Cool Kitchen Stuff Announced

[yuichen]

SimsVIP reports there's a new kitchen stuff pack coming out on August 11th. There will be a free update the week before that gives us a dishwasher.

First thought is how much is this thing going to be and second thought is when is the real EP coming.  I noticed there were no dishwashers or trash compactors.

[yuichen]

I don't know about trash compactors but the dishwashers are supposed to be free in a patch before the pack comes out.

And stuff packs seem to be $10.

[ranabluu]

It's going to be interesting.  So what were Outdoor Retreat and Spa packs?  They were 20 bucks...outdoor retreat should have been free if you ask me, but no one did.  I hope they give more than a dishwasher for free.

[yuichen]

Outdoor Retreat and Spa Day are game packs. They're supposed to add more to the game than just stuff, with a bunch of new activities and interactions, etc. So it's kind of somewhere between an expansion and stuff pack.

I imagine they'll give us something else in the patch too. Would be silly to just have one thing.

[ranabluu]

Silly are we still talking about Maxis/EA?  I hope so as well.  All this talk has me wanting to fire up the game but I think I am going to go to bed instead. Maybe....

[yuichen]

I keep meaning to play but still end up on console instead. Though I want to build an apartment building with a rooftop terrace more than actually play. I've been feeling so lazy lately.

[ranabluu]

That's okay.  I am sure you will have it completed over the weekend lol.  Motivating huh?

[yuichen]

I worked on it today actually! I'm not really sure what I want to do now though. I mirrored it on the same floor but now I feel like maybe I should just have one apartment per floor. Have no idea how I want the exterior to look though. Right now it's rather boxy.

[ranabluu]

All of my creations are boxy .

[yuichen]

I mean, it's on the modern side so I don't feel so bad about it, but still. I feel like I've gotten really lazy about building.

[ranabluu]

Well if you like I can find some pictures that I would love to have turned into houses.  TS2 of course, just to keep your skills fresh 

[yuichen]

Lol yeah. I look at a lot of house plans. I think all the last ones I've put up for download were based on plans.

[ranabluu]

There's nothing wrong with that.  I will find some to ask for, lol.

[yuichen]

Lol okies.

I just saw on that new sims4 forum that you can still use things if they're closed entirely up in the half walls. Someone made it look like a built in grill and they can use it, while another person surrounded a bed that was fully functional.
