The Sims' 21st anniversary is coming up in a few days on February 4th. After last years atrocious hot tub incident, do you think this years anniversary will be an exciting success or a downright dumpster fire?
EDIT: Just wanted to clarify that no one is owed anything. I'm not sure where some are getting the idea that I or others that look forward to The Sims anniversary deserve something. The reason I posted this was because the big 20th anniversary was so poor that I figured maybe they would do something nice this year.

or we get something small and nice
because they have yet to start bragging about "fun surprise" which they usually do when there is either awesome update or absolute dumpster fire update
the silence is either to not spoil the fun or to imply there is no fun

I mean, I get that 20 is a Big Deal in the gaming industry. And I completely understand why people were upset about them basically gutting the primary reason to get Perfect Patio stuff. But... the precedent for some sort of Big To Do really wasn't there as far as I could find, so I'm still fuzzy on why people were expecting one.
I mean, wasn't one "birthday" item for the Sims 4 a shelf?
Anyway, I'm expecting something small and perfunctory. Not a roaring success, and only a dumpster fire if the fans make it so.
With all the garbage packs they've been releasing lately, the least they could do is surprise us with something great for the game's 21st anniversary.

Rule #1 with creating a survey, never provide a middle ground! haha Most people lean slightly more to one side so when you take out the middle option, it forces them to choose and provides better data
But I get where you're coming from haha
Thank you 🤓 i'll def take advantage of today's lesson 😊
I'm not necessarily looking for something big. I don't get why they couldn't release 5 throwback objects from the previous Sims games.
Heart shaped hot tub
Vibrating heart bed
Original Piano
Dancing cage (Sims House Party)
The Electro Dance Sphere from Sims 2 Nightlife
A TRADITIONAL DIVING BOARD!
The Kids Oven (Sims 2)
There are so many more I could list that would be fantastic throwback items to celebrate how far the game has come. The problem with The Sims 4 is they seem to try to erase any previous Sims game and pretend they didn't exist. I would kill for an Expansion Pack that brought back items and interactions from all previous Sims games.
I remember learning that years ago in a communications class haha But it definitely comes in handy!
How about they release new counter tops that match the current bars! I'd even be happy with that! haha
"You Make The Sims! We're celebrating all of our amazing Simmers, because you're the ones who make The Sims what it is!"
Then a button "See Community Creations" that takes you to the Gallery.
I don't have my hopes up... Haha
oh yeah i saw they also posted something like that on twitter and cringed
not a very good start

Last year reactions for the hot tub were embarrassing. We got it for free, but some people threw toddler tantrums because they didn't like it or they wanted more. Too much drama, I hope it won't happen again.
I think the biggest issue with it was the fact they released an object for free that was exclusive to Perfect Patio Stuff. I also know people were unhappy because the hot tub was too over the top to really work with builds.

For their 10th anniversary they added the heart bed to the Sims 3 but it wasn't even a free gift you had to buy their new stuff pack for it. Their anniversary celebrations have never been anything sensational so don't expect any great update as you will just end up disappointed. This anniversary will most likely just be a bar with plumbobs on it as a reference to the game turning 21.
