Played it for a bit last night but not for too long. Got a few levels in pottery. Has basic stuff at low levels and better items as you gain xp. Once you make the item, you can click on it to break it, glaze it, (Has a myriad of types to choose) Like the items and clothing though. Didn't try adding the retail area to my house but may try it this weekend. It's not a groundbreaking xpac, but it's not bad imho.
So far i'm enjoying it. Any new stuff to do for my sims is good in my book.
