Yes, definitely if you enjoy a little magic in your game. I've been playing all afternoon and it's a lot of fun. Sure you could probably blow through and experience almost all the new stuff in a day or two, but the best part of the Sims (imo) is the stories you can tell using the new features.
Right now I've progressed my new spellcaster up to master rank and married her to my master vampire. Together they are going to run a school teaching vampires and spellcasters (mostly his descendants) how to use their powers. I'm honestly having a blast so far!
