Kits For Plantsims

I was thinking, Maxis is so insistent that Kits will fill in gaps, that they are optional, that they appeal to special people. So far I've seen nothing that really cements that, but if they want to maintain that, I was thinking...

Maybe a Kit that fills out Plantsims into something that, rather than being something you have to unlock specially in DEBUG but a proper lifestate. After all, they have the basics laid out. And of course they can always say "If you don't like it don't buy it" which is their excuse for everything.

    What do you mean having to Debug? There's a system for plantsims so I'm not sure what else the kit needs. I just buy the magic stump in regular buy mode. Patchy the Scarecrow gives out the seeds. Here's my current family's tree in progress

    Well, for starters, that's incredibly boring.

    You just click a couple of menus, and then bam, you've got Forbidden Fruit. There's no sense of accomplishment, there's no challenge, it's just handed to you.

    Improved PlantSims would involve having to actually play the game. Raise a skill, befriend an NPC, discover a hidden lot, find a Forbidden Fruit tree out in the world.

    Additionally, the PlantSims themselves don't have any unique gameplay. Oh, they need hydration and they gain hunger by being out in the sun, but what actually makes them interesting? Can you grow your own PlantSim babies in the ground? Can you accelerate plant growth? What about unique looks? The green hair is.......... fine........... I guess.......... but where's the PlantSim clothes? In past games they wore leaves and petals, where's THAT?

    Thus far we haven't actually recieved any of this so-called 'niche' content that is supposed to be in Kits. PlantSims? That's niche. Random stuff for living rooms and kitchens? To me, that just sounds safe, so that anybody can buy it.

    And by 'anybody' I mean 'as many as possible'.
  • plantsims sorry but if there is such a kit i will skip on this one since i much prefer normal human sims
