Tiny Living and little freedom of choice
I saw some of the build/buy previews and am a bit concerned about the choices that were made here by the developers. I assume it were time restraints and budget issues, but I don't get why so many objects are not also offered as a seperate or as a blank version.
A few examples:
Murphy Bed. We have seemingly 4 versions in the catalog, but 2 of those versions are just ones with a bookcase that is a separate object anyway. Unnecessary bloat in the catalog. What we don't have is a Murphy Bed without the painting and the weird little decorations. Now I can only use the Murphy Bed in a specific setup. I can't avoid the decorations on the shelf. If I have a living situation where I need 2 Murphy Beds it's gonna look ridicilous.
Also, why isn't the couch that comes with one of the Murphy Bed versions available separately? The couch looks great. Would have been nice to have the choice of placing this without the Murphy Bed.
TV/Bookshelf/Stereo combo. There is a lovely TV in there. Why isn't the TV available as a separate object, too? Would that have been so difficult or time-consuming to do? Yes, Modders will probably get this done quickly, but I'm also thinking about the console version.
Kitchen shelf. I mean the hanging shelf with the oven mits. It has lots of decorations on the shelfs and some small empty space for your own stuff. Why doesn't the shelf exist as an completely empty version? If I want to use the kitchen shelf, I can only use it once in my kitchen. Because there are no variations or opportunities for me to decorate this shelf to my own liking.
Some objects that would require more work to make modular:
The single bed. Lovely. Why no double bed in this version?
Barstool. Why no regular chair version of this? I love the simple, clean look of it. Would have been great to have this as a normal chair.
Rond High table. Again, why no regular table version of this? This only works with the bar stools. We would have desperately needed a small modern round table.
Pouffe. The pouffe is for some reason an endtable where you can put stuff on. Neat idea, but why can't their be a version where the pouffe functions as a chair?
I guess the last 4 examples would have been more time-consuming to accomplish, but I don't get the first 4 examples. Why wasn't it possible to offer us more choices on how we want to use the objects?
