what are your rankings on Businesses & Hobbies features?

1: new lot type

2: running a business

3: build/buy

4: personality traits

5: aspirations

6: tattoo's options

7: the world

8: CAS

9: hobbies/skills

my top list is the new lot type because i've wanted this for a little while, i even made a post about this last year and created an another one last week and made an updated version of it and for me it's a dream coming true

and here's the following one why the second one is also the best because i've always wanted to run a business in the sims 4 and earn money without looking for a job, another dream that's coming true to me, you won't have to go to work to earn money, instead you can do this in your own lot it's only beneath your home and what makes it even better is that you can own a business in its other packs, NOT just "Businesses & Hobbies" pack (like running a disco, do bowling, coffee shop, owning a pet shop, a bar and maybe i'll use skills from other packs from then own or even more so than i used to, the options are endless, maybe i can sell food even more so that comes with "Home Chef Hustle" pack, the options are endless)

next up is build/buy mode because they looks quite different from the other packs in my opinion and it's literally my style too, i'm probably gonna use them once it's out

the fourth place is the personalities, i don't know much what it will do yet but Shady Sims and idealist Sims are like the complete opposite from each other and i live for opposite personalities, i'm probably gonna use them once it's out

the fifth rank are the aspirations, i like how it comes with aspirations since we really need it and based on the description on social media it looks promising to me but for now i rank it on the fifth place

next up is lots of tattoo's options, i don't use tatto's at all but maybe with a new skill i'll change my mind about this, especially since we can create our own

my seventh place is the new world...now don't get me wrong i love how it comes with a new world which isn't based on the USA instead it's based on Sweden and i live for non USA worlds but the world map looks so boring it's quite empty but when in live mode by so far it's not bad because i love the buildings and it's unique from other worlds (it does looks quite like Windenburg with a mix of San Sequoia when in map mode because in my opinion it looks quite alike, maybe it's differently when in live mode when the pack is out) for now i rank it quite low but europe is the reason it's not that extremely low so i can live with it

my second last is the CAS one and it's simply because it's just not my style, i do love some items that comes with it though and some hairs looks like from the basegame or other packs

but the worse one out of them all in my opinion is of course...hobbies/skills because i'd remove the tittle "hobbies" in the expansion pack alone, they could've gone with a better title like "Working Together" "Get To Business" "Get Busy" or "Work And Home" or something like that because there are really no hobbies in my opinion, the only skills we have is the candy, tattoo and pottery skills but i don't count these as skills but maybe it's just me

these are all my opinions, maybe your features ranks we've seen so far that comes with the pack is different from mine (which i respect it)

i've saw a topic with the positive side of the pack and the other with the negative side of the pack we've seen so far but i decided to do my rankings on how good or bad they are to me (i'm neutral with a world but the last 2 is just NOT my vibe, i like the rest of the rankings though)

maybe my ranks will be different just like i did with the previous Expansion Pack called "Life And Death" i wasn't so sure about Ravenwood untill i tried it out myself and now i can't live without it so maybe it will be different with Nordhaven once i play them myself

  • 1: new lot type

    2: running a business

    3: pottery

    4. The world 

    5. Aspirations 

    6. build/buy

    7. Cas

    8: personality traits

    9: tattoo's

    The lots and the businesses sound like a lot of fun with many possibilities. It all depends on how how buggy this part might be, let's hope the devs learned from for rent. The pottery looks great, I like that we can make functional objects. 

    Tattoos are not my thing. The new possibilities look great but I will try it only once. 

    The world , build buy and cash look OK. But we already got so much in the game at this point that I have no need for more of those, even if they look nice. 

    The gameplay trailer might mix this list up, it is not final.

    that's fine mine is also based from what i've saw and heard so far i'm most looking forward to😁😁👍

    1. Running a business
    2. New lot type
    3. Aspirations
    4. Pottery hobby
    5. Nordhaven
    6. CAS
    7. Build/Buy
    8. Tattoos

    Since we've only seen a bit of gameplay my list is based on which features I'm most looking forward to.

  • 1- New Hobbies- this is my primary buying motive

    2- The World- I'm always hyped for somewhere new to go

    3- Tattoos- I will probably use this feature frequently 

    4- bb- saw some stuff I liked in the trailer 

    5- CAS

    6 & 7- tied- personality and aspirations- need more info to decide this

    8- running a business 

    9- New lot type- this reminds me too much of for rent which essentially broke my save. I will probably avoid using the new lot type to avoid ruining my new save.

    I might wait for a sale on this one, just depends on if the new hobbies and world are worth paying for to have access to them now.  With no plans to use the new lot type I can't make it a buying motive.
