Pets confirmed as a "not right now"

JayandMeekaJayandMeeka Posts: 2,377 Member
So as I tuned in for a few minutes to watch a Sims 4 livestream on TeamCoco's YouTube channel, the representative from Conan's show asked the Guru with him if pets were coming to the Sims 4. His response was something along the lines of "it's definitely a popular EP for sure, but it's not being worked on right now."

So you can eliminate Pets as a possibility for at least the next couple of EPs.

    Do you know at which point he references it? It's too long to watch the entire thing in one sitting haha.

    Mm well yes and no. I know they're coming at SOME point and I want them to be done right, so I'm not too disappointed. But that being said, I hope they are at least starting them. They take months and months to do an EP.

    This concerns me as usually pets and seasons start production near the first expansion pack..

    Oh that's cool, I saw this video on sims vip but I didn't have time to watch the whole thing. I like the possibility of having pets on TS4, even though I would also prefer something like seasons or generations to happen before that.
    Thanks for sharing this video ;)

    Pets is one of those EPs that need to be done right. The gurus can take as much time as they need on it for all I care. The extra time they took for Get Together was worth it. :)

    Yeah I was thinking that too. But they can't actually speak about future content so I'm at least hoping they've start concept designing.

    Any time! I was just lucky enough to catch those 10 minutes when they mentioned it haha. I would also like generations first. I know seasons and pets take a lot of time so I hope they take their time in perfecting those two EPs.

    I should agree with you.
    But I really want Pets coming into TS4 this year just because the Movie "The Secret Life of Pets". :D

    Can't help myself to promote this movie.
    Forgive me please!

    I can barely understand what he is actually saying, since with the last part of the sentence the host or whatever is yelling right through it. (he did it the whole stream). He can also say something like: but right now it's not in or whatever.

    I think it's a biased stream again, and the people streaming (aside from Grant) don't seem to have any experience with this game, so they like it and think it's so amazing and awesome. Gosh, even if they knew what this game is missing...

    Also the whole mambo yambo about emotions again, emotions aren't as ''deep'' as they want to make people believe. I don't give a plum about ''angry poo'' or whatever. And traits? Traits do nothing in this game.

    Yeah I wish I could hear what the Guru said there. Well that's just it. I do wish actions had more real world consequences than changing the emotional state of a sim.

    How exactly, though, are you translating "not working on" into "taking extra time?"

    That said, though, I say good riddance. I love my RL pets, but I always found Sim pets annoying.

    Exactly. And when it comes to traits, all Sims are basically the same. It doesn't matter which traits you pick, since it doesn't really have any effect on gameplay and behaviour, like it had in Sims 3.

    I hope they will tweak this (like ever) but I'm not counting on anything.

    It's also still very weird to me that we don't have a ''scared'' emotion in this game. I mean, come on, it's a pretty common emotion.

    I would LOVE a scared emotion in this game!

    Everything is confirmed as a not right now, they have not released any info on the third EP and won't for awhile. Even if pets were in the works that info would not be confirmed until such a pack is announced.

    I know his wording is very thought out. But the fact that they're not working on them (according to him) tells me it's probably not going to be the either of the next two EPs considering how long they take.
    So they can confirm on pets but not toddlers? I'm sorry but this is just beyond aggravating.

    Yeah it is frustrating. I wish they could just say if they're being worked on or they're not. Either way. It would end the speculation.

    You can totally hear SimGuruGrant's uncertainty in his voice when he's asked about pets.
    Ignore my lame username. Thanksss

    I hope it's not. Pets is a definite fan fav (one of my faves too), but I am well beyond the point of considering that pack with the game lacking so many other things.

    The Sims 4 has a long way to go before I make another large purchase. I remain skeptical on EP03, and might take a pass based on the first two packs.
