After IG post, I think the interior design career will returns

I've said in the other thread, but I wonder if it's more general than interior design. That might be the new career, but the 'requests' in the post also point to creative hobbies, like fashion or painting. It might be a hobbies pack, but with a bit of focus on the new career for now just because that's easier to describe in previews.That said, they might go really hard on buildings. People have been talking about a new trait slot coming up - maybe it's a preference for what kind of home you want to live in? And if you buy the wrong one, or your interior designer gets your commission wrong, you end up really miserable living in a place you don't like.

For the first time in any iteration of the game I'm deeply disappointed with a pack. At the moment, there seems to be little that would be new in the gameplay. I just hope they change my mind on the 25th. Sorry, if that's a downer for those of your who wanted this.

If it's hobbies, that will be coolI'll admit I can't see myself ever using an Interior Design career. I don't use the Stylist Career at all either. I know what I like, and I know that what I like is rarely what's "on trend"But the Build Buy should be pretty neat and versitile.

So... interior design GP? | EA Forums

Ok, maybe the interior design career doesn't hype me a lot, but I'm only hoping for new skills and tools for build.

For example, pottery or sewing can be a thing to design courtains, carpets, decorative vessels or dishes, like in TS2 Freetime.

Also, build tools like ceiling painting, despite it can be added later as a BG update like Eco Lifestyle ladders. Just maybe... spiral staircases? Like ladders too, a BG update with a single model while the owners of the pack can have between 3 to 4 models.

This definitely seems like an interior design career. We don't know yet if that's all it will contain, so I don't want to complain too much yet. But if an interior design career is the only thing coming with the pack, I'll be unhappy. I don't believe this is a theme that should fill up a whole GP, unless it adds greatly to build/buy in general - painting ceilings, spiral staircases, beams etc.
I feel that interior design should be one of two or three careers added in an EP, alongside careers like fashion design and stylist. This isn't just bc I'm thinking of TS3 Ambitions, it's bc an interior design career adds next to no new gameplay - we can build houses already, now sims just get payed when we do it and we get checklists of requirements. It could easily be added to a pack almost as an after-thought. So what are they going to do with it to warrant an entire GP dedicated to it?
This isn't an Eco Living case. It was a bizarre theme for an EP, imo, but it still added quite a number of hobbies and homesteading options. It has more gameplay than Snowy Escape, for example. This pack is only advertised as being a career. Paranormal SP had a career with completely new gameplay in a SP, which has a much smaller budget than a GP.

I'd greatly appreciate love directed at builders in build mode, not just by adding furniture. I'm just very unsure about how it seems like it might be implemented. Quite a few simmers have been asking for a build pack for a few years, so it wouldn't be something no one wanted. Just... :confused:

Exactly what I was thinking. Just copying and pasting my post from another thread:

This is not really gameplay expanding.

I am disappointed. It's not a bad idea and I might get it, the idea is nice. But there are so many highly requested features and this just isn't it. I know some people now and then wished for an interior design career like we had in TS3 (this seems to be it). But most people had other requests: hobbies, cars, Generations, active school, bands, better babies, daycare career, werewolves, fairies, update on aliens, romance pack, the list goes on and on.

I don't understand why they just won't give us what we ask for, and I mean all of us. This is - AGAIN - something (almost) nobody asked for. I'd be even happier if it was an occult GP I wouldn't buy anyway because I know many people would have been really hyped. But this?

Another YA/A centered gamepack featuring something which is considered cool right now? Nah. Thinking about not buying it tbh. This game has got to a point where I just don't like it anymore because it doesn't support my playstyle.

Maybe the Interior Design career could be something similar to House Flipper. Where you find a house to buy and renovate it buy cleaning it, painting, doing flooring and all that jazz.

There are house flipper games out there, and they've been really popular for quite some time, so I fear you're right and this is just another "trendy" and "cool" YA/A single sim player centered pack.

I hope I'm wrong, but knowing TS4 I'm probably right.

You mean "manage worlds" -> "Build & Buy Mode"?

When Maxis does what the people want the game will be over. That is why Maxis is afraid and that is why he uses his safe cartridges only on some occasions. I hope they are Bands, although when the community begins to agree on something, it is generally true so I would not be surprised if they were right and it is an interior designer career. I don't like it, it's not what I expected. But new content is always welcome.

The game pack could probably be inspired from some of their Game Changers playing and praising that “Tenants” game.

Like I mentioned in another thread already:

I am Not too amazed by the initial hints pointing at the interior designer career. I am really curious what makes this a separate GamePack instead of a (side) feature of another pack.

I think this one will be incredibly niche again. Hopefully they will add more tools for building and decorating in general (hello, Create a Style?) But I think that (Create a Style) will be very unlikely.

I would love create a style!!
