This looks decent, except for a lot of reused animation and some of the features we've seen have been sold separately in many different packs.

[@captaintoshirohitsugaya3822]

Honestly the reuse of older features is a double edged sword yes it would be nice to have new features and items instead but it also let's you save money on and or improve other packs for example this adds elements of outdoor retreat spa day and arguably fitness stuff (tents hot springs and rock climbing)

[@dheanabila2162]

Isn't DLC supposed to be bringing you new experience though? buying the same thing twice in a different setting have become pretty distasteful in TS4 in my opinion.

There's a feature that wasn't mentioned and that is, Sims finally have the option to remove shoes when entering the house. It's a welcoming new feature because I don't like the feeling of Sims walking around in shoes while inside the house or napping on the bed with the dirty shoes still on. Now it looks so much more sanitary when Sims remove shoes when entering the house and keep the socks on even when napping. I certainly do wish that there could be an small update on shoe removal when entering the house for both The Sims FreePlay and The Sims Mobile

Am I the only one that thinks its pretty stupid to add this much chopstick variation?

They could allocate the time and resources they spend on minor details for something better...

[@frenchbreadstupidity7054]

Or at least let me give Princess Cordelia solid gold utensils...

[@vikkisims6364]

There are surely a lot of stuff to improve... but this might mean a lot to people who do eat with chopsticks every single day, and they missed that little feature. Or to people that like making sims from different cultures, and small changes in their behaviour and animation to better differentiate them from others. Besides... the only new thing they added was an option to change your sim’s eating animations. The animation already existed. This one didn’t need a lot of resources but it can have a great effect on many people’s gameplay, so I think it was worth it. But honestly right now we have things of higher priority... like making the game actually playable for all users and not releasing patches that absolutely slaughter the game... (sorry - had to)

Am I the only one that think that it is too "hard" to die in the sims 4? Like my sens never die by accident. If they die, I expected and was looking for it or they die from old age. Like you need to get injured but a vending machine 3x to die, it is way too easy to avoid. Maybe if, sims die after being injured one but you have like 5% to get crushed by it the game would be very more interesting.
