Welcome to the first negative thread of the year. This is the place to post any criticism and concerns for the new pack. As usual, don't attack the Sims team or each other.

I do agree that a lot of items look good, but others are things we already have. Some tucked in polo-shirts and sweaters for men, which I approve of, a pair of pants that looks so 70s that I'm drooling, but then this: So you put a saxophone in the game - but display only????? When fans have been asking for more instruments since the dawn of time? Seriously?!? It's like the non-functioning phones, the magazines we cannot read and the gym weights that are just decor in Lovestruck. Stop giving us things that do not function, give us things with a function.

I just don't understand why we barely get any new animations (interactions or gameplay) in EPs now - this has been an ongoing problem since High School Years (to lesser and worse degrees, with the exception of Horse Ranch which I know was light on content but obviously took a lot of coding/animating), but since For Rent it has actually been terrible. They seem to be focusing more on systems and pop-ups than actual new animations, and being a long-time customer who regularly pays out a premium price tag for content, it's really not good. When comparing TS4 EPs (specifically the later ones) to EPs from previous iterations, it's a shocking contrast.

Kinda worried about the multi lot type feature 😬 I really hope this isn't more For Rent type issues coming our way

After watching the trailer several times, my reaction is severely underwhelmed.I saw pottery, and tattoo artistry. That was it. Where are the other hobbies? Obviously there may be more than the trailer showed off, but if the aim was to make me want to purchase this... They should have tried harder.Digital sketching? Already in base game.Bikes? Already got them. Crafting/selling table? We've got a dozen already. It's giving Get to Work 2.0. The Sims 4 My First Tattoo Stuff. I really hope there's more to this. I've wanted a hobbies pack for years, but I'm really not seeing many hobbies.

In all honesty I just don't really want new worlds anymore unless the whole pack is about the world (like world adventures or something)to me hobbies as theme just doesn't need world no matter how pretty I would have much rather had additional mini hobby or two in there

Another month another update. I think this is the month we get a new memory update to make the game run faster. As usual expect many fixes. I'm hoping the autonomous romance bug is fixed. Sims don't ...
