First time i've genuinely disagreed with LGR on a review

I see all news and video review about the pack and I'm not dissapointed not because I like the theme but because:
1. I didnt vote for it
2. I have no plan to buy

Surely majority of players would love this pack considering it's the most voted, I'd be wondering why if it says otherwise.

Hmm... i get some people might see this pack as bad one, items to be similar to what we have but in the end of the day this is what we voted for so...
(I accualy like this pack :P)

Any of the voting options would have resulted in a narrow stuff pack. That’s not our fault. It’s all they were willing to offer to begin with.

Yeah I wanted it because I knit and I love hobbies in the game. But if they had an option for attraction, more traits, cars, hotels and better vacations, knitting would have been on the bottom of my list. The problem is not what the voting outcome was, the problem is that most of us rightfully feel there are more important things we are still missing. And that’s not the fault of stuff packs. It’s the fault of the base game and wimpy expansions that missed opportunities to include much more.

But its not what we voted for. We voted for an arts and crafts pack that they then whittled down to a knitting pack. Same with laundry day pack. We voted for an eco living pack which then got split up over three separate packs. (island living, laundry day, and eco lifestyle)

I am not super into knitting or crafting decorative items and would have appreciated other stuff, but at least a skill can define a sims personality and this one is done pretty well.
Sims4 in general... you always watch sims do things that you command them to do. You see your sim do homework, you see your sim vanishing into a rabbithole... you watch your sim while he knits... yeah it is repetitive, but thats the sims4.

It is what we voted for and we did got the information. . Before the vote they wrote that down


The stuff pack will include the top voted gameplay (knitting) from the top voted theme. Additional gameplay from the theme may be included if it fits within the stuff pack scope of the stuff pack, but its not guaranteed

The additional gameplay is only seen in the items. I think it was a fair community vote. They included a lot of things, that didnt make it into the final vote.

In no way would an arts and crafts themed pack be all covered in a stuff pack. We saw what happend with the whole eco living theme and how it got an expansion pack, while it included solar panels, nektar making and freegan trait. I thought all of that could have fitted within a gameplay pack but this DLCs are thtat limited i guess...

You are allowed to not agree with LGR, but he has a point...this pack is super bare bones and hardly no meat on it. Like....I am glad we got baby onesies, but....they could have added a bit more....

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there unfortunately. I think a lot of the CAS and objects are hidden behind the Knitting Skill. I also think the budget for this pack was focused more on animations and gameplay mechanics for the Rocking chair, knitting, Plopsy, 2 radio stations, more than just objects. For $10, you get a nice chunk of niche gameplay.
Compare this this to Luxury Party Stuff, and you can clearly see a difference...

Totally agree!! Blame EA for bad DLC practices, but it's important to review the pack fairly within its scope. We know how Stuff Packs work. Do I like the way that EA divides up products? No. But at the same time, I can still see they tried their best with the resources given to them.

I had to disagree with LGR in that he really did not do justice to the pack when he said it was bare bones. I agree with everyone who likes the Nifty Knitting pack, I think they did a good job with the knitting animation. I would have preferred for them to have a ball of yarn attached to the knitting but hey, who am I to judge. :D

And I didn't even vote for it. >:)

Glad I am not the only one who thinks it looks a bit funny without a ball of yarn in their lap.

I usually do disagree with most of his reviews but he is still funny to watch and has a right to his own opinion. He is a tech guy. He's not interested in knitting. So what! It's very entertaining to watch him in any of his videos. He does a more then Sims reviews. I like his content!

Same! His videos are so funny. The other stuff he does with computer tech and other vintage things is so cool to me. He's very passionate about it. And his voice is so soothing too! Lol
