I find it so crazy how TS4 is so bad at making trendy/in style clothes. They basically missed the whole cycle of the high rise pants. Low rise pants are already kind of coming back in style and it feels like it was quite recently that we started getting pants that don't show our sims' butt crack.

I remember playing the demo for a couple days, then giving in and going to the store with my dad later.
I'll tell you what though, these selection of early base game clothes definitely makes it noticeable how obsessed they are with neons. Neon magenta, neon blue, neon green EVERYWHERE, it was not cool even in 2014, I promise. It took them this many years and collabs to realize people want neutrals.

I remember being blown away by the cas demo

I hand painted the Sims 4 original plumbob and it took me 4+ hours. I used acrylics and blended every green I had together to get the effect. Not to brag, but it's perfect. THEN THEY CHANGED IT 😭

„We only had 18 skintones“

Well, for me who skipped TS3 and came straight from sims 2 (with 4 Skintones) this was incredible 😅.

57 add-ons later and we don't even have twice as many traits as we did in the cas demo 💀

i just remember playing for HOURS in the demo before my grandma finally bought me the full game after it was out for a year. she said it was sad i only played like half the game😭💀

I do want to clarify that in the Sims 3 you could still go into advanced mode for editing facial features. Just that all the options were controlled by sliders. The options were still there.

The sweater dress is a mood and I would still wear it nowadays. I've always been a fan of it.

8:44 kayla: "i don't think i've ever given a sim these gloves"

stanley humphrey: am i a joke to you 😭

I was so impressed with this demo back in the day, then was so disappointed with the game on release. so, I continued playing sims 3 until literally June 2021 🤣

This video reminds me how upset I was with The Sims 4 CAS when I just started playing it sometime after launch. There were no curly hairstyles that in-between slightly wavy and fully dense/afro curls, so no way to get hair like mine or in general the type of curly hair so common where I come from. Like my ethnicity did not exist as all in the game lol

I remember when i first got the game like 5 years ago, I thought CAS was amazing, but than I discovered cc, they updated the gendering system of ts4, they discovered what subtle was, and they updated hair colors and skin tones. So looking back i really realize how incredibly lackluster the old CAS really was.

I remember going to Gamescom in Germany and standing in line to play the sims 4 demo. A woman came up to me and asked me if I wanted to partake in a quiz and ofc I said yes immediately. She asked me what the name of the "thing above sims heads is" ... i immediately answered "plumbob" and my price was skipping the waiting line 😀that was so awesome. At least 1+ hr saved. And I got to play the demo which was so amazing! 😀 I see it in my origin libraby all the time but never thought of revisiting it. What an amazing idea kayla ! 🙂

As I was driving, today, I locked eyes with my own stuffed Snap cat, on the dash, and realized my partner had turned him around to mess with me. His face told me a story of hope, perseverance and melancholy. I, then, turned him back around to get back to the view of cat cheeks I was used to.
What a day.

I kinda wish there would be more walk options tho
Its kinda fun and would give the sims more personality too

I like how the Erratic trait was called Insane and that straitjacket icon was changed not that long ago... 😂

This will be so different. Remember no ladders and no auto window door placement in walls etc

God you pulled that Sweater Dress out ( 7:18 ) and I was transported back to Lifesimmer's OG sims 4 lets play, I think the sims name was Candace Monet and she wore that. And then I put every sim in that for a year because it was the cutest thing we had in CAS

I have dim memories of James doing a throwback to the original release version of the game, maybe for the 5th anniversary or something?
