    I hope it comes next week. The streams usually last only 30 mins, they’d have to show off the 2 kit trailers, and the EP and if infants aren’t out next week, they’d be part of it too. Too much for a 30min stream

    I thought the stream would be for the EP. They usually do streams when there is new gameplay involved. If there will be a patch next week as it was rumored, I think it will be for the kits and the babies will come after the stream.

    As much as I would LOVE for the infant update to come out next week, I’m thinking that the update next week is just going to address the laundry list, & then the stream will cover the infants coming out that same day. It seems too early for a stream to cover the expansion, especially when we’ll probably get at least one of the kits before its release. I don’t think the expansion will get released until the end of the quarter.

    I think babies will come first and the live stream is about the expansion. We didn't get a live stream with toddlers. I think we will get them with a patch next week with a trailer. This could also be wishful thinking.

    I do hope you're correct. I'm thinking if the Live Stream was coming first, it would have been first in the list. We do read from left to right in the USA, not right to left as others in the world do. But, again, it could also be very wishful thinking on my part. I have my Main Save with aging off, currently. I may have to play my other save for now. I feel just like a little kid awaiting Christmas!


    Yep me too! I play with aging off. I can't wait!

    I agree, I assume the infant update will be the same day as the community stream, the two kits will follow with releases in February and early March, and the EP will be released in late March. I could be completely off, but either way we still get all of these things before the end of March which is exciting!

    I have a couple of things to say about this roadmap.

    Firstly:

    I'm overwhelmed. That's a lot of happy nappies, wide eyed underwear and crowned grizzly teeth being thrown in our faces. I'm not saying I'm not happy for everyone, but it's overwhelming. Glad every item looks so clean and above all, happy.

    Secondly:


    I like this image. It looks like a small, waving human being marched around by its dear mother. On her back!!
    babybag.jpg
    It ain't so bad if this is to be part of the infant update or the new family slash generation EP as it will open up some new and interesting gameplay opportunities.
    Couple of things I'm hoping for:
    • Various Infant Carrier (or whatever they're called) designs: Will there be wicker baskets? Vintage leather bags? Those wrap-around things?
    • Can werebeasts and vampires carry it whilst super speed runnin' around in their ultimate beast forms?
    • Will sims be able to mountain climb with that thing on their backs?
    • -Go Hiking?
    • -Explore temples?
    • - Wade across streams?
    • -Go boating?
    • -Visit Batuu??

    At first I didn't find the idea of infants to be very appealing (I don't really do babies) until I began to realize how much I've always enjoyed the auld Lonewolf & Cub trope (Think Lonewolf & Cub, The Mandalorian ...etc. ).
    IF this update / EP includes adventurous infant stuff -I'd need a positive answer to all or most of the aforementioned queries- I'm in. I could make this work. In fact, I'd love it. I won't be holding me breath, but hey-ho, I always likes nice surprises!

    Thirdly:

    This thing.
    sock-animal-01.jpg

    I won't even mention the title of this leak. It's a good one. You got me there team EAxis. You got me there for a second.
    But look at the thing that modern gentleman in the skimpy clothes at the back is holding. Please tell me you've all been seeing a sock animal.
    Like this:
    sock-animal.jpg
    I know it's meant to be a pizza but it's actually not. It's a sock animal in the form of a duck ostrich and that sim is talking to it.

    Also, I truly hope this kit comes with old lady bloomers and long johns complete with butt flap. <3

    Well the roadmap showed "Community Stream" so I'm wondering if game changers/content creators made some of the houses again, or if they were involved somehow with the EP and they'll be featured on the stream.

    Wouldn't it normally save "Live Stream" and not Community Stream?

    Hm, a Generations EP and an infant update. For me... eh. Personally, I rarely do family-oriented gameplay, but it just so happens that I'm playing a family now for story reasons, so the timing is excellent for me. Here's hoping, mostly for folks who like that kind of gameplay, that it's actually good, though I'm more interested in the infant update myself, mostly because the infants are definitely lacking in many ways. But is anyone else getting just a little tired of these realism-focused EPs? Take a risk for the next EP, I say, do something different. Especially since EPs are (quite often) hit-or-miss, they might as well try something new.

    it's all relative...given that wording and all the drawings, sounds like it's almost all going to fit into family play. Of course, the babies will be the big update and I imagine will come with a few new items, but I think most of the additional items will be the theme of the kits or/and the EP.

    I think also children will be able to ride bikes in this pack and that's probably coming in the update as well.

    I'm shocked this is pointing towards a Generations EP. Between Parenthood, High School Years, Kids Room, Toddlers pack, Wedding and Nifty Knitting I thought we were getting that content already so I'm excited to see what else they could do for family players.

    Kids are still very much lacking. Kids room stuff is cute, but it doesn't add a lot for kids to do. Kids can't ride bikes, can't pillow fight, can't really play with each other. All they can do is talk and use fifty identical activity tables.

    That will change when this pack releases atleast with the bikes.

    I see what you’re saying but I think generations is the kind of content that the majority of sims 4 players want. When they release more original stuff like Eco Lifestyle and Snowy Escape it gets a mixed response. I think generations is a pretty safe one for them.

    I do agree though, my household doesn’t actually have a child so if it’s mostly focused on kids it’s one I might end up skipping.

    Seriously. "different" players are constantly getting the short end of the stick and I'm so tired of it.

    I hope the update is coming out this Tuesday. Sims team never did confirm it…there’s a chance this patch is just the laundry list update.

    I really, really hope that the addition of infants doesn’t mess things up like what happened with the HSY update. It probably won’t be a hugely long stage, but still. I’m probably going to go into my main story save before the patch tomorrow and switch aging off, or at least make a note of how long everyone has in their current life stage so that I can make adjustments if needs be.

    I just uploaded a baby outfit to curseforge, when I had to do the file I saw something interesting ;)

    loG5x1l.png

    That is the basegame version patch numbers available, we currently have the blue one which is 1.93 and there is a new one 1.94. I wonder if that is there because we might very soon get an update :)

    That’s awesome if the update does come out tomorrow or soon. It makes sense modders would know early

    What I'm hoping to see in the Expansion Pack Trailer is

    The Vibrating Heart Shaped Bed

    Pool Slides and Interactive Pool Waterfalls

    A New Working Cinema Lot

    Actual Malls

    A Carousel that isn't a rabbithole

    A Zoo our sims can go to

    Tree Houses

    See Saws

    All of these things will fit in a Generations Expansion Pack.

    I doubt shopping malls will be in generations, there was a separate list survey for malls that might come as GP..

    But I’m expecting treehouses, teen parties, more teen pranks, slumber parties, funerals, mid life crisis for adults..

    I expect big fluffy clouds and big trees. It would be so nice if sims could climb them.
