I don't hate it, in fact I enjoyed it more than expected, but I have no interest in the theme. I lost every vote.
That is part of it, the votes. People were disappointed they did not win. The other thing is some people seemed to get it in their head that this would be more than a stuff pack if you will. Those disappointed over not having an elder pack or a full on arts and crafts pack expected more out of this pack than the narrow focus of knitting, and I would argue of a stuff pack.
That is what sort of annoys me about some of the criticism. A fair number of times I see people dismiss Happy Haunts that other people wanted saying it should be a GP, but isn't arts and crafts/hobbies the same? It has to contain a bunch of stuff unless it would be just knitting stuff, sculpting stuff, ceramic stuff, etc. It was never going to be all happy haunts or all arts and crafts, but one.
I would have to agree on this as being a reason for folks casting shade at nifty knitting....and who doesn't understand? It is too bad though because the knitting skill is really fun and the pack did come with some lovely decor and furniture that blends very nicely with the tiny house stuff pack...an added bonus when one pack compliments another. I think of it this way ..what if we could have slow dancing in the game and then suddenly we get salsa dancing instead ...i want to slow dance at weddings ..so many wanted happy haunts ...it just stings when something is so close and then is taken away.
