My honest review of The Sims 4 Goth Galore Kit

The Sims 4 Goth Kit review! My honest thoughts and opinions about the latest Sims 4 goth fashion kit.

[Jo.j.-lv]

In sims 3 they knew that goth needs hair. Hair does so much to style.

[Elaini-Gaming]

I think the Vampires pack already covered some of the goth fitting stuff. Also, I don't think they have fully done their research on how diverse the subculture really is. Victorian, cyber, lolita, batcave etc.

[arantxaortiz]

The pink ones are supposedly for "pastel goth" but the devs don't understand that pastel goth isn't just a lighter shade of typical goth outfits 🤣

[Aleera]

As someone who was VERY goth as a kid and teenager this is incredibly disappointing lol

[weronikawyroba]

So THIS is the highly anticipated voted kit?! You goth to be kidding me... 🙄

[giggel]

idk, when I think of goth I usually think of 90's goth, spiky hair, big sleeves, definitely the boots they included in game too, but also gothic Lolita would've been cool, the cas in this is giving very blade/underworld vibes which isn't necessarily bad just I would've liked more variety in other gothic genres

[emiliomurkmere]

i really REALLY wish we'd gotten more trad goth stuff. trad goth is like the most prominent style and i feel like this would read as a goth kit so much better if it had more trad goth stuff. the promo art from when we voted for the kits was really really good.

I'm a ex goth of 8 years (just changed styles but still love the goth subculture), this kit is abysmal. Majority of these clothes are Cybergoth, Metal head or just regular alt styles which there's already plenty in the game for clothing. Actual Goth clothing would be Trad goth or romantic goth ya know the style aspect of being a goth in the first place. Honestly the lack of accessories and no hairstyles is shocking, as the game lacks gothic hairstyles at all and personally i had to download maxis match hair styles to get actual decent gothic hairstyles. Yeah sure the vampire pack had some but that was more Victorian goth. The makeup is horrible (which i'm not surprised EA always messes up the make up) and honestly i just feel like this pack is a sham as usual for EA. Goths have had a giant role in the sims, both style, theming and lore wise but for them to put this little effort into this pack about goths is honestly shows how little research they do into the clothing styles, trends or anything.

they gave us pink swatches because one they wanted a more colorful one and two so you could make a pastel goth

[MadameCirce]

You started the video saying you're not goth, but as a goth myself I think your observations are spot on. It's giving very "mall goth" and it feels very much like a teenager trying to be edgy in their, "Moooom I pink" phase. Still has some useful pieces, don't get me wrong. But I'm disappointed. This could have been a great kit and they dropped the ball.

[bekahchu]

The pink and "slay rainbow" swatches make sense for this pack because it's meant to be pastel goth 10 years too late for the sims to hop onto that when it was trendy but at least now we can make them in the sims kind of

[annaraccoon]

"smoking outside of mcdonalds goth" OMG I am dying. I used to be exactly this goth back in 2007 lol

[peep]

Goth is a ~50 year old subculture and there's a lot of different fashion styles that have picked up over the years, I didn't really expect them to cover all of them because it's so diverse. So it makes sense they went with something "safe" instead of making something really robust (which, really would be so much better though).

That being said I am SO disappointed there is NO HAIR??? I guess I will have to continue to depend on the mod community to get what I want out of this game lol

[gothic_nix]

As a goth, I hoped for more Trad Goth clothes than the Nu Goth we got, but I still like it. Also Goth wasn't at its peak in the late 2000s, Goth originated in the 70s-80s so you could argue the millennials also stole the original Goth stuff lol but on a more serious note, Goth is music based so you can be Goth and dress like an everyday basic person as long as you listen to the music, a lot of us just like adding darker elements to our clothes🖤

[wordylittlebird]

I like that the clothes were so lazily converted between the genders that the male chest shows through on the see-through bits of the full body trench for female sims.

Gothic Shanice needs to make an appearance in the next let’s plays

[edhardyari]

The goth kit isn’t giving goth vibes 😭

[MrScrelli]

You're not doing it wrong, it's just the more modern style. You can almost pin the goth style to it's accessories Nu goth: buckles and studs. Victorian/Lolita goth: Ruffles and bows. Cyber goth: Plastic tubes and neon colours, Pastel goth: Pastel colours and more cutesy look and so on. Omg... Steampunk goth: bolts and gears! Lol I never thought of that before xD It's about the music btw so that's why so many styles exist and it's still goth.

[mygetawayart]

i love how despite having explicitely voted to NOT have more rainbowcore stuff, they managed to fit rainbows in the one pack that arguably should only come in black

[simsyard]

the quality of this kit is HORRIBLE (especially the choker and those flat looking female clothes..). the fact that cc creators can make wayyy better looking clothes than ea is so funny. for example look at Dusk Diva Collection & Wednesday Pack by Madlen, it's stunning and the attention to every single detail is amazing
