After seeing several reviews I still think this pack has too little gameplay. I think the size of the pack is determined by the price to make it, not by the amount of gameplay vs build mode. Due to so many modular furniture, I think this pack is too big for a stuff pack, but I don't think it has enough going on for a game pack.
My problem is the fact that there is barely anything you can exclusively with this pack.
Sure we have a new career but we can already do very similar things in the game already.
We already have careers that allow to pick gigs (freelance careers, acting career)
We already have careers where we visit sims homes (police and paranormal)
We can already build on the lots of other sims if we want to
We can already take screenshot of our builds.
We can pick likes and dislikes for 3 categories for our sims in base game. The new decor style is fun but not game changing.
Even the objects (which are tempting) are mainly cosmetic. You can already build a walk in closet with the base game shoe racks and clothing racks. The new ones look nicer but that's it. The separate cooking top and oven allow nicer placement but the actual cooking is the same. And the modular sofa don't change the way sims use a living room, you just can't multitask on the chaise longe. Once you have renovated the home, your actual game play won't change. The only new gameplay possibility is the play tent that can be used by toddlers and children together.
Past game packs always had some gameplay that was exclusive to them. You can do these things without the pack. I used to like game packs, some of them are more essential to my game than expansion packs. I can only hope this won't be a new trend. Batuu had the excuse that Disney would not allow us the freedom to play any story in their world. But what is the excuse for this pack? I think this is partly the result of many gamechangers focusing on just building and barely playing. Let's hope the next ones will be better.
