When
@SimGuruGraham was in charge during the first community stuff pack he was really listening to what we wanted I remember seeing post on this forum with suggestions for clothing, objects and some of the objects being separated for better decorating options and we got some of those things and Laundry Day was so much better because of it. We really had a voice in the pack this go around it seems more so vote on a set of completely predetermined styles and the community involvement is just voting on these things. I'm voicing this now before we get to the actual object and clothing vote in hope of
@SimGuruNinja seeing this and giving us a little more power in what we get in this
sewing knitting pack. Well I'm assuing Ninja is in charge could be another Guru but that goes to show how little Guru involvement beyond telling us to vote has been this go around.
Comments
I hope by the time we get to the next vote, after the official style is chosen, they'll be more involved here on the forums.
These suggestions are being made, there are threads with suggestions for objects and such...but yeah not a lot of people care. I think in part, it's due to the theme. It doesn't appeal to a lot of people.
exactly I wish they'd throw in comment or 2 if they are around at least
atm it's like filming some ghost show and asking if ghosts are around repeatedly but no ghost ever moves a letter on board or give you a beep and you are just assuming they're either not there or don't wanna talk
or perhaps this is what we needed that ouija board for

Yeah knitting was like my least wanted pack. I was surprised it was voted that highly.
Oh, and more people actually voted for this theme than for Laundry. So it's quite a popular theme.
Or were the other options even less appealing? As I remember the 1st round the options seemed niche based, not something with broad appeal.
Or you could be 45 and knit... or 30 and knit... or 12 and knit...
Please stop thinking knitting is just for old people. It's not. It never has been, except in some people's ageist minds.

This is totally true. Going about my daily life one of my co workers whose young and in collage was telling me she knits than a week after one of my friends just randomly expressed that’s their hobby too and it’s a man in his 30’s. It was super weird how it was casually expressed. I was half way tempted to ask do you play the sims at all lol? I’m totally on board with it but do have my doubts. How much involving gameplay can come from this? Not much a stuffed animal, scarf, and maybe two or three holders of some sort. Maybe a moodlet and social action. It’s too casual. Happy haunts seemed to have way more involvement, with more versatility across all your sim plays. This one seems to be extremely subjected to one thing and maybe two or three sim families.
You should see the comments when DIY was released as the winner. People were screaming that it wasn't Granny because they wanted to make this an elders pack.
Oh, I know. I was hoping that since DIY won, the "Blech, Knitting is just for elders" group (as opposed to "Yay, something for elders do to" group, which I have different issues with) would stop seeing this as just for elders. But I guess that was too much to expect.
I voted for Knitting cos i knit in real life
> I'm hoping for one thing- minimal "granny" furniture. I know it's not going to happen, but I really don't like it.
I agree. People who do crafts related hobbies don't mainly dress in homemade clothing or decorate their houses with granny furniture.
Yeah I guess if it was more themed as an elders pack I would be happier. Finally something for them! As it is, I'm looking on the bright side that my Mommy Blogger sims just got a new craft room.
I hope that we'll still get the Retirement Home/Bingo/"Generations" for Elders GP, they lack so much gameplay that I jsut sit and wait their death in SIms 4.
But that's the thing. I hate this entire concept, but knitting isn't just for old people. All ages do it, and that's why people voted the way they did.
That, and i don't dress my elders in the "stereotypical" elder clothing.
