Overall, the new kit assets, so far, seem nice. However, I really wish that these concepts were presented in stuff packs, instead of kits. The devs could have easily combined Secret Sanctuary & Casanova Cave into one stuff pack (“she-shed” + “man cave”). Moreover, IMHO the Casanova Cave concept, by itself, could have made an excellent stuff pack if expanded upon. TS4 needs a lot more nice, basic (not high fashion) clothing for male sims, & in addition to the furniture items already depicted, a stuff pack concept for Casanova Cave could have also included some of the following possible options for gameplay:
- Pool tables
- An air hockey table
- An indoor putting green
- New arcade machines and/or a new foosball table
- A new mini home microbrewer to make mead, nectar or juice
- The ability to play poker
- A portable & functional chess/checkers set that is not already built into a table
- a new video gaming set up
- A set of functional dumbbells
In general, I would rather have any of the larger DLC packs instead of kits. But, since kits appear to be here to stay, I would prefer to see CAS & BB assets remain separate in kits, instead of a hybrid mix. IMHO kits are too small to combine CAS & BB. If the devs are going to combine kit concepts, they should combine the elements of BB & gameplay kits.
