Kits Ranked

I have all the kits, and bought them all on their respective release dates. Here's my totally not scientific and completely biased rankings.

1. Courtyard Oasis. This gives so much and feels like the size of the early stuff packs. Walls, windows, doors, stairs, fences, railings, furniture, decor, lighting, and it all fits a niche that we needed. Amazing. Lots of nice colors from neutrals to brights.

2. Fashion Street. Yup. With the accessories, the tattoos, the colors, and the masculine attire it is well rounded. And the pants! I didn't know how much I needed poofy pants before now.

3. Country Kitchen. This has lots of stuff, but if you have Cottage Living what it offers might not be unique enough. That said, the wall texture is great. I love the sink. And the clutter items are perfect.

4. Throwback Fit. Yes, ok maybe because I'm old and I was a teen in the 90s this one resonated with me. I love bright colors. I use the one piece outfits a ton. I love the sneakers for all my sims. The crop tops with jackets don't get much use and neither does the bucket hat though.

5. Incheon Arrivals. Ok, this stuff is well made, and looks good for a preppy, career oriented person. Need to flush out the Salaryperson's wardrobe and make them look like they slept at work? Done. But it's all really baggy, and all really muted and beige. Love the slacks, but the half tucked in shirts are not my thing.

6. Industrial Loft. This idea felt... underwhelming. Yeah, steampunk stuff is cool. Yes, I have made a few industrial builds. But so much of this kit is similar enough to what we have already, and this kit really relies on pieces from Get to Work and Eco Living to really pop.

7. Bust the Dust. Why couldn't brooms and dust pans been included? Why do I need to have garbage bins on all floors of my house because my Sim can't carry dust down a ladder? I'm glad they fixed the random vacuuming all the time issue, but I still play with dust bunnies off unless I'm trying to make things dirty. Do not recommend.

I have 5, but am also away and for sure getting Fashion Street later.

1 - Bust the Dust (Unfortunately a chore grind, but currently the only gameplay kit and I use it constantly. Plus I like the dust bunnies and find the floor sparkles perfectly acceptable.)

2 - Country Kitchen (Now a similar kitchen theme is in an EP, but the kit was first and I really wanted to build with it. Inspired an entire farmhouse. 100% preference bias. The fridge in it is my actual home fridge, just a normal color.)

3 - Fashion Street (I love color and love so many individual pieces of this one. One outfit in particular is stunning, and it is a CAS kit that is actually more than just clothes.)

4 - Courtyard Oasis (I was not exactly thrilled with this announcement, but it is a nice one. Not something I use all the time or had to build with that second, but it is definitely aesthetically pleasing.)

5 - Industrial Loft Kit (I recognized where I could use it pretty quickly, but not exactly my theme. Plus the whole advertising/window debacle was just offputting and the furniture specs are wonky. The plants are really cute, though. I always like new plants.)

6 - Incheon Arrivals (Pretty torn from prerelease info. Hate the standard muted colors, but the style is similar to some stuff I wear. I could see how it would be useful. Will come down to the color variants/swatches.)

7 - Throwback Fit Kit (CAS exemplar kit was all clothes instead of showing off the variety of what could be in a CAS kit. Plus just not really my theme,
all things said and done.)

1. Dust the bust
I thought I'd enjoy laundry, but hardly find me using the system. Dust, to the contrary, has become a must-have in every save and I actually missed dusting when I played the Oregon trail challenge (where sims live in wagons).

Would buy if I had a more generous budget:
2. Throwback fit
3. Fashion street
4. Courtyard Oasis
5. Country kitchen
6. Industrial Loft
I'd love to rank Industrial Loft higher, but the title says it already, this is for refurbished factories made into apartments. What I really want is additional content for actual factories with more worker clothes including safety helmets, gloves and goggles and deco that matches the GTW objects. That would be an instant purchase.

Not interested:

Yes! I think I can use City Living to help with Fashion Street, but there's a major lack of anything like Incheon Airport in the game. Whereas they added Moroccan clothes to basegame after Courtyard Oasis, I hope they add some Korean build/buy.

Unpopular opinion but I like extra chores for my sims even if I have tuning mods for those chores. Having extra athletic outfits is nice. I like all of the building stuff equally because I can find uses for all of it. The new CAS kits I don't own yet but I can see them fitting in perfectly with certain packs/sims.

Fashion Street - I love everything in this kit. The colors are amazing and I love the style.

Industrial Loft - I guess I just have a thing for the converted warehouse look.

Country kitchen - I really like the style of this one, and it works well with Cottage Living.

Bust the Dust - Admittedly I have several mods to fix this one, but I do enjoy the extra challenge of dirty floors in certain saves.

Courtyard Oasis - This one is beautiful but it could really use a world to go with it.

Throwback Fit - Haven't bought, but I may if kits ever go on sale. More active wear is always nice.

Incheon Arrivals - Haven't bought. The style and colors do nothing for me.

1. Bust the Dust - I use this in every household. I also wish it came with a broom and dustpan.
2. Country Kitchen
3. Courtyard Oasis

I don't own the other four.
I will eventually get Industrial loft and Incheon arrival but I have no plans to get the other two.

I'm not really a fan of kits, but I don't hate them. They're pretty low-priced, and a few of them seem worth it (some do not, in my view). But I have too many other pastimes along with this game to be able to afford every little thing for all of my games and hobbies. And no, I don't buy $5 cups of coffee, either. My own brew tastes better and it's far cheaper, too. :smiley:

Courtyard Oasis: I was already using CC to achieve a similar aesthetic on a pretty regular basis, and I got this one to add to my choices. The quality of the items in this one is impressive, and I'm quite fond of the colors offered. I do wish there had been a few more neutral swatches, especially more white, gray, and black tile patterns.

Fashion Street: Don't have, probably will get someday.

Incheon Arrivals: Don't have, might get someday.

Industrial Loft: Don't have, might get someday.

Country kitchen: Don't have, unlikely to buy. Just not very fond of the "county" aesthetic.

Throwback Fit: Don't have, never will. Didn't like that style when it was new, and that hasn't changed.

Bust the Dust: Don't have, never will. I can't even imagine paying for activities that I hate in real life in order to do them in a game.
