I wish sims would actually talk while hiking and take selfies together. It felt a little awkward and like they could have been hiking alone and there would be no difference.

I expect they turn off all talk signs etc. when explaining the game otherwise we won't concentrate on what Graham's saying. The looked as if they were talking several times to me.

But there were thought bubbles and a plumbob, so I think headlines were on.

I was trying to concentrate and understand what they were saying. I don't think I understand American English any more or they mumbled too much.

I got annoyed by having to adjust my volume the whole time.

Pack looks good, Graham is very good at hosting these livestreams.

I liked that they explained in detail how lifestyles and sentiments worked, and also how they will work over time, and also that they showed that they can be turned on or off.

If it's anything I would complain about it's that you could see some townies with bad generated clothing, but that's more of a base game issue. I don't know if the team will ever fix that but I wish they could.

"Salaryman" is the Japanese term for an office worker. It really doesn't translate well.

It took me a while to understand what the job was due to the unfamiliar title.

maybe this pack/trailer has a lot of hints for next year? like the japanese school uniforms?

WHY do people obsess over these? There are LITERAL Japanese school girls in this pack. Hence, Japanese school uniforms.

@Beardedgeek because, I'm not sure if you were around here in the beginning of the year, but the madea poll... official one... asking us what stuff related to teens and high schoold we preferred, and if we wanted them or not. That happened aroudn the same time they made the poll asking us Snowy Escape stuff, which activities we wanted to do on snow, etc...

Seriously though, would it be really have been so hard to animate sims getting something out of a vending machine? Like bending down and grabbing the item? I don't know why, it's such a small detail, but those small, tiny animations just add LIFE.

ETA: I'm watching this slightly delayed because our government announced lockdown 2.0 at the same time, so if I comment on things you've all seen 30 minutes or more ago, that is why ;)

Any chance you are in Belgium? BecauseI don't watch it live for the same reason. :(

Lol, yes!! :D

Of all the times they could've picked it of course had to be 7 pm ;) So you're a fellow citizen simmer?

Yes, indeed fellow citizen. I think I will read/watch a summary later on.

I'm so happy about the costum stages/platforms. I'm so hoping for bands one day.

We'll have more than enough time to do so won't we :neutral: Hope you're doing okay, and that you like the pack so it can provide some distraction (or, dare I say, a snowy escape :blush:)

Private schools and School uniforms are so alien to me. For me it's only England, Japan that does it... and some very rich and privileged Americans.

Thanks for explaining it for me, now it makes sense. :smile:

And as I said elsewhere, the whole thing is just horrible. The whole idea of that career is literally making me ill; it's all just brainwashing and torture (mandatory overtime, company anthem brainwashing). No sim of mine will ever do that career and I will edit all premades so no Sim in my game have to do it.

Yeah, I really don't see making any of my sims have that career either. Overall, I like my sims to be happy. The Sims is my escape from the stresses of the real world. I avoid this type of job in my own life (though don't get me wrong, my career comes with its own types of stressors), so I don't want to make my sims do it either.

Finished watching it...I have to say I did not see 40€ of gameplay.... The sledging and skiing looks super nice, albeit probably repetitive after a while, there's the new hot pot, table and hot springs which are also great but that's most of the new stuff...? The world is gorgeous, which at this point they always are, but this isn't a world pack, it's suppose to be an EP and it's priced like one too.

I'm a bit disappointed because once again it feels like a GP with a bigger world. It really reminds me of City Living. Festivals that have no added value because it's all BG stuff recycled again with some new visual stuff.

And we didn't really see Lifestyles impact sims's personalities in any way, neither did sentiments. It's very apparent how useless they are due to how broken moodlets and emotions continue to be. Graham was talking about the sim being upset when seeing a guy he was enemies with, but he wasn't even upset! He had the moodlet alright, but he was energized from opening the kinder eggs thingy-ma-bobs and what not. Like, come on now. I can see them working sometimes but really I saw the same exact behaviors as ever, which was nothing substancial. The hiking feature is great but then again, you are watching sims walk and take selfies so...?????

The UI team did a great job as always though, but it seems like all of that is coming in the update, so...I guess I'll just wait for a sale to buy the EP, because even though I do want it, it's not really worth the full price.
