Let's just be thankful that we're not in the dark anymore.
While it may be true that we know what is technically coming I have to respectfully disagree with this statement. I can't speak for anyone else but me but I will say I think some Simmers will agree when I say...we weren't looking to have every nook and cranny about the game especially since it's still in development but what we did want at the very least is the basic knowledge of what's to come. Some details one what we can look forward too. All we know are the themes. Literally that's it! So I have to say we are in the dark because if this was The Sims 3 by now we would have at least known what the expansion pack was about and a feature or two that would come...
>.> I'm with the OP. I had to redo my windows and start fresh. The only thing I am downloading from EA is Sims 2. After this 15 second video I think I won't be downloading Sims 4 again. It can stay in my hidden games with a few of their abandoned games.. And as far as better than nothing statements.. Nothing would be better than a lack luster 15 second video. I don't need to be thankful for a game I purchased, it should be them that are thankful customer still buy their product. I will tell you what I am thankful for in gaming though. A complete game with straight up honest developers that appreciate their customers. And that is becoming a rare breed.
Well we did ask for more info in advance that we could speculate and discuss and now that's not good enough for some. Unfortunately someone else beat @SimGuruDrake to the punch that ruined it for me I was waiting for the excitement gif and then the info.
Will children be allowed to eat in restaurants especially since their not allowed to order from the cafe's? I hope so they need to eat to.

Well ... there was tables, with couples. A waiter writing down an order, so that means no tablet at the table to order from. A fancy wine glass on the back table and something in a full clown outfit. The sad clown might return. I would surmise the game pack was about restaurants and eating out, probably a romantic date setting with the wine glasses and each table having one male and one female sim and not a party or group ...
It was stated someplace that a GIF would be provided today. So this 15 second video fits as GIF in my book. I wasn't expecting a huge blog post, content trailer, live stream or anything else. What was provided today is exactly what was said would be. Anything else is just rumors, false speculation claiming to be official or people expecting more that what was said.

Apparently everything they're doing shows disrespect. Lots of people asked for restaraunts and a childrens stuff pack, and LOTs of people asked for better teasers and hints.
I'm going to bold this so everyone can understand
This is not a trailer, this is a TEASER
teas·er
ˈtēzər/Submit
noun
noun: teaser; plural noun: teasers
a short introductory advertisement for a product, especially one that does not mention the name of the thing being advertised.
synonyms: advertisement, hook, come-on
"teasers point readers to the main features"

Not a one of us will say that the marketing for the game is perfect, but here's the issue...it isn't TS3. People have to learn that and accept that. What was relevant with TS3 isn't with TS4. We know the themes for the next couple of packs. That knowledge is better than no knowledge.

Well like I had said, it might not be what some of us was expecting. But it's certainly far better than nothing at all!
I actually can't deal with some of you guys. Alot of you whine and complain about the lack of transparency and say things like "I miss when we would know the theme!"
Now we know the theme for the next game pack AND stuff pack yet alot of you still complain.
Toddlers were never removed sorry, you guys are the toddlers.
I thought being a sim guru would be a dream job but after watching how half of the people on here act like spoiled children makes me think twice about that. Sorry, not censoring myself. I think it's crazy how people complain about lack of information and it's delivered and it's not good enough.
Your incapability to read the forums without having a meltdown is your fault for generalizing everyone.
Personally, I'm happy we get news in a new format now, but I am very disappointed with the news we have actually received, or in other words, the themes themselves.
I'm surprised that "frig" isn't plummed out on this forum. (If you don't know what it means, go listen to the chorus of Friggin in the Riggin by the Sex Pistols.)

I couldn't agree more. They wanted apples the gurus gave them apples but now they want to complain because they got green apples instead of red apples. Sad!

In the meantime the real reason for all this hyping and being highly disappointed after and simmers calling other simmers toddlers is the game still isn't good enough. There is some clearly underwhelming going on on another forum where nobody felt they were promised something, and a simmer who has bought everything for this game from day one declaring she won't anymore. Completely unaware simmers here now have started to blame each other for the desillusion.

Yeah that word has only had one meaning in my lifetime that I know of.

I've got to agree with this. I find this more hilarious, sadly.
Nothing to see. I don't even care about the forums.
@klovesjen, this i actually gonna happen every sim season thing. which is every 2-3 months. so every 2-3 months we get something like the video to see what is to come next.it's also doesn't interfere trailers blogs or other announcements we have atm. i find this wayyy better then having silence and not knowing what to come next till there's an announcement or getting close to the pack

The gurus gave me nothing I asked for. I asked for game play and I mean real game play not just some item with a few animations attached with it. I asked about bugs/glitches fixes. I asked for less quests. I asked for many things that 15 second video didn't cover.
Then there is the toddlers and family play that many many people keep asking for. That 15 second video did nothing for anybody but the I will accept anything EA throws at me people.
Great there is restraunts coming out! More reskins! ... Can you just imagine the musical chairs?
It would be great if they gave news about problems in game instead of the $$$$$ news.
@gamekitten a simple video shouldn't turn u off a game and it might not be complete but u knew that when u purchased it. I dont mean to sound harsh or anythin so sorry if I do. Everyone just needs to be thankful that we got communication about content when being with nothin for two months. Dont u realise they r starting to listen to us? Dont put them off doing another thing like this with all the comments. In my opinion people are being picky. A fill trailer on the packs when they come out would just be like a repeat and 15 seconds is enough to give us insights on 2 packs
To all you beautiful people out there, have a lovely day.
Well we don't know much else right now...I wouldn't say there's loads of reskins without seeing even half of the items. We don't know what the Thursday patch is fixing exactly either. There's loads of.bugs that do need fixed, but I can't be too disappointed until I see the patch notes.
I like the introduction of seasonal announcements, and, while short, that video told me all I need to know at this stage; what type of pack is coming, the overall theme and approximately when. I will be reading the more in-depth pre-release announcements, because I do want to know a bit more about the packs before I make a purchasing decision, but for now I'm happy with the new info, and can get back to my town planning accordingly.

If I was the Sims team I wouldn't tell you guys anything because no matter what you guys are going to find something to 🐸🐸🐸🐸 and complain about.
