The Sims 4: Fashion Street Kit Review (Kehallos)
Once upon a time, a junior marketing exec at EA created a Powerpoint presentation about how EA could expand their market share internationally by creating content that was actually relevant outside the US and Europe. She assumed that everyone had ignored her presentation, so she cheekily added "international brand strategy" to her résumé and started looking for a new job. But amazingly her boss had actually paid attention, and said "Actually let's do this! Where did you suggest? OK, I can sell Japan to the execs as a huge market, so we can do a big expansion there, but then you also suggest... India, South Korea, Brazil... heck, I'm so insular that I couldn't even point to those places on a map, but yeah, ok, if we can get $10 for a couple of dozen bits of clothing, then the bigwigs won't care what country they are inspired by, so let's try this as an experiment and keep an eye on the data...." And so, the Indian, Korean and Brazilian clothing packs were born...
That may not be exactly what happened, but it sure feels like it.
Now, in this pack here you have a relatively small number of clothing items, for a fairly high price.
Sounds like it should be a rip-off. It would be. Except that actually the clothing items are excellent.
Yes, I'd like more for this amount of money. But some of the women's clothing make excellent formal/party outfits, the nose ring is a great addition (why wasn't there a nose piercing in the base game?!), and the male clothing is among my most-used.
So I wanted to give this a thumbs-down for the absurd price.
But actually, it is worth a thumbs-up for the fact that it does actually look further afield for inspiration than most Sims stuff, and for the exceptional quality of the items in the pack.
