My overall opinion:

I think it's too early to say whether it's good or bad, cause I am not sure if this tease holds more than what we can say for sure. If cars will make it, I think its pretty good and cool of them. I know foundations are something people wanted for so long, so I'm happy for them even though I won't use it like a maniac. Its nice to have for me and I appreciate it being added. Maybe later on i will be more happy with it.
The career.. Ok.. It's nice they added a career that is normal and probably useful for many sims. i would probably use it too. I do wish they would add in more careers. I get this one is for free, but they could have added careers through packs as well. They are needed. We asked for a lawyer career for so long and it should be here already. I do like the active careers. it's all I want to play most of the time. i also think the option to work at home, play active or just send your sims off to work, is very good and should always be like this in any sims game!
However.. they did use many of the same animations again, meaningless interactions. Maybe there is more to it, cause they didn't show us all, so we will have to see for a complete opinion. But from what i could see, they could add in some more meaning to this career by actually drawing fashion sketches instead of paintings (of a horse..). Let's see more about it when we get it and get to play with it.

Just holding my hope for cars and Sims 2 style with animations and in-car options.

Careers like lawyer, education, etc. could be waiting for a University pack to be added. We got an actual gardener career in Seasons and before that we got the three CL careers. so they are adding careers in EPs when they make sense. Someone mentioned there's a new art type, Illustrative, so maybe that's the one needed for the fashion career.

Personally I think they do not have a clue what to do with the game. This was just some more meh...
I am sure she will be able to handle a plate of pancakes better, will go very well with her Bop Pancakes spa rob.

This is how I feel about it, because they hype a person up for nothing!

Did anyone notice the building that looked like a garage at the end? I haven't read all the previous post.

That wasn't a garage. It was a tall building still short. The very end just before he got up and walked away he began increasing it's height.

Yeah someone mentioned that the music thy used in the beginning also was from TS2 nightlife which introduced cars. I haven’t played TS2 enough to know if it’s true but if it’s true that’s awesome! The fashion career also says be the “vehicle” in the description.
Hopefully it means cars

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.

It's the first time he is in the Stream team. SimGuruNinja said he had been working with him for ten years! He was actually very good but needed his mike nearer his mouth to get louder!

Shouldn't @SimGuruSteve have noted that? #BlameSteve :D

I almost don't wanna give my opinion or I'll get called 'ungrateful, or 'a sour grape.' Like if your not excited over a not really modeling/stylist career that's mainly just computer typing or some terrain tools, then you're a debby downer who should keep their opinions to themself :/ Its free, yes, that's great. Thanks. But I paid hundreds of dollars for this game(which is insanity) and so I really wish it lived up to its potential, sorry.

WOW, this is awesome! Fashion career is something a lot of people have been asking for, so hooray that they will get to do this! And I like the idea of having far-reaching influence as a stylist by setting trends that could spread through the neighbourhood (though I sort of wish you could customize which Sims are likely to jump on trends and which aren't, which doesn't seem super likely). But then WOW, terrain tools, can't wait!!!!!

I wonder how this career will compare to the Fashionista career mod found here https://thesimsresource.com/downloads/details/category/sims4-mods/title/ultimate-fashionista-career/id/1426092/.

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.

Speaking of things changing, they might still be able to add a multiplayer option...but I still don't want one, and here's why: Multiplayer games rely heavily on microtransactions to finance their servers. Multiplayer games generally do not allow cheating (and I always have cheated in every single player Sims game to date, usually with the money cheat). Finally, I already play similar multiplayer games, like Avakin Life and City Girl Life. I have a Facebook gaming account for the latter with about 600 Facebook friends....and at least 400 are players of the same Facebook games I play. Social networking games encourage the player to "friend" everyone who asks to be a Facebook friend whether you know them in real life or not. And sometimes that way, you get plumholes. (And yes, I just deliberately self-censored.) These people are rotten plums, as opposed to tasty edible plums which I enjoy very much, thank you.

I think a multiplayer game would be more of a spin-off type game -- while they don't officially support mods, they build the structure that makes mods and CC possible. Likely a multiplayer game wouldn't be able to accept mods and CC.

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, 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.

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.

It’s free.
It’s designed so you can paint from reference on the fly, which makes sense.
Not everyone wants to take an easel out.
We’re also getting terrain tools.

It’s a good patch. Let’s not jump to doom and gloom.

You’re holding “paid content” expectations for a free patch.

@Sigzy05 Also, they told us that this was an early, early look. Sneak peek. There's probably more included that they haven't shown.

I'm not holding my hopes up.

But I love that TS4 is finally getting terrain tools after 4 years something TS1, TS2 and TS3 had in the BG.

I just hope the terrain will offer the freedom we had in TS3, where we could build fences besides staircases and across multiple terrain levels, and build stair paths.

If I can build a house, exactly or better as this one that I did on TS3, I will go back to TS4. Not for gameplay though.
