Just one question to all of you simmers who were so pumped for this Star Wars pack: why?

I've got many, many ideas for this pack and I didn't even look at the quests.
I will figure them out myself. I never rush through stories or quests anyway. They usually run parallel to my own story and that's why they never feel repetitive to me. They're not the main thing. My own story is the main thing. And it will be epic! ;)

I didn't watch any reviews (never do until after I buy), instead I watch live streams. I'm aware that there won't be a live stream, but from what I've seen so far, I love the CAS, love BB, which will totally suit my play style. Jungle Adventures is one of my favorite packs, and I believe these will go well together. I'm very creative, so I will certainly buy this! I get if that's extremely hard to believe for some simmers. :D

Getting a phone call by Landgraab feels silly and I wonder if there's another way to get to the planet. Also I'm not happy about the land speeders being non-functional. But I expected it since we did not see them beyond idle in any of the trailers. These are no huge turn-offs for me though.
I understand I'll be taking a chance, especially when I refuse to watch full reviews. I only just checked out CAS in that Deli girl's video.
But I'm quite confident this will be right up my alley.

I hope those who asked for other things instead will get something soon. It's a shame to have to wait for so long and lose hope. But at least there are some players that are happy about it. I guess. ;)

Appreciate your reply. I'm glad you are looking forward to it. I've been trying to come up with some creative ways to integrate it into my own gameplay and, if I do get the back, I'll be creating a club of nerds who LARP their way through Batuu.

I'm just disappointed the pack appears to be like the RoM world where I ran out of actual things to "do." But, I can see where you are coming from in having your own story be the main thing. It could be great for that.

I tried playing through Strangerville's questline (I guess, ultimately, I did finish it because I fought the plant at the end), but I didn't enjoy the "collect 15 of this" type thing. At first, I thought it was fun in that I had to interview people and figure things out, but the reality of it wasn't that deep imo. It appears that the Star Wars quests will be the same/similar, so, for me, that is probably not going to be much "fun" (even without the spoilers). Maybe I'll be surprised? But, can I say, I end up hoping to be surprised far more often than I am?

I too love the Build/Buy items. Lots of potential there and, like you, I thought right away of pairing it with JA (I'd be building my own temples). Lots of potential there!

As a long-time Star Wars fan, I was both surprised and delighted to see the Star Wars costumes in the game when I first got TS4 back in 2016 (I waited to see how TS4 would develop as I hated the implementation of the sims' emotions being driven mostly by their environment vs. how TS2 and TS3 did it).

Now, with this new pack, having more of Star Wars in The Sims doesn't excite me nearly as much as seeing those costumes did years ago. For me, it is a "meh" pack overall. But it still could have been cool. And, unfortunately, I'm just not seeing much unless I want another Strangerville or RoM experience with Star Wars flavors.

I hope you share your experiences with the pack -- It'd be cool to see what you do with it.
