How do you think this new free career we’re getting is gonna tie in with the new pack? Since it’s partially active I wonder if we’d be able to style celebs and maybe even work on set. Although, that questions why it wasn’t apart of Get Famous in the first place so who knows.

Because it was an idea and addition made by the team that does the Free content. You do not have to have the EP - it is fully self contained and in the patch coming regardless of whether or not you have the ep. It was not designed for an ep and does not need the ep at all in any way. You can just have the base game and it will work as designed - as all the free content works.

That didn’t answer my question at all. I know what free content is and how it works.

@Dannydanbo Also I didn’t ask why we were getting it.

My question was “How do you think it’ll tie in with the EP”. Didn’t say it needed the EP, was designed for the EP, etc.

I think they were both responding to the second part of your post, why it wasn't included in the expansion.

I think it might of originally been meant to be a part of the EP since your sim is able to start fashion trends and for me that seems like something that would work in combination with fame. It could be that since it didn't get finished in time for the EP the engagement team picked it up. Now even though both this career and the EP are releasing around the same time doesn't mean the EP couldn't of had an earlier deadline to meet.

I guess it will tie in the way you want it too.. Not sure if our stylists will work on the set for some reason I think probably not. I'm sure they could dress celebs though.. sounds like you need to advance in career or skills and the stylist won't always have acceptance.
It would be a nice way to set clothing trends your game. I might have my stylist encourage trends the stars are wearing .. or even counteract it.
I actually want to make a "famous" stylist. I have an idea of how he is going to be already (looks and personality). I'm assuming that his work/media presence as he gets better at it will bring some fame and I'll have him mingle (or hook up) with the right type(s) to get him higher Fame wise. Not sure how I'll handle the reputation bit though.. have to see how that works... I wonder if he gets a bad rep if people will reject his fashion advise. I hope not..

I feel like the Stylist career will be something like "Town-Sims are walking around in terrible outfits" (they don't exactly need to reprogram the game for that) "If you're in the Stylist career you will be able to walk up to them and offer them a makeover and it'll be a coin-flip on whether they like it. If they do, you get paid."

That's actually the minimum but it's also pretty easy to put together and so it could well go into base game.

I don't know. It could be hugely in depth. One idea is that as you increase in rank you start getting calls from people to do it and of course more money. In Get Famous you might start getting calls from celebs.

I think something similar - that it was meant to be part of the EP but is being released in the patch. But I think the reason it's being patched in is because it's an in-game way to control what townies wear.

That second part was just a statement and not an actual question I was asking. Like a “thinking out loud” sort of thing.

This would be awesome to get calls from Celebs to dress them for an event they need to go to once you reach a certain level in the career or a certain level of fame or reputation.

I'm hoping that we can place the wardrobe pedietal and make-up station in a shop and be the stylist or customer. I'd also like to place them in my superstars house for red carpet events.

I love this idea ?
