About the BG update:

Science baby!!! Epic! I will really look forward to this feature. It would have solved so many predicaments in my stories, but now I'll be able to. Thanks, Devs!

I'm still neutral about the infants, but I will enjoy playing them for the first time. The new stuff looks cute (yay for the new bassinets).

But I'm afraid that the next patch will break the whole game, and that they won't fix the supernatural speed (Vampires & Werewolves) that the Devs broken in November :s

About the EP:

I liked some items like the Treehouse, the family photos and the water features.

The stream was all about talking, and talking and talking but not showing the gameplay. I only saw notifications, and so far the milestones look like badges (no gameplay at all). Sorry now I feel that the EP is not for me because:

-The devs never said if they took the occults into account for the gameplay.

-Thanks to how the devs showed the new lot type I feel it is like a simplified Arts Center (from City living). I already play with the beautiful Arts Center lot.

-The world is a let down: I expected at least ONE urban neighborhood. The residential neighborhood is not customizable even if I demolish the premade houses. It is full of fake houses of the same style. I did not see anything special or new at the world (or maybe the devs did not show everything because they keep talking and talking and talking).

-I feel the new system will be like Wants and Fears, Lifestyles, "Story Progession" and that compulsive "Best friends" from HS (that I did not bought because of this, it is the only one that do not have an OFF choice) : bad tunned features that destroys the already achieved personalities of my sims.

-I saw that the OLD toddlers issues were not fixed.

Maybe all this is a perception of the livestream... I will see how the EP works for other players ;)

Sim guru Morgan tweeted that occult toddlers are more likely to get certain quirks so they have thought about cross pack integration. Hopefully it will be well implemented ?
