January Patch Speculation 2022 (Out Now)

I'm putting this thread up early cause I don't think we'll get a Patch in December. Maxis goes on thier long holiday break this week. I have asked SimGuruFrost to make sure though.

I think the first update of the year will be big. It may also be a Pre Gamepack or Pre Stuffpack Update. I think Maxis will announce a Pack in Early January. I'm not expecting Part 2 of Story Progression but that would be icing on the cake if it was. It may be something having to do with adding more colors. What would really be nice is for them to surprise us with cars in January ahead of a Stuff or Gamepack.

    2022, year of the tiger. Let's get a zoo pack, with dragons as a secret unlockable ala Zoo Tycoon. The patch could bring in more animals and give life to fish and frogs, or even place collectible dragon eggs throughout the worlds.

    I just want them to fix the broken gallery problem already.
    I cannot remove the household that I posted for Spark'd challenge at all and it is so frustrating.

    I'm hoping they fix the broken fireworks bug. When you use the fireworks sims T Pose. That's going to ruin New Years Eve pics for a lot of simmers.

    I’m hoping they fix the plants reverting to dirt piles bug, and the sims freezing to death in summer bug.

    I think any patch in January would be small. Unless it’s prepping an upcoming pack. I think we’ll get a Game pack as the first new addition 🤷🏼‍♂️. I love the zoo theme mentioned and it would be a new venue to visit.

    I’m beginning to think kits have replaced Stuff Packs as it’s been so long since Paranormal Stuff 🤔.
    Now alternating between Sims 2,3 and 4! 😊☕️🌞

    I still think we ll get a stuffpack cause only 1 kit has had gameplay.

    I would love to see updated babies, I have been waiting for that so long. I also want to see plants reverting to dirt piles fixed, it drives me nuts.

    A few other things I wouldn’t mind, body hair, eyelashes, and cars.

    I hope kits haven’t replaced stuff packs, being a vanilla player I always loved stuff packs, at least 1 new playable item, new clothes, new hair, and new furniture, and they used to come out fairly often, it was always fun getting them for me.

    I am worried they have replaced all the packs. I remember Gurus saying they prefer making stuff packs because CAS assets are easier to do so I can only imagine how much easier kits are. So kits can sell with less effort for more money. Why I never was a fan of microtransactions.

    I am hoping I’m wrong and that at the very least there’s one stuff pack for 2022! I’m just worried as it’s been so long.

    If they want to do CAS assets kits they should start a messaging service with avatars. For a game, I expect gameplay.

    The color update we had recently was the “customize your space with color” update

    no it wasn't a simguru said so

    Yes it was. They were talking about the big updates that we’re gonna come. Customize space with color (swatches update) then 2 more updates, new ways to play (scenarios update) and add dimension to sims life (neighborhood stories update).

    They also said that the season of selves last till the end of the year so next month is a new season.

    Unless I'm interpreting it wrong, according to the tweet by SimGuruFrost, the 1000 Swatch update was not the "Customize your Space with Color"



    The Roadmap Basegame Updates Stated:

    Enjoy Free Updates That:
    #1 - Add Dimensions To Your Sims Lives
    #2 – Let You Customize Your Space with Color
    #3 – Unlock New Ways to Play

    I'm afraid you're interpreting it wrong. When you read the tweet in its whole context, it becomes clear SimGuruFrost just meant that we would be getting 2 gameplay updates and the second (neighborhood stories) was still to expect back then.
    The Season of Selves has come to an end as it will only last through December and they're on their holidays now.
    January will bring a new Roadmap/Season of Sims.

    I can't wait to see the next road map! There might be stuff I'm not interested in, but it will still be fun to guess and speculate :)

    Does the future cube still give hints or was it just a one time thing last year? I just hope the romantic GP is released this month cause I have 2 sims I really want to marry but I’m holding off until that pack

    I don't think it will release this month since there is gonna be an inside maxis this month. So I think we will get a patch this month and maybe it will come with new scenarios, some sdx items, and maybe some new feature or something. And if one of the new kits is related to Chinese new year then maybe it will come at the end of this month since, I believe, Chinese new year is on the 1st of February.

    This will dissapoint ppl that were hoping the first pack of the new year wasn't a kit. This means that the game pack can release on the 10th of February assuming they want to release it before valentines day. With that assumption a new trailer should be released around the end of this month.

    That's just my prediction. But I'm sure I'm right about the gp not coming this month since I don't think they do inside maxis and a pack livestream the same month.

    Honestly besides the other points you listed I have a feeling it won’t be till February for valentines days too. Oh well, my sims can wait 😄
