Thanks for starting this thread. I just recently got this pack and at first I was both busy and while playing, I was with a household of sims in university. I just switched over to playing the household with this pack and added a decorator character as a roommate to another sim who is a knitting stylist. So far, I haven't played the gigs yet. It's deep winter and "tomorrow" in the game is Winterfest, so I'll be playing this in the next few real life days.
1. So far, I know that I would like to see them add a handiness trait. As in, there should be a trait for those who love being handy. This pack also should have come with an aspiration. It's weird that it doesn't. Come on, you're wanting to get the builders to play with the game, give them a chance to have personalities. Just like you have fabricators and knitters, it's odd that you don't have any aspirations for the main character.
They really ought to patch this in. Also, the love of handiness would be helpful for a lot of types of sims. I only realized it when I tried creating a character for this career.
2. It would be great to have the ability to make customized crafts or decor for the homes. TV design people do that all the time. It would be a bit like EL. I haven't actually played a gig yet but I'd really like the designer to be able to do original tasks. That's in line with the recommendation above to add your own paintings to a house. I'd like them to be able to paint their own chairs and tables in addition to what you can just add from CAS/BB. Even better, that could help to come in under budget more.
I think the CAS/BB is pretty good so far. What is in there is stuff that I'll use. I also like the recent update of hair colors. The types of decor styles that they added are nice, frankly. I don't have comments on playing gigs yet but so far when I checked, I saw that it was recommending some houses that I have thought are drab and plain. Fun but yes, if they want to add to this pack, I'll be happy.
3. I think this might have been a pack where they could have added the pottery and glass. You could make the objects and then add them as the decorator. We might have had less complaining if they'd done that. This also could have been a pack that added a color wheel.
