The new guy is too quiet as well :(

What new guy? There is no new guy there that I see. I think of them all Kate is the newest.

I believe they were referring to Jeff, being his first time on a livestream but has been working with Maxis for sometime now..?

Yeah, I meant new as in "just joined the chat right now" rather than new to the franchise. I haven't watched any of the livestreams in a long time though, so I didn't actually recognise any of them. I think the last one I watched had something to do with the pack that ended up being Laundry Day Stuff.

It just struck me as odd that both of the male gurus had volume control issues.

Agreed. It doesn't even seem like a proper career, it sounds more like what young instagrammers would dream about. "I wish I could talk about fashion all day and give people makeovers and be paid for it".
This new career doesn't interest me at all.
But I am very glad about the terrain tools <3

The new career and digital sketch pad are ok. The new terrain tools look great. But none of it was worth a hyped-up live stream. They could have mentioned that stuff in a simple blog post with a few pics and wasted a lot less of people's time..... not to mention .... emotional interests.

They made it sound like everyone on planet earth should tune in to see their mind-blowing announcement ...... of what turned out to be just ........ a digital easle. Oh yea. Lets not forget the new Mr. Dressup career.

Tell me you're kidding me. Tell me I didn't wait around the last few days for THAT.

Seriously?????

Well, I like the terrain tools. But that still could have been shared via blog post.

This. Thank you for this.

Well I'm super excited. I've been hoping for terrain tools since I first learned S4 didn't have them <3 And while the career isn't ground breaking I think it's a nice addition. I have a sim or two who will make use of it :)

They could have, but I liked actually seeing how smoothly it worked in the video. Would like to see and know more, but this was just a tease.

Wow, I never thought we would get so much. A dream come true. <3

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

I love that style of career -- I'm using a suite of mods that adds work from home features to base game careers.

I actually think the fashionista is a great addition. Some people won't use it, sure. Others will absolutely love it. I'll use it on occasion if I want to make the townies look ridiculous (because I like ridiculous). It will be fun to play with.

The terrain tools are absolutely amazing, though.

Thank you gurus for this patch. I think it's great.

New career looks interesting and terrain tools are going to immensely change the in-game environment. But I am still wondering what were those clips from the voice actors about and did they hint at a possible announcement (for next week) at the end of the stream?
