... However. I find it hard to equate this pack with Tiny Living. The bed, sink and toilet are not compatible with off the grid. Even the most basic research on tiny houses will uncover lots of off the grid items commonly in use, such as composting toilets, grey water systems. etc. At the least, the sink and toilet should be tagged for off the grid...
It's so funny that you mention this @CelSims , while in my comments (and on twitter, etc) I've been asking for an upgrade to the Off the Grid trait with a few items; like a solar panel = power, an antenna or dish = internet/tv and rain collection or an on demand water unit = better water without negative moodlets, lol. To so many the point of Tiny Living is a smaller carbon footprint, lower bills, and for some, the ability to take your house with you (tiny houses on wheels). [*Editing to add: While I still think it would be fun to have these things, after more thinking, and more Tiny Living pack discussion my views on the Off the Grid trait have changed, and I think Tiny Living is going to give me a good bit of what I'm hoping for for my TH sims (not all - still hoping for ladders, 1x1 closets and a better compost toilet).*] ๐
At first I was thinking will wait until it goes on sale. I love the build buy items that can be used for tiny homes, small homes or any home for that fact.
I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to wait for it to go on sale, but I might not since stuff packs don't go on sale as often and I'm actually pretty excited for this pack.
Lol, maybe us 'yes' voters could form a non-smart mindless buyers club.
I hope none of you are betraying our low standards by opting to buy the pack because you think you'll have fun with it.
We so have to get together for coffee.
I will have to wait for a sale or hopefully win one but I Promise when I do I will try very hard not to have any fun. Wouldn't want to tip the standards scale.

I really liked the live stream and the refreshing candidness about designing packs. Definitely one of their best live streams! Also love the BB objects and CAS items ๐ฅฐ I love what they are doing with items now, making them more modular and the great adjustments they made in the patch. I love the direction they are headed in!
I'm not paying $10 for a bed that was originally supposed to be in 'City Living', delayed until 'Discover University', and then finally put into a stuff pack simply because EA is greedy and loves milking this franchise to death.
Unlike other people, I don't just mindlessly buy whatever EA tries shoving down my throat.
If anything, this should've been a free patch... definitely not worth buying.
What's your evidence that this was supposed to be in City Living or Discover University?
I really like the style of both the BB and CAS items, so yeah, I'm definitely buying it. Guess that makes me not smart but whatever, it's better than me wasting $10 on fast food or Starbucks.
Well, golly. I guess I have to buy it now, since I don't qualify as an Oh-So-Smarty Pants. What a shame. Well, since I'm lacking in Conspiracy Theories, I'll just have to go have fun with the Murphy Ghosts instead. Darn!

Donโt bother. I posted the time stamp for the livestream where it was explained about how the Murphy bed came about, and they wonโt watch, they just want to complain and slam the dev team at every opportunity. Letโs just wallow in our franchise destroy giddiness, and have fun with the game we love โค๏ธ.

In Sims 2, it was released with 'Apartment Life'. In Sims 3, it was released with 'University Life'. Both times being an expansion pack that just happened to include it as additional content to what was already a very detailed pack. This is the first evidence of EA simply becoming greedy after Sims 4 was released.
Concept art from 'City Living' included the Murphy bed... which means the developers had already drawn out the overall idea of what one would look like in Sims 4... but it was dropped in favor of those ridiculous talking toilets that nobody asked for. About a month before 'Discover University' was released, one of the gurus released a picture of a VERY similar animation (in fact, most likely the SAME animation) as the Murphy bed crushing a Sim... they did it as a teaser for 'Discover University'.
The fact that we're being charged $10 for a "My First Murphy Bed Stuff Pack" just a few months after 'Discover University' is NOT a coincidence! The only reason this pack isn't receiving as much backlash as 'My First Pet' (which you probably enjoyed anyway) is because EA was at least smart enough to not call it 'My First University Stuff Pack'.
I will buy the pack as it is an stuff pack and will still wait for an good deal.

I had already decided after the trailer because I really like the BB style. Also, this is one of the times where I already have a Sim in mind to try the new stuff with. He has the Survivalist reward trait from completing the Outdoor Enthusiast aspiration and his name his Lars Albertson, which already sounds like he's been waiting to go full-on hygge!
Yes, I am loving the style of the BB items, looking forward to the tiny home lot trait things, yes it looks like a good pack to me. Conspiracy theories be gone!
Maybe eventually. If I can get it on sale. I quite like the content, but I am not hankering for it and on the whole I have found stuff packs poor value for money.

we all try ...
(Seriously, am I crazy for thinking that tiny living should at least have bunk beds???)
No, you're not crazy for thinking that. Bunk beds didn't fit within the budget for a stuff pack. I think we'll see them in a future GP or EP.
