Nothing is happening

lovejess2

I go on the forum to see if anything new is coming and somewhat interesting but nope. I get it expansions take time well what about someone giving news on the myriad bug fixes we need. So far we are waiting on two very boring careers God knows when but we're told it's happening good God where is EA.

Expansions and the career patch is the trend at the moment.

Maybe EA has pulled a fast one again

Welcome to my world. I've been this way since September 2nd

First off, we're STILL in the very beginning of December. And we HAVE had word on the anticipated patch. They test these things all the way up to the expected release and sometimes, like this time, they detect a bug. They are working on it, now. The patch will come out when they extricate said bug. Please, take a deep breath, peeps, and let it out s-l-o-w-l-y. This is NOT a race, it's about getting the job done correctly (we hope). This is supposed to be the Season of 'good will towards men'. Let's try to promulgate that idea, by giving EA a fair shot at it. All it requires is a little patience on our part.

As for EPs, they usually start several months down the road from the launch. I don't expect the first one to be released until summer.

Wake me up when TS4 has gotten better

So people complain when patches get released that have bugs...and when they hold back a patch because they find a bug people get upset?

Can't win for losing.

I want the new patch too -- mainly for whatever might be coming in holiday decor; I had a dream last night that we got a bunch of holiday items and a Holiday category in the Decor catalog in Buy Mode. Though I've got one Sim ready for a change to the Business career, and a couple who are just about ready for Athletics once they age to young adult. But I'm willing to wait and hope they get it done right the first time.

EA is still working on getting the bugs ready for the career patch. When they deem the patch has a sufficient amount of bugs, they'll release it. The first expansion pack, on the other hand, they are afraid of the backlash it'd receive from the community -- assuming it is the rumored Open for Business expansion pack.

Summer's probably pushing it, they're going to milk this cash cow sooner rather than later. My guess is Spring, but we'll see. Let's hope they come up with something original.

If an EP isn't released by March, then I believe even the die-hards are going to run out of fun things to do in their games. I think those who are still having loads of fun are in the minority and everyone else is more than ready for an EP.

Or a showtime/fame EP because of the singing in simlish videos.

Wouldn't it be nice if it got pushed back so they could add lots of holiday content.

I wonder if EA give them a Christmas holiday?

Actually, WA came out 5 months after the Sims 3 base game, so that would put us at about February or March for the first Sims 4 EP. I'd figure an official announcement of the EP/theme to come sometime after New Year's.

I actually dreamed that the patch had a bunch of holiday content, and even a Holiday category in the Decorations catalog. More likely though is that someone came up with a major bug in one of the new careers; maybe something wasn't working quite right with one of the steps so advancement wasn't possible, or maybe one of the new objects had issues. I suppose if it looks like a major delay they could split off the holiday content from the careers and release that as a separate patch (along with whatever other bug-squashing updates they've got), but it would have to be something that would take more than a week or two just so people could have the holiday content before the actual holiday.

I hope the first EP isn't an Emotions EP.

Don't be silly... there will obviously be DLC for that instead.

I'm still having fun with it, but that doesn't mean I'm not ready for an ep! Who isn't?

It's hard to go from full games back to a base. I often wish for things but then I remember, no that was in 3, or 2.

I'm ready for 5 eps! lol

Well, I'm still having fun, but an EP would just add to that.

If they do interject holidays I kind of want the ones from TS3 Seasons to return. That was actually nice to have something new in the series and they should expand them a bit more. Like Snowflake day should have a vacation sim week or something like that so no school or work and baking holiday cookies.

I'd be happy just to see a screenshot of that sweater.

Op Simguru Daniel said tons of new content are coming with this patch and Simguru Sarah hinted green as one of the items their excited for.

If they would release the content depending on how fast people blitz trough it, they would have to put out an expansion every 1 to 2 months. We would end up with like 50 expansions by the end of The Sims 4s lifetime

Yep, I still keep visiting here, looking for an answer to the question, "Is there any reason to buy this game yet?"

The answer is still "nope."

I honestly can't believe they haven't made any DLC yet.
