I didn't catch the stream on Thursday so I'm watching it now. I'm at around 1h40m in now and it's selling the pack much better than the trailer. I just said to a friend that it's a realy shame the trailer was so bad, because most people probably aren't going to buy it now, because they're not going to watch a +2h livestream and the trailer really didn't do the pack justice. So far I'm loving almost everything about the pack, the only thing that bugs me (and it isn't pack-specific) is that all those machines are so BIG. When I make fizzy drinks at home literally all I need is a stovetop and some bottles to put it in. The idea that you would need this gigantic machine for something so simple is just annoying. Same with the cupcake machine from a previous pack (was it Cool Kitchen Stuff? I'm not sure). Some hobbies/crafts really do require a bigger table, like woodworking of flower arranging, but others don't, and it's so annoying to get another bulky gigantic thing taking up more space than it should. By now, I need an entire house just for those skill items :anguished:
Edit: I have preordered the pack. The livestream really convinced me, and I am actually excited to get this pack. I am super interested to see how it affects the game, and all the new CAS and B&B items look amazing. So I give the livestream ALL the credit, and the creators of the trailers none, sorry to put it so bluntly. I'm sure they worked hard on those trailers, but it didn't show anything except some new items, which isn't enough to convince people to pay around 40whatevercurrency for an expansion pack.
