Are You Excited About The Dream Home Decorator GP?

I wouldn’t say I’m excited. I don’t know how it’s going to work playing a rotational game. But I’ll wait and see when I hear what people who have it say. I would have preferred an astronomy career, a romance pack, hotels or a school pack ( even bands or werewolves ). But I do like active careers so, who knows, it might be something I enjoy. It does seem to come with a great deal of furniture. I hope we are able to use furniture from more than this pack and the basegame for renovations. I did notice a small fire engine, and that play area for children/toddlers... so hopefully there will be more stuff for children, be some nice clothes snd hairstyles I hope too.

I hope they give us a new world with some houses and townies in it that we don’t really care about because I play rotationally and already like the houses and apartments I have already decorated.

If it comes with create a style...... I will be excited!!

I was excited waiting for the pack. I kinda like it. It has a very interesting BB. Gameplay wise, I need to learn & know more. I'm not sure about playing in live mode, then switch to build mode to complete the task (I don't want to imagine if there's a lagging or even crashing when trying to complete the gig).

In fact, it's something that I usually do without having to have a career (whenever my Sims have enough Simoleons where I could buy them something in return). I might wait to see how others are playing with it, and perhaps, will be getting it, when it's on sale.

Getting more excited, been watching the trailer in slow-mo and tweets and I really love a lot of the furniture and the modular aspects of it. I have a number of mid-century modern style sims so this could replace or fill out some parts of those houses.. or just be modern looking.
I want to hear more about the career and how it works but I like gameplay (but not so sure of my decorating skills) but if they go job by job and I don't have to do a house full it might make me play it out more.
Really, really interested in the preferences and guess that's the mystery CAS trait. That's gotta be base game stuff coming.
Also have ideas for more deviant gameplay involving doing stuff the clients wouldn't like on purpose or just decorating/furnishing badly and seeing if they can succeed doing that too. Anything for drama and grins at times.
I'm excited for the builders too... maybe it will pull them more into game play, like maybe it will pull people like me more into building.

Not at all excited. Nothing wrong with what the pack is offering, it just doesn't fit into my interests or game play. The trailer is also really annoying to me, I didn't know interior design turned you into a valley girl sounding ditz, who looks like they're trying way too hard (bonus lost points for gender essentialism, because of course the female interior decorator is inspired by the way her poor, struggling mother baked brownies & looked after the home *eye roll*). If I wasn't already not interested in what the pack has to offer, that initial trailer probably would have been enough to put me off as it was.

I was interested until I saw the cringe promo video. No thanks.

Lol, I actually thought that was the cutest part of the video. I’m hoping the pack will give us the ability to make a family picture like hers..... I would love that.

Not a career I would be interested in. Career's should be something people aspire to be, just like in RL, or a Fantasy World profession. Most people that I know who play the game basically try to mirror life like they would want it to be in RL or they make some kind of Fantasy world to disappear in so they can forget what's happening in RL. So lets add career's that people aspire to be, something that you would have said when you were a child like "When I grow up, I want to be_______. That would be cool." We need career's that can revolve around the vacation zones as well as the other worlds, like a Star Ship mechanic, a Park Ranger, an Archeologist, a Vampire Hunter, or a Sorcerer Supreme (Hint, Hint). Any new careers that are added though, let's make sure they are like GTW, not rabbit hole careers. Add in some new vacation zones as well as a blank World were you get to choose the sized lots to place in it (we all want 10 64x64 lots in a neighborhood sometimes lol). And please, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!! Can we get lots that are hybrid lots. There is no reason why we can't own a 5 star diner and live above it in an apartment.

@MaddMartiganLV Oh... Funnily enough when I was younger, I played the Sims and thought, “I want to be an architect. That would be cool.” It’s something I aspired and eventually got and it all started with being a builder in The Sims 2. It would make me happy if this pack makes younger players interested in my career.

That said. I’m kinda on the fence for this pack. There are admittedly some cool assets that I can see myself using for my builds. But I also already know that I’m not going to touch the new career (too similar to what I do for a living). So what sense is there in getting it?

I’d love hybrid lots! That sounds amazing! :)

I really only use CC to build and buy, and this is an overpriced stuff pack with one active career (that is still just a new way to use build/buy mode). I’m not excited for it at all. I am hoping we get likes, dislikes, natural talent/hobby (like in Sims 2 Freetime) and favourites in a free patch before the game pack releases.

I might buy it in a bundle, but only if the expansion pack is something I really want.

I like the objects they show but the gameplay is not really for me. I think I will get it in the end. Perhaps as a bundle with the summer EP.
