That was worth watching. I'm more interested in the new career and the sketch pad but terrain tools are good too. :smiley:

I'm more happy for the fashion career also but the terrain tools gave me a great feeling for the builders. Will be great to see what they do with it.

Can you really call it a fashion career though? I didn't get to see much of it, never mind that they didn't even tell us if there were any branches?

They said they weren’t going to say everything regarding the career. Every career so far has had 2 branches though.

Of course I presume there is two branches of it; regarding the fact that there's two main aspects of fashion: styling and modeling!

I'm only excited to finally give my male models something they can do for once instead of mooching off someone else's money as their boy toy lol. (not withstanding modding ofc)

I think the digital sketch pad might be a little easier to work with than the easel. I've noticed that my Sim doesn't always place the easel where I want her to, and when the terrain is uneven, it's awkward. And I'm looking forward to the new painting style -- illustrative, I think? Basically I'm looking forward to everything.

No offense intended, but that was so lame.

A fashion influencer career? Maxis you can do better. That was just so so lame......I'm so sad...TS4 just really isn't coming through.

It's not a modelling career, it's not a stylist career, it's another stupid instagram career. I like the new digital art sketch pad, but you can't even do fashion sketches, so....what the actual..... There's no fabric sampling, no sewing machine, no catwalk, just writing more articles on the computer....how fun. And the animations look like they are straight out of the Sims Mobile, so disappointing. I thought it was going to be a better update. A lot of people have been asking for a personality update and we are getting a lame career....

Also, the digital art sketch pad does everything an easel does....it's a cool object but really, why are we getting another object that does everything we already can do in the game? TS4 can't afford that luxury with it's lack of content. So disappointed.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I know we are getting terrain tools eventually but I’m not going to fall over myself with glee for something we should have had in the base game. Meanwhile the game has been buggy as heck since June and we are still not getting any bug fixes.

As long as I have the ability to change the way townies dress. I'm going to use it. That's the blow me away part.

You can already change townies outfits from manage households though.

He said it's a very early look so they didn't show off everything that comes with the career. Also they said two new objects come with it but only showed the sketch pad. Is there something else I missed?

And...live stream is over. No new content confirmed for October because they are "polishing" it and making it nice and shiny. However, we did get a glimpse of what looks like a TERRAIN TOOL, a new career coming (no word yet on whether it is an active career, a form of self-employment, or a rabbit hole career), and what looks possibly like a sketchbook and maybe the ability to create art on the computer, if my interpretation of what I saw is correct.

One use of the terrain tool that I would love to see in this game would be the ability to create my childhood home, which was built on a hill. The basement door exits at the bottom of the hill, and the front door and kitchen sliding door exit at the top of the hill. Yes, it was a two-story home. Part of it was underground under the hill.

It’s a stay at home/rabbit hole career.

But we already could..?

Once again not exactly through being tied to interactions/careers, but still.

If those were all in the free Patch I wonder what will be in the "Paid for" content pack coming at the end of the year? What will be in the new "Paid for" Pack to need those additions to the game?

I like the sketchpad and the new career though I would have liked a lawyer career better.

They said it was a work-from-home career, like the City Living careers and the Gardening career from Seasons.
