I'm pumped for the new stories & starting conditions! While sometimes I like to play with a brand new/build from the ground up types, I think I'll be using this feature a lot
I never thought we would get something as simple as a new look. You guys really go all out and I love it! And the new objects are such a neat idea. I appreciate it so much! Thank you Sim Gurus!
The story-mode addition in CAS looks like such an awesome way to implement the request for starting Sims out with skills etc that I have seen many times across the forum. Can't wait to try that out!
I love the new loading screen -- the blue will be a lot easier on my aging eyes than the white. I hope the fishing ponds are included in the unlocked items -- I go into Debug mode to find those the most so that would save me a bit of hassle. And looking forward to the unlocked plants/trees as well. Stories really makes me happy -- I'll probably be uploading some more households to the Gallery with that. Only disappointment is that it seems to be for YA+; I'd like to have one for children and teens, unless you can get those if you add Sims when you're creating a household in CAS. I hope it's not just for single Sim households.

Now the burning question: With this update, if I create a sim the old-fashioned way, will I still be able to assign starting skills and a job? Because that would be an awesome addition!

I am wondering about this as well, hopefully they added the option.

It reminds me of the old Sims look, but I'm definitely looking forward to less eye strain!
Also idk if it's just me or whatever due to some color blind issues but I literally cannot tell the difference in the color between the game and expansion packs. The look is nice; just can't see a difference....
and the personality quiz seems fun!
though not sure if I am quite ready to be making a new sim to try it out if I can't assign it to already made sims
legacy oh great legacy
also that debug update is AWESOME
finally after all this time so much things to use
so many decorative items and landscaping that FINALLY goes with the worlds
Also, on the new main menu screen under Free Packs, there were three items instead of the two that I'm used to seeing. So holiday pack, grim's ghoulish guitar and a third mystery free pack... Anyone catch what number three is??
(It might be the Story CAS update thing, but can't wait to find out for sure)
Now that all this world clutter is usable in builds, including some of the fake houses, I finally know what to do with that oversized empty lot in Mirage Park: Build a small house in the middle for my sims to live in and put a few fake ones around it.

I think it's the big family picture that came out some time ago, but I'm not sure.
@jadonbakes That family picture was only available under certain conditions, I believe, and I can't find it in my game either. But it's just one item (like the Grim Reaper's guitar), so you're not missing much.
Loving the new loading screen also.... the bright white is hard on my eyes.
Looking forward to the CAS stories... really excited that they will come with some skill points already and different starting funds depending on how you answer.. have a feeling I'll be pushing the retry button a lot. I know some of this stuff can be cheated in but I just hate looking up or using cheats unless I absolutely have too. So yahh!
Happy for the new stuff/unlocks especially the plants.
....And all I can say about the new branding is yes!... Another way to say we are here to stay!
@Wisteriia yes they said you can still create sims the normal way.
The CAS quiz looks cute, but I don't like how the traits and aspirations are locked after the test. I think they should still be editable just in case you get one you don't like. If you can change the way they look and everything else, I don't see why everything else has to be permanently locked.
The re-branding changes look like hot garbage though.
I do wish they had taken a more considered approach demonstrating the new CAS story mode. I feel like if one genuinely came to it with a persona in mind, one would end up with more coherent Aspiration and Traits.
The round-robin, off-the-cuff answers led to a grab-bag assortment, without a cohesive theme.
Still, it demonstrated the feature in general, which I suppose was the point.

I like the new CAS mode. It would be nice if you could go in and edit already made Sims as well to give them careers and such.

...in other words, aside from that, the new Story Mode is awesome!

And the CAS thing is cute too! I will most likely be using it.

They said explicitly that the original mode is still there. Story mode is entirely optional.
