Seeking Creatives? GP 10 Dream Home Decorator

An interior design career doesn't seem like it would mesh well with rotational saves. Played sims should not ever autonomously commission an interior architect. I also don't like giving the game so much control over any sim in the game to decide for them how (or even if) they want their home redecorated.

I hope they throw in a return of favorite colors as a basegame update - the new slot in CAS? *fingers crossed*

And now that I think about it, where will the money from for these renovations?

If a family for example has $200 in household funds, are they going to call my Sim for a renovation with a budget all of a sudden of $4000? Are they going to magically get money? Or will you only get calls from families who actually have that amount of money? Otherwise, it sounds ridiculous.

Well, sims with no money can come and buy your ridiculously priced flower arrangements, so I guess it will be random money, or maybe based on a value of a lot.
Indeed hope it won't affect played families though.

There are a lot of potential problems with an interior designer pack if the jobs are randomly generated, so it will be interesting to see what their solution to that is. It sounds like you could easily end up destroying your sims lots.

Maybe the changes you make will not actually be saved on their lots.

I'd rather get Batuu to be honest

But I'm glad that some of you will get some use out of it.

*ahem*

Spoiler

You should get Batuu! It’s great! ?

After getting Batuu, I find I use a lot of the objects in my builds now. The lights are awesome, rustic and industrial. There are a pair of shoes that I keep using...I agree, get the pack. It's pretty nice just for the stuff. I have yet to actually visit Batuu, but I'll get there when I eventually have someone roll that aspiration.

I actually have considered it... if for nothing more than the clutter items and a few of the CAS items. I'm not much into Star Wars, but the pack does introduce some pretty nice items. Plus, from my understanding... Sabaac is kind of like gambling in a way?

Oh, it's a lot like gambling, actually. You can even cheat. >:)

And the CAS is one of the best if you like to be creative with making Sims. It's one of my top favorite collections. The B/B too. Absolutely stellar. (See what I did there? Ha!)

Seriously, just go with Batuu.

A refresher on TS3 architect career may shed some light on how it might be done.

I'm just hoping we get the drafting table back.

It depends how it's done.

If you manually choose your clients and offer to renovate their bedroom etc, or it's gig style and it lists what the job is (Nursery, Kitchen etc) and who it's for, then you could decide who to work for or ignore based on that household's personality/finances etc.

If it's just one job generated at a time or you can't choose who to work for, that would be bad. You'd likely miss a lot of jobs and lose performance from quitting or cancelling.

Nice! It's not a band/singing game pack but I am sure lots of people will love it! Builders especially!
Although I am scared for my Sims clients, my building skills are worst than you may imagine :p

In sorry if I'm being dumb, the YouTube link to a video that premiers tomorrow, would that be an actual trailer, or just a teaser?

I don't usually follow the hype around the releases, so I'm not sure how it's usually done.

Thank you all for the input. I'll probably grab it on sale since it's not top priority, but you guys are talking me into giving it a shot at least. and not just completely overlooking it. :)

Now that I think about it, I can probably even use some of the actual SW inspired costumes as cosplay for my Sims at GeekCon. Since realistically you would find people dressed as Star Wars characters at a Comic Con anyway.
