What's your opinion on kits?

I just bought both the dust kit and the kitchen kit. I think it worth the money, the dust kit will give my maid something to do rather than just standing around. The dust is a bit much at first, but I am getting into the groove.

I see the good side to them, well first of all we dont know how many packs the sims 4 has left, all packs go with a theme and all items and gameplay have to go with that theme, with kits because they are smaller they can add content they cant add through packs because it doesn't go with the theme that's coming next, we can have endless possibilities with this, a sleepwear kit, casino kit, arcade kit, smoothie maker etc

Exactly this!! A lot if people fail to see the endless possibilities this brings to get stuff we normally wouldn't. I love them so far. I have all 3 and it's a blast. I personally have no problems with the price. I think it's fair but that's just my opinion.

I have mixed feelings, the bust the dust kit seems good, it adds a lot to your daily life on your home lot which is something that the game lacks, I just worry that it will get old pretty fast.

I think it's sad that the community have asked for more kitchen furniture for ages but the team have always prioritized other furniture so they have to make kits to bring them into the game. I guess it's good that we finally get more but it's sad to see that we have to pay more to get it.

As someone who plays with CAS a lot I feel that the throwback fit kit is not something that we were really lacking but the items look nice enough.

So I'm not super negative but I do worry that this will lead to an oversaturation of stuff and small gameplay features and larger gameplay features that will require more development will be more rare.

Sorry, but I will disagree with you on the price. All three of these kits combined have less content than 1 stuff pack (except maybe the first few created) and cost nearly as much as a game pack. I think 2-3 dollars would be a little more fair unless they decide to add more content to the kits later on.

That doesn't mean I'm not hopeful for later kits. I'm just not entirely sold on the first 3 (except maybe the kitchen, I just want more swatches for versatility).

Honestly I hope they do more collaborations with cc creators. And personally I would love something like a skin details CAS kit. It could be an opportunity to add a lot of CAS assets players have been asking for. Body hair, vitiligo, more tattoos, stretch marks etc. Personally I would love more freckles options and those cc eyelashes the simmers I watch use. They're so pretty, I want them! Maybe also some nailpolish?

can ea please stop owning the Sims franchise?
their greed is getting ridiculous

I love the kits. I had a gift card so I bought them all. I disliked some of the newest packs so much and was glad to finally see something that was not Star Wars or supernatural.

My opinion on the Kits is kind of mixed at the moment. I have seen the trailer and the livestream on this. And I have seen some things that I did like and some things that I have doubts about. Which is causing me to have mixed opinion on Kits right now.

I am mixed myself. They have good and bad points. I do not think $5 for a smaller pack is outrageous and I really like the idea of doing something that can fix content droughts. They may not be able to tell us what is coming, but we can play with a new kit in the meantime. Plus kits are the quickest, said the livestream, and let them do more nonstandard ideas since they do not have to appeal to as many people as the bigger packs. (It gives niche players a shot a proper niche content.)

More specifically, I like Bust the Dust and think the gameplay kits are a good and fairly inexpensive way to stack new gameplay for a more complex game. I am encouraged by the exemplary gameplay kit.

The BB kit I am torn on and do not think I can evaluate accurately just yet. I have really wanted a rustic style for my kitchens for a long time. I was always going to get this kit. It was more assured than Bust the Dust, even though gameplay is the most important thing to me. So my bias is kind of cheating me out of a proper evaluation of BB packs right now. All I know is I like my new kitchen, the fridge looks like the one I have in my real house (except an actually normal color), and they work off the grid so I am thrilled with it. I built a farmhouse with it today.

As for Throwback, the CAS kit, I do not see it being worth $5. A CAS kit with just clothing is a BB kit with just clutter in my opinion. Sure, it is still a value judgement of how much you will use it and how much that usage means to you, but I have a higher expectation of CAS variety for an exemplar kit. No hair, no accessories, no jewelry, no tattoos, and certainly nothing new like body hair was added. I am not expecting gameplay or miracles in CAS kits, but new clothes alone will not keep my game fresh. CAS deserves meaningful expansion, too, even $5 at a time. Throwback just was not it.

Whether the content is worth the price depends on the way you play, which is the whole point of the kits. I bought the Throwback Fit Kit and I absolutely love it. I am having a lot of fun creating outfits with the new items and older packs. Just posting a few examples under the spoiler to show why I enjoy the new items.

But I spend at least 30% of my time in CAS, for me this is a big part of playing the game.

On the other hand, I never wanted dust in my game, so I am not getting that kit and I think the Country Kitchen is cute, but not worth 5 bucks for the way I play my game. And even though only one kit appealed to my playstyle I do enjoy seeing what other players do with the kits that I didn't get.

And of course the kits are a new way to make money, to "grab our cash". That's what every company does, search for new ways to make money. We'll see if this will turn out to be a successful idea or not.
