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.
They said it's a work from home career along the lines of the city living careers. You can send your sim off to work if you want, but you can have them work from home as well."MizoreYukii;c-16757179" wrote:
Wow, that's pretty awesome. I thought they said terrain tools weren't possible though? Does this mean the other stuff they said wasn't possible is now possible? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. But either way, very excited and I don't even build anymore. xD Can't wait to see what gets made with the new tools though!
Remember, Things Change (tm). As they learn more and more about the capabilities of the game/game engine, they're making new discoveries.- HermitgirlNew Spectator

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?
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.
But I want to do it as part of gameplay... for immersion. This allows that. - userafwNew Spectator

Loving the trolling so very good..
Terrain trolls.
It "comes with the territory". As my husband would say, "You walked into that one." "stilljustme2;c-16757217" wrote:

Besides which, I don't think they ever said terrain tools weren't possible. I can't recall any comment on it at all. From SimGurus, at least. Just from Simmers.
EDITED TO ADD: OMG love the drawing tablet, can't wait to make walkout basements and houses tucked into hillsides and whatnot!!"Sigzy05;c-16757153" wrote:
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.
I agree 100%.- userafwNew Spectator

Giving sims make overs is something we have been doing since 2014. It’s not new.
But the ability to do it in game and having it tied to a career is new -- you can makeover Sims if you have one of the GT closets as well.
It’s new but not new overall. You don’t need a career to do it.
But its cooler to have a career, don't rain on our parade
Modders have made more than 25 careers to date. The difference is that official careers don't break with every update patch.
Then again, since the next content patch won't be until at least November, that means my mods and cc won't break until then. - paradiseplanet27Seasoned Newcomer

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)
They said outright there are branches. The female Sim had already chosen one.
That part must've glazed right past me; if you could give me the exact timestamp that was said..? - HermitgirlNew SpectatorYou gotta have the sour grapes team. It's inevitable lol. Me I'm loving it.

I don't remember them saying it wasn't possible either. In fact, it seemed from a number of unlevel spots in the game they may have been working on them from the start.

This video was not overhyped. This was some pretty exciting news. It makes it seem that they really do have more plans for game expansion beyond just adding in more CC and consumables.
ETA: Good job gurus and thanks!
