We were on a long road trip so I'm having a tough time catching up with all the news. Today I finally had a chance to watch the guru live stream from Friday from start to finish. Wow. I did not expect to see so much new gameplay in this pack. The new additions to the phtography skill are impressive. Very impressive, and quite intriguing as I had all but given up on being able to take nice photos of my Sims and their families. The only disappointment is the three Sim limit in what is considered a group photo. But at least there is a way to include the pets. Can't have everything, I guess. But I'll be waiting to see if a mod comes out for that in the future. The different poses and camera angles will help to keep every shot different. Which is nice. The new B/B stuff looks good too. Love the windows and I can see myself using those a lot in my builds. After seeing everything except the new CAS items, I have to say this pack is worth the ten dollar price tag even without the Moschino clothing.
After reading the patch notes, I was glad to see they made a real effort to fix the game. If I update my game I will be able to get rid of a couple mods which is always a good thing for me. But as far as buying this pack on Tuesday? Still on the fence about that. I'll wait a week before I decide. I want to see what everyone says about new bugs before I take the plunge even though the teams did ease my concerns about buying this pack. I wanted bug fixes, new gameplay, new animations and not a lot of rehashed content. So I was quite happy with what I saw in the live stream. And I can't help but think about all the new possibilities for photo ops set against a gorgeous sunset in Sulani. I know every Sim in my game will have a new camera and tripod in their inventory if I buy this pack. My Sim homes will be filled with photos of toddlers, pets, kids, teens....we will actually have a very cool way to create memories of each member in our households now. So I am keeping my fingers crossed this new pack doesn't come with a lot of bugs. After seeing everything it has to offer that will add to my enjoyment of the the game, I really want to buy it now.
