NEW ICON (LEAK???)

«1
Did anyone notice in this photo that there is a NEW ICON next to the phone? What could it be?

Does it look like an agenda? Concert schedule?

    I think they'd definitely need to add some stripped-down version of the calender for bands to function, so maybe.

    Maybe it'll be a notebook where we can write out individual sim bios again. We've only been waiting 7 🐸🐸🐸🐸 years for it.

    You may be onto something here. A note book would make sense, especially as there was also a red phone booth in the village. Maybe they are bringing back land phones and the notebook would make sense for sims to keep track of their fish and gardening collections and knowledge.

    There's already a notebook function for this as part of the phone. At least the fishing and gardening stuff (also the scientist and detective careers, and I think Strangerville)

    They could be splitting that out, though.

    Well I was thinking that maybe the cell phone becomes optional now.

    I really wish they would. Its not even a huge addition to make, its something small that would mean a lot.
    The Sims has currently lost its identity. Bring it back for TS5

    If you do an image search for "planner icon," a couple of the results are a similar design. Seems plausible that's what they're going for, though what it would mean if so, idk. Maybe something to do with scheduling events? Like setting your sim to go on a vacation 3 days in the future, that kind of thing. I don't remember if there is anything like that in this game already.

    Is this "leak" from a livestream or something?

    Edit: Actually, along the lines of band speculation, "itinerary icon" yields a result or two that's even closer in style, I think, like this one: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.dpaNzDuYETdPed5jNwbL6gHaHa&pid=Api&f=1

    So that could fit with bands, like a concert tour itinerary.

    That would be amazing, and would kind of make sense for an off-the-grid/simple life pack, but because I'd be so happy with it I'm not going to dare to hope for it.

    There were red phone boxes in the trailer. Unless they are some kind of modern take on phone boxes that are converted into a public book case or an internet cafe desk, I think we are getting land phones.

    It kinda looks like a Planner/agenda.

    I agree that it looks like a planner! I hope it is a least!

    I think its a notebook of some kind! I just caught something from the Harold blog post about Cottage living and it says this:

    "You will find that this part of town is perfect to have a lot with a garden and space for livestock and oversized crops! You can always take notes as you stroll around the area and see how the townsfolk are doing with their gardens and plots"

    This is the second paragraph under the picture of New Old Henford. Maybe this will tie into the errands/tips for gardening?

    In Inside Maxis livestream.

    "itinerary icon" I like the way it looks. I think there are several tracks that allude to the bands.

    Although it could also have to do with the new EP

    I wonder if it's a notebook/diary where you will takes notes about the things sims are telling you when you're going around town talking to different sims and getting information for the "quests/missions/errands" thingy?

    It looks like a stove to me. Maybe it's a recipe book?

    If not a planner, maybe an oven.

    I too was wondering if it was a notebook for the quests you do for the townfolk. Like a checklist of what you still need to do and to see quests that you've done, like with a striked out line across tasks you've completed.

    @catloverplayer The calendar is next to the phone. This icon is different. I don't think they make a different icon for the calendar.

    @Chazzzy I don't think it's food related, no hint of that and it definitely doesn't look like an oven, haha. It looks more like an errand notebook as @AncientMuse @Chicklet453681 says

    Or maybe it's a future update. Remember that the schedule was leaked, but the base game update has not arrived yet. I'm still hoping it's some kind of an itinerary to plan vacations, birthdays, events, maybe even concerts if we have bands.

    Maybe it's something involving the update for more family/group activities? If you have seasons, I know the calendar shows upcoming events, birthdays and holidays, so I'm not really sure why they'd need a planner of any kind unless they are separating the two...

    Now something like a recipe book, with the group activity cooking coming up? And Adults being able to teach children about gardening... Maybe it's relating to skills altogether? Idk, just thoughts haha

    Notebook would be kind of lacklustre, Sims makes notes in gardening, the fashion career but not in the journalist career!? The notebook is in the detective career where it is essential and also regarding fishing, where it is kind of neh, if you are not really in to fishing. What purpose would this added notebook have?!
