Round 3 results reveal!

I'm glad that nr 49 made it, I voted on them, but sad that nr 46 didn't make it.

DISCLAIMER: Designs are still In Progress and could change during development.

I wanted to share a little bit about the gameplay and the results with you all. The CAS items numbered in blue are the items we're currently planning to let you craft via the knitting skill.

With the community voted Stuff Packs we try to respect the vote as much as possible. This pack is unique in that the CAS assets have actual gameplay implications since you will be able to knit (some) of the clothing items. With that in in mind we swapped one adult female top for a child sweater(#80) in order to have something to knit for kids. This child sweater was ranked 23rd in overall votes.

The current plan is to let you unlock different clothing knits (and objects) at different skill levels, similar to how existing crafting skills work in game. We're investigating having these crafted clothing items only unlock in CAS after they are crafted, but that may or may not make it into the final game. Knitted Objects would work like current craftable objects, in that they are not available in the Build/Buy catalog, but you can craft them and then place them in the world.

We'll have more details to share about the gameplay in the coming weeks and months. Why does it take so long for us to talk about gameplay? Because of development schedule for Stuff Packs we have to front load art assets (clothing and objects). When we select these assets we know the pack theme, the art style, and the major gameplay feature(s), but the specifics of the designs aren't worked out yet because we don't start working on the gameplay (coding, tuning, text, etc...) until much later, usually right before or right after the art assets are complete.

I hope you find this information interesting and insightful.

Have a great weekend, and Happy Simming <3

I am ridiculously happy that we'll be able to actually have them knit something for the children and toddlers too! <3 Thanks for sharing that information, @SimGuruSarah :)

I'm kinda disappointed, to be honest... I voted for 21, 29, 55, 70 and 80, so a lot of my initial choices are in the pack but it still feels a little off to me...

I'm glad that male sims got surprisingly many options included but female sims still get more stuff. Not to mention, the two male tops look almost identical (except for the scarf) which is unfortunate...

I also find it funny that the theme is knitting, yet we have tops like 33 in there. I don't know why but I don't think we needed any more tank tops or jeans (especially for female sims).

I'm also glad that toddlers and kids got stuff too, even though male children didn't get anything. Also, sad that we only get one hat (I hope they will make it cover the sims' ears because hats look awkward when they just sit on top of the sim's head.

Great selections!

I actually didn't realize that when we voted for CAS that we were also voting for the knitting items. Somehow I thought that was going to be a different voting segment.

It will be a cute pack none-the-less though. <3

Lol, none of the choices that I voted for didn't make it. I'm sad that we didn't get wool socks or cold weather hats that were available.
71 looks like something we already have for toddlers.
Congrats for people who voted for these items, though. :)

Just wanted to cast a vote - informally - for not having these items only unlock in CAS after crafting. I might buy this pack for the CAS and Build/Buy even if the knitting activity doesn't interest me as much. I would rather be able to have those items all of the time, rather than force my sims to knit just to access them.

4 male tops, 4 female tops and one female bottom. one dress and one top for kids, a dress and a bodysuit for the toddlers, a pair of boots, and a teddy bear hat. Not as tot/kid heavy as I hoped, less female heavy than I feared. I'll take the win.

Very happy that #70 both made it in and is knitable. :smiley:

Surprised that more hats didn't make it (and the one that did I didn't vote for - I wanted the Cloche and the viking hat.)

Kinda disappointed that #32 isn't knitable, but not to the point where I'm going to sweat it.

Not seeing the knitting elements very well in #33 or #49, but #33 could be yarn sewn flowers on a knit fabric top. #49 looks more like Bejazzled jeans with cuffs - Very DIY, if not very knitting.

I had hoped for more knitted hats. I guess I can hope that some more hats, socks, mitts and scarfs will end up in the crafting part of the pack

No boy clothes is disappointing.
