🛒 Will you purchase EP18 Businesses & Hobbies ?

No, I’m tired of EA. My game doesn’t work after the last update. They want our money, while most of the games are broken. We get a little bit of the stuff we have been asking for after asking for years. While not getting most of what we want. Then the stuff we get is broken, while they count the money we give them. This is tiring. 

Yes, because I really like Nord Haven, CAS, Objects, New Color Wheel & Pottery Wheel.                                                                                However, I won't be having a Residential Business Lot in any of my saves until certain people 100% fix the Residential Rent Lot.  Because the new Lot will probably be glitchy.  That being said, I can totally bulldoze the bad lots & make the world historical looking for my Medieval & Victorian Game Saves.  I'm not sure if I can make Nord Haven Ancient Times.  Lol

Been on the fence for awhile. If anything the 'Hobbies' part threw me off in thinking it'd be like a Free Time type pack for the most part. Can be somewhat misleading thinking you're getting more than just one hobby you know? That and weary could be like a GTW 2.0.

From what I've seen thus far from some Game Changers and the customization? It's definitely far beyond GTW. Since, GTW focused on three main careers that you can join your sim with plus owning a retail store to which you could sell just about anything. '

With this pack you can actually offer 'SERVICES' and I gotta say I am very much interested in that. Definitely more than GTW and even the Sims 2 Open for Business. Oshinsims experimented on how a Daycare would go and it worked really well. I was impressed and James Turner tried to do somewhat of a 'hotel' and that worked out pretty good as well. In that aspect, you can really make a variety of different small businesses that offer various services and if you just have that plus base game you still have quite a lot of options to do as far as businesses. So, it doesn't make GTW useless in the least though I hope they might consider refreshing GTW and Dine Out with some of these customization options, especially in terms of having employees have certain tasks in controlling them.

 Some might find more fun in having more specific businesses for sims to actually go to than just retail, especially if you have to pay to go to said lot. So, I will get it......BUT more than likely after a few bugs are addressed first in game.

This is why I will watch before investing. Since I already own For Rent and have retail businesses in my game, all I can do is watch and see what new bugs will be.

I know I want this EP for sure, but I'm also scared to invest...I'm gonna rely on my healthy slim gut in the end.

I've shifted from "probably after a sale" to pre-ordering. I'm starting to have ideas about things I can do. Summer Holiday, who is now a romance consultant, can charge people who come to her office for counseling. And it will make rotational play interesting again. When I first played Get to Work, I had ten families, each of which set up a business. That save vanished about 10 years ago, but I could see doing something similar, and this time, I won't have to have each family own a separate residential lot.

NO! These are the reasons:

1. They used the same unstable system from For Rent EP that corrupts saves. I did not and will never buy For Rent or anything like it.  A few days ago EA announced that they are aware of the problem. If this is true, why, WHY are they selling an EP with this broken system?
2. To sell this expansion they broke with the patch many lot types of our already paid content: retails from Get to work, vets from Cats and Dogs, Community centers from Eco, also lots from HS.
3. They are trying to sell a gallery feature when for many simmers, as me, the gallery is broken. The gallery has been broken for over a year; there was some fixes, but they did not work for all players. BTW I paid for this feature (the gallery), my base game was not free. I've been playing Sims 4 since release day!
4. I waited 2 years and 4 months for a bug to be fixed. A bug that kept me away from my game for a year. A bug that the devs caused when fixing another bug in our already paid content. Finally it was fixed with the february 25th patch, the same that give me NEW BUGS lol. I'm now convinced that EA will break whatever I bought, and it will take years to fix it so I don't want to waste my money.

I hope EA becomes a more reliable company. Until now I will enjoy my already paid packs (yes, the stuff that is still working lol).

Yes, this one is perfect for a scenario I want to try. I haven't played TS4 for almost a year.

Not until the bugs with vets, retail, Highschools and weather are fixed.

No, far too little content for a full expansion. It is not worth that kind of money. I'll grab it in a sale at some point. 

Which is honestly still better than some packs released that I wouldn't even get for free. 

Not yet. To paraphrase Sammy Davis Jr:

• You can carry a bucket.
• You can carry a grudge, 
• But you can't carry on cause here come the bugs.
• Here come the bugs.
• Here come the bugs.
