    Why did they even bother making that teaser :D
    Lol exactly my thoughts! It's very repetitive. What a let down. They should have just made a gif teaser since there was nothing significant in that

    I still think we'll get wether patched in before Cats and Dogs; and it's gonna be raining cats and dogs.

    No they won't :#

    You don't know that. We can just wait and see.

    Yes I know. They won't patch in seasons for free due to "budget" and even then...they will be horrendous Minecraft rain.

    I didn't say "seasons". I said "wether". Read "rain".
    People tend to use seasons and wether on here synonymously even though they are different concepts.

    Also, we got little to nothing patched in content this year. All that budget should have went into something.

    She said weather (aka rain), not seasons. :)

    Why would they solely patch rain? That's dumb

    EA give weather for free.... hahahahahahahahaha. Yeah, we know that won't happen. You can dream, but be prepared to be disappointed. Why would they give us any weather for free? That's so not gonna happen.

    Could say same reason they gave us toddlers for free so they could expand on it in another pack that we will actually buy because we have part of it and need more to make it work out well.

    No, you can't say the same at all. It is a life simulation, releasing a core life-stage as dlc is incomparable to extra dynamics to make the world more lively.

    I think there will be a free patch update with 'new' content in it, but other than that.. I wasn't expecting anything but Cats and Dogs. It's going to be 40 dollars. So - I think it's a good idea that we're not getting any other packs until 2018. Laundry Day stuff will possibly be released Jan-March; and I'm thinking.. possibly a new game pack will be released in January.

    I think some people on here are getting their hopes up way too high on Seasons. To patch in rain, I see as extremely unlikely. I'll gladly eat my own words if I end up being wrong, but if anything, we'll probably get the ability to swim in ponds and oceans or new instruments, burglars, or new roofs. But at the very least, I expect a few bug fixes.

    Quick point -- neither of them released the trailer, nor were they involved in its production in any way. They are not Maxis staff, but rather EA community forum management staff.

    I already know. What I just meant is it was released by EA and not some made up fan-trailer

    You know what? Cats & Dogs is a pretty BIG DEAL. Plus, there's the Gift-Giving Holiday coming the very next month. Kaching, kaching. And, for those who celebrate the New Year, depending on what they do, that can be expensive, too. Me? I get a very slight break, as I don't do New Year's Eve. I choose to go to bed at my normal time and try to get some sleep. That's if my neighbors don't get too wild with the fireworks, that is. It's still the new year when I get up in the morning, so I don't really miss anything. But, we do throw one heck of a Superbowl Party every year. So, my pocketbook is glad there's not something in this quarter. My copy of the EP is already paid for.

    I think we're all just a bit disappointed considering we got Vintage Glamour after City Living last year.

    There may still be some free content that they're not ready to reveal -- remember that the teaser in January didn't mention toddlers. Perhaps we get burglars and/or firefighters NPCs. Since animals can have fears, maybe Sims will as well which could mean a revamp of the whims system in some way, and patching in of traits like Brave and Cowardly.

    I have to admit, it is pretty disappointing. But hopefully, there will be enough content in Cats & Dogs that it's worth it. I'm just hoping Brindleton Bay isn't tinier than the other towns.

    I think because Christmas isn't the only gift-giving holiday in December, we also have Hanukkah which starts on the 12th and ends on the 20th of December and for some people there is Kwanzaa celebrated from the 26th to the 1st of January.

    Yeah, pretty pointless "quarterly trailer," it only showed Cats & Dogs, and they didn't even show anything new about the game either. We already knew all that information about Cats & Dogs before. Wasn't expecting much else, the holiday challenges are pointless, hopefully the pre-EP Patch has some good stuff!

    Are they letting the franchise die a slow death? Seriously EA, one EP and one stuff pack in 6 months?!

    We had parenthood at the end of May. Fitness stuff in June and Toddler stuff in August.

    I would love more EPs and less stuff packs but I hardly think the past six months have been slow content wise.

    On a general topic, I think people may have jumped the gun with regards to weather. I don't see EA patching it in for free.
    You got it confused he said 6 months as in July August Sep = 1 stuff pack, Oct Nov Dec = 1 expansion. So yes we are going 6 months with only a stuff pack and a expansion the content is coming in very slow.

    Also my stance on that. While it would be ''nice'', if they plan on Patching in Weather, they better go all out. Weather is more than just ''Rain''.

    If they decide to make a ''Seasons EP'' (and with the current release schedule in mind) we have to wait another year (past 4th anniversary....) for maybe Seasons to release. Yay aren't we all having so much fun?

    Hoping SP will release in January so we can get a Gamepack in Feb. Hoping for a Romance GP.

    Is Gift Giving confirmed? Haven't seen any confirmation on that.

    Cats&Dogs isn't small. Perhaps EA reckons that there just won't be enough money in people's pockets after they've shelled out for their computer upgrades and the EP. Also, they often have a new year sale. Why put a pack up for release a few days before it goes on sale?

    Besides, it doesn't mean the team has stopped working. maybe it's even take a pause now so they don't run out of completed packs.
    Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

    What makes it so bad is we're not getting any pack in October either. The January quarterly will be 2 weeks later cause of the holidays.
