Pool tables update when?

I also sorely miss them. I'd buy them as a kit and they'd certainly be more fitting for a kit than bust the dust was. I wouldn't even need anything more on the side if only the animations were done nicely.

I never understood why they didn't continue gameplay kits with objects that were less likely to interfere with other packs. I care for new gameplay, not for just stuff to look at. That's why I skipped packs without gameplay in TS2, too.
Well, I guess they save me quite some money the way it is now with kits.

They are probably saving it for some pack. Or they are running on very tight budget. We might get a broken down version that's only suitable as a shelf and a decorative cue ball. :lol:

I did not appreciate it. People have been asking for it for so long and then they give the broken down version, especially after they featured it in the commercial with the Brazilian singer.

I agree completely. That's what pains me about the kits sometimes. Clutter items are great and helps set up our Sims houses to look believable, and kits are a perfect delivery method for more clutter. But when the developers give us clutter items like kettle bell weights or dentures in a glass or a broken/disassembled love bed when these things would serve the player so much better as usable items it rubs me the wrong way. I can't speak for every Simmer, but I am sure most of us would agree we need/want items that serve a gameplay function far more than we want ones that serve a solely aesthetic one.

I second this wholeheartedly!

It still amazes me that in the base game bars were a thing and almost 9 years later we still don't have a pool table. I'd love to recreate my rundown bar I had in my Sims 2 downtown but not without a pool table.

The thing is they will not give us what we want as there are enough Simmers enjoying pure set dressing, which is also so much cheaper to create.
Builders are flooding the internet with gorgeous content and the quicker EA get that stuff out the more amazing builds can be seen on YouTube, ..., advertising the game for EA at hardly any cost.
Simmers enjoying live mode are no longer the target audience with TS4. I sometimes feel guilty of that as I myself did hardly play TS3 because I thought the Sims to be ugly. TS3 was rich in gameplay and I wish we could get that back in TS4. But I do not believe we will.
