I know this is just a first glance teaser, so my first impression opinion should be taken with a grain of salt, as I can be prone to changing my mind when I learn more.
First, I feel it important to mention that this pack is supposed to cost considerably more than previous EPs. (And the rest of EPs from here on out most likely will as well.) And we're not talking about a $5 or even $10 increase, but half the current EP cost increase. This is the price of an entire game pack. So I think it's fair to say my expectations will be elevated accordingly.
That said, I'm very unimpressed so far. Archery is the one really new thing that stands out so far and I am truly interested in that. The rest however, are, as others have pointed out, features that are either so similar to what we already have, or things that were unofficially "promised" in Lovestruck or other ads. And the clothing so far looks like 2014 Sims 4 base game generic. Bland and uninteresting. (And I have to question if this is going to be a thing now, to encourage the cost of kits.)
I am not against the team filling in the blanks of previous packs, if the content makes the gameplay a better experience. I am also not against a price increase if it means getting bigger and better EPs that actually feel like satisfying EPs.
What I would take issue with, however, is if this pack turns out Iike Businesses and Hobbies where we get one or two new things and the rest is just a revamp and smoothing out of past feature failures, or a few slapped together and poorly implemented ideas. *Cough*, Ailments, *cough*. That, for an additional $20 while the game continues to be overflowing with endless catastrophic bugs, and every screen and shopping cart screams in my face to give EA more money...that - is where a hard line needs to be drawn.
Anyway, we'll find out more very soon and hopefully I will change my skepticism. (Not about the bugs though, because we will no doubt be getting a ton more with the next patch. 😬)

As far as I can see this pack is just $40.00. I think I heard that the development for this ep was super expensive but the final product is priced just like any other ep. The pre-order is listed at $40.

I wonder if the price increase is regional then? I know there was an announcement about a price increase recently. (Unless they forgot to change it?)

There nothing been announce in a price increase.A leak said this was the most expensive expansion pack so far.Which probably the most expensive to develop.
