What do I expect?
New items for the Holiday Pack
Other new things for The Base Game. Their teasing some new goodies at Maxis Monthly Tuesday.
Bug fixes and hoping the following gets fixed
1)Blue Ceilings
2)Leaf Woohoo Cancelling Out
3)Stinky Leafs Piles that never disappear in other Seasons.
4)Automatic Cat Litter Boxes and Pet Food dishes.
Because it's December I'm expecting a Patch Thursday December 6th because of a possible new update to the Holiday Pack. I'm also expecting we'll be getting more build items cause SimGuruMrE mentioned he will be showing off some new goodies on his PC at the Maxis Monthly. I can very easily see us getting new stair types.
Comments
Hopefully it will be if SimGuruNick,Arvin and Icarious know about it.
Yes but that isn't all. Kate says goodies.
As for anything else, I have no idea. Hopefully something for occult players though. That would be a nice, welcome surprise.
Yep! Somehow, I'm more interested with a feature.. Goodies are great too!
Is the feature update in addition to the gallery update? 🤔
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
Well, I don't expect anything huge; bug fixes are the best goodies for me.

Gives them also a good reason to bring back the Changing table for example, but there are so many things they can do with babies to make them better..
I would also love to see ''proper teens'' (that means for example they make them shorter, which probably will never happen because animations reworking blablabla). And more stuff for the Elder life stage to enjoy. Canes for example.
In general I think they have to flesh out a lot of the life stages more.
But I know, that's probably not going to be it anyway.
I immediately assume that the feature update and “goodies” will be holiday-related given the time of year. The only question is: what could be added that we don’t already have? New recipes like eggnog and gingerbread? New outerwear options? If it’s not holiday-related, I’ll be pretty surprised. I just can’t imagine what the feature update might be. I do hope whatever’s in the patch is something more unexpected than I’m thinking.
Those are somewhat realistic to add. But I can live without them perfectly fine.
Open Neighborhood, CASt, Buildable Appartments...
Those are confirmed off the Table for Sims 4.
What I want, however, is a long beard that goes down below the belly button, just like the one my Dad had, and my favorite Occults from TS3 (Witches) to return.
Everything else is a bonus for me. And I don't even know if those beards are even possible...
Mantle stockings, poinsettia, stair garland,an actual santa suit,gingerbread house and sugar cookies.
Freeing the babies could be tricky because what happens to already existing object babies? Unless they give a heads up and tell players they'd better age up their current babies to toddlers before the patch releases.
I think we get some sort of update for the Holiday Celebration pack plus bug fixes (my Love Day flower gifts have been fine, but sorry to hear others have been bugged). A real out there idea would be a mini world (4-5 lots) set alongside the beach area in Del Sol Valley, then if we get ocean swimming that world will be enabled for it as well.

We could use more cultural holiday traditions beyond the normal Western Christmas. Maybe some Hanukkah recipes like potato latkes, or dreidel spinning as an activity. Toddlers and children could use some tacky Christmas sweaters as well. I just ordered this one after seeing @SimGuruMorgan tweet:
Feature update could be additional tweaking and improvements to the recently introduced First Person camera mode and/or terrain manipulation (being able to use terrain paints on the manipulated terrain would be a Big Deal).

I just remembered there was supposed to be another gallery update this year with new features if I recall correctly, like being able to take your own screenshots. Wonder if that's it or if they had to postpone it. (I think Grant or another Guru said that in an interview, but I can't find it right now.)
I honestly don't even need any freebies. Just fix the bugs, like the leaf piles which is now a 6 month old month bug.
Grant said that in the last Gallery Livestream.

We have terrain tools, but not pond tools.
I doubt they are coming.
Also Origin updated yesterday is the patch coming this week?
