Thoughts on Strangerville Gameplay (SPOILERS)

I think we did get some sand box play. We got a new world which is similar to the others, large for the standards of a stuff pack. We got a new military career, though I would have rather had it be an active career ( I like them, and I think it is fun getting to the top of them, and the science career came with so many useful things). Or at least more rewards items that would have been useful to make our own military lot, like the sparring machine. Although this lot came with some great building tools, I would have liked to see more in the way of useful objects. A laptop was a good object, but wish we would have gotten something like a pool table that had interactions to make money off of people with not as much pool skill, or something like that. Or, some new useful plants other than the bizarre fruit. I thought the plane wreck lot was cute, but I wish we could have been able to change the lab after being successful in the Quest.
