Four kits? Boooooo!

I hope these kits are a elementary school expansion pack with a dance school a daycare expansion pack with a daycare center for infants and toddlers a horse expansion with a ranch for horseback riding and a zoo expansion pack with all kinds of animals like elephants tigers and monkeys also I hope the new update will be about burglars and burglar alarms and I hope they all come out soon

As was stated above, we're not getting expansion packs, just kits. Kits are the tiny packs that usually just have a small handful of CAS or Build/Buy items and that's it.

There will only be kits this season, they tend to be pretty creative with their kits but it's not a lot of new content to play with during spring if you only play the sims.

If I remember correctly in November they said that there would be two EPs and at least one GP this year. So we knew there would be one quarter, maybe two, that were light on packs. I'll take four well done kits in one quarter to add CAS and BB assets, while the EPs and GPs focus more on adding gameplay, and well done gameplay at that.

Well done game play? What's that? Oh, yeah, TS2. Fewer bugs so more gameplay. Have been there a lot lately thanks to the app.

People say this every year, yet every year the gameplay is lacking despite the scarcity of gameplay packs. So I don't think scarcity is doing anything to contribute to quality.

Agreed. Bust the Dust is still my favorite kit because at least it provided new gameplay for $5. Too bad it was so poorly received and they never offered another.

For £5 the gameplay was good value. I love the mundane tasks as it feels more like a life simulator. I dislike the dust bunnies (they feel more like something more belonging in Realm of Magic). I would buy the kit if there was an option for the dust but not the dust bunnies.

There also needs to be a broom ?added, a dustpan and brush, plus yard brush for patios too. Maybe Sims could chase unwanted Sims on thier lot or random visitor with the yard brush! ??

Mean interaction; chase off with brush.

It's difficult to tell because their packs are so different in terms of focus and quality... how do you compare Growing Together with Discover University or another expansion pack before they were making kits? but I think I agree, packs still seem to have about the same quality and the same amount of content (gameplay, cas, b/b) as they had before when they were not making kits so I don't think we have seen any major changes there.

Maybe they cooked up a gameplay kit to go well with this recent EP? :smile:

I also recommend Bust the Dust bc of the gameplay itself and the aspirations are fun.

There are aspirations?? Is this pack still buggy?

Bust the Dust comes with two new aspirations under the Location category; Fabulously Filthy and Perfectly Pristine.
