Will you buy the new kits?

I just did. :)

While the last few stuff packs were strong, most of them are worse than the kits and cost more money - luxury party, perfect patio, country kitchen etc..

Country kitchen is a kit.

As for the others, some stuff packs are certainly stronger than others, but they all came with at least one gameplay item. People might not miss stuff packs so much if their loss didn't coincide with significantly longer waits for EPs, and no gameplay kits... it's a double or even triple whammy. Whatever the various combinations of packs or lengths of time in a given year, in the past it was rare to go more than a couple of months without at least one new gameplay item. Whether it was GP-SP-EP-GP, or SP-EP-SP-GP-EP, or whatever the order of release, there were always gameplay additions in the mix. Now we're going 8 or 9 months or longer without even a single new gameplay object.

I meant cool kitchen stuff ?. And yes, one gameplay item such as a bird feeder with badly drawn birds, a popcorn machine, an ice cream machine which is just the same as the popcorn machine etc.. it wasn’t like most of the early ones had great must have gameplay.

Matter of opinion, I guess. I use the bird feeder, the popcorn machine, and the ice cream machine all the time, as well as the drink trays (from perfect patio, I think?). I'd be thrilled to go back to getting at least one or two items like that per quarter instead of just a bunch of CAS that I don't even like.

So now that I've seen all of the items, I'd say the bathroom clutter kit is going to be another miss for me. The hairdryer is nice, and I might use that if I had it, but I'm not paying $5 for a non-functional hairdryer. I do like the look of the light switches, too, but since we're getting one added to base game... and more importantly, since they are also non-functional... that's not an incentive, either.

I will probably get the simtimates kit, eventually. There are at least a few items that I like, and I'm very happy that more of the pieces are separates than I originally realized. E.g., there are a couple of bralettes that I think are extremely pretty, but I disliked the matching piece they were paired with when we first saw them. So now that I know I can use only the part that I actually like, I'm on board.

I'm a CC junkie for one reason: When I become bored with certain items, I can easily delete those items from my Mods folder. I am not forced to keep the same B/B or CAS assets and am free to change things up whenever I want. But i know many players prefer to play without CC and these kits will be a great addition to their games. :)

Having seen the pictures and video, the Simtimates Kit is moving up on my list of wants. I like the ability to mix and match almost all the items, and that by doing so you can go for a casual or romantic look.

The bathroom clutter kit is moving down my list though. I do like some items, but wish there were more swatches for the towels and rugs. And I kinda hate the toothbrush. I like the wall decals for kid's rooms though.

I love them both. The Simtimates kit isn't exactly what I wanted but as soon as i got it, I found several characters it worked on. Bathroom clutter is just all around good for home building.

I was interested in getting them when they were first announced, but after seeing what is in them, the low quality and not very interesting swatches, I kind of don't want them anymore. lol There are like 1 or 2 items I really like from both kits, but not sure if it is worth it. I'll have to wait and see.

I am far from being exited about both kits but the Bathroom Clutter Kit is nice enough.
I want the Simtimates only for the men's underwear because it makes good nightwear. I don't need the lingerie at all.

I'm probably going to buy them at some point.

I don't mind these kits - I like clothes and stuff. But I think we have so much clothes and stuff. We could use some more gameplay and building-focused kits.

From what I've seen I like both them enough to buy them later on (right now I don't feel like adding more content to my game).
