@EA_Mai ....Ok here is my honest opinion. I voted DIY because it's the most all around look. But if this pack is going to appeal to all, then knitting\crocheting cannot be the only option for a craft room period! They need to incorporate a sewing machine, cutting patterns, maybe making homemade craft items such as picture frames, greeting cards,...ie birthdays, xmas, etc..., wrapping gifts, maybe macrame plant hangers and wall hangings, maybe a loom of sorts. A craftroom is going to be something different for all, so why not make it appeal to all so that it gives everyone the choice to choose what their simmies will do and how their room is set up? Make it appeal to all, if not the sales of this pack will tank on so many levels. This pack needs variety, so please give us choice.
I own every basegame, EP, GP, SP and kits for all sims, ie.., sims 1, 2, 3 and 4

DIY, but only for a few reasons. I like the adult female outfit, the hanging lights, the craft table (it's a great size), and the rug. I like the storage options in GC and CC better, and I like the hanging plants. I hope there will be some appropriate clutter though. The stuff that's in there is cute in its own way, I love the pink ball of yarn on the floor in GC. I'm going to have to get to work on some elders.

What do you care about more? Stuff that you will be more likely to use most often, or stuff that the game doesn't have much of?
To me, the "DIY Delight" is just more of the same. It's a style we see reiterated over and over in this game, the more modern/clean lines look. Even some of the CAS items looked like just recolors of items we already have. It's cute and I like it and I can see myself using all of it, but it just feels overdone to me. The "Granny Chic" style really stood out to me because it's different. It's stuff we don't have a lot of, and some of the "granny" type things we do have are not very versatile, and these items seem like they will be much more so. The CAS items are very unique as well and stuff we don't have a lot of.
But again, what's better?? Even though DIY Delight is stuff I know I will use in almost every build, do I really just want more of the same type of stuff? I may not use all of the Granny Chic stuff, but that was my pick because it interested me.
A long-winded way of saying, what were y'alls priorities when you voted?

I picked what I was more likely to use - which is the DIY delight. What furniture we have like Granny Chic (which looks to me more like Cats and Dogs than Movie Night) I hardly ever use, so voting for more stuff I wouldn't use makes little sense to me.
Ideally, I'd like the rainbow knitted clutter/decor from Granny; the easy chair, shelving and loom from Cozy Comforts; and the clothing, other furniture -especially the cart and worktable, and toys from DIY... all in well saturated colors that don't look worn or washed out with age. (and aren't themselves old. No puce, no taupe, no Avocado Green, no Burn Orange.)
Granny chick. I see knitted stuff all over. It's the only one I like. If this wins it could be a cool pack.
Between the other two, cosy looks like it's knitting related. I am having a hard time seeing knitting in the diy. Simmers keep talking about furniture, but this is for the look, not what items will be there. I think they just should have had pictures of stuff each design could add.

Granny chic is more of the same too. It just has some interesting decor items that sims won't even be able to interact with. Plus, I prefer furniture with greater versatility and less over the top colors, because it's what people usually use irl in their houses.
Once again I'm torn because there are things in all of them that I like.
I wish everything from these public votes could just exist. All the ideas are always so amazing!
I had difficulty deciding. I like bits and pieces of all of them.
*The AF outfit in Granny Chic (that hat is too cute)
*Anything lace
*Hanging baskets
* That clock in Granny Chic
* The cool Elder outfit in Cozy Craft
* The AM sweater in Cozy Craft
* The storage shelves, wall organizer, and baskets in Cozy Craft
* Cat sweater and bunny? slippers on AM outfit in DIY Delight
* That awesome workstation in DIY Delight
* Wall organizer in DIY Delight
* Hanging lights in DIY Delight
I pretty much like anything that can hang on the wall and take up less floor space (mostly because I like cozy small homes, though not to say I don't play with ones otherwise.
Things I wish we were getting:
* Wooly Scarves and mittens
* Embroidery
* Sewing machine and threads
* Toddler and baby outfits
* Teen outfits
* More versatility and connectedness to other packs/expansions
* Expansion on Laundry Day items
* Additional art options (i.e. like crafts for kids and toddlers, expansion on woodworking, flower arranging, etc.)
* Cats can play with yarn balls, please!!!
* Patches in different colors and patterns for jeans
* Embroidered jeans (without the rips and tears in them like the AF in Cozy Craft
To be completely honest, I have low expectations, and I often play for storytelling purposes, so I'll probably like whatever we get. I tend to be pretty positive, and if I need something else, there's always CC. I tend to wait awhile, like for a sale, to purchase packs anyhow, so it gives modders a chance to update.
DIY delight for sure. It's the most hip and modern, and just fits the best with the other packs in my opinion. Plus, that outfit on the YA girl is super cute!
I voted for Cozy Craft Workshop because I love how the interior and the items look. Not a fan of the clothing, but I like everything else in that category.
In RL I don’t have a room set aside for crocheting, I just pull out what I’m working on and sit in a recliner chair with the t.v on as background noise. And of the three Cozy had items that I could replicate that feel with.
