Those of us on console appreciate having any extra content that we can get. Not all of us I'm sure but many of us do because we don't have access to CC. If I could afford a decent gaming PC I'd download MANY CC kitchen sets because when you're limited on console, it's very limiting to build. For instance, we have SOO many counters with no matching cabinets and it's unfortunate. I use the same 2 kitchen sets with this set being one of them because they have matching cabinets and they're not from 6 years ago lol.

Growing up with the Sims (before TS4) there was chaos, nerve racking moments, unexpected challenges etc. Now - we're lucky if we can even come across a situation that brings any repercussions whatsoever. There's no challenge. There's no consequences. There's no repercussions. There's no character. There's no chaos. There's no.... GAMEPLAY! The Sims 4 is too easy and too predictable with no "Oh crap, what am I gonna do now?" moments and not only that, but the game is broken with every single update, pack, expansion and patch.

I agree, plus I love having the extra color swatches for the cabinets

As someone who makes a lot of rustic looking builds, it's nice having both. I am not forced to stick to one style in every single build. The kit also has some swatches the Cottage Living one doesn't have, and vice versa, making one better for the build at hand than the other.

I got both and honestly I use both a lot, if you want a cheaper cottage style kitchen without paying $40 I would still get the country kitchen one, but if you want to spend that kinda money and get a bunch of cute cottage core stuff then maybe the $40 pack is for you

I have Cottage Living and Country Kitchen, I don't regret Country Kitchen and I think it pairs great with Cottage, especially with the extra color swatches for the cabinets and countertops

I don’t have the kit but I do have CL and I definitely prefer the look of the counters in the kit. I’d love to get it but it’s not high enough on my wants list to warrant spending £5 for a slight difference

I still frequently use both in country kitchens because despite being very similar they each come with different country kitchen clutter items that can be used differently, I also prefer the kit over the pack in some instances because I love the look of the appliances from the kit :)

I say it over and over. EA needs to be held accountable for their shit. Its disgusting what its become... I really wish people wouldnt buy any pack at all until EA finally adds freaking content and stops adding the same furniture in a lame recolor over and over!!

I still hate I bought it but I actually do use the kitchen from the kit more than cottage living kitchen.

I actually like the kitchen pack bc of the little cute dishes and stuff that come with them I also love the stone floor (use it far too often), sink, and fridge The cabinets are also nicer to me bc of the metal drawers they have 🫠

What's also really annoying with these is the swatches are really similar but not identical. So if I'm mixing the two cabinets to add variety, the color of the wood might match but one set has a blue cloth and the other will be yellow and it's so freaking frustrating that we can't pick the color of the wood and the color of the detail/accessories separately like previous sims games

At the end of the day it’s up to the individual to buy the pack or not. You don’t have to buy every single pack that comes out. Just pick the ones you like and let others do the same, that’s why there’s specific packs for certain interests.

I agree. I would love to see KITS that are full of different bedroom sets, different kitchen sets, different living room sets etc. There's so much mismatched furniture or there's not enough matching furniture in the game. It's VERY limiting when playing on console. Because I don't have access to CC, my houses usually looks a little something like this - Modern living room Antique bathroom Rustic bedroom Farmhouse kitchen Modern laundry room In other words, it's a mess because there's not enough of the same style of furniture (besides modern) to decorate and furnish the whole lot or house with and it's very unfortunate..

I use items from this pack in every single build I make, it’s how you style them really. If you size down the open wall cabinet it’s perfect for a wall hanged nightstand for example. Use that to death.

The kit was released before Cottage Living was announced. Also I prefer the look of kit's highbacked stove, which also has better stats.

Kits were unique at first. They added niche clothes and build buy, but now? We have two plant kits, one country build kit but wait... It's only there for a kitchen and it's better worth getting cottage living than THAT thing. We have 2 clutter kits even tho if you own the latest packs (HSY and GT) you will NOT need those either as they and the BG will provide the same experience. Thank you EA for the lazy ass packs 😀

I always wondered why they don’t let cc creators work for EA and let them design all clothing and objects for the sims. That would be beneficial for everyone. Good image for EA, publicity for the creators and the gamers get objects they like

High key I love this kit and use it more than the Cottage Living Kitchen. You did pick comparable swatches but a lot of the swatches on the Country Kitchen kit I end up using way more and I love the stove!

I love the comparison next to each other 👍🏻

The Country Kitchen Kit came out before the Cottage Living Pack by four months, I just looked it up. It was released March 2, 2021. Cottage Living was announced June 10, 2021 and came out July 22, 2021. I wonder if they released the kit to see how the reaction from the community to certain things that were still changeable at that late in the development process of Cottage Living, for example the colorways? It’s just a thought. I own both. It’s one of the very few kits I do own, but I probably wouldn’t have bought it if I had known Cottage Living was coming out. I bought Country Kitchen specifically because I wanted to make my grandma’s house from when I was growing up in the 80s, but the Cottage Living refrigerator is much more accurate.

i agree.

Personally the only worth it kit was bust the dust bc it came with unique gameplay and even then you need mods if you want a fucking broom for off the grid.

I wish the cottage living kitchen cabinets had more options bc I don’t like having curtains on all of them especially when I want a bigger kitchen bc it makes it look v copy and paste everywhere bc they all look the same

I like the stove and fridge from the kit, and the counters from the expansion. So, while I know it's stupid, I like both.

If you are sneaky enough you can use country kitchen, cottage and parenthood cabinets in the same kitchen...same thing just reskinned

Does anyone remember how this one pack has the same items but its in a different pricing?

I actually think that the country kitchen set is worth just because it's so similar to the cottage living kitchen. Makes it possible to use both together without having major texture differences. It shouldve been one pack though.

I think it depends on what you’re looking for. If you don’t want to pay a lot of money on an expansion pack just for cottagecore items, then the kit actually makes sense. But if you feel the Cottage Living expansion pack is worth it for items and gameplay, then maybe the kit isn’t necessary. However, I did get both bc i actually prefer the look of the items in the kit. I’m a builder on PS so I enjoy having options.

Horse ranch also has the same exact style with many overlapping swatches, and you get horses. That means there are 3 different packs with the same kitchen set yet we still can’t get modern kitchens that at this point are outdated!! I want a free standing fireplace, microwaves and ovens that can be stacked and inserted into cabinetry, and the ability to do the same with a fridge. We need better sinks too- we only have a few true bathroom sinks, no double sinks or sinks that can be placed on top of a counter. All of these are features that were popular before the sims 4 even came out, so why do we still not have them?

I think kits are nice for those who can’t afford larger packs. Something extra to have instead of just base game.

I really enjoy the look of this pack even though I already own cottage living, but since I prefer putting my builds on the gallery it seems pointless to buy any kits since most people are not gonna own them

But pretty variety pretty builds

The difference is one’s $5 while the other is $40. The kit was for those that wanted a country kitchen but didn’t have the $40 for the expansion pack. I personally think they’re both worth the money you pay for.

Since they’re so similar I feel like they made that kit just in case people liked the cottage living items but didn’t actually want the full expansion pack and/or couldn’t afford it

I actually feel that having something similar (if you like the aesthetic) makes it more worthwhile, at least for me. I can mix and match items (though not all the swatches match up which is sad), and this particular rustic style isn't one that we have a lot of so variety is harder. Also, a kitchen kit *almost* makes up for the ridiculous price since you need multiple different counters (main counter, corner counter, end pieces, island, upper cabinets) PLUS we got appliances and clutter. I still think kits are overpriced, since (correct me if I'm wrong) in several other of the Build/Buy kits, there have only been 20 or so items? Country Kitchen Kit is honestly one of the better deals. That being said, it is the *ONLY* kit I've purchased to date, though I did get the Desert Luxe while it was free. Half the cost of a Stuff Pack for a third of the content is ludicrous. And not a single one has gone on sale. There aren't even bundle options! Absolute hogwash.

I hate the cottage living cabinets due to the hardware being painted the same color as the cabinet.

I'm mad the country kit kitchen set doesn't even have any of the same swatches as the cottage living one either.

Nope. The clutter in country kitchen is SUPER!

The only reason I actually like that kit is because the stove is a level 7 cooking and is extremely cheap 😂 But the rest, I 100 % agree with!

this is a weird comparison considering the "better" one is also like 4 times more expensive. cottage living is one of my favorite packs tho lol

The country kitchen counters are the only nice pink ones available in the game

I actually prefer country kitchen over the cottage living one. The range offers higher levels for cooking and lower chance of breaking down and for less simoleans. For the majority of us, country kitchen kit came out before Cottage Living, and many of us bought it so there's no choice anyway.
