    I love dif. cultures, so I'm hoping for something different than what we already have. Irish/Scottish Pub would be nice, something with bagpipes...yay!!! :D

    Also, would love more shop keeping sets and pool items.

    (For the sims 1 I made a Mc Donalds (fast food) set and a Home Depot set.)

    I think that it's going to be another builders set. That's something that we've asked for over and over and over again and even had a really long picture thread going for ages. I hope that it has lots of different matching windows or maybe windows with lots of different stencils and ditto doors and etc.

    I am hoping *fingers crossed* for a builder set.

    The PC could be just about anything and I'd still buy it. I was a little disappointed in the Then and Now set, so I'm hoping for more matching things and maybe something super spiffy. Like a different take on the Then and Now with several door options (recolorable knobs would be awesome) or a dozen sets of curtains. I'd buy it like a hoarder. :oops:

    Did we get a hit about Ivy? Hmmm...first thing that comes to mind is bricks. Masonry?
    Speaking of bricks, I've always wanted brick steps like these

    Round steps would be great Dragon :D A round door would also be great :D:wink:

    Apparently there is a new featured look set coming out soon:

    Hopefully there will still be an August set with PC, though.

    The house looks similar to a cabin theme and I see a pool with the wave machine. Hmm I wonder what the theme of this set is.

    Yoga for certain. Lots of new physical fitness stuff would be nice.

    I also really want more theme park type stuff. The two venues, Boardwalk and the Wonder stuff look like they'll go well together. But I'd love more rides and games, a full out theme park set up would be fun to build. (I just went to a water park this month so I'm chomping at the bit to go back already!)

    I think yoga was ruled out for August.

    It's a Featured Look called "Sandy Shoals Sea Shanty", which gets my hopes up that the August set might just be a nice summer-themed set :D I love that this is a SimGuruKitty build, too. Her builds are amazing, and do I spy a little lighthouse-esque part where the roof is near the top left of the picture that is cut off :) :?:

    That looks nice!

    I think I see a lighthouse on the side of the house too. :D

    A new featured look will be nice. :-)

    I'm glad we know some of what we are not getting.

    Given that some of the things I really would love to have in my game are in the list of things we are not getting this time, I have to say I'd be very pleased with a comprehensive build set that has lots of the things from that builders thread we added so many requests to last year.

    :(:D I hope it isn't a featured look. Like compilations, they are a waste of time for the many who buy as each thing comes out and if they are made at all should be an extra. I think it would be cruel to even get any more featured looks as we only get one set a month now and featured looks add no new content. It is like getting no set at all for many simmers. I don't even look at them. :(

    :D An ivy covered tree would be neat. Maybe something peaceful comes to mind. With Ivy as a clue and the many things that have been ruled out, I give up on this one. I guess I will just have to wait until the pic. Since one third of the month is over, maybe a guru will feel sorry for us tomorrow and give us a pic or just out and out tell us something that will be in it. One can dream. :D

    Oh yeah I see the lighthouse design too now. :-)

    I wonder if the inside of the house is beach themed with previous beach sets we've gotton like the villa set and others.

    You could have something about a beach or pool set next month. I sure hope so. I'd rather it be for pools though. A hammock would work for either a beach or pool set. :wink:

    Has Simguru Copeland ruled out Hammock's for August?

    Bricks is a good guess. I'm sure I'm wrong but when I think of ivy I think of school buildings-and brick school buildings for that matter. I know we have University and rabbithole schools for children and teens but maybe it's a classroom setup?

    This sounds like a really good guess! When I think of ivy, I think of a University campus too! :)

    This is more of a want than a guess. I would like to have these slide door closets like we had in the sims 2.

    I want wall closets so badly! Right now I make fake ones with the Ambitions clothes rack, the Generations shelves, some laundry clutter, and the ventilated doors from IP. It's just not the same as a functioning closet.

    Trying to think of things ivy goes well with... the only thing I can really come up with is some sort of Irish pub... but I may have guessed that earlier in the thread :-/

    Well, I tried! :XD: We'll see what happens. I like it when we get something on a Friday because it gives us something to chew on over the weekend!

    Wait. Was he referring to the hanging egg chair? What does that have to do with a window, epic or otherwise? I'm confused.

    Copeland got really excited about that egg chair! It was funny because there's the LGR running joke about there being so many chairs in the game. Then this one came out and everyone was like, 'Wow! It actually is a really cool chair!'.

    So I'm guessing there is something special or quirky about this window.

    I have my hopes for something but I'm too nervous to say. :)
