Challenges: Builder's Wanted!!!
On one hand the world is... Kinda ugly, kinda boring.
But on the other, I kinda like some of the build/buy stuff.
I didn't really check out much of the CAS stuff, but the hairs (for male) are alright and there's this kinda cute jacket and shirt I put on my test Sim.
Part of me wants it just because there'll be new things and there are those few things I was immediately drawn too, but a greater part says no because of the world, which, again, I find ugly and boring.
AHQ Champion
@Froil I know a lot of simmers buy packs just for the build/buy and CAS but what did you think about the gameplay?
I think he's hot lmao
The Media Production skill seems really neat and I can see it synergize well with the base game Style Influencer job and the Social Media job from City Living and both of those jobs, along with the DJ Mixing skill from Get Together, also working with the fame system.
I've also been building up a bit and have gotten some ideas for the larger lots in the Mirage Park neighborhood of Del Sol Valley.
Guess I'll have to get this pack after all.
PC/Mac only.
Del Sol Valley: As Froil mentioned earlier it is rather ugly, and the number of lots are disappointing. 10 all in all compared to New Crest's 15, Willow Creek's 21 or Windenburg's 27. For a world that looks rather large 10 lots is way too little. For a Hollywood-type world with an ocean it is also disappointing that there is no form of waterfront lots or a beach of any kind.
Build items: Unless you are building a movie set (which of course can be fun) there are few items that would fit in any house I would normally build. They are mostly too extravagant for my taste. The exception being one coffee table and the bars. But that of course is my personal view.
The fame system: Of course playing for a few hours doesn't get me a deep insight, but I can see where this would be fun if you have a sim who wants to be famous, but that alone would not make me buy the entire pack.
The acting career: Now this was fun! I have to say I enjoyed the different aspects of going to the set and playing through the day and the acting gig. Would I get board if the gigs were too similar and I kept doing the same thing? Probably, but I did enjoy it.
Will I buy the pack? Not for one career and a feature that I might think handy with some sims on occasion. Build wise/world wise there is just not enough in it for me to pay that kind of money. All the fawning over celebrities also got old really fast.
With the CAS a lot of the stuff is unlocked via actor career.
Use fansites to see everything.
Same. As much as I hate its world, it's one of the only EP that actually does what an EP is supposed to do, expand your gameplay.
Yes. It's the first version of fame that works with all skills and careers, rather than just performance careers and who you associate with.
It's nice that artists, photographers, writers, fashionistas etc can become famous too and that streaming/vlogging alone can get you a following and success.
I feel like it's more integrated across the board and more realistic.
This and the club system (especially rotational play clubs) are very well done and underutilised.
I also like that fame is harder to hold onto and that you have to keep working at it to stay in the spotlight.
No, nothing about it being free once I open it. And when I try from the webpage, it gives me a message that it's only available for Origin users.
Edit: while in game, it shows the world greyed out, and says it will be available when it's done downloading. But it's not actually downloading anything.
The world should include a beach area and more lots, but I like it anyways. The "poor" street is the most atmospheric neighborhood in the game with 3 big nice lots to build.
