New stylist career

I'm glad that it's coming out for free :P nah but I actually want to play it, even though the most attractive thing about it (given what we've seen so far) is the sketch tablet.

What about the other part of fashion; modeling? Where's the modeling? Is it really just about styling sims instead of being the icon of style yourself?

DAT DRAWING TABLET THO.

Yayyyyyy! This is so cool!
Personally, even if I don't use certain careers, I'm always happy to have additional options. The more careers, the better :smile: And being a stylist can be really fun, if you build more atmosphere around it for yourself. As an example: I can make a stylist sim that starts off small, trying to make connections with important (rich) sims and working on a small scale by blogging and giving friends make-overs. Then, as she starts to make a name for herself, she moves to the city and befriends style icons. She frequents fancy lounges and nightclubs to meet more sims and showcase her fashion. Eventually she's a celebrity living the dream.

Of course, we don't have a celebrity system as of yet and this would be made more fun with bands and such. I'd like systems to give certain venues (like lounges and certain bars) a high-end atmosphere. Right now, most lots have the same atmosphere to me, if that makes sense. I don't feel "Oooh I'm in a park!" or "I'm in a sleazy bar" or "This lounge makes me feel like Marilyn Monroe." The builds themselves give off great atmosphere, but I'd like if the sims' reactions/interactions/something make the venues feel more significant. Like, give me a reason to go out to club instead of just throwing a house party.
Incorporating live bands, celebrities like fashion icons, singers, actors etc. and a sense of VIP really adds a lot to the atmosphere of the game. A stylist career is certainly a step in the right direction :smile:

And: SKETCH PAD!

It's not a career I was hoping for but I'll take it. I'm bored of the other careers.

This career is nothing I was hoping for or really appeals to me but it is welcomed nevertheless. I bet I'll find some sims in my rotation willing to work in the fashion field.

It's always nice to get new jobs since I feel that we have way too little to choose from at the moment. But I wish we would get more normal jobs. I'm not much of a fan of these active careers.

I was doing it anyway at my sim's clothing boutique and the wardrobe closest, but it's nice to have it as an official career.
It should offer me much more flexibility because now I can choose to have her work at home, at her business, or at the off-screen rabbit hole.

With the active careers, you do have the option of sending your sims to work, though. So you aren't stuck having to do the 'work at home' stuff (or go to the hospital, etc.). Personally I like the active careers but I sometimes need a break and send my sims to work in the rabbit hole.

I'm all for new careers, and while I'll admit I was hoping for more (maybe for this to be an active career a la detective/scientist) I'm a little excited for it. I always thought the Fashion District in City Living was missing its own career (Spice Market has culinary, Arts Quarter has artist/music, and Uptown has politician/business). It probably won't be something I'll use all the time, but I do have a few fashion-forward sims this would be perfect for! I didn't like that the social media career was either gaming-focused or public relations. Wish there would have been an option for something akin to beauty blogger (I have an unhealthy obsession with makeup tutorials lol) so this will fit the bill nicely.
