    Hope for a Freetime like GP, adding sewing, pottery and maybe sculping and glass blowing. Hobbies are necessary!

    Well if by some chance there is a gamepack, stuff pack, or kit, it's not going to be announced in the stream. So at this point, my bet is if there's more to the update other than bunk beds and improved traits (which has been confirmed) it will probably be a roadmap or maybe a survey/announcement of a new community voted stuff pack.


    There was also this tweet though. Which makes me think they're hiding something

    New spelling in his name: GU = GENERATIONS UPDATE






    Just take a look at the change in SimGuruFrost's avatar though! Looks like something to do with children coming if not a Generations update or expansion/game pack.

    No big packs at all, but still content for many years.

    Exactly since in the main stream we have some new thing in the trait area and auto sofas I'm thinking they heavily hinting about generations because why would they say have your ancestors sims pic in your house? It might be coming soon.

    Well we're in a new month and a new week is about to begin. I wonder if we'll get a Gamepack or Kit Announcement Next Week.

    If it's an EP, I don't think it'll come till June... :(

    Pretty sure they’d just drop kits without an announcement beforehand. They probably won’t even make trailers for future kits. We only got a trailer last time because they released 3 kits at once. A single kit isn’t something they can do a whole trailer for. They’ll probably just have short promo videos on Twitters, Instagram, etc.

    Since they can’t release kits without releasing a patch first, I don’t expect kits until late this month at the earliest. It’s unlikely they’ll release another patch so soon.

    Maybe if it's a cas or a bb pack the patch isn't needed. They said they'll release one at a time from now on...

    A patch is always needed. At the bare minimum they’ll need the patch the box art, icon, description, screenshots, and credits to the base game.

    Oh well, then maybe we won't get anything soon...

    A Kit in Late April is still soon and we know the patch is already coming with a lot of goodies.

    I'm thinking they won't listen to the backlash given on kits and do another batch of them but it could be generational pack too because when I think bunkbeds I first think kids. They did have questions a while back on activities like prom and that. Just a thought. I could be totally wrong about it too.
    Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]

    The Gurus have gone extra quiet on Twitter lately, which sometimes precedes an announcement.

    Way too late in the year for an announcement. I think we're looking to see an announcement within the next few days/weeks.

    They don't tend to announce something new during sales right? There is a sale now until 19th April (on steam) so I'm not sure we will hear anything new until then.

    They don't really tend to announce anything at the start of the fiscal year, from what I understand, which is April 1st. My prediction now is that the next pack will be the June expansion, and it'll be a romance pack called 'Romantic Getaway'. Set in a European city and also including crime, so 'getaway' can be a play on 'getaway driver' as well as a holiday. And there'll be pre-made Sims based on Bonnie and Clyde, to guide you through the new thief career. This is all based on hints I feel like they've dropped in item descriptions, and it might not be this, but either way I don't expect to hear anything until at least May for a June expansion, except maybe for a Kit release or two. I think we're having the same pack release schedule as last year now (although a roadmap to let us know would be very welcome)

    Love your prediction. I would buy that pack. What about the hints...?

    I did a thread about Paranormal item descriptions here, and there was a lot of stuff in Snowy Escape that seemed to be referencing romance and crime, sometimes together - the rug and another piece of furniture that were fighting over a bank robbery and their 'future', and a diamond thief storyline in the romantic soap they kept mentioning. Plus there was that French romance/crafts pack they released for the Sims Freeplay, so it doesn't seem impossible we'd get something similar, set in a 'romantic' destination. And if they wanted to do a Paris-themed world, adding in museums and jewel heists would be a pretty good fit, and they've already mentioned stuff like that in surveys. I would love some more romance gameplay, so I'm really hoping a romance pack of some kind is next.

    people will probably need to escort me to very soft white room of isolation if next pack has nothing to do with romance gameplay cause i swear I'm gonna turn into one of those angry blob friends from paranormal stuff out of pure frustration
