the options are. I would love if more of the packs had this amount of versatility.
I'm crying!!! This is soooooo pretty!!!
Ironic that the Snowy Escape embargo lifted the same day that we got our first snow fall here. So While it was snowy outside I got to watch all these snowy escape videos... but only its not an escape for me :p
I enjoy your build/buy overview scine you are a builder.
Thanks so much! and same here - it snowed yesterday ❤
Love this pack soooo much! I watched the livestream and at one point they mentioned that because of the height limitations platforms can create, you can actually make spaces that are not very tall and only children or toddlers can enter due to their shorter heights! Excited for that possibility. Doesn't that mean you can now make tiny homes that have short height loft bedrooms up above for kids using the platforms and the kids can climb up using ladders?
I could cry about that short modern window. I feel you :) Thanks for showing off all the stuff! I am so excited to get my hands on it!!!!!!
Tonya: There's this tree......its a nice tree.
Me: Dying LOL
I lost my shit at the item slots on the lower shelves in the counters, omg. And you’re right, we totally need those plants as separate items, why in the world don’t they have those??
Everything is so cute, I need that pack right now! Can't wait to see what you're gonna build with all of these!
Not only are those big, plain windows square, but there are square doorways and half-of-a-square-shaped windows and doors, so they all work together and look very balanced. The doorway/open doors thing would be great between rooms or maybe even as a garage door.
I love literally everything about this pack. I LOVE Japan and Japanese homes. I can't wait for this to come out!
When you showed the snowman swatch (on the poster thing) i made exactly the same noise. So funny haha. Sorry for my english its my second language 👉👈. Love you btw.💖💖
Your English is perfect! 💕
@@Catherine_Anne Thank you💖
Two videos in one day 😳 ❤️
yes! special day ❤️
this really might be my favorite pack 😭😭 i dont even play the sims but i’d buy this
The stuff that is hanging on the mountain hangers is climbing gear: rope, chalk bag, etc.
I’m so excited for this pack!! I already have a storyline planned for my sims!!
I haven't played the game in over 3 years, and I'm finally really excited over getting my hands on this! I think almost every pack enriches the game, but this one is it for me.
I am so happy you got early access!!
So good to see another outdoor toilet/bush. And I agree this one will be much more useful than the others (that said, I use the Jungle Adventure one in so many builds as it is, and rags to riches gameplay)
This looks so similar to cc and I'm here for it
You can use the large door for a living room or a dining area besides your backyard, its nice to have a large opening looking at your backyard garden while eating at your dining table 💓
I feel like you missed a good "that's a nice boulder" moment. Thanks for showing debug!
haha I DID miss that oh noo. 😂
I have seen so many like people saying how much they wanted conversation pits and I bet they are excited for the platforms. I literally wanna make one just cuz I can xD
the white kittymask looks like one from a movie where a girl turns to a cat but swapping her face with the kitty mask
This is going on top on my tier list for sure.
The mats make me want to make a Dojo. We should get martial arts and katanas next.
Exactly. That would be great.
one thing I would go nuts for is a combo toilet/sink. theyre fairly common in japan and theyd be life changing for tiny builds and for ecohomes. (the idea is that the water you use to wash your hands fills the toilet tank and gets reused to flush the toilet instead of just disappearing down the drain)
I NEED THIS IN THE SIMS. Ugh I wish we got that!
As I builder, I can't wait for platforms but we should be able to have them 'floating' so we can place things or even have sims walk underneath them. But they're going to be great for creating usable mezzanines.
Everything is so gorgeous, I want this pack already 😭
A wooden bicycle like the one’s I’ve seen online while looking up a few famous temples would have been so cool
I’m so impressed by the textures in this pack! It’s a big part of the pack immersion for me. I hope they include this kind of detail in everything from now on 🥰
I hope so too!
I’m so excite for the counters and stove. And I’m soooo happy they insluded a plain black and white color for the stove!
Yesss! We love simple swatches!
Favourite pack for build/buy ever. 😍
So glad you got a sneak peek. Great job showing it off. Enjoy
Ugh, this gorgeous pack comes out and I can’t afford it because I just got laid off😭😭😭😭 one day, though... one day
I love the build/buy. It's so my style. Minimalistic and beautiful.
Thank you so much for showing us all the items! I am SUPER excited for this pack
Wow! This pack looks stunning! Loving the build items. If I could have one wish though, I would love just one cushion... just a cushion with some different swatch colours so we could place it wherever we want 😊
FIRST PERSON IVE HEARD PRONOUNCE MT KOMOREBI CORRECTLY BLESS YOUR SOUL TONYA
ah so glad I've been saying it alright!
Those stairs, railings and fences are already so wonderful, that I am doing the Kermit Flail in the beginning of your video.
Really well done showing of all the new build items in the pack.
I'm disappointed that there aren't any micro-apartments or a capsule hotel, though! I guess that's hard to do when they haven't given us hotels or the ability to build apartments yet!
Those Fishy Flags that would cool to use for some kind of fun Sushi restaurant.
I’m just going to be honest my favorite fridge is the on from Jungle Adventure. The colors that fridge has is super awesome. Now this fridge it’s ok maybe I will grow to like it.
'Rain chain to drain the rain'
Say that quickly 5 times 😅
I'm super excited about this pack! So much new stuff and it looks great for building... I'm also eager to see some gameplay.

I am so excited for those spandrels in combination with the platforms!
This is so good I might cry, all these cute items and modern neutral ones! ahhhh
this video is amazing, thank you! Can you do this for each pack that gets released? It's so helpful in deciding which packs to get.
I don't think there is a single build&buy item in this pack that I don't like. Such cool stuff.
Amazing pack!! One of my favorite, maybe?
PS: Love your voice!
I hope the ability to toggle taking shoes off is added to the base game, that’s what I’m most excited about!
i am dying over the platform tool
I just watched the game play demo. I am in love
I'm soooo into this pack! I love asian culture and I'm very exited to get more asian inspired stuff and gameplay into the Sims! I've never been so happy about a pack before as for this one
Yay! It's looking so good - can't wait for November 13th!

Not in love with the buy items but there is a lot there. I love the Princess Cordilla stuff, I wish they would do something else along those lines, something a bit dated.
I love this but I was hoping for futons as a new bed
Didn't expect this- ❤
I am SO EXCITED to get this pack!!! I love all the stuff I have seen so far! Eeeeee!! 😬
I can’t wait for your builds!!
i LOVE this and am very excited for this new pack. thanks for making this vid for us!
Good job and thank you! The first thing I'm going to build with this pack is a Jinja! I'm so happy ^___^.
i’m so excited i’m going to buy this pack no one can stop me
IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL I HAVE PREORDERED IT
Thank you for this compilation video. Much appreciated!
the general consensus with everyone who has reviewed this pack is that, quite simply, it's just pretty
I’m so excited for this pack! Thank you for the video!
Would love to see you do another tiny modern sculptural house inspired by the swan statue
Debug at 31:05, the part I've been waiting for.
Hi Tonya! Can you elaborate if platforms can be built right next to and/or inside pools? 😊 also, yay plate stacks!
THAT COUNTERS
These are all AMAZING and I am definitely getting this pack
I haven't even started watching but already like this, haha. Is it just me, or did you get super early access this time? Feels like game changer content normally only comes out a few days before release. I'm definitely not complaining though! :-D
PS - That cat wallpaper is everything. All my Sims are getting that in their bathroom whether it suits them or not, haha.
I was thinking the same
This pack look sooo beautiful!!
i’m hoping for this pack to come on sale in the ongoing christmas sales! i cant wait to get it if it does, i absolutely love the Japanese style
Was so excited for a new dog/cat door, but it was just the low placed window XD
That one plant with the big pot. I kinda wish that was a cute trash can
First time in forever that I'm looking forward to a sims 4 expansion ☺️
(I'll make the house from Ranma 1/2 because I'm a huge nerd)
also if we got that green maskot thing a costume then why didn't we got the Wabbit costume back then? that Wabbit bunny is also a Sims maskot, and it's the real one!!!
no hate just asking
Yay! Double upload!
24:50 this reminds me of an item in animal crossing
YES I KEPT THINKING THAT
Are you sure you didn't download custom content
Are you saying that as an insult to ea or a complement. I cannot tell
Thank you for showing I can't wait !!
YEEES japanese interior is minimalistic in design i knew the build items are going to be good
