Basement Treasures looks like more a Delivery Express content than a kit

Seriously, the items are useless unless you wanna create a old attic or basement, which could be a Delivery Express release than a Kit. I mean, not all houses have a basement, and those items aren's precisally exclusives for that room, and without an attic room tool, it's useless.

A real basement related kit must include some real life utilities items like water boilers/heaters, services meters, grid stuff like fuse box, pipes, valves and some others like workbenches, pegboards and other stuff, not only broken and old furniture.

Agree. Also the logical place for laundry room and the home gym. An item isn't a treasure unless it's useful in some way. We already have way too much stuff that is static.

I think everyone's idea of what goes into a basement is different based on their experiences and I find that to be quite funny. Where I come from the basement usually doubles as a cellar, so it would be filled with jars upon jars of preserves and, depending on season, lots of empty jars. My grandma used to also keep a big trunk filled with grain in her basement and a barrel or two with home made plum brandy and her chickens that were hatching eggs over winter. She also had there a wood burning stove that she used to cook tomato juice on. Sometimes she baked pumpkin on it. There might have been a broken chair too, as fuel for the stove.

A cellar or pantry kit is a good idea.

This kit...well kits in general are not really appealing in my opinion. I guess it helps the Mac and console users who do not have access to mods.

Oooo... a functional furnace/boiler, hot water tank, electrical panel, etc... and having them breakdown suddenly (surprise cold shower)? What a fun idea.

Personally my preference would be for things useful to 'everyone' be given to us for free (SDX) while people who want niche things (eg basement/attic/old-storage-room decor) can buy specific packs for that. It seems anti-cash grabby to me.

Imagine the possibilities. How mucho drama could be added
