There's lots of new "stuff", like clothing, hairstyles,furniture, home objects, toys, etc. This is what is apparent at first.
There are tons of new actions and things to do. Children are given an imaginary friend at birth who stays with them until adulthood where then they can be turned into a real person. They have new toys like slip-n-slides, tress houses and sand-boxes that contain hidden treasures. They get to enjoy slumber parties and there are now bunk beds for them to sleep in. All ages of kids now also get to go on school field trips where they often earn skill points.
Teens are given a BOATLOAD of new things to do, from having parties while the parents are away, to picking fights and learning to drive a car. They can play pranks, and get in trouble by being grounded. When your teen wakes up in a bad mood, watch out! There's almost no telling what they will do, and are impossible to control. They may skip school, egg houses or any number of other rebellious actions.
Adults get to do all kinds of new things, like becoming a babysitter (daycare job), attend bachelor parties or go out stargazing. Going out on dates is now an option, they have all kinds of new places where they can "woo-hoo" and they develop a "reputation" when they go out into town now. If all the Sims in town know your married, and they spot you kissing a different Sim, the gossip will start. When Sims have a toddler they can no take them out for a stroll in a baby stroller and elder Sims now have canes to help them get along.
One of the best new features is the ability to customize how fast or slow all of your Sims age. You can set a different amount of days for each stage of a Sims life. So if you want to skip over the baby stage, but lengthen to toddler one you can. Want to remain a young adult Sim forever? No problem. Everything is customizable, at any time. You can also change your mind and alter it at anytime.
In your Sims lifetime rewards section there are also new options, like cloning a Sim, receiving an Inheritance, buying a hover-bed, a young-again potion and more.
These are just a few of all the awesome new things in the game. There is a lot spread out everywhere, so it will definitely take some time to find everything new this pack has to offer.
