Extras in Featured Looks sets?

Anmirla

Am I correct in thinking that only the last three Featured Looks sets (Sandy Shoals, Villa Paraiso and Fall in Love Again) contain extra items (lots/wallpapers)?

I know the price seemed to have been highly jacked beyond the price of the individual items for the Villa, and I can kinda understand it because it contains a built lot.
I'm one item away from owning all of the Charmingly Simple Kitchen, but my CYS price is 100 simpoints. The item I don't have is the rack which is a 25 point item. :roll: Was there something extra in this set that I'm not realizing to warrant this odd difference in price?
I'm waiting for the Mid-Century set to come up. I should be able to get it for dirt cheap or maybe even free and this will take care of that one item, but I'm curious if I'm missing anything else that may have been included with CSK.

I don't recall any extra's with that one. I'd stick to your original plan.

A couple include additional items. The Quaint Cottage came with a hair with a bandana, for example, and the Sandy Shoals had new walls.

Anmirla

Thanks for the responses.

So, this FL won't even be worth DLing once I get that rack with Mid-Century...but it will be worth it to knock it off of my OCD list.

The hair was already available as a single item. Sandy Shoals is the first featured set to include new previously unreleased content in the form of new wallpapers, and Villa Paraíso was the first featured set to include a building as part of the set.

The kitchen featured look has no bonuses in it, no lot or any other kind of extra.

Which is why op's plan of picking up mid-century first is best. 8)

Fall in Love Again has that nice little room on a 10x15(?) lot.

I hadn't seen it before anywhere, so new to me I guess

Yeah, there's a list floating around that must have 60-70 (maybe more) single store items that aren't included in any set.

I tried to do a search for that thread, but I keep getting Liam'd. :evil:

I think this is the list you were looking for, I keep in in my bookmarks, because I can never find it when I need it.

The featured look CYS pricing on the Monarch Suite is broken, it seems. A twenty-five point item only knocked off 20 points from the price. It should have reduced by the face value of 25 points, at the very least.

Yes! That's the one.
Stupid me didn't have it bookmarked, but I will now for future reference.

Thank YOU!

Hi, Anmirla!
Another thing which I have noted about those featured sets, those are containing too x-tra userPresets for used objects.
I've converted Sandy Shoals in packages and I've seen many packages called as "BeachHouse_WickerBasket1.package", "TableDiningBeach2x1 Extra Preset.package"; usw.
If are featured sets installed via launcher (I've made test with fabbric clean user's folder), those x-tra userPresets are shown in game with fucsia star icon (not package CC icon).
If you have already items installed (I've installed from Sandy Shoals only 10 walls) and you'll chose only to place converted lot in Library folder, you haven't x-tra userPreset saved in game (Create-A-Style) and except lot description is all showing correctly. At least in case Sandy Shoals there aren't unlocked stencils or something what you'll not able to make with design tool in game.
Sorry for my english :oops:

I think a lot of things are broken on this site.

Yeah, when I started a new file to get the Shanty lot to install, I noticed several extra files from other FL sets and deleted them if I already had them from the original set. I was hoping this wasn't going to be a problem.

And don't worry about your English.

I am happy to help! Thank you so much for the gift, you didn't have to, but it made me very happy. I really wanted those silly underpants for a certain Sims who is going to look adorable in them. I sent you a friends request too, because whenever I see your post they always remind me of what I am thinking.
