    I'm super excited about all the new stuff they put in the pack this looks like it's going to be a really great expansion pack but it looks like the rumor about firefighters being added wasn't true which is kind of a bummer but we got two new NPCs anyway which is also really cool
    more for sim kids and more drama please

    Firefighters are true, they were at the very end of the lifestream :)

    I am pleased that they are releasing fixes to the base game. I really really hope they continue to fix the base game. I love the sims and it is really sad to see it in its current state.

    Seeing the freelance crafter branch, I hope they'll bring more multi-skill freelance branches in future patches and EPs.

    Also, I think there's major combo potential in Island Living (Mua Pelam beach lot + Sulani BBQ) + Outdoor retreat (outdoor cooking, tents) + Eco living (power sources) + Tiny living (as with OR tents and such, you don't need much indoor space). I might make a 'modern hermit' sim in a separate save that'd have a 'tropical garden' home lot on Mua Pelam, living off the land.

    What I'd love to know soon is what the upcoming GP is, and when; as well as when the knitting pack comes - so I know whether to wait for it and bundle Eco + Knitting (even if just for the metal radio) + the GP.

    Edit: and I love the updated bill system as well as the updated inventory. The patch alone is one of the best patches, right up there with Freelancer patch and stairs2.0.
    I like fantasy and a bit of Sci-Fi. Want to know what I'm reading?
    I also like wandering the hills.

    I think a lot of people owe the Devs apologies. But they won't, because they're not that kind of people.

    I just think the pack looks even better than I thought it was. It affects so much more than I was expecting.
    Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

    Thanks! :D I did kinda guess that. I might just do my traditional 'buy and download when I want to play' kinda thing :smiley:

    Only if you're willing to use a VPN though - there's no actual benefit provided by EA, but with a VPN you can download as soon as the game comes out first - which is when it comes out in Australia / New Zealand :)

    I noticed they added districts to Willow Creek so I guess they're adding districts across the board.

    As @SimTrippy said, only if you VPN, but other than that there is no pre download for preordering or getting it in advanced, same time for everyone

    @Loanet Yes, all worlds now have their districts labelled. Even Newcrest.

    I'm very likely to purchase this pack as it is a realistic theme, but knowing me, I won't touch most of it. I did purchase DU upon release but have not explored university life yet.

    Being eco-friendly has never been massively important to me, I'll admit. I'm viewing this more like cheap living for poor sims.

    I'm curious how easy/hard it will be to keep worlds within a certain footprint. I don't want wind turbines on every lot!

    And does the research & debate skill affect one's ability to influence?

    Oh my gosh! Only 2 weeks left. Such a short, and yet long time to wait. I am so excited for this pack!

    i wonder if the firefighters show up when the smoke detector goes off. having to call them could be dangerous.

    Two weeks of trying to resist watching game play videos, I am not this strong willed! Trying to stick to build/buy and cas reviews. As an 80's kid the CAS is appealing to me and I can't wait to get my hands on the build/buy :smile:

    Since Knox and Bess are story sims, what happens when they age up and die? Or are they immortal like the butlers and nannies in my game?

    I think the Devs said they get replaced as soon as they are moved/deleted/die. The game will generate another NPC sim to take their place.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing what else is coming for The Sims 4 this year the Eco pack is turning out so well I'm just wondering what they're going to do with other subjects and I would love if they put the same amount of the detail subject that I was really interested in like a romance or generations pack or wedding stuff pack
    more for sim kids and more drama please

    I am really hoping the gamepack will be romance based!! I feel like this would really help flesh out sims personalities.

    They show after the fire starts.
