1) The Premium Content is nice, but doesn't fit into the theme at all. It looks as if they wanted to shut up the masses about the business stuff by adding something completely unrelated to the horror-gothic theme, and explaining it with a backstory of "eternal teenagers". e.e When the PC was revealed months ago, I thought it could be a Californian world with malls and stuff, especially since their studio is in California and some things were hinting at it... well, it's better than horror!

2) As usual, it's way overpriced and the Gold version costs more than an EP. It has 114 objects in the Standard edition, but half are redone plants from the base game and the others are weird stuff like railroad tracks or something. The rest is Gothic stuff, like there isn't enough dark stuff in the Store. The PC register has no new animations.

3) Judging by the Premium Content description page, it seems that it borrows a lot of aspects from the Industrial Oven. I wonder if it will turn out like the oven... half-done.

4) Gold version (at the moment) doesn't seem to have any premium content, though I'm pretty sure that they didn't announced it and that I'm wrong. Maybe the PC is something that has actually to do with the world.

5) The town seems small, Harry Potter-like and it's horror 'look' is mostly made out of rabbit holes.

6) They actually admitted to making the horror stuff from Movie Stuff and this world match.

7) The Specters are returning... That's really annoying, with returning of the families; it messes up the backstories and generally just makes the story boring. "Oh, this and this family didn't like it in [insert Sims 2 neighborhood here], so they moved to [insert Store world here]./ Before moving to [Sims 2 neighborhood], they lived in [Store world]" (for the rest of their lives, lol - remember the Pleasants on their life-long honeymon in Sunlit Tides).
