The only thing that is missing out of the Book Nook kit is a library ladder for when you make those extra tall book cases. Maybe different sizes that have have some empty slots for decorations.
@@piperbird7193 You may not even need a full second story! If you make a tall enough platform and kinda merge the bookcases into it, then add more books on top of the platform, then you can add a ladder and I’m betting it could still work!
@@ragnkja Even if you assume that it's not so cold that the ears have to be covered, the hats in the sims 4 still sit too high on the head. It looks like they're about to pop off and fall.
I wish they would bundle the kits like 2 for $8 or 3 for $12 or something bc for one pack it’s too pricey. Also for the pricy I want a lot more of basic swatches.
@@fruity4820 I bought the pastel pop kit and that definitely felt worthy of the 5$ pricetag for me but you're right about most not being that high in production value
I wish they'd let us bundle them even if there was no discount (although I really wish we could get a discount for bundling because you're right, they're pricey.) I don't want to buy them individually even if I was just getting two and also they had this feature in Origin (no discount sadly) so I'm betting they won't add it to the EA App either because people won't buy if they realize how fast they add up or else it's too complicated to code into the EA app which is kinda stupid if so. If they just gave a discount for buying multiple like you suggested though I'm pretty sure people would be more willing to buy them in general! 3 mix and match for $12 dollars is definitely comparable to a Stuff Pack plus if you only care about CAS or you only care about Build/Buy then you get more bang for your buck! I'm also so irritated that we can't bundle a kit in place of a Stuff Pack! I was foolish and a bit crazy so I got all of the Stuff Packs at one point (well, I bought a lot and then the rest through bundling); now I can't do the Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack custom bundles anymore because Kits aren't an option! I just assumed they'd always be making Stuff Packs; I had no idea they'd replace them with Kits and then refuse to add them in the big bundles.
I really wish the modular bookshelves had all the same swatches as the dream home decorator modular furniture, it would’ve been so cool to put them together 🥲
Honestly I wish all packs kits etc had a matching swatch (not just white and black), say two wood tones that are universal throughout every single pack and then two or three that are unique to that pack.
Wood items are always hard to match. It really gets on my nerves. And also, some of good doors that are available for the short wall are not available for the medium and tall walls.
I would kill for them to do a wallpaper kit next. I know that seems boring but we need more neutrals beyond one beige one grey! I want muted pinks and greens and browns! That and more bed swatches. Bedrooms are so hard for me because every bed has patterned sheets
I'm so excited about the rainbow organized bookshelves. I'm a huge reader irl and I know it's like a THING to do rainbow organization. I know so many readers (including myself) that organize like that. It's such a small detail but I'm like overly excited to have my sims organize their book shelves the same way i do.
@Evelyn Berry Whereas I’m from northern Norway, and it looks _really_ weird to me, like they’re wearing the hats indoors as a costume rather than as functional winter outdoor garments.
The grunge kit is so much of my middle school wardrobe and I’m here for it. And my nail polish was always chipped. I owned those sunglasses and the necklaces. This is a CAS kit I need.
The book nook set is cute, but I really wish there was a library ladder you could attach to the book shelf. Doesn't have to be functional, but that would be so cool
I don't care so much for the coffee table, but for the side tables I absolutely love that they have differnt book swatches with the same wood tone so you can have two matching side tables with slightly different book stacks
Absolutely stoked about the different coloured books in the shelves - I’m so sick of my libraries/studies/offices having a wall of bookshelves with just the same books over and over and over….
@@tungstensmum1491 Ugg, I know! I always make librarys so small or weirdly arranged to avoid this, or I just don't include more than one or two of the same bookshelf
I actually bought both kits today. It's my first time buying a CAS kit but I really love the grunge aesthetic and I wanted the book nook kit the moment I heard the words "modular shelves" lol. I wish they cost less but I honestly love the content in these ones.
Kayla wanting more stuff like this kit just made me think of a expansion pack based on books. It could have jobs like librarian, historian, publisher and tutor.There could be book cafés, tutoring, spaces,etc. And of course a lot of cute, simple and cozy cast and build items. Now I need it😭
As a rock music fan, I feel like they've never seen anything grunge - that kit is laughable to me. As a bookworm though, the book nook kit is a dream come true!
i felt like the description of “grunge comeback” rather than grunge itself makes a lot more sense considering grunge isn’t just one thing depending on region/time/particular bands. this is what ppl born after grunge would wear nowadays
If they keep up this level of quality and versatility with kits I honestly won't mind us getting one or two every roadmap. They're such nice, small, niche additions to your game without spending *too* much money.
The grunge revival kit is probably the first kit I’d even consider buying- Yes, the style is similar to the werewolves CAS (I mean, duh, they’re both based on grungy styles, they’re gonna look similar), but the textures look super cool and genuinely quite good, and it’s all stuff I could consistently use Im not sure if I *will* buy the kit, cause I *hhaattteee* the idea of paying £5 for just a few CAS pieces, but this is the closest I’ve got to considering it
Same, I think that if they made a bundle this would be one of the ones is like to add to my game, some of these have items I would use but I wouldn't justify that much money on something so small in a game, hopefully they create some sort of bundle soon because I am missing out for 🤼♂️
omg the top at 5:54 actually looks like an outfit i wear all the time in the winter... i'm so glad to find more clothes that look like my kind of thing without having to hunt for so much cc !! also the black chipped nail polish is literally my own nails rn, finally representation!!!
oh i am in love with the cas kit! it's pretty much exactly my clothes style, like that flannel shirt with demin jacket over i wear on a regular basis! i feel like this would be so good for nerdy, gamer and/or neurodivergent sims who prefer comfort over fashion! also those drawn on trainers would be perfect for rebellious teens. am also in love with the book kit, all the soft edges and warm neutrals and wood tones give me so many cosy vibes. it's exactly the style of one of my ocs, who also just so happens to love reading, so i'm definitely gonna take inspo from these items when designing the interior of her apartment! it's giving huddling inside on a warm winters night surrounded by soft blankets, stacks of books and many many houseplants with evermore by taylor swift playing in the background, and honestly i am so here for that.
This whole comment resonated deep in my soul I swear HAHAH literally the warm book vintage-y rainy day aesthetic and evermore and grunge-y clothes? I feel so seen
i like book nook but my reaction to every single item in the grudge revival was “oh i have a cc of that already” or “the cc for those is better” especially in terms of the makeup, oversized clothes, nails, and backpacks
I'm originally from the Seattle area, and the grunge kit gives me 90s vibes...and I love it. The book nook kit is also really cool. I have way too many ideas for a grunge rock/bookworm loft right now!
I got book nook immediately just because the stuff looks so cute and cozy! i'm not a builder but i'm so excited to use the stuff. also the grunge revival clothes look so... nice? the actual textures are so nice. EA stepping up fr
I hope Simsie makes a wizardy room using this and Realm of Magic like she suggested! Contemporary, messy, eclectic coloured room for a sim that matches would be so fun! ✨💖🎇 Also I really like the Book Nook kit, I wish the items had more swatches. We've demanded neutrals for so long so it's good to have them but I feel like they just went "they want neutrals? here, it's all they get", so a few different colours alongside the wood tones would have made this kit a 10/10 for me. Especially for the rug, pale neutral colours would have made it my fave rug.
the grunge revival kit is all the type of stuff i normally end up downloading CC for because there's just not enough like it! I'm excited. I had a chipped polish CC that I lost and couldn't find again so I'm so happy about this
I don't have the Sims installed on my pc right now, but once I free up space for it again, the grunge kit might be the first kit I buy. It could be better still, but the clothes are cool and for once look like they'll lay decently on larger sims or sims with custom frame like trans sims for example.
The book nook kit is PERFECT and came out in the perfect time as My pink sim (not so berry/ the author) just moved into her own house so i can make her her own lil library and have books everywhere.
I buy every new kit trough steam and I never have had any problems! Also love both kits honestly! Thank you for always making these videos it is SO helpful !
i ADORE that crewneck with the long sleeves! i like CAS a lot and this is one of the only kits i’ve ever actually wanted to get. the clothes are very human and not so crazy and scenario specific.
I'd love to see a series where you use each item from a kit/pack in a build! I've been doing that every time I get a new one and it's a really great way to get familiar with the new items!
I think the only critique I would have for the Book Nook kit is that the couch looks A LOT like the Paranormal Stuff couch. Which is probably the best couch in the game, but I prefer when kits have ridiculously specific stuff, like a couch made out of books or something like that.
I love how she says "sorry for the rain outside" but mother nature is helping with the vibes. I mean don't people love reading in a cozy place with tea/coffee when it's raining outside?
Thanks so much for you video with a complete breakdown on the 2 new Kits. I am a mix of both. I love to spend time in CAS creating my Sims style to match their personality. Then after I find a lot, I spend more time customizing the house/apartment to the Sim's style 🙂
Am I the only one realising that the little lamp is basically the same one than the plant lamp from the plants kit ? The blooming room kit, not the greenhouse kit.
Hi 👋 Just so you know: Ive been using your videos to narrow down my choices further after i had already narrowed down my shopping cart (theyre all sims packs by the way lol) by a couple hundred dollars (i used to be xbox player and now im switching to PC so i have to rebuy all my packs😢) I had booted the grunge kit but after your review im seriously debating it again😂❤ The booknook one was non-negotiable for me, an absolute must have, but your video super-sold it for me! Thank you for your great videos, im new to subbing you byt your content looks super awesome and i cant wait to binge watch it all!😂❤ stay well!
Love love love your videos!! It would be super helpful if you could create a review playlist, so people could see all your kit reviews in one place for buying!! I like the detail you go into when you review, and would never buy a kit/pack/expansion without your reviews! 😊 The book nook kit, your right, looks amazing 😍
I really like that you can put the same wood but with different books next to each other. That way it doesn't look like there is a copy machine putting the bookshelving up. I suspect I'll use these bookshelves more than any of the other ones. I'm so glad they've given us a couple of cozy couches. Now my Sim doesn't have to have a specific job to get a cozy couch. There isn't anything in the kit I don't like. I was so excited about it so as soon as I could, I bought it.
I find it hilarious how the random sim Kayla used in CAS to see the kit is a sim I have in my sims family so it feels like she's playing with my own sim 😭 I literally get to see my sim wearing clothes from a kit I don't own for free 😍
I was so stoked for the grunge kit! I have a house hold with a teenage daughter and before this kit, I gave her a "rock" vibe. So this kit really helped with the style I originally created for her.
8:40 yes exactly THIS I think for me the problem is that the hats never cover the ears, they're always above. Basically they sit on top of the head but don't cover it
I got the grunge one yesterday but purposely waited until I saw your review to decide on if I want the book one. Now, I'm totally sold! I especially love the modular bookcase around the window and the book tray with the (candle?) I love that everything is pretty neutral too. Thanks for breaking all these down!
I like both packs. The content looks great in both of them. I'm glad I watched this video to see a breakdown of all the content and I like some of the creations you made for the book configurations.
I remember those tiny backpacks! I can't remember what year that was. I had a few. This is a Millenial highschool throwback CAS pack. I love the book nook though. Happiness is buying bookcases and filling them up with books.
Love the book nook kit! I just wish it had sommmme more color. It’s nice to have some neutrals but the maximalist in me wants at least a few patterns or jewel tones
I really like these kits! I've been wanting more CAS stuff like that. The Book nook looks nice even though I wish there were more swatches, and I love the couches.
I really wanna see a jacket/coat/cardigan category that can go on top of shirts like the tank
That would open up so many customization options
Was literally thinking this when I was playing yesterday 🤣
YES that is just a need
@@pallymorrison9249 samee lmao
If they do this, let's hope its in an update
The only thing that is missing out of the Book Nook kit is a library ladder for when you make those extra tall book cases. Maybe different sizes that have have some empty slots for decorations.
Octave - Part Four by Harrie has a ladder attached to her book cases.
I wonder if you can cheat one using a ladder and a second story of book cases. Now I need to play, I have too many ideas.
WOW I DIDN’T EVEN THINK OF THAT BUT YOU’RE RIGHT that would have been so cool

The problem with hats in this game is that they sit too high on the head. Beanies usually go over at least part of the ear
In my climate they need to cover the whole ear, because we get winters here.
Just commented this without seeing your comment. :)
@@ragnkjasame here. I dislike most winter hats in the Sims 4. I think one (possibly from cats & dogs) is the only one with the ears covered.
@@sirromap1021 Exactly, and it's got a puppy face on it. I like it, but not every Sim who needs warm clothing is going to vibe with a puppy face.

Ohhh I was wondering what was so off about it! That makes so much more sense!
can you IMAGINE the fun we'd have with these bookshelves if they added swatches that match the dream home decorator ones 😭
libraries will be changed forever with this kit omg
Do you also feel like every time Kayla checks out a new kit she says “omg I’m gonna use this all the time” and then we never see her use it again?
Yeah, be a lot cooler if she would just build based on her creativity and not trying to please her followers from the gallery.
They finally made an end table that you can duplicate and not have the same books!!!

Just so you know: Ive been using your videos to narrow down my choices further after i had already narrowed down my shopping cart (theyre all sims packs by the way lol) by a couple hundred dollars (i used to be xbox player and now im switching to PC so i have to rebuy all my packs😢)
I had booted the grunge kit but after your review im seriously debating it again😂❤
The booknook one was non-negotiable for me, an absolute must have, but your video super-sold it for me!
Thank you for your great videos, im new to subbing you byt your content looks super awesome and i cant wait to binge watch it all!😂❤ stay well!
Kayla pleeeease do a build inspired by Snap!!! No pack restrictions and the cat cam is also a must!!!! ❤❤❤
Love love love your videos!!
It would be super helpful if you could create a review playlist, so people could see all your kit reviews in one place for buying!!
I like the detail you go into when you review, and would never buy a kit/pack/expansion without your reviews! 😊
The book nook kit, your right, looks amazing 😍
I actually find it very realistic how plain swatches of clothing are much harder to find even though they are the most basic thing we could ask for
Plain aren’t hard to find though if you know where to look..? 😅
I really like that you can put the same wood but with different books next to each other. That way it doesn't look like there is a copy machine putting the bookshelving up. I suspect I'll use these bookshelves more than any of the other ones.
I'm so glad they've given us a couple of cozy couches. Now my Sim doesn't have to have a specific job to get a cozy couch.
There isn't anything in the kit I don't like. I was so excited about it so as soon as I could, I bought it.
The question is will my stuff get put in my inventory every time I load the lot because of the modular shelf bug.
So proud of everyone and how much you raised for the hospital!!
Those rainbow books are my favourite thing in the entire of the sims
The fire hazard had me rolling 😂
Also can we appreciate the "Strike a Prose" pun for that bookend item?? I cackled
I find it hilarious how the random sim Kayla used in CAS to see the kit is a sim I have in my sims family so it feels like she's playing with my own sim 😭
I literally get to see my sim wearing clothes from a kit I don't own for free 😍
I was so stoked for the grunge kit! I have a house hold with a teenage daughter and before this kit, I gave her a "rock" vibe. So this kit really helped with the style I originally created for her.
i’m so excited for this kit
13:25 it’s a “hank green” floating shelf!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I never realized how much i used the gallery until i didnt have it anymore
I love the fact that they are going more retro with the wallpaper and the basement kit love it
grunge revival is a MUST BUY
AxA did it better :)
Everyone is going to have a library… every sim house!!! I’m so in love
I was a teen in the 90’s so I’m very excited about this grunge pack.
Same!
8:40 yes exactly THIS I think for me the problem is that the hats never cover the ears, they're always above. Basically they sit on top of the head but don't cover it
Next build is gonna be a blue suburban with every item from Book Nook
I got the grunge one yesterday but purposely waited until I saw your review to decide on if I want the book one. Now, I'm totally sold! I especially love the modular bookcase around the window and the book tray with the (candle?) I love that everything is pretty neutral too. Thanks for breaking all these down!
OOooooo maybe I will buy the pack now! also I LOVE U LILSIMSIE!
I like both packs. The content looks great in both of them. I'm glad I watched this video to see a breakdown of all the content and I like some of the creations you made for the book configurations.
love the sims forever and EVER but it makes me sad how money hungry EA has been lately 💔
i mean, tbh theyve always been super money hungry
what you mean lately, this is the status quo lol
@@handsoaphandsoap kits r a new level. 4.49 for 10 items that you could cram into packs alr released lmao
Yeah the end of stuff packs has been a tragedy
I've been pirating since 2016 for that reason
Book nook kit is my all time favorite.
A lot of the hats sit weirdly high and/or tight don't they? I almost never use them despite loving hats irl.
I remember those tiny backpacks! I can't remember what year that was. I had a few. This is a Millenial highschool throwback CAS pack. I love the book nook though. Happiness is buying bookcases and filling them up with books.
So excited to get the Book Nook kit!!! 📚❤
Love the book nook kit! I just wish it had sommmme more color. It’s nice to have some neutrals but the maximalist in me wants at least a few patterns or jewel tones
with every single item simsie be like: "I'm gonna use this ALL THE TIME"
I really like these kits! I've been wanting more CAS stuff like that. The Book nook looks nice even though I wish there were more swatches, and I love the couches.
omg i hope kayla builds a public library with this new kit
