Sims Businesses and Hobbies Expansion Pack Negative thread.
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.

Hm... well, seeing the trailer and knowing what the kits are going for in terms of theme... I'm glad I remained wary. So far, the pack feels like it is lacking or should have been separated into pieces. If the business system added, the room designation and the three hobbies is all that this pack is made of, GTW should have been fixed and the business store system should have been added to it. The three hobbies probably could have been a Game Pack. The mixed lots... I'm not hoping much on that line.
In note of mixed lots, I think it would be interesting if they could do a basic system like that in general. As long as it is a proper room, you'd be able to label it. I've thought this often when it comes to Willow Creek's Library with its "kids' area". Here I see Alexander Goth come in and play in the adult area. Then I see Geoffrey Landgraab head to the kids' room to sit down at a desk. Why?
I've also thought this in just house builds. If this room could be designated as a kitchen, this one as the dinning room, this one as the living room and this one as the bedroom... Would my Sims navigate better? Would they do kitchen things only in the room that is specifically identified as the kitchen? Would they finally eat only in the dining room if they can identify it as a dining room? Will visiting Sims stop automatically going into my Sims' bedrooms to use their things if they realize it is a bedroom?
If not that, doors or signs that can influence/route Sims. I thought this at times with Dine Out. "This door is obviously meant for the cook and staff of a restaurant. I wish it automatically came with the ability to allow only employees in and out, or at least be able to click on it and make it that way." Doesn't High School years have a door or a desk that only the Principal can use? Isn't there a yoga mat in Spa Day that only teachers can use? Snowy Escape has those signs that can make your Sims remove their shoes. Make some items that work like that. "Kids Only", "Adults Only", "Employees Only", "Boss Only", "No Infants/Toddlers", " No Dogs", "No Cats", "No Horses"...
