Currently, from what I've seen in this trailer, I'd say yes it looks overpriced. There appears to only be 1 career, the fame system and a new world, which doesn't feel worth $40. However, if the acting career is really complex, has multiple branches and gives you a lot of creative control, then perhaps no it would not seem overpriced. We will have to wait and see.
If you base the decision on just the trailer, sure we only "get one career". But if you read the other information coming out, and see that any career can lead to fame, then it makes a lot more sense financially. It breathes new life into old careers like Entertainer that felt pointless before; maybe you play it once just to say you did it but now there's an added incentive if you choose. You could play Johnny Zest and help him get that big break he's been looking for. I'm actually more interested in how fame is implemented with the existing careers than I am the Acting career; active careers have been problematic for me when my Sims have a spouse and family. It's important to look at the big picture and not set your preconceptions in stone based on a single trailer.
