Underwhelmed with the new expansion - I'm a builder

The sims team has all the editing power in the world... and they still can't make a public space look busy. This world is so incredibly empty, especially for a city that looks like it's supposed to be walkable. I mean, the residential lots csn be multi-use, but theres no foot traffic. This one shot makss it look like they took a single household there and forced them all to interact just to make it "lively."

Also, what's up with the base game bust becoming an item in this pack? The only difference is the sunglasses~ and I swear I saw the couch from the bowling pack and the chairs from the cozy bistro kit as well... I'm really hoping they aren't STILL reskinning items, they've caught so much heat for that in the past.

I'm underwhelmed. The world feels as empty as Eco Living and Parenthood, and the build/buy is a bit uninspiring for me. Dare I say that it's as dead as Mount Komorebi? I literally never see a single soul in that world. I saw a few things I want but as a builder I'm going to have a bit of a harder time constituting this buy. The gameplay seems fine though.
