TBH I didn't play TS1 Superstar, but all the equipment of the second pic is already included in GTW. Run a GTW photo studio and every Sim becomes your model.

I want my sims to BE models, not take photos of one.

Ditto.

Thirded.

Hmmm... I may be misremembering, but wasn’t there a thing said the stylist had a modeling branch? Or was I misinformed?

There's stylist and trend setter branches.

... I really hope there’s a hobbbies pack one day so that a few of my potential fashionistas can have a sewing machine to sew their creations.

I’m curious on how the branches work. I hope it’s not all computer stuff. (That’s boring to watch and is just re-using the same animations. Bleh.)

This pack is turning into Get Influence Expansion Pack.

Agreed, the Influencer and Acting career look like the only careers we're getting, and one of them is free anyway. Adding fame to other careers is nice, but it isn't a pass for leaving other careers out.

This looks to be a Game-Pack sized expansion, at Expansion-Pack prices.

Now I don't have a problem with carving things up to get quality. But I do have a problem with paying more for less.

Yeah...I don't get it though...is the acting career that big? It's a whole Expansion Pack about one career.... I really hope the fame system is very well done. I swear if they recycled the vampire perk system I'm gonna lose it.

Coming from Seasons it looks like a downgrade in terms of content. I hope the Fame system alone actually changes sims and adds to their animations.

@Sigzy05 Was the acting career ever fully active before? This one seems to be, from what we've seen so far. I didn't have Superstar, but I don't remember the Sims 3 version being active. It seems to me that what we've seen so far has more depth than previous. And since we know Sims 4 is running "years" to come (says SimGuruGrant), maybe those other careers can be given full development too, not squashed in.

Remember, everything in a trailer is carefully staged to show the very best of it. Since it's focused on the girl's acting career it's hard to tell what other people can do but the fashion career does look interesting. It looks like you can make people over too.

I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm also super-suspicious about the size of the pack compared to the price.

Still, I REALLY like how at the end of the trailer, she's staring across the skyline and remembering her journey to fame and she turns around like she's thinking the best part of this fame isn't fans or awards but her new great friends.

Remember that 'costumes' can be created by mixing and matching past items and clothes. It looks like we'll have to build our own sets. A LOT of the soap advert set has been recycled from previous packs. The children's tv set is packed with resized toys.

Indeed, from the looks of the trailer, it looks like a Game Pack. The Fame system, 1 world and 1 Career do not cost $40. That would be like if they sold Seasons with only Winter, Fall and the Calendar.

Yeah, I hope the fame system and the acting stuff is really well-done and fleshed out to make up for the loss of the other Superstar-like careers. :frowning:

I’m surprised something as mundane as modeling was not a thing. Sims 4 already has the photography stuff set in place so....yeah.

Thinking on it, I’m surprised that fashion career wasn’t a thing in the beginning of Sims 4–back when we had Luxury Party pack and the focus on the YA stages and such....

I’ll have to see how the movie stuff and the fame system works before deciding on whether to get this pack. (My birthday is in November, haha! :wink: )

Keep in mind, in the original 1 minute Seasons trailer, they showed all 4 Seasons. In this trailer, they only showed 1 Career. My guess is that is the only career we're getting. And unless it's extremely detailed, I'm not sold on it.

Yeah, if movie’s the only one, then I hope it’s detailed.

In Superstar, I had a Sim do both modeling and acting, so I’m hoping this pack has a detailed movie career to make up for not having more careers.

So far, it looks like it’s detailed because they do seem to have the backdrops, the green screen, and costumes, so I’m cautiously optimistic about it. I’ll wait for more info, though.
