I mean... the whole Getaway system is great, I'll have fun playing with it. But it really feels like the other half of Businesses & No Hobbies. Also, we can make bakeries with Get to Work, this pack, B&H, and lowkey Home Chef Hustle. (And Dine Out restaurants can be made like one, though that's more of a stretch.) All with slight variations and improvements to how it's run, but overall the same concept. It really highlights how packs have been retreading and reheating old stuff.
Disappointed that the Imaginary Friends don't get anything special once they become human, like some residual magic or ability or an optional doll form. And they can't pass unique traits to their kids. Yeah, "Ohhh they get to be normal and real now!!" But let us have some fun with them too. You can still live a normal life while having cool ability you can choose to use whenever you want. Sims 3 already did this with their IFs.
"I bet I can win 3 Archery contest!" They had a grammatical error in the trailer. Which is like whatever, no big deal. It just bugs me. And also how the game will insist on capitalizing skills no matter the context, so you get awkward-looking sentences where you get Archery contest, instead of "Archery Contest" (like it's a formal name for the contest) or "archery contest." (Informal.) A lot of games do that, no shade to the developers or anything for this one. They just want to make things more clear. It's just a side tangent I have about Sims 4 and games in general. I know it's not an issue anyone but me has though, lol.
I do have a general concern about packs both sides: that they were meant to work with another or others but split up, or not meant to work with certain packs, and they jumble—barely or do not—work together.
Sometimes I see missed opportunities with cross pack compatibility possibilities, and I find is so disappointing and only hope for updates/patches to change/fix/addressed.
But if you believe that AA and B&H are two halves inflated with extra materials to be make two separate packs—hopefully they can come as a bundle pack at slight discount in the future (and maybe offer the LE items again in good faith). Otherwise, I might wait for both these packs to be at about 50% off before purchase, at least then I'd feel I have the intended impact of these two packs at about the same price/two for one type deal.
