This Is The "Big" Reveal?!

Hey guys,

So I don't know if you have seen any recordings or played through the "big" reveal but I saw it and I am completely in awe of not only how meaningless and not "big" it is but also how buggy it is.
Here is a video by James turner. The big reveal happens at 13:03

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyr18W6MRuE

There is just not much happening first of all. The sims just come and follow the renovator to the room and they just watch mindlessly with no big reaction at all. The animations are just meh, most of them are from the base game and the new "closed eyes" animation looks like it was made by a modder, not an official dev.
Then every time there are stairs the sims just walk through the stairs. And also they can now walk through walls too apparently.

They react a bit at the end but I feel like the trailer made it seem like the big reaction would be some kind of "awe-inducing" moment with all the sims' jaw dropping at the sight of the renovation.

I wouldn't care so much but "the big reveal" is mentioned as one of the three main features of this pack...
Where's my Sims 5 squad at?

    I used to buy everything but am now already short of 2 GPs and kits, and I'm pretty sure hat list will continue to grow. The AI just seems to be getting worse and worse with every new pack they add on top of this already fragile base. If ever there was a farming or generations pack, I'd probably still buy it, but for the most part, I'm starting to just really not give a 🐸🐸🐸🐸.

    @CK213 that reveal is out of everyone's budget!

    I thought the reveal thing sounded cool. Taking pictures and then showing a before and after is a cool idea.

    But then I stopped and thought about it for a second. I was excited about a slideshow.

    A slideshow.

    Haha me too. If we stop to think about it even the building stuff is... something that a randomizer with a list of favourite colors and favourite styles and townies can do the trick :lol:

    What about this video by Carl's Sim Guide? Even decorating with poop is approved.

    No awe when impressed, but they sure are rowdy when they don't like it.

    Home decorator isn't for the faint of heart :D

    @Dijktafone I haven't seen the unimpressed reaction yet. Do you happen to have any footage?

    Well it's not really how they react on the spot, it's how ruthless they are the subsequent days.

    As I failed a design on purpose the wednesday, my sim recieved a surprise text, the next sunday, by a disgruntled Summer Holiday saying:

    'Remember me? I hope your day is as terrible as your so-called design sense'.

    Well deserved, but savage nonetheless.

    @Dijktafone Ouch! Sims might be inept in a lot of ways, but they sure do know a thing or two about delivering burns. I once got a text in response to a chain mail wherein the 'victim' told my Sim to die in a fire. Overreaction much?

    the new "closed eyes" animation looks like it was made by a modder, not an official dev.
    I have to agree with that, I really cringe when I watch it on people's videos. What were they thinking?

    Mhm 100% agree on that. Then again, in TS4 when a celebrity does whatever, everybody stops to check what they're doing. All is made to glorfy the controled sim and their 'awesomeness' in this game. This is just another example.
