Thank you so much to everyone for posting your thoughts and experience with this pack, I really appreciate it! I'm in awe y'all took the time to post such in-depth reviews. You've given me a lot to think about. It seems almost 2-1 in favor of the pack. Eases my mind a bit that the intrusive celebrities was tweaked in a recent patch. However, I've read in another thread the acting career, which is the only career included in the pack, has a serious bug in that completed tasks for gigs are wiped out if your Sim travels anywhere. But, it's also been reported that Sims are still getting gold anyway for gigs. So, I don't know what to think about that.
Does anyone know how long the Origin sale will last? The reason I ask is a free packs giveaway to hundreds of Simmers is currently in effect for the next 24 hrs. by EA/Maxis for the 20th Anniversary of The Sims. They'll randomly pick winners from our wish lists on Origin. Thinking I might wait to see if I win Get Famous, would be a nice birthday gift eh? Depends on if the sale will still be going afterward though. I'd be disappointed if I didn't win, the sale was over and then I'd have to pay full price for Get Famous.
IF, I decide to get it. I'm leaning that way though. I took another look at the build/buy and CAS for this pack and half price to me would be worth paying just to have those items. Plus, since I do love playing Rags to Riches, it would be fun taking Sims to fame that way, and satisfying. Not necessarily with the acting career though. Y'all say it takes a long time to get fame and then a lot of work to keep it. Honestly, that doesn't bother me in the least, I don't see it as a negative. I'm not an instant gratification kind of person, delayed gratification can be just as satisfying, if not more, to me.
Thank you also to those that wished me a Happy Birthday, very sweet of you! :)
Happy Simming and Happy 20th Anniversary of The Sims too! <3
