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.

It really is questionable, and it preys on a lot of peoples' polite and hard-working attributes. Some Japanese media even call it out, like Pokemon with its Sea Mauville plot in ORAS.

Honestly, I use boarding school stuff for a lot of my stories. All my wizards go to a NotHogwarts school on Windenburg's island, the privileged go to a mansion-like school in Newcrest, and there's also a reform school. It's a great way for young sims to get to know each other.

I like the new counters, but I am lazy; I REALLY wish they were pre-stocked. Having to put clutter in them annoys me.

Should have just renamed "salaryperson" to "corporate slave" tbh, it would at least make me join the career so when other Sims ask me about my job, I'd say, "I'm a professional coroporate slave. They forced me to dance to the anthem."

Even the name itself sounds really...ick compounded with how it looks like you're specialized and bound to your lifetime wage slavery job.

I mean I know i guess it's true for IRL Japan (true enough that Simpsons did a parody of it in the 90s) but for me it's... the opposite of to show off in a cultural pack. It basically says "This country should be avoided at all costs". As a person living in a nation where strong Unions is a norm, seeing other people suffer of horrible working conditions is genuinely frustrating to me.

>"Salaryperson" seems like such an odd choice of name for a career.

It is for sure. I know it's from "salary man" that means an employee in Japanese, and they changed it for more diversity. But must sound odd for English speakers. Japanese-English words wouldn’t work when reverse-imported into English…
I wait to see its translation in the Japanese version.

Maybe Salaryman and OL (office lady)?

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...

School uniforms aren't necessarily a bad thing though. And they really aren't a synonym of being rich or attending a school for the rich. It's actually a way to not tell how rich or not a person is and it's a means to avoid bullying over clothing, as everyone wears the same thing. I know that some modern schools and institutions adopted uniforms as a form of "brand" to get recognition, but that was never the point. It's ok if it's not part of your culture but don't bash it just because it's different to you.

It is in most countries, because in most countries public schools have no uniforms. So outside England and Japan (that I know of), it is only expensive private schools only kids born with a whole set of silver cutlery in their mouths can go to. AND they tend to be quite full of abuse (often romanticized abuse, like in Harry Potter); the most prestigious Swedish private school had to be shut down for a year because the hazings of new students literally involved torture.

Azure is the coolest. I really like Graham too though, he's got the cuddly vibe.

I love Graham and the English guy.

❤️??And stages! ? ? ❤️

Hoping really hard for bands! ❤️

I really liked the new world, loved how different the three neighbourhoods appeared. I loved the hiking and climbing in the snowy mountain but now I kind of wish it was possible to have normal weather on it as well, wonder if we can adjust that with the weather machine. I was disappointed there was no Yeti in the cave on the mountain top. That ice cave practically begged for a Yeti.
