    Not sure about bunk beds but I'm sure spiral stairs would be included in a free update.

    Am I the only one who's confused to why bunk beds and spiral staircases aren't allowed to be gameplay objects for a stuff pack, but a rocking chair can be!?

    Good point! I would love both of those, but particularly spiral staircases.

    Bunk beds presumably require more complicated animation work- especially if we don't want our sims teleporting into the beds and hovering in the air while making them in the morning like with the CC bunk beds. It's fine for CC, but we'd expect better from Maxis (or at least I do.)

    Spiral stairs I think it's a trick with making the animations still work with the variable wall heights.

    Also...why can't we just have all these items? ;-;

    Because there's a budget...

    Just saw that! I voted for that rocking chair. I think I voted for the plants and maybe the desk too, I like it but I really hope it comes in a “non knitting decor swatch” with just the lights and maybe books or pens here and there. I really like these lights, personally I would like to have them separately too to put them on book shelves for instance.

    I didn’t vote for that basket, I think I voted for number 1 but hesitated with number 4.

    I like the chair with arms and the knitting basket but am indifferent about the rest.

    So do I !! And many other people so I think we might get one. Especially since we don’t have them for now in the game, except in debug mode.

    9 was the rocking chair I voted. I do hope it ends up winning. I liked all of the craft baskets so honestly idk which one wins. I'm surprised 3 is the current most voted craftable item. I do hope those cat and bear toys make it in the pack.

    The only one I'm not thrilled on is that big table. It looks like something for some generic arts and crafts, not knitting. :/

    Well, the theme was Arts and Crafts. The gameplay was knitting. I only voted Knitting because Sewing wasn't an option (and for these purposes, I don't consider cross stitch or embroidery sewing - they're crafting.) So I'm among those okay with it not being 100% All Knitting All the Time for the items. I want to build a craft room, not a Knitting nook.

    The rocking chair and craft basket were my runner-ups, and I voted for both of the objects. Just hoping for hanging plants and lots of plushies (grimmy doll!)

    I was spoilt for choice in this round! It was so hard to decide since I liked almost everything, but I finally voted today. I'm ridiculously happy we're getting rocking chairs. I can't wait to see the final results.
  • Sara1010PSara1010P Posts: 888 Member
    Almost every knitter I know likes to have a nice comfy chair to sit in when doing their knitting, so I am glad to see the rocking chair return, though I do hope it's use isn't limited to just knitting, I would like to be able to rock my toddlers to sleep at least. I also wonder why we can get a rocking chair in a stuff pack but not bunk beds, but spiral stairs is something they need to include in a patch when and if we ever get them, they are not something that should be included in a pack we have to pay for. I was pleasantly surprised by the choices in build buy. I think the one item I want more than just about anything else is the little plush turtle though. Don't know why, but it really tickled my fancy.

    Ah man, the toys!! The grim doll is adorable, and the penguin, and the turtle!

    I love the style of this pack. It’s so great to be excited for something again! I love the colours, the cute designs, happy energy and the potential for family stories and elder/toddler/child inclusion.
  • MortryddMortrydd Posts: 20 Member
    I defenitely was't excited about this pack (still hold out hope for a Happy Haunts Gamepack), but honestly, those hanging plants, the llama plant and those stuffed animals (the grim and clown tho) has me sold. If they don't show up in b&b, Im out.

    I don't begrudge the people who wanted a Rocking chair the Rocking Chair... but I'd rather have had a sewing machine as a second gameplay object...
    Oh well. :smiley:

    Just please, PLEASE one with padding. You don't want your sim's bones to suffer, right?

    Not to worry, I voted for the two I liked, and they both were versions that had the padding. I myself need padding on a chair!

    why was the big table split in half like that? i didn't vote for it because i didn't want to waste two votes on one item..
    That's the reason I didn't vote for either one and also the community has gone so crazy for it, I assumed one of them will make it, so why waste my votes for something that is probably a sure win without my vote.


    I think I might have voted for all of these. Now what I want to know is how long before we see the results. I know there isn't an answer. I just really want to see what won.

    Well, with the vote being over I can only pray that the gurus make smart choices on how to incorporate the top voted objects. I really don't want a repeat of the CAS vote where despite the so called claims of 'balance', adult women got most of the clothes. I'd like to see some actual diversity here. And overall, I hope they prioritize the craftables. Again, the CAS vote left us with less than half of the clothing options that we can actually knit. I hope that won't be the case here.
