@@trashqueen4361 Why would EA pay people to tell us not to pay them? That's a loss any way you look at it unless it was for some sort of PR, tbh.

The cool thing about the curtain rail - you can put a lot of different curtains on it and it covers the default rod… I was playing around with it last night.
You know what, this kit also has major beach house potential! Specially for us who didn't splurge on other beach contents that came before. Also, huge material to make Oasis Springs shine again. I'm happy!
@@Zazsuran Aveline is a simmer on UA-cam. Her builds are AMAZING, I'm surprised she doesn't have more subscribers to be honest! Check her out if you have the time!
The Adobe headquarters building is in Utah. Strangerville's red rock mimics southern Utah. A Desert Luxe house in Strangerville called "Adobe CC" is spot on.
James you should put this in jungle adventure and have Reginald and Kevin honeymoon in this house. Plus seeing Reginald try jungle adventure stuff would be hilarious
I'm basically the same age as James, and have been watching his videos basically the whole time he's been making them. Which is wild. This isn't really related to this video in particular, just the general realization of how cool it is to have seen James' content change over the years as we've both gotten older, but it's always been enjoyable! And it's made this channel a very comforting space.
I’m 27 so a year younger than James - I get where you’re coming from. I also appreciate that James doesn’t use Gen Z humour to try and appeal to teenagers.
That's pretty cool. Acording to Jame's P O Box listed on his YT info page, he would have lived in the suburb next to me when growing up, which I think is pretty surreal.
I'm so in love with the wall and floor textures. I finally can make my ideal industrial art studio with loft. The base game concrete textures leave much to be desired, and the giant tiles ARE PERFECT.
I love this build! Appreciate that you made the build for those who just have base game and this new free kit, but would also love to see another video where you do a remodel and use all the packs to bring it to its full potential. Super cute house tho!
Those folding doors are quite common in high end homes in Las Vegas. We are blessed with few insects and most of the year being comfortable to be outside so these make lots of practical and beautiful sense. I especially love when they open to a landscaped pool/outdoor living area that has a view of either Red Rock Canyon or the Strip. Ah, it would be lovely to be able to afford such luxury 😄
The kit looks quite up my alley(best part: It is free!). A bit sad there isn't some more colourful swatches on the couch and armchairs, like swatches that would tie in with other packs or a deeep green, that would match plants.
You have a way of making me excited to build. I love building but was lukewarm on this pack. Seeing the things you point out and the way you combine things together really helps illustrate the value of each asset. Thank you for the video 💗
This is great! I would love to see a desert -themed build using only Desert Luxe and Batuu (and base game as necessary). It would be amazing. Maybe a club or spa even
I never buy kits because I just can’t approve of the price for what you get so free was just up my ally (especially with the curtain and curtain rod!!! Amazing! And the couch! Though I definitely was dying for matching kitchen counters while building with the kit)
Every since I moved to New Mexico, I have been SO inspired to build these Adobe style homes and I'm SO hype that this kit is free because I was STRUGGLING
I downloaded this kit because I heard it was free if you owned the base game. I had no idea what the pack actually had. I’m literally going “ooooo” and “aaaahhh” as James explains to me why it’s legit. 👏🏽
In tropical area, we don't do many fuzzy carpets since it's hot already. We love cooling situation lol.. In Indonesia we do tiles and marbles for flooring because of its cooling effects. We also have bamboo carpets XD. The package looks similar to the housing materials from tropical like ours, that's why I drop my comment.
I would love to see you redo the furnishing of this house with all the packs! I feel like the jungle adventure stuff, especially the rugs, would go beautifully. Such a beautiful build James, though I hate that green rug so much how could you do this 😭😭
I am loving the kit, used it yesterday and had so much fun! I think it was a really nice present from EA, I mean they could have just not give us anything for already owning the sims 4 plus it’s such a nice kit and to get it for free it’s such a great feeling! Btw I love the house! Downloading this for my next gen’s house! Thank you so much, James it’s so cool!!
Watching this on the 15th October and so glad I did because I didn't realise that it was going to be time limited. I thought it was just a free kit update to the game and we'd get it whenever. Off to download right now!
I loved this kit and had to build it with it immediately. That tile I'm going to be using all the time. Love seeing what you did with it, I wouldn't have thought of the privacy windows stacked like that but it looks great.
When James builds a house on the lot your playing in the style you were trying to build in... PERFECTION!! Thank you for saving me hours of frustration.
It's funny. I live in the SW but my house is what passes for a Craftsman out here but!! I was also REALLY EXCITED for this kit so I'm glad it's free! Lots of cool building opportunities
@2:00 mins in I didn't know it could do that I definitely like those windows especially if you're trying to make some like mid-century styles like spaceship-esque buildings. But that's really cool. Especially if you have those designs of houses where the the floor above it sticks out. That that can be really cool to make it look seamless, it's actually one of the things that kind of tends to bother me with some traditional houses that are built like that like split houses a kind of never a fan of the just the overhang like Tudor style has like some embellishments but that doesn't really fit in some styles so this is cool if you're not really a huge fan of the overhang.
I love this kit! I haven't built with it yet but I'll try it today. I'm definitely going to share on social media that this is free. I love this build, it's so cohesive and serene. I -am- looking forward to entire kit recolours because I'd like to use these items in my modern builds and I love jewel tones. I've never downloaded a build before but this is one I'll definitely get. Tweaking it with different pack items will be fun. THANKS JAMES!
Dunno why but I'd love to see a reno of this build with all the packs (without removing the new kit stuff of course). Like to add a good coffee table and other details.
Thank you so much for the head's up on this kit! I wasn't going to buy it because I really don't like the desert here in the US, but since it is free I grabbed it up. 🤣
Ah you used one of my favorite wall lights over by the bar outside, it tends to be my go to, when I need a small light! I also love using that rug in the living room and one bedroom, but I would have used the kinda gold/yellow and dark brown, which is my favorite one of that rug! I just got it after you mentioned it here, and you can just go to Kits on your Origin and get it the way you usually do when buying a pack, that's how I did it! A couple days ago I was working on a house in Oasis Springs where these items would have worked well with, it's a house for an strange group of Aliens, where the house looks pretty normal, but the basement is gets weirder the lower you go, since there are two labs and also a bar area! I used mostly a lot of Batuu items in it, I just wish they had kitchen, bathroom and bedroom items in it, who knows maybe if people hadn't been so snooty about the pack, maybe they would have added more stuff from Star Wars! Whether you like the actually pack for the world Batuu or not, the items that go with it, are great for playing with Aliens, so to me that alone makes it worth getting! If you want to check out the aliens or even the house, my ID is claramj and the Aliens are called Alien Crew!
I feel like this kit could be great for Reggie and Kevin's house down the line.... very zen and very trendy, good for high maintenance Kevin and trendy Reggie :D (Could also add in a sauna and pamper room!)
A piece of advice to Xbox users who the kit isn't showing up for. Go to the gallery, select any lot that uses the kit, set the kit icon from that menu, and you'll be redirected to the Xbox store where you'll be able to claim the kit.
it's amazing how the game lis waht? 8 years old? And I am this excited that i now can do the curtain rods with no mods. I was not expecting that to be the main thing this kit made me happy, when it has so many nice pieces, but nope, thats the thing that make me want to build again.
i'm so glad they made this free! i'm def not a modern builder, but it would be cool do use this pack in sulani, like making part of the world more vacationey/modern? kits have been kinda underwhelming so far (besides the little campers one), so i've passed on most in favour of cc. i hope they keep doing this, where the kit is free for a bit, since i feel like most players don't want to spend 7$ on stuff we can get for free (and often better) from cc.
It would be cool if you uploaded this house to the gallery, then did a renovation job with all packs and uploaded that house as well 😊 I want to see this house in its full potential!
Great housing considering it's only base game and the kit! I'd probably turn the bedroom at the back as a master with ensuite bathroom by shifting the bathroom door such that the entrance is from the bedroom instead.
This came out great! I really enjoyed how the objects were showcased here. Not sure if I will be using the content from this kit in any upcoming builds but EA needs to do more free packs like this!
I know I wouldn't have bought the kit if it wasn't free, but I'm so glad it is because all the items are so simple and versatile. It will be a great addition to the people that only have the base game.
This actually looks incredible, very different from all the usual Sims builds but really cool. Very AD-y 😄 I love that they made this kit free, at least some good news with the still ongoing issues after the last updates lol.
Thank you so much for doing this build James!!I love this style of video because it helps us that struggle with building and Organization. I have so many ideas on how to use the items now. Hopefully you will do more of these. I will definitely be downloading this build. You are AWESOME!
I’m really grateful UA-camrs are sharing that this is free. I probably wouldn’t have noticed otherwise and this pack has such cool items!
Same, I haven't played sims for a while and totally would have missed this
same
Yeah, cus they prolly have to or they paid them. Bruh
i was playing when i watched his video and didn't even notice the desert kit on the Origin panel. So i quickly got out and got it

Good to know. I will be on the look out for that. Thanks for the heads up on that tip.
That’s great to know! Thank you!
That's great to know!
Good idea! 👍
I am thinking of using it as windowsill. It is quite difficult with the shelves as they don't snap together.
You know what, this kit also has major beach house potential! Specially for us who didn't splurge on other beach contents that came before. Also, huge material to make Oasis Springs shine again. I'm happy!
Everyone Thank Aveline for this kit! And if you haven't checked out her builds, do it. I knew James would come through with some fabulous ideas. Nice!
She’s really under rated
Who?
@@Zazsuran Aveline is a simmer on UA-cam. Her builds are AMAZING, I'm surprised she doesn't have more subscribers to be honest! Check her out if you have the time!
I actually found her first, and then everyone else 🤣

Also! the spotlight lights that go on the floor can slot onto objects like a lamp! It’s a pretty cool addition!
The Adobe headquarters building is in Utah. Strangerville's red rock mimics southern Utah. A Desert Luxe house in Strangerville called "Adobe CC" is spot on.
Yah. It's a pretty cool looking building, actually. I've driven past a couple times!
This house looks soo "chill", like, it would be the perfect place to live in a hot weather.
James you should put this in jungle adventure and have Reginald and Kevin honeymoon in this house. Plus seeing Reginald try jungle adventure stuff would be hilarious
A FREE Sims kit!!? And James is actually reviewing it? Crazy crazy
Seen the title, paused to get it. Now listening to the video. I might ultimately never use it but you can't beat free.
I'm basically the same age as James, and have been watching his videos basically the whole time he's been making them. Which is wild. This isn't really related to this video in particular, just the general realization of how cool it is to have seen James' content change over the years as we've both gotten older, but it's always been enjoyable! And it's made this channel a very comforting space.
I’m 27 so a year younger than James - I get where you’re coming from. I also appreciate that James doesn’t use Gen Z humour to try and appeal to teenagers.
That's pretty cool. Acording to Jame's P O Box listed on his YT info page, he would have lived in the suburb next to me when growing up, which I think is pretty surreal.
Same. It's pretty funny when you match the age of someone you watch! :p
I'm so in love with the wall and floor textures. I finally can make my ideal industrial art studio with loft. The base game concrete textures leave much to be desired, and the giant tiles ARE PERFECT.
I love this build! Appreciate that you made the build for those who just have base game and this new free kit, but would also love to see another video where you do a remodel and use all the packs to bring it to its full potential. Super cute house tho!
Such a good idea, would love to see that as well!
As someone who lives in the desert, I can say you did a great job!
Thanks for using base game only. I've started fresh again I want to enjoy all this new updates and plays along with our future community.
Those folding doors are quite common in high end homes in Las Vegas. We are blessed with few insects and most of the year being comfortable to be outside so these make lots of practical and beautiful sense. I especially love when they open to a landscaped pool/outdoor living area that has a view of either Red Rock Canyon or the Strip. Ah, it would be lovely to be able to afford such luxury 😄
I already downloaded this house for my current legacy family! Thanks, James!
This kit would look fantastic mixed with Batuu! And this house is fantastic! I love how it turned out.
The kit looks quite up my alley(best part: It is free!). A bit sad there isn't some more colourful swatches on the couch and armchairs, like swatches that would tie in with other packs or a deeep green, that would match plants.
You have a way of making me excited to build. I love building but was lukewarm on this pack. Seeing the things you point out and the way you combine things together really helps illustrate the value of each asset. Thank you for the video 💗
The build stuff from Strangerville would go so great with this kit! It'd be cool to see a build with those two and base game together.
Hey guys James here today 🫣 miss that intro 😅 been here since 2012/2013 for the sims 3 tutorials. Oh gosh I feel old 🤣
This is great! I would love to see a desert -themed build using only Desert Luxe and Batuu (and base game as necessary). It would be amazing. Maybe a club or spa even
I never buy kits because I just can’t approve of the price for what you get so free was just up my ally (especially with the curtain and curtain rod!!! Amazing! And the couch! Though I definitely was dying for matching kitchen counters while building with the kit)
The detail on the door and the curtain seems so realllll, i really like that
I loooove what you did with this build James! Downloading ASAP 😁
same I've been trying to find a lovely 3 bedroom house for my sims family they only have one kid at the moment they will have another kid soon
Every since I moved to New Mexico, I have been SO inspired to build these Adobe style homes and I'm SO hype that this kit is free because I was STRUGGLING
I’m so happy Aveline got to help with this pack design! 🥰👌🏻
I am so excited to have this pack in my game! It is one of the few kits I was thinking about spending money on so it being free is amazing
18:00 : Knowing EA, the kitchen counters and rug are on the way ... for a fee lol 🤣
Glad you posted this, I've seen a few videos saying it but didn't realise it had a time limit
I would love to see you do a build with this kit and eco lifestyle or the beach pack. I think this pack would look so pretty in the beach world.
I downloaded this kit because I heard it was free if you owned the base game. I had no idea what the pack actually had. I’m literally going “ooooo” and “aaaahhh” as James explains to me why it’s legit. 👏🏽
i'm really glad you shared this, otherwise I probably never would have noticed it was free and would have missed out on these cool items.

This straight up looks like a cc pack! It’s beautiful
Wasn’t originally interested in buying the kit when they announced but after downloading it for free and having a look I love it so much!!!

When you are behind and just missed it
Dunno why but I'd love to see a reno of this build with all the packs (without removing the new kit stuff of course). Like to add a good coffee table and other details.
Would love to see a re work of your star wars build with this pack + curved walls!
Thank you so much for the head's up on this kit! I wasn't going to buy it because I really don't like the desert here in the US, but since it is free I grabbed it up. 🤣

kind of excited to try using the cement cube end tables as stairs for the pool!
This house turned out so cute! Especially for just having base game & the kit.
I just finished watching Deli's take on this pack. While I was watching I kept hearing you in the background yelling BATU.
Ok this is perfect for a vacation home for my current lp
I feel like this kit could be great for Reggie and Kevin's house down the line.... very zen and very trendy, good for high maintenance Kevin and trendy Reggie :D (Could also add in a sauna and pamper room!)

i really love this house! and finally a kit i also like, they really have been lackluster.. i guess it really helps that this is free.
This house gives me major Sims 2 vibes! I can see the Beakers retiring here, or an estranged (or I guess in that case, normal?) wealthy Spectre
it's amazing how the game lis waht? 8 years old? And I am this excited that i now can do the curtain rods with no mods. I was not expecting that to be the main thing this kit made me happy, when it has so many nice pieces, but nope, thats the thing that make me want to build again.

thanks for letting us know about the free kit. I would've missed seeing this.
Ah yes, now James can add beige to his colour palette of black and white 👌🏼
Great housing considering it's only base game and the kit! I'd probably turn the bedroom at the back as a master with ensuite bathroom by shifting the bathroom door such that the entrance is from the bedroom instead.
This came out great! I really enjoyed how the objects were showcased here. Not sure if I will be using the content from this kit in any upcoming builds but EA needs to do more free packs like this!
the slurping noise james made at the tile flooring oh my god
I saw this on twitter this morning and couldn't believe it! I refuse to buy kits but it's free... Surprisingly nice pieces, I'd definitely use these.
I know I wouldn't have bought the kit if it wasn't free, but I'm so glad it is because all the items are so simple and versatile. It will be a great addition to the people that only have the base game.
I wasn't too excited about this pack but thanks to you making everything looking a lot more interesting I'll have to try everything out 😊
I’m really excited because my favorite items are the curtains and sofa, omg they’re beautiful.
Today is my Birthday, this is an awesome gift. I love the new items.
Happy birthday! 🎂🎊
I was looking for a cool house for my Rags to Riches HS/Uni sims and this is perfect!! Going from Copperdale to Oasis Springs :P
The thought of all those concrete floors is making my feet and knees hurt already lol. Great, fun build as always though.
love the pack and the house but i would have used the industrial looking counters that came in base game. they look great with the new bar stools
Thanks James! I did not know about the Free Kit! I just DL it TY!
I'm going to put this house in my game the moment I return home. It's such a great build
Amazing 🤩 I've already downloaded it. Thank you so much and greetings from Germany 🙋♀️
Just watched where the floor tile can also be 1 tile depending upon rotating the individual squares
Love it. Downloaded the pack yesterday but haven't had time to look at it yet.
I love your builds. Please don’t ever stop them.
I think this is one of my favourite houses you have built in a while🤩
Everyone is in love with this house; very elegant!
This actually looks incredible, very different from all the usual Sims builds but really cool. Very AD-y 😄
I love that they made this kit free, at least some good news with the still ongoing issues after the last updates lol.
James reviewing a kit??? 😱
I think that this kit and the plant kit are my favorites.
This is a gorgeous build. Great job.
I live in the Sonoran desert, and this house is 1000% on point.
I had the same struggles with the curtain rod and wanting to get counters to match the bar and grill but it's hard to be too mad at freeeeeee! Lol
It totally looks exactly like a standard “rental house” here in Italy :)
my sims 4 hyperfixation phase was dwindling out, i wasn’t planning on even turning on my computer today, thank you for this video
Thanks for letting us know. Had no idea this was free. ❤
You said “Adobe creative cloud home” and im a graphic designer so I literally didn’t even question it until you said it was a joke 😂😂😂
Love watching some Sims while playing the Sims. Idk what it is. Very awesome build 👍🏼
Thank you so much for doing this build James!!I love this style of video because it helps us that struggle with building and Organization. I have so many ideas on how to use the items now. Hopefully you will do more of these. I will definitely be downloading this build. You are AWESOME!
lol these colors would look great with "AHHH BATU" stuff as well! this "kit" is soooo cool!
the colors are great you could add a build in oasis springs. These colors would look awesome there!!!!
