But... They said this could not be done! Did they lie to us!?

Just like the Fear emotion that was a hard "NO!" since 2014 and then suddenly was just... there? Somehow?

It's almost like they heard the community and kept working on it until they found a way to do it.

I know.
I was here on launch day.

I have said it before, I do not actually think they are lying when they tell us the game engine can't do something.

BUT I am 100% serious when I say it is their fault, because they choose an inferior engine.
Remember, the engine was optimized for online play aka "Second Life" but kid rated (hence the loading screens and neighborhoods). It literally could not do basements at release.
That's the reason, btw, why pools didn't exist: Pools are basements with open tops, they literally could not be built; they released a Sims game with no mechanic in the engine for basements. They had to patch that functionality into the game engine after release.

So again, there is a difference at being angry at someone for refusing to tow a concrete slab with a bicycle. That is wrong and tacky. But you have all the right in the world to be mad at the person choosing to show up with a bicycle when he KNEW he was expected to tow a concrete slab.

I sometimes think that's why I'm a little less frustrated than some other players. See, I wasn't here on launch day. I thought the game was missing some basic things I needed to enjoy the gameplay and so I happily kept playing TS3 until late 2015. Either way, I think it is important that people voice their issues. And because everything depends on a budget it should be done clearly and repeatedly and yet always respectfully. Not saying that you don't do that - I wouldn't know - but the tone sometimes bothers me, especially on Social Media. The devs are just people doing their jobs within the constraints of a budget. And I believe they explore the possibility of implementing everything major parts of the community are asking for. But that's just my opinion.

While I can see sarcasm in your post, I just want to point out that devs did not ever say those things couldn't be done. (It was said about CaSt and Open World and I believe a CAS color wheel, but I could be mistaken about the last one.) They said that those things would take a while to work on because they are complicated. I know this because I had this conversation with Ninja myself regarding a Fear emotion. It was the Drama Llamas in the community who jumped to conclusions and spread falsehoods because, for some reason, they never want to take a dev statement at face value. I remember people declaring that Toddlers weren't possible because the Sims 4 engine was "too limited", lol.

So rejoice, all. Almost anything is possible.

No, I mean I am not sad they’re happening but I was apathetic about them. If they happened they happened I didn’t really feel invested one way or the other.

If Kits cost money, maybe they made the bunkbeds to lessen the backlash? Like they knew Kits would be controversial, so they made this to try and look like they care/distract from the drama.

Try not to invest too much into the kit talk...we have no way of even knowing if it’s a real thing or something someone is using to stir up drama. Bunk beds however are about to be very real indeed.

this, until there is an official announcement i ain't commenting on it.

These will be really nice for smaller homes.

It does seem like it could be part of a pre-pack update and I still think we are likely to get a teen focused GP in the same vein as Parenthood (the survey last year had a few teen related options and didn't allow us to choose teens as a lifestage to improve, hinting that they already had plans for them) and I could see bunk-beds kind of being teen related.

Either way I'm looking forward to having bunk-beds officially in my game next month.

They never once said neither of those things couldn't be added. as a matter of fact, both of those were things that the devs expressed interest in wanting to do for several years.

I know the twitch chat went lit when the announcement was shown.
