Goth Galore & Castle Estate Kits

I can't even be mad, it's just funny to me at this point that this is so typical of TS4: voted for a medieval castle kit, got a kit for building bougie/noveau riche gated community estates.

That being said, I'm sure I'll still buy it at some point. It's not what I hoped for, but it's what I expected, and at some point it will probably come in handy for a specific build, so I'll wait until then.

As for the goth kit, I'm not personally sad about it, as I was never a goth myself, but it was definitely part of the zeitgeist when I was growing up, and what's offered here is rather disappointing. I voted for it, and was hoping to buy it for a couple of my sims, but I don't see anything here that I couldn't just basically recreate from other packs. Xander Goth will just have to get his Robert Smith hair elsewhere.

“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.

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.

Indeed that is the arrow slit in question. Long ago plucked from its roots in peasant revolt prevention and readjusted to a quiet life of keeping cold drafts at bay.

Thanks for clearing this up @EA_Cade, much appreciated!

I won't lie, it aches my dark heart to learn that this is the arrow slit in question, although I do think it's a lovely little window. I really hope there's a swatch without the glass.

What aches my dark heart is imagining this lovely little window going to a family reunion where all its relatives are talking excitedly about that one time they defended their castle from peasant revolt

and all this little window has to say when its turn comes is that its been into self care recently

poor lad

I shall have to make an official request for medieval ARROW arrow slits. Fortress-style, not fancy-style. Hopefully we'll get one or two in a future pack or with an SDX drop.

That sounds like a good plan.

Asking because I don't actually know, is there an actual mechanism to do that? Make official requests or provide direct feedback, I mean.

Neither kits are showing up for me to purchase in Origin (MAC). Anyone else have this problem?

We're aware and investigating availability issues on Mac and Steam currently. Apologies!

when does it come out? I thought it was today.

I have the same issue on my PC (EA app).
