Hey, since the Goth Kit won the vote...

I voted for Nifty Knitting because it was presented as an Arts and Crafts pack with other things like a pottery wheel, etc. And then it got whittled down to ONLY knitting and while I'm always happy with new hobby-style activities, even I was pretty displeased. I guess I should have known better than to trust they wouldn't dumb down a stuff pack after the "Eco Living" pack won and it became laundry. Honestly, I play games to escape chores, why would I want digital chores?!?
That being said, if the Grim Reaper pack had won, you better believe that half the features that were advertised would've been weeded out and we would have been disappointed with it anyway. Maybe this way, if they do ever design a Grim Reaper Game Pack, it would have all the elements that made it sound so enticing in the first place.

I hope so too! A few gurus mentioned that Happy Haunts got nearly as many votes as knitting and this is probably also why Paranormal followed not “too long” after. Paranormal only includes a small selection of the features advertised, the difference is that it doesn’t have any of the Grim Reaper career elements ( which is the main reason I voted for that pack) but I was also quite happy about it not winning since a mere “stuffpack” couldn’t possibly do our pal Grim any justice. That said, Paranormal is my absolute favorite Stuffpack with Nifty coming in a close second, and this comes from a guy who’s only ever used a knitting needle to try and unblock a drainpipe (I’d advice against it btw, there are better tools for that) aye - and to get hoodie drawstrings back into hoodies!
I will forever be hugely impressed by folks that can sculpt clothes and other items out of wool with a simple pair of needles.

I bought Nifty mainly for the rocking chair and the METAL station (+ air guitar) but I must admit that sims knitting cosy jumpers and knee - high socks and stuffed turtles and….mailbox cosies…is one of the most wholesome things to watch in TS4. Plopsy is quite popular too, at least with some of my sims. The others just swindle for credits in order to survive. No big deal.

It’s a shame that occult packs have been few and far between, because they’re so good. At this stage you’d think us occult players are sort of expected to be immortal beings too, given the length of time we have to wait for occult fantasy type content to arrive. Now, I shouldn’t complain too hard yet since Werewolves was only released about a year ago, but I wonder what the next occult themed pack will be before we have to wait another decade. Could it be fairies, could it be Grim ? Could it be both?! It’ll be something , surely? I really hope “Happy Haunts part II” is already in development as we speak, and it most certainly deserves a full Gamepack. ??

@CAPTAIN_NXR7 I just posted a Malice Mizer music video in the music thread and it occurred to me that you may like them. If you haven't heard of them, they are a Japanese band, very dramatic performances, gothic style, sort of baroque-style instrumentals, very cool. Anyway here is the video, if you are interested.

Thanks for sharing!

Now that’s a selection of outfits I’d welcome in my game! I’d love me some mad hatter and evil clown attire and cloaks! How is it that we don’t we have cloaks yet, and tattered top hats and Victorian style lace up boots for both males and females?! This would go nicely with a Grim Reaper Career pack; I’d want all my gravedigger sims to look in their Sunday best! ?

As for the music:
