Hi all! I was really unimpressed by the Sims Summit but very happy with news of babies coming! I am so excited. This is something that's been high on my list for years now. So we've been told to expect them early next year. I had a dream last night they were dropped January 3rd

Woke up and checked the calender and it does indeed fall on a Tuesday, which we know is usually patch day. Did I have a premonition? Lol

While possible, I doubt it. I think that infant update will be a pre expansion pack patch for the next EP (I guess Generations) and if they drop the patch on January 3rd, that means they have to formally announce the next EP in this quarter if it's coming that early in 2023.
I don't know. Early is very vague.
@rudy8292 I don't recall a particular expansion type being mentioned in the after summit event that I watched in full, after the fact. Just that two were expected. I wasn't terribly impressed with the Generations pack from Sims3, so I'm slightly distressed over the clamor for another one. The original one I found woefully lacking. I'm a Family player, too, but there was precious little in that pack to keep me entertained. (I found Parenthood far more satisfying.) I do agree a pre-expansion pack patch is most logical.
Unless, they just drop them into our game the way they did with Toddlers!
We'll have to wait and see. Right now, I have to convince myself to go ahead and play my game forward to help the time go by faster. IE keep busy till the clock runs out, so to speak.
I will likely roll back my game save to replay the birth of Erik's first child, so I can play with the new infants with my favorite Sim family. But, that doesn't mean I can't move the story further ahead, right? The twin girls will age up to Toddler in about four Sim days when I pick things up again. And since we really don't know how the infants will manifest, it's a hard call to make.

like lowkey already starting to plan around not creating any babies in my save before the new nooboos have settled in
also I'm just afraid they forgot about get to work hospital and alien babies and such cause they always forget to update aliens i swear and get to work is already broken currently i don't want it to be even more so
That's right, but the 'new worlds' showing a kid on a bike, and a baby being carried on the back of a Sim gives a bit of a hint. Also the objects like Dentures and Box of memories etc. seem to hint that a Generations Expansion is coming. And that would make sense with the infant update.
But yes, it is all speculation at this point, sure. They haven't flat out said anything about the next EP in detail, just the few concept art things and that there are 2 EP's coming next year.
We will have to wait and see! I loved the Generations EP in Sims 3 and I cannot wait to see what they will do with the Sims 4 version (if it comes).
You're right, early is very vague. It could be Feb or March, maybe April. I am wondering if it will be a pre expansion patch or if we won't get more info on them and they'll just drop like they did with toddlers. Only time will tell!
Unfortunately I am already counting on numerous bugs when they arrive
I am thinking it will be something like Generations. I really loved that pack. So much more could've been done with it, sure, but to me it added more filling to the life stages
just like me then I was suppose to be born in April but got December instead
Remember all the GREAT UPDATES to hair, skin, make-up, clothes, lore, refreshes???
I don't even know if they are going to do any of the above mentioned things anymore
I'm thinking Mid to Late January for the next ep. Toddlers came out 2 weeks before the Vampire GP so the infant update could very well come out the first or second week of January.
I was thinking Generations but after seeing the spark trailer yesterday I'm beginning to think the EP will be on Brazil. One of the world pics in the sim summit look like what they showed yesterday with the colored buildings and apartments. Brazil has been mentioned on surveys 2 or 3 times.
One of the EPS has to be generation based. They had a family out in the art for the world. And because the mother had an infant on her back, it’s why the infant update is coming first. More objects for infants included in the pack. Also the dentures, wasn’t in any of the recent kits that released. Possibly because it will come with the generations type EP.
Lol pure speculation 😅but it makes sense 🤷♂️
