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:
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.
Just don't buy them if they aren't what you want.
Kantar66 - I’m fully aware that I don’t have to buy the kits. However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t offer my feedback on them as well.
Sorry, didn't mean it that way. The only way EA will ever listen to our feedback and take action is by not purchasing the stuff we don't like. I've decided they don't deserve any more of my money because every time they add something new, they mess up something that was just fine before.
I didn't mean any disrespect for your opinion, just suggested that you do what I've decided. Stop giving EA money.
Kantar66 - I’m sorry that I misinterpreted your comment. I generally agree with you. Someone was kind enough to gift me the Life & Death EP for X-mas, but I haven’t personally bought any TS4 packs in a while, mainly because my perceived value of the DLC does not match its cost and/or because the game/DLC currently has too many bugs or other issues. I offer my feedback here, in the hopes that maybe someone at EA/Maxis will see it & continue to improve TS4 and its DLC. That could just be wishful thinking on my part, but the fact that Stuff Packs have gradually improved since the release of Luxury Party Stuff, does give me a bit of hope.
