      well i guess the broken up bed is not meant to be repaired and neither is the tv, even though those are good ideas for gameplay. but clearly bringing back the old bed but broken and unusable is just a way of EA showing how far they've come and putting a little easteregg in the game, to make people remember of times long passed and that -- won't -- come back, so that's why you can't fix it. probably.

    I know gameplay in kits is like beating a dead horse, but what would have been really amazing is if they would have added the ability to "restore" the broken-down items. That would have been such a great addition to the game, where certain items if you find them in a basement, old house, or even at a vintage shop, you could have the sim work to restore them to their former glory (like how you can change a crib into a toddler bed) to place in their house. I know that's too much to ask, but it would have really changed the dynamic of the basement treasures kit so much with much more incentive for people to buy. Also, what a great way to add the sims 1 heart bed into the game as an easter egg for players who've played the game for so long as nostalgia. Not only is the bed in the game, it's a nod to it being a "vintage" item that sims can find and restore haha. As a plant lover and gardener I'm so unbelievably disappointed in the greenhouse kit it's not even funny, so I'm not even going to comment. Usually I would buy anything plant related in the sims just off my sheer need for more plant items and gameplay in the game, but this just feels like such a lazy kit, I'm not wasting money on it.

    My main problem with kits is that they don't have any offers or sales. I only buy packs when the are on sale and most of the times I do the thing where you get one of each (one expansion pack, one game pack and one stuff pack) and pay like 40 bucks cause for the amount of new things you get from those 3 it's more worth the money, in my opinion at least.
    However they have been neglecting stuff packs( and game packs kinda) and only focusing on new kits and expansion packs and there's no way to bundle them all together. I've kinda ran out of game packs that i would like to have cause they are pretty old now so I haven't bought any kind of packs in a while now, even though there's expansion packs and stuff packs and honestly kits too that i would kill to have. Idk maybe they could do a deal like an expansion pack + a kit or two kits for a reasonable price to work as an incentive for people to buy the kits cause it would definitely work on me lol

    long post but guys, i am so tired... idk where else to share my frustration.
    greenhouse should have just been in seasons (and basement should have been in werewolves with that aesthetic tbh) idc if its been years, just update the expansion and give it to people for free, we didnt get a world with that expansion and the sims packs are just too many and too expensive to keep justifying these things. i really like this content but im not paying for it when i paid for seasons AND romantic garden stuff pack AND outdoor retreat - gardening is a base game skill, and greenhouses and sheds are in like every family home, its not niche like moroccan courtyard, its generic and would fit into a multitude of different packs already and appeal to almost every player. do a pack refresh for any of those packs and put it in there, especially if theyre not even going to bother and give a full window and door set of those beautiful windows for all three heights. ugh im just so done. i appreciate the video and getting to see whats in it but i just cant be excited when i cant afford to keep up with sims packs and know i'll never get to play with this lol. i have almost every pack up until snowy escape i cant keep letting them milk me for pennies when they fall short of giving anything back to loyal players.

The sims for has lost its spark and drive for the sims. The sims 3, this would be insanely underwhelming but because the sims has made packs so small, this is fine to us. If you want to own all the DLC, it costs 1k, in what world is a game worth that much. Are we really paying money for a few planter boxes and windows and calling it worth it?

    How are we supposed to enjoy the greenhouse when gardening is broken? Some players don’t have the issue, and that’s fantastic I’m glad their content works. However, for many people gardening is not functional. I guess I can make a greenhouse just for the looks with zero function 🤷‍♀️
    They just don’t think about this before releasing content. We keep getting all these new things, yet much of the old content is neglected (despite paying hundreds of dollars for them). Some packs are buggy and annoying, but others are completely non-functional years later. Good job EA!

    Having a greenhouse kit and not putting in any gable windows feel’s like a big miss for me. And adding a gabled roof decor without windows actually feels like I am being taunted. 😂
    Ever since seasons came out with the glass roofs I have built greenhouses and every time I think, “this would look ten times better if there was not a big windowless space under the gabled roof.”
    I get that it is hard to make those windows versatile due to it determining the angle of the roof but I still think it would be worth it even if they had just added the one window. It could have been just like the gabled roof decor but with glass instead of paneling.

    I think the problem with simsie reviews (and most gamechangers) is they're getting the packs regardless. Even if they didn't get the packs for free, they'd buy them all anyway because they literally play the sims for a living. Simsie is just excited to have new stuff to build with, which makes sense! To her, a new kit is exciting in the same way a free update is exciting to the rest of us. But obviously this is a different natural reaction to those of us who can't buy all the dlc.
