No bands in Get Famous?

Bands and music should definitely be well-done and get a lot of detail. However, it doesn't mean it should get its own pack. It could easily fit into a Fame pack. We don't know much about the new pack yet and still have to see its features, but I can't imagine that the whole EP would only include a fame system, acting, whatever the heck an "influencer" career is and a new world.

I would have thought singers&bands would be the next, if not the first thing people think of when it comes to 'getting famous'. Seems like a pretty massive thing to leave out.

Nothing is for certain yet, but usually when a feature isn't mentioned, it's because it's not there. Unless they've learned from previous EPs.

I've only been seeing acting as a definite career here so far, plus I'm used to being disappointed with expansions.

There was nothing in the Origin description about anything other than acting. But, we'll see.

It also says as an influencer....

That word is getting overused already in the game; first Style Influencer, now what? Media...Influencer? Way too much 'influencing' if you ask me. Not everyone cares about those Kardashian types.

If the acting career is done well and is available for more than just young adult and up I will accept bands being left out, the influencer career sounds very much like you tube/instagram and while there’s nothing wrong with that and is relevant in today’s world it sounds a lot like the social media career. Is the influencer career the free career mentioned in last weeks stream?

I agree when I think of fame I do think of musicians, bands and singers. But I also think to bring bands back we would need a better variety of instruments like an electric guitar, drums and it would be nice to have some other instruments that perhaps we haven’t had.

If they're meaning the same influencer career that's going to be free, then why would they mention it in a paid content pack? It has to be something else. So that would make it two careers already with Influencer shoved in its name. Apparently the Social Media career in CL wasn't enough to shove even more social media into the game. And still no laptops!

:/ We can already buy Mega mansions, what is new about that?

"Influencer' career is probably going to be another thing added to the Sim PC. Oh great, more computer uses for this game.

I’m not sure. It’s a question for the inevitable live stream. I don’t really like the idea of shoving more social media fame into the game either. I think it’s a sign of the times.

You're right, there isn't anything new about that, especially since we can always plop one down from the Gallery that's worth 1 million+ simoleons. The only thing I could think of in what they mean would be that these mega-mansions in what I presume to be a new world(!) are on larger lots bigger than 64x64.

Or more lots in this new world that we can't demolish like the one the ghost couple lives in WB? I don't like to be controlled like that, if they can't be bulldozed and have to use cheats to edit. :(
