Any reviews on kits welcome and any best ranking would be great, looking at getting some extras I do a fair few already, but want to add to my game. (FYI I am not opposed to kits I like their idea, it is what suits you and your gameplay, I know it costs money but I like that not every kit is suited to that person.) That being said, any must haves?! 😄

I like the ones with a little bit of added game play:Little Campers - you get the don't wake the llama/bigfoot game even without Get Together, a fire pit and cooking s'mores on it without Outdoor Retreat or Horse Ranch, a dollhouse that is relatively cheap and since it's made from cardboard boxes actually makes sense being the size that it is, a big projection screen without Movie Stuff, a swing set without any of the expansion packs that include them, and a relatively cheap kid's activity table.Riviera Retreat also has a fire pit if that's what you're looking for, though if you're only getting one kit I'd still go with Little Campers.Book Nook has a lot of objects that you can use to unobtrusively place books in ways that they will actually stay when you save the lot to your library (unlike books you place inside bookshelves) which I like for custom library collections or reference books on public lots.Storybook Nursery has a rocking chair and changing table.Casanova Cave has another giant screen, though again if you're just getting one kit I'd go with Little Campers. Vastly different looks though; Casanova Cave's would not look out of place in a movie theater build.Kitchen Clutter has the grocery bag you can order groceries from (if you have Cottage Living & like playing with its Simple Living lot challenge, this will be wonderful for playing with both Off the Grid and Simple Living together). It also has a lot of fun touches like getting cereal from the cereal boxes and cookies from the cookie jar.Restoration Workshop has the appliances that can be purchased broken and restored in order to use them.And of course there's the very first gameplay kit - Bust the Dust - but I haven't actually bought that one because I have some concerns about how it integrates into the game (mainly, that there's no broom; I also believe both the dust bunny gifts and moodlets were overpowered originally but they may have been toned down since).I've also found I use the Grunge Revival CAS items frequently and the Cozy Bistro flooring all the time.

My favorite Kits are:Secret Sanctuary ties with Storybrook Nursery ties with Cozy BistroCastle Estate ties with Rivera RetreatCourtyard Oasis ties with Blooming Rooms ties with Greenhouse HavenCountry Kitchen ties with Kitchen ClutterMoonlight Chic ties with Business Chic ties with Sweet AllurePoolside Splash ties with Simimates Collection ties with Sweet Slumber Party Some kits just so goes together. I recommend getting them in a group of a theme that you might be interested in. PS: Golden Years Kit would so go perfectly with the Cottage Living Pack😊

My favorite is actually Bust the Dust! I really enjoy the gameplay.

I like the most of KITs but when I think about that, these are the ones I overuse:Cozy KitschRefined Living RoomBusiness ChicSleek BathroomDesert LuxeSimtimates CollectionMoonlight ChicBook NookRiviera RetreatCasanova CaveEveryday ClutterPoolside Splash

I think it depends on your playing style and how you like to decorate your homes. I tend to leave kits unbought until I have a clear idea of how to use them, a sim that fits the vibe, which mean for me a kit can be used a lot for a period, and then not at all. But if I look at the ones that I will likely use a lot regardless of what I'm playing right now, it's probably these two. Booknook kit! My clear favourite. I use that bookshelf all the time, in stores, in homes, in dorms... I like the rest of the kit as well but that bookshelf is probably my one most used asset in game. The new kitchen clutter kit I haven't used that much yet, but I can see myself using it a lot! I also rank it high because of the number of useful objects, like getting cereal from the box instead of the fridge. Without knowing, I think a lot of kitchens will have some part of that kit in it. Other kits I really like for a variety of reasons are the following: The greenhouse haven kit I use a lot when having gardening sims - however, I do wish they'd gone the same way as with the kitchen clutter kit. A lot of those objects could have been attached to a functionality, and I wish they were. Blooming room because you can never have too many plants to vary your homes with. The artist studio (I'm playing an artist at the moment, so right now this is heavy in use). Cozy kitsch (so pretty and perfect for mid-century homes, which I'm playing at the moment)There are other kits I really like, and I use most of them occasionally. While I like the clothing kits, none of them feel necessary the same way some of the bb-kits does for me.

Thats great, unfortunatly I have just never been super into CC and the downloding, plus it messes my game at times, but I am glad it works for you, I love the idea and creators :D

I'm a builder and I'm on console so I can't use CC. So I love kits ❤️! I especially love that creators are getting involved with them too so that console players can finally use community creations. I look forward to more creator kits.
I have all content and my favourite kits change regularly but the build kits I highly recommend are:
Blooming Rooms
Decor to the Max
Desert Luxe
Pastel Pop
Greenhouse Haven
Book Nook
Modern Luxe
Riviera Retreat
Storybook Nursery
Cozy Kitsch
Comfy Gamer
Secret Sanctuary
Casanova Cave
Refined Living Room
Sleek Bathroom
Kitchen Clutter
I had a slight disappointment with previous clutter kits but the latest Kitchen Clutter is a big step up, its packed with great items. I would like Basement Treasures more if there were more items that weren't so beaten up. For example there's a beautiful floor mirror, The Graceful Ambition Standing Mirror that has broken swatches and regular swatches. But the cute lamps from the kit are all wonky and so is the shelving unit.
The new Sleek Bathroom is the best kit I've seen in a long time. It's extremely versatile and customisable. It's my new essential kit 🛀.

shandy_lou97 I'm surprised I don't have Book Nook yet. It's definitely my style and I love books and modular build items.

shandy_lou97, for me, my absolute must have kits are the Clutter kits, as well as the Party Essentials kit. After those, my most favorite ones are the CAS based ones (what can I say? I like giving my sims clothing & style options), and then the B/B themed ones.

shandy_lou97 Book Nook might be on my list next, too. The volume of indoor plants and decor in the trailer for the upcoming Enchanted by Nature pack is inspiring me to add an equal amount of books...
