So typical of this community. The first reaction to new content being a complaint of what we don't get. Getting so tiresome, really.

i mean normally id agree with you but the pack name this time truly offends my soul

Why?

just that it doesn't feel like it matches the content of pack and I want tiny living things so much in my game but this just ain't it and it makes me frustrated

oh well at least I am saving money

To be fair, we don’t know the budget for a stuff pack. We can only speculate. And we get told certain things aren’t possible due to budget like how elevators are too expensive. But in all honesty I think that excuse is wearing thin.

But we also know, and it was one of the producers that said within the past 6 months that they have a lot of freedom when it comes to making packs so while I agree the bunk bed excuse is very flimsy at best, I think bunk beds are one of the golden items and that golden item will be dangled as long as possible and probably put in a very mundane pack so people buy it just for bunk beds.

Well to be fair bunk beds have been highly requested. They have been present in all sims games but TS1.

I'm still so mad that they didn't animate elevators, especially on an EP that barely had much content at all. And all because they saw using elevators as useless because "at the end of the day they are just moving sims up and down".

I don't think it's all just about tiny and multi-function stuff though, it looks like a build challenge to get a functioning house within a certain tile limit? Or am I watching the trailer wrong?

I think you're right. Also one of those 'tiny' houses in the trailer went up the full number of floors allowed. That's a 400 tile house (20x20) so is not even remotely tiny. Agree with the others that a lot of things that would logicaly fit into the theme are missing. But then, EA is in CA.

It's not that long since a major release, and now a stuff pack so soon? Getting antsy for the cash grab, aren't they?

Oh I agree, I just think bunk beds not being included is a decision to purposefully piece meal content, as opposed to “It doesn’t fit the theme”/no budget/ *insert excuse here*

Meanwhile have another re skinned single bed and the 50th toilet!

And the elavator thing still bothers me too.

Yeah... spiral staircases or ladders of some kind would be really obvious for the tiny house theme. All the real life tiny houses I've ever seen have the beds in a loft reached by ladders, not on the next floor with an outdoor staircase. But moving past that, I'd have to see the items that are in the kit in more detail before I could decide if I want it.

Come on, OP. Cut the devs some slack. The things you mentioned would be hard and stuff.

In the interests of tiny living I would rather have seen different space saving beds. But I guess that would fall under this:

A lot of stuff packs have had more than one game play object.

I feel like this is a cop out.

They already have all sims using a "climb a ladder" animation from the pool ladder and now the island living ladder to the ocean.

Raising the footprint of a bed up + reuse ladder animation + add a "slot" under the bed for another bed to snap into and ta-da, bunk bed.

Modders did this a few years ago (though there was no climbing animation added) and it worked fine. Items were also usable under the top bunk. I feel like this sort of tweet is just an excuse given by the gurus because the ceos don't want to pay for another month of work (if that).

Keep in mind this also has to do with the size of the pack. Some items will work better in a gamepack or expansion because they have more animations that have to be added.

I'm hoping for a Gamepack in February. We're certainly overdue for one.

That Murphy bed is in sims 3 uni, a whole expansion yet they making yall buy it in some random stuff pack.
