    Did they confirm that the heart bed is just clutter?

    The sims broke the Heart-shaped bed by overusing it for decades (TS1/TS2/TS3) :p

    Now it's a relic of the past.

    Could be a hint 🤔

    I may be reaching, but could it possibly have anything to do with the "hot" update?

    I think we will get the update in the middle of May, and there are another two kits in early June, then some teasers and propaganda about the next content pack release.

    Summer outdoor activities
    I really hope it’s more than an update on the caliente family, that’s not the most exciting, seeing as how we as players can already tell our own stories with the caliente family. I really hope it’s something that adds something to the game that can be incorporated through the game and not just with one family

    I want summer outdoor activities more than a Caliente update but it's probably just a refresh of that family to go in vein with the Goth refresh from awhile back. Then they just have to do the Landgraabs.

    None of the above.

    I’m 97% positive it’s a new CAS button that will sit next to the sim randomizer. It’ll be called the 🔥Hot🔥button and when you click on it any selected sim will turn into an extremely hot sim, even if they’re already hot. Sims will never be hot enough unless you hit that 🔥Hot🔥button!

    This is exactly why the latest patch introduced that cursed face bug. The rig got all messed up because Team Maxis is still testing out this new hotify feature, alas…something in the code must have gone haywire since we’ve all experienced that right now it has the opposite effect on sims. Wait until the button is there and fully functional. It’s gonna be hotter than hot. Looking forward to it. Be gone, ye wonky, pear shaped squishy head weasels!

    If it’s not that it’ll most likely be one of the following:

    • Firewalking skill. Although I would have welcomed it, no fire woohoo in a heart shaped bed this time. Instead, we’ll be getting a bed of hot embers for our sims to walk on. I used it plenty in Sims 3 for ceremonial purposes. 😈
    • Inferno lot trait. A trait that turns any lot into a hell hole. Includes demon NPCs. Bit like the Paranormal Bubble Ghosts, but less cute and more dangerous. 😈
    • Ehr…More hot pants shorts? Because we don’t have enough hot pants shorts? Of all the things I mentioned, this one would be my absolute favorite…




    I truly wish you were a lead game developer because you always have the BEST ideas to me 😂😂😂😂

    New spicy food
    I would be happy with either new food, a pool update, or new summer activities... but honestly, ever since someone first suggested that it would be an update for the Caliente family, I've had the sinking feeling that that is exactly the kind of cheesy wordplay teaser they would do. But I'm voting for something else to try to keep from putting that out into the universe. :D

    I thought the two new kits we were getting were the ones we just got couple of days ago.

    I feel it'll be a Dine Out refresh with new dating gameplay.

    we will get four kits this season, of which we got just the first two in earlier days.

    Update on the Caliente family
    I believe it is the Calientes which makes me sad because I don't play them so it's totally useless for me. BUT glad for anyone that's excited about it.

    I’m hoping it’s to do with the Caliente update. How long were the Goths redone? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️. We need the townie refreshes completed. 🤞

    I think it is the heart bed - possibly with a few extra interactions. Creating parts of the mesh with the basement clutter kit, might be a hint.

    I'm totally not interested in any Caliente updates. In my game the sisters are elders and their mom is no longer around. Although it might be interesting to new simmers, I'm sure many of us are done with the 1st gen premades.

    oh I am only getting started with old premades :lol: but I do have my own edited versions I prefer to have so yeah I am not really interested unless they come with something new I can also use for my existing Calientes

    I didn't switch out my Goths for new ones either cause I prefer my own edit

    I’m hoping it will be an update dealing with romance. I’d love to see an attraction system, maybe some kind of dating app. Some romantic things like a bear rug. I feel like the broken heart bed in the. basement kit might be pointing to a romance update, at least I hope so. Someone mentioned cars as the hot update. I could see cars as part of a romance pack. Making out and woohoo are two of the things that could be done in cars.

    If it’s not romance based, then I hope it’s at least pool stuff.

    Not what I want it to be but I'm guessing Caliente family update. I wish it was a pool update they have been ignored since Get Together.

    Voting for what I want and not what I think will happen.

    And speaking of pre-made makeovers, I wonder why they stopped? I know the Goth one had a mixed reception but they did say they would keep going. It's not like it's resource intensive or anything

    So I heard Sims Freeplay essentially allows "free range" woohoo-ing, and now I'm wondering if this could be the update? A romance update but focusing on expanding allowable woohoo spots?? I mean they freed the infants.... is this the next logical step?

    I don't consider an update on the Calientie Household to be hot. I'm hoping it's a major pool update or cars. As much as I want cars I hope it's a pool update.

    What do you mean about free ranging?

    If the bed gets blocked, the Sims will woohoo by the bed. 😳
    That happened once when I was changing the rooms around in a house. Only one side was free and I didn’t realise, I wanted a pool!

    There’s pixelation of course!

    Me neither, but "caliente" means "hot" in Spanish, and it's been a while since the Goth makeover, so it would make sense.

    Personally, I couldn't care less about those makeovers of premade families. With the Goths, I thought the intention was to undo the "whitewashing" that happened to Bella, but the new version looks barely darker than the first one, just less saturated. (I think it's more noticeable with Cassandra, though.) Not to mention that the game was already 7+ years old when they did that, enough time for everyone to get used to the new Bella, create their own, or forget about her altogether.

    But I'm going off-topic here, so back to the question. Even though I think it's probably going to be the Caliente makeover, I hope it's something new for pools and/or summer activities.
