Really? All it had in it was 2 types of upright vacuums and 2 types of handheld vacuums and you want to pay double the price of a kit for that?

--------------------

As for the idea of Kits, I love it. I want kits for:

1. More flowers and bushes and trees and green plants for the garden. With more garden deco items.

2. A salt and pepper shaker kit filled with a bunch of different collectable shaker sets, like a set of bunny's, cows, llama's, chicken and rooster, cats, dogs, song birds, freezer bunny, yamachan, snowman & woman, frogs, etc... (collecting salt and pepper shakers is a thing.. google it!)

3. Curtains and window covers and window clings/stickers. We have some windows that have nothing that fits on them, also, window clings/stickers would be nice... kids are always putting them on their windows.. but these could easily also go on walls, doors (yes, I said what I said! why not make it so they can be put on the door and become part of the door so they don't block or hinder sims from using the door? Also, they could go on the refrigerator, too... becoming part of the item so as not to block the sims using it and to remove them, you can click on the item and a new option could exist to either "add sticker" or "remove sticker" and then finally the kids drawings could also be put on the refrigerator! and then maybe add some magnet sets that could also be put on the fridge... but come with a toddler and child use item as well so they could play with them in their bedrooms and learn skills.

4. Jewelry. More of everything! More earrings. More body piercings. More necklaces. More rings. More bracelets and especially more watches! And make it so we can put every ring and every bracelet on either the right or left hand! And I want ankle bracelets and toe rings, too!

5. A whole kit of stacks of books. Neatly arranged sets, sloppy sets, horizontal and vertically stacked books. Old books, new books, toddler books, books for teens. Stacks of magazines. Stacks of news papers. Research books and romance novel books. Biographies and books on nature. And photo albums! Yes, photo albums! I know, I know... but hear me out... with the Country Kitchen Kit and Cottage Living Expansion... I feel if you go to visit Grandma, she isn't going to pop out her cell phone and start showing you pictures... she is pulling out that massive photo album and sharing all the pictures she has spent a lifetime compiling in that photo album... and you can't escape it! She's gonna plunk that album onto your lap when she sits down beside you and you are basically her prisoner for the next couple of hours as she regales you with stories about each photo. That's right, you little whipper-snapper... you're gonna hear all about how Grandpa went fishing on their 10th anniversary and how she thought that he forgot, but he brought home the best fish dinner and flowers for her!

6. More Modular shelf systems! With color swatches and styles that match current living room and den/study sets in the game.

7. Bicycle! Bicycle! More bicycle's! And skate boards and roller blades my sim can wear anywhere and anytime. Why can't my sim roller blade to work or the store?

8. Culture Kits. The Courtyard Oasis is a nice start but many, many more of these, please!

9. Clothing Style Kits. The Throwback Fit Kit is... a start. But how about kits based on current styles as they are current? You have worked with Brand names in the past... why not make a kit based on actual clothing so our sims can dress like us?

10. Big, Corporate Name Kits. Such as:
a. McDonalds Kit. With a completely built restaurant and all the build item stuff in it, the menu/food & drink items, the uniforms, etc...
b. Burger King Kit. With a completely built restaurant and all the build item stuff in it, the menu/food & drink items, the uniforms, etc...
c. (Name of business here) Kit. With a completely built restaurant and all the build item stuff in it, the menu/food & drink items, the uniforms, etc...
And the best part of this is, you could have it so that when my sims visits, say McDonalds and the McRib is back on the menu... it's because it's back on the menu at actual McDonalds restaurants and I can run out and get me one! These big corporations should be willing to help pay for the development of these kits because they would become a source of permanent, constant advertisement!

I love many of your suggestions!

I would love stacks of books and newspapers too, of course I would love them to bring back the newspaper delivery too. With stacks of books, I believe they should be able to act as a bookshelf. Also, there should be stacks for the floor as well as stacks for tables, coffee tables,counters, desks et.

I’m always wanting more jewelry, and even some pretty tatoo’s. The most beautiful tattoo I ever saw was on a woman’s shoulder….. it was flowers in an array of oranges, and pinks with green stems. Some more shoulderless clothes for that type of tattoo would also be welcome.

Love the idea of being able to put children’s artwork on refidgerators. I also wish we could frame their artwork to put on tables, shelves, etc.

My favorite part of DHD is the modular shelves and floor items. PLEASE, PLEASE, make more of these to fit existing basegame and packs!!

Rather than more adult bicycles I would rather see some packs for kids,… children’s bicycles, toddlers trikes, childrens and teens skateboards.

I beg to differ. I personally wouldn't mind at all if they abandoned the kit system.

If we are to keep on having them would prefer ones that give our sims more to do. Borrowing from TS2: plumbing items and counter tops needed cleaning much more often that TS4 ones do, so why not increase it back to that level? Washing windows, sewing machine, pottery wheel, cars to fix and use or sell, hedges, shrubs and bushes got scruffy so sims needed to get out the trimmer and trim them, said scruffies generated weeds that needed pulling. From RL: use of hoes and pitchforks for some sorts of gardening, watering the lawns via a hose, for those who have pools, cleaning them. Not sure this is possible, but when changing wall patterns, have the sims actually put up the wall paper or do the painting.

Beautiful long flowing hair like CC. For those off us who don't use CC but want LONG hair.

Actually, a "hair" kit could be interesting! :)

Kits have turned out to be rather disappointing. I thought we would get some fun items that our sims could use but all they are is boring building and decorating packs that do nothing for the game outside of build and buy mode.

This is why I thought the next kit would be CAS. Along the lines of summer outfits or the like. Maybe some new sunglasses, beach balls etc.
For a ‘Summer of Sims’, the only summer related pack was Oasis Courtyard Kit.

(Gameplay themes require more time so I wasn’t expecting that.)

I wanted to post exactly this, a Hair Kit!!

I don't mind having more kits than the stuff pack. At least, with kits, we can have varieties of themes.
