Are You Buying Dream Home Decorator?

I'm getting it. I love the small build challenges in the new career and i love the reveal :) i was really happy when they showed we can rewatch the reveal :lol:

But... it's the first time a livestream puts me down... i really hated the let's play they did, explaining every detail, every interaction... reading texts... like if talking to kids, trying to convince us that if we walk through everything slowly and spend some long minutes watching a sim's tv channel it will look like they're showing us tooooons of stuff... It was kind of insulting really...

Absofreakinlutely! I have wanted something like this in TS4 since the release of the active careers.

For me personally, it will really drive how I play the game and incorporate one of my favorite things in the game which is to makeover houses, to make them more user friendly to my playstyl.

I know there are a bunch of people who are like "How is this any different than what we've always been able to do?"

Well for starters:

1 - Reputation system (this can be played several ways, try to be the best of the best ... or deliberately torture yours sims by putting in things they'd hate to see how quickly your reputation drops or trying to see often you can get fired). You don't have that when building freely.

2 - Restrictions on what you're allowed to redecorate. Being lower level on the career ladder you can only redo "rooms" so you may have to wait to make over the rest of that particular house, as you climb the ladder you get the option to make over "levels" ... as in the 1st floor or the 2nd floor. Eventually your reputation will allow you to make over entire venues too.

3 - Staying within a budget, if you're a builder or decorator who likes a pretty environment, staying within a budget might be tricky. I know I personally never worry about how much my houses are when I play. I normally decorate first, and then use the freerestate cheat to buy the house and then play.

4 - Footprint restrictions, some jobs will require you to only have a certain footprint size and keeping within those limitations might be a little more challenging

5 - The modular shelving and furniture will be easier to fit into smaller footprint houses, such as Tiny Houses.

6 - Making money once the gig is done, redecorationg freely doesn't pay you unless you cheat.

So yeah, to me personally, this pack will keep me busy and interested for a while.

There's lots of things I want in this pack that'll tie in with all the others I have, so yes. I like decorating a lot but need practice and loved that career in Sims 3. This is deeper than that.

Yes! On release. As soon as it’s available, lol. I love interior design & the build/buy looks amazing!

The BB and CAS looks nice, but there just isn't enough gameplay for me to justify playing $20 for it.

If, and it's a very big if, I got it:
Be on sale, at least 50% off
have lots of content I would actually use - pictures I've seen so far point to content being mostly modern :(
the usual disappointment/frustration with glitches/etc. reports are within reasonable levels - learned a long time ago that with EA's packs a wait and see approach is best.

I really like some of the BB designs I've seen from the pack, but I also intensely dislike some of them, and I didn't see any CAS stuff that interested me. So it's still pretty iffy at this point whether or not I'll end up getting this one. If I do, it likely won't be very soon, and I'm certain it won't be at full price.

I think it's overpriced and too small to be called a Game pack with only 1 new career and no aspiration or traits. It's a Game pack that literally doesn't impact your game unless you play the career, it just adds stuff... which means it's a stuffpack

I'm sure that people who love decorating homes will dig this and I occasionally enjoy doing something like this but it's unfortunately not much for me and I don't think I'll get much use of its contents.

A couple days ago, it would have been flat out "no," but after seeing the live stream, I'm a bit more neutral about it.

I like the sectional sofas, the closet pieces, and the clutter items, but have no interest in the career itself. And a few build items isn't really enough to convince me to buy it.

If I decide to buy it though, it's going to be on a 50% sale. It's not worth any more than $10 to me, since it's still essentially a glorified stuff pack if you ask me.
