I like the world, and the gameplay seems interesting. I really don't want to play as a landlord, but I do like the idea of multiple household residential lots. I loved that option in Sims 2 and have wanted it back ever since. I also tend to like the extra objects.
I'm holding off on pre-ordering though, or purchasing within the first ten days. Ever since we were forced to use the EA app, I've had a problem every single time when pre-ordering or purchasing a brand new expansion. The app does not recognize that I've bought the pack, and I'm unable to download the pack until it's fixed. Sometimes work arounds fix, other times I have to wait until a general fix. I end up spending a bunch of my time contacting EA Help, who are rarely any help at all. So instead of being excited for new releases, I'm anxious and apprehensive. I do not want to go through that again, you know? So I'm going to wait and see if people report whether or not the EA app is behaving, and then I'll buy the pack when it's hopefully safe to do so.
Hm, I don't like the app, but I never had problems installing new packs. If loading or preparing seems to freeze, I just quit the app, then go to Windows to "clean app cache", and after restarting the App, the install works fine. Did you try this?
Yep! Along with everything else the EA Help person or Answers HQ site suggested. Unfortunately I have had terrible luck with the EA app. What's weird is that it's only purchases of newly released content that it affects. If I buy something that has been out for a while it downloads immediately with no issues.
I forgot to add, I don't think it's an issue related to my computer. Whether I use my desktop or my laptop for that initial purchase and download, it's happened each time with newly released content.
