Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly about this game pack.
The Good- They have FINALLY brought back the sectional sofa! After playing The Sims with a sectional sofa it was ALMOST impossible to play it without them! I LOVE to decorate so this pack seemed right up my alley and for the build items alone it is great!
The sorta good- I find the decorator career to be really fun some of the time, but sometimes you give the client exactly what they want based on the 3 or 4 prompts and they don't like it. For example, a family hired me to makeover their kids room. I interviewed them and they said Dislikes yellow, Dislikes White, Likes Fitness, Likes Fitness. I find the one room with a kids bed and assumed it was the kids room. I made the walls gray and black (not yellow or white) I added black furniture, a punching bag and lockers with some sports themed stuff on the walls. I was incredibly frustrated when they didn't like it. I felt like it didn't make any sense!
The Bad and Ugly- At the end of a job they give you the option to host a viewing where you show off the remodel and ask what they think and it gives your prompts for things you have to ask them but it NEVER works. If you choose to show them them the room you will NOT be paid and you will not even be able to go home so effectively the game gets frozen here and you cannot save your progress. This sucks but I've learned to not show off the house. I have also never got a promotion even though I was excellent in reputation and performance. I have had to cheat my promotions because it is broken.
So my overall thoughts are that I NEED this pack for the furniture and I got it on sale so I am relatively happy but if you want it to work well in the career without cheats then you better pass on this one. If you don't mind cheating your promotions and you aren't worried about never showing off the house to your clients then you will probably enjoy this game. I'm mixed on recommending it because I love my sectional sofa and I do enjoy the career but its fundamentally broken and doesn't seem to be getting a fix anytime soon!
