Are the pointy white gauges/earrings the promo sim with the mohawk has in already in game?
They're probably the other side of the earrings we can see previewed in the kit.- after hibernation (and @CAPTAIN_NXR7 curing my depression with his Helluuu? at the nonvisible arrow slits)
everything seems less depressing
there still might be some items in this goth kit that I'd actually get decent use out of
maybe its just the black swatches maybe theres other swatches that are more exciting? "IrishSimmer21;c-18344723" wrote:
I have never bought any of the kits but I voted for the goth kit so I might buy it.
After seeing the items I don't think I'll bother.- I'm not hugely impressed by these but, honestly, I just didn't have very high expectations in the first place so... eh, whatever. I'll get them.
Sigh, I'm such a geek, I'm taking this castle kit very seriously.
So I have two burning questions and I was hoping that perhaps @EA_Cade or anyone else with castle kit-insight could cast some extra light on this?
1. The (missing?) arrow slits.
Below is a screenshot of the visual catalogue plus the last segment of the kit description as seen on the Sims4 blog.Spoilerhttps://i.ibb.co/qN3sg8N/CASTLE-ESTATE-BLOG.png
Blog description, see bolded crimson:
“Your manor is also sure to be the most magnificent with gorgeous stonework and large portcullis gates that encompass the property. Relax in your lavish fortress surrounded by parapet fences, colorful stained glass, SLIM ARROW SLITS and even llama gargoyles.”
HOWEVER...according to the visual catalogue there are no arrow slits.
This is what I expect to see:Spoiler
Not just arrow slits, SLIM arrow slits:

The only reason I mention this is because the item is advertised on the official Sims 4 blog. Is this an oversight or am I missing something?
For example, If that window on row 2/ 6th from the left is supposed to be one of the notorious "slim arrow slits" does it have a swatch without the ornate window details -no glass, just open? I'm a confused man indeed.
2. Curved Wall support.
Will there be curved wall support for all available Castle Estate Kit windows? I have my concerns about this since the promotional screenshots depict castles with round towers that have no windows (or arrowslits) whatsoever... which seems a tad odd in my opinion. This is a castle kit after all.
Right, that's all, that's what's keeping me awake at the moment (and so much more but I will spare everyone the details)."bizuktag;c-18344962" wrote:

@CAPTAIN_NXR7
wondering the same thing. I was hoping the most narrow window you pointed out would have an no glass swatch to be as fair. but even do , like the photo you provided, the would be in deep walls. I observed the same in tours of medevil structures - most all windowns are set in a deep wall. Wish that was something we could make somehow with kit parts.- You know what @CAPTAIN_NXR7 that is a very glaring oversight considering they advertised arrow slits.
Those windows just can't be what they mean by arrow slits. The shape is wrong.
Maybe this will become one of those moments like with the Industrial kit, where they showed a window in the promo art that wasn't included in the kit, and people made such a stink that they had to make the window and add it in later? - I voted for the Goth kit, but I'm on the fence. I've never bought a CAS kit before and I don't know if there's enough to make me want to start with this one. I like what's there, but it feels like it's missing some makeup and clothing choices I'd expect and no new hairs at all?
I'm sure I'll buy the Medieval kit. I buy every build/buy kit. I do wish we had some furniture and clothing that fit the style though. And I do agree that the arrow slits and round wall support seem to be missing... - I couldn't be more disappointed. We don't even get winklepickers or teased hair. Not even a fishnet accessory to go under different shirts, dresses, etc...or a new hat or Siouxsie like eye makeup. I didn't expect extreme trad goth style; but at least more closer to the concept art, not what just feels like recolors.
