Meh...
I've been happily on board for TS4; however, the only word that I can come up with for both the GP and SP is "disappointing".
Hopefully, as more information comes forward about these packs, there will be something that will get me somewhat excited. But as it is right now, I couldn't care less about either of these packs to be 100% honest. Unfortunately, things have been very lackluster for me starting with the Vintage Glamour SP.
I really hope the next EP is light years better than these packs.
OK I understand being upset with Sims 4 because it is your opinion to have. However, tell me a stuff pack in Sims 2 or 3 that would have offered something like bowling?? No, they wouldn't. They would simply add nonfunctional items AND be 20 bucks. We are getting a whole activity in a STUFF PACK for 10 dollars less than the past stuff packs. You can't ignore the fact Sims 4 offers more value in terms of stuff packs than in the past.
Yes SP's offer more gameplay value compared to previous iterations.
However; I found the EP's we had so far offer muuuuch less compared to previous iterations too.
Seeing as I didn't see anything romantic in there, is there still hope we might get an update/patch like last year for Valentines or would it have to have been announced in the teaser?
If I remember correctly, bowling usually came w/ UniLife, right? So why all of a sudden they are putting ONE GAMEPLAY FEATURE into a pack of its own. Even it the stuff pack is just 10 bucks Shady business is shady.
Maybe so something like a university pack could come with more things that actually have to do with going to university and less random stuff thrown in because it was on wishlists? Bowling was pretty random for a university. Seemed to me that it was always just thrown in because they ran out of relevant ideas.

Didn't know I wanted bowling until now! Seeing as stuff pack usually come with 2 game play objects now I wonder what the other one is? Excited for vampires as well
Maybe the other gameplay object is an arcade machine? Or a slushie machine? Those are the sort of things I'd expect to see in a bowling alley.

Would depend. If it's a full on venue, we're talking about bowling alleys (which could also have a small home game version as well) and what the venue is programmed to do, such as food, bar, etc. If it's all that, I'd say it would be worth it. If just more kinda like Movie Hangout, well...yeah I can see the concern.
Again, we'll see what happens.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
As bowling alleys close across the country, The Sims team thinks this is the right time for a bowling alley game pack. So ahead of their time!
You realize you're talking about a game release where some people complained about the lack of newspapers and landlines phones right? The same game where some people lamented that their sims used their smartphones too much. People still bowl so I don't see why it's out of place. I understand the content trickle is slow but you can just pass on the bowling pack. I mean there's a good bit of support for a laundry stuff pack and I'd think that would be a small demographic.
Hoping some day for some toddlers. But also dreading they'll never come. JK THEY ARE HERE!
I'm not really interested in the vampires but I'm glad for people that want them.
I like bowling in the sims but I think its really shady (as someone said up thread) to put an item that was part of an EP previously in to a pack in its own and charge for it. It will also be really weird if its not an actual bowling alley lot. I was excited when Movie stuff came out, I thought we were going to get a cinema, instead we got movie channels.
One of my new years resolutions is not to buy the sims 4 packs as I'm just not getting the use out of them. I think these packs will make that very easy.

We got the arcade machine in GT. Though I wouldn't mind a smaller one, it would seem like a bland gameplay object for those who have GT. Especially if they use the same animations/game images. Maybe if they add 3 gameplay objects I won't be as sour if it is an arcade machine. Slushie machine would be great, also a big popcorn machine but same as the arcade machine, we already got that little one in Movie Hangout Stuff.
Bit surprised that Bowling is an SP....but then realistically what did Sims 2/3 bring to bowling to make it really unique? A bowling SP will introduce plenty of bowling centric clothes and decor rather than just one small part of an EP dedicated to it.
I wouldn't complain about having a bowling venue lot type....but do we need it?? Space is limited in the Sims 4 and although I hope for some lots to be made for my library it would be easier all round to be able to combine a bowling alley with a bar/diner.
Vamps I love! But the video didn't show too much for me to comment. Now with this I *am* hoping for a cemetery lot type for my deceased Sims/vampires/ghost/daredevil Sims to hang out!

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that! And we also got the games console in CL, so another arcade machine isn't likely then. Maybe a gumball machine and a slushee machine then? Who knows.

Probably because there won't BE a UniLife pack... or a very locked/watered-down interpretation of it.

Get Together = Nightlife part 1
Dine Out = Nightlife part 2
City Living = Nightlife part 3
Vampires = Nightlife part 4
Bowling = Nightlife part 5

That's EXACLTY what I was thinking after seeing this teaser!

Next gamepack will be celebrities if they continue this.

At least some people will be happy about vampires
Heh, you obviously don't live anywhere near my neck of the woods.
Spring = May
I will probably sound grumpy, but the most exciting thing to me in that trailer was the possibility of a fear emotion.
Sadly no, but the plants, sittable fountain and even the scheming wishing well could really spruce up a park.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
It's probably just going to be the tense emotion again...

Well 🐸🐸🐸🐸... when you put it that way. Things definitely seem a little lackluster.
