Would You Like To See The Kits On Sale?
I believe the kits are not intended for people to purchase every single one, but to purchase the ones they are interested in. With that said, I do believe the price is too high and not worth it consi...

@iamsweetmystery That's interesting about Bust the Dust. I had a different idea in my head about it. So can I ask in households that don't have the vacuum cleaners do they remain kind of unaffected by dust, etc? Like with Laundry Day where there's no laundry without Washers? I might change my mind about it.
I absolutely adored Sims Bustin Out. I've played them all on PS/PC/Xbox but Bustin Out was my favourite and when I got Basement Treasures and saw the heart shaped bed in pieces I thought noooo, old friend what have they done to you?

@simsplayer818 - No, it's a universal effect, but the maintenance is pretty easy and there are 3 upright vacuums at different price points, plus 2 handheld vacs. Every few days each storey of the house gets dusty depending on how heavily it's used. With a vacuum cleaner in the Sim's inventory, you click a spot, and after a few in-game minutes of running it, the whole level is cleared of dust and any dust bunnies you haven't befriended. It's not a high maintenance thing at all. The vacuums can also be upgraded with various features like never needing to be emptied, and butlers and maids will also sweep for you. Even if you don't have a cleaner, you can still pick up and throw away dust piles and stomp bunnies, and all that will be left is a faint layer of dust. Dust accumulation can also be turned off in the options settings if you want a break from it.
Side note: I only ever played Bustin' Out on GameCube and GBA but what was awesome was they could be linked via cable and you could port your GameCube character into the GBA version, have a whole different adventure, and any Skill Points you gained in the GBA version would stay with the Sim when you ported them back. Great for Skill grinding to make Careers easier in the main game.
- @iamsweetmystery Thanks so much for the info. I think I'll be looking at adding it sometime and giving it a try when I'm ready for a new little challenge in my game.🐰
@simsplayer818 - Glad I could help.
@peno11 @iamsweetmystery Hi! I know a lot of shade has been thrown at the BTD kit for various reasons. Personally, I don't hate BTD. I just hate dusting in general. lol Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, BTD is the only kit with gameplay so far. I sort of wonder if maybe it should have been a stuff pack instead. Just based on all the other kits, it seems like they should stick to adding CAS / BB items rather than introducing gameplay? Maybe that's just me. Whatever the case, I think the main point of this thread is, when compared to items offered in packs, the relative value per item is a bit more in the kits. It's difficult to compare DLC that offers items along with gameplay though. Just looking at the stuff packs, most offer around 70 CAS / BB items (give or take) as well as gameplay. It certainly seems to me that the kits are a bit overpriced in comparison. I'm thinking maybe $3 or $4 USD would be better.
@JonaO703 - Yeah, I think $3 would have been more reasonable for most. I will say, Bust the Dust has the most to offer for the price, but it is minimalist enough, I don't think it would fit as a pack. If it had a little more content, maybe. I think the almost universal disdain for RL dusting that creates a bit of bias, but there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about the Kit in general. Nearly every gripe I've heard about it had to do with how few items it has. Very much a "judging a book by its cover" situation.
