What are your plans for the new Style Influencer career that will be included in tomorrow's patch? Do you have a particular sim picked out for the new career? Are you going to jump right in or wait until Get Famous releases so you can also work on your style influencer's fame?
Here's the livestream to review.

The oldest wishes to be famous through her writing. She's working on skills, writing books, and advancing in her career. The younger sister, just wants to be famous, no matter the cost. She's going to go thru the acting career. She's been working on skill related to her personality.
Once GF releases, I'm moving the sisters into their own houses in Del Sol Valley, and I'll be playing 3 households then. My stylist sim will stay in San Myshuno until or if it ever makes sense for her to move.
One of the dressing rooms in the back will be turned into an office and once Get Famous releases I'll update the boutique with some of the new furnishings.
Oh, that looks very lovely! I can see that working out very well, not to mention being able to change a townies clothing when they step up on the platform from get famous. That should work out really well.
I basically plan on having some sort of stylist in most of my save games because it's a big issue for me (making over townies).
I have multiple ideas.
I want one probably in a true celebrity save that will become a famous stylist. I see him as being kind of mean though and over the top in his personal dress. I'll probably start trends though of more subdued styles.
When the game came out I made a couple to do townie makeovers.. basically they would move them in and exercise/make them over. I'm considering doing something like that again... more combining this career with a personal trainer. So maybe in another save I have.
For my horror save I'm excited about putting Sweeny Todd in this position (maybe he'll be a barber later). I'll makeover and set trends in that save and he'll kill of those sims that I don't want to make over. Will have to see how to work with or around the new reputation system coming with the pack though..
I do love the idea of working out of boutique @simgirl1010 also I've never given retail a go and maybe I'll combine the two possibles also.
I'll wait until Get Famous though. I want to play her in rotation with three other Sims that want to get famous.
They'll be slightly adapted versions of Bella Goth (actress), Bob Pancakes (social media/video editor) and Brant Hecking (DJ/music composer).
New Career – Style Influencer
Terrain tools, a first person camera, and a new career?! You’re one lucky Simmer! Starting today you can live your fashionable Sim’s best possible life in the new Style Influencer career. You’ll start off small by observing fads and reporting on the latest trends, but it won’t be long before you’re defining new looks that are worn by Sims all around town, or giving makeovers to help other Sims look on fleek.
In addition, two brand new objects will help you progress through this career…
Sketchpad
The sketchpad is perfect for the artist on the go. Not only can you draw quick sketches when inspiration strikes, but it acts as a pocket canvas for painters. It’s the simplest way to go out into the world and create beautiful masterpieces that can be printed and hung on your wall.
Sims with level 2 Painting Skill can use the sketchpad to create a wide variety of new art. You’ll find it under the Illustrative Painting interaction on the sketchpad.
Style-Board
The style-board is your Sims’ collage of inspirational material. A collection of sketches, photos, patterns, and material comes to life as your Sim is influenced by the world around them. As your Sim refines their own personal style, the style-board can be updated to reflect the current looks you’re working to create.
Second sim is Adéla Slušná aka Angel Pleasent . SHE grow up today on young adult . Now she live with her husband (Milan Svorc aka Dustin Broke ) and her sister.. she has firdt dialogue with three nice cloathing sims. It is funny!
The same thing happened to me, so you're probably not doing anything wrong.

So far, the career offers a bevvy of new career-oriented interactions, but social options like "discuss fashion" seem to only be available once per meeting.
I've also noticed that the digital sketch pad does not complete any of the requirements for the Painting Extraordinaire aspiration.
@simgirl1010 Your bridal shop looks great!
It pays so much though. I like to play the {young adults, without a care in the world} bracket the most - earning from 30 to 60§ per hour- and not many levels of the new career fit that. Only one actually.
A lot of cool interactions are unlocked at higher level anyway, so that's good, but my level 7 trend setter is already earning 205§/hour which makes her fall into my {filthy rich, never even heard of the word budget} bracket and I don't know how to play Those.
for starters, it's unlocked and put in household inventory as soon as a sim starts the career:
when placed in a room (trust me, this plain white room looks much, much better with the walls down so you can see the study past it), you can see the options 'plan outfits' and 'add impression', but both are greyed out. you need impressions to be able to plan outfits on it
to get impressions, 'discuss outfit' with other sims. this will occasionally give you an inspired buff that is then consumed by the board:
they'll use a selection of color swatches and eventually begin some outfit ideas, still basics, though:
apparently, floating high overhead is a... cloud of some sort (i was zoomed in so saw this just before it exploded):
that second image up there is it starting to explode, it turns into a confetti-like rain of simoleons and photographs that fade before they hit the ground
now the sim can plan outfits:
which takes you to (le gasp!), cas to... well, plan an outfit...
i'm silly and just used one of misael's default party outfits to see what happens. it's the outfit unlocked at the top of the oracle path of the criminal career. the one that looks like neo meets blade:
(thusfar, nothing seems to happen, but you can probably add more to the board as your sim gets inspired by these discussions. still plenty of room on that thing)
it also appears that there is a short (maybe one sim hour) cooldown before you can discuss outfits with the same sim again
At some point when you click on the sim you can also plan design (or something, playing in french) which I suppose lets you create outfits sims around the world will wear, but my townies don't. Does it work for anyone ?
I dunno what plan design does, but at a certain point in the career you can click on your sim to "create trends" and that is the option which lets you create outfits that random sims will wear walking around.

Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
What a lovely idea, and a beautiful bridal boutique!
If anyone knows Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, I've had the Bennet family in my main save for a while, but never knew what to do with Kitty career-wise. I once wrote a fanfic about her discovering her talent as a fashion designer, and this new career is... not exactly that, but close enough. A bridal boutique seems like a perfect place for her to work, especially since the girls were so obsessed with getting married in the book, and maybe I'll have Lydia quit her current job and help out in the boutique as well. The style influencer career has two branches after all, one for each girl.
Can anyone tell me what the branches are, by the way? I don't remember them from the livestream, and can't look them up right now because I'm pretending to be at work while thinking about new Sims stories.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
The branches are Stylist and Trend-Setter, but they're practically identical in terms of gameplay.
