I suppose one day, when Sims 4 is no longer being developed and I can have mods that won't break with new patches, I'll catch up on whatever packs I want. So, yeah, I'll probably buy it someday. Unless it has major issues. But I agree with the folks who said that it's a total bummer these new systems are locked behind a pack, because Sims 4 never seems to get those systems updated and integrated with other packs the way Sims 2 did.
If this pack delivers what it professes to deliver, then it could bring me back in to the game.
I haven't played families since very early on (just after Outdoor Retreat) due to one of my kids getting taken away by social services because I didn't send him to school. Just poof, he was erased from my game and the entire memories of the rest of his family. That, in and of itself, showed me there was no connections or depth with the sims.
And then they "tweaked" births. I could never have just 1 kid. It was ALWAYS twins or triplets. Stopped giving my families kids. And to this day, I still haven't played with toddlers.
And over and over again, that lack of "under the hood" mechanics has been there all along. The only so-called" depth is with the pie menu and pretending they care by making them do things.
And disappointment carried on with the situational outfits and the loss of sims actually wearing the outfits you chose for them.
And more disappointment with cats and dogs. As a rotational player, any time I went back in to a household with pets, those pets were sick and needed to go to the vet. Every time.
So I am scared. I don't trust them to put out something that lets me play the game where I "rule" instead of playing their game....
So I'll watch and see what the reviews are, what the problems are, and whether the "features" actually do anything at all.
There is a lot of other content in the pack I am interested in, though, so I may eventually get this one. Undecided.
I like your idea of the phone walk being an option. Also, it would be nice if we could actually set phone use per sim……with maybe 3 categories low use, medium use, and almost constant use. I know I don’t use my phone as much as my youngest and her boyfriend use theirs. They love watching short funny video’s, and they are on their phone all the time. I mostly use my phone at home, for things like to forums, or FB, games or business, I don’t walk around using it.
For now my "maybe" is weak. While the livestream of the base game was clear and concise, the one for the pack was endless talk and nothing to show. I will look for information from the real players and the "game changers".
The Werewolves GP established a quality standard that I no longer plan to give up. I've been playing this game since the start, so my tolerance is not the same.
For now I'm more excited (and terrified) with the next patch.
I have doubts about the system of this expansion (another bad tunned featured??) and I don't mind the extra content (which doesn't change the game at all).
I hope this EP will be a proper EXPANSION of Sims 4 and not another Wedding fiasco or a boring High School full of undesirable stereotypes (yes, I did not bought any of them meh).

Also big fan of the realistic, everyday CAS and BB items.
I do really want it but I feel like I can’t really justify it at full price. I haven’t played since High School Years released and that was just to check out the objects (real life stuff is annoying)! I’ve seen a few items that I love (those suitcases 👀 so perfect for storytelling) and I love the milestone idea but how is that going to work with future packs? Should have been base game! I loathe entirely the fact that you have to pay extra for the changing table?! I am both a family and occult player and I have really been missing my legacy Sims save - haven’t played with them since DU came out! I have been saving them for a wedding pack and improved babies and now we have both so…
However, I did promise myself that I wouldn’t buy anything more for my Sims until cars were implemented so there’s that…
I don’t know what to do!
