I love the new career, it adds lots of small gameplay interactions and I enjoy these a lot (I can't wait to see sims wearing my designs).
It pays so much though. I like to play the {young adults, without a care in the world} bracket the most - earning from 30 to 60§ per hour- and not many levels of the new career fit that. Only one actually.
A lot of cool interactions are unlocked at higher level anyway, so that's good, but my level 7 trend setter is already earning 205§/hour which makes her fall into my {filthy rich, never even heard of the word budget} bracket and I don't know how to play Those.
