New Pack! Is Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator a Good Idea for Gameplay?

What will The Sims 4's Dream Home Decorator Game Pack be like? Let's discuss based on information available and consider the strengths and weaknesses of this new DLC. Interior Design is something that could benefit the game, but it may not be for all players.

"You may enter into a poorly decorated area"
It's as if Maxis was planning for this pack since the game came out!

Would be nice if I had to visit my ugly old builds with sims living there like "we hate this, don't know who did this to us".

You are such an icon in the Sims community and I trust you more than anyone else. I’ve been relying on your content for I feel like almost a decade now

[sandy]

I’m just happy it’s not another fitness pack/ kits/ whatever is lower than that. Feels like EA is a secret meathead

[cgreene]

Are they selling us one aspect of a Sims 3 expansion as its own full-priced pack again? Because this looks exactly like the architecture design career from Ambitions.

[birdgirl]

I can already see my Sims just lagging and standing around never finishing a job and getting bad reviews because some timer ran out 🙄

[digitalbrinjen]

Definitely would love see real estate bought into Sims 4 and the ability to own more than one property. After all, it's at least insinuated the Landgraab's own several.

Considering in my 10, 000+ hours playing the Sims 3, I never played the Architectural Design career, you can probably guess how interested I am in this pack. I sincerely hope it is well implemented because if it isn't, it is going to be just as fun as chasing a client all over the map was in the Sims 3. Yeah, that's why I never did the Architectural Design career.

[VoodooPuppies]

They better not randomize the favorites. I don't want to have a client that's a goth sim I made and she's requesting a pink room or something

[Alister]

One thing that this pack COULD do (but will it?) is make Sims' personalities and preferences affect their opinions/ moods of various environments you build for them. The sim likes red? The sim likes technology? Build lots of red and technology into their house to make them happier. Instead of doing the same thing every time, you'd have to strategically think about what would be best for different sims. And from a roleplay point of view, it would encourage you to put yourself in your sims' heads. Also, balancing the likes and needs of different sims would become an interesting challenge.

So they're trying to get builders to actually play the game.
Hope this works, so that more people start experiencing the actual game beyond character and house creation, maybe then the gameplay will get more of a spotlight in future updates

[britty]

Thank you for mentioning real estate! It's one of the many many things I wish they brought over from Sims 3.

[krys]

If the gameplay was actually like these freaking trailers, I would be excited.🤷🏾‍♀️

[andpeggy]

So excited to see what you have to say!! You're one of the few people I see publicly criticizing the gameplay.

[sneakydeekie]

I really hope that they’ve managed to tie the careers into game progression or at least a bit of logic. For example, maybe they should be able to tell that a NPC family has a new baby or toddler but no room, furniture or objects for them, thus when they call up the designer the first job should be a room for them.

It makes sense to me at least to link that on. I have always hated going to a sims house and finding all adults in children’s rooms or a bachelor pad with one bedroom and a full house of kids.

[BondhanClanner]

Simmers : Damn thats not band...
Sims Team : But you can mess up with someone house... Probably
Simmers : Thats, hermano, is a good answer

[Harpeia]

As an actual interior designer, I can feel the clients from hell unironically buying into the kitchen pool idea...

[Uueerly]

It’s sad that for a life simulator, the best feature it has is its building simulation. Wow, says a lot about the game

[lovesmusic]

I also wonder if story progression might get updated for this, to help with having new rooms/lots to renovate/decorate. In the trailer it was about Iggy aging up, but maybe it could be a new spouse, etc. too. But yeah, so far, I am not entirely convinced this will have enough game play to warrant it being a *game* pack. I am interested to learn more about the pack though!

Tbh it looks really interesting but at the same time I don’t want to raise my expectations for it just in case
