What are kit packs? I’m seeing people mention them over social media? Did I miss them talking about them in the livestream? I can’t see anything about them from EA as to what they are.

Agreed. I hope we have the choice of both stuff packs and kit packs.

I like the idea of kit packs as a way of selling us odds and ends of things that we've been wanting in the game but those items weren't necessarily things that could fulfill a whole stuff pack, so we haven't gotten them yet. Odds and ends like maybe a pool table, or a musical instrument, or theme-specific cas items, or a pizza oven, or a pool slide, etc etc.

Expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kit packs. All these various pack sizes and price ranges allow us the option to pick and choose what we want and/or how much we want to spend.

They have to, unless they hire more people. You can't just make more DLC without cutting from anything else.

They might still make stuff packs but there are most likely going to be less of them now.

Two of the kits are literally just CAS items and non-gameplay Build/Buy items.

In case you're not aware, the artists at Maxis only draw the concept art of CAS items and non-gameplay Build/Buy items. The actual modeling/texturing of the items are outsourced to two studios in China. If there is a need, they can certainly contract more studios to make stuff for them.

Many stuff packs are literally just CAS and non-gameplay Build/Buy items as well with one or two gameplay items. So we will see.

I don't see the chance that kits will replace SP.
I see more: Kits are a way to deliver those micro contents that didn't fit in a SP or that have been created after a pack they would fit in was released yet.

Example: fitness clothing could have been amazing with the Fitness SP. Should they do a new fitness SP? of course NOT! People would hate them. So they will deliver fitness clothing in a kit.

Same for dust remover (they could have fit in the laundry pack or the eco pack).

Country kitchen is the only one that makes me scream at "hint" for a future farm pack or a little bonus for that horrible kitchen SP we had long time ago.

I'm wishing for sleepwear cas kit and historical cas/bb kits. I wish that they do world kits too. As for gameplay kits there are so many niche things that i would love... i'm not excited about this first 3 kits so i hope they release new kits often...

I wonder what will be in the March patch besides bunkbeds. I was hoping to see cars soon, but I doubt they'd release those at the same time as bunkbeds. Hoping for it though!

I think the chance that there'll be historical kits is extremely high. They can cater to more niche requests from the community with this new pack format.

Anyone else see this home and get reminded of the house from an old TS4 UI render? The color scheme is on point

I'm not sure, but I do notice the open stairs in the picture :D Which are bugged right now so we can't use them.

On a more positive note, I just heard of the laundry list that Maxis will add where they will post what they are working on when it comes to bug fixing. So that's good.
