Oh I thought they’d be teasing a new pack. I’m happy with what they are adding, don’t get me wrong, but I feel a little disappointed.

I feel the same since Maxis Monthly is replacing the little clips we would get every few months. Got myself too hyped for the wrong thing, but looking forward to seeing what builders will do with the terrain tools

Well that was a downer, no October patch and nothing exciting to happen really.
Sims 4 is not the game Sims 3 was, it's boring. :/

:star: Over the Moon :star:

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.

This 100%. The only thing good about this for me is that it is free.

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.

THIS^^

But... those terrain tools.

I hope that what they mean by 'Trend Setter' it applies to actual modeling..?

There's a new fashion career. If there's no patch, how are we getting the fashion career?

When the patch releases, it’ll include the career. There isn’t a new career right now, they just showed it off a bit

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

I’m giving my opinion? I’m not raining on your parade. To me it makes no difference weather you change Bob Pancakes out of his bee keeper hat and spa robe by pulling him into CAS in game of pretending he’s approached your sim for advice. It’s the same tool just a different path to the destination.

I agree as well. They could have done so much more with this kind of career. Also, i'm glad we got terrain tools back for the builders out there but I don't really build a lot so its not my thing. I would much rather have had a patch this month that fixed some of the many bugs people have been having since we didn't get one last month. Guess we'll be waiting another month.

It may not make sense to you, but I predict a lot of players will appreciate and enjoy it. And the ability to change townie outfits without using cheats is going to be a Big Plumming Deal to a lot of players. I've added GT closets to a lot of venues for fixing fashion disasters...now the closets can resume their proper function, places for making out and Woohoo. >:) People have been asking for new careers, now we get one and it's free.

As for the sketchpad, I'm looking forward to that the most. I love doing Paint by Reference paintings, but it can be hard to figure out where to put the easel to get the right angle, and some places you can't easily fit an easel (like if you're in the middle of the rope bridge in the Selvadoradan jungle). And since it's in personal inventory it'll be a great gift for artist Sims.

Finally, though they didn't go into much detail, the terrain tools they were showing at the end looked awesome. I can't build worth a lick but I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of builds end up on the Gallery using the tools.
