They finally are giving us new traits, and a new aspiration. about time. I hope there is at least one new job. So excited about the DJ skill, and ability to make mix tapes.

Darn it. Both are good ideas.. But there is only one new Aspiration

No career I think, at least it wasn't mentioned.
With every EP there should be a new world, New career, new aspiration and new traits. They should all work with the EPs overall theme.
With this EP we are getting a world with GTW there was no world. With GTW there were careers with this one there are none. It is so messy
GTW was all about careers therefor there were careers.
And if I recall at least 2 EP in TS3 did not brought a world I bet that you did not remember. And btw GTW did bring us a world small or not there was one.
I don't compare it to TS3 but to TS2 EPs, those were more defined in terms of a structure and theme too. I feel there is a big mess here, they have no defined structure and future EP will be as vague as this one too.
I will not call the 4 lot screen as a world. That was their biggest mistake in GTW. That is not even a neighborhood. When a gamepack comes with a mini world that is OK but when an EP comes with a mini neighborhood that is not acceptable.
Well with TS4 traits can be introduced in game packs and not just expansions. But, we could use more of them.
there was no new world? How about Magnolia blossom?
It is a bit of a stretch to call four lots a world, no? And wasn't it intended to NOT be a 'world' on its own but integrated into the rest of WC? I do believe that is what the developers intended but couldn't manage to get it to work. So the neighborhood gets world status by default, not because it is an actual world with neighborhoods of its own.
I hope they're better than the base game traits. To me, none of them mattered that much, and sims all seemed the same no matter what traits I chose. Squeamish, from OR was my favorite by far because it changed gameplay so much. I hope the GT traits are more like that.
Yes, the basic traits became kinda meh to me after a while. Especially now that I've explored all of them, and I really feel the need for more chances to create different, peculiar sims. I'm looking forward to that! Hope they're good

I think some features we still consider as "missing" (in "hopefully they'll be reintroduced later on") should just be considered as "gone".
Gone for good. They're not taking babies out of the bassinets, they're not going to open the world, they're not going to change the teens' height.
Some things are set this way.

We are not really. We got a lot in the base game. They just focused more on other things. Do you really want Sims 4 to be just like Sims 3? some stuff was improved by not having open world. I think people focus on all that stuff Sims 3 has with all the expansions. honestly I hated sims 3 when it first came out. I did not even like it, or play it much until the third expansion. You can not expect rainbows, and unicorns every time you go to the park. lol
Well, they're doings things differently and I personally don't think they should HAVE to include a world with each EP. Some EPs will need a world, some won't. Perhaps the reason active careers were more complete and well done compared to Sims 3 was because they utilized production time towards that instead of a world?
Ambitions had a world and those careers were weak compared to Sims 4.
