[Spring Sale] Up to 60%

Yay for B&H -50% 😄🎉 I think I won't get anything this time 😊 But I might buy FR someday in the future. I'm a little bit interested in it because of the marbles and hopscotch and I guess the cas and bb are okay. What are the main things for you in FR?

I like Laundry Day and Nifty Knitting. My sims have laundry only sometimes but the cas and bb are nice and I think it is a really well made pack. Knitting is a great hobby and cas and bb are okay too. Yet sometimes I'm still sad about all the great stuff we didn't get in Nifty Knitting. I wish I had voted smarter when they were making the pack.

I wonder if some kits will be on sale when the Marketplace launches. I kind of think they might be or there might be something that lures people in 🤔 But this is purely speculation.

FR it is mainly the CAS/BB, but I may try the gameplay too. I have one Sim I float between homeless, and live in handyman fisherman, but sometimes I think he be nice to shove into a tenant slot (in a low income room/like the basement LOL) when I am not wanting to play him.

Nifty Knitting just looks like it will be a great hobby for an old bitty XD

I've been waiting for this expansion to go on sale for such a long time but now that it is, it's not included in the expansions available for bundle. Is this a mistake? The expansion is on 50% off already. I would get Vampires and Moschino together with this pack if it was on bundle. I want to make a Photography Studio for Vampires small business.

Discounted packs cannot be added to a bundle.

Really? Please correct me if I'm wrong but all expansion packs, except Royalty (new), Adventure Awaits (20%), and Enchanted by nature (35%), can be added to the bundle during a sale. Even when Life and Death was at 35%, it can be added to the bundle. This is exactly the reason why I only buy during a sale because I can bundle them AND take advantage of the sale discount.

As you can see in this screenshot, the expansions listed are discounted at 50% and starting from Snowy Escape onwards, they are discounted at 60%, and they can be added to the bundle. In fact, all the packs I own were already discounted when I bundled them during a sale. The discount from the bundle is even bigger because instead of 50-30-30 for EP, GP and SP, you get 57% discount across the board.

Happy to see Business and Hobbies at 50% finally. I have to ask though...how broken is it?

To the OP, I like laundry day because I enjoy having some realism and chores in the game. I am one of the weird people that likes Bust the Dust for the same reason though so maybe I'm not the one to ask. Anyway, I give probably 90% of my households a washer and dryer.

I got B&H finally. Was waiting for 50% off since I probably won't actually use the businesses much except for tattooing. Now I'm considering Adventure Awaits because I don't think I want to get it from the Marketplace. I really hated the Sims 3 store and fake currency, so I may bow out of anymore purchasing when the Market hits. 

EP/GP/SP are still going to be on Steam/EA App apparently, it is just Kits going to be Marketplace Exclusive with the new Maker Stuff after March 17th (or whatever).

On the subject of AA, I love the butterflies/entomology (it has some cross pack with OR/ECO/S). And I love the Critter Hunter Trait (Flutter Kiss, Flutter Eyes and Cocoon Hug), super girly and feminine but pet peeve, if you want this for a female Sim she will be the dominant for hand/arm positions (I personally think they should reverse the hand/arm placements, which I talk about in my more CAS selection post, as I don't know many male Sims would want pink and butterfly interactions).

The custom venues (but I use in as non-getaway) seem like more organized compared to most venues, that just seem like chaos. I really like the roles/schedule but most leave it open as free time. And work with Holding Court from R&L without issues. But there is a bug where the game still thinks you are on a getaway for being in a custom venue (getting buffs/sentiments for getaways). And certain lot traits don't seem to work with custom venues. And some activities have been reported to no work or not have an option too.

Bowfishing (through archery) I think works great if you want an adventurous/brave Archer/Swordman Sim.
