Whats your favourite cas/bb kits?

BB

FAV Pastel Pop: I think this kits was great specialty was nice surprise that they worked with plumbella. I don’t have more favorite here. I think they all are great in some way.

The last FAV would be Courtyard. The items are just too special that it fit in a *everyday life*

CAS:

FAV Moonligh Chich: Reason? It’s just more my style. Same as above, I don’t have any more favorite. I think self Moderns Menswear have some nice Clothing, although I am not a fan of skirts.

The last FAV would be First Fits, but this is because I am not a player which play with children, so don’t much need for child clothing.

@gooochyeee  I agree with you and Bathroom clutter... .I hope they will improve it. It brings my memory back as they released ball pit with the PS2 texture (Toddler Stuff).

I love pastel pop. I was really surprised at how much content there is. It needed more bathroom accent tables and those tiled ones are perfect. The beds and the seating, the shelves. It's a really excellent value kit. I love Decor to the Max as well for the same reason. If someone just had the base game and added those kits for a reasonable price I think they could still design some really great builds. Before that you'd have to add expansion packs for more build items. I'm not really a big base game furniture fan tbh. The kit I wouldn't recommend is Country Kitchen. I was very disappointed. It looked better in pictures and we don't have enough great modern upscale kitchen styles.

For clothing kits I love Moonlight Chic and Incheon Arrivals. They add some really great looks. I didn't add modern menswear because there's not enough there. They could have done a lot more with it.

I wasn't sure about the idea of kits but actually I like adding them now, plus I feel like they won't add a raft of bugs but I didn't add Bust the Dust as I saw complaints here and there. I think it looks small too but I know it does add a little gameplay.

So I only own two - Little Campers and Desert Luxe. My opinion on the rest just comes from looking at the item lists / watching YouTube reviews.

Little Campers is absolutely my favorite. The only one I paid for. Worth the money; use it all the time. The radio goes in pretty much every house. Not owning Get Together, I love that there's now a game other than chess for my kids to play. The toys are cute. I've put the outdoor screen in a couple parks. I like the colorful bed options. And the little fire ring is a great outdoor activity - I've added it to pretty much every beach house, and several others.

For a second build/buy... while I use Desert Luxe far more than I expected to, I'm still not sure that's enough to call it second favorite. Maybe Courtyard Oasis - that one was really tempting. I just can't quite see how I would use it without the same style for the rest of the house, which is the only reason I haven't bought it. If they ever offer kits in a bundle... I'd probably pick it up. Wish the tea set was functional.

Least favorite build/buy... maybe Pastel Pop because it's just not fair that such a cool rug and the fun tablet/keyboard pair are in a kit full of stuff very not my style. (pink and poofy is very not me, but... shag rug. A rug actually textured to look like a rug. Maybe they'll do it again?)

Two favorite CAS kits... Fashion Street looked fun, even if I didn't feel it was worth the price. Again, if they ever bundle kits... either as part of a set with expansion/game packs, or as like, 3 kits for $10... I could get Fashion Street. Second favorite, maybe Simtimates? Just to have more male sleepwear options. Though it still is mainly feminine items.

Least favorite CAS, probably Throwback Fit - just boring. Though I agree the holes through all the Menswear shirts were weird. I got "Christmas sweaters sliced by knives" vibes from that kit... but at least it was different/unique. We really can't argue we already had that in game!

I will not be listing my least favorite in B&B or CAS because even with my least favorites, I still have found some pieces to be useful . 😎
My favorite CAS kit is hard.  The one I use the most is Incheon Arrivals as it has some useful pieces, especially the cozy sweaters/jumpers, sweatshirts, and jackets! And I love how there is a bunch of things for male Sims!🙌 (This is closer to what I wanted for the Menswear kit!) I do prefer more vibrant colors though, so I don't like it as much as the Fashion Street kit! That kit is gorgeous! But it isn't as useful as the Incheon Arrivals kit! 🙃 Still, I use women's clothing in the Fashion Street kit more than I use the men's clothing from the same kit. I will also say that I love the Throwback kit because I remember the '90s , so I thought this was a fun kit! 🙌

My favorite B & B kit is also my favorite kit by far!!!! It is the Decor to the Max kit! 😍🥰🥳 My only complaint is that there are no bedroom items in this kit! 😭  I also love the Courtyard Oasis kit because it reminds me of my favorite furniture from the Sims 2! 🥰 I also really love the Bloomin' Rooms kit because I find it very useful, and the Pastel Pop kit because it is so fun and I love the colors! 🥳

I did not include the Simtimates kit and the Bathroom Clutter kit in my opinions because I've haven't had much chance to use them yet as I've been busy in real life and haven't gotten much chance to play, although I did make a couple using this kit and the pieces seem nice, but I haven't used all the pieces yet. From what I've seen of the Bathroom Clutter Kit didn't bother me because I don't zoom in that close to look at clutter anyway, and I liked the new towels and children's decals. But I need to play more with both of these kits to really get a feel for them! 

I also have to say that the Bust the Dust kit needs a broom/dustpan combo item to use for Off the Grid lots!!!!! I can not stress this enough! (I also wish that we could choose which houses get dusty similar to how we can choose which houses have laundry by placing a certain item (like a vacuum) to signify that we want the extra gameplay on certain lots! If this were the case, we wouldn't need to have a broom/dustpan combo in the first place -- instead we just wouldn't put a vacuum on any lot that was OTG! 

@gooochyeee yes, batteries is another option and would have prevented the need for a separate item of broom with dustpan, as well as not having the need to make animations for that! I just like the idea of a broom/dustpan because it fits with the aesthetic better of Off the Grid!  They could have also made the Cats & Dogs Roomba vac to work with Bust the Dust as well, but this wouldn't help those who don't have Cats & Dogs.  

Having the ability to toggle dust by lot would have been best , but it would also require a lot more work on their end (what we think of as a simple toggle is actually a lot more complicated to code for , from what I've heard from someone who understands code) Therefore, your idea of battery operated vacuums might be the best for developers and players! 🙌

@PugLove888The roomba does clean dust too 🙂  I will make a seprate thread for the vacuums

@PipMenace , Yes!  something on the wall or set on the floor that can make dust start accumulating , like the hampers in LD or the shoes off sign in SE! Great example to mention the take shoes off sign! 🙌

@gooochyeee yeah, I have never been able to get the C&D roombas to work at cleaning dust .  Thanks for the link! 😉

There's one thing I think they've missed with the robot vacuum cleaner, it's probably more of a cat's and dogs issue really but could apply to all vacs. The pets don't interact with them. That would have been such a fun addition. The pets in Sims 2 Pets would have I'm sure! They were really lively.

My cat likes to supervise my robot vacuum cleaner. He appears from wherever he is when he hears it beep. He follows everything it does and alerts me if it gets stuck. If they added that as a feature in the Sims it would be a bit more realistic.

When bust the dust was added I wondered if it impacts the pets at all? Do they interact with the cleaners or with the dust bunnies? If they did I might add it.
