Are you kidding me with these kits?

yeah... I saw James Turner's review on the dustbunny one...apparently it's an easy-out for making a lot of money without cheats (just lay around, make friends with your dustbunnies, and kaching kaching sell the stuff they bring) but I'm sure someone must like it.

I tend to agree on the lack of need for even more tacky country stuff, more soon-to-be-dated fadwear, and more ways to build drudgery into the game when the gameplay is actually what is missing. But there are fans! We just don't share what motivates them and that's okay. I'll still be really REALLY interested in whatever Sims5 brings, though I won't be an early adopter. My money's now going into Sims3, which to my delight, I can run with all kinds of packs at once, all on maximum resolution and graphics quality, and it's got the thing we all fell in love with that made the franchise great: depth, personality, a sense of humor and the absurd, consequences, and autonomous surprises. Not just Barbie Dreamhouse, where nothing happens unless you make it happen.

I like it that my Sims in Sims3 have ideas of their own, initiate things, and that there are surprises. Also, a real world, not just a small footprint of playable area against a glamorous fake backdrop.

Here's hoping Sims 5 will find a way to restore that quality of gameplay with the visual beauty of Sims4, and surpass both Sims4 and Sims3.
But Sims3 does set the bar high, now that it's no longer too much game for a good laptop.

Really like your Mandela quote! With you guys on the latest cash grabbing device. I do wish they would pay more attention to game quality and less on depriving us of our money.

Im one of the folk that was excited for the vacuuming kit. The small day to day things really mean the most y’know? Was really annoyed to discover that an arguably overpriced packs main feature was completely broken though. How are you going to sell one feature to people for $5 ($8 in Aus where I am) when that feature doesn’t even work properly? How hard is it to play test a single feature you expect people to pay for?

I had said this a while ago, but if the focus doesn’t seem to be on providing in depth gameplay, fully fleshed out packs with a range of items and activities, then you’d think the focus would be on bug fixes and quality control, we appear to get neither. Sometimes, the packs and updates are okay, but mostly its just disappointment after disappointment when you realise how much is broken and lacklustre

Meh, I like them, and think they can do a lot with them. Bought all three, and they all work. But will EA actually live up to the potential kits bring? That is the million dollar question. I long ago learned to respect and accept that Sims 4 is unlike any previous Sims game...and I love it anyway. Besides, the dust is easy to handle with the robot vacuums lol.

kits are an obvious cash grab but it's no surprise ea only thinks about the money, rly hate them and hate that they still own the Sims franchise.

I look at the price of an kit and then the SP, the SP costs $9.99 verus the Kit $5.00 there is an $4.99 difference nand that difference keeps me from purchasing any kits. I do not play Sims 4 anymore anyway so no lost for me other than the monies I sunk into this disappointment of an game.

It’s our (gamers) fault. We accepted that and we pay for every trash EA serves us. :'(

In The Sims 3, for 5$ you could purchase a pack that contains over 50 objects in Store. In TS4 we pay 5$ for vacuum cleaner :s

EA always wanted more microtransactions in The Sims....they gain a ton of profit from these, and they can even be released more quickly...

Yep Sims 3 store is back with kits for the Sims 4.

I miss the days when you bought the game and were not expected to by stuff packs. i rather have you know.. sims game update then more stuff kits
