It has been years since we last got
a new stuff pack for The Sims 4, but they made a new one called Home Chef
Hustle and it has got a lot to live up to. The most recent stuff pack which
actually came out three years ago called Paranormal Stuff is widely
regarded as the best stuff pack. And because it's been so long
and the last one was so good, I feel like Home Chef Hustle
has some big shoes to fill. In this video, I'm gonna give you my
complete review of Home Chef Hustle, whether or not I think it's
worth it, what it comes with, and also how it compares to all of the
other stuff packs because those are all really important things to consider when you're
thinking about spending money on this game. Before we get started I should clarify that I was given early access to this pack
thanks to the EA Creator Network. I'm not being paid to make this video, they literally just gave me a $10
game code a couple days early. I have no reason to lie to you, I don't want
you to waste your money on a bad Sims pack. This is just my personal, honest
review of Home Chef Hustle. I think I'll start with build mode
because that's always what excites me the most about new packs, especially
when there's a new kitchen set involved. So in total there's 26 items items in build
mode which may seem a little bit small at first. The problem with kitchen sets is that
each of these counters are actually like, five to seven pieces because think about how this
one counter has an end piece and a corner piece. The island has like, three
different corner pieces, so those are all separate items as well,
it just looks like it's only one item. In comparison to Paranormal, this one has
39, but it doesn't have a kitchen set. Some of those items are like, three versions of the same painting,
two different sides of a curtain. I love the build mode here, but I do think that it's a little bit
less functional than a kitchen set. I am definitely gonna use these
cooking items a lot more often. Every single one of my houses has a kitchen, not every single one of my
houses has a paranormal room. Here's a quick overview of most
of that build stuff all laid out, and when I say that these counter
sets are actually multiple items, this is what I mean because we have all of these
different variations of the same counter and these are all technically a separate item, even if
in the build catalog it looks like just one. And honestly this kitchen set is beautiful. I think that this might be one of my
favorite kitchen sets that we've ever gotten. There's a couple things that I'm
really really enjoying about it, okay, first of all there's lights attached to
these cabinets so there's like, some LED lights underneath them so they kind of glow, and there's
also lights on the front which is kind of cool. If you look back here, there's a corner shelf and
this is something I was kind of worried about. I was hoping that we would have a separate shelf
item and then have like, a corner version of it. Instead the corner cabinet is a shelf, but this is pretty cool because
we don't have anything like this. We don't have any corner shelves. You can make
them by putting two shelves together I guess, but this is sort of a different vibe and it
also obviously has the lights underneath it. And then we have some matching shelves that
go along with it so you can build like, a full open shelving situation in your kitchen. I am so sorry to tell you that those
actually are the same swatch by the way, welcome to The Sims 4 where lighting
makes everything look weird and different. The cabinets have some really
cool different end pieces though, this is like that out outer corner piece,
the right end piece, the left end piece, there's like a small piece, so there's a lot
of different options for building a kitchen. My favorite part by far though is
the fridge and this is gonna sound really dumb, but the fridge finally
actually fits with the counters. If any of you have played
The Sims 4 for a long time, you've probably noticed and also complained
about this, but all of the other fridges, not most, all of the other fridges don't
fit by default underneath the cabinet. I've layered it on top of a counter
right now just so you can see, but the fridge is also significantly
skinnier than the cabinets are, so it doesn't fill a full tile and it also
doesn't go all the way back to the wall. Some are a little bit worse than others for this, I think this one is the most annoying to
me because this is from Parenthood so it's supposed to fit the counters and even this
one doesn't go all the way back to the wall. Like, for some reason in
the back, it's not the same. So it matches the counter in
the front, but not in the back, and it also clips with the cabinets up
top instead of like, fitting properly, so you can't make it look like, one built-in
thing unless you raise the cabinets up. And I don't know if you can tell, but technically raising it up makes
the cabinet clip with the ceiling. It's kind of weird, but this
is flush with the ceiling even though it doesn't look like it on the wall. This is something that has always bothered me, I always use this fridge because it's the
only one that is not too tall, but it's still too small on the sides and miraculously,
miraculously this fridge fits perfectly. It's a full tile all around so it's completely
flush with all of the edges everywhere. It also comes in all the same colors as the
cabinets so you can match it really nicely. This is going to become my most
used fridge, I can guarantee it. I'm gonna use this thing all the time. It's a
pretty good fridge too, it's like 2,300 simoleons, food quality nine. It's actually better than
the fridge that I normally use which is amazing. There is also a new oven which is way
more expensive, but fits in beautifully. It also obviously matches all those same
swatches. The one problem I'm having is that there isn't really a proper stainless steel, so I don't know what I'll end up using in most of
my builds, but that's a problem for future Simsie. I like how it can match the cabinet so
perfectly, kind of like a built-in oven. We also got this really nice
new sink which has like, draining stuff on either
side for washing and drying. And also this little dish drying rack to hang up above the sink which is kind
of cute for kitchen clutter. This is the kind of thing that
can work perfectly in any kitchen, even if you don't use this kitchen set this is
fantastic clutter for like, any house you build. Speaking of clutter, we have some little plates, we have like these cute berries and
cream and also some pizza making items. This is like a little spice rack, we
also got this adorable cookbook stand, it comes in a few different swatches. You could probably even use this notebook
one on like, a Sim's desk if you wanted to. I always like to think about alternative uses for
things and this could work in a lot of places. This is like a little scale, a kitchen
scale, and we also have a knife block. We haven't gotten a new knife block in
ages so that's kind of a fun detail. We did get a little range hood that also has some lighting underneath it so you
could use that to match the kitchen. These are kind of cool, these are
like shelves that hang from the ceiling so you could put them
over top of an island counter. We don't really have a lot of stuff like this,
I don't know if we have any ceiling shelves in this game and I really like it because
you could totally use this in any kitchen. You could use that for like,
cabinetry or like a room divider. It's great for small spaces. I didn't really ever consider needing
something like this and I'm excited to have it. There are a few other kitchen appliances,
I'm kind of saving the best for last. First we have this new
dishwasher and this is so weird. I've been wondering about
this because we saw in the trailer that it was kind of a compact dishwasher. All of the other ones that we have fill an
entire counter, so they're like a full tile wide. This kitchen set is supposed to be a little
bit more European inspired because the whole team that worked on it is in Europe and
so like, compact dishwasher makes sense. It's just so interesting to me how
it's only on one side of the counter. You can't switch the side, it's on either, so it
has to be like, on the right side of the counter. Honestly, I think that I kind of like that
because a lot of times in my kitchens I don't want to use a dishwasher because I don't like how
it looks when it is up against something else. Like, I don't really want to put a
dishwasher right here touching the oven, I think it's kind of weird, but
if I use this skinny dishwasher, technically it's touching the oven, but you can't
tell, you can still see part of the cabinet. This is just so much more realistic for a smaller
kitchen so I really like that this exists, even if I don't use dishwashers that
often it's still kind of a nice touch and then most importantly by far, we
have the three new kitchen appliances. So first we have the ChowBella Heart Waffle
Maker, it costs 280 simoleons, it comes in a few different swatches, kind of some various
shades of gray and black and white and neutrals. We also have the ChowBella Stand
Mixer which I am so excited about. I've been wanting kitchen
clutter like this for ages, if they had given me a fake stand mixer that
didn't even function, I wouldn't be mad. I just like the idea of putting
one on my Sim's counter, but this actually works which we'll get into. It comes in all those same swatches
and then last but not least, we have the ChowBella Portable Pizza Oven. 685 simoleons, also all those
same swatches and what's cool is you can drag these in your Sim's
inventory and bring them places. I think what I'll end up doing to be
honest is keeping this pizza oven in most of my outdoor kitchens, like I might put
a grill and a bar and a pizza oven and like, build that sort of thing for my Sims. Something I found kind of interesting is that they actually departed from
that original style they had. Back in the day, they made all of the
new appliances like this. This is the ice cream machine, we got a popcorn maker in
a different pack and it matches the same way, but these new appliances don't match
those, they just match each other. Which I'm not really mad about
because the old appliances matched this and this base game microwave is
horrendous, so I'm not complaining. And then the last thing, the last kind of
main important thing is the new tile set. We've got a really cute new backsplash, these are all the new swatches and
also this super cute new tile floor. And I'm really excited about this tile floor because I feel like this is such
a realistic community lot floor. I feel like you see this all the
time in stores and restaurants, this is like a super normal tile
floor for that sort of thing. We don't really have much like that right
now and it comes in some really cute colors, some basic neutrals, but
also like this cute green. And I am obsessed with this
backsplash, that looks so good, I've been wanting more cute little tile
backsplashes like this for so long. I'm actually sad it's just one,
but I do really, really like it. Overall, build mode is a
huge hit for me in this pack. I know I'm gonna use this
counter set all the time. This yellow color is so cute,
this super nice light green, that light green looks like my real life kitchen. It is like the exact same color as my real
life cabinets. I'm gonna have to do a new like, building my kitchen in The Sims video
because we have an actual updated color that really matches finally, but yeah,
really impressed with build mode on this one. I'm gonna be happy with pretty
much any kitchen set we get, especially when it's a full complete kitchen set
and not missing upper cabinets like some packs. I'm looking at you Realm
of Magic and Island Living, but this one is like a really, really
well done complete beautiful kitchen set. This is the kind of pack that I would buy just
for build mode because I like it that much, but I have sort of the opposite
opinion of the Create A Sim stuff. This is the kind of pack that you would
not buy just for the Create A Sim stuff. The CAS isn't bad, it's just not really versatile
or unique enough to make it stand out for me. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from
this pack, it's just a bunch of chef clothing. So technically there's seven
new hairs in this pack, but I would argue that a couple of
these are sort of the same hair. Obviously it's different swatches, but like, it's you know, it's kind of the same
thing, just in a different color. I always have really complicated
feelings about hairs like this that come with accessories in them
because I love this, it's so cute, the swatches are so cute, I'm so
glad that we have these options. I really like every single one of
the swatches, but I think the pain point for me is that I can't change the
hair color and the accessory separately, and that's not just a problem with this
hair, it's a problem with any of the hairs. Like the veil from Wedding Stories, any hair with a headband literally
ever, same thing with this one. I just wish that somehow there was
like, an accessory item that was like, an overlay and maybe by default all of them
were just like, black or white or something and then we could go in and change it so
that I could pick the fun patterns myself. Because what if I want to have this cute striped
one, but I don't want to have the cheese hair. Or what if I want to have the pizza one! Like,
there isn't a pizza swatch on this hair color. And then like, you're kind of stuck
with that color scheme if you want to use that hairstyle, it just kind of sucks. So the hair is beautiful, I love this,
I really, really love this, I love every single one of the swatches, it's more of just
a Sims 4 limitation that is the issue for me. I'll quickly show you all the swatches on this
hair too because I really, really love this, I mean they did a great job with every single one
of these colors, I think they're so cool looking. Anytime they have the pink and the blonde
I think it just looks so good together. The brighter colors have some pretty funky
color schemes on them too which is pretty fun. I also like this one with the purple a
lot. We also got this cute shorter hair, we also have this hair, and this one also has
a clip that you can't change the color of, but it doesn't bother me as much
because it's sort of neutral colors. It's a little bit easier to use. It does
come in those same colorful swatches as well. We have this little bun with a
cute headband and same thing, the headband has so many beautiful
swatches, I think these are all so pretty. I wish that I could pick the color separately
though. I'm never gonna not be sad about that, this is a problem that's been existing for years. I just, I'm gonna keep talking about
it because it still hurts me deeply, but anyway, it's really cute,
it has some nice swatches. And then last we have this shorter
one, same thing with the headband, it's kind of like a bandana though and
it comes in a bunch of cute colors. Fun thing about these hairs is that
they actually are all available for children so we've got five new hair
options for kids now in this pack. The shortest one is even available for toddlers.
Toddlers didn't get any other stuff in this pack, but children did, the kids got
this super cute little apron. I like this because one, it matches
a lot of the adult clothing, but also I think that an apron for
kids is kind of a fun little detail because you could use this for other things
too, like maybe if you wanted to have them wear an arts and crafts outfit and have
like, a messy apron for them doing art. There's just some more options with this,
and then they also got a new t-shirt. This shirt is kind of cute, there's like some
vegetable swatches, and like, some pizza swatches. It's a very simple, plain shirt, but
I really honestly kind of like it. I didn't think I was gonna care
this much about a vegetable shirt, but it's actually kind of really cute. Like I said, it's not really that much
stuff in CAS, even for the adults. There's some kind of random things,
like this carrot t-shirt which honestly has a really nice cut to it, but
most of it is very chef focused. Like, chef jacket, we've got a little
apron shirt in some cute swatches. his one's cute, but again,
it's very much screaming chef. There's only one pair of pants in this whole pack,
they're nice, they've got some decent colors, this just really isn't the kind of
thing that I'm gonna use that often. There are three full body outfits for feminine framed Sims and they're pretty
cute, like the lemon jumpsuit. Also I love how the necklace is
visible underneath the jacket, but on top of the turtleneck because
sometimes you can't see necklaces when they're wearing outfits like this, so
I appreciate them thinking of that. I am absolutely obsessed with this little outfit,
it also has some really nice messy swatches. Like, with all of the stains on the
apron, I think that's pretty fun, I'll probably use those swatches the most. This one kind of has more flour
stains on it instead of sauce stains. And then we also have a dress with an apron, same thing, this one's covered
in flour, even on the sleeves. There is one pair of shoes in the pack,
but a surprising amount of accessories. Okay, this is not an accessory,
but it is a new tattoo, it comes in a couple swatches,
it's like some cooking utensils. For accessories, we got some nice
gloves for using in the pizza oven. They're like, nice thick gloves
that'll keep your Sims hands safe, and there's also like, some
plastic looking gloves. These are weird, I didn't really anticipate
getting something like this, but it's kind of fun. There are three new earrings: first,
there's these little whisk dangly earrings. We've got these pizza earrings which
I'm probably going to use all the time. And then also these little knife studs. Those are
so funny, they're kind of subtle, but I feel like the knife studs are probably gonna be my most used
accessory out of this pack which is a surprise. I wasn't expecting those.
They just kind of amuse me. We also got this little whisk
necklace which okay, you can't see. All right, there, we've got
this little whisk necklace, it matches the earrings perfectly
in those same metal swatches. And lastly we have a new hat, I guess the new
hat looks kind of weird with this hairstyle, but these are all the colors that it comes in. This this one kind of looks like pizza. There's not really a ton of different
stuff for masculine framed Sims, lots of the same things, lots of overlap. We do have this cute shirt with a
towel over it, it has kind of an apron. They've got the same pants. For
full body we have the same things, but also a couple other options, this one's kind
of cute because it's got a pen in the pocket. They come in all the same
colors though pretty much. I really do like the stained versions, and
this is the last thing so there's not really a ton of Create a Sim, like I said, it's very
small CAS and it's not very versatile CAS. It's like the kind of thing you would use
for very specific home chef circumstances. I guess if you have like Get to Work
or Dine Out or Cool Kitchen stuff, these things might tie in nicely with those
packs for other retail sort of situations. Maybe if your sim is a chef, you might
want to give them an apron outfit, I just -- I don't really see myself
using these things all that often. They are really cute, we just already
have a couple aprons in the game and I never give them to my Sims so I don't
really see myself using these either. It's hard to criticize is the pack
for that though because this is like, the perfect CAS for this pack. It's just not the perfect CAS for
me, and you might think differently. Most importantly though, there are
actually two new aspirations in this pack. We've got the brand new appliance whiz
aspiration underneath the food category and we also have the new market magnate
aspiration underneath the fortune category. And that leads us into probably the most
important part of this review, the gameplay. I feel like this pack is exactly what
I've been looking for in a stuff pack. Every single time I make a pack
review like this I'm always talking about replayability and how this
pack can fit into my everyday gameplay. Because for me, for a pack to be
worth it I have to want to use it a lot and it has to fit in really
easily to my average Sims household. So to give an example, things like Realm
of Magic are really cool and really fun, but I just don't ever use them. I don't have like my average
everyday Sim be a spellcaster. I don't really use magic, I have to go out of
my way to use magic, but then you think about things like Growing Together where it adds
a whole bunch of gameplay for infants. And pretty much every single one of
my Sims eventually has kids so all of that infant milestone stuff fits in
really nicely to my everyday gameplay, and it really expands upon what I always do. And this stuff pack is a really good example of expanding on things that I
already like to do and enjoy. Obviously pretty much every
single one of my Sims cooks, right, like they all have to eat, so
a pack that adds new recipes and new ways to cook and new things to do in
the kitchen is really useful for me. I've literally made entire videos
about wanting a small appliances kit. Granted, in that kit I was talking about like,
toasters, but this pizza oven and making pizza for my Sims and making waffles is really fun and
fits very nicely into my everyday Sims games. And that's just the home chef part, not even the hustle part because we haven't
even talked about selling this food yet. I would like to show you some of the
actual new recipes first though and who better to test out the new waffle
maker than the Pancakes household. So I've got Bob and Eliza here,
Bob's kind of scared right now, I'm sorry buddy, but I wanted to
show you the new waffle maker. So on this you just click cook like you
would any other appliance and it pops up with this little menu where you can
pick which waffles you'd like to make. Obviously just like any cooking skill, the higher
level you are, the more stuff that you can make. We've got things like plain
waffles, pumpkin spice waffles, apple bacon, cured fish, saffron, hearts desire. Also the highest skill one is pleasantly
unpleasant, which requires trash fruit. I appreciate them sort of going
to great lengths to incorporate some of those more unused things into this pack. In the new fortune aspiration, one of the things
you have to do to finish it is resurrect a ghost by selling ambrosia, so to do that you
have to max level 10 both cooking skills, regular and gourmet, you've gotta fish up an
angelfish, you've got to get a potion of youth, you have to craft the ambrosia, and
then you have to sell it to a ghost, so it's a little bit more difficult than your
like, average little baby tutorial aspiration, and it also requires you to do some of those
lesser used things in the game which I appreciate. They both are still kind of pack
tutorials, they have you like, buying a kitchen appliance and practicing
prepping cooking, but the last levels actually require some interesting things
like getting trash fruit for example. And something really cool about making these
waffles, first of all it looks amazing. Like the animations are kind of
cool, but he stops, so he like, poured the batter in and he can leave
and do other things until it's ready. It takes like, 20 minutes to be finished
and all of the appliances work like that. So if I wanted him to come prep
ingredients or make a pizza, he can start working on it and then walk away
and keep maybe tending to his stall or like, washing the dishes until the thing beeps when
it's finished, which in three, two, one, ding. Okay, then he can come collect the waffles so you can sort of multitask with the
cooking a little bit more easily. With most of the cooking in this game, they
have to just stand there in front of the oven the whole time, so I appreciate the realism
of being able to just let the stand mixer run. Also the food looks amazing, like
when you compare this -- I'm sorry, I don't want to be mean, but when you
compare this stuff to the original food that came in the base game when it first came
out, like the quality of the base game food, like picture the garden salad in your
head, okay? It's like a pile of green mush. None of the base game original food looks
appetizing in the slightest, this looks delicious. And the detail as well, you can tell it's
pumpkin spice, there's like, cinnamon sticks. I did just cheat his skill,
I'm sorry, it's for science. These are the mushroom waffles,
like just look at how cute that is, they're little heart-shaped
waffles, it's so good, it's so good. A lot of this pack both in the furniture style,
but also in the food is very European influenced. Like I mentioned, the whole team
that made this is based in Europe so they were kind of channeling
that when they were making it. These waffles are a good example and
for a lot of these more traditional styles of waffles, they actually wrote
descriptions teaching us about them. So in this one, the chanterelle mushroom
also known as the gold of the forest is a beloved delicacy and the lingonberry is a
common side dish to venison and meatballs. They even wrote one for chicken
and waffles about how it's sort of a traditional thing here in the U.S.. And I just think this is so cool,
when they teach us about food like this it's such a cool way to share
culture and interact with people. Like with this -- while cured fish is usually
eaten with boiled potatoes for Easter, Midsummer, and Christmas, why not try
something new and put it on your waffles? I know I mention this every time
there's a new recipe in The Sims, but I just think that this is so
amazing because when I was a kid there were so many foods in The Sims that
I had literally never heard of or seen. And so my first experience
with it was in The Sims. I used to think that carbonara was
a fake made up thing for The Sims 3. Like, I thought that goopy
carbonara was a fake food. Granted, they called it goopy carbonara
so like, it was a little weird. Or like, lobster thermidor,
I'd never heard of that before. So just having these little descriptions
and I'm just picturing my childhood self being so fascinated by this,
and I'm really glad they did it. So those are the waffles, we've got
obviously quite a few different options here. There is also a pizza maker and in this pizza
maker we can make all kinds of different pizzas. There's also a couple weird
ones like this curious pizza. Ever since Laszlo Curious had the ingenious
idea to put extraterrestrial fruit on a pizza, this unique dish has become
a Strangetown delicacy. A single slice will focus your brain waves and
has been known to attract unexpected visitors. And you need dough and alien fruit to make it.
This one works the same way, first of all he's like, tossing dough and then he puts it into the
oven, and he can just walk away and leave it. I will say, I have had this catch on fire
so just warning you, it is very possible. I'm kind of glad because there are
open flames in there, it makes sense. I love a fire hazard in The Sims 4, we know this. And then when it finishes you can serve
it, and then he puts it in like a little pizza box and he can set it out on the
counter just like when you order a pizza. Isn't that the coolest thing
ever? And last but certainly not least we also have the brand new stand mixer. Now the way this works is prepping ingredients to
then use them for the other two cooking objects, and it actually works with any cooking,
you can use prepped ingredients in like, a lot of other recipes on regular
fridges and stoves as well. Well, if the cooking works. It takes
a long time to open, but for example, the vegetable dumplings require prepped
veggies and if you use the prepped food, it makes it cheaper to cook, but it also reduces
the cooking time, so you can make stuff faster. So you can make batter, you can make dough, you
can prep veggies, you can prep cookie dough. For some things you might
need meat, like for a pizza, so you can prep the meat and then
use it to cook the pizza faster. I think I'll just start with dough. And again, he can just let mixer run, he can
just put it in there, leave it be, it takes like, 15-20 minutes and then he comes back, grabs it,
he gets five doughs, and then we can make pizza. What are you doing sleeping? We have pizza to
make, come collect the prepped ingredients. But this is pretty cool because you could
use this for cooking anything in the game. Like, the prepped ingredients are
for a lot of different recipes. Maybe I'll make a garden pizza. Just -- how
cool is this! I'm so excited about this. I might stick that dough in the fridge
though because I don't want it to spoil. And fine Bob, you can sleep because
tomorrow we're going to sell all this pizza. I guess the main feature of this pack which
we haven't really gotten to yet is obviously the food stand, so we have the new Anywhere
Any Fare Food Stand and you can buy this, put it in your Sim's inventory and literally
bring this anywhere and set up a food stall. You can also slot stuff to it
so I could slot a pizza oven, I could slot a waffle maker, if I wanted
to bring a mixer, and then you could use these to keep cooking while you're out
and then keep selling while you're there. It comes in a handful of really,
really cute different colors, some kind of generic ones like this plain
black one, there's a pretty rainbow one. This one is very cutesy and waffle focused,
this one is obviously very pizza focused. Bob Pancakes is obviously going to be a waffle
salesman so we'll sort of deck it out for that. You can even change the name of
the food stall. Pancake Waffles. And then you can pick a little logo. There's like
a cupcake, there's an octopus, there's a lemon. I might pick the cupcake. That part doesn't really
do anything, it's just kind of cute for you. I'll drag all those waffles that I made and then
we can head out, maybe to the park or something? Oh, how about the museum? There's
probably rich people at the museum. You can do this on any lot, I'm pretty
sure you could even do it on like, someone else's house if you wanted to. You can just drag food into here. It
works like a fridge so it keeps it cool and also keeps it from not
spoiling for like, three days. You can also mark up the prices, I've learned that
you can mark them up to 300% and they will buy it. Bella, my first customer, thank you very much. Well, you can give a sales pitch, you can also
convince to buy which actually works very well. And I can try and sell her, for
example, my cured fish waffles. Which she ignored and used her
phone! What is wrong with you? Buy my waffles. Okay, I guess I might have marked it up too high.
Let me put it lower, sorry everyone. I got a little bit ahead of
myself there. Buy my waffles! There we go, my first sale, 64 simoleons.
Anyway, you can just kind of stand here, make your sales pitches, make some waffles on the
side and they will slowly buy all your stuff up. It's honestly not a bad way of making
money, I don't want to spoil anything, but um, I'm posting a rags to riches video tomorrow
and I made like, 80,000 simoleons doing this. But that's pretty much the whole gameplay, I think... I haven't tested this
yet, but I think that kids can help. This is really bad, but I'm gonna steal Nancy
and then make her into a child so I can test it. Oh, okay, maybe not, sorry. I told a lie, my bad. But that's pretty much all the
gameplay that comes in the pack, it's the new appliances and the selling feature. The home chef and the hustle. So what are my final thoughts on this? So what are my final thoughts on this? Is it worth buying? When I think about that, I can't help but compare it to
all of the other stuff packs. Which I think makes sense because we're trying to
compare it to the other $10 things in this game, and oh my god, by far this is one of
their best stuff packs they've ever made. We have a pretty direct comparison too with the
Cool Kitchen stuff pack because it was like, you know, kitchen stuff and
a small kitchen appliance, but the difference with that is that the
kitchen furniture was worse, it came with just one appliance instead of three, and that
was it, you just made ice cream, that was it. In this pack, you can make waffles, you can
make pizzas, there's a ton of new recipes. It also has the new stand mixer which you can
use for regular recipes just like, on the stove. And it has a new job where you
can sell all of these things. It's got some really nice hairstyles. So by far, no question, this is one of their
best stuff packs of all time. So if you were going to buy a stuff
pack, I definitely recommend that you buy this one over most of the others just
because it's got so much more stuff in it. And I know for a fact, I'm gonna
have my Sims use this a lot. I mentioned it earlier, but I can
already see myself putting that pizza oven in a ton of my Sims builds and I'm
definitely going to use the stand mixer. I've never really considered
wanting a waffle maker, but now that I've seen them
all, they're really good. I love having more recipes and more things for my Sims to cook because I use
the cooking skill so often. So this just fits in so nicely to my regular
gameplay, both for like my average Sims households who just happen to cook at home,
but also for like, my rags to riches gameplay because I love doing things that are like,
sort of challenging to make money for my Sims. I made this joke already, but this pack
really was made for Stanley Humphrey, he is a food entrepreneur and he is thriving. So I think my final thoughts are that I really
like this pack and I think it's worth buying. And the other huge bonus of stuff
packs compared to all of the kits that we've been getting recently is
this pack has way more stuff in it. I was gonna say it's only double the
price, but it's still kind of expensive, ten dollars is a lot, but for ten dollars instead
of five, you get triple the amount of stuff. You get CAS things, you get build things,
and most importantly you get more gameplay. So how am I gonna sit here and be
like, oh yeah, buy the new build kit or whatever when we have this amazing
stuff pack that has way more stuff in it. So I think my final thoughts are that
I do I think this pack is worth it, especially compared to all of the other packs. Both the old stuff packs and
all the kits we've been getting, this stuff pack is way more worth your money. Again, still kind of expensive, 10 bucks is a
lot to drop on The Sims especially considering how many packs there are and how much money
you've probably already spent on the Sims, but what I mean to say is that if you are
interested in this pack, if you have the money, and if you've been thinking about buying
a new pack, this is definitely a good one. The ridiculous price point of Sims DLC is a whole
other thing and that's not the stuff pack's fault. But yeah, I think that's my review. My review is that I really liked it, I've
had so much fun playing with this pack. I swear this year is like, the year
of fan service to The Sims community. We asked for babies, we got babies, we asked for a family pack, we got a family
pack, we asked for horses, we got horses. I've been wanting more kitchen stuff, I've made entire videos about wanting more
kitchen stuff, and we got kitchen stuff! It makes me excited for whatever
the next expansion pack is gonna be because fingers crossed it'll be good. But I think on that note, I am
gonna end this video right here. Hopefully you found this video helpful in terms
of whether or not you want to buy this pack. It officially releases tomorrow, I was given early access so I was able
to post this video a little bit early. And tomorrow I'm gonna post a video really playing
with it and like, doing some rags to riches stuff with Stanley Humphrey so stay tuned for that and
make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it. And with that, I am going to catch
you all tomorrow, okay? Bye everybody. Oh my god, I might make pizza tonight
for dinner at home to celebrate. It's been a while since I made pizza dough
from scratch so that could be kind of fun.
