The fact that the earbuds are portable now doesn’t make much of a difference, but they do look good on my teens. Your Sim puts them on sometimes and listens to music while they do stuff, which is basically what they always did before. I’ve never been that engaged in my Sims’ workouts before.Īs for the earbuds, there was a lot of hype surrounding them, but I feel like they’re the least exciting gameplay item in this pack. I find myself bobbing my head and doing a little dancey thing in my seat while I’m watching my Sims work out to the videos. The workout videos are also more fun to watch than the exercise machines and punching bag. The fire setting really gets my adrenaline going because holy plumbob, what if my Sim dies?! The gym is an exciting place to be now and I love it.

Watching them try to scale the rock wall is so much more entertaining! Plus with all the different settings (including a potentially deadly fire setting), their rock wall workouts are never the same.
With Fitness Stuff, I love sending my Sims to the gym. It didn’t pump me up the way working out should. Building the Fitness skill was tedious and mind-numbing. Cool! The biggest reason I hardly ever sent my Sims to the gym was because it was boring watching them punch a glorified bean bag, run in place on a treadmill, or sit at the weight machine. I can’t wrap my mind around all the hate for the rock wall. Let’s put the CAS parts aside and jump right into the gameplay that Fitness Stuff offers. Of course, everyone loves getting new ombre hairstyles and the new side-buzz with a long flipped fringe delivers in that area. The shoulder-length dreadlocks provide the game with some much-needed diversity and the side ponytail is casually elegant. The hair that comes with Fitness Stuff is also a strong point of the pack. My personal favourites are the polyester tank top with shoulder shrug and the tennis skirt, pictured below: Many of the clothing items suit any Sim who wants to look fashionably laid-back and each item comes in a great variety of both patterned and coloured variants. I expected the clothes to be stuff that a Sim probably wouldn’t wear anywhere other than the gym, but I was wrong. It added a whole new way to enjoy the Fitness skill, which is a skill I became bored with years ago, but not anymore! The Sims 4 Fitness Stuff added much more than some funky clothes and ultra-modern furniture to my game.
It quickly became clear to me that I was wrong to be so critical of this pack. I ended up getting the pack and spent some time exploring everything it had to offer. That was I started to think Fitness Stuff would be a welcomed addition to my game, after all. I decided to watch the live broadcast with SimGuruGraham. It had to be a step up from the rock walls we’ve seen before in previous installments of The Sims or it wouldn’t be worth installing for me. I needed to see this rock wall in action for myself.
I wasn’t too interested in the earbuds but the rock wall intrigued me. Soon after, the gameplay items of the pack were announced a rock wall and earbuds. What could Fitness Stuff possibly have that would excite a Simmer like me? If they do any kind of physical activity, it’s usually a yoga routine at home on their balcony or in the backyard. I just didn’t think I would get much use out of a pack like Fitness Stuff. There was no doubt that gym-related activities were in need of an upgrade. It was old, stale, and hadn’t been touched upon since Spa Day. I could see why the Sims Team would want to expand upon this area of the game. When I first learned that a fitness-related stuff pack was coming in June, I’ll be perfectly honest I wasn’t too excited about it.
