Welcome fine friends and neighbors both high and lowLet us use this thread to muse about all the things we wish were inCastle Estate KitThis discussion was originally poll with following options:Arrow SlitsBig BannersCastle FlagsWall Torches / Other lighting fixtureDrawbridgeDifferent swatch/variation to itemFurnitureLandscapingOther (?)Nothing more

Actually all the above. However, it's only a Kit. Hopefully someday soon we will get a proper Medieval Pack in Sims 4.

I actually play with the Snow Escape Springs & now with the recent new stone Hot Tub from For Rent Pack. I always seem to spot hidden treasures in all packs, even the glitchy ones.

A non functional drawbridge that we could place down like a carpet or something would have been nice. Also, some friezes that would create this type of support for turrets, or maybe some fake smaller turrets like the fake dormers to place around for decoration.https://medievalbritain.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/castle-parts-turret.jpghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/Tour_de_Belem_detail_1_082006.JPG/225px-Tour_de_Belem_detail_1_082006.JPG

💭 Castle Estate Kit Should Have Had...

In my opinion it should not have been a kit but a stuff pack with a stuff packs level of things. But knowing that it was just a kit brought my expectation down a peg. But If I were to be completely honest I do believe that the kit should have at least had..(Who am I kidding it should have been a stuff pack in the first place.)

A working Drawbridge first off
Make the Portcullis work (Raise and Lower)
Arrow Slits
Torches
Banners

Black with a Silver Gryphon
Black with a Red Boar (because reasons)

Blue with a White Unicorn
Green with a Red Dragon
Grey with a Black & Silver Wolf
Red with a Black Bat or Dragon (I'm implying Dracula here)
Red with a Gold Lion
Royal Purple with a Silver Stag
Flags that matched the banner colors
The Renaissance Fence from Sims 3 Store with the above mentioned banners for the colors

If you want to fix this just follow up with a Castle Stuff Pack

The above stated build pieces
Very Grand Fire Place that fits the castle style
Artwork
Tapestries
Rugs
Long dining table with a runner in the above mentioned colors and motifs for the banners
A couple styles of suits of armor

Black Knight
Green Knight
Standard Suit of Armor
Tub & Bathroom pieces
Bedroom pieces

Clothing to fit the era the castle was originated from
Shield with sword wall hanging
Pavilion tents from Sims 3 Store

The return of the Dragons

I really wish it had a big medieval or Tudor fireplace.

I think it could've had spiral staircases that would've been a good feature to add to it.

Maybe arrow slits actually. We only got stained glass, correct? I've been busy and haven't picked up the kit or watched very many videos.

I've been wanting some wall torches but I can make do with the brazier from GF(?).

All of it, it should have been a stuff pack. Yet again they want to cram the actual good ideas into a too small format.

Game would already have been a lot better if all game packs where expansions and all expansions where game packs considering they always go for the most boring themes in expansions.

It is "Kit" What did you expect? I didn't vote for it bc I want it in bigger pack for reason.

sooo yeah Ceilings kit when?

I'm sure a lot of people would like that. I honestly just forget about the ceilings 99% of the time in Sims 4 and Sims 2. I don't see them when I'm playing.

If it had spiral stairs, this would have been my first ever kit purchase! Spiral stairs should really be a bg update, though.

Spiral stairs are needed for castles… but so much else is as well.
We need the arrow slits, metal and wooden shutters for window spaces that have no glass, drawbridges… if I start thinking about Sims Medieval then the list just keeps growing.
