Glitz and Glam Update Teaser

[playsims]

Too soon. I thought I spent a lot of LP on the xylophone hobby. Finger painting was even worse. I got only half of the medals on the last 24 hours, very unusual from previous experiences. I had to alternate between speeding & spinning before time runs out. Speeding was not so effective this time. I need a rest from these time-limited hobbies!
I prefer furniture over clothing. I dont often change clothes on my Sims.
I also want to spend time to renovate.

[HordePrime]

I agree with those people asking for more furniture. This is one aspect of the game that hasn't really chanced much since the beginning. Sure, we've had occasional fancy new items unlocked after quests and whatnot, but very little meat and potato stuff like chairs, beds, tables etc. I am bored of the existing options and I don't like how most houses now tend to look the same. I want more items available in more colours and more sizes (and of course, they really need to increase the object cap otherwise there's no point).

I am also sick of everything being timed. I haven't actually played the game much since the basement/balcony update; I never updated to Baby Steps and haven't even done the camping stuff yet. I just can't face it; putting a timer on it makes it a chore - it simply isn't fun. You get locked into a stressful, repetitive cycle and after a while, you forget why you're even doing it - you can't see the forest for the trees. I really don't understand why they think time limits are a good idea; as far as I am concerned they definitely are not. I would have much more incentive to play if I could just go at my own pace and not have to worry about such things. In fact, I remember being much happier back in the old days before all the quests and the mystery box thing started.

So if this update involves more of the same, then I probably won't be bothering. There's been an influx of new locations in the past couple of years, but none of them hold much interest once the novelty wears off. The arcade, the restaurant, the shopping mall, the carnival, the castle... I never go to any of them unless I am forced to for a goal or quest. They should do more with the locations that we already have rather than constantly create new ones.

Teaser for the upcoming update is out → https://youtu.be/hGvwhPmyCuI

There are more stores coming in the mall, or more cleaning coming I guess With the new stores opening there are more outfits too.

More outfits!.jpg

And I guess there are a new career and a new hobby. Anyway, to me this looks more interesting than Baby Steps

I'm super geeked!!

HordePrime,

I agree with you 110%!! IMO, time limited request "seem" like a way for EA to boost sales...forcing players to spend real money for LPs and SPs to complete quests to get limited items.

Um ok on new update but what I'm still wondering about is some kind of color scheme update which I thought was coming out. Anyone else see that at one time on FB?

[bittergrapes]

I'm just updating so I can get my FB friends

It doesn't look like they fixed it. On my test game which is an Android device I still only have 26 neighbors.

[telemwill]

I can't get excited, although I would like all the items. If they come with time limited hobbies though, I'm sick of those.

[SusiQ]

The teaser looks nice, but I'm not very excited, I'm still worn out from the baby steps update. While new clothe are fun, I'd also rather have some new affordable home items.
