To each their own, but I do think DHD is a valid way to play. The Sims team most likely put this in a game pack to cover the costs of producing all the buy mode assets (I assume SP’s have lower budgets). And although it is true that we could just enter the bb.enablefreebuild cheat and edit any lot we visit, it’s more rewarding for it to actually be included officially in a way that it can impact your Sims’ lives and emotions. Where you don’t have to get mods or make-believe whatever they’re experiencing.
On another note, while I did voice out my disappointment from the teasers (I work in construction so I thought the GP would feel a lot like work and not a game I play for fun), I was secretly hoping that they would’ve developed this into a full architecture game pack. Like include something for the exterior too? Or at least body hair and some construction jumpsuits and PPE? I guess we’ll find out more in the livestream.
