It looks like they might show more stuff on the stream. At least that is what people are speculating because a guru said not everything was shown and the sims account responded with a hushing emoji.

Let's hope....the stream is almost done so we should find out soon.

Based on what little I read of the post showing off the new items, it seems like the cc creators chose to submit the pieces that we've been given, so personally I don't see it as a waste of anything. it's a gift :)

I already own the furniture items, where is my gift receipt? ;) While this is great for consoles I wish we got brand new items. Love both of their work it just does not feel as exciting.

@Netzspannung what a gorgeous sim! ? Can't wait to give my sim a makeover.

Thank you! I made her with story mode the other day and her traits are Active, Good and Proper, which would be fine if the story hadn't chosen the Criminal career for her as well as the Public enemy aspiration. So she's having a rough time right now even with her new gorgeous eyebrows. :D

In general I feel a little bit disappointed but as a console player I am really happy that finally I have some CC with amazing swatches in my game. Is is really a huge change for us - console players and I expect more suprices like that.

I think the items look great and it's cool that the community got this much involved. And free gifts are always great, too. Almost always. Because I already have most packs + tons of CC, I don't really see I'll use most of these 21 items. The flowers might be the only item I'd grab because I love flowers. What I do need is free hard drive space for my game to run close-to-smoothly. I've been edging the lag limits for a while, knowing just a few more MB will have a negative impact.

So, it feels a bit forced that CC content is now added to my game without asking me if I'm fine with that. And it's not the first time. Is there no way to refrain from adding this set? If I come across great looking "all or nothing" sets on CC sites where I quickly see that I'd use very few of the items, I'll pass. My in game catalogs are steep full, and I'm trying to reserve what's left of my free hard drive space for a final future must have pack. So, yeah... this feels a bit like filling my game with a pack I never would have grabbed myself - free or not. Almost like surprising us with a free "My First Pet vol 2" that everyone *must have* whether they like or not.

I miss the TS3 era with a store. Free stuff would be available in the store, and we could grab what we wanted. I don't like the turn TS4 took ages ago, adding content through patches, meaning you can not decide for yourself. We can not choose not to add patches, I wish they were separate installments. I know it's only 21 items this time, but it's a bitter sweet gift if free items that you never actually use will slow down your game.

Again - cudos to the creators, who did very well! It's not their fault I already have "200 dining tables" and that I use only 3 of the 60 lipsticks available in the game (no CC). Happy for everyone who get new stuff that they will use often, CC is fun :) .

I don't know why anyone was expecting something big and spectacular. Especially in terms of gameplay. I mean, usually the only time we get some "big" game changing addition is in a patch prior to a new DLC that will expand on that addition. (ie sentiments in the patch before Snowy Escape, the scared emotion before Paranormal Stuff, etc.)

We basically got what I was expecting. Some BB and CAS items. The food was a surprise, though indeed a welcome one.

I wouldn't say I'm disappointed really. Just more "meh." But all of that stems more from the fact the most of the items just aren't my style than what we got. I absolutely love the skinny jeans, the cat hat, and the cloud mirror, but the other stuff I could take or leave for the most part.

But since it's free and I don't have to waste any unnecessary space in my mods folder, I'm not complaining. There was an item or two I already have downloaded (the cat hat being one of them) but that just allows me to delete it from my mods folder and save room for future cc.

Plus, I'm happy that console players can finally have some form of cc.

Ohh, I feel like this could be a potential annoyance. I can see toddlers placing a bunch of items underneath, and I'll have a hard time getting them out.

I'll take anything free being on console, and I love the idea of having CC made by simmers in my game without actually having CC if that makes sense. Honestly seems very PCMR here sometimes, but I get it.

They still didn't fix the staircase or leftovers bugs, they just fixed things that I didn't even know existed. :/

This. I am annoyed too.
