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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Loving the trolling so very good..

Terrain trolls.

It "comes with the territory". As my husband would say, "You walked into that one."
