Yeah as much as I like having a bar I want a complete and non corner cut kitchen because 9 times out of 10 the bar whilst it matches the aesthetic of the pack it comes with it does not go with the counters which irritates me to no end and now they are getting lazy and just giving us old items that have been recolored.
I think you’ll always get a bar with a new world because they always make a bar in the new world.. and it’s themed specifically for each world. They already make it for the theming so they may as well give it to people.
Everything is nice, BUT what actually really bothers me is this beautiful, extravagant bathroom set does not include a matching BATH. If we wanted to do more historical build, people in the era of the Art Nouveau style id not actually use showers that much, baths were dominant. So for me, the lack of bath in this set is the notorious ball pit of this pack.
@@coraoso first thing I imagined while watching this was about a dozen of people scrambled around one desk, looking intensely into the computer monitor with widened eyes, profusely sweating to the point where their heads look like they've just been washed, their hearts racing while waiting to see what'll come out of semaj's mouth next, and at the end of the review, all of them exhaling loudly as if they just finished tour de France so they needed a moment to recollect themselves, some maybe even crying of happiness. Celebration takes place, someone pops the champagne and another person wheels in a chocolate cake. They just completed an ultimate goal. Making Semaj happy with new content and getting a positive review as a reward. Legend says this happens only once in each Sims new game franchise.
I'm quite disappointed there aren't more little decoration objects, especially in a magical context, to clutter the houses some more in theme. :/ That being said, the objects that ARE in the pack, seem really nice and i can't wait to build my first witches home!
There are actually a lot of base-game and other pack items that you can do with this! Like I have a magical build right now, and I don't own this magical pack.
Ohhhh I actually want James to collab with lilsimsie now that he already mentioned her in his video! Just imagine them sitting there and ranting about the kitchen counters for like an hour lol, I would totally be here for it
I know she was on his podcast, Crossing the Streams, at some point but I think it was a while ago. I feel like ranting may have been involved but I can't 100% remember.
Art Nouveau was actually the style that the elven buildings / furniture are based upon. And it fits perfectly. This is the only art style for me that really incorporates natural elements into the items. Like those "flowing" lines, which resemble tree branches etc.
Lol, I was expecting more of a modern European classical style of build items or at least some of that type added to the pack, instead of this style. Which seems a bit more of either extreme Goth or Wizard style.
So I love the objects. The beds and dresser are by far my favorite. However, I am disappointed about not having matching cabinets to the kitchen counters and no bath tub to match the bathroom. D:
I do love how art deco/nouveau this whole pack is, especially since Vampires and Romantic Garden Stuff took care of most of the victorian and gothic looking items already that I'd want for a witchy build.
I think you can sit at the Abra-ca-Table with bar stools (like the high top Dine Out tables). Or at least that’s how I saw one set up in one of the “interesting-looking” Glimmerbrook premade homes. It was a tiny detail I saw and none of the youtubers appeared to notice.
My favourite things from this video: 1. THANK U EA for listening and adding plain white and black recolours to items! 2. The middle section of this rug :D lmao 3. baby crib
The big round windows reminded me of The Hobbit, i loved the buy/build of this pack! so much detail and the designs are so gorgeous, almost makes me forgive them for not having anything for kids/todds.
I really like you sims videos. When I saw you play the sims 4, it made me go out and buy the game. I have been playing it since Christmas last year and I can not wait to get this game pack and I also can not wait to make my sim a mermaid and I have been playing a sims who is making money like you rag to riches videos as it really inspired me to play from zero money 😍
Hi James. ..i love watching your build overview cause you really take your time to make us discoverer every details of each new pack. . You are awsome😙👍
I prefer more realism in my gameplay and I wasn’t going to buy this pack; however, the build/buy items had me at hello! You gave me some ideas for builds. Can’t wait to use the new windows and doors!
PixelatedTwix I was on the fence about the storyline and didn’t really want another RPG with magic tied in, but the BB items were too good to pass up - they can be glam, they can be eco... they’re freakin great.
honestly i would really prefer if they added recolors to existing items like with the IL toilet, the catalog would be a lot more organized and easier to find items i think
I really love the b&b stuff. Not only match the doors and windows that come in really nice swatches, they also come in plain swatches. That one big door on the right with the whimsical wood inlay or elegant gold inay, I can really see myself use this. And that four poster bed is just epic. And can we talk about a one tile dresser? So useful in many builds! And small sidetables are also a big plus for me, a lot of those look really chunky next to sofas, so it's really useful to get more dainty ones.
WHAT! There's Jugendstil architecture in the Sims 4 now? As a Viennese I'm very happy. Very happy indeed. I loved that one window in the Sims 2 lmao Nice nice nice
I think that if you turn the big circular window around it will just be a circle so I’m not mad at it ✌🏼and then just hide that bottom thing behind some table or plants or whatever
Jaaames! I spit coffee when you placed that midsection of rug, I started laughing so hard! I have to admit, it was before you said anything, so it wasn’t just you who noticed. Hahaha!
I really love the big round rug, the double bed, obviously the cauldron, but im *really* happy about the bassinet, we only have i think 3 in game? Now we have 4, it's extremely rare we get new stuff for infants since they don't do much but we only seem to gey new bassinets when we have a new occult type
You drop this, just as I have to go out of the house, but now I have something to watch while eating dinner :D I did dream tonight that you did not have time to film this because you were moving to Sweden 😂
Great James! I love the inspiration the team took from art noveau, arts décoratifs in particular Hector Guimard and the way you have shown them to us. The balaustrade and escritoire - look it up guys!!!!!
Out of pure laziness I watched a 50 minute ad during this video (it was really sweet tbh, brought a tear to my eye) but it didnt buffer once until I got to the actual video when it become super spotty and I just needed to share that, lol. Still love and always look forward to your videos!
right? I was literally just about to go to bed because it was half past eleven but then I saw a newly posted video and well...now it's almost midnight. woops
This pack is great! Though rags to witches might be difficult, I've had a problem where if I make the potions they're not worth anything!! However if you buy the potions either from Casters Alley or in debug, then they'll be worth money so you can sell them!?! I think, much like the counters, this may have been overlooked! I would love to make a retail store and sell the potions I make!!
Most of build buy looks stunning to me. My only wish is that there would be spells and so on that did something we can't already do in the game. I need new unique gameplay to match the beautiful worlds. :)
Love the stainglasses with the roses design. Reminds me of beauty and the beast, the animation. The designs appear when the story is told at the beginning of the movie
Glad you pointed out the cabinets James, I don't think we got cabinets with the last EP either though we did get those shelving units but still. Need more cabinets that match! Besides that annoyance, great video and I agree ... I also really love the stuff in this pack!
I love all the green options in this pack! And they picked really pretty greens and the beds with emerald green with the wood color. Ugh! LOVE IT! I love green lol
Im waiting for the lp :P I personally love the items this game pack gave us. As well as the CAS. The style is awesome and I feel like fits some of the other packs, too.
I hate that they cut corners with the kitchen so often. Just forgo the trillionth bar and concentrate on a good kitchen set, please.
Yeah as much as I like having a bar I want a complete and non corner cut kitchen because 9 times out of 10 the bar whilst it matches the aesthetic of the pack it comes with it does not go with the counters which irritates me to no end and now they are getting lazy and just giving us old items that have been recolored.
Wow, people are really mad about this kitchen.
Exactly I personally NEVER use bars at all! Other than once or twice they are useless for me
I think you’ll always get a bar with a new world because they always make a bar in the new world.. and it’s themed specifically for each world. They already make it for the theming so they may as well give it to people.
You dont even see the cabinets anyways i prefer a island and counter then nothing at all
Everything is nice, BUT what actually really bothers me is this beautiful, extravagant bathroom set does not include a matching BATH. If we wanted to do more historical build, people in the era of the Art Nouveau style id not actually use showers that much, baths were dominant. So for me, the lack of bath in this set is the notorious ball pit of this pack.
Oh my god, I hadn’t even though of that. Hopefully the vampire bath might work with this pack?
you're so right?! it would've been perfect to add in the bath 🤦♀️
I may be wrong in saying this but I’m pretty sure in Deli’s video there was a bath 🤷♀️
I thought I saw a bath in one of the other videos too
Yes but this wasn't a historic pack.
I like the rose stain glass door, it reminds me of beauty and the beast 🌹
Eliza Peek was thinking the same thing
pleaseeeeee do a rags to witches (riches, haha) series!!!!!!!!
Column Bigwallet is ready, lets gooo
the name is super funny, I hope, he uses it!

You've done it now, James. Now you have to make Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
He doesnt have the skills to do that. Maybe he'll see one on the gallery though
The one and only time it's appropriate to use the mid-section pattern of the runner rug!
I second this!

ivanasedits but only his good side... the other you tubers don’t seem so happy....
His oppinion of the ROM bar might change that. It was fun when him and Doc were discussing it on twitch.
idk, we didnt see his gameplay review yet. just cause he likes B/B doesnt mean he'll like rest

missing island counter? my first magic stuff pack incoming
Teph god no dont give them ideas
Missing cabinets too... = my second magic stuff
A tip to tip rug and a Phallic faucet. I look forward to building
@Hasiger Hase 👀 part of me hopes you're joking but its the internet so I can't tell if you're serious lol
I'm quite disappointed there aren't more little decoration objects, especially in a magical context, to clutter the houses some more in theme. :/
That being said, the objects that ARE in the pack, seem really nice and i can't wait to build my first witches home!
Miss Funilla that’s a good shout actually. I didn’t think of that but a small cauldron or fancy bottles would be really nice
There are actually a lot of base-game and other pack items that you can do with this! Like I have a magical build right now, and I don't own this magical pack.
I guess there will be a lot in the Debug Mode..maybe.
Very true, especially because people tend to see witches and wizards' homes very cluttered...
I was thinking there would be a spellbook stand, or at least a piece of furniture to put a book on and pretend
James not disappointed by the sims? I'm shook
Right? He cries about literally everything.
The wallpapers, the round windows, the runner. What video did you watch? 😂
rjyoutube lets be honest, it’s really easy to be disappointed in the sims 4
A N the sims 4 is a consistently mediocre game lol
oof this was a joke I love James
James is wearing a jacket, and for some reason it makes him look different lol
EXACTLY I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME WHO SAW IT-
@@ayoooo99 he's fancier now. "Lé Semaj"
@@ihatejellybeans7375 it really makes his eyes and beard pop out more, he reminds me of a cool biker dad. I dig it and the name you gave him. 🔥🤘🏼
Omfg I read this comment and now I can’t unsee it!!
I think he looks really good in it! It’s flattering
even this house which is just a bunch of content from a realm of magic looks better than some of the houses in the new world....
I am seriously loving the Art Nouveau aesthetics of the magic pack. Gosh I am looking forward to seeing what they've done with all of this :D
The odd floor runner section...then James says 'make it as big as you want' LMAO
ROUND WINDOWS!Come on James. Make a hobbit house!
Ohhhh I actually want James to collab with lilsimsie now that he already mentioned her in his video! Just imagine them sitting there and ranting about the kitchen counters for like an hour lol, I would totally be here for it
Gabik 333 just they sat down talking how the sims could be inproved 🤣🤣
I know she was on his podcast, Crossing the Streams, at some point but I think it was a while ago. I feel like ranting may have been involved but I can't 100% remember.
I'm disappointed by the lack of matching toddler bed. As usual
And art nouveau is a beautiful architectural style, but kind of wasted if we can't have city buildings matching the theme.
hopefully some sims cc creators make a matching cabinet, bath, and child and toddler beds...
Toddler stuff is just generally forgotten. Barely any packs have toddler items
Sims 4 in a nutshell: 10 counters (five look exactly the same) and 50+ bars
1000 toilets and 1 fan
On that taller end table you can snap bar stools.
I can’t wait to see max power become an evil wizard
honestly this pack seems perfect for lord of the rings styled builds tbh
Yep!! I immediately thought of Rivendell. What a dream for LotR nerds
Art Nouveau was actually the style that the elven buildings / furniture are based upon.
And it fits perfectly.
This is the only art style for me that really incorporates natural elements into the items.
Like those "flowing" lines, which resemble tree branches etc.
Yaaassssss. 🧝♀️ 🧝♂️
That’s totally what I thought too when I saw these items and I am glad I am not alone. 😊
Lol, I was expecting more of a modern European classical style of build items or at least some of that type added to the pack, instead of this style. Which seems a bit more of either extreme Goth or Wizard style.
So I love the objects. The beds and dresser are by far my favorite. However, I am disappointed about not having matching cabinets to the kitchen counters and no bath tub to match the bathroom. D:
I think that door with the massive frame would be really nice for a fancy green house! Something to mix with like, romantic garden stuff.
James is like the harsh critic and Realm of Magic is the ratatouille
i SO wish they would’ve made stain glass roofing for this, how perfect would that have been :,o
I love this pack, but doesn't the coffee table just look like a recolored get famous table? I would've preferred like a tree table or smth
i didnt notice the rug until you pointed it out and now i cannot unsee. thanks !!!!! i hate it !!!!
Omg that small end rug 😂😂 HOW did they not see what it looks like??😂 oh my god
RIGHT before you said something about the rug, I was like “uhhhh.. does anyone else see that..?” 😂
VERRY NICE
The art style for the build items is 1920's Art Nouveau.
Yay someone noticed :D
It's kinda fun in what ways the style of this pack is described. 8D
Btw, Art Nouveau is around 1900. 1920 and 30's is Art Déco. ^_^
It’s going to go great with Vintage Glamor. 🤓👍🏻
@@SidMaron as sn art nouveau fan I'm glad you pointed this out 😊
I do love how art deco/nouveau this whole pack is, especially since Vampires and Romantic Garden Stuff took care of most of the victorian and gothic looking items already that I'd want for a witchy build.
I would use the circle window maybe for a underwater bedroom, or maybe a super modern earth house design.
the fact that you can make a big vat of mac & cheese in the cauldrons makes the pack 100% worth it for me
I think you can sit at the Abra-ca-Table with bar stools (like the high top Dine Out tables). Or at least that’s how I saw one set up in one of the “interesting-looking” Glimmerbrook premade homes. It was a tiny detail I saw and none of the youtubers appeared to notice.
That rose double door is from my deams!! from beauty and the beast dreams
I would buy this pack solely for that bassinet lemme tell ya
Best decision honestly
100%
Katye Beard It kinda reminds me of Sims 3 in the store there was a kind of nature fairy 🧚♀️ themed baby/ child room set I got.
I'm just waiting until someone makes house from Charmed with this pack.
I like the idea. But I don't think it's the same style. o:
Search Halliwell Manor on the Gallery :)
Omg yes!

Like so James can see!
Ansel he did this. No neutrals build challenge
@@kayliealexis3526 right, but this challenge is only for black and white. He could still use browns/beige, etc.
Love it! Very Art Nouveau (edit)! You could make a Great Gatsby house, especially with that bathroom!

its Art Nouveau. The art deco style is way more geometrical
Thanks to the experts!! 💕
I love the emerald green! I wish it came with the black beds though. Black and green is just so beautiful 😍🖤

WHAT! There's Jugendstil architecture in the Sims 4 now?

@@SidMaron nothing against French people but they already stole the Kipferl from us.

I am getting a clear lord of the rings Wibe in this pack.
The doors and windows reminds me of the art nouveau style! They look so great.
I love that style so much.
High Elven architecture was inspired by it very strongly.
I think that if you turn the big circular window around it will just be a circle so I’m not mad at it ✌🏼and then just hide that bottom thing behind some table or plants or whatever
Those windows alone are gorgeous 😩
You should do a build with every bar in the Sims 4!
Jaaames! I spit coffee when you placed that midsection of rug, I started laughing so hard! I have to admit, it was before you said anything, so it wasn’t just you who noticed. Hahaha!
If we’re gonna point out the counters are just recolors, we need to address the fact that the bar is also just a recolor. A whole kitchen of recolors.
The style is clearly art nouveau and it's beautiful. Love it! They need to add more decorative architectural elements though!
I agree. This really needs Art Nouveau on the outside as well.
Nice build and buy stuff 👍🏼except for not having cabinets for counters🤔🤷🏼♀️
Felicia Santiago cabinets,bath,stuff for kids...counters are just recoloured as is table....

it's almost like the Sims team heard the term "art nouveau" and just stopped there
Nice jacket
Some of the furniture makes me think of elves or hobbits, so at least it can be used for a bunch of different builds.
The brick wall without the side columns is in the base game and the green and blue swatches were just added in the last update.
I know this probably isn't what I'm supposed to take away from this, but that new crib is STUNNING

I do older style builds. This has art deco written all over it.....I cant wait!
I feel like James could renovate Max Power's parents' house (or build another similar house) using some of the newer packs we have
That rug is interesting. The back of the loveseat looks like a brassiere...
