We need MODERN rocking chairs

Nifty Knitting Stuff introduces a rustic version of the rocking chair. In Sims 3 there have been multiple rocking chair designs in various packs. (https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Rocking_chair) I‘d like to see these rocking chairs:

In Sims 3 we had a variety of modern versions as well.

Rocking chairs could be repurposed into patio swings!

    Yeah I hope we can get different styles like in Sims 3 because the current one doesn‘t match modern styles

    While more variety in rocking chairs would be nice, I could see it turning into the 20th anniversary hot-tub controversy all over again as rocking chairs were introduced as one of the "hero" items in Nifty Knitting. I could see them adding porch swings or the like as they would technically be a different item.

    I am not exactly against it, but no one I know owns a "modern" rocking chair or considered purchasing one to my knowledge. At most, I have seen on of the hanging chairs in local stores.

    I don't expect them to add more either. They could, but since it was one of the selling points of the Knitting SP I imagine people would have a thing or two to say about cannibalizing old packs. I am not even sure a kit would be the answer. Would it be a BB or gameplay kit, after all? They were sort of a hero item with some limited gameplay, but nothing new like Bust the Dust or something that could be a bunch of different BB like Country Kitchen.

    I would like to use the rocking chair in modern houses but the rustic design doesn't aesthetically fit into most modern houses

    They had many more variants planned which would be more versatile and fit into modern houses

    I know they had more possible sketches since it was a community SP we voted on in various steps, but I would not go as far as to say they had "planned" to have more than one in game.

    Also, for 3's, I have to ask if they were Sims Store content because I vaguely remember rocking chairs but have not played with them lately in 3. If so, I think that is even less of a reason they would
    necessarily add it in 4. Say what you want about 4's DLC or monetization, but we have never had the store where we could easily see alternate items purchasable piece by piece. And even if they were strictly pack items, 3 got plenty of things 4 did not.

    My first thought upon seeing the words "modern rocking chairs" was of those over-stuffed recliners every suburban dad and grandfather used to have. These suggestions are much more attractive, haha. I especially like those "patio swings" and they'd maybe be easier to implement while avoiding the potential for a Nifty Knitting-related controversy, as RememberJoy pointed out!

    Rocking chairs were in Sims 3 Movie Stuff, Supernatural Expansion and the store.
