To our Simmers,
Last week, we shared the below update about our upcoming game pack “My Wedding Stories.” At the time, we believed that our team could not freely share the storytelling of same-sex couple Cam and Dom in Russia and decided the best way to uphold our commitment to sharing their story was to not release this pack there.
Since then, we’ve been listening to the outpouring of feelings from our community including both support for our decision and concern for their fellow community members. It’s equally important for us to stand by our values, including standing against homophobia, and to share stories like this with those who want and need it most.
With this in mind, we’ve reassessed our options and realized we can do more than we initially believed and we will now release The Sims 4 “My Wedding Stories” Game Pack to our community in Russia, unaltered and unchanged, featuring Dom and Cam.
We want the entire Sims community to be able to celebrate together, so we're pushing the global release of "My Wedding Stories" to February 23 - including in Russia.
Love is love, and The Sims community will continue to be a safe space for those who want to see a world where that is true for everyone. We are thankful for the support of our team and our values even when it is hard. Thank you for being a part of The Sims.

Does this mean I have to continue my challenge to write my Cottage Living story before it releases

I agree and hope that is the general consensus.
Well, they had a new letter above it for a moment. Wonder if they moved it? Let me look for a new link

With this in mind, we’ve reassessed our options and are now actively working to release The Sims 4 “My Wedding Stories” Game Pack to our community in Russia, unaltered and unchanged, featuring Dom and Cam.
We want the entire Sims community to be able to celebrate together, so we're pushing the global release of "My Wedding Stories" to the week of February 21 - including in Russia. The exact date will follow soon.

I will wait unhappily.
It would be a good time to fix some of those issues that cropped up in the livestream... at the very least.
Aparrenly they thought they could not do it.
Well, such is life. I hope when the pack gets here it makes you happy enough to be worth the wait, then.
I think they just obey to the infamous "law", show an empty cover and put an 18+ badge on it.
I won't hold my breath, but it would be nice to get some clarification on it all directly from EA.
They prayed to Torch for help, and his fire and warmth melted everyone's frigid hearts.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
After the livestream I don't think so 😳😁
After this I hope they reassess their priorities back to gameplay rather than selling representation (TM). Say whatever you want, but at the end of the day it's a game for all simmers to create their stories.
Edit: prioritize gameplay that happens to have representation. Not the other way around.
I'm being silly and old, but it does all make me rather miss the days when games were just games.
1) Everyone will get the pack
2) GC's now will probably have a bit more time and will make proper reviews
3) I hope they'll give this pack some last minute fixes 'cause let's be honest livestream showed that they are needed
Glitches for everyone, glitches galore!
