BB Kits - Thoughts

Sthenastia

After few weeks after Kits realise, I can share with you what I miss and what I expect form Build/Buy Kits on the base of Country Kithen Kit. In general I like Country Kitchen Kit, but I think that this Kit is incomplete. I have two major compleinments:

1. Lack of neutral swtches. Whole set is pastel and sometimes not match to the ret of the house. I expect some brown or darker colors.
2. There is no table, chairs and bar chairs. Due to that it is hard to create open kitchen with matching dining room.

According to my expirience with kits I want to suggest what Build/Buy Kits should include if the are only include one room set.

- full set of counters
- full set of island counters
- full set of cabinets

- cooker hood
- trash can
- lighting
- table
- chair
- bar chair
- few decorations
- microwave / kettle / blender / conne maker (depends of kitchen style)
- floor/wall texture (optional)

All of objects with a big chooice of swatches.

Living room (~30 meshes):
- couches (2 and 3 tiles)
- armchair
- pouf
- rug
- coffe table

- book shelves (standing and hanging variant - two per each)
- dresser / wardrobe
- plants

- another decorations
- curtines (1, 2, 3 tiles)
- floor/wall texture
- electronics

Bath room (~30 meshes):

That sound more like the itty bitty packs we get in TS4 and way too big for a "kit" to me, but I'm always happy to be proven wrong and would gladly pay $5 for a kit with 30 meshes in it.

Sounds like the size of Cool Kitchen with the ice cream maker. I bought it on sale for $7.49.

I would love if they made a cook top you could plop down on the counter instead of a whole stove/oven combo like we have now. I don’t think we will ever get one because I think it would frustrate people too much not being able to make any recipes that require an oven.

I agree with the whole thread. Yes a cook top would be great for truly creating tiny homes. We have most else but full stoves really expand the space and without it sims don't eat very well.

There is the hotpot that came with Snowy Escape, it can be put in inventory, so it's great for tiny homes. A cooktop would occupy the same space as a stove, not sure how much it would help with a tiny home.

They should open up the hotpot for more recipes so that it can be a true substitute for having an actual stove/oven.

This is why they should also include wall ovens.

I don't own any of the available kits yet, but my wish for them is to skip furniture and rather focus one one feature - of course with a few items to go with it as suited. I'm sure the developers have tons of features nearly ready, features that were removed from previous packs. They might even be enough to base a new home business on.

My number 1 wish for a kit is a way to carv a big statue based on the looks of a chosen Sim, dead or still around, to have their statue in a local pak or at the graveyard, or whatever. It would need no furniyure, except perhaps a matching pedestal/foot that could even be used for other purposes. I'd love to the tmy head of the house as a sculpture at the family grave, or the most successful Mayor as a statue in front of the town hall. Some of my businesses and community lots have founders, that could be honored with a monument as well Such a kit would hardly need furmiture. A few decorative tools for the carving job, the monument base (small platform/end table), a ribbon feature for reveiling a new monument, and a few versions of flower wreaths/boquets to be placed in front of monument (and other graves) on memorial days. I'd love a kit like this
