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.

I mean, it's fine to be personally disappointed, but to say its not living up to potential or calling it a bad patch does sound pretty selfish for the thousands of builders who have been begging for terrain tools.

I probably won't mess with them myself too much, but I am excited to see what the builders can do.

They haven't gotten anything since glass roofs, give them a bone, they quite literally help keep the community alive.

I personally want to see firefighter npcs and an overhaul to teens as patches, but I recognize not every patch will be something I love.

we haven't had anything since seasons ether I feel we're all new gameplay starved at the moment

Hm yes, we had the free Caribbean update that had A LOT of free stuff. But yeah, having to wait for this is painful...but I'd rather it be perfect.

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 addpeoping 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.

True, we got new careers, but they could have added new careers in the early time of the sims 4 when it was even more needed. The requests for basic careers are on the forum so long and we actually still do not have them. They might come, but my point was that they should have been here earlier actually.

Which careers though? Because they've given us Doctor, Scientist, Business, Athletic, Gardener and politician in patches and packs, and they were all highly requested basic careers.

The only one I could think of is education. Which would be perfect in a university pack.

oh there's still a lot of careers people want

fame career
model
actor
singer
dancer

everyday career
firefighter
daycare
life guard

I could go on and on @Zeldaboy180

Oh, I'm sure there are a bunch more careers, but I was specifically asking which basic careers people want, basically meaning normal every day careers like the ones you listed.

I wouldn't call life guard an everyday career, but the other ones definitely. Although I for sure want every career you named. I actually don't care if firefighter is a playable career, but it's looong over due to be patched in as an npc at this point.

People will never forgive TS4 for being rushed into production, and now when the devs delay the release of a big new feature to fine-tune it, there are still people who complain! :lol:

Well, it looks like they've set up a new way of giving out news.

Thank you for watching :-)

Hope you enjoyed the stream!

Did anyone else see at the end he made one building with foundation and another one without? Am I hallucinating? Please someone tell me I am not wrong! I have NEEDED this feature since day 1!!

Sadly it was just the basement that looked like a foundation. Could probably do some tricks with that though.

I am 90% sure it was foundation. It looked alot like the default foundation and it didn't have that wall covering that walls do before you paint them.

You're right! I thought he was using the basement tool to create it, but after rewatching he is definitely making a regular room on top of that hill and then the foundation just shows up. That would be heavenly if we could choose which building have foundation.

I'm hoping the next world will be a bit more bumpier, so that there will be natural hills that continue in and out of the lot borders.

Hey ... hey you ... Simmers ... Thanks for being so awesome! <3 <3 <3 <3

So we learned that they will add a fashion career, something I have asked for a while so yay! Then they said there will be the return of terrain tools, something builders have asked for a loooong time. Not really a builder but I'm happy for them. Another positive: It's all free! This might not seem like a lot but then I realized they said it was an early look and that they won't show everything there is in the patch in one episode, gotta keep teasing simmers (cars maybe?). Plus, there is another live stream on October 11, so hopefully they will reveal more content there.
