I really don't like this world which is disappointing because usually the world is something I get really excited about. The residential area is far to controlling. I'm essentially locked into that build style. Why is the woohoo hotel in the residential area? 

The penthouses are small lots and there are no apartments. 

Why no new festivals?

Part of cas is awesome and part of it is genuinely terrible. I shudder to think what kind of craziness my townies will be wearing if I buy this pack. 

There should be more gameplay objects for an expansion pack.

I feel like I'd be paying $40 for an attraction system as that's the only part of this I'm really interested in.

Oh okay interesting. I'm hoping that includes those activities since those are broad. I saw some gameplay reviews where some social interactions & activities are like very specific so it didn't always count as finishing a goal, so i'm not sure. I'm really hoping there's some surprises for cross-pack, like maybe holding hands at the dinner table/restaurant table or getting to propose at restaurants like from TS2, but I am not holding out much hope for those details haha.

Too bad we can’t make up our own turn on and turn offs.  If we don’t use the standard ones we should just not be able to uploaded the people to the gallery, and then it won’t affect othe peoples games.

Uuuuuuugh! No Occult turn-ons? For real?! Do they not even know about the whole communities of vampire fetishists? 

Like, how cool would it have been to be able to make a Werewolf who preferred Vampires, or vice versa? The whole forbidden love story, and all that. It's so frustrating, are they just relying on AI now to decide game features? 

This is so disappointing. If they're not leaving out Occult players, they're leaving out rotational players (of which I am both.) So bummed. 😞

I don’t mind the cart button, but it shouldn’t flash….. that is visually disturbing….

I'm kind of bummed we didn't get the heart shaped hot tub, walking holding hands or arm and arm like I get the sims can cloud and star gaze however they already could do that now they can sitting down some couples do it anonymously that I've seen others play and it's however it would be more looking at them anonymously walking hand and hand arm and arm but I guess the game mechanics said nah fam lol. 

Lately I've been feeling like expansion packs have been extremely disappointing. For me, I think that GRO was the last pack that I felt was a pack I couldn't play without. It has so many small things that just add to the game. I've always wanted a customized tree-house.. where you'd build it and even better.. build it together. Kids learning how to ride a bike, losing a tooth, tooth fairy, family dynamics, the puzzles, etc.

While I am very excited about the relationship dynamics because I think that they did really well with the family dynamics.. it does feel a little.. copy/paste. However, I'm still intrigued about it and look forward to seeing how relationships work now and how Sims will behave. I'm also looking forward to the new interactions/skill. Turn ons and Offs.. are great and I'm looking forward to them, but I wish they'd stop ignoring occults. I also wish they would have added more and color of clothing is rather pointless and I more than likely won't be using it.

I think what I am really disappointed about with this pack is that they missed the opportunity to finally add double-dating, I thought for sure, we'd get a new system like that that we've never gotten before in previous iterations of this game.... but they disappointed.

Instead, you can bring one Sim along.. like either as best friend date.. or third wheeling. Which is great and all... but where's the double dating? Where's the ability to call/text for an SOS? (I mean another Sim calling them to sos to get them out of the date. I know that the Sim can pretend call or something like that, from the trailer..) Where's the consequences of said dates.. I wanted a system that would allow for the dates to be "rated"... leading to either a good date, a great date, or a stale date, or bad date.. kind of thing. 

And depending on how things were going, let's say, it went badly.. where is the animations of a bad date? They're not vibing, then maybe the other Sim is bored, or not finding things too interesting from the other Sim.. or the other Sim said something awful.. so what would they do? Throw their drink at them, or pour it on their head, etc. do something. : (

They're so afraid to add consequences to this game... while of course, I want the happily ever after. They could easily add the Sims quirkiness to it.. without it being "too much". 

And I'm tired of these lists. "Talk about x this many times". Do this x amount of times. 

where  are the activities ? The moment I saw that the Gym was a place to go on a date.. I knew that there would be nothing new. Why is there nothing new to do on a date.. just going to a gym and talking/working out? Why is there no new REAL festivals? You know with actual things to do.  While I like the food stalls and gift shops/souvenirs, it's not fun adding them to festivals and nothing else.  How about mini games and prizes? Carnival games would have been great here! It makes me miss Sims 3 soooo badly. Yet, there's so many systems in Sims 4 that I love and I absolutely love the toddler and infant stages in Sims 4 too much as well as the calendar to go back to Sims 3. : (

I am a family player.. and find so many of these new systems that we've not really had before in the other games.. essential for my game-play.. yes.. they do need some quality of life updates/tweaks. But I still enjoy them, or at least the idea of them and that makes it so difficult to go back to Sims 3 + it's optimization isn't the best.. and I'm having graphical issues for some reason so I had to uninstall it. 

WHERE is the kissing booth!??!? This would have been PERFECT. Sigh. I'm so bummed about this. 

The festivals in Sims 4 are so boring and it's one of my favorite features that I wish they would fix and EXPAND upon and they missed the nail entirely.

Yeah disappointed I can't make my sims find vladdy daddys hissing hot :< or have them yearning to find themselves in Gregs fluffy fur or to have them especially interested in sims with magic...abilities.

I agree with inclusion but as it is a single player game who's going to know if you don't want your sim to date a sim with a beard or hairy back or lots of tats or a particular body type/weight or who have pink eyes or a gap between their front teeth or mono-brow. You should be able to play your own way. 

Do you get to choose to date occults or is that something that is not selectable? 

I just saw a video explaining the romantic boundaries thing and I didn't like it, I think it will prove to be super annoying and where I'll be cheating it away and doing damage control constantly. I hope I can turn that part off.
