Snowy Escape Catalog Hints

So I wondered if there were any hints in the Snowy Escape descriptions and I went through them. Take this with a grain of salt, but hints for future packs are common in the game so who knows 
These were the finds:
- There are a few mentions of robbing banks and jewel thiefs (it’s in a few descriptions, the furry rug is one of them)
- Someone named Lara Klusemann is mentioned. George Klusemann was a children’s books author.
- There are many love and relationships references throughout the descriptions. Makes sense for objects that are meant to be cosy and wintery though.
- There is a mention of someone disguised as a bellhop (Scandalous Snow Dreams nightstand), and there’s also a bellhop Simmie that you can get from the the vending machine.
- There are multiple references to weddings and a honeymoon (the Heater, Lodge table)
- Soap Opera’s and dramatic TV plots are mentioned a few times.
- There’s two mentions of a Baguette eating contest
- There is a reference to the movie Poltergeist (1982). It’s in the description of Paranormal Plates. It’s a play on the ‘Stack of chairs' in that movie.
- There’s one description that is called ‘Destination Privy’. It describes a luxurious building/resort where there’s a a mall with many shops on one floor, a sports center on another, a zoo and botanical gardens on another.
- A Barn is mentioned one time (under ‘World’s fastest table’).
Of course the bellhops are interesting because Snowy Escape lacked hotels/resorts but they were in this year’s survey. The baguette eating contest and the barn are also strange because they seem so random. The Paranormal one is also an odd one imo because the reference to Poltergeist is so obvious. And the Destination Privy could also mean something because we had the future cube hint (‘destination to elope’), the eloping patch and Malls in this year’s survey.
I personally think the rest are just fun/inspired writing, haha. What do you think?

there is 2 medieval simmie from what i have seen
i hope the romance hints are real i just neeeeed romance pack so bad
would also love past themed or occult
or hotels could go with the romance theme...
also soap opera is interesting because ts2 sort of had that vibe and i do really wish we could have that in ts4 like sims just being more dramatic about things

There are two medieval Simmies like @Simmingal said. And there's a description that mentions Ottomans, which could point to Medieval times (Ottoman Empire) maybe?
I mean it's all speculation of course but it sounds like malls, hotels, possible midevil, happy haunts, farms , robbers and romance 😌
All of these seem very fitting for a Parisian themed love getaway pack featuring hotels perhaps?
Also I decided to google this name, and funnily enough the first result is "Klusemann George. Paris Cahier du Dragon, 1974"
I'd put this down to massive coincidence, but it was surprising to see that pop up by just searching for the name itself.
Of course! I love hidden clues and the catalog descriptions so it's a win win 😂 Yes these were interesting to me too, because we've heard about almost all of those themes in surveys.
That would be cool, I hope it's something as many people seem to want that pack.
Well I could see Medieval and farming together as a pack with baguette eating contest?
I could see a hotel.wedding/romance/ honeymoon pack out of those.
I can see a mall pack
I can see a possible zoo pack or maybe a petting farm ( to go with medieval?
And I can see a paranormal pack.
The only time off the top of my head when something was hinted at in build buy was when one of the devs left a baby bottle on one of the dying out chef stations to hint that toddlers were coming.
I think it's very subjective if they do catalog hints or not. I personally believe there were hints to Pets in Parenthood (they mentioned a veterinarian career and pet hairs), several descriptions in Cats & Dogs mentioned Spring/seasons, there was a space explorer description in Eco Lifestyle (hinting at Journey to Batuu), several Realm of Magic references in Laundry Day, etc (The sims community has made articles on them). I think the seeing what you want to see is just part of the speculating. Nothing too serious here, just looking for clues in good fun
I get that it's just for fun, and I'm not trying to be rude at all, I just don't want you to set yourself up for dissappointment.
The gurus have numerous times before they don't hint at things in the object gameplay.
For every example you named, I can name dozens that were also speculated to be and never passed, like the supposed toddler book
"where is winter?" hinting at seasons, a pack that would not come out for well over a year.
I hope I'm not sounding mean, it's hard to display tone over text. It's fun to speculate, just don't set yourself up for dissappointment.
I believe they've said that they don't hint in general and well, we all know that's not true
like obviously lot of things in game never materialize how we would like them to but its more like hope that since they thought about this thing it might one day exist
example : sledding memory in nifty knitting now in snowy escape you can sled
or how there was so many pics of tropical worlds etc in the game before island living was even thing it shows they had interest in tropical aesthetics so it would be reasonable to expect actual tropical world at some point

Nifty knitting had thought bubbles about sled riding and we got Snowy Escape.
So I don't know if object descriptions has hints or not, but there are for sure hints sometimes. Maybe it's deliberate, who knows.
Well your find could very much have been a hint to the new Paranormal Stuff Pack! Great job at investigating!
Thanks! I still think the bellhop and the luxury references are hinting at a resorts theme. We'll know soon enough!
And this is the thing, because I never really thought anything of the stacked plates thing. You really don't know what's a hint and what's not, but clearly they do put hints in the CAS catalogue.
Also, I used to live in Las Vegas. A lot of the resorts there have malls/shopping attached to them. They also have botanical gardens at several properties and some have animal exhibits (aquariums, lion habitats, etc.)
Do we have descriptions from the new Paranormal Stuff Pack that we can examine for clues? I don't have Snowy Escape or Paranormal yet.
Sims now have nightmares and my sim just had one where she was in a reality show being judged lol I believe this is not the first time reality shows have been mentioned.
That's a reference to the Sparked competition and SimGuruNinja's mustache. I also saw someone posted a nightmare about being a video game developer and having the game leak out early.
Ohhh yeah that makes sense lmao
