I truely cannot wait to make a chosen family tattoo shop story !!!
omgggggg what this is so growing with the audience lol i love it it’s so for adults now hahahaha
I'm happy with all of this, but still I was expecting more hobbies, and by that I mean sewing. I wanted sewing so bad
excited for this pack! and a little off topic, but i seriously appreciate the way kayla highlights text as she is reading it, makes it so much easier to follow!!
Oh……. Maybe now I can make an all inclusive apartment complex with shops on the first floor and apartments on the floors above. Each resident has a business so they only have to go down stairs to go to work… 6 apartments + 6 businesses would probably crash my game. LOL
Soon as I saw you could live above the business or wherever on the same lot, i thought of you. I couldn't wait to see your reaction video❤ I'm sooooo excited for this expansion pack!!❤❤
FINALLYY!!! I can create a working art gallery with the things I paint 😭😭 💙
I will forever hope they release a pack that allows for a fashion career. It would be amazing to be a a magazine editor and photograph and style models for cover photos then interview sims for articles.
Do you think you could use this to make a makeshift hotel? Like could you just have rooms with beds and charge sims by the hour to stay there, and they can sleep and stuff? I'm soooo excited by all of the possibilities!
Years ago I made a yoga studio with a sims apartment above it and now I can do it for real!! No more sims taking my yoga class stopping halfway through and not paying
Omgomgomg I haven't been this excited for a pack in a HOT minute but ahhhhhh I can't wait!!!
This is probably the most excited I’ve ever been about a pack!!!! My husband and I talk about when we retire opening a business in a building with an apartment above we can live in! Now I can live the dream in the sims!!
I can’t wait to make a nectar pottery wellness center
As much as I love this pack it should have been a get to work refresh……it's literally get to work just better
I love that we can set up a kiosk and charge an entrance fee or an hourly fee for our business. I just hope it works the other way around so if your sim decided to go to a public pool, they would be charged a fee. Having to pay money to visit and utilize a community lot makes sense.
Imagine burglars coming in your small business and stealing stuff!
Raccoons are classic representation of burglars too!
as much as i love pottery, her reaction to it was my exact reaction to tattooing! that’s such a dream job for me that i’m so glad i can have my sims do it now
My first thought: i can make a ballet studio with some of the mods i have when this pack some out!!!! Or puppy yoga classes!!!
sooo excited for this pack but sooo scared for how the gallery is going to work with the new multipurpose lots 😭 it’s already so hard to find what i want but i have heard rumors the new tattoo feature will come with a new gallery sort, i hope those eyes on the roadmap is just a whole gallery refresh
I think it’s ironic, I just got my first tattoo and the first thing I see directly after is a brand new sims tattoo shop and skill. Alright, time to make my tattoo artist sims.
System driven design! This is all really cool stuff – it's not pre-designed stuff that functions in isolation, it's a whole set of systems that let you do cool stuff in a creative way. This is some good stuff!
The emotion, the suddenly manly voice on 5:19 : "OOOOh it's gonna be so much BETTER" 😂
I feel like the trailer didn’t do this pack much justice, and that’s why people are mad! There is so much cool stuff that is only shown in the blog post.
My first Get To Work Stuff
i haven’t been this excited for a pack in years
Omg my birthday is sunday
I cant wait for this, I badly wanted this for years aswell. I cant wait for my sims to be able to live above their shop. Going to be so good.
As a life long simmer who runs a pottery studio irl I’m so so excited 🥹🥹🥹
With all the sneaky Raccoons everywhere I’m now more and more convinced that we’re getting Robbers during the 👀 event.
Jus when I thought EA wouldn`t be taking anymore of my money! And your nails look sooo cute Simsie!
I think the Mastery Perks must be something along the lines of the Celebrity gameplay, you choose whether you will have a good, neutral or bad perspective (?) in your business and then as you get better you get new skills and/or traits regarding that path. Does that make sense?
I'm not mad about the GTW similarities, I just hope that it's compatible with GTW retail stores, restaurants, and vet clinics. I want to be able to run a Dine Out restaurant from my house using the system from Dine Out, not cobbling together some random small business interactions to kinda make it work.
The fact that they didn't mention these three in their cross-pack compatibility section does worry me, but they also said that not everything is included in that list. So fingers crossed, the two systems can work together.
Kayla, the first time I watched the trailer reveal I felt excited, but then watching how emotional you got literally made me tear up LOL. I love your heart for the Sims. 🥹
Also, the part where you said it is a “knowledge transfer” near the end is I think the parents handing down the business to their child who grew up because the parents were elderly near the end. How cute for legacy challenges! Also, happy wedding week! Yeeeeeep! 🎉
I am so excited for this but this might be the most ambitious pack yet. I think this has the potential to become the most broken and buddy pack that we have. No way this is going to just work fine
Sims set the expectations so low. So now when they showed us something what a game should be… we are so excited to get it HAHAHAHA
it’s nice and all but for a businesses and HOBBIES pack where. are. the. hobbies!? 😭
I wanted skateboarding so bad 🙁
5:26 i just realized the sim farted 😭😭
Death by ink poisoning… if they didn’t make that they totally missed a pun death 😂😂😂
