I think it is so lovely. I played a family of two sisters, hanging out and partying with eachother, and one got the 'adoring' sentiment towards the other; it really was adorable. And that they are not reciprocal makes it more interesting to interact with other sims and makes their relations a little more dynamic.
I have tried out the plattforms, and read about them, and I think I will have a lot of fun with them in almost every build, they seem very versatile.
I'm testing a new save, and a new sim living in Mount Komorebi. The Hot Pot is such a good way of gathering sims for a social meal, I've longed for this. And the scenery is beautiful of course, everything in the game is. I like all the BB objects, the shower looks so homey, the fire places so real, and the cat calligraphy makes me want to giggle whether I do it or not. The furniture's stream lined simplicity goes well with my scandinavian inclination for light wood and clean lines..
I really like that the world, besides what I can build on the editable lots, is so full of activities and interactive objects. And the trait Proper has created good immersion so far, I want my sims to be polite and correct and not always just silly.
