Round 3 results reveal!

Well at least the men get more items; I deliberately did not vote for any adult female clothing save for one (because everyone else will just vote for them anyway) just to have more for the men and children. Only getting 1 hat is disappointing but *sigh* okay. For #29 & #51, it's the scarf that's knittable, right? Or is it the whole outfit?

Is there another survey after this one? They should really be constructing the surveys better. The first one was itemized and organized, but then the ones after are just a let's-dump-everything-into-one-survey-question mess. I think it was a mistake that the survey was just choose 15 out of all the CAS categories lumped together.

I am shocked by the taste of people who voted these average joe items that require zero creativity and effort from the art team. We already have VERY SIMILAR items in game. If you disagree, I can remind you what we DO NOT HAVE ALREADY; Llama hat, viking hat, male cat-sweater, knitted male joggers, male child clothing, pet clothing...

I am disappointed with the community's artistic vision, really.

I agree. That definitely surprised me at the time. I think we should have had to vote by category not choose 15 from the lot. It would also have been great if we had been given a clearer way to indicate which ages and genders we most wanted items for. I know I am not alone in wanting to see more content for kids and toddlers. I'm pleased some items got picked for those groups, but I am sad that the items I personally voted for were mostly not chosen.

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.

I must admit I'm rather partial to this idea or the unlockable CAS items. I know that's probably not a popular opinion but I'd rather have them unlockable during gameplay; it makes sense to me because it makes the gameplay, in this instance knitting, worthwhile. How useful would it be it those items were already in CAS? Being unlockable at different skill levels is also nice because it represents the varying difficulty of the items. It's actually a lovely idea! <3

I'm also looking forward to seeing the knitted objects! <3

I'll say it before and I'll say it again. This shows the producers have a dilemma with trying to move away from the YA centric fashion. It wasnt the most diverse range but there were a few items which could have been suitable across all age ranges and these have been ditched in favour of crop tops and trendy hipster boots. I know knitting is not an activity exclusive for the older generation but with this my hopes for an eccentric elder are gone. As lilsmimsie said in her video, grandma has well and truly died.

Coolio! I did not know for sure that we would be able to knit those options we voted. Glad to have that confirmed!

I like the idea of some outfits being exclusive to those into knitting (or gifted by them, of course). The only feature (that might be) missing now is to make items personally accessible. Wondering how that will work, will this clothing item be stored in a sim's personal inventory? I do miss the clothing techs from TS2, would like sims to pay for outfits and to have access to only the items they bought. Would be so much easier assigning certain styles to them :) Knowing this is a SP, they will probably not adjust the all over outfit system, though.

Very disappointed by the vote results as if most of the ugliest and plain pieces were voted the most. But that's just my opinion. I really thought the vote was for the knitted items for the pack... didn't understand they were more so meant as regular CAS items. Should have had different votes and be clear about it. Next time, pls, don't give us a ton of options and only allow us to pick like 13% of the variety.

Wish all the packs would've had the same amount of new CAS items for all ages and both genders. I hope that mistake will be corrected in future sims 5.

Nonetheless, I'll buy the new pack when it's released as I really, truly want the knitting skill and deco items around the theme (even if it wasn't my favorite style). Most of all would have wished this to be a more expensive game pack and featured different arts and crafts all together including knitting, crocheting, sewing, embroidery, crafting for adults, jewelry making (would have been great use of the numerous gems in game), sculpturing - especially statues and other decorative items from clay, wood, stone and ice like in sims 3.

PS. Also supporting the idea of making the knitted items locked until you knit them in game - however, just to be fair, they should also be available by using a cheat just like you can use locked career and event price items that way, because there are a lot of creators who don't actually play at all.

I can't remember what I voted for now...I know I wanted the toddler booties, and those didn't make it. But number 70! Love!

Are you seriously? This is just a disaster, and there aren’t enough knitted hats, but only one option was chosen and something similar to what is already in the game. Top 32 and 33 - the most unprepossessing that was offered, there are such cute things for toddlers and pets, but they chose what I already can find in the game.

I'm very disappointed by the results to be honest. Apart from a couple of winning items, it's like the least inspired assets won. I don't get it.
Also, knowing now that the votes were not the only metric to select the final items, if they planned to only include one hat from the get go for example, they should have separated the items into categories for us to vote.
