Wow...I mean the 'gameplay' seemed poor in the other reviews but..eesh, this just shows how poor it is. The sims were happy with poop...says it all.
Really should've been a stuff pack, the build items and such look great no complaints to be had there but this is not a gamepack.
Didn't even get a new world, at least with a new world it would offset the lacking gameplay a bit.
Shame :/

To be honest, I wouldn't expect the game to be looking for all the tons of objects in Buydebug and blacklist objects, especially poop.
Who goes around looking for poop to place? A bathroom without a toilet, a kitchen without a refrigerator, stove, or sink, yeah that makes sense.

Yeah, the game doesn't even look for that. There are no required objects for the gigs.

The more I think about this, the weirder it is. The code already has it built in for various lot types, so it seems like it could be adapted to say a kitchen needs these objects, plus add something random (but sensible) like the client wants plants (opposed to randomly wanting a rock wall in the kitchen...).

Don't sims usually have a disgusted reaction to poop? just seems weird that they don't mind it being there and are actually happy it's there.

They don't seem to have used a 'required items' for the gigs though. So you can have a bathroom without a toilet ect so long as it's the fave colour the sims will love it.
There just doesn't seem to have been much put into the feature of this gamepack. Just some animations for the sims and a wee slideshow.
It's just disappointing, it could've been much better, add a new small world where you could do up some lots as well, could've been a fun pack.

Agree. Ambitions came with several careers plus a lot more content, it was a packed expansion pack. Now we get a 20 euros gamepack with only one career and even that one is incomplete and completelly missing the point... I'm so disapointed!

The reviews have pretty much confirmed my opinions of the pack, it’s for builders only and has nothing of value for a player like me.

I will wait for a sale and buy it for the CAS items. Hopefully they will have the bugs/glitches fixed by then too.

Is it just me or has he become more and more negative? I remember when Carl's Guides were neutral or positive. The last year or so it seemed he's always upset.

I don't think of it as positive or negative but realistic. He proved every statement.

I find it a major let down that the career doesn't have proper requisites/constrains. That's all i was looking for. Because renovating homes isn't new, the constrains were the challenge here. But it looks like you can do whatever and the game will accept it. Just make it the right color... very disapointing...

It is "popular" now ;)

I miss the neutral reviews too.

I always want honest reviews.

Funny to see a review BEFORE the actual product is out...

Game changers have access to the packs before us. It's a great marketing strategy.
