disappointed that there were no giant banners, flags, torches, chimneys, or actual gargoyles in the castle kit

Dear EA,

We don't want to choose a theme, we wanna choose what comes in the kit.

I’m most annoyed that the goth kit doesn’t come with any new hair. I was really hoping to get some nice dyed hair.

[miriam]

the fact that they made a whole ass goth kit and didnt add eyeliner is a bit baffling lmao

[upindust]

my big complaint about the castle is; no fireplaces... castles have stately fireplaces.. and then you know maybe some more fountains

[epalmerbright]

I get that the castle kit is just external, but it would’ve been so great to have things like thrones, modular table section to build long tables for feasts, fireplaces, four poster beds and a toilet/garderobe, and decorations like pennants, embroideries etc. Really they should’ve gone bigger and made it a stuff or game pack.

Castle kit could have been a game pack. Think maybe a new vacation world with new collectibles, sculpting skills, maybe renaissance festivals as an event, new jobs. As a concept it had so much potential. 😢

[natalie-]

the concept art for the goth kit was SO good.. i dont know how they ended up with this, its barely goth lol

[funkle.]

a Renaissance fair game pack would've been so much fun! they could even make it a more general festival thing, with like a convention center lot type, and each season there's a different type of event like a Renaissance fair, comic con, music festival, etc. then we could actually get more medieval and Renaissance stuff like furniture and clothes!

[wow]

If occult sims annoy you in CAS, use 'casclockspeed 0' to freeze them in place so they stop moving

[samlevine]

I really wish they had let fans vote on things throughout the process, closer to what they did for nifty knitting and laundry day. It would help avoid some of the disappointment I think on the fan side.

[SillySidEver]

The "goth" kit is giving punk. I see what they were trying to do with the pink swatches too going for that pastel goth vibes but I think maybe giving a 2nd pastel swatch would've helped like maybe a light purple too.

[aronc]

Is it just me that get SLIGHTLY irritated when these are called fan voted? Yes, we voted. But it was SO WATERED DOWN compared to past content votes. Like, two/four options hardly makes this fan chosen.

[cerulean_city_misty]

I think the "dirty line" on the one Castle swatch is for moats. When there is a moat around the castle it will look more realistic because the water tends to make the lower parts of castle walls dirty like that

kayla: i hate vlad
also kayla: i want to build vlad a nice new house and let him wear some nice new clothes :)

[michealoconnor]

The line in the stone is common in large stone buildings because of the way stone was mined back then. As you got deeper and over the years the stone would change colour so they would build with that knowledge in mind to create interesting patterns

[itsfreyaaaa]

kits honestly seem like such a waste. we could've had such a cool world, or furniture for both of these, or at least the castle, but no, instead we get subpar clothes and build items that really don't fit.

[wandaXmaximoff]

As a ‘Mall Goth’ in the late 90s/ early 2000 the Goth Galore kit is giving me so much nostalgia.

[alisonprewett]

The medieval pack needs a large chandelier, torch sconces, and a draw bridge decor piece

[KatherineCrawford]

Seems like the castle kit would’ve worked better as a stuff pack with the addition of fireplaces, fountains, gargoyles, torches, banners, flags, tapestries, wood swatches… it seems unfinished even tho it’s a kit
