    I kind of hope that the theory about the pack theme being true but the content being a placeholder is false/a placeholder. I'm betting the fan that came up with the content originally has correctly guessed some of the pack's content regardless. So I'm betting that there will be at least a little truth to the content simply because the original fan is a great guesser. It could even be that they correctly guessed EVERYTHING, but more is going to be added as well.

    I hope IF they are going to include surfing that it won't be tied to an object.

    I also am still very curious if they are even able to pull of a nice tropical world with Ocean Swimming and an ''open feel'' with The Sims 4.
    I know we should not get our hopes up to get boats and all that stuff like we had in Sims 3. I don't see them doing that in Sims 4 when we don't even have cars yet.

    Maybe they will introduce round pools as a new feature with the pre-patch, who knows.

    I don't believe anything about this leak. I also don't know anything about programming or computers but a small part of me hopes that this 64 bit change taking place will somehow allow the team to make Sims 4 not just a watered down version of it's predecessors. Like I said though, I don't know how changing the processor Sims 4 uses will affect the game.

    The other part of me says that when we do get any pack it WILL be a watered down version of packs before, as this is a game that couldn't even do snow depth (not something I care about but I remember people being mad about it) and won't allow us to build apartments or have non-controllable roommates.

    I do hope a tropical pack and university come out soon so we can all stop sounding like broken records. The faster they come out the faster we can all start complaining about how they aren't exactly what we wanted 😂

    Thats exactly what I am afraid of too.

    With the Sims 4 they have nice ideas in mind, but when they make it, it's always extremely watered down and full of trade offs.
    I doubt that will be different this time around I am afraid.

    IF we get surfing, it will probably be with a surf machine object like we had before. I would imagine that with this limited game engine, it would be almost impossible to create a realist looking wave large enough for a sim to surf on. So, the machine may be the answer. I hope it will be able to be placed in pools as well as the ocean.

    sorry, not a fan of occults in my game

    It says expansion pack, witches will probably be a game pack. So there's still possibility.

    I'd be fine with this. I liked that object. Plus at least your sims could surf at home

    I didn’t get the information off a speculation thread in the forums; I don’t even know where that is. I found it on the sims community page:

    If this is true, colour me excited! A beach vacation world has been on my wishlist for ages. I like the new dance style and the traits which suggest we will be able to swim in the sea - fingers crossed! I would like more beach related activities too e.g. diving, sunbathing, sandcastles etc. I was also hoping for boats and hotels, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

    The first post in this thread is the one we're talking about https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/957114/a-mysterious-expansion-pack-coming-in-june-2019/p1
    Note that the post was created as far back as March. You may also want to compare it to the sims community post you just linked.

    Sims 4's biggest flaw right there in the bold text. Couldn't agree more, Sims 4 could've been better but only a new game AKA Sims 5 will they be able to build the better foundation. Once you build on a foundation you can't improve it, the building can only get taller but the worse the foundation the more likely it will collapse with all your hard work. And Sims 4 is truly showing it over the years with vast limitations and lackluster DLC. Not to mention the Simulation Lag that's still not addressed all these years. Modders have to do everything with this iteration of The Sims.
    1. The Sims 2
    2. The Sims 3
    3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
    4. The Sims 1

    Is it wrong to hope Tropical Paradise comes with parrot pets in it? :p
    I'd love this. And maybe hermit crabs, starfish and seahorses, too.

    And more fish tanks! Preferably salt water ones to match the fish of an island world.

    @Simpkin I agree. If the leak proves to be correct, I think the next expansion will be the University EP and will be released in November in time for the holiday sales push.
    @Paigeisin5
    but there was supposed to 1 ep, 1 gp and 1 sp for the year. I guess we have to wait and see. I was hoping they'd announce something today.

    The engine of Sims 4 is so limited because it was originally intended to be an online multiplayer game and multiplayer games ARE limited in terms of customization and advanced features.

    This.

    I still want that dive tank we had in S1. I loved that thing. It was like a human aquarium. To do it differently this time around, they could make it a pool that could be added to a community lot where sims could learn to dive.

    I hope this is true with more added of course...lol I really hope they add in hotels, honeymoon suites, boardwalk games where we can win stuff animals, scuba diving, jet skiing, wishful thinking but a boat cruise that island hops, wishful thinking a helicopter ride over volcanoes, luaus with a pig roast hula dancing, fire dancing, new drinks pina coladas, strawberry daiquiris, Hawaiian blue drink, etc Ocean swimming, floaties, and so much more. I really want to see some pink sand beaches and black sand beaches as well as the traditional golden sand.

    As for college, I have already decided I might buy Uni but my sims will not go unless it is set up like sims 2 where I can send them all to college even if they are not in the same household.

    If the Pack at least is real, even if the content list isn't, I'll be extremely disappointed if it doesn't include mermaids.
    Helll, we only even had a single mention of mermaids on the first page so it kinda makes me wonder if it's just something a few simmers like myself want.

    I want them too! My favourite lifestate from TS3, and occult players really don't have a lot of options right now, just vampires and aliens. Especially if they did mermaids similar to how they did vampires, I think it would be great! They aren't as requested as witches, but I'm hoping they do a GP for that in October for Halloween.

    This is just wishful thinking, and I said this somewhere else (but might have been here), but ideally I'd like to see:

    June 2019 - Tropical themed EP that opens up swimable beaches and water sports as well as mermaids as a playable lifestate!

    August 2019 - A tiny house stuff pack with hippie clothes and build items that are purposefully smaller or dual function: bunk beds, loft beds, combo toilet/shower stall
    combo fridge/stove, combo couch/bed, half-size tub you can still bathe toddlers in, etc. I've just seen a lot of tiny house builds rise in popularity in video streams and think it would provide neat content :)

    October 2019- Witches GP similar to vampires. Would be cool if it was a combo that included fairies, but I wouldn't want them to stuff too many lifestates in it. Rather wait for individual packs if it means giving each lifestate a lot of attention.

    November 2019 - Universities-esque EP that includes college, dorms and boarding school for teens and kids.

    In 2020 I'd like to see a GP for werewolves. Maybe they could even expand the idea and have a few were sim options, like werewolf, werecat, and like were dinosaur or werebird or something. I've also heard people toss out farming as an EP that would include horses.

    I agree with this! Everyone regardless of interest gets something that they want. Family/Generation players could have University for their teens and up (hopefully), people who are fans of tropical packs would get one, and supernatural fans would get something as well! I know these things don't necessarily apply to EVERYONE but it does for the most part.
