Journey to Batuu is a serious swing and miss, which is a real pity, because I was excited about SW sims pack and the idea had so much potential to be at real hit. It should have been a much more expansive pack to reward sims 4 players with proper full live in it, build in it, play in it and interact with other players in it. It fails on almost all levels and then when coming home to the main sims game, there are little to no SW functionalities left, meaning your souvenirs are mostly decorative. Sure I cluttered my backyard with it all, but still needed the main game's modernatities to fill food and hygiene needs as the batuu pack had none of that. I agree with some other reviewers, that everyone who spent money on this pack should be refunded and ea should make the pack free for everyone, seeing as this pack needs some serious work. I would at least have hoped that EA would have bothered to update and add new features to the pack to make it worth it for new players as the pack remains purchasable on steam. Great idea to add SW, but epic fail on most everything else. I would have gotten a refund, if I had not been stuck wasting all that time on Batuu, only to find out it was a complete and utter let down. Yes, you actually need to waste all that time, to be sure you did not accidentally miss anything actually cool or fun, just in case there was something worth doing there. I watched plenty of videos and read reviews and none of it prepared me for how crappy it turned out to be. I figured that as someone who likes both sims and SW it couldn't be all bad and was worth a try, sadly, it really was not. If I could have at least interactively got to build my lightsaber, got to wield it manually and built and had an independent acting pet like droid that needed no follow-me activation to follow me, that would have been something at least. Lost count of how often it was forgotten somewhere and had to be reactivated or redeployed from storage. Like many others, I was really looking forward to live and build in the pack. Who would not as it is a sims SW after all. This unfortunately really is just another vacation destination with everything ready to go and nothing much for you to do, except visit it like it was Batuu at a Disney park, but with a rebel and first order threatening in certain areas and scoundrels in the mix as neutral between the two. Also, back when I fist played, there was no toilet or shower facilities in the rebel camp nor in the first order one, so I had to try an followed where my sim ran off to sleep, alleviate itself an shower as there was nothing listed. Eventually I got the hang of taking care of the sim's needs while on batuu. At least there could have been some kind of walking into a building and finding the restroom or bed, instead of the sim disappearing into a building and the needs bar or clock showing that something was happening. So wish EA would have gotten it right and it would have been fun to play, unfortunately I found myself wasting copious amounts of time dealing with my sim's needs in the main center, instead of quickly getting through the rebel and first order missions, just so I could unlock the clothes and go home. What most players want at the end of the day is to unlock all the clothes, get the lightsaber and kyber crystal of their choice and their semi-custom built droid, so they can go home and never return. Once you have everything you could possibly purchase or unlock from Batuu, which unfortunately is not much, there really is nothing left worth doing. I only returned once or twice to see if anything had been fixed or updated and then quickly left again.
