Splish splash I was takin' a bath...
Ok, so the Sims series is not a franchise that the 'hardcore' gamer would necessarily be into but like it or not, it's the best selling video game franchise ever, purely because the relatively un-tapped market of 'casual gamers' plays it... a lot.Much as it pains me to admit it, the Sims is probably played more in this house than any other game, because my kids just can't get enough of it... I swear it's digital crack cocaine.
Anyhoo, Sims fans will be getting all excited as a new expansion pack has been announced, The Sims 2 Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff, which according to the press blurb, will let you "Transform the bathroom into a romantic getaway with charming claw-foot bathtubs and calming lighting fixtures or give it a modern twist with beautiful glass showers, basin sinks, and more." Or "Redesign your kitchen as you upgrade it with sleek appliances on granite countertops or romantic natural wood cabinets next to wrought iron stoves."
Here's a list of the other features:
Give your Sims the right attire and accessories for enjoying their brand-new kitchens and bathrooms including a hair turban, spa mask, cooking aprons, and luxuriant cashmere pullovers for around the house.
Update your Sims' kitchen with that sleek new look you've been dreaming about with a stylish refrigerator, food processor, toaster oven, and more.
Renovate the kitchen into the warmest room in the house with romantic touches including new themed wallpaper, wood-carved counters, and ceiling-mounted hanging pot racks.
Make your Sims' bath time a modern experience with contemporary design options such as elegant sectional mirrors, quad-quadrant ceiling lighting with a modern flair, and graceful countertop basin sinks.
Indulge your Sims in a romantic bath complete with cozy new tiles, fancy towel racks, romantic paintings, designer rugs, and much more.
I wonder when they're gonna link the Sims up with DIY S.O.S. or Changing Rooms...
