A bit of praise and rant here.

I'll start with the praises first: 1) The world itself. I liked the steampunk/horror/gothic theming. The world seemed to be way darker than any other world I've seen.

2) New clothings. I have to say, I have a thing in mind with gothic dress.

And the rant: 1) The business content. Seriously? Most store content seems to be flawed for the most part, and I'm afraid it'll be the same with this one. Looking at the interactions, it seems to be the same thing with the flawed business oven. Basically you'd have to set everything to get everything working, even if you don't own the lot.

2) Returning Sims 2 characters (in this case Olive Specter and Nervous Subject). Seriously though, I've been feeling that the store team is trying to release more Sims 2 characters (usually younger version of them) in store worlds, telling them that they moved to the world back in the day for whatever reason, to use as a selling point ($$$). It's sad.

3) The price. 24 bucks for the standard world and $42 for the gold. It's overpriced like any other store world. Sigh. I could wait and pre-order myself the last EP for that $42. And I get way more than that.

4) Character Descriptions. Seriously, in recent store worlds, most of bio for sims were something like this: "The men/woman/etc. of (insert store world here) were (insert random stuff here)." This is actually very lazy IMO and I'm afraid it'll be the same with this world. Unless someone can prove me wrong.

In short, I like the world itself and the clothing, but dislike for the business content/returning Sims 2 characters and (perhaps) character descriptions. I'm still looking forward to this world, however.
