Romance Pack Hints

83bienchen83bienchen Posts: 2,554 Member
Do you remember the future cube hints that were added a while ago? When you read them now, they were clearly hinting at Cottage Living with this one:
I see a gnome wielding a frozen rabbit riding atop a llama into battle against an udder'ly impressive foe. (new gnomes, rabbits, llamas, cows)

By now the only one that remains unsolved is this one:
The most popular destination to elope is not yet known.

While I think it possible that they might have meant the ruins in the Bramblewood that come with a special sentiment if you get romantic there, I still think this is probably hinting at a Romance Pack that is already in development, because the Bramblewood ruins are really not that special and popular is also a weird term for some abandoned place in the woods (though the German term "heimlich" would actually fit pretty well). I'm still thinking of a Paris themed world for a Romance Pack and this would fit the future cube result extremely well.

Now with the new 100 baes challenge, there's one more hint towards a romance pack coming soon.

Another sign of a Romance pack being in the works is the preferences system they added lately. I'm convinced they gave us part of it in advance because they are planning to make use of it in the Romance Pack and maybe wanted to get a bit of it out in advance to see how it is received and if there are any serious flaws that have to be fixed for the Romance Pack, also that way they would not have to do all everything at once.
That would also explain why they didn't add on to the system yet since they released it (except for enabling existing wellness preferences for children, which was super easy) if they are carrying our feedback into the pack to be released.

What do you think? Might we be getting a Romance Pack as the next bigger pack (GP or EP)?

    there is also lots of items with romance mentions in build buy since few packs back

    and Agnes, the queen herself, could be also considered to be hint as she is romance pack npc originally

    i just wish all these little hints would actually materialize into romance pack already

    I think we'll be getting a romance system with something else, and probably soon.

    By "with something else" I mean that the pack (probably) won't be just the new romance system + attendant build/buy and CAS. It may be as small as just a new destination world in a game pack, or it may be something more complicated like Hotels/Casinos (& Heists? I can only hope)

    But this 100 Baes challenge, especially given that per her first episode it was designed with EA, is definitely giving me romance pack vibes.

    (Just please not with Werewolves under some sort of "Animal Attraction" idea. I don't want the Normal players demanding the nerfing of my precious Werewolves.)

    Then again, I've been sure we were getting a school based pack/update for about a year now, and that hasn't happened either.

    The difference between a school pack and a romance pack is that they are actually promoting this silly 100 baes challenge. They never promoted any school related anything so far, not even when they release Discover University pack. The possibility for a romance pack is very high I say.

    With hotels, I could see them go the more rustic B&B in Vermont kind of deal, or a Vegas let's elope and get married by a Judith Ward impersonator at a little Chapel of love and have the more cheerier love themed stuff like vibrating beds. Though only the former seems at a scale more likely to include a management aspect people seem to want when they mention hotels.

    Barring hotels, I could see them adding it as part of a Paris themed world, maybe "labours of love" that also focuses on arts, music and/or fashion?

    Ive been thinking we are going to get a Romantic Getaway pack for awhile now, and lately gamechangers like Dr Gluon and James Turner have been building hotels. I have been wondering if they know something, especially since Gluon got his very own item description mention recently with the Fezz we got in i think Cottage Living.

    I think this is why when they updated cuddling in bed, they left off watching tv while cuddling too, cause its coming with this pack.

    Either way i think its coming soon now.
    I think thats why they chose to do Spas before Outdoor Retreat even though OR came out first. Spas go in hotels, and also need to get those nails done for the hot date and hope the date likes the color lol Also the hotel/resort thing by itself would elevate OR before they refresh it, so they'll have a better idea of more things for that refresh, like hopefully things that are super compatible with a hotel/resort/lodge. Or maybe they already have those ideas and released Spas first because new OR features make more sense when hotels are a thing, or cross compatible features would give away the new pack too soon.

    I see a gnome wielding a frozen rabbit riding atop a llama into battle against an udder'ly impressive foe. someone else posted on the forums a while back that this was probably a reference to Spark'd because the people who won got a statue of a frozen rabbit riding atop a lama.

    And as for the second one... The most popular destination to elope is not yet known. sounds a lot like Update 9/3/2020 which made it possible for sims to elope in destination worlds.

    That's OK, when create a world comes, I'll create more custom US worlds since international worlds (created by Sims teams) will all be added

    You may be on to something. Simlicy also built a hotel last week. Hotels and romance would be lovely and they would be amazing if they add casinos too.

    The ones i mentioned were doing it last week too lol Weird how they were all doing the same thing. Reminds me of when everyone suddenly started building Japanese houses right before Snowy Escape dropped. And some of them turned out to be actually building for that world. Others were building for a mod that turned Forgotten Hollow in to a Japanese world.

    Same with Cottage Living too. People started building farm and cottage stuff and just like there was a mod for a Japanese world, Arnie made a farm mod that was coming out lmao

    I think they tell some of the Game Changers about future content. Like how Lilsimsie did a video reviewing Spa Day a couple weeks before the they announced the Refresh.
    If a lot of Game Changers are talking about Hotels, then that's definitely a hint.

    In this Era of 'refreshes', maybe they wanna do Island Living next. They'd better not for their integrity though.

    personally disagree, I do wish the next refresh to be DO or OR, but if talking about EP's , IL is not far away from needing one.

    My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
    Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
    My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
    Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

    I don't say IL doesn't need a 'refresh'. I say they'd better don't place hotels (those that are hinted at by GC) there, since the main feature of the pack is the restauration of the island and giving it back to the local fauna/flora, not adding more pullution (at least visual). That's the direction they took, I hope they stick to it.
    But if they gave a skill tree to mermaids, THAT would be cool!

    Sorry, I misunderstood then :)

    Still hard to imagine Hotels at anywhere else.. in Granite Falls , sure, but so little amount lots.. maybe motels .. like the fake one in SV .. or CL.. SM would need a couple of fancy hotels.

    I rered myself and this was unclear, blame's on me ^^'

    I mean, this could also not be a refresh and come with it's own E.P. (I can't see such a big feature coming in a G.P.), or be added to the base game as a possibility for builders, with a pack using them to their full extent.
    If the future cube is refering to this (eloping) and if hotels are a thing down the road, maybe it's really gonna be a pack about romance and honeymoons in a vacation world built for this.

    I'd like to be pushed around a little more on that end (romance) by the A.I. instead of clicking mindlessly 20 times to get to the right amount or romance points, with te other sim interrupting it to go play video games in the middle of it... because TS4. I'd like to be rejected if I'm careless, or if I neglect for too long.

    I feel everything about this post. Especially the gif. At this point, I'm just sick of hoping though. I'm just like "right, call me when it's done". Maybe Covid messed up their production, but if all these hints really are hints, I'm just sick of waiting for it now.

    I still hope the wolf eel/wolfsbane/phases of the moon things will materialise into a Werewolves pack beforehand though. They can have some references to 'animal attraction', leading to a romance EP in...December? Christmas would be a nice time for a romance pack. But then it would also be a nice time for lots of other packs.

    Yeah I was wishing for Werewolves to have some fun new thingies for occulty Halloween

    but if it is unexpectedly romance pack next then honestly i have to jump ship because ive been waiting for it since the freaking first day of playing sims 4 and realizing there is no couple dancing.. and then realizing all the other romance stuff missing TT

    so many times they could have added some and at this point i might just go into eternal hibernation waiting

    hope if its hotels too it isn't another troll like get together cause idk if i can have another " this really sounds like it could add romance but it doesn't!"

    Only if it brings back the Heartshape Bed, Cuddles in Bed, Making out in Bed & other romantic interactions.
    As well as, Wedding Veils, Tiaras, Baby Breath Flowers in hair, New Wedding Dresses, Groom Suits, Flower Girl Dresses,
    Ring Barrel Suits, Bridesmaid Dresses & Grooms Men Suits. And finally the Honeymoon Romantic World.
