  • I genuinely wonder how many kits will be available by the end of the Sims 4. I haven't purchased any myself, I am tempted to buy some of them, but I am holding off for them to go on sale, if they ever do go on sale.

    Hopefully whoever takes that job comes up with better themes because so far all the kits have been horrible even if free I would not want them
