Maybe the Force could be a new skill to learn, and lightsaber battles could be similar to the duels from Realm of Magic??
Normally I'd be skeptical too. And it has been enlarged/cleaned up from what was on the Spark'd page.
However, I did see it there before they replaced it, and while it didn't look as clearly Star Wars as the cleaned up icon, the basic shapes were the same. I'd have read it as some sort of canyon with moonlight off of the initial picture on my screen. Certainly not a mountain retreat.
Now, it is possible, even plausible, that it's just a placeholder icon for the pack in progress, as when we were voting, the pack icon and name were among the last things we voted on, so they clearly wait until fairly late in the development process to determine those.
@alanmichael1 Okay, but space gameplay is not the same as Star Wars gameplay. Star Wars as gameplay does not belong in a sandbox game. Star Wars has its own lore and its own rules; it is very much someone else's story. Again, if you want to feel like you're living in a Star Wars world, there are multiple games out there to immerse you in that fantasy. The Sims should focus on the world of the Sims and making it richer for the player. Not co-opting another franchise and then stuffing it into a game pack.
Exactly, thank you. I love the weird aspect of The Sims, but to put a real franchise in it just reeks of desperation.
True. It does not. But that doesn't change that it was seen on the official web site. As I said, I can see it being some sort of temporary, internal icon used until they get an official one, however "Placeholder" doesn't equal "Fake"
Who can prove that it was really on the official site ?
They've taken it down now, but I did see it. My daughter saw me go to the Spark'd page and look at it. Many other people saw it on the page, and I'm sure there are screen shots. So either this is a vast conspiracy, or we all actually saw what we saw.
@Dakota88 I mean, I hope so. I just don't see Star Wars fitting into the rest of the Sims well. Maybe if it's their own spin on Space Travel, I could see it. But first of all, Star Wars without the myriad of creatures and locations would be so weird. And having Star Wars and vampires in the same world does not make sense to me at all. For that matter, Star Wars and Eco Lifestyle wouldn't mix at all. In general, with the exception of the alien aspect from Get to Work, the Star Wars pack would not mix with any other pack in the Sims 4 - something that cannot be said about the other expansion packs.
But I can't imagine that it's just a space pack. That wouldn't be a major first. Star Wars would be a major first, but it would just be such a bad fit for this series - outside of nods and costumes.
But we had Lunar Lakes in the sims 3 and we also had vampires and witches and faries
Lunar Lakes wasn't a based on a pack though. It was a Store World. I really hope the planet looks a lot like Lunar Lakes did with lots of geysers.

That's what it is as I think the trailer will reveal the real icon. It will look like this but with much more detail.
My mind immediately went to Tatooine from Star Wars...maybe it's an aliens or sci fi themed Game Pack...though that was done in "Into the Future" wasn't it?

None of those are Game Packs.

The thing is eloping or elopement , doesnt have to be intended only in a romantic sense. People could "elope" to outer space.
The icon looks fake.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionIt still is. I just checked.
On the blog post. It's just in the background. They didn't remove it all.
Edit:
to prove that it's today (my timezone)

(not always sims related but I review and discuss television shows and movies. Foreign or not.)
I play on console and PC now! YAY!

I'm hoping for a Teaser Tomorrow and a Trailer Tuesday.
It's looking like it will be a Space Star Wars Pack now. I'd be surprised if it's anything else.
anymore questions?
Lunar Lakes wasn't a based on a pack though. It was a Store World. I really hope the planet looks a lot like Lunar Lakes did with lots of geysers.
I just posted my screenshot too lol
They really still didn't check all the pics to take them down

LOL heh yeah, I just don't like when people saying "can you prove it" when it CLEARLY was there.
It reminds me the "New Alien Species" choice from the February 2017 survey.
