Can you sell me Tiny Living?

I'm a completionist and only have it now for that reason and the fact that I asked my boyfriend to buy it for me for Valentine's Day instead of spending my money. I'm glad I did. I do not hate the pack and think there are at least a couple much worse ones *coughlaundrydaycough*, however I usually buy the packs within a few days of release if not the day of and I waited awhile for this one. I like a couple adult women sweaters a lot, and some of the furniture is really nice and I would consider my style. But it's nothing that stands out for me. You're probably right in not buying it, at least not yet.

I also got it cause I love owning all the packsI haven't dabbled with the new pack yet but here are some prime features;

The lot size challenge. Maybe you are a builder or not but there is something neat about the game counting tiles and rewarding you for making smaller footprint houses. The lot traits I hear are pretty OP

The new BB and CAS looks pretty top notch actually. Nice everyday-style.

A perfect companion pack to university. Imagine moving out after university and having a very tight budget but instead of moving into a smaller house you can build a small,tiny or micro home and actually benefit for having a smaller budget.

It helps make you think what do your Sims actually need and can help inspire more creative building.

Just a few ideas I had.

feel similar way though i like couple clutter items and being able to separately make tiny house lots and the bed
but I am not really feeling the '' you must buy this'' thing despite being tiny house enthusiast myself o_o

like idk I just find the furnitures boring but thats probably cause I was raised in houses full of mid century blerghs

@Sindocat I know it's not your job, don't take the title too seriously it's just another way of asking "what do you like about this pack?" ;)
besides, nobody has to answer if they don't want to, it's fine by me.

@summertaffy68 that's the problem I am a completionist myself and yet I could always find something in any pack that made it worth my while, yet somehow with this one I am at a loss...

@Bearpal64 the tiny house building challenge is the only interesting thing to me but I can do that already, build tiny houses I mean, like I wrote most of my sims are rich by now but yeah, maybe I when one of the kids grow up and finish college might be a nice idea then.

@Simmingal right? the furniture is just blah and to me still looks way to clunky for "spacesavers"...

hmmm....maybe I should just wait till it's on sale or something (are packs ever on sale on the xbox store?).

I really like this stuff pack. I think the new lot type provides an interesting challenge, although the buffs that come with having a tiny home are really strong which means that the more difficult you make build mode for yourself, that much easier live mode is going to be.

But the deciding factor for me was the style of the furniture and the CAS items. I enjoy those immensely. And I think the Scandinavian style is either something you like or you don't - and if you don't you should not get the pack.
Under the spoiler are a couple of examples to show why I like CAS and BB so much. I think they blend in seamlessly with a lot of other packs.

I like the furniture, I hate the bed (kills sims way to easy). The buffs of a tiny house are way to big. Skill level 0 to 8 in 1 day.

I liked having a building-focused SP. All my houses aren't going to be tiny but I'll use some of that combo furniture in a lot of places.

So far, I added some to an apartment that I was playing with. I haven't done as much tiny building yet other than the house that I built during the challenge. I haven't played with that household yet, lol, though eventually I will.

I like the Scandinavian CAS, it was missing from the game for me. I haven't played with the killer murphy bed yet or the tiny lot yet but the CAS/BB was enough for me to be interested in the SP. I rotate so as I go around, I'm sure I'll incorporate more.

When looking at a pack, I review the objects as a whole. This pack was quirky but still suited my playstyle. I'm more of a realistic player.

I'm not planning to move a family full of kids into a tiny lot but I may use this stuff in sheds, basements, dens and small spaces within larger lots. Like, where to stash that aloof teen? A mini crashpad.

By the way, the house for the Free Spirits in Windenburg is really quite small so it needs this space-saver stuff. I have a household in there.

Shame if it's not your thing. I absolutely love it!

I am somewhat over-using the CAS sweaters, they are gorgeous :D Not the hair though, lol. And I love the build/buy items, the colours are so nice. And I do like building tiny homes anyway, so this is a nice challenge to get them to be even smaller. All in all, this pack really suits my tastes, so I am very lucky.

I really like this pack, but I tend to build smaller homes for 1-2 Sims plus 1-2 pets anyway. With the perks, it was a challenge to build smaller than I'm accustomed to. My latest build really taught me what is necessary and what isn't for a 64 square build. On a 15x20 lot, I can still have a small backyard that has room for a barbecue area, a hot tub, an easel, and a lounge chair for tanning. Everything else my Sim does can be done in either the main living area, and the kitchen and spare room on the other side is only 3x4.

The hairs are not my style, but the sweaters are really good if you have other packs. The furniture is really nice if Mid Century Modern is your thing.

The Murphy bed is not a problem as long as you upgrade it right away. The first upgrade alone may prevent your game ending in less than 24 Sim hours. If you have a Tier 2 (64 square) home, you can get to Level 3 handiness really quick on the first day.

It is one of the few packs and only the second stuff pack I bought at full price and at release (within a week after release in my case)

I really like it so far. I enjoy the challenge of building a tiny house. I like trying to fit everything in and see what is really essential and what is not. Not all of my tiny houses are contemporary, some look like old cottages. With normal beds.

I like a lot of the objects in the pack. Strangely the feature item, the Murphy bed is my least favourite. It takes up the same amount of tiles as a regular double bed, blocks those tiles to place other objects (unless you use move objects.) Sims can already sit on regular beds as well.
But I really like the other objects. Especially the table with bar stools, the book ends, the clutter. I also like the female hairs, the braids and bun are very useful for historical sims.

It has been very fun so far, but I wish we had a few more space savers. It would have been nice to save some room in kitchens (a mini fridge with functional counter on top) or bathrooms (toilet and sink on one tile)

I think a lot of starting sims in my game will start in a tiny home, but as their families grow, so will their houses.

If you find the building challenge intriguing or if you are a big fan of the Murphy bed, I would say go for it. Otherwise wait for a bundle or a sale.
