As soon as I saw the name of this pack announced as "small businesses and hobbies" I went "uh oh". And sure enough as I feared the "hobbies" got a very short shrift. Sims 2 Freetime came with TEN new hobbies. We're getting ... pottery? Which is cool, I'm into that, but seriously that's all because tattooing is not in my opinion nor should it be a hobby. I would not get a tattoo from a hobbyist, I'm sorry. I'm disappointed there is no mention of sewing, I've been wanting that back since the Sims 3 debuted. I also fear the new system to have live in businesses, using as it does pretty much the exact same mechanic as For Rent, is going to be just as buggy as For Rent. I'm waiting to see more, but I don't think I'll be getting this pack anytime soon. Maybe on sale, if they fix the inevitable bugs. I'm more interested in this point at what's coming with the "Golden Years" kit. Maybe it'll be our first kit with gameplay since Bust the Dust and we'll get sewing then. I can hope.
Yeah, seeing the motherlode teaser with all the Simlish, I quickly determined that the hopes for sewing, clothing design, and/or mechanics game play pretty much flew out the window when I saw the kits' titles. Along with the fears of the meshing a home and business being like For Rent's apartment system, I wonder about the older packs that allow you to run businesses. Will Restaurants and Vet Clinics be affected? Will the system from this pack allow Simmers to make those into family and/or home businesses? 🤔
