Unlikely, because why would we need early access videos once we get the patch and with the pack coming 2 days later? I expect it to be sometime after the livestream this Friday. Hopefully right after!
We usually see Game Changer coverage of new packs come out after the gurus's Live Play stream. I imagine most of them have already been given early access to the game so they can create their own Let's Play videos before the EA one is shown and those will start popping up soon after the stream is over. I'm looking forward to seeing their reactions to playing the new pack, as well as seeing the pack in action.
The majority of the Creator Network (aka Game Changers) usually get early access on the same day as the EP pre-patch, 14th in this case. Embargo usually lifts 24 hrs later, giving only 2 days early access to make content, or 1 day if you want to get something out as soon as the embargo lifts.
If anyone has access earlier than that (such as guest builders) they are playing the beta version of the game, not the final version. There might be other simmers that got super-early access like this, but the only people who know who that is are the players themselves.
Normally after the Livestream the embargo lifts like with the High School Years LS last year. They let the Game Changers show us previews immedienly after the LS. To be clear there are two embargos the one lifts after the livestream it's the Super Access were they get the code to play but they can only play with just the base game and not packs. They can only show you certain footage the second embargo lifts close to the patch update were simmers can play the game with the packs installed and show you anything.
I hope soon the live stream was long and I look forward to seeing what the Game Changers have to show us. There was so much info my head is still going around and around.
I'm hoping that it isn't a bad sign that the embargo hasn't been lifted. It worries me that it could be a sign of bugs or issues with the pack. But then a lot of the YouTubers who typically do the early access are running generic content now so maybe they just got access today.
A big German YouTuber said yesterday in his stream that he wasn't able to play the pack early yet, and he always gets early access, so I think early access just hasn't happened yet. I am kind of glad, I always thought it was kind of sad to watch YouTubers having fun while yourself couldn't enjoy the new content. I think early access will happen next week on Monday/Tuesday, so videos are ready when the release is just a week away.

Yes but they missed some things in the livestream that needs to be covered by game changers for one the sleeping bags.
I did not watch the last hour of the live stream. So, I don't know if they did a lot of game play. They did a lot of talking through out the live stream and not as much game play.
They don't even have early access yet, lilsimsie just confirmed on stream she doesn't have it yet. Simgurus in the stream confirmed the embargo date of 13th too. She said that people would get a temporary early access, but that it's just later than usual.
What the heck? This news is a bit of a letdown when I was hoping to see more. That two-and-a-half-hour Live Stream was a good starting point, but they barely scratched the surface when it came to showing us more about GT. Whenever EA deviates from what has been considered as normal in the past, it gives me a sinking feeling that something isn't right. And after I took a leap of faith and preordered GT! But this is certainly not the way they usually promote a new pack. Especially an EP.
Embargo lifts on Monday March 13 at 10am PT. For a small number of creators.
All other GameChangers/Creator Network will have access on release day
That's honestly a little concerning that the embargo lifts so late. Makes me wonder what they need to fix. I don't really think they're going to add in a ton of new content with only a week or so to go before release. So it seems like it's probably fixing stuff.
But maybe they're gonna change some of the odder things with the pack. Like friendship bracelets only being able to be given to one Sim. Or something.
Maybe it's a marketing technique. But I doubt it, it wouldn't be a good one. We've already had to wait since the summer for this. And they keep feeding us info a bit at the time, until that last info dump on Friday. At this point it makes sense to keep us excited by showing us more.
Check out my posts in the Ideas corner, and see the Simsverse living inside my head.
I wonder if they are fixing some bugs?
I hope they are
Well, I understand they are still working on a lot of things since this is a very complicated pack and update. But they usually give Early Access to Game Changers to help find some of the bugs so they can be addressed beforehand. I guess all we can do is be patient and hope for the best outcome.

@MichelleW I agree; would love to see the lots Deligracy & Lilsimsie did (3 each).

Wow that's a long wait. That's probably just for the three that built lots in the pack.
I hope they are

This is very concerning for me.
