  • Ok, wait...so not only are you unable to add candles to a cake while it's on the cake stand, but you can't blow out candles that were already added before it was put on the cake stand? That is honestly the biggest missed opportunity in a Party-themed Build/Buy pack. Other than that, the Party Essentials Kit seems like the sort of kit where if you have it, you'll find uses for it (a bar that you can put against the wall because there is no visible ledge for seating, lights and a dance floor for community lots, a table with a basic tablecloth, a pile of chips and plates for a backyard barbecue, etc) but if you don't have it, you won't be gazing wistfully at the store page for it, wishing you had it. It's useful, but not necessary for anything.

I don't know if it's different in the US, but we really don't see than many people irl who wear cropped tops on the regular.

    • This is common in games. Female characters get all of the best fashion while the males get next to nothing. It's been proven time and time again that female fashion will have higher resolution than males among other things. What I'm really sick of too is how a lot of games now are giving men more fashion but it's all just like converted female clothing.. So it'll literally just be clothing females already had and just slightly edited to work on a male body.. then they call it male fashion.. that's not how that works.

  • we really need to abolish the restrictions for masc and feminine frame clothing in the sims. everything in the urban homage kit looks so good, but because the items are so frame restricted they won't look nearly as good of the frame the weren't made for, which is really unfortunate. It's sad to me that we still have stuff like this happening with cas in this game after so many years

  • I was familiar with Ebonix’s CC so I had high hopes for the CAS kit, but I think it’s even better than I expected! I love that we get such a mix of funky patterns and solid colours, that variety helps me use these pieces over and over in different ways. Another great collab, and I hope we get even more like this! And I liked the build kit more than I thought I would! A lot of items fit into “normal” builds better than I expected (but it’s kinda funny that some of the party furniture looks more normal than their “normal” furniture 😂). A lot of the items I’d realistically only use a few times, but I could see myself using a few of them regularly.

  • What they need to do is give us room toggles to switch between furniture layouts (with everything going into family inventory, of course, for storage) so that you could switch from a day-to-day layout to a party layout (or any other layout you set up, of course) and back again via a Build/Buy Mode dropdown. Packs like Party Essentials are just pointless for me without such a feature - like many (probably most) players, I'm waaaaaaaaaay too lazy to manually set up for a party or whatever and then have to manually re-set up my old room...

    @ogrejd@ogrejd26 күн бұрын

    • You could take the room you have, save it to your personal gallery (doesn't have to be uploaded), decorate it for parties, and then put in your old room from the gallery when done. You could also save the party layout and put it in whenever you want. So the functionality is already there.. you just didn't think to use it that way most likely.

  • As many said, the Party Essentials really give High School Years prom vibes. I'd almost say they should have just added most of this stuff to that pack, but it already had so many buy items. The standing dance floor light, balloons, garlands could have been kept for prom. Some of the stuff, mainly the poster, party sign, floor confetti and balloons feel very much like they could be added to Seasons to me due to their swatches. The Simstagram backdrop could go with City Living, given the careers in it. (Though good luck in getting your Sims to face the right way.) The Disco Ball feels like it could be part of Get Together to me. The Curve TV could go with either of the two latter packs mentioned. Really, though... they could have dispersed these things into the Base Game and into older Stuff packs as a bit of a refresh to interest people into buying their older or less popular ones. The Dining Table, Food Pedestal and Dance Floor would be awesome to have in the Base game. (They could have done some useful game play with it too, they should have made it so the Sim who bakes it automatically puts the cake on it and Sims know not to touch/steal a slice!) The Bar and Turn Table sort of makes me think of Bowling Stuff for some reason. The Fog Machine would definitely be Spooky Stuff. The Cups and Straws Station and Stack of Plates and Chips would probably have gone well with Backyard Stuff. The Fiber Optic Garland and LED Party Strip make me think of the Glow Cube from Luxury Party). The little Party Floor Light, Neon Sign, Luminous Lighticles and small Wall Speaker... those could be dispersed wherever "needed".

Im really happy we finally got a discoball. But it can be versatile too, like it can be cool in teen rooms and the plain items like the bar and the table can be useful in any home. And the invisible dancefloor can be put nicely in gardens. Im actually happy with this one, I thought I was going to hate it
