    I wish it was either a bigger kit or a part of a stuff pack, so we could also get medieval furniture. Thrones, wooden baths, bucket toilets, stuff like that

      This is exactly why I voted for the other build kit option. I liked the medieval castle theme better, but I didn't think kits have enough items to do it justice

  • @Dyingcontinually
    @Dyingcontinually Před 5 měsíci +27

    I hope we get to vote for stuff packs again. I was looking forward to this kit and, while the items included are very pretty, I had a lot more in mind in terms of furniture. Kinda upsetting now that the concept is in a kit we might be less likely to get a fleshed out version of this idea in the future.

    • @SmallSnailMarie
      @SmallSnailMarie Před 5 měsíci

      I'm also worried about that... I hope they do something medieval or royal ish themed... I could even see if with a fairy pack if everyone's wanting to go that direction 😢 I seriously hope we get some more stuff ... I like everything this pack cane with but yeah I just wanted more and I am worried now it's a kit they'll scrap the idea for future packs

    Old Windenburg fort turned into apartments? Like some sort of medieval ruins that got renovated. Maybe mix with modern? Because old and new is very Windenburg

  • @HyggeHaven
    @HyggeHaven Před 5 měsíci +23

    So I wasn't really planning on buying this one because I don't see building castles for my Sims to live in and wasn't feeling inspired to build castles for my channel. BUT, then I realised these could make really great community lots, too, and that opens a lot of new possibilities, so now I'm looking forward to playing around with it. Loved seeing the dirty swatches and the one with the moss and flowers in it - so pretty!

    The castle kit looks so good! I think I'm going to get quite a lot of use out of it actually, especially for community lots. I think the world's I'll end up using it the most is Windenburg, Forgotten Hallow and Britechester, but I think it could work amazingly with jungle adventure too. I'm excited to do some proper looking cathedrals too.

    I can tell you right now, that Britechester is getting a new central library. It shall be much more Gothic than Georgian or Baroque. Also, I think Windenburg could use a romantic castle wedding venue. Honestly, I'm sure I will build some British Manor Houses, but this kit will work great for community lots. Museums, Libraries, Cathedrals for weddings, renovated restaurants, castle ruins in the middle of parks... I know I'm going to have a lot of fun building with it, as I have been wanting true Gothic windows forever! Do we want more? Sure, but let's not let that stop us from playing with the tools we have.

    There's a gargoyle on Paisley Abby that's modelled on the alien from Alien. Every now and then people question how the monks predicted it. Forgetting it was a competition winner, in the 80's, to replace the damaged ones. It looks amazing though.

  • @Rosula_D
    @Rosula_D Před 5 měsíci

    It's an 7/10 for me. I like that they offered several swatches, including black and white, and used those swatches in all the items. The design is mostly good imo. I was however very disappointed because they made the heraldic crest cute/ humorous and offered no option for a "serious" castle. Same for the so-called gargoyle. I'll definitely use most of the stuff though. I do however think that this medieval/ gothic/ storybook theme still suffers, compared to other styles released by Maxis themselves. (Of course, anyone using CC can find a large variety of items.) I know this was voted by Simmers and it was my choice too. But it also feels like Maxis tried to "patch" some previous releases that looked incomplete like Vampires. I wonder if future kits will also follow the same method.

  • @brunobisio2406
    @brunobisio2406 Před 5 měsíci

    it's kind of sad they didn't add the classic seat castles have on the inside of windows or a new secret door with this kit. If you are building a castle you could make thick stone walls to make it look more realistic by making a 1 tile wide room and using the platform tool to "fill the wall", you could also leave parts of the wall hollow to make a secret passage

    I am going to look for separated cc for this. I do not want all of this stuff in my game as I'm not into medieval, estate, or castle builds. But I very badly want those build terrains. The platform trim, the flooring, the wall paint, and even the stairs are soooo pretty! They did a great job with the detailing in this kit. But i really dont want any of the other items whatsoever. I hope i can find someone who separated just the 3 things I want >_

    I feel this kit would be great if it weren't just one piece of The Sims Medieval. Why don't we have a royal family? We already have suits of armor in this game, plus decorative suits of armor, spellcasters, etc, but, if we actually tried to make a Medieval challenge of something in this game, it would be constantly interrupted by Sims using their mobile phones.

  • @bizarrekimten
    @bizarrekimten Před 5 měsíci

    The reason why I didn’t vote for this kit was because I would have much rather preferred to see it in a larger pack. I feel like a castle theme is too big of an idea for a kit, too little items, whereas with a gamepack etc you’d have so much more to work with.
