The sneaking out is cool in theory, but my concern is that there will be no consequences for getting caught, which would defeat the purpose. I need more info on that.
The expanded texting I do not want in any way, shape or form. I've been wanting a way to turn off phones completely, not an expanded and enhanced way to use them more. I also noticed regarding that, it looks like it's not even an actual conversation, just individual statements. I also don't like it because it's more English over Simlish and I prefer conversational interpretations to be more visual through interactions and thought bubbles. Again, need more info but I hope it's not in a patch and if it is, I hope we can avoid or deactivate it. If it's pack exclusive and cannot be turned off, I may not get the pack. I know we live in a high tech world, but I just don't find it fun to play with. So I'll wait and see.
Everything else, meh, I mean, after Werewolves it's excessively tame . (Haha, see what I did there?) But I know many people wanted this stuff, so that's great for them. I was just hoping for some expanded instruments, band, and some teen angst and drama. It all just looks so...nice. And that certainly wasn't my own experience, being labeled as an outcast/freak. Who knows though, maybe they added bullying in the mean conversational tree and some spicy romantic betrayals. Again, we'll see in the livestream.
Rabbit holes though, I just don't like. But if they are utilized specifically to add more to the open neighborhoods as opposed to what we used to have (excessive picnic areas and playgrounds over and over again) then it is an improvement.
