![]() ![]() But then, Moschino seems to hide its wearers behind the clothes. It’s kind of disappointing, given how visually interesting each piece is, that they can’t be easily complemented by the player’s own sense of self expression. ![]() The accessories and individual pieces don’t necessarily mix and match well, so I got the most mileage out of just wearing the obvious outfits without any improvising or variation. Personally, I love the Plumbob swimsuit, drop earrings and umbrella, but they’re the only things I’ve added to my regular wardrobe. But as everyday wear, you won’t get much use. If you have a flamboyant and outgoing Sim, they’ll look quite dapper in the pack’s bright patterns, sporty moto jackets, ironic novelty prints and so-gaudy-it’s-good, ‘80s inspired evening gown. Like most couture and high fashion concept pieces, the Moschino items aren’t particularly practical. That being said, if you’re looking for this pack to robustly improve your wardrobe options, you’re out of luck. And anyway, if you’re going to experiment and develop your fashion and decorating tastes while creating a fantasy life in The Sims, why not have the chance to recreate the aesthetic in real life? ![]() I’ve had outfit envy towards my Sim more than once. ![]() I’d enjoy seeing more content packs that feature items actually available for purchase. I loved Diesel Stuff for The Sims 3, and H&M Fashion and the IKEA Home Stuff for The Sims 2 as well. But on the contrary, I love having more clothing options, and I think the crossover into real life is a clever and fun bit of cross promotion. You’d think my general disdain for the aggressive monetization strategies of EA (and how they’ve been tested out on the Sims audience over the years) would preclude me from enjoying a fashion pack for The Sims 4. Which is why the latest from The Sims 4, Moschino Stuff Pack, is a lot of fun for the fashion forward and self expressive. It’s also about the unique markers of our personal identity through fashion: the hairstyles, the clothes, the accessories. It’s not just about the profession, the house, and the carefully planned family. It’s about curating an image of a dream life without the sobering limitations of your real one. At its core The Sims is all about self expression. ![]()
