Get Famous is being released as an Expansion Pack, and will cost $39.99.Based ENTIRELY on what you see in official information, does Sims 4: Get Famous look overpriced to you? This question does not depend on whether you'll get it, or whether you think it'll enhance your style of play, or even needing more information. It's pure opinion of what you think at the time of clicking the poll button.

People who voted "No", may you iterate? Currently, what's diffirentiating it from a normal game pack is a normal-sized world which doesn't justify the extra $20 slapped on the product. I am getting it either-way since sales are often 2 weeks after launch :P but can't justify spending $40.Movie sets and a reputation system aren't that impressive. More complex systems have been introduced in game packs such as Parenthood & Dine Out.

The heavy amounts of new animations and voice acting justify the price.If the acting career was a CL type career, then it would be a game pack. Animation is super expensive and it looks like they didn’t hold back at all with this.

I just hope there is more to the pack :3 Don't find the animations a justification since game packs had a lot of animations too (Vampires).

It's not like the devs need to add new coding to make a new world. Sure, it looks big, but so does San Myshuno.And I personally can see quite a bit of recycled content in the trailer. The soap commercial set for example is entirely recycled content.

As an Expansion Pack, does "Get Famous" look overpriced?

We only got a teaser of what the game is going to hold. I think it's too early to scream how this should have been a game pack.

Not liking a pack =/= not worth the asking price of said pack, which is so far the only 'justification' for the given yes answers of this poll.

-We don't have enough information yet to say it isn't worth the full price. We haven't even seen gameplay, let alone in-depth livestreams, reviews, or guides about it. So how are we determining 'worth' again? Oh, right. Preference.

-We know the fame system extends not only to the active career within the pack, but every other career in the game. That means it's as expansive as the club system from Get Together, a *gasp* EP. The world's probably the same size as any other EP too, for that matter.

-Movie sets and a rep/fame system IS impressive. You just aren't interested/liking them. Again, that's a preference, not a judgement of actual worth. We've already seen more CAS assets in the trailer alone than what comes in GPs. Probably more build/buy too but I haven't counted them. And obviously there's more than we've seen in the limited trailer anyways.

With the limited info we have now, there's more reason to objectively believe this EP is on par as any other than to believe it's not. Subjectivity isn't a measure of the price tag. At best, it's merely what you're willing to pay for it yourself.
