    It's nice to get some build options for pools, but we would have needed a pack with functional stuff that probably won't come now.

    My daughter said she heard something about a flirty expansion pack. Maybe we will get hotels and slides with it! She also said that the person was talking about it maybe being Brazilian inspired.

    Hmm, where do you see the connection between flirting, hotels and pool slides 🤔? And if there is a connection, there could also be fairies, living in cars behind the hotel ... 🚗🏩

    The Roadmap shows a Pool Waterfall with those rocks. I hope this is premade and we don't have to make the waterfall on the rocks.

    Definitely getting a European vibe from both these kits, and I think that sometimes kits are the leftovers from bigger packs, so perhaps we'll be getting a new European world here shortly. Who knows. I'd love a romance pack based in France or Italy.

    Welp... looks like I was at least partially right. :D Here's hoping the flirtation expansion comes with a European world now!

    What is a European world? Do you think Finland or Greece, Belgium or Russia?

    No pool slide, no diving board, no pool stairs, no swim-up bar, no in-ground/pool hot tub.... just more of the same stuff we already have only in a different decor style. *sigh*

    Is there any hope the new EP features hotels and that's when we'll see some fun new pool stuff?

    The bistro set looks nice (I have a couple of cc sets from Pierisim and Felixandre that look very similar)... My only fear is that we'll still end up with 20 sims standing around the barista counter instead of sitting down at the tables enjoying their nectar latte grande and croissant. Hopefully there's some Dine-Out/Get Together bug fixes coming beforehand to remedy that problem?

    @AncientMuse 's writing tutor looks at her disapprovingly over a pair of tortoise-shell glasses: This sentence is unnecessarily verbose! You can express this information in a more succinct fashion by rephrasing it thus:

    It's a kit.
    -No, my almost-elderly mother, I don't think it's a good time for you to try for a baby.
    -Yes, person I barely know, you have my blessing to hang out with Johnny Zest.
    -No person with the mean, hot-headed and self-absorbed traits, I don't think you should get married.

    I think they meant Western/Southern Europe

    Atleast there is a pool waterfalls. Those other items could come in the Romance Expansion Pack especially if Hotels are in it.

    I hope they add hotels. The building types on the road map point to that. Also a city like world. If this could be the teams answer to making a new expansion pack where a new lot type requires them to also fix the multi residential lot issues, that would be fantastic🙏🤞🏼

    I feel like if we were getting hotels they wouldn't hide it, hotels will be the lead feature of their own pack. I would love a world inspired by France but I've heard it may be Brazilian themed.

    I know people want hotels, and I wanted them too, but after the mess that was For rent, I am not really looking forward to them anymore.

    I'd honestly be happy with a world inspired by any place in Europe, except perhaps England or Germany since we already have those. Since it's a pack centered on love though, I'd expect countries with traditionally "romantic languages" to be spot-lighted, so Italy, France, Spain or (more likely) a world that incorporates aspects from all three.

    Those buildings on the roadmap looked like hotels. I don't think they were apartments. Remember the reveal trailer hasn't released yet. It will probably confirm hotels.

    Personally, I think they should put in a new build tool in the Base for Round Pools before the Pool Kit. ;)

    I agree. This could easily be added in an update.

    I'm hoping Today we'll get a Kit Announcement for Thursday and a Patch. Some on Twitter have speculated The Kits might get announced Today and release Thursday because the roadmap released on the last day of the sales. Normally the roadmap releases on Tuesday or Thursday.

    I totally agree with this. If we ever get hotels, I think it’ll be the main feature, with gameplay of running a resort etc. But I’d really like hotels, so I’d be very happy to be proved wrong :)

    The thought of hotel scares me. With the For Rent lot category challenge in mind, I would be more positive to a next EP without any hotel feature. Unless the hotel is a rabbit hole, which I know most simmers would not applaude...

    Mexican sounds fun though. And we could always rent a house like we already do in Selvadorada. Maybe the world could have a hood with 4-5 lots grouped as a resort? Would work for me.

    I can’t help feeling that the content of the pool kit is very similar to stuff we already have. As many have already said, what would be really nice for pools is more gameplay, but it seems that new gameplay will never come in a kit.

    It did... Once, with the Bust the Dust kit... Only for it to never happen again :D
