Hello, so, I'm sure all of you know about the new ep coming out, and I just wanted to hear all of your opinions. I've already seen some of the trailers of the new jobs and all, I'm liking it, a lot really. But I'm not rich, and I spent a lot of money on the sims before, and I really wanna be sure if I should buy it. Besides, I don't know if my pc can take it, I have some other games like League of Legends, The Sims 4 (uninstalled all of the sims 3 on this pc), minecraft wich shouldn't be a problem obviously.. and that's basically around it. What do you guys think?

Amazing! So much gameplay!
Please EA
I think it's too early to make an informed decision. Come back on March 31st/first week of April and read the forums...also look for Let's Plays on YouTube. I especially like LGR's Let's Plays. He's usually very unbiased about what he thinks.
After that, you should be in a better position to make your own informed decision.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
"We Don't Care If You LIKE The Game, Just As Long As You BUY The Game!"
I Disapprove (Naturally)
I Took The Pledge!
You really won't really get any good reviews until the game comes out, and people play it for real.
My favorite things:
- Cashier tablet checkout
- Ability to sell ANYTHING made, found/collected, or bought on Build/buy. (not rugs or Fishbowl though...)
- New type of Aliens, Alien Homeworld Sixam, Aliens in Disguise, make your own in CAS
- Baking Skill; 70ish new Recipes, Decorate Certain things
- Photography Skill; Filters for cameras, different size pictures, kids can take pictures.
- Painting Skill added too; Self Portraits, Portraits of Other Sims, Still Life
- Many New Items: 4 Doors, 3 Windows, (mostly in buy mode and are related to Careers)
- House Calls for the Doctor Career (in higher part of career)
- Arresting Sims!
- Scientist Career gives you the ability to be a total troll: Potions, and a ray thing to control other Sims moods, make them change their clothes, etc.
- Ability to pass on a shop to next family member when owning Sim dies.
- Money from Business is separate from 'Family Funds'
- Editable Mannequins!
- Editable Work Outfits
Careers:
- Story-like Detective Career
- A Doctors career that sort of tells a story
- More Open Scientist Career
- Open-Ended Retail Career
- You don't have to follow them to work, but it helps to follow all Active Careers
Free:
- 2 levels of Basements that automatically adjust to Foundations.
- New level above ground (total of 4 above ground floors)
But:
- No Home Business (but your Sim can stay at your store pretty much as long as you want.)
- Cheat needed to edit Hospital and Police Satation. (bb.enablefreebuild) Be careful using the cheat when you delete stuff, as certain aspects/objects are needed for the career.
- The sickness system seems too mellow.
- Very small (4 Lots) neighborhood (New World) that is the Retail District
- No Vehicles
- No Toddlers
- No Spiral Staircase
- No Lockable Doors (but they are working on this)
- No Assignable Beds
- Can only manage one Sim at Work a day
Did I mention aliens? :P Lol i'd get the EP for them alone! I may be obsessed lol. I can't wait to try everything out though!
I'd love a live broadcast though.

As far as I'm concerned from what I have read and visually seen on the trailers I feel that the game will be worth giving a try to form an overall SOLID opinion later on AFTER the dates listed above...but that's all I can say for right now however, I feel it's still positive feedback because I am willing to look further into it ...when in some cases after reading one blog and seeing one trailer I can be completely turned off by it and shelve it from the gate without looking back.
So, I'm sure in the upcoming weeks after release you will have MANY answers to your question some may be way more OPINIONATED then you were aiming to read about or hear.
(edit)
*lol* really?
-Active Careers: Detective, Doctor, Scientist
-Open For Business aspects
-Aliens
For me, these features for me interest me very much. It sounds very fun!
The only reason I'm waiting is to see if the emotions/reactions will ever be fixed, since they've been wonky for me since the base-game before the recent patches.

Your also getting
The option to create aliens in cas with new skin colors,alien clothing and new makeup and lipsticks.
Lots of new hairstyles and clothing for sims.
A new Easy Listening Radio Station
New rock tunes scattered in the stations we have now.
New interactions for sims.
An alien world
New neighbourhood
New shops that npcs can run so your Sims can shop or eat at the bakery.
Your prego sims can now have a baby delivered at the hospital with an pc doctor.

Male pregnancy.
Wait, if we're playing as the doctor, then can our other sims visit this doctor? I'm confused.
Also, random question about aliens: Do they have to be in disguise? Can they just be alien-form? Or would all of the human sims freak out over that?

Some YouTube's will be doing lets plays as early as the 30th when they download it.
The cheat to edit hidden lots (bb.enablefreebuild) is going to be a godsend, as I've got some plans for the Sylvan Glade (gonna make it a bit more fantastical, maybe with the ruins of an old castle or something, with some necessary amenities like a toilet and bed).
I wouldn't mind playing around with the hospital and police station, too, and I might as well turn the lab into some kind of underground missile silo (thank you, basements!)
Wait, when was this said because if that is true I am really unhappy about this. I don't want the game using the sims from my bin for anything
There is a heart hospital that plays beautiful music in their waiting room so I'm going to do the same with the hospital in game.
