“No, I don’t want free headphones.”
Tbh they are so OP. You can raise sims fun and also do other stuff at the same time with them
Yes I do😂
I literally bought this pack for earphones and never use them. 🤣
@@tyciendawarren2445same 😂😭
I never got that
The fact that they keep taking items from this pack and making them base game, this pack definitely needs a refresh.
They could maybe do an exercise bike since it could just adapt existing assets - is there an exercise bike in any Sims expansion? A rowing machine would be cool too, but that would be completely new
EDIT: If I get really greedy, free weights would be interesting, a cross trainer would be cool, a bar for doing pull ups...
@@neilbiggs1353 Absolutely doable as there are a few mods offering exercise bike, rowing machine and some others. Also include some large two handed dumbbells... Found in the kid's toys section making them usable even by toddlers.
Refreshes are not coming back
Agree
@@MEDSZ13.08did they say that?
The third styled look for men - that originally wasn’t a base game top. That men’s hooded tank top with the mesh strip originally came in the fitness stuff pack - then at some point they added a bunch of recolors and made it base game. Those long leggings/tights on the first men’s styled look and on one of the women’s styled look ALSO originally came in this pack. It was weird how much CAS stuff they pulled out of this pack. I actually use this pack kind of lot both for CAS and Build.
I remember that! Would be really interesting to know _how_ they choose stuff to make Basegame
I will say, only 3 swatches each were added to the sleeveless hoodie and those leggings and were made basegame. You do need to own fitness stuff to access all the swatches those items originally had. I honestly find it so weird that they did it to a handful of CAS items across a couple packs, and yet there’s no icon in CAS to indicate the original swatches are pack exclusive
@@Jayk-kz7sh ohhhh *that's* why I have never seen those 'base game leggings' before, those are not base game swatches
Related to the ear buds in this pack but it would be really cool if podcasts were added and you can get fun needs fulfilled and maybe even skill level increases depending on the podcast you listen to.
like the audio books in sims 3
Ooh, excellent idea!
Can't wait for my sims to learn how to be alpha males and listen to Andrew tate :)
i think city living came with talk radio and i always liked how the animation was different coming out of the radio
yes you should be able to listen to audio books and if it's a skill-book you get the skill gain. It's slower than reading but you can multi-task
As a climber, I’m actually really impressed with the animation on the climbing wall. The sims do actual rock climbing moves on it- somebody did their research!
i stand by the rock climbing wall and i love the bathroom set ngl
I was OBSESSED with that toilet as a child
This is exactly what made me buy the pack just for the bathroom set and rock climbing
It's a fun pack. I think it's definitely worth it if it's on sale, and Sims packs go on sale pretty often. The CAS is much better than most people give it credit for, especially considering how lacking sports clothing is in both the base game and other packs. The BB is genuinely amazing, there's a lot of sleek and modern furniture there that's really hard to come by. The door is one of my faves. And while the rock climbing wall can be a bit pointless by itself, if you have Snowy Escape, they fit really well together. I really like this pack. Not mindblowing by any means, but pretty neat imo.
@@purplecosmonautHonestly even without snowy escape, the rock climbing wall is a nice variation on gym equipment and a little less repetitive.
I always forget about exercising on the TV tho. And that that’s a part of this pack. Another nice variation on Sims exercising that’s not the same old treadmill and weights machine.
I enjoy uninstalling every single pack and adding them back one at a time per generation on a long lifespan gameplay. Like time moves forward and you get access to stuff you didn’t always have back in the day
That must bf a Looooong save
I wish I had that commitment and attention span! Sounds great! Although I still haven't played with some expansion packs yet so maybe I should try this 🤔
Yeah I just finished writing a legacy that works just like this bc I wanted to play it
Wait that sounds so cool and fun. Do you start with all of them uninstalled or certain ones in like Cottage Living so the “old” generations can live like that was all they had “back in the day”?? I’ve gotta learn how to uninstall so I can do this 😂
This pack is giving "a millionare living in a volcano or in a mountain/modern house on the mountain" vibe.
This!!!!!! I could never really describe the vibe but now that u said it, I can't unsee it and I really want to build something like that 😂😂
That 2nd one inspires me, if I was a builder I would get on that 😂
😂😂
I use the workout TV channels all the time, because I tend to have my sims live in a micro home for college, so I don't have room for workout equipment.
Yeah same
I just wish they gave fitnessing an actual overhaul, like using some actual usable gym equipment like dumbells, bikes, etc. and maybe that you can go on a diet to improve your physique. Now we just get a very goofy and unusable rock climbing wall.
Dumbbells and bikes would be amazing!
if your sim can gain weight from eating too much (i witnessed it firsthand when playing the grilled cheese aspiration) then you should be able to diet in basegame too! with salads and the juice machine from eco lifestyle!
Same! I also wish they would split up some skills. Like I would like to have a separate Cardio and Strength skill, and Swimming as its own thing. But it could all contribute to a base Fitness skill too. Like how lots of different skills will simultaneously build the Entrepreneur skill
I'd love to see them add weight training as a separate thing with dumbbells etc... Like there could even be a death where your Sim lifts without a spotter and crushes themselves underneath a bar 😂 the fitness stuff we've got at the moment is quite limited but they could do so much with it.
@@littlepandachef4920 There is actually a fanpack for fitness, that give you this. the Let's get fit from Cepzid. That give you bike, barbel weight. etc and it some other modder have made big gym pack compatible with it as the Gym and crossfit pack from syboulette that made their CC work with the mod so almost everything are functionnal. I m in love with this. That what should have been made in the EA pack but well...
personally, it's one of my favorites stuff packs. i really like the clothing, the style of the furniture, the fitness stuff, the headphones. i think this pack is really underrated.
Very underrated
I thought I was the only who loved this pack, but yess 😩✨
same ^^
same! and if you do modern builds, it's a VERY useful pack. this and spa day are basically essential for modern builds imo
@@starstruck_sims yeah I’m constantly using fitness, spa day, snowy escape, and dream home decorator for modern builds
Congrats on 400k raised for St. Jude’s, Simsie! 🎉
I love this pack and will defend it until the day I die. I love the CAS (mostly the pants) and build buy, and I use the lights all the time
I love this pack also, especially the build buy
The build buy is why I want the pack - the items it comes with are great
Ikr. I use the CAS so much and when building a home the stone sidetable and bookcase will be in it haha. I also tend to use the shower , toilet and ceiling lights quite a lot in combination with the better looking work out machines. Def my favorite older Stuff Pack.
the build buy is amazing especially for modern builds
My favorite memory of the rock climbing wall was in my first legacy save. The wall was there forever with other gym equipment because it was a pretty active family, but my oldest sim had ignored it for her entire life. Then, when she was an elder in her last few days, and I was letting her basically do whatever she wanted, all of a sudden, I got a pop-up that she'd beat some record on the rock climbing wall, lol. I just found it so fun that with two or three days left in her life, she suddenly decided that rock climbing was her thing - and killed at it. 😀
One time I got this pack for sale for like $0.60. That was such a random sale
Oh damn
What the heck how did I miss that?
How? I mean congrats that’s awesome but how?
i think mine came free with the base game when i got it
I bought this the day it came out and yes, those longer leggimgs DID come with the pack originaly
This pack also comes with an option on tvs so you can do video workouts and gain fitness without needing home equipment at home
She talkes about it around 18th minute ^-^
@lilsimsie 's videos are so relaxing. Being a 2nd year PhD student, it's rare to have the time or energy for committing to a movie or a TV show - but watching just light-hearted content like this (about a game that I love) makes life a little bit calmer... Thanks, Kayla!
it's kinda sad that the main feature, the Climbing Wall, is practically useless w/o Winter Wonderland (or at least isn't as fun)
it gives DLC of DLC (having pets flashback) but on another lvl!! cause technically Fitness came first
Winter Wonderland😂😂😂
LOL love the dadsie reference
I think it just goes to show how different Simmers can be and that there really is a pack for everyone at this point! I use this pack so much--more than I realized as Simsie was pulling stuff I didn't realize was in the pack! I use the rock climbing wall in all my gyms, etc. I actually use this pack pretty much in ALL my gameplay. The workout on the tv is a GODSEND to me.
The workout videos on the tv are my favorite thing from the pack. Sometimes I don't have room in my house for a treadmill or I don't have the money, so having the tv option is great. I use it all the time.
I love the fitness stuff pack and will use the gym equipment in every gym space I create.
The rock wall also builds a hidden rock climbing skill which is separate from the Snowy Escape skill.
Gim equipment... I prefer those from Werewolves.
Yes, there is a hidden climbing skill. There is a mod that exist that unhide it. It also unhide the skating, ping pong, juice pong, dart board and the baby foot skills.
Wait really!? That’s so cool!!!!
As someone who only downloads DLC when EA releases stuff for free, it’d be awesome if they focused on refreshing older DLCs because it’d make people more inclined to buy or use it more in their builds, CAS, and gameplay.
The only refresh they ever did was with Spa Day, and then they never went back to it. It's lost in the list of things-
They tried to do that with Spa Day and maybe EA didn't think it was worth the trouble ):
@@ryuusei1907 I like Spa Day so much better after they refreshed it. There was a lot of potential with the refreshes
I was so disappointed that the climbing wall doesn't come in snowy escape. I wanted my Sim to build climbing skill with his buddies at the local gym before taking a big vacation to climb the mountain
I love the headphones and give them to most of my sims because it constantly keeps their fun filled while they do other stuff.
"I was a teenager so therefore my opinions were annoying and invalid"
I can see why someone would say that about themselves, but it makes me think back to being a teenager and not feeling like I was taken seriously
I agree. Kayla’s opinions were not invalid. Nor are any other teenager’s. ❤
I think you are reading too much into It. It's just bc when you are a teen you are still figuring things out basically. And bc it's been a long time since this pack was made so...
This kind of thing is probably exactly why nobody took you seriously. Less talking out of you from now on
@@emanuellameloguimaraes722Yess more of a personal growth thing not a teenager opinions are invalid thing.. it was a joke 😭
I use these build iteams ALL the time! I always think its crazy when Simsie talks crap about it😂 I couldn't do without it
She did say she doesn't make modern builds often.
I had a sim complete all the climbing wall challenges to train to climb Mt Komorebi without going there and it took FOREVER, but the actual mountain excursion was a piece of cake afterwards.
I bought the stuff pack just for the climbing wall.. Yes, totally worth it for me! I'm a rock climber
Maybe it's just me, but it would be fun if the Sims team did an update and added some new deaths. They could add a concussion if you fall off the wall, and if you don't "treat" it, you could die. I'd prefer if they just fell off and died, but TS4 is...soft 😄
I use this pack soooo often its ridiculous. And the earphones are so good for gameplay! Fun need gets fixed by itself!
Tbh, instead of a house, I'd love a gym/spa built with fitness stuff and spa day. I always struggle to add the climbing walls to the gyms in game.
I bought this when it originally came out and I have never seen that mirror in my life. 😂
What I discovered recently is that with this pack there comes new swatches for this basegame leggins which is used for the styled look by making a bg only sim using this leggins and it got flagged as having the fitness pack until I changed the leggins. So technically the the pack DO come with accessoires
I really like that sink for micro homes. It doesn't stick out as much as others, so it feels like my Sims have more space. And I didn't know the climbing wall had that much, I want to play with it now!
I think one of the things I love the most about this pack is that there's a logo on a lot of the clothes that's ALSO on an Athletic/Cold Weather top that came in Seasons AND the Sparring equipment from Strangerville. I love when we get hints of in-universe companies in the Sims 4.
I agree with everyone saying they love this pack! Don't understand how it's so underrated!! Would love to see you build a gym using just this and base game :D
if they refresh this pack, they could easily incorporate sooo much with the rise of gym culture in social media influence nowadays. like, since there's now social bunny, sims can be fitness influencers and market products/athletic wear and sell protein bars... they could add in new high-protein recipes and dishes that set buffs for workouts, energy drink vending machines with moodlet buffs and caffeine-addict quirks, and add gymshark/aybl/NVGTN-esque sportswear to a CAS refresh. more machines, the option to utilize gym memberships, a personal trainer career that recruits clients or maybe a spa day instructor-style training freelance. individual fitness skill levels that focus on muscle groups, and as you grow muscle/skill up you gain quirks or traits like 'fast metabolism', endurance and stamina skills would unlock perks like a slower sleep need decay, or as the sims get healthier they sleep better, similarly to how upgrading beds creates more efficient sleep. also, they could work in events and activities like marathons sims can train for with the seasons calendar system to incorporating different types of training and athletics! i think it would be really cute if you could train for a turkey trot on thanksgiving or have your sims do a couch-to-10k. i can envision san myshuno marathons or fundraising events where kids at school have to run laps. just some ideeeeaaaas
Also big idea, build an industrial loft for a photographer that loves fitness and rock climbing with the fitness and mosquito packs 👀👀👀👀👀👀
This is the most millennial thing I've ever read in my life.
Sincerely, a millennial
@@bladeofSteele from a Millenial to a Millenial 😂
6:36 & 3:27 -> base game only has 3 swatches of these leggings, i don't own the fitness stuff pack and when you said the swatches we see in this vid were basegame i was confused cause i didn't recognize them lol. i still don't know why they did that, it's always nice to get more free stuff but it's strange to lessen the value of a pack that way, without fixing the price accordingly
I like more bathroom things that come with this pack. I don't know, it's my opinion.
ngl I kinda actually forgot abt this pack until right now kanjjdnakd
edit: okay- I get it now; the Fitness Pack is underrated. it's got sm nice objects tbf
I have fond memories of this pack, even though I didnt own it until last year.
It was one of the last packs one of my favourite german sims youtubers reviewed, and I felt like everyone was making their sims have one of the hairstyles lol! Special place in my heart simply because I think its neat and it came at the right time in my life!
I'll drop this comment here since you mentioned Stanley: I just built a Save File with almost every single lot filled with one of your builds (and used every reno you've done; there are a few I want to request now, haha). Stanley's Hotdog booth fits so well into the lower lot in Copperdale, I've started putting it there in every file I make. I moved Stanley into one of the one bedrooms on the stinky side of Evergreen Harbor as my Simself's neighbor, and he's the only Sim I added that isn't an official EA/Maxis character. He's a part of the game to me, now.
please please PLEASE make a build using as much fitness stuff as possible, i don't even need it to be only fitness stuff and base game, just as much as possible😩
I really love the braided hairstyle, both the masculine and feminine version, it's just soooo badass and attractive to me. I use this pack a fair bit, especially the tile wallpaper! And the corner tub, when I want to make a fancy bathroom haha
I love when you do these because I also forget about different packs and this is legit the first time I'm seeing those windows and door. I agree they don't go with much else, but I could see them being used in a modern/spellcaster type build. I'm envisioning like an old warehouse converted into loft bedroom. Stairs going up the back. XD
I use the bathroom items from this pack ALL the time. Low key the toilet… is my favorite
Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching
First!! I wish they put out some of these older packs for free lol
This pack needs to have a free period
tbh i forgot fitness stuff existed and made it all part of snowy escape in my head. i would never use that giant machine unless i was training to climb the mountain. even then, i would rather read the book for skill bc i hate leaving my house in game and in real life.
So funny how everyone is so different, this is one of my favourite ever stuff packs! Obviously i know it needed way more stuff to justify the pack, but what it does come with I love and use all the time!
That bathroom set especially is my go to for every single house, the shower and the toilet? Top tier.
the headphones are very conviente for if you want to raise a sims's fun while their asleep (aka littrally every time i do collage) and the doors/windows are so cool; even if it's to bad their medium hight
I literally bought this pack for the rock climbing wall so I could make a climbing gym. And I have my rock climbing sim club train there before embarking to Mt. Komerabi. I never track what clothes I use in packs. I make whatever’s there work. 😂😂 I so don’t care about CAS. But that rock climbing wall!! need it.
I forgot about the exercise channel on the TV. Need to play with that more.
I would love to see you attempt making a house using Fitness Stuff and Base Game together like trying to use those window on the whole house and try to make the stuff in the pack look good together so people can really know if they would like to buy this stuff pack
oh and she has to add a full on home gym to it
i love the bathroom set, the hoodie and shoes, and the earbuds are great for gameplay
I love the clothes and I like build stuff more ❤but there are better packs though that is worth more your money
reviewing old packs is such a good idea!
We know sims can wade in ponds we create if we leave room for them to get to it but I wonder, if a pond is wide enough and deep enough, could they swim in it? You should build a community lot that is mostly a deeper pond with maybe a few trees and flowers to test it out. I built one but didn't get to finish it because I got busy.
I think I got this pack because it came in a bundle and I genuinely love the CAS items for athletic wear. I think it would be interesting if, instead of just using one pack for a build, you did something like a pack compatibility challenge, where you choose an expansion and stuff pack that you think would be compatible and build using only those packs. Still a limited build, but I think it would be useful to see how packs could work together.
I might have to go buy this packkkkkk
Love this series!! Hoping for more 😍
I love this Stuff Pack! If not only for the higher quality plumbing (toilets, sink, etc.) versus the cost of buying similarly rated items. This is really worth the few dollars. I've really enjoyed this pack. It's not going to change your SIM life, but it's brought me joy....just sayin'.
The pack is very useful if you want your sim to build rock climbing skill outside of Mnt Kohlrabi at the gym or something, then take a vacation to climb the mountain.
As much as we meme on the free earbuds that come with the pack, they are interestingly the only wireless headphones in the game. That being said, I do remember at the time needing to download a mod to let me be able to do day to day sim things while still listening to the headphones. I don’t know if it’s still the case where that mod is still necessary, but such a weird choice to not let sims do stuff like go jogging while using the headphones
if you select “turn on” instead of “listen to” it doesn’t add any action to their queue and you still get the increased fun benefit!
I use the workout channel all the time in my games!! I find it very convenient.
I love this pack! One of the first ad-ons I’ve bought.
That picture is actually the one reason I’ve ever considered buying fitness stuff. The ceiling lights are good too.
Your review videos are so helpful and fun to watch ❤
I used to have this pack but I had to get the game again so I lost it and I loved the climbing wall, buy stuff and especially the earbuds, so now every time my loading screen says “no I don’t want free earbuds” I scream at the scream “YES I DO”
I think it's fair to do a building using this stuff pack. I wanna see a house with these windows and that door, they are so cool and chic
Legitimately snowy escape should have gotten one because LEGITIMATELY(x2) I have no idea to to get the early levels of rock climbing skill without it
I predict the future: soon it will be given away for free 😂
I use this pack A LOT! I'd recommend getting it on the next sale!
Ok first of all, the fact that the game makes the "No, I don't want the free headphones" joke even WITHOUT this pack, annoys me. I get that loading screen all the time and if I didn't know that it relates to this pack, I would be so confused. But secondly, this video (and the comments) actually made me want to buy this pack lol. I really like the BB, it's really my style and I love all the rock and wood accents. So maybe I'll buy it during the next sale!
I use this pack way more than I would like to admit 😂 My favourite bathroom items come from this pack 😂
IIRC the Rock Climbing Wall also builds a 'hidden' climbing skill, which is base game. It's not the same as the Snowy Escape Rock Climbing (and is separate), and is purely a visual skill thing for the wall item itself. The higher the hidden skill, the better the climbing animations on the wall, it's also the skill used for the wall challenges and unlocks (not Fitness). Kind of like the old hidden skills from earlier Sims, like Darts, Bowling, Yoga, Card Games etc. Mechanically useless, but immersion pleasing to some extent.
I really wish they wouldn't neglect masculine frame sims - I still think we need way more facial hair options in base game.
I love the tv fitness feature so i can exercise when i dont have money for fitness equipment or cant leave the house because another sim needs to keep doing a task or soemthung
i actually love everything about the fitness stuff pack except the damn free earbuds!
I have most of the packs except for the most recent ones that just came out recently including the Fitness Stuff pack. I put a gym in all my builds and most of my Sims work out regularly. Some of them even like climbing the wall.
The swatches for the fitness tights of the Fitness Pack that you kept saying are "base game" is somewhat correct. The base game comes with pink, purple and red swatches for the fitness tights. The Fitness pack adds many extra swatches to them.
With some base game items, packs add swatches to them. This is one of those cases. Like Parenthood adds swatches to a set of men's gym shorts and Eco Lifestyles adds swatches to beanie hats.
I use TV for exercise all the time in my gameplay, it is so convenient
I actually just bought this pack a few days ago just for the build (especially the lights cause those lights are one of my favorites in the game LOL) I wish they’d go back and add more content like they did with spa day though cause really the best stuff imo are a very few build items
Yes, I would love to see a build challenge with this pack and base game, or paired with Snowy Escape or what ever other pack you think it's fit with.
You used the windows and doors in one of your "every room is a different pack" builds. (You spon Fitness Stuff for the outside)
Make a house with it! ❤
that base game tank top that has the mess strip was originally in fitness. they made it base game later. it even has the same patterns as some of the other items in the pack. ---- same with the long leggings
I really like this pack. I use it all the time. I like the TV work out features so I dont need a home gym. The build mode is great for community lots or expensive looking modern homes. And I always use the clothing when selecting athletic wear.
fitness stuff is such an interesting pack. I use it very consistently, but really only the pendant light, art, and hairs. so it doesn't seem that worth it on the surface, but I probably use the light in at least half my builds so I've gotten a lot of value out of the pack.
I wish we could get stair climbers, rowing machines, exercise bikes, small trampoline, step fitness,the one where you step up and then step down,I don't know the exact name for it. Also some free weights like kettle bells or small barbells. A pullup bar might be nice too.
just had to drop a comment to say how amazing this video was.
I personally think the furniture looks incredible. Useful for building a gym but would also look really nice inside a normal house.
The bathroom set, walls and floors are very nice
I quite like that pack, I'm using the treadmill and bathroom stuff frequently, and one of the female tops are one of my best for teenagers :)
my hot take is that i really love this pack, I bought it when it came out, and I don't think it would hold up if it was released today, but for what its worth, I have no regrets that I bought it when I did, I use the cas a lot for athletic wear and I use the furniture a lot too, mostly the bathroom stuff and the gym equipment (except for that rock climbing wall, which I find ironically quite unusable, given that it's supposed to be the main feature)
I'd actually love to see you do a build challenge with this pack!
