I'm one of the players who really disliked the whole idea of CL because of the cuts and the disappointments that they did with it so I won't be getting it.
I want all the players who purchased CL to post Your experience with the EP & tell me how is it like playing with it , is it as good as You thought it's going to be or is it a flop like what get together did to me.
the reason why I started this post is because I was one of the people who were really excited about "Get Together" & thought it was going to be one of the best EP's brought to the sims , after playing with the pack for a while ; I was majorly disappointed with the clubs system , the night clubs & the cafe's.
so I want to know if people who were defending this pack & were really excited about it still going to enjoy it or it's going to turn out as a mess.
Please be honest & don't sugar coat anything.
see You tomw when the pack gets released

To me it's definitely worth the money so far!
I predict that I'll be super excited about CAS, build/buy things, and the new recipes. Sadly, none of that is gameplay, but I'm almost used to being disappointed at this point.
Edited because phone typos
Cas is cute and love build buy. Wish the world was a little bit bigger tho but oh well!
Genuine question, why didn't you just cancel your pre-order then?
No elevator animations is honestly a major bummer, wish they would have incorporated that.
That's it for now. I have yet to leave the apartment or go to work.
I've watched Deligracy's cas vid, sadly there are barely any plain swatches for all the bright clothing.
Yeah, I was disappointed by that - the clothes are actually really nice, but a few 'quieter' swatches would have been great.
I'm liking the clothes in City Living more than Get Together though.
Yeah but we rarely ever get clothing like this, we can get plain clothing in almost any pack
You can do that? Well, now I've committed to reviewing the pack!
Honestly, while I do not want to give EA more of my money, I'm pretty desperate for any new content in TS4, so I'll just grit my teeth and pay the $40 for a half-baked EP. It's sad that we are that starved for content.
I used to be just like You "I got every single pack so far" but decided that it's time to stop here & only should get things that I REALLY WANT and like in the future no matter how much I'm starving for content
Then just wait for a sale, plus I'm sure other people will be reviewing this so you don't have to. Tbh I have a rule of thumb that if you buy a pack on release I'm counting you as a fan.
No, many of them do have CL and are actually playing it now.
I don't really care what you consider me TBH. I am a fan of The Sims franchise. I'm just also extremely disappointed with EA. Don't try and punish me for buying the game. I am still allowed to scrutinize and criticize the game. I would say especially so since I'm putting my money into it.
Actually, I stopped after Get To Work. I didn't buy anything until a few months ago where I was like, ah why not and bit the bullet and got Get Together. I love the CAS and build things from Get Together, but I can honestly say that I regret buying it. I did get it on sale along with some stuff packs too, so I didn't feel TOO ripped off. It was the price it should have been all along lol.
The apartments are neat, but they really don't add anything new to gameplay. I don't think the challenging lot traits are challenging ENOUGH. The bubble blower always seemed to give really weird moodlets, but I like that it exists. The talking toilet was nice in that it's essentially a luxury toilet, but I mean *shrug* is that really a selling point for the pack?
So far, I've only been to Geekcon and all the "swag" that you can buy is some fireworks and a snow globe. It really does revolve around base game content. It's...I'm sorry, it's just plain boring.
I don't know what else to say other than it's boring and there isn't really much to do. I do like the new careers and that there is the option to work from home. I like the politician career quite a bit. I like choosing a cause and being able to check on my campaign. I like that what I'm doing matters towards something. Will it truly shape and effect the world around me? Probably not.
Singing has no value since there is no career for it. Basketball has no value for the same reason since it's just the athletic skill.
There are no new aspiration rewards and the two new traits are so shallow. They even reused the little house icon for the new aspiration trait and it's just a freaking happiness boost while being in San Myshuno. And the reward trait is that festival items cost less. That's...not worth it. Gives me absolutely no incentive to complete the aspiration.
I'll play some more and give more opinions as I do, but for now, that's what I have to say. It's just as disappointing as we expected it would be. I wouldn't buy it. I may even ask to get a refund
I preordered too and I'm in a love / hate relationship with the sims 4... it has potential but unfortunately the direction it's headed isn't good.
I have a bad feeling it will be like that dine out or whatever EP, I will play for a day or two / up to a week and be bored with it. I hope I'll like this one, it's just hard for me to play a sims game with no toddlers, this is why I prefer sims 2 and 3.
There is a nice guild up by Carl detailing what all you can do with the new singing skill.
I really hope you do love it. Just because I'm very disappointed doesn't mean I don't hope others won't enjoy it. It is just very lacking for me. I will check back in after I get higher up in my politician career maybe. I don't think my opinion will change though...
This is one of the things I am looking forward to most in this EP. I have 4 sims for sure that will use it. My Diana Krall being one of them. I will have to revive her from my library now that there is something new for her to do.
... I am sincerely confused. Why on earth would you spend your money on supporting something you don't enjoy? It's your money to spend, but I am truly baffled by this sort of decision making.
Oooooh, don't forget to share pictures! I love it when you share screenshots, because they're always amazing!
Look, I'm a huge Sims fan. I've been around since Sims 1. I'll always be around. My qualms with TS4 is that it has no depth. Nothing I do changes the world around me, my sims personalities are overrided by emotions, the emotions system is just a buff system that is easily controlled by objects and tea and baths. I adore the build/buy mode. I adore the CAS. I feel like I can make sims with much more personality as far as appearance goes, but I feel so limited in how they actually play out in the world.
I would love to go back to TS3, but I'm spoiled now with the new CAS features. I don't mind the missing CASt, I don't mind missing cars, I don't mind rotational play (just wish that it wasn't such a freaking gamble switching households thanks to relationship culling). None of those things ruin the game for me. It's that the game has such a linear focus that there's no creative freedom in how my sims live. We don't even get life states anymore. I can't even enjoy family play because no toddlers and also the family tree sometimes culls random ancestors.
It doesn't feel like a sandbox anymore, but every EP brings this glimmer of hope that it will introduce some new components that are game changers. In the past, TS3 days, there was always SO MUCH to discover even after watching the devs show off tons of features and content. There was still so much to be discovered and explored.
I want TS4 to be a great game. I'm not just complaining to fill the void. I'm complaining because this is my favorite game series and I want to see improvements. I'm a simmer for life. Just because others do not feel the disappointment I do does not mean I have to shut up or stop playing or stop buying. I'm trying to make my game fuller and more enjoyable and I'm trying to voice how I feel about the game, but it feels like there's always a group of people who jump in to tell me that I should just disappear either in my complaints or from playing.
I do have fun when playing, but I can't help but feel limited and disappointed. I never felt this way when TS2 first came out or even TS3. Both base games offered so much amazing new ways to play that I was obsessed. I just never felt that with this iteration of the Sims, but I want to. And I'm trying to.
