    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 would really like some cas kits that give feminine frame sims full length tops, there are so, so very many cropped tops for feminine frames, and it can really limit options for older sims, sims that might be conscious of their weight, or sims that live in colder environments. 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.

    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.

      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.

    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...

      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.
