Well said Vanessa I like happy haunts as well but I voted for arts and crafts but everyone else has to think there are millions of players voting so be grateful for want has won
Lol This is why people use MODs. Happy knitting!
Well that sucks! That theme doesn’t have anything worth while…
So do I, I wanted the smoothie machine, tea infuser, vegan trait, but no we get knitting…I do that in real life, I want something more exciting in my Sims game.
Yes!!!
This is good
Make knitting a rabbit hole so no one can enjoy it. Im sorry but this sucks… jesus I cant stress how dissapointed I am. The Realistic simmers already have their drying laundry to enjoy. And I already know that knitting and sculpting are gonna be the only 2 options in the pack, maybe embroidery leaving out the only interesting things in the Arts and Dull Gameplay pack…
Oh joy, knitting; how exciting.

Kinda bummed. I thought for sure Happy Haunts would be the winner for sure. Possibility of new careers (agent of death, ghostbuster, psychic) was a shoe-in I thought.
Reply to Stef
No joke. Same as me.
Reply to Stef
Agreed. I wanted the ghostbuster career. Knitting?????? C’mon son.
Reply to Stef
I am with you. Disappointed.
I’m happy that’s what I voted for
Reply to Lauren
Not really happy with the outcome. Happy haunts I was sure would win, put a twist in game play. Oh well
Reply to Lauren
First LAUNDRY wins over a “Death & Danger” stuff pack, now arts & crafts wins over Happy Haunts. It’s like the Sims Community hates fun. Two community votes in a row the most BORING option beats out the more fun and interesting options. Okay boomers.
Reply to Jamie
Believe it or not, some people actually want to play a life simulator as a life simulator and take part in normal everyday activities as opposed to unrealistic stuff like ghosts and vampires.
Oh boy. We’ll be able to watch our sims knit. How exciting.
Seriously how are people choosing this over being the grim reaper !?
Reply to Kaden James
Exactly I want to take souls
Reply to Yaya
Seems like a boring out come to me. Oh well!
Reply to Yaya
Lol. My thoughts exactly. I voted for Happy Haunts myself.
Reply to SimSerena
Can’t agree more with the comments here! For the first time ever in the sims we have the choice to be the grim reaper!!! But instead we chose knitting for our sims grandsons…
Reply to Kaden James
I agree!!!!!!!!!
Reply to Nadia
I knit in real life, so I was looking forward to being a grim reaper without a mod. I play the sims to have a chance to not be me!
Reply to Kaden James
I’m stoked knitting and crafts are winning, because a lot of us like realism! And being grim reaper just isn’t super in the human gambit of possibility so I’m really happy haha
Reply to Kaden James
Wow seriously? I voted for both in fact I don’t know how the self care one made it to #3, if it makes it they’re losing a long time Simmer. I can’t knit as I’m a lefty and everyone in my family was a righty so at least my Sim can knit.
I’m shocked. That was the most boring theme option in my opinion.
Reply to Nikki
No that would be the self care one.
We could have become a GRIM REAPER as a part time job and you people chose KNITTING? What the hell?! I get occult stuff is pretty niche but COME ON, out of all the other things you could have chosen, you chose KNITTING. I hope to God we get some of this other stuff anyways.
Reply to Alex
preach!
I hope they get massive hand cramps while they knit.
To all the old ladies who voted for knitting, I hope your game crashes to no end. Traitors.
Reply to Jade
Lol! Yeah, exactly what you said!
Reply to Jade
Wow grow the f*** up. Young people knit as well, a lot of the new generation do it. I’m old and I voted. For Haunts as my number one so stop being so damn judgeMENTAL, you’re acting like a toddler sim having a tantrum.
Reply to Hazel
Not everyone wants to be to grim reaper I voted for arts and crafts In real life I knit and make cushions but I was hoping for potty but it’s just a game, they need to be grateful as I gonna take the devolopers a while to design the stuff pack.
Reply to Hazel
Calm down wtf. Ur the one having a tantrum in the comment section
Reply to Hazel
Ok boomer
Reply to Jade
lmao aw man, u made my day
i hate the results. boring af.
As a sixteen year old I live knitting and the results are great. We need more focus on the arts
Lets be honest how many of us actually pay attention to the plates and cups sims use not to mention knitting will only make sense in the winter if you have seasons… we need packs that apply to all 4 seasons
I wish self-care was #1 in both categories
Reply to DelVita Ahmed
same here

So do I, I wanted the smoothie machine, tea infuser, vegan trait, but no we get knitting…I do that in real life, I want something more exciting in my Sims game.
I’m very happy about this! Shame on all the granny bashers in the comments. I for one find knitting very exciting and thrive off of realistic gameplay.
Our sims really need more they can actually DO.
YESSSS!
I’m so excited for it! I think it would be a cool pack to get us more stuff for elders!
Seriously…. I wanted Happy Haunts!
Did embroidery get ranked the lowest? That is a bummer.
But I’m overall quite happy that elderly sims are going to get more activities! Well, my younger sims will definitely be knitting too, but you know what I mean!
Do we thank the players that voted for Laundry for voting for knitting?
How the F*** did self care make it to #3? No sane person would ever be a vegan. Why would you want a brainwashed sim.
If it makes it they’re losing along time Simmer. As for the ones going on about knitting try growing the F*** Up, you’re acting like a toddler sim having a tantrum.
Heck yeah content for elders!!!!! I’m gonna knit my grandkids so many sweaters you’d best BELIEVE!
Ugh I was hoping for the Happy Haunts as well. I really miss the “Making Magic” type stuff. I need my Bonehilda back!
Really ??? Knitting how
Noooooooo. I needed the Grim career AND the Ghost hunter career. So sad right now.
Really I wanted fabrication over knitting
How did happy haunts not win?
Arts& Crafts + Happy Haunts were my fav. I guess more Happy Haunts. I know a lot of people like realism. That’s okay. I likeoccult stuff because my life is realistic enough and I wanted to be grim. Maybe they give us the other ones at well with some time in between. I would like to see the Happy Haunts features too. Still I’m glad for content and I don’t think Arts & Crafts is as boring as a lot of people think 😀
Can’t wait for the second vote.
Reply to Vanessa
Well said Vanessa I like happy haunts as well but I voted for arts and crafts but everyone else has to think there are millions of players voting so be grateful for want has won
knitting embroidery ..Realy not for me tho thx
i bet all the karens choose knitting
oh yay more arts stuff and knitting -.- boring!!! Haunting stuff would of been more interesting!!!
Y’all are boring. Really arts and crafts? Knitting? Over the other options?? Okay…
Yay! I’m so excited Arts & Crafts won! Please let this be a sellable hobby, creating products to sell via Arts & Crafts would be awesome!
I’m happy!! I appreciate all the hard work our Sims 4 team does to try to keep us all coming back for more! 🙂 It’s so hard pleasing the multitudes. I buy them all anyway so it makes little difference which ones come first. My only request is a rocking chair so I can rock my toddlers! 😀
This is good. It will give the elders something to do and encourage me to actually use them in the game. It’d be nice to have an interaction with grandchildren like teaching them to knit or maybe adding a fishing interaction!
Sooooooooooooooo happy that Happy Haunts didn’t win, lol!
Knitting won? Are you all serious?
Excited!
I feel like lilsimsie swayed the vote tbh because she was all for knitting.
Then they need to live their normal lives and stop trying to do so through a computer. That’s creepy, for one. And this is a VIDEO GAME! It’s supposed to have elements of whimsy and the unreal. It’s no wonder the game play is so baseless and shallow.
Pretty upset Happy Haunts didn’t win but, Arts & Crafts sounds fun. Now we have something for elders I guess.
i am happy this won i pick both 🙂
I’m glad this won. Not everyone likes to play with unrealistic stuff like grim reapers and vampires. Some of us like normal things, and tbh that’s been very scarce as of lately. This year added mermaids, magic spell-casting people, and robots. Arts and crafts should be very enjoyable to those of us who want to play normally and give our sims nice hobbies. And yes, a lot of us want stuff that appeals to elders, especially since they have NOTHING unique to them right now. Just let them have one pack for Pete’s sake.
Reply to Carly
How are robots unrealistic? Have you seen the current technology? Robots are not super popular amongst the general public, but to those who love robotics our current technology is very close to what is in the sims.
im happy, i hate supernatural stuff in sims 🙂
Yes!! So pleased to see my favourites at the top of the list 🙂
Noooo… Happy Haunts! New careers! Knitting over ghost hunting? ☹
Reply to Barbara
I know how you feel was hoping for ghost hunting and maybe even summoning a demon lol
I am really happy the arts and crafts pack won. I wasn’t expecting it honestly, but it was what I voted for! Haunts seems very cool as well but I am sure there will be other chances for more super natural stuff. It is kind of pissing me off that so many people are calling it the ‘elderly people’ pack and making fun of it. Calm down people. It’s the Sims. And you are being a bunch of babies. I am very excited and I am not quite 30 yet lol. Guess I just like crafting 😀
Yes so glad you responded! Sims 1 literally had a whole expansion for magic just like sims 2 and sims 3 in addition to the stuff that was already in the game, sims 4 is the first time we don’t get a full expansion of magic.. it’s not even as great as past sims magic/ occult content.
Was really hoping for the happy haunts stuff pack. Soo close but new arts and crafts activities are going to be nice to use.
I’m hoping Happy Haunts still get made.
Should’ve been happy haunts
I cannot believe happy haunts didn’t win. This is ridiculous. Why on earth would anyone want to knit and not play with a ouijia board. C’mon EA.
It feels like I am getting old with the result
Lol This is why people use MODs. Happy knitting!
Well that sucks! That theme doesn’t have anything worth while…
Come on, arts and crafts? I could literally do that IRL. Can I be the Grim Reaper IRL? Not legally
Yes!!!
This is good
Make knitting a rabbit hole so no one can enjoy it. Im sorry but this sucks… jesus I cant stress how dissapointed I am. The Realistic simmers already have their drying laundry to enjoy. And I already know that knitting and sculpting are gonna be the only 2 options in the pack, maybe embroidery leaving out the only interesting things in the Arts and Dull Gameplay pack…
We have a bunch of blue haired grannies playing The Sims.
I wanted the Haunted pack. We would’ve gotten 3 new careers with that pack!
This is the worst outcome possible a stupid pack about Knitting no one wants that
Us Simmers demand a recount!!
If anything I was exited for embroidering if the arts one happened, but knitting is first…I just feel like this isn’t really the addition we need right now.
