I really hope this is not only about redecorating your neighbor's homes - something that is possible via Manage Worlds since 2014. I see new climaxes of repetitiveness coming 😌.
I will be pleased if we get:
- a great new preference system with (hair) colors, styles, music, food
- a plethora of new exciting gameplay objects, and I'm not talking about a pizza microwave.
This just feels so empty. I like all the stuff but where is the gameplay. I love active careers. But going into build buy is something I can already do.
I wonder if bunk beds was originally designed for this pack. It seems like this pack is the reason they are completing them.
I’m not holding much hope for this GP.
One career for $20. And that looks to be it.
Any preference system will most likely be free with the patch.
It’s sad to see how bad GPs have gotten; they used to be the best packs.
I’ll eat my words if there’s more to this pack than is in the trailer, but I’m skeptical....
I'm used to the fact that Game Packs stand for Gameplay, you know. And they were my favorite for the long time... But around ROM they become very watery. And this pack again feels so empty at least for now. Especially comparing to paranormal SP. Which shows that not only the budget matters but the team enthusiasm and other qualities. I hope that one day SimGuruConor will supervise Game Packs. They need it badly.
Also when 1/3 of the trailer main character is reminiscing about her family life while people begging for Generations... It's just like mockery It feels out of place in the trailer and very strange overall.
I’ll admit that I am intrigued and eager to find out more about preferences, but as others said and knowing TS4 I don’t have much hope for them to affect anything other than the new career. I’m sure the players who primarily build are super excited, but I’m so confused as to where this pack came from because the community has been BEGGING for so many other things (generations, more occult life states, farming, baby update, personality update, and on and on and on...) and they seem to hear none of it. I’m just dying for some new gameplay, not a $20 career that’s basically build/buy mode with a fancy new name.
The furniture and CAS look nice, too, but tbh I can get CC for free if I want new items 🤷♀️
I’m holding off most of my criticism because just maybe it’ll be more than we think it is but I have to say I’m seriously bummed with this pack. At the very least, I’ll buy it when it’s 50% off or something
if the pack is better than expected then the blame is on the marketing team
Well said. Watching the recent trailers I always wonder if Americans really talk like this (JTB was the same).
That trailer was awful. So cringey. It was basically just filled with fluff and filler, barely any gameplay showed at all. I didn't even watch it to the end, it was so obnoxious.
It's amazing they had a 2 minute trailer that showed basically nothing and was painful to watch
Next time I hear a voicover in another trailer I am going to mute That video was basically a 3-minute long monologue. The most boring monologue ever. I was praying for the end of it. It was a suffer.
I wonder why people do not mute trailers as default by now. I have sense that horrible UNI trailer.
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

I agree, the whole family reminiscing section told us nothing about the pack and it seemed very odd to take up time in a short trailer to do that. Makes me worry when they can't fill a trailer with info actually about the pack
We have had trailers that made poor choices on what to show in the past so I'll wait for the livestream before deciding whether I want this one.
I can't wait until the summer sale so I can snag it for the $10 it's worth. Anyone know if you can bundle with kits instead of stuff packs? I may wait until the EP comes out.
The furniture was so ugly. I think the couches and the toddler tent? thing? and a couple clutter objects were the only things that looked good. It feels like most of it was just a worse version of a lot of the modern furniture styles we already have. I can't really say much on gameplay because it's hard to tell if it really is that lackluster, or if there will be more to it. But I'm not enthused.
Can't believe this thing is a *Game* Pack while Paranormal, which has much more gameplay, is a SP. I'd choose batuu over this GP in a heartbeat, that's all i have to say.
Well this is a pack I will buy on sale. I love the look of the items but I’m not paying £20 for it. I build my own lots so would not use the career which is its main feature. It seems it’s only got the gamepack status due to the amount of bb items. I could hardly see much new cas stuff and pretty much no gameplay unless there is more to it then they are telling us.
Was mildly interested in the pack before the trailer, because I was foolishly holding it to TS3 standards. But I saw nothing in the trailer that even remotely intrigued me, in fact I was more annoyed than anything given the awful voiceover.

I agree that section was really odd. I wondered if there was some hidden significance to it, something that we haven't really seen yet, but I'm probably just reaching.
I want to be excited for this new pack, but I just feel so disappointed. I really hope there is more in this gamepack than just "go into build mode and decorate".
I prefer to spend my time in live mode playing with my sims, not building and decorating. I have a personal save I use and all of the houses have already been decorated, so I'm not looking forward to having to go back and work on them again. I did all that work so that I would never have to touch them again!
Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised and it's more fun than expected, at least, that's what I'm hoping for. I'm still going to give it a chance.

I was just thinking the same thing this morning.. .GPs used to be my favorite packs by far. But the last year or so? Yikes.

The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
