First Part The actual assets: The Painting(landscape one) is a TV and looks like a painting when turned on! The recorder Spins while playing music and Is portable! The Desk + Mirror Is a Vanity (like vintage glamour) And works without the pack installed. All the assets are great and made very well except one *minor* fault is that one of the chairs is missing an comfort value. Swatches: All good with some neutrals and PINK! (i love pink) the White + Gold Swatches *do* match the vintage glamour so its easy to mix and match pieces! Every Item Matches Everything, no cases of missing swatches. Some of them are ALOT and rather expensive but they make a good accent pieces. The pillows are angled and do fit on most items (I love using them on the DHD sectionals), Items are functional but expect clipping into the pillows. The curtains are modular and work better then the desert luxe ones as they do not have wierd issues with windows! Second Part: UseabilityThe items do match with other packs and you will quite easily be able to make a full house with it. Get Famous and Vintage Glamour are the most noteable ones to match.Third Part: ComplaintsAll of them minor, A rectangle rug would be so useful rather then a circle one! The Dinning Chair needs to be fixed with values! And A Loveseat or Sofa would look so good in this style!TLDR: Would Recommend 9/10 KitEDIT: The items DO NOT match the Decor to Max kit

So, now I have the kit I love the content. I think kits have really improved which each release. I love the furniture style and I really like the panelling too.I do have a couple of small issues though. Firstly, another really beautifully designed bed that looks really comfortable but has a pretty low-ish comfort rating of only 5. This is after the Horse Ranch beds that only have a 4 rating. I'm not sure why the newer beds have such low comfort ratings as it does affect the Sims.My second problem is that the curtain poles aren't always lining up properly, especially over platforms ( images attached) it took me forever to get mine done. I eventually figured out a way by using Half Grid Snapping for the curtain poles and Free Placement for the curtains. The curtain poles in the Desert Luxe kit are much easier to place.But it's lovely content and I still recommend the kit! I love the little vanity table in particular and the lights are beautiful, so is that amazing TV ❤️.

@gooochyeee " Usability: The items do match with other packs and you will quite easily be able to make a full house with it. Get Famous and Vintage Glamour are the most notable ones to match."Now that I've purchased the kit and decorated with it, I'm totally agree with you! I think the only modern things are the TV and the cushions!... I call this new Kit Modern Vintage!!! 😉

@gooochyeee Isn't it amazing a pack with no ugly items. It great!

@gooochyeee what a great review!I'm adding the new kits tomorrow, I really like what I've seen so far and that TV screen looks so interesting.

@gooochyeee Thanks! Excellent!👍

@simsplayer818 Hey I normally use bb.moveobjects and raise them up manually. The Desert Luxe Ones are classed as a "wall decor" rather then a Curtain! The bed quality is Very Poor I agree it should be about 7-8 comfort maybe @EA_Cade , @EA_Solaire Could ask about that but 5 is shockingly low for such a comfortable looking bed!

@gooochyeee I thought about using a cheat to place them but on Xbox we lose our achievements if we use a cheat. I'm considering it more and more though. I finally got there though after a little frustration with it. Shrinking some of them helps too.
I love the pink items in particular, I've based a whole build around it using that colour scheme.
It's for my furniture crafter Sim so I'm going to get her to upgrade some of the beds to sell in her department store along with her crafted beds...once I've created her she's got work to do!

@simsplayer818 Thats really stupid. I can NOT live without my bb.moveobjects however. I am pretty sure its just the testingcheats on cheats and moveobjects can be done without but someone else will need to confirm that for me

@gooochyeee I'm going to be trying them out at some point so I'll do some investigation. It's taken a lot of thinking over first lol.

@simsplayer818 Hey! You don't have to turn on cheats to use the MoveObjects cheat. To be sure, I just tested in a new save on PS4. I pressed all bumpers / triggers to open the console, typed in bb.moveobjects and got the notification that MoveObjects cheat is ON. I did not get the notification that it would disable trophies and achievements that comes up when you type in testingcheats on.

@JonaO703You are awesome 👏 thank you! I was just about to ask about it as I was recently told there was a cheat that didn't disable achievements but I couldn't remember if it was MOO (or who told me in the first place 🤦).
I want to be able to place the Perfect Pillows. So I'm going to finally try it as I notice the SC review says "with a few cheats" you can place them. I've made a window seat out of a platform to feature some but I hope with MOO I'll be able to put them on seating like @gooochyeee mentions being able to place them on DHD sectionals. I've tested every sofa and loveseat so far (all packs except Vampires/HSY) and some living chairs and beds but they won't go on any bed or seating so far.

Edit: still can't place the throw pillows even with MOO 🐮, it's not helping with the legendary curtain rod/legendary curtain placement either. But using the cheat is going to be handy anyway and you were right, there was no warning about disabling achievements 😁.
