New freelancer careers, new content
A very nice live stream! I liked all new objects and especially the the new male clothes. The careers remind me of TS3 self-employed jobs.

I really love the new freelancer careers (I’m a freelancer myself) and I really, really hope they will expand them in the future with:
- Photography (photography)
- Catering (cooking)
- Something with Handiness
- Interior Styling (really want this!)
I really wish they had gone for one of these options. I think the idea of freelance careers are very nice but there are so many other options they could have done instead of repeating careers we already have.
The freelance careers they added have the advantage of being able to be submitted digitally -- kind of hard to send macaroni and cheese through the computer. :p Perhaps they can figure out a way for non-digital works to be submitted.
Wouldn't need to be complicated at all. A freelance caterer could simply prepare the ordered delivery, then add those servings to a crate that could be left outside the door to be picked up by the customer. Either some uniformed delivery sim could actually pick it up, or the crate could simply vanish. If going the less realistic way, the servings could be put in the mailbox, as a "symbolic" final action.
For non-digital submissions you could also have a 2 part system:Make/collect craftable/collectible Deliver to sim
The deliver part could be done by travelling to the sim's house (gigs would have to be from housed sims only) or event location (deliver a wedding cake to the venue etc), or by inviting the client over to collect the finished product. They could also improve the mail system in game so we can send things to sims that way.
We can already send items through the mail -- sending crystals etc. for analysis, licensing music etc. so possibly just tweaking the mailbox could work. Delivering food to a Sim would have the extra time pressure of getting it to the requester befor the food spoils to give an added challenge, and the delivery method could use the animation from gift-giving in Seasons (maybe just a plain package rather than the frully box). Maybe we'll see an expansion in a future patch.
