Home Hustle Negative thoughts

No negative point against the pack itself, but the official German title "Lukrative Hobbyküchen-Accessoires-Pack" (Lucrative hobby kitchen accessories pack) has just won the platinum raspberry for being the subterraneously worst name in the history of videogaming.

The award ceremony will take place in Del Sol Valley on Sunday, 7 pm, if the doorkeeper lets me in.

I think it looks kinda cool! Though I think a home-catering career would've been better where you get order requests with deadlines and then you like box up all the food and "deliver" it into a rabbit hole or something. And also a blender would've made sense, to make smoothies and maybe like, more baby food or something haha.

I have a concern, for what I've seen, the blender makes prepped ingredients that you use for later plates, but I fear you can't just click Cook...something (a cake) and your sim will not use the blender, just will do the old way.. You know? Like the blender is not integrated with the oven

What do you think?

I am very excited about this pack and will definitely buy it right away. My only little bit of sadness is that I think the small, modern pizza oven is probably the final nail in the coffin for any hope of getting an old-fashioned brick pizza oven that comes in a pack with an Italian/Mediterranean world. Of course, I kind of expected that dream was dead anyway, since nectar-making was thrown in with horses.

There's no Toaster & no Crockpot. :'( That's all the negative thoughts on Home Hustle I can think of. :o

I think the Sims team posted that the wonderful outdoor oven from Jungle Adventures will become funktional as well.

Lol @alanmichael1 :D

My negative thought: the pizza oven is ugly as sin. I used to love the one in TS3 so much that sometimes I would place it even if I didn't use it, just cos it looked so good.

My negative thoughts:

Weird looking spaceship pizza oven thingy..... I'll use it of course, but I won't like using it. :D

Are those Croc shoes....? Noooooooooooooo! :scream:

The pack is okay. But two things.

1. I'd thought that EA/Maxis had gotten over the severely low-poly, poorly textured objects. Recent objects have been so much better than when the game first released. As a result, Hustle and Bustle feels like backsliding. The wallpaper is especially muddy and blurry. Why?

2. It would have been nice to see something other than kitchen stuff, recipes, and yet another sale table. There are so many other themes that haven't been touched since launch -- pool activities, for example. I don't know, I just wish that EA/Maxis would pick a theme, make one great pack then, move on. That would be so much better than the sporadic drips and drops of the same themes, over and over.

Possible ideas:

• Pools: slides, waterfalls, pool bar, Marco Polo, splash wars, functional lanes, a regular diving board, super soakers.
  
• 
  

• Open water activities: kayak, paddle board, surfing.
  

• Mainly for the kiddies/teens: skateboards, hopscotch, Double Dutch/jump rope, butterfly/firefly collecting, sidewalk chalk drawings, kite flying, model train kits, RC vehicles, push and pedal vehicles for toddlers.
  

• A hobby pack: sewing, sculpting, a pottery wheel, glass blowing, jewelry-making, furniture restoration, car restoration, detailed model building -- airplanes, trains, cars. ships in a bottle.
  
• 
  

• Music: drum kit, electric bass, electric guitar, wind instruments, etc., and the ability to form anything from a garage band to a classical quartet.
  

Please consider these ideas, or any others, that have barely been touched in TS4 (if at all).

Agree about pools. What do you mean by Super Soakers? Also Pool Waterfalls need adding.
