Dream Decorator First Game Pack Announcement
This week's exciting news
The sims 4 announced a new career-themed game pack that is coming to Origin on June 1st 2021. Bring your inner interior designer out by embarking on a quest to create beautiful, aesthetically pleasing rooms for your clients.
Key Notes
Take Time To Get To Know Your Clients
It is important to spend time figuring out what your clients like and don't like. Asking them questions such as 'what's your favourite colour' will help you set sail on your decorating adventures, with the confidence of getting the colour scheme to their liking. Knowing what favourite furniture pieces they like, what hobbies they enjoy and finding out what most inspires them will help you build the bigger picture for your projects.
From The Sims 4 Website:
'Every interaction impacts your reputation, and if you want to move up to bigger gigs, that matters.'
They even state that making sure your sim showers before interacting with your clients would be a good idea.
Getting The Renovations Underway
Once on the job, you must make sure to listen to the client's requests. Make sure to stay within the budget available, don't do the opposite of what they asked for, consider the tile count, and consider the clients' preferences.
Fun Fact:
Some client requests can be a little quirky and bizarre, apparently, but it wouldn't be The Sims if it didn't pack a little fun flavour. Just buckle up for the crazy ride that may bestow you.
Budget Tip:
The Sims 4 team spoke of selling off the clients items to clear away space which also will help with your budget.
Get Decorating
Once you have cleared the space, play around with some new features the Sims Team have teased.
- modular shelving units
- sectional sofas
- built-in appliances like ovens and stovetops
Your job is to mix and match, explore an array of different options till you come up with a concept that is a unique showcase of your talents.
Will, Your Clients, Be Happy Or Unhappy- That Is The Question?
Once you have put the finishing touches on your rooms, you will be ready for 'THE BIG REVEAL'!
Invite your clients back to admire your work. Will you be greeted with enthusiastic approval or will your interior design skills be met with disgust?
What To Keep In Mind Before The Big Reveal
- Was the project within the budget?
- Did you keep the client's preferences in mind?
- Did you meet the task objective asked?
- Were you respectful and fun?
Your reputation will improve if your clients are happy. And a happy client means a happy bank balance, no doubt. Once your reputation increases, new gigs are unlocked.
Client Referrals Will Build Your Biz
It appears that client referrals will be the key to getting further in your career. The sims team spoke of promoting yourself on your blog and social media site plus being on the' home decorator channel!' - How exciting!
