What do you think of Get Famous?

Now while I cannot say I didn't plum with delight upon seeing it, some things worry me.

1: Flashy as it is, the only career on view seems to be Acting, working up that career ladder. There's no directing or stunts or singing shown in the trailer. I can't wait to Get Famous, but I also feel like they're carving up the Celebrity ladder. That could make things highly fleshed out, like Vampires, but it could also make things pretty expensive.

2: It's awfully soon since Seasons. Does that mean this pack was rushed? Or is it a GP in EP clothing?

3: Does that mean EA will be using it as an opportunity to hold stuff back from this pack for future Stuff Packs?

If it was a GP, we would likely not be getting a new world. At least not one as big as this world (I think I heard the name is Del Sol Valley) appears to be.

We don't know when they started working on this -- there was the reorganization earlier this year, so maybe a lot of people were shifted to working on EPs as EA rethought their priorities. And while most of the marketing is focusing on the new Acting career, Fame is going to impact all the existing careers. We already have musicians with the Entertainer career from base game, and if you have CL you can sing with your instrument (guitar or piano). Fame is likely going to revitalize the Entertainer tracks and make them more of a factor. The only thing I can think of that might be missing from this pack are bands, and maybe they figure those would fit in with something like a University pack better, then if you have Get Famous you can incorporate college bands into the Fame system.
