I agree seeing pre-mades from older packs and worlds running around The Realm is weird. And the fact the teams gave their Sims magical abilities before we even started to play the pack is just wrong. I always delete the pre-mades when I start a new save but a lot of players don't. I am probably wrong, but didn't the gurus say we wouldn't see this during their live stream? I understand the teams' reasoning for creating the Sages so they are available to teach our Sims the ways of magic, and adding two families/households with some skills in their respective crafts, but they went off the rails a bit when they randomly assigned magical abilities to pre-mades in my opinion. In doing that they took away some of a player's control over who has magical abilities, and how many one might want in the game.
The new world of Glimmerbrook and the B/B assets are very nice, and I am looking forward to using them. But I think I am going to wait to buy it. The new animations are nicely done, but the gameplay itself looks a bit shallow and too easy. I was hoping there might be more complex gameplay in this pack, but it just doesn't seem to be there. Again. Thank you @AlbaWaterhouse for taking the time to post your lovely pics and writing your review. And the new kitchen counters and lack of cabinets are a big disappointment for me, as well as the other Game Changers I have watched today.
