I wonder why they didn't just make a general kitchen expansion pack ... where you can make your own icecream, sell waffles and have your own restaurant ... oh wait, I know why 😅
If you have "Get to Work" you can already do that. Heck, with the selling tables that are in debug and with other packs, you can already sell the food, just can't use the small appliances on another lot.
I think most of the time they don't plan ahead and rushed their DLCs, that's why the game ended up with a lot of samey themed DLCs. We had multiple DLC that revolves around cooking, taking care of environment, etc...
One thing that frustrated me is that you can't order any of the new pizzas or sell them in restaurants. I had been planning on opening a pizzeria with the dineout mod but I guess thats out the window...
@@augusto7681I swear they halfazz 💩 cause they know our amazing modders will just finish their job for them. Like how long have the nannies not taken care of the kids been an issue…yet they never fixed it we had to wait for one of our hero modders to clean up their mess.
I'm glad you mentioned the past selling tables and how similar Home Chef Hustle's table is a rehash of those. Most reviewers made sure to skim over it, or didn't mention it at all.
You can sell food from those tables too but this new one differs in the following ways: 1) with this one sims by portions of food like slices of pizza when you put out a box instead of the whole thing. 2) with this one they eat whatever they buy in front of you. The old stands they would just buy like a whole box of pizza and then it would be gone. 3) Because they eat in front of the stand and will sit down on chairs and seating if you place them nearby especially if they are picnic tables, they can also be affected by the food you sell in mass and sometimes there will be custom buffs. For example, someone sold poor quality pufferfish nigiri and they killed several sims and then got a buff saying they were an agent of chaos. This also works for things like potions and selling plasma and meat to werewolves and vampires. 4) You can cook on the stand with the appliances that came with the pack and several other appliances like the ice cream maker 5) You can name the stand and also choose a custom icon for your stand now, I don't think you could do that with the old ones 6) The old ones will be manned by random npc sims selling stuff if you put them down on the community spaces that came with eco-lifestyle. That doesn't happen with this stand.
I just hate how the aspirations are locked to pizzas and waffles.. what if I wanna sell something else and still have an aspiration to match my desire to run my own food stand?? Why couldn’t it have been a generic ”sell producrs of perfect quality” instead for example ”pizza of perfect quality”
@@kimberlyjeanne9456 nah but I wish the aspirations was more about making it big using the home chef food stand rather than specifially making it big selling pizzas and waffles to make it a more versatile and useable aspirations
I love this pack. My sim owns a flower shop and a food stand. I always wanted her to sell flowers and coffee so I hired 2 employees to take care of selling the flower arrangements while the owner takes care of selling the food. It's like a huge money trap. She makes soo much money off of doing that.
Something you forgot to mention in your review which I think is important. If you have seasons you basically can not sell anything in most worlds most of the time. It won't let you make stuff in the rain which is annoying.
I holed up in the inside of the rec centre in San Sequoia and that worked, my home lot it was snowing, so I thought I'll go another world, and it was raining there lol, so I just moved a table and set up in the canteen, got quite a few traffic that way lol. Oasis Springs should be a good best when it's raining everywhere else though lol, I'm just going to move around the worlds to find the best weather, I have families in each world, so I can load into their lot if needed to find the best weather lol! :D
Thank you for actually being real and not over exaggerating your excitement like other simmers do💀 I swear so many sims 4 UA-camrs act excited over every little thing and it’s usually not that serious
Well, I don't think that they are lying to us. I'm also excited about new things added to one of my favorite games. Why do not be happy with small things after all? It's making life nicer.
Interacting with the cookbook really needs an animation tho. At the very least something like sim turning a page and then going to fridge. Otherwise it is still nothing but a clutter item, not a gameplay object. Not even mentioning learning new recipes or expanding the recipe list with cookbook so it actually would have a purpose🙄
So listen to me! It’s ok to gameplay items split in packs ok? Ok! The nectar making (although recycled from Eco Lifestyle) works great for Horse Ranch! But splitting appliances? Movie hangout for popcorn, cool kitchen stuff for ice cream machine and this cool kitchen-dine out-city living pack for 3 more?! Especially when they are the selling point. If there was ONE pack focused on the appliances it would’ve been ok. Imagine a pack with waffle, mixer, oven, popcorn, ice cream, maybe a crepe maker, a hand mixer, air fryer, deep fryer or blender. This could possibly worth the money (if it worked ofc because EA could never make something that is not broken)
Unpopular opinion - this could've been a gameplay kit (with just the pizza maker, waffle maker, stand mixer, and food stand) but the community responded so negatively to the last one & they knew we've been wanting stuff packs to return so they bloated it with unnecessary cas & bb to justify the price.
The cas may be underwhelming (but I love the earrings), but the kitchen is fantastic! Charming modern kitchen. So I don't feel like they are "bloated." It's just so nice to see a good stuff pack. I like the concept of paranormal stuff, but I never play with that sort of thing.
@@Aline_Studio I don't know about the swatches though, the red looks super weird! I also hate those corner cabinets. I do love the worktop though and the general style of them, I'm glad we've got more kitchen BB things
@@RedRoseSeptember22 it’s been very normalized but currently to buy all dlc for sims it’s $1,200 + alone, an extra $10 when the pack is half redundant is not worth it.
You could always sell food on the yard sale tables - it's my favourite way to make money in rags to riches or 100 baby challenge. It's really easy to make lots of money selling individual plates of baked food - the better your skill the more money you make obvs. Sims 4 is just re-hashing anything they can nowadays eh 🤦🏼♀️
1) i hate how the corner cabinet is just a shelf, i wish they had the corner shelf seperate from the cabinetry. 2) i kinda dont like the the new build objects on general. like to me theyre kinda dull idk maybe its just the green color scheme that seems a bit blah to me 3) i will end up buying it probably for the pizza oven and waffle maker...lets see how long i can last without it
They should've made aprons a gameplay feature similar to "no shoes" sign in Snowy Escape. Like, we could hang an apron on the wall and click something like "Put on aprons while cooking" Also, I'm surprised at CAS. They put so little stuff but honestly idk how many items they add for a SP in general. They really could have made an appliances-only gameplay kit imo
So we basically have a kit/stuff pack for every room except for a bathroom. Anyone noticed that? We only have a bathroom clutter kit... I want mordern built-in toilets
I’ll be honest, I feel like a different team worked on this one. Idk why. It’s overall a nice pack, I’ll admit it. Do wish there was another counter and cabinet set. But it’s fine.
I honestly think if they're gonna do a kitchen stuff pack there should have been 2 kitchen sets. I feel like these look really similar to a set we've already got.
I don’t care about the gameplay. I’ve never understood the hype around food and cooking in the sims. BUT as someone who spends 70 percent of my gameplay in build mode, I really want that kitchen. Now, if only I could convince myself it’s worth ten dollars.
I bought it the second it was ready to be downloaded, I actually really like the pack, it’s nice to have a modern kitchen where the fridge fits and love the new dishwasher and sink, it’s very different to the other kitchens
I don't think the cooking atire is bad. Not everyone has all the other packs, so it makes sense that its there. But the Catering Carrere idea (as freelancer, maybe with work from home parts that makes you prepare some foods) would have been nice.
I was a bit upset about this stuff pack as well, to be honest I would love a zodiac sign pack. Just like a personality option would be nice other then traits.
???? I use a yard sale table and sell food and produce all the time? What do you mean it was locked? Sure, people didn't like partial portions (ie 7 servings instead of 8) and some foods weren't coded to give you money, but my sims have been selling food from the yard sale table for as long as i can remember
i just got this and i love it! i bought 5 dlc's plus the free romantic garden for Christmas. i only had $50 to spend, and it fit right in the budget. and i got everything on sale to boot!
I put my stand at San Myshuno. Some stands pop up, so my stand disappears in my family inventory. I found it, but the pizza oven, and all the pizzas made vanished in the Great Void. + i bought flour to make drought, and the flour were not reconized. Yes, two bugs in ten minutes. Nice job, EA
I love this pack, but I'm getting a bit tired of everything we do related to shopping and selling in the game being done through stalls (excluding GTW retail shops).
no stuff pack will ever compare to paranormal stuff its truly one of the best packs in the game
Your not wrong
One of the only things I do in Sims 4 anymore, the ghosts and seances are just so fun
And I use the build stuff in all of my build!!
I haven’t played with that pack much but going to now that I’ve seen these comments. 😊
Ngl I forgot that pack existed. I never played with that, I just use the build items. 😅
I wonder why they didn't just make a general kitchen expansion pack ... where you can make your own icecream, sell waffles and have your own restaurant ... oh wait, I know why 😅

You can already make your own ice cream with the ice cream machine.
Or dine update with all this stuff added in.
And why does everything look so blurryy
Wish they had updated the freelancer careers, Like some kind of catering would have been nice
agree. but that’s too ambitious for the sims team to actually do
There's a mod for this! Freelance chef by ADeepIndigio
They don't even think about this when they brainstorm on what should be added. No one at that table thought of your genius idea :(
One thing that frustrated me is that you can't order any of the new pizzas or sell them in restaurants. I had been planning on opening a pizzeria with the dineout mod but I guess thats out the window...
I was wondering if the new food would be available in restaurant menu. We will have to wait for modders complete EA job.
And the fact that you can't make the pizza that you can order on the phone??? I wanted more pizza options so it sucks that you can't do it.
I still don't understand why we can't order more than one pizza either :/ @@do_it_like_rei
It’s so sad that you weren’t even planning to attempt to open a pizzeria with the actual game/expansion… but knew you needed the mod instead 😭

@BeautyQueen2023X What does that even mean in this context lmao
I think this is the first criminal DLC for them. Underground restaurants or such, bypassing food safety regulations.
I really miss how unhinged the other sims games were, especially 2/3. Sims 4 is just too wannabe family friendly
Omg, yhe dog in the background is adorable

Why do I immediately think of Simsie from your comment😂😅
@@BelgianDude that’s who I was referring to honestly 😭 idk why she gets excited over the smallest things like it’s truly something game changing
Simsie is the poster child of EA shillery. 😂

Not the stall name being "The blue waffle" 😭
Heheh cute little shiba in the background 🥺
9/10 playthroughs - only cooking and eating Garden Salad
“It’s not that deep” my favorite Satch line of all time 😅🤍
Someone grew up during the "I dare you to Google blue waffle" era 💀
It literally could´ve been in "Get to Work" or "Dine Out", although "Dine Out" also should´ve been in "Get to Work"
You can interact with a cook book. And also when it's raining the appliances break. I wish they put something above them for protection.
A food truck/camper "stall" would have been the answer to that issue.
Interacting with the cookbook really needs an animation tho. At the very least something like sim turning a page and then going to fridge. Otherwise it is still nothing but a clutter item, not a gameplay object. Not even mentioning learning new recipes or expanding the recipe list with cookbook so it actually would have a purpose🙄
is the cook book included together with this pack?
Can you put it under an awning or inside a building in a park or an eco community lot?
You can also upgrade it to be unbreakable with handiness skill
“The blue waffle” I’m dying. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That dog is so cute
I forgot everything you said, I was too busy waiting for the puppy to show back up in the video. I will have to watch it again lol.

That is literally the prettiest Doggy I've ever seen!!! 🥰🤩 But also I Agree best kitchen, but a blah pack 😒

Have just started watching the video. Just wanted to say that the dog is adorable 🥰
The subs for this video told me this is your 'Bruce Lee honest review' and they weren't necessarily wrong
1:00 that jumpsuit with the striped undershirt is the most cursed item in this pack in my opinion
I can't be the only one who thinks those whisk earrings look like nooses.
It’s cute but I’m glad the fridge doesn’t have a gap between the wall and connects well with the counters

Great vid Satch, as always 💙🙏
Not the stall being called the blue waffle -
I’m not eatin nowhere near a restaurant called “the blue waffle”
This is good to go with the modded Freelancer home chef career.
Finally a fade!
I spotted a doggo, instantly a great vid✨
Get a life, plz.
I have free CC that is more exciting than furniture in this pack. they should collab with Felixandre
Damn, you look hot in this lighting. I say keep this setup more natural it works
I was literally waiting for this
the blue waffle >.> lolol
Honestly, fear of what this pack will do to my townies is one of the biggest reasons I don't want it
I was a bit upset about this stuff pack as well, to be honest I would love a zodiac sign pack. Just like a personality option would be nice other then traits.
nice DLC actually some younger players can set up pizzeria shop and cook and sell pizzas
????

There are also new floors and kitchen tiles
I have to admit, almost all my attention was taken by the beautiful, cute doggy next to Satch :D
I stopped playing the sims 4/ keeping up to date with new packs since kits were announced
I made a brilliant decision
Sims2 And 3 forever❤
Same, I stoped playing after the horse pack, it deflated me. It was so boring
so, u think theres not enough build stuff but whats there is unnecessary but you'll use it? ok...
I feel like this should of been with cool kitchen. You only get 1 appliance in that pack. What is actually cool about it?
Lmfaoooo
i just got this and i love it! i bought 5 dlc's plus the free romantic garden for Christmas. i only had $50 to spend, and it fit right in the budget. and i got everything on sale to boot!
Sims 4: We use items that we used before 😂
Ok
sweet doggo on background🐶
That corner shelf instead of a corner cabinet is so cursed! Never seen a real life kitchen like that. I really wish they didn’t do that.
Great review Satch!
The first time I used the food stall I dragged the waffle maker onto it and it broke instantly due to the rain 😂🤦🏻♂
Just looked at the cas and build buy items and immediately came here to bitch about them 😂💚 sul sul!
OMG you have a shiba? I have two. We’re all watching this video right now on my tv and my dog was going crazy seeing yours lol
Your review is all I need❤
The Blue waffle 😂
I put my stand at San Myshuno. Some stands pop up, so my stand disappears in my family inventory. I found it, but the pizza oven, and all the pizzas made vanished in the Great Void. + i bought flour to make drought, and the flour were not reconized. Yes, two bugs in ten minutes. Nice job, EA
I need yall to start telling the quality of the build mode items ...is a bed +6 energy is the toilet 10 bladder 😂 my sims like expensive things
I dont have dine out, so I may buy this if I catch it on sale.
When selling nectar on food stall even when it's finely aged, it's drastically reduced in value. Is this fixed?
I really do like the normal sized appliances
"I actually don’t hate this" 😂
When they do the bare minimum 😍😍😍
I KNOW I didn't just see you call your stand "The Blue Waffle."
Satch What is the little doggy's name🥺🙏🏼
Another kitchen pack.? Omg, give me the grim reaper and cars, real spooky stuff! No wonder I have not bought anything I awhile. Well, years.
I love this pack, but I'm getting a bit tired of everything we do related to shopping and selling in the game being done through stalls (excluding GTW retail shops).
Spat my drink out when I saw the name of the food stall 😂
Preparing and selling food reminds me a lot of Sims 2 Open for Business and selling food from display fridge
