Here's Carl's review on the DHD pack, specifically on the career. It mentions how the renovations impact the clients (or how it doesn't...)... https://youtu.be/4pNcl2-xHIo

I think they can patch in a reaction to the dog poo. I wouldn't play that way but I see his point. With enough outcry, they might patch more into the game but frankly adding reactions to dog poo wouldn't add anything to my gameplay since I have no intention of doing that.
The pack is definitely part-Barbie dream house simulator, part-tv design show fantasy. The latter is a very popular genre in a lot of countries; seriously, you can find these shows just about anywhere.
I used to like his reviews a lot but he has gone off the rails a bit. I mean, JtB was not exactly for me but it was sci fi play for those really wanting it. If you wanted to play a Star Wars fantasy world, it had you covered more or less. Paranormal brought in new ways to play with ghosts and to potentially play out your own haunted house film. This one is to combine builders and gameplayers to design houses.
If they decide to patch more features or content into this pack obviously that would be great. I just don't think it's quite fair to rip the whole thing apart. Ok, the gameplay seems a little easy but it's an interior design pack. They probably figured that most people would want to make the spaces look nice and to add new content or utilize what is already in the game. For those who don't play rotationally, it's also a way that they can play with the other houses and residents of the game. It's an easy way to learn more building.
I think it's fair to criticize that you would like more content but as somebody else said, anyone can make fun of a game. I also don't think it is fair to criticize the addition of an interior designer career. Criticizing why this was a game pack instead of a stuff pack? Yes, I think that's a fair question. It seems like they patched one of the major components, the likes and dislikes, as a free feature.
