Ok so as that is the teaser for the whole upcoming quarter, not just the backyard SP, then it must have clues for an EP as well
has to be weather I guess
Glad to know how you are wasting OUR money on lame stuff literally nobody asked for. Two years of this, I'm sick of it. Can't even give us an actual teaser, just a stupid gif
I'm kinda disappointed. I feel this could have probably been combined with perfect patio. But EA. I really wish someone would buy out EA and fix the mess they've caused with TS4
In defense (and mind you, I'm disappointed that this looks like all we're getting for the next 3 months), they've clearly advanced in design skill since the early days. Just look at the detail in Dine Out (latest GP) compared to Outdoor Retreat (first GP), or the colorful content of Kids Room next to the base game kids furniture set. This gives them a chance to expand on the theme, without taking up space in a GP or EP that could be used for something else. Plus, Perfect Patio was more geared to adults (despite the fact that kids could use the hot tubs); what if there's something that's really suitable for all ages (and including pregnant Sims who can't use the hot tubs)? Something like a basketball hoop, or maybe a treehouse that's a Woohoo location when the kids aren't around (similar to the one in Sims 3 Generations).

Perhaps they shoot themselves in the foot with the emotions and now the costs for animations are going through the ceiling. Let's hope that for Backyard a lounge chair is in the budget.
They said lounge chairs ars too much animation for an SP

It leaves me wondering is something wrong over at Maxis when we can't even get two EPs in one year?
They laid off too many people, so now they are dealing with the consequences so it seems.
It's much easier to grab the cash with stuff packs, since they are easier to create instead of EP's. SO it seems they are going for that route instead. But whatever.
I guess they think the community is too needy. >.>
While you may be disappointed with the teaser I'm going to ask that you don't push a false narrative. We haven't laid anyone off and no one has said that the "community is too needy".
Additionally, each type of pack has a different team, SPs are smaller bits of content while GPs / EPs are bigger pieces of content.
If you didn't expect serious backlash from this teaser, then maybe you need a whole new marketing team. Because 32 pages of comments in an hour or two, 75% of which are negative, that should be a major hint that something just isn't working.

Hopefully we can get more Content Packs presumably Expansion Packs and Game Packs
So you choose not to disclose whether toddlers are being worked on?
Whether we're getting something to help with no space in worlds? All of my neighborhoods are bursting to capacity, what am I supposed to do? Is there a solution in the works?
No one tells you what to do so I'm asking if you can answer me those questions to give me some peace of mind, because I shouldn't have to be deleting sims and having multiple families live in one lot because there is no space.
Ya I think their solution to that issue was culling.
Also if the new expansion is a Seasons type of expansion...it will probably be one season at a time...summer first and then keep milking us for the other three seasons...

No that's why I said: ''I guess''. It's my opinion, it's what I think.
And didn't the Salt Lake studio get closed a few years ago? Wasn't that another studio with a team making EP's? I am not making that up.
I think I'm about ready to start giving my $10 stuff pack purchases to Guild Wars 2 for gems instead
I'll probably be putting in a few more hundred hours on Stardew Valley especially when ConcernedApe (the developer) finally rolls out the 1.1 update (two new marriage candidates, more end-game content including new crops and farm buildings).

I'm officially done with the Sims 4! I'm glad I stopped buying content after romantic garden. What in the world are they doing with the money we give them?!

you also forgot to mention that outdoor retreat has a world destination
This is just clear evidence that they are much more concerned with how to maximize profits with the smallest amount of content possible. Instead of listening to what fans want. People can say $10 is a good deal, but when there's three of them you're paying more than you would for one GP with less features. This is just pathetic.
Bungie created an engine for Destiny that according to Kotaku is a mess. Maybe the same thing happened with TS4?
That is what some people have been speculating about TS4. We believe that the engine is not capable of certain things (yet?) or it doesn't support the tech they would need to do certain things. It's probably a well optimized engine but not very flexible and easy to work with.
yeah, they couldn't add a neighbourhood to an existing world, so we have Magnolia Promenade
I actually like Magnolia Promenade -- it's now my entertainment district with a bar, a lounge, a nightclub/disco and a restaurant. Good place for Sims to head out on the town.

Is he talking about the same one though or the April teaser? Only this one specifically states 'new stuff pack' and features absolutely nothing new apart from the lemonade. Unless we're supposed to take hints from the baby that wants a rattle and the guy that's talking about a bird. But then if this was upcoming content I'm sure it would be a little more obvious than it is.
But @SimGuruDrake confirmed this is the Quarterly Teaser...
I'm talking about the Tweet where Graham says that this teaser teases the whole quarter and not JUST the SP. Either he's trolling or there's stuff in this teaser that we're not seeing. When a teaser says 'new stuff pack' I don't expect it to feature anything more than that.
I find it hilarious that people are so mad over content that we really don't know anything about. lol I will wait until there is more info out.
I don't think that is what it is. People keep saying TS4 has so much potential. Well, the year is about over it's more than half gone. This is the seventh month in the year for this calendar year. People are getting real tired of waiting for the meat to be served. We have the salad, we even got some dessert, but where is the meat? One EP maybe if you are lucky this year. To me considering TS4 starts it's third year in two months when it's second year ends that potential is waning fast. Especially, considering you are lucky to get three EPs in three years.

I was talking more about the design -- even Spa Day was miles beyond Outdoor Retreat when it comes to Build/Buy features. I think Outdoor Retreat was mainly a reason for them to introduce theion days feature -- what's the point of vacation days if you have nowhere to go? I do wish they'd expand more on the travel theme and give us more destinations -- a beach resort, perhaps, or maybe some sort of cultural-inspired theme, similar to what we had in Sims 2 Bon Voyage or Sims 3 World Adventures. I'd love to travel to an Asian inspired world to learn martial arts, for example, then come home and teach other Sims.

Just a render. They used naked babies in diapers before. It's all fake marketing staging.

Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.

"STUFF. PACK. NUMBER. EIGHT"
That is more than enough reason to get mad.
