Any hints on what we are getting the 4th quarter of 2023?

SheriSim57

I can’t wait to see what we are getting in the last quarter. I loved the horse expansion!

Last two years, Q4 has been very quiet. Back in Oct 2022 Behind the Sims said 2023 was 2 EPs. We've already got them, so I'm not expecting anything else.

Would love a SP or GP. But highly doubt it. Likely 2-3 kits.

Yes, I remember how last year there was pretty much nothing between HSY releasing in July and the infants update/Growing Together in March this year… That was a long time! So I’m resigned to a quiet spell for the next quarter — but I’d love to be wrong!

I think a Fairies Game pack will be announced in the road map a stuff pack and a kit also cars will be a big patch.

Behind The Sims is coming September 12.

Ooh, interesting. The timing makes me hopeful that we might actually get something substantial in this coming roadmap - maybe a GP?

I reeeally want fairies, so I doubt that will be it, lol.

Simmingal

its just 15 minutes though
I'm keeping my expectations low

if theres gp/sp more to this year it would be great time for occult

if not then I would also appreciate some updates

And that 15 minutes is shared by TS4, Sims Mobile, Sims Freeplay, and Project Rene.

I think last time it was 15 minutes as well. If there are no dances there's plenty of time for announcements of any kind and it takes a few seconds to post the hints for whatever they have panned for next months.

As it said "the upcoming TS4 season" (Oct./Nov./Dec.), probably GP13 or 1 big update and kits.

I will note that Sept. 12th is 4 weeks before Oct. 13th (Friday)

I’m probably overlooking something really obvious here, but I can’t think what the significance of October 13th is?

Friday the 13th would be perfect for GP13 with a Grim Reaper theme, Halloween vibe.

@LeGardePourpre Ah I get it, thanks!

If the Grim Reaper rumours are true I hope that includes a real and substantial update to ghosts as well.

• Graveyard lot trait
• More styles of tombstones (not decor, but the actual tomb stones)
• Needs that are specific to ghosts (I hate seeing ghosts eat or sleep or go to the bathroom, seriously, they're dead! Socialising, fun could stay, but then I'd like needs that are entirely theirs like "strengthen connection to the world", or "recharge energy" by for example returning to their tomb after they've haunted someone or possessed something?)
• The ability to tie ghosts to specific lots or lot-types (grave yard, haunted houses...)
• The ability to create ghosts in CAS

And

• Necromancy spells
• Zombies

I have to say, I really liked seeing a ghost show up in the park one time when sims were telling ghost stories. I’m not sure I would like them tied to specific lots. Since we have a lot trait for ghosts, I don’t normally see them elsewhere anyway.

I saw somewhere else that it said big, so I was thinking cars since we know for sure it isn't an EP, but after looking here, it could very well be a graveyard and hopefully funeral listed as an event in parties along with Grim updates ect. I was thinking it would be exciting to get cars, but this could be more exciting possibly. I'd take both.

JAL

@SheriSim57 I'd like the option to tie them to lot, I wouldn't want them to be permanently tied to a lot. As with everything else, I want it to be up to the player. I think they did that with werewolves if I'm not mistaken (I don't have the pack), that the player can decide if werewolves are allowed outside of Moonwood mill or not. That's an option I'd love to see for all occults, that way we can make our own decision. Preferably, that would also be save based, so that in one save I can have occults everywhere, and in another only if I go where they are.

Stuff packs are back lol. I missed them.

In the behind the sims video they talked about a neighborly expansion and I think there will be updates to things like worlds and especially residential lot types, there will probably be stuff like hotels, motels, and duplexes, there will probably also be more advanced gameplay and interactions with neighbors. It also said hustle and hustle so I think they will add something like a way to run a company from home, I also think it could be kids being able to do chores for neighbors and do other things like making lemonade stands, they can maybe also make it so if you are moving away you could have an open house.

I was thinking it had something to do with a real estate career and features that may be related to it.

SheriSim57

In the behind the sims they mentioned “construction”. I’m wondering if we could have an architect or construction career where you build houses, rather like the dream home decorator doing interior design. It was just a thought that popped into my head.

I would love to see apartments, townhouse/duplexes, motels and hotels as well as cars. I would also like to see some new romance interactions, and romantic likes and dislikes, seeing the heart bed made md think romance may be coming in some form this quarter too.
