We want world packs, not kit packs.

I think the Kits idea is cool! That is, if it is not replacing other content created. It might mean that future packs will get less quirky stuff that we hardly use, but rather focus on their man features giving us a deeper game. If I get this right, Kits will be much smaller than stuff packs, with a much more narrow focus. Vacuum cleaning seems like a great example - it's tip top that all simmers who want to clean their sims' household now get this feature, while I can skip it because I have no intention of spending simming time on cleaning my 100+ households. If this rather extreme feature was introduced as part of a gamepack or stuffpack it would have been forced onto me, because I wanted the main feature of that pack. I'm glad if they keep extreme features out of the other packs this way. Same goes for the retro clothing, I*m sure it comes with a few good items, but I would hardly use any of it in my game - if it was part of a bigger pack I would have been forced to add numerous never-to-be-used thumbs to my CAS catalog.

That said - I don't really see why country kitchen is a Kit. It seems to contain average traditional decor that feels way less extreme to most games. We all have a granny's house I guess, and we all might sooner or later have a farm where these items would match well. Perhaps this Kit comes with features I did not yet catch. I don't want my sims to spend say 4 hours cooking a meal, even if they gain mental super balance. It might be more of a hobby kit than a decor kit.

I'm looking forward to more kits, they might be a way to give us some of what we want, without filling an entire expansion pack .

I'm still a bit neutral on kits myself, and waiting until March 2nd when we learn more about what they're all about. But I do agree with you that they could be a good thing if they're not replacing anything. I'm also under the assumption that Kits will be smaller (and therefore cheaper) than stuff packs.

If indeed the idea is to put the more "niche" themes into these packs, then I think it could be good for what time we have left with Sims 4, since it could potentially allow stuff packs, game packs, and expansion packs to become better. I mean, I for one would be happy if all chores type stuff were kept strictly in kits from here on out. I have no interest in vacuum cleaning (or any of the other three packs for that matter) but if it's kept in it's own separate pack, I can more easily skip out on it than I could if vacuuming came with say, Werewolves.

I so badly want world packs. It would be a good way of getting more interesting worlds without dedicating entire packs to them. Roaring Heights, Sunlit Tides, Monte Vista and Midnight Hollow making a return as world packs would be a dream. I so badly want another island world but they will never do that with a full pack as Island Living is already there, same with another city world.

This right here. As much as I want new worlds, I would muuuch rather they be more unique/interesting worlds than something similar to what we already have. Scottish Highlands, a Norwegian World (or maybe even Norse Mythology inspired), beach front city/ town like Key West/Miami, Myrtle Beach/etc. Or something else different. I haven't played Sims 3 so I know nothing about the worlds you mentioned, but if they would bring something different to Sims 4 then I'd be all for it.
