The new designs look cheap (and horrid). The old design looks far more professional. Also, does the "locked in aspirations/traits" mean that people (even if they don't use that randomizer quiz) who design their own sims are stuck with the aspirations/traits that they choose? And what about changing townies (via mods, which are, thankfully, available to us). Are the townie traits locked in as well? How will this modify our gp in full cas mode?

And, people who are excited about the unlocked items- keep in mind that this is only for the packs that you own... So what is unlocked will be far less than the (overhyped) "over 1000 items" that they said. Additionally, you could already access those items already through buydebug (and you can see that some of the objects- watch when he does the big rock and tries to scale it down- which are too big for lots.. so unusable). So that's nothing new (except you don't have to go to testingcheats on and type out 'bb.showhiddenobjects').

The “new” items @SimChi are only there using buydebug and have not been in there previously. You still have to use the cheat. These are world objects like the fx cars and billboards which you have never had access to. Even new plants and rocks (whether you can size them down or not). The people excited are aware of these facts. I’ve seen many builders very excited about this since it’s a ton of new decor that is for the most part useable and I can see some cool things coming out of some of the objects.
