Moschino - went from "never buying" to buy next week lol...

I hated everything about this pack at first, I'm not a fan of the clothes at all. I KINDA like the hairstyles in the trailer and I figured the new career was just a cheap knock off from Get to Work.

Then I watched the stream and was rather surprised how different this career is from past photography career - and I actually REALLY like the build items (and their colors) more then I expected. As well as the new hairs.

This would be a situation where I judged (and fairly) a product based on advertising and its selling point "Moschino" and discovered the rest of the content to be so much better then its "main' selling feature (the fashion brand).

If this pack was just new clothing, I'd never buy it - but as theres a lot more then Moschino in the Moschino stuff pack I want...

Go figure.

  • I went from a hard no (because I thought it was going to be mostly CAS focused and I don't do CAS) to hmmm, I think I want this. Just not at full price. I like doing modern builds and a lot of the build/buy will work nicely with that.
  • I bought it and am currently fixing to see what it’s all about. I’m actually excited to play it!
  • I felt the same way, but instead of never, I thought I would wait for a sale. I never waited for a sale on Sims3 discs, but on Sims4, I have once or twice. I thought this would be the same, but was very happy that they were adding new interactions and an update on a career "in a stuff pack!". I have never liked buying stuff packs, because I didn't like spending $10 on sparse amount of clothing and stuff. I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of things, interactions, and play for a stuff pack and at the same price. I loved being able to use angles. I love the 3 picture frame. The backdrops were really nice. Ability to photograph 3 Sims was neat. In Sims3, the festival allowed a family picture with infant, so that limit is the one downside for large family players. They can do one with parents and one with 3 kids. Waiting to actually look at everything up close tonight, but for a stuff pack, it's really nice. I'd rather have what we are getting than pay $10 for the pack minus the job, interactions, and gameplay. It makes me feel hopeful for future stuff packs.
  • I actually like the ouftits better than I expected, those pants look pretty good on my sim, as does the black swatch of the leather vest. (might have to put the more colorful version on his boyfriend ;-) )
    I had Scott take their twin toddlers to a photo studio where he took some pictures of them, which was cool. The kids sure seemed to enjoy it.
    My only problem seems to be that I can't put any of the pictures in the larger frame of the collage frame.
  • I completely understand the title of this thread. When I first heard about this pack, I was convinced I would never buy it. I have no interest in the clothing, that hasn't changed. But the BB and photography options look great. So I will definitely get it. But probably at a sale or in a bundle.
  • I agree. Eerybody thought it was lame at first, but when you set aside the Moschino partnership and look at it as a "fashion stuff pack" it's pretty great. Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate it and I wish all stuff packs were as loaded with stuff as this one. I don't see how photography can sustain much gameplay by itself, but it's a nice filler to make the game feel more complete in the long run. (Sims 3 photography was the absolute best skill ever and I can't get over the downgrade TS4 feels in comparison, but this update is a step in the right direction at least :( )
  • Well I was on board from the beginning and am absolutely pleased with my purchase. @Netzspannung has already posted some fashion outfits and I can't wait to see more. ?

  • I will buy it because of the photography, now the photos of my Sims will seem more real and the fact that they can pose with toddlers thrilled me. I also like a lot of the build buy objects and the furniture. I was skeptical at first, but after watching the live stream, yes I will buy it.
