I strongly doubt that mockery is part of the promotional cycle.
It frustrates me a bit. I love we are getting more stuff for toddlers. But this is all for 3 months and on top of that it will be during summer vacation for some people? I feel like we used to get more content before we had quarterly teasers.
It seems to be more than 'a bit'. Calm down. It's just DLC for a video game. I didn't get anything I was interested in this time around either. It will come in its own time. There's nothing malicious going on.
I didn't say malicious. I am calm, I'm just dissapointed it's so little contents, I'm also ok with the theme. I just think this game in comparison to other sims games is very lacking to afford giving us such little content. I could get a bigger SP just by downloading CAS items for toddlers. I just buy SPs for the game play objects
I think it is healthy to remember that the developers are people too. They have families and wants and desires. They want to take vacations in the summer too. So Q3 ends up being light. That's life.
??? That has nothing to do with it. A lot of people are people and they work extremely hard. Doctors, lawyers, teachers and many other careers. This is not high school.
It absolutely may have much to do with it. People take the bulk of their vacation time in the summer. Offices are often staffed more lightly simply because workers are down the shore. It isn't high school, it's the real world.
Maybe in your world. In my world people work hard all year long and don't have the law of minimum effort just because summer is around the corner.
It isn't just my world, it is your world too. The reality is that people tend to take their 2-week vacations most often during the months of July or August. Businesses call it the summer slump, as productivity is notably lower with a rolling series of absences.

I've lived in several countries and that's not how it works. If anything they work way harder and more hours just so they can leave everything ready before they leave.

Strollers would need a lot of new animation and pathfinding, so i doubt it. i'd guess strollers would be in some sort of family/outdoor activities GP

You're moving the goalposts. Of course they get their work done, but they aren't there to handle new work. And that's everywhere. It's normal. So as someone who has had decades of experience I can tell you that this is reality.

It's not "new work". For example pets have been in the code for several months.

I would hope that you would understand the difference between snippets of residual coding found in the base game and a completed piece of DLC. Regardless, I'm not going to sit here and go around with you all day. I understand your point -- the devs are shiftless do-nothings who are mocking you with their teaser. I could not disagree more with that assessment for the reasons stated above.

Yes, but,
Depends on how you view the seasons. Technically/scientifically winter begins at the winter solstice, spring at the vernal equinox, summer at the summer solstice and autumn at the autumn equinox, but when the sims team refer to early simmer etc they're referring to (I know this 'cause I've checked it in the past) the meteorological seasons
Meteorological seasons;
spring - March to May
summer - June to August
Autumn - September to November
Winter - December to January
At the starts of those quarters you hear it all the time in weather forecasts.

If you are expectations are this low I can't even discuss with you.
@SparklePlumley and @Dannydanbo, thanks guys I'm excited for the Toddler pack, especially if it does include outdoor toys! I hope the new gameplay item is one of these:
Paddling pool
Sandpit
Pushchair
Rocking horse
Spring rocker (like in Sims 3)
Pedal car or trike
I'm happy for people that wanted more toddler stuff, but seriously 1 stuff pack in 3 months? At this rate we won't get University or Seasons until after 2020. EA really outdoes itself in terms of pinching every last penny. Honestly, how long do they expect this series to last, 10 years? Most likely no, so this series will inevitably have the least content of the series. It's just depressing. I feel bad for the Maxis, having to deal with EA's absurd "budget concerns" that constrain the series at every turn. Just sad.
*Ends rant*
But it is nice that we will get new toddler stuff, which the games is actually lacking.

@Orchid13@OEII1001 let it go. Don't derail the thread already, it's been up for barely a few hours.
Apologies, my lord. I will show myself out.
Was that supposed to be funny?
It was not. I was an acknowledgement of the reality that I am not welcome here. I am not considered part of this community nor a Real Simmer (TM). I merely was content to challenge what I believed to be an erroneous assertion regarding the nature of the developers and quarterly teasers. Having done that, I am happy to withdraw.
I leave you now to 'yea boiiii' to your heart's content, sir.

Oh my god that's so rude! Poor devs, they can't seem to get anything right.
That wasn't his/her opinion, but an interpretation of what they thought another player was saying.

Exactly. Cause those weren't my words except for saying that I felt like they were mocking us. That part I admit to. The other discussion started cause of an extremely bad argument about how devs are humans.

Not derailing it? It's about the new quarterly teaser in general.
