Well why would they include motives of leaves, rain drops and even a thunderstorm as a pattern option?

I'm sure we'll get Seasons, probably next year because it usually follows Pets, so we don't need hints.
Yes but why did they choose to add weather symbols?
I think you're reaching.

It is only for pets. They said there were no plans to implement it for the Sims CAS. So that's unfortunate, though I can't be surprised anymore.
Are you being sarcastic?
I hope not, because knitting would be awesome
You forgot to add that we can also bring our pet freezer bunny with us on our Summer vacation on Saturn.
Yes, I am pretty sure she is being very sarcastic.

There is also poop, does that mean the next pack will be poop and suck? Why else would they put poop if not a subliminal message of what the next pack quality will be?
Seriously, sometimes I think people read too deep into things, it's just patterns, for people that want to make pets that look like carebears mixed with ponies.
If you see a drop of water and want it to be a hint for a seasons pack, then go for it. But that drop could be a water drop from a leaky facet which could indicate a plumbing pack.
> Those are just symbols for you to add to your pet. There's also a Saturn symbol, does that mean we're getting a Space Exploration Pack?
We can already travel to an alien world in Get To Work.
No, some things aren't a hint. They have stated several times that they don't hint.
If that's true, then that pretty much shuts down this whole discussion.
How? The Sims is a game very loosely based in reality. It's more or less a real life simulator. Whether or not it was intentional, there's going to be things that look like they're going to be in a pack due to previous iterations, but that doesn't mean it's a hint. If a child Sim gets a shirt with robots on it, that doesn't mean we could be getting a pack about robots. It could be added simply because you expect RL kids to like robots.
If you took real life as a whole and then took away aspects for it, say weather, there's still going to be things that are like weather. Like turning a hose on a spray nozzle and aiming it up at the air.
We see cars all around the game, but that doesn't necessarily mean we could be getting them. I would take seeing a DLC related to vehicles on a survey and a Guru asking us for ideas on vehicle gameplay than the in-game models themselves as a clue. They're obviously there to add to the enviroment, not be a hint to something.
If we took everything we see in the game as a hint to something, it only raises expectations and could end up with more disappointed people.
Take City Living. It was released November 1st of 2016 while Newcrest was released June 11th of 2015. At the moment, now it could seem that Newcrest was a reference to City Living with the high-rises in the background, but before City Living came out, I doubt you could honestly say then that it really was a hint.
For this case, I agree with @MissCherie, it strikes me as designs they'd give to Simmers that want to do a recreation of cartoon animals. For example, take Disney's Bolt.
And just in case there's room for misinterpretation I'm not against speculating for Seasons. I'm not against speculation as a whole, actually. I want the EP as well. In the Sims 3, I had Seasons on full blast, all settings turned up high, all weathers activated. I'm not trying to be rude, but I just think it's a bit puerile to look at CAS items, kids toys, decorations, etc as clues.
Edited for spellcheck.
They have denied things are hints before but they turned out to just be stringing people along. And in the recent interview with Simguru Drake she admitted that nothing they do is subtle because the community picks up on the hints right away. They do hint. They have to deny they are hints because they can't reveal any info before the appointed time. Do we expect them to actually say "yep you guys, that's a hint about pets!" Obviously they can't say that. That's why they said silly things like how the toddler render didn't mean toddlers were coming. If you really believe them every time they deny a hint... okay then. Nothing I say will convince you.
