That was just so, so embarrassing to watch. If there was ever a doubt in my mind that this game is aimed for the 12 year old, bro single life party scene, there's no doubt now.

I honestly like the idea of this pack, it reminds me of TS2 Freetime. I really just don't think it's what TS4 needs right now. Maxis needs to focus on getting the base game up to scratch before they begin pumping out content that, honestly, no one really asked for.
Also the announcement for this pack at Gamescom was... seriously one of the worst things I have seen. It made me feel genuinely very embarrassed to be a simmer.

A UK marketing report talking about the benefits of targeting singles:
When I bought Sims 4, I was so excited about the way they touted emotions, but emotions need social settings, relationship interactions and shared activities in order to really come to life. With so little to do as it is (and how isolating I'm finding GTW is to play,) I'm not sure about having to buy what I feel should have been included with the base game. It's good that they're adding it, it's just hard for me to get enthusiastic about it.
I'm happy that others like it so far, but it's a pass for me this time around.
Get Together? is that a party and togetherness EP? What is the main theme?
There is something about new emotional states and /or interactions, but only very vague information has been given. I am curious about that myself - telepathy?

Did you play TS2 FreeTime? I didn't see anything in this trailer that made me think of the Freetime EP?
Get it together, EA. I love The Sims 4, but I have mixed feelings about Get Together. I'm going to get it still. Honestly, couldn't they have thought of a better idea for an Expansion Pack? Out of everything they could come up with, they decide to throw in a medieval village with parties? Wow, that says alot. I was so excited for today and stayed up all night, though all I saw was a three minute presentation of something that could've been a Game Pack. However, I still like TS4 and will give GT a go. The title still cringes me, lol.
The presentation was a mess. The trailer did not convince me because even though I do love the new world it seems like there is nothing new. We can dance! And buy coffee! And dance some more! *yawns* There isn't any key feature in this pack, no apartments, no restaurants, no celebrtiy/popularity system. So yeah it's a no from me.

That's great. Can you invite the Sims team and keep them there?

Would be an absolute pleasure I suspect they would have thoroughly good time round here.
My point is not all parties happen in the 'burbs.
I am pleased the game is getting some buildings that are actually not too far off in looks to those I can see out of my window, rather than an American 'burb.
We even have electricity and running water

no. this expansion pack lets you control a group of sims at once. if you saw the video there is a group of girls wearing the same outfit and doing the same dance routine. i love this pack and i hope from here we can have a seasons!!!!.

Maybe they are clones from the science career
Then that would be some cool gameplay right there

Is this a joke? Another party EP for single Sims? Barf.
I, for one, am eagerly anticipating the new EP. I have been married for 25 years (this week, actually) and my wife and I still love to go dancing in the clubs. Your Sims are only as old as they feel.
I'm pretty disappointed. I know some are saying to wait until we have more info which I usually agree with, however with them already listing the "Key Features" it doesn't seem promising. This should not even be an expansion IMO. It WILL be the first one I'm skipping unless there's a lot more they're not telling us. I will not pay $39.99 for a washed down version of an EP, sorry.
Oh and that dancing, I feel so embarrassed for them, trying way too hard to show that it's more than it actually is. We weren't born yesterday @SimGuruRachel

We already have dancing, drinking coffee, parties and swimming. I'm not sure why I'd buy an entire expansion pack just so I can have more of that.
The world looks beautiful, though, and the ruins look cool. I'm also excited about the private island. I hope it's not a secret location that's insanely difficult to get to. I hope we can have a house there.
Where are the pets, vampires, seasons and toddlers? (I want them in that order, by the way.)

Did you play TS2 FreeTime? I didn't see anything in this trailer that made me think of the Freetime EP?
When I think of Freetime, I think of activities and hobbies my sims can do in their leisure time. That's the sort of vibe the trailer gave me, with a bit of Nightlife thrown in there.
I might be wrong, I'm just going off what I saw in the trailer and the feeling I personally got about it.
What is everyone so mad about? I just watched the trailer, I see awesome new world with beaches, swimming in the lake, closets, finally better dancing, proper nightlife! Yeah I want toddlers too but I think it's awesome were getting a night life like EP
@Lindsmd113 I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. They could have done so much better for a theme like this, updated features that we already have doesn't scream EP to me. I don't even care if we get toddlers or not, but geez give us good EPs. I don't expect every one of my desires to be thrown into one EP, but I do expect something to scream out and tell me to buy this. For the first time in the Sims franchise.....it hasn't. Again, unless there's more they're holding back, I'm not holding my breath though.

Very true, and exactly why they're targeting singles.
Sad because I've been playing Sims 1 since I was a kid and I didn't care for or need the trendy party life scene to enjoy the game.
I think that's just it - partying and doing things as a group.
That is the main theme.
I'm happy that others like it so far, but it's a pass for me this time around.
