    in The Sims 4 Speculation and Rumor
    As you may have already seen on the blog post or livestream, last night we got a free "carribean themed" patch.
    Do you guys think it's a hint or a preparation to a beach game pack? It would make sense as a Seasons follow up adding beach activities to the summer. What do you guys think?

      I don't think so. The last game pack we recived was a vacation themed pack and I doubt they will release two themes on a row. Also I think this is just a way to engage more with the community since the community of The Sims was soo diverse

      I had another idea about vacations. For the devs mostly combined known features with new ones for Sims 4 I thought: What about vacation on a cruise ship? Like in RL the Sims could have food (i. e. long buffet tables), fun (i. e. slot mashines) and entertainment (i. e. stages with shows, bands or magicians...). And instead of one vacation world they could be different destinations, like sightseeing in Asia or Egypt, diving in the Caribbean and more...

      No. If anything, the content in this update seems to have been salvaged from a canceled stuff pack, given the speculation that TS4 stuff packs have come to an end.

      I'd like a cruise ship type vacation, only I'd like something a little more old fashioned.

      I'd like a cruise like the one in the Agatha Christie movie "Death On The Nile". A smaller, old fashioned cruise ship with cabins and fine dining and a murder mystery to solve. It could come in a Murder Mystery pack along with another vacation where someone is murdered, The Orient Express. Everything happens on a train as you speed through Europe. And your sim must ask questions and figure out who the murder is before the end of the trip.

      If we have a Vacation Pack I hope it's where beaches are and we get hotels and finally swim and surf and boogie board at the beach. Wow we can't say Va-ca? Really?

      This could be an expansion! As? We would have a cheap and an expensive cruise, if you select the cheap, you are actually selecting to trigger a wreck event. Then the expansion would be Sims 4 Castaway. aaaa

      A vacation pack with more than one designation to go to like Cleo60 said. I like in sims3 were you were able to choose Egypt, China or France you could mix it up..Sims4 just to have one designation to vacation gets boring, Caribbean they can add swimming, snorkeling etc all the things you can do to have fun diving, then also add 2 more choices of another country if they did that we would be able to choose were we want our sims to go mix it up from time to time and it wouldn't get boring....

      Yes!!! I'd love a beach vacation version of Outdoor Retreat really. Would also enjoy it if we could run our own hotels too (similar to Island Paradise for TS3)

      Yes! Mostly because I am hoping to go on a cruise in the future. My parents went and loved it. Although I'm not sure how it would work without an open world. The houseboats on Sims 3 were an amazing idea but there were so many bugs, and it was near impossible to play them in any world other than the one that came with the specific pack.

      I've been doing my best to read between the lines of new content descriptions along with guru tweets. I think that we can almost certainly bet that there is an expansion coming with a winter resort world (hopefully including things such as skiing, snowboarding, *hot chocolate*) etc. Whether or not this would be a game pack or proper expansion I am not sure. But I do believe I have found hints that it could also sport a beach themed resort world as well. Therefore, differentiating from outdoor retreat and jungle adventure in the sense that they are "adventure type" worlds, and this ep would be more about relaxing aka perhaps "Sims 4 Resort Life" or something of the sort. This would make the most sense, and therefore I would heavily expect it to include two worlds, an alpine resort, and a tropical resort." Just my thoughts on it, from info I have gathered.

      I hope this isn't the case. I'm still waiting for a pool stuffpack.

      I feel like it was just to release items to appeal to the more diverse community. Super excited about the afro curly hair. I was born in the Caribbean, so I feel really appreciated lol

      It's certainly got me hankering for a tropical island world, but that could just be wishful thinking on my part. Still, for those of us who have been asking for magic and/or witches with a "different" slant (eg, voodoo, etc), I could imagine a tropical island world going well with a magic/witches game pack.

      The short answer is no.

      Why release a Caribbean Update if there is no Caribbean Beach World coming at some point? This stuff screams vacation especially the build mode stuff like the Leaf wallpaper,plant,ceiling fans and sliding doors

      Yeah, but The day of the dead update didn't bring anything with it. No pscks related to it were released.

      I'd say Spooky Stuff and Vampires helped with Day of the Dead since both have things that can be used with it eg gravestones with fog.

      The Halloween content can't be counted like Holiday Celebration Pack updates.
      They exist because of the calendar.

      Generally the content is added before a pack is released, for example :
      • Monster under the bed -> SP07 Kids Room Stuff
      • Glass roofs -> EP05 Seasons

      But the content may also be different than the next packs :
      • Nanny NPC doesn't match to SP08 Backyard Stuff but it was developed with Toddler Update.


      Just that means Maxis plan to release more Caribbean content maybe or not in a near future.

      No, I don't think this means we will see a beach pack soon. I think these items were supposed to be their own individual Stuff Pack, but that they didn't feel like many people would actually buy this Caribbean themed pack, and instead decided to choose a few items and release them in an update for free.

      Sure, but the Carribean update isn't a celebration, it's a tropical theme. Day of the dead was like the christmas free update.

      Probably not, but I'm still sure that we'll get some sort of beach theme game pack down the road (not too sure what kind of content to expect from that though... it sounds a bit boring).

      No, I don’t think so, but I’m hoping that we get swimmable oceans, an island or beach world, and mermaids someday in the future (maybe in another year or so). :smile:

      Why not this year? We likely have another Gamepack and Expansion before year's end. One of those could be it. The fact that sun tanning and sunburns was left out of Seasons makes me wonder if a Beach Vacation Pack could be around the corner.
