I copied this from the What Happened in your Game Today? ......
Journey to Risa!!!...err...Batuu….:(
Ok, so curiosity was seriously getting to me so I went ahead and got the Journey to Batuu pack. I am holding my opinion for now, but I will be honest and try to show any issues or game mechanics I find if anyone is curious about the game. There are some generally perplexing aspects to the game, some parts are very repetitive, and some that are generally really fun.
Here goes:
Oh my Force, did you see what just flew in?! https://i.imgur.com/nYGes0D.png
This is going to be interesting...https://i.imgur.com/ijiBAiN.png

So the Beauchamp triplet sisters Rachel, Rosie, and Rebecca and their significant others, plus their first cousin Joanna Fontenot and her hubby Vincent all threw in for a fun trip to planet Risa. They would take alien Clint’s spaceship.
They were so excited. Planet Risa is the pleasure resort planet of the galaxy if you like Star Trek. If any of you are Trekkies, you might recognize Risa as the pleasure resort planet Starfleet likes to frequent for vacations. The whole planet consists of warm tropical breezes, beautiful tropical oceans, pristine beaches, exotic food and extremely friendly locals. They were all excited.
Here’s a resort you can visit if you play Star Trek Online (the other video game I love to play) https://i.imgur.com/AqnzOYd.jpg
I love STO, I would totally be for a Star Trek pack.
But instead, they had some engine troubles and got stuck on Batuu :(
Simeon Silversweater is less than impressed. https://i.imgur.com/RdPJ51U.png
(I used MCCC to reset their outfits, when your sim travels to Batuu they automatically twirl into Batuu clothes)

Everyone got their bearings https://i.imgur.com/7veU968.png
Yes….I sent the whole troupe to the cantina https://i.imgur.com/CriKVgk.png
It was utter chaos lo. Like herding cats lol https://i.imgur.com/aIS4o0V.png
Apparently Thorne Bailey’s superstar fame has reached Batuu (he’s married to Rebecca)

He made the occasional fangirl faint
Rebecca is like “good job, dear” (she’s in the blue crop top behind) https://i.imgur.com/lSkD3GV.png
Apparently Get Famous fame and reputation work here. Thorne and I had a blast making the locals faint https://i.imgur.com/Ld5aL2m.png

The group immediately start ordering drinks (I wasn’t controlling them)

Simeon is less than impressed with the popcorn crickets https://i.imgur.com/Uq0cZXL.png
I was tired of resetting their outfits via MCC, so we stuck with Battu clothing. I sent brothers-in-law Clint and Simeon out to scan stuff and explore. https://i.imgur.com/nAnexPd.png
Meanwhile Joanna introduced herself to Honda Civic.
Or whatever his name is https://i.imgur.com/T9pd455.png
They wound up staying the whole sim day and night but I was experiencing some mod conflict issues with the new pack and new patch (MCCC). I didn’t want to damage my main save, so I didn’t play long, maybe half hour real time
Also, we had to go back home because apparently Vincent and Joanna have a major gambling problem, because we went from 800 galactic credits to 3 XD
They started to autonomously play the sarbecc game and lost all their money! XD

So what about the Occults on Batuu?
So I dunno if you can tell yet but I play with primarily occults so I was curious to see how they worked on Batuu. Sadly, their powers and abilities are negated for the time they are there. Spellcasters cannot cast spells or duel, but if they have “always use broom” and a favorite broom selected they will use fly around on their broom. Sorry @ryttu3k Simeon will not be able to turn Kylo Ren into a cactus :( Maybe someone will come out with a mod soon! https://i.imgur.com/BEDR3WU.png
They can charge magical power if they have the ability but that’s it https://i.imgur.com/PqlsFNh.png
Aliens have no powers except for disguise/change disguise. No alien socials
Vampires can not fly as bat, mist, etc or feed on any sims. They cannot use any vampiric powers or feed even from a plasma pack. There is a building they can go to that is a rabbit hole to fulfil needs. A “drink uncontrollably” icon pops up when they are replenishing thirst. I was laughing at that, apparently the vampire is attacking some poor fellow hotel guest? XD https://i.imgur.com/dlS936N.png
Joanna's UI needs window looks a bit weird because she's a vampire/witch hybrid, but another vamp I sent experienced the same issues.
I sent everyone home after that.
