The Sims 4: Movie Hangout Stuff Review (Lillium)
I really want to love this pack, however its main feature is entirely half-baked, so I do feel I need to overall give it the thumbs down. But please note that I do think this pack is entirely worth it as part of the bundle when on sale.
So straight to the movies, they serve no purpose, have poor interactions, have NO integration with other systems (such as holidays), and have entirely missable mood buffs (which are small enough to be pointless anyways). There is no benefit or even recognition for having Sims watch movies together. Movies can not be used to complete holiday objectives, nor to gain skills, making them worse than watching a TV channel. I want to love the movies, but they are simply bad.
Similarly, there is absolutely no point to the popcorn. It is a high calorie food, so it will make your sims fat. It has no special buffs, or any particular reason to use it.
The CAS items do have a few really nice pieces for casual clothing. The BB has a handful of very strong accent pieces, which can be a reason to buy this pack on sale alone. The massive TVs from this pack are so large that they often do not even fit into mansion builds. When I have placed "theater" lots (usually a Bar lot with a few rooms set up with these), the NPCs do not like to sit down and watch the TV. Even clubs instructed to do so will only sit down for a few minutes before getting up to mill about.
