The Sims 4 - Dream Home Decorator GP

I don't understand... where's the gameplay? It's just building?

This must be the smallest anount of gameplay ever! My Sim makes a friendly introduction to the customer Sim, "Get to know" and takes a photo then it is straight into build mode

That's what I'd like to know. They put too much effort into creating these little stories than properly showing the features of the pack.
Unless that's really all there is to the pack in which case....how is it a gamepack?

That's how they pad out the lack of content. Distract players with the life story of a sim nobody cares about and will probably never actually see in their games. A story that, by the way, had zero to do with any of the pack's new "features" XD

It's good... compared to the Sims 4 standard. Like, it feels wrong to be negative about this because I know people will be like 'lighten up' or 'stop trying to find faults in everything'. Like, it's an OK pack..?

My points

• This is an entire pack clearly aimed at the young adult life stage. Sure you can play with an adult or elder, but it's clearly targeted towards the young adult stage. This is like the last stage we need to work on, seriously.
  
• A WHOLE game pack for ONE career? You KNOW this is going to get old quickly. Repetetive is the word for every active career so far in this game and I'm basing my expectations off of what we've seen so far in previous packs. It gets repetetive.
  
• I get that people like the sectional couches and more cabinets (which is kind of sad if you think about it, that the bar is THAT low), but this GAME pack seems so tiny. So... specialized. So focused on one single aspect.
  
• Once againn, instead of listening to the community and searching the web and the forums to learn what people have been asking for for literally 7 years, they go in their own direction. They disregard the community entirely and make other things that the game DOES NOT NEED RIGHT NOW. Adding piles and piles of fuel on a fire standing on damp logs. It's just... it feels... so cash grabby. So ignorant.
  
• This last point is literally just me being irritated by the trailer. Stop. Talking. The 'point of view' thing is super cringe, oh my gosh
  

Edit: Some spelling mistakes

I'd have been fine with a game pack that focuses on one career if the career wasn't something people have already been doing in the game since day 1. That's why the interior designer career was dumb in TS3, too. But at least that didn't come in a pack where it was the main selling point. I could look past it in that game. But this? The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am by this pack lol

$20 for "Build/Buy Mode: The Career"

I was hoping there would be more to this pack, but my instincts told me otherwise before I watched the reveal trailer. Heavy sigh. I miss the excitement of watching a reveal trailer and seeing something that makes me want new packs. And again that was the case this morning. The hype for a new pack has been lost somewhere along the line, and I doubt it will return any time soon. I called Sims4 a Barbie Dream House game in another post yesterday and I was right in believing that is exactly what has become of Sims4. What a shame. So much potential for new gameplay content and they create a pack with even more BB assets. There is no way I would pay twenty dollars for a pack like this. At least Nifty Knitting was different, introduced Plopsy, a ton of craftables and gave our Sims a way to connect with other Sims through teaching other Sims, even the kids, how to knit. I have CC that is so similar to what is in this GP there's no reason at all for me to purchase it. The new furniture in the pack looks nice, but I'm starving for new game play content. All the pretty stuff in this twenty dollar pack can't make up for that. :/

The voice over was SO cringy I can't rewatch the trailer. Seriously.

You probably missed JTB- but to be fair, JTB has more gameplay than this even though it sucks. :D

It's funny because it's true. The worst packs for TS4 always have dumb ass story trailers....with millennial baby talk voice overs, like Island Living, Snowy Escape and Journey to Your Butt.
