If it weren't for Island Living the first thing I'd do is revisit one of my penthouse builds in San Myshuno and use a lot of the Build/Buy items. As it is, I love the new camera, the photo frames, and the clothing items. When a patch comes out for the bugs I'll check out everything else.

I think the build items and the CAS items are okay... I also like the new poses but I would have liked the photography career to be a little more fun. It is super easy, and some jobs takes a whole day to complete just because your sim has to receive their photo in the mailbox.
I was pleasantly surprised with this pack. Even though I'm not a Moschino fan irl I love the BB objects and most of the CAS included. Photography career is still a bit buggy though. I'm really hoping another patch can solve most of the problems I've had so far.
It is okay, taking photos can be fun with the new equipment and poses. But sometimes my game will freeze while taking photos... then I have to restart. The career is bugged too. I also don't like having to wait for the photos to come in the mail. Doesn't make sense either. Not in this day and age.
The photos have bad resolution when out on display, I don't know if this is just my game... Makes me think what is the point then? lol
Some furniture and clothing items are nice. The hair is weird.
Photography is one of my hobbies. I LOVE this pack and it adds more to it than I initially gave them credit for. The only gripe is that we don't have a photography studio lot option.

I actually never fool around with the cameras like... at all. In fact, I downloaded a few CC careers and those with Photography Skill requirements I will just cheat the skill up.
The only reason I'm unhappy with it is because of the bugs. It's been a pain in the plum to try to do the tasks for the fashion photography career when things don't register as done or I don't even have the option to do them.
Most annoying thing is that the photos are always turning awful quality (blurry and jagged edges) even it says "outstanding" on them.
I got it for the build wallpapers and lights, and found myself really liking the photography backdrop, and the tripod's function. I like how the sims can be made to wait for the photographer to come over and take their photos instead of wandering off too.
I'm not planning on buying it (at least until I'm happy with the base game, if they ever fix it).
I want those photo frames and windows. I love taking cute photos of my sims and their families as a way to remember what they've done in their life (since the memory system is absolutely useless). It makes me more attached to my sims and it's cute to see their lives lined up on the wall. However, 100s of photos can take up a LOT of space, and these frames will help a lot.
I do like a small number of the CAS items, but I bought only because of the added photography. I wasn't even going to buy it until I learned about this part of it.
My biggest problem with anything coming from EA lately is the sloppy and unfinished way they are putting things out. Each pack is worse than the last as far as bugs go and yet they still want their 2p. I did not buy this one and really see no reason to until they either bring the price to around a couple of quid or give it to me. If I want mossie I can make it and a few windows and camera are not enough to make me hand over ten quid. Sorry but it's a no from me lol.
I love the photography career. The BB objects and some of the CAS items are great. Fortunately I haven't experienced any of the bugs that others say they are. This has been a great pack for me and I feel I've gotten my money's worth.
I want them to fix the photography functions. That was the main reason I got it. I do like some of the CAS/BB and have already been incorporating it for some of the wealthier sims.
I always review all of the items before I get a pack and I decided there was enough that I would use.

That’s what has me tripped up too! All I keep hearing about this pack is the bugs! Apparently there are plenty
