Count me in - I'm on vacation :) Just noticed the new pack announcement, but my internet is so poor I doubt I can watch that video...

Why are we getting another DLC when theres still so many bugs need fixing?
I dont understand why you cant take some time out from making dlcs and get the bugs fixed. Youd think if you got rid of the backlog of bugs youd be able to manage future dlc bugs easier.
The bugs in for rent and the bug that stops career progression has stopped me from wanting to jump back in.
There are different people working on different things. Like a team on kits, probably a few for expansion packs, one for bug fixes etc. So aswell as producing another expansion pack, there is another team focusing on bug fixes getting ready for the next patch. I agree that I dont think they haven't been focusing on the large amounts of bugs in FR and should invest more time and people into bugs especially those is FR.
Hope this answers your question.

I wonder whether it's too much to hope for a game of Sardines (a variant of hide & seek with only one person hiding and everyone else seeking)...

A few things I noticed:
- Bed and breakfast is already a special venue and can be easily selected. Hotel and motel are not.
- There does seem to be a variety of things to do, similar to clubs.
- I really love that there is a senior living community option.
- Archery does unfortunately seem to be only for kids.
- The imaginary friends dolls are creepy.
- I do like how many new activities there seem to be.
- 13 lots is not bad, but not great either. There does seem to be a lot of empty space between each lot.
Some questions I still have:
- When I choose 1 night stays, does that mean I cannot elect to stay there for more nights if I want? Or is it like vacation rentals, I rent them one day at the time with a fixed rent?
- Can you live and run a custom venue from your house (as you can with small businesses), or own and run it like retail venues, or is it just a community lot?
- Can you work at a custom venue and play it as an active career, or is it just NPCs?
- Can you use the slides for the playgrounds over pools (to create more options for pool slides and water parks)?
- Eating was an activity, and you could hire a cook (I think), but would you be able to use it to run restaurants?
- How will a custom venue work with say bars, espressobars and stalls - will they generate an NPC? Or will I hire that role? Will that role be able to use the objects properly?
- Is there a way to charge money, or to be charged money, to go to a getaway (similar to vacation rentals?)
- Do you have to set a specific schedule? They showed one with only one activity, but does that mean that everyone has to do that activity at that time? Could you set activity options without setting a time?

Just FYI, both the Blog posts and the FAQ on the Discord clarify that all four new skills are available for both children and adults.
Thats an earthquake caused by the geyser.
I hope the custom stuff works like Businesses and Hobbies and not like Wedding Stories.

I read in a blog that Archewry can be used by all ages freom Child to Elder.
I'm so happy we can stay for just one night. I play on rotation, and I think only a few of my sims exploring the new pack will stay longer than 1 night. I never spend say a full week with the same household. When on vacation to Granite Falls and Selvadorada (I assume those lots function like vacational rentals) when time os up, I normally get the option to extend my stay. Might be just one more night, though. I don't quite see why runaway retreats should be different.
- How will a custom venue work with say bars, espressobars and stalls - will they generate an NPC? Or will I hire that role? Will that role be able to use the objects properly?
My understanding is that when we plan a runaway stay, we will choose the management. I think that if the lot has a bar, we might also choose a bartender. If we have a sim with the cam managwement career (?), I guess s/he will appear on that list to pick from. So - on a low end computer, I guess it's unwise to add 100 objects that needs to be served, it might slow down things a bit. Need to learn more about what new activities require staff, I assume the Arcvhery might, especially if it's a child camp, but it would make sense if the camp manager will serve those activites...

I am very excited for this pack! I was excited before, but seeing the bake-off competition in the trailer (one of my favorite shows), makes it even more fun! There are so many things as well that I think I will be able to incorporate into existing worlds.
