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"

They are holding back so they can sell anything that did not make the cut as an Kit. :D

I hope the preferences/likes&dislikes feature is similar to that of the Sims 3 with colour, music and favourite food options and isn’t just a furniture/decor related thing. I will be really disappointed if it’s just about decor. It’s really the only thing so far that interests me in the pack so for them to fail on that to will be just sad.

Sims can already declare some preferences in the game, so hopefully it won't be just a decor related update.

But what if the preference system comes with a base game update and then a furniture/style preference comes with the pack? I'd like to hope so at least

A pack about interior design yet I don't see a spiral staircase anywhere in the trailer. Hmmm....another build item we've been waiting for and it was left out. And I don't have my hopes pinned to it being in the pre pack update either. What a disappointment. :/

I wish there were curved walls to go along with the curved sectional.

I don’t get excited for items.

We have Curved Decks, upon which can be placed curved fences. I don't see why curved walls can't be come up with.

In essence this gamepack is about one very common complaint about the game if the player is a builder or is at least downloading stuff from gallery - NPC houses are BORING. So they are trying to make some use of admittedly good build mode to allow play to fix this problem AND to get something out of it. All good and well, except it doesn't do much for players who don't build but DO download from gallery and it raises a very simple question - if you are already a builder then why would spend time building and decoration houses for NPC Sims if you can do so for yourself.

I'm not a builder (as in that's not all I do in the game) but I definitely like to remodel/renovate houses and decorate them how I want.

For me, this pack forces me to actually "play" the game more while also keeping me interested by giving me goals and a budget to stay within. It's different than just freely decorating to decorate. I have a tendency to decorate in the same color pallet and almost always using the same style of furnitue in each house I make over, so if the "client" is asking for a color or decor style I don't normally use, that gets me out of my usual comfort zone to see what creative thing I can come up that still visually appeals to me, as the player, as well as adhering to the client's demands.

There's also a reputation system that comes with it, so of course I will strive to climb the reputation ladder higher.

But, that's just my own personal take on why I love the idea of this pack.
