Well we know we're getting a patch in Late March to fix skin tones on the console.
We're also getting bunkbeds in next months patch which means it might be a pre gamepack patch.
We have a new pack type called kits coming however we don't know if it will be
in March.
It's possible the bunkbed may not be part of a pre gamepack patch.

I know. I fixed it.
On the other side, the fact that they'll be offering this smaller and nicher pieces of content, appeasing our last desires... i can't avoid thinking that sims 4 may be in it's last years. And it somehow makes me a bit sad, but of course, we all knew that day would be coming...
If any case, if a new pack is indeed coming they’ll probably announce it next week. A new EP announcement would distract any backlash against the new kits
i think that's why they're releasing bunk beds. and if there's more backlash we may get lucky and get cars or body hair as they're other popular requests ea probably has on hold until controversies happen lmao
They have to, unless they hire more people. You can't just make more DLC without cutting from anything else.
They might still make stuff packs but there are most likely going to be less of them now.
Two of the kits are literally just CAS items and non-gameplay Build/Buy items.
In case you're not aware, the artists at Maxis only draw the concept art of CAS items and non-gameplay Build/Buy items. The actual modeling/texturing of the items are outsourced to two studios in China. If there is a need, they can certainly contract more studios to make stuff for them.
Thanks well I was thinking we would be getting a gamepack in March with bunk beds in it with the pre-patch coming with a basegame version. Now seeing this I don’t know.
Agreed. I hope we have the choice of both stuff packs and kit packs.
I like the idea of kit packs as a way of selling us odds and ends of things that we've been wanting in the game but those items weren't necessarily things that could fulfill a whole stuff pack, so we haven't gotten them yet. Odds and ends like maybe a pool table, or a musical instrument, or theme-specific cas items, or a pizza oven, or a pool slide, etc etc.
Expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs, and kit packs. All these various pack sizes and price ranges allow us the option to pick and choose what we want and/or how much we want to spend.

Many stuff packs are literally just CAS and non-gameplay Build/Buy items as well with one or two gameplay items. So we will see.
I see more: Kits are a way to deliver those micro contents that didn't fit in a SP or that have been created after a pack they would fit in was released yet.
Example: fitness clothing could have been amazing with the Fitness SP. Should they do a new fitness SP? of course NOT! People would hate them. So they will deliver fitness clothing in a kit.
Same for dust remover (they could have fit in the laundry pack or the eco pack).
Country kitchen is the only one that makes me scream at "hint" for a future farm pack or a little bonus for that horrible kitchen SP we had long time ago.
I think the chance that there'll be historical kits is extremely high. They can cater to more niche requests from the community with this new pack format.
Yes sleepwear and world kits. I ll suggest those to TheSims on Twitter.
Anyone else see this home and get reminded of the house from an old TS4 UI render? The color scheme is on point
