Adventure Awaits Official Trailer Feedback

When i saw the title "Adventure" I thought "FINALLY! They are bringing back the sims 3 adventure dlc, The best sims dlc ever made" 

I agree on the kid part, but the social experiment thing doesn't really seem like it "goes" for me.  It's not an adventure I'd want to be part of, I admit.

"Adventure Awaits" makes me think of scout jamboree themes. Honestly, some Sim packs sound like these, actual scout jamboree themes are: Face New Adventures, Growing Together, and Bravely. They sound a bit gimmicky, but I think AA is on point if that is the aim they were getting at. Instead of calling it "Getaways", "Vacation Getaways", "Outdoors & Activities", "Outdoor Getaway", etc. 

Or it reminds me of WildPlay (which advertise "adventure courses", ziplines, and bungy jumping). Making outdoor courses, and child to adult outdoor activities sound more hyped and exciting, than just an outdoor activity course.

But I admit when I think of the word "Adventure" + "Sims", I automatically think World Adventures, and where is my tomb raiding?! by default.

"Adventure" from kids point of view, kid imagination with the playground tower and the imaginary friend.

Social adventure with Challenge / Elimination system (Big Brother TV show social experiment)

Where is the adventure part? It's called Adventure Awaits, I expected an Indiana Jones level of Adventure.

I was thinking something similar.  The information we have about the pack doesn't really say adventure to me.  It says more "family vacation/holiday" (depending on where in the world you live).

Someone said it was Sesame Street coded. The legs sure look like Big Bird's.

Still waiting...for more info

The imaginary friend coming back is good and creepy all at once...I just can't accept that little doll after sims 3. 

I just hope the doll doesn't take over the whole game. Imaginary friends are real sims if you bring them to life but it's still a creepy doll.

The pack does seem to be a heterogeneous compilation of features/items, and if one is to look at previous packs could easily assign these features/items these previous packs. If they were previously shelved/in progress features/items that did not make it to previous packs or not—I guess is only speculation. But as some pointed out dumbbells did appear to be planned or at least teased for LS, and as others have mentioned some themes/items seem to be dead ringers for refreshes or redone content of previous packs.

At this point maybe this is just a placeholder pack to lump in a lot of features/items that didn't make it to other packs due to budgeting or timing constraints. But I do not think this makes people want the features/items any less. But may have some wondering why they weren't refreshes/updates? And I think the bottom line is just money. Refreshes/updates wouldn't make them money (or enough money if it convinced people to purchase packs they otherwise skipped beforehand).

If this is right or wrong or fair, I guess, is the community conversation at this time. I personally, haven't played Sims 4 long enough (since L&D) or have enough packs (less than half and no kits) to have a firm or strong opinion on the matter. But I know for a fact many people who have been playing for years, and have all or nearly all packs are showing concern to upset.
