    @AznSensei

    Your right, there really is so many styles of gothic, it originally was architecture like this 800px-Statue_of_Oliver_Cromwell_outside_Palace_of_Westminster.jpgRoyal_Gallery%2C_Palace_of_Westminster.jpg800px-London_-_The_Parliament_-_2779.jpg and there came so many revivals of it, in buildings and dress. But the antique classic gothic is my favorite over the new stuff. :)

    Thanks for posting Azn.

    Actually this entire set makes no sense, IMO.

    It looks great and is really impressive but it's only "Gothic" because it's black.

    And what's with the rugs? What makes these special that we needed new rugs for them?

    This seems just slapped together. Lucky it looks good because I'm in a filthy mood today. :lol:

    They should have just called it Living and Dining as we pretty much have dining tables >.> and like 2 dining chairs. The atmosphere feels like Living and Dining

    It's the Gothic Americana one from Pets.

    Thanks for the info. I will have to check it out once I reinstall pets. ( Bad pressing of the disk. The game wouldn't install properly. Thankfully EA finally set a replacement. )

    Now that is really nice, even I would buy something like that :D

    I'm getting so impatient for all these premium items though. First the fryer and ice-cream maker and now this tablet thingy. I want to buy them NOW!!

    I just googled all this and was amazed that some of this is not in the store yet >.<

    I actually like this sleek goth look, especially the outfit of the girl with glasses and the first picture of the male.

    I do wonder if the rugs are a different size though, which may be why they are sold?

    Thank you for this thread, AznSensei. I'm trying to decide if I want to pick apart this set (the bat couches just aren't appealing and there's some other take-it-or-leave-it stuff for me) or if it's worth it to buy it together to save money. Can anyone post recolors of the rugs? I'm not sure if I want to get those if the only difference from base game rugs is the lack of a border. It would be very much appreciated!

    Oh, and I'd definitely snap up both the modern and classic gothic clothing people posted. That first outfit with the vest that Azn posted is awesome.

    Has anyone noticed that most of the set screenshots show a high round backed chair as long as the square one even though it's not listed in the set? It's got a white quilted pattern on it in the screenshot with the Goths in the living room and it's in full black in one of the other screenies.

    I'm curious too as I want to know if that is a "stencil" or alternative to the chair.

    I think they are differen't sizes, like 3x3 and the small one ... I dunno.

    But it looks like instead of 2 re-colorable options, this one will have one. Like the base-game 2x3 striped rug...

    I for one, am happy there's new rugs. It's about bloody time.

    Edit: Also, upon looking at pictures, are there new patterns with this set? Or did they just to really good recoloring jobs of existing ones?

    Thanks for posting hun. :) I'm going to collect this one individually since I'm so far behind on getting store sets I want :roll: getting points is taking longer than I hoped. Lol. Can't wait to give my simmies the "iPad" when it's up for individual sale. Wish there were new clothes I'm obsessed with dressing my sims :lol:

    You are so right! Good eye and good catch!



    Azn, awesome post, once again. Thank-you!

    Thanks for the links :-)

    I love the tablet (though not sure if its a bit too cheaty for my liking, sure there will be a mod to change that though). If it were for individual sale I'd buy it right now but in a few weeks I'll probably decide not to. =/ silly system, I don't want the rest of the set no matter how awesome it is.

    The system is ridiculous. I like the entire set but I can't afford it, so I was planning on getting a couple of items and the PC... but now I'm not sure about it :?

    probably the only item I wont use all the time from this set is the PC item, but that aside I just love the set.

    You mean the circled chair?

    I don't think that's a re-color of anything already available to simmers. This should be included in the set IMO.

    You and me both, Tojax.

    I dunno about buying individually or not.

    SimGuruTatertot mentioned something about there being new wall paper in this set, so my guess is that the patterns are new (the ones he was talking about)

    I really like this set, it's really sleek and modern. Just not sure if it's worth 1,500 simpoints...... :?

    I sort of agree, sort of.... I think I'm 50/50.

    There's 1 item of PC and this set is only 300 sim points cheaper than the Fiesta set that had 2 PCs.

    On the other hand, you're getting (I believe) 2 completely new meshes in this with the rugs and at least 2 new patterns.

    Does it make it worth the 1,500 pts? I sure hope so, I want to believe so. But I don't own it so I couldn't say since I haven't seen it in-game.

    I just busted open the files and there are no new pattern files included. Lemme have a poke around to see if there are that were installed another way. Back in a sec.
