New Roadmap Horses, Apartments, New free world?

I had a feeling a new roadmap was coming soon. With everything they promised was happening at the summit and then it turning out that concept art was only of growing together, there's likely a lot that's supposed to come out this year. Especially as they try to get as much money as possible out of us b4 brining the new game out.

They've been teasing horses and fairies. We have another promised expansion pack. I don't remember if they mentioned a new gamepack. But neither of those works on their own as an expansion unless somehow tied together or involving buffing up a lot of other previous content.

So I have the feeling this year will be a lot of little things that don't seem like they make sense, meant to not only get our money, but to tie into the bigger content.

They gave us more body modification so we got Simtimates kit for things to wear on these bodies that reflected more types of people. Bathroom clutter kit works well if you are doing more for a family build. Especially for kids and teen bathrooms.

These new kits will probably tie into the new content we're getting and maybe what we just got.

Also the packing and everything made me think of apartments especially since that one on the bottom left kind of looked like a building, but also a weird shirt so idk. But it's obviously moving somewhere. And says take me home. Who knows? Maybe that's the update. A new lot type. Or another Newcrest type world that's more city like where you can place apartments and condos and own them. Newcrest was an update.

Because what do we know now?
4 New kits
1 Hot Update (As opposed to the rest of the updates that won't be as hot but will probably happen in terms of patches, sdx, etc.)
A bunch of moving boxes with not only labels on them in simlish, but images on the corners. If the labels are names that's one thing, but if they are for specific rooms (thinking like you're moving) then those images aren't for the move and likely have more to do with the new kits or the update coming than just whatever the moving thing is. Plus there's the items on the boxes.

The images are:
1. A leaf with a roof over it
2. What appears to either be a bookshelf or a singular building with many windows
3. A clipboard with a torn page or a tablet/window with broken glass
4. A tablet without a broken screen
5. And either a weird shirt or a bunch or buildings together that look a little batlike in shape
On top you have books, a potted plant, and a hoodie.

I can't really understand the images but there's 5 of them, and 5 new things talked about in the roadmap. We already got one non-gameplay plant kit. Perhaps this is a gaemplay one. Maybe a lot of these are.

The fact that two of the images seem to be the same object only one is broken and the other repaired might mean that the final thing is the moving concept itself. Leaving the bookshelf and weird shirt building ones to be looked at.

Plus you have to wonder how all this ties into the bigger picture for this year, all their promises, and all the teasing. Because while fairies and horses were teased heavily. And this plant thing could relate to either eventually, who knows? Apartments were teased enough that people thought, and hoped they'd show up in GrwT. Or that they might be the next expansion, with the previous 2 as gamepacks.

This moving, take me home, thing isn't really stopping that idea. Anyway this is just me organizing my thoughts.

    Ok so in the base game of the sims 4 I want a fire truck that comes to your sims house when there’s a fire 🔥 a carpool for sims with a job as a tech guru that comes to your sims house when it’s time to go to work 💻 a school bus for child and teen sims that comes and picks up high school students and grade school students from their houses 🚌 and a police car that comes to your sims house when there’s a burglar there 🚓 please add them in the future

    The leaf with the roof made me think greenhouses but we can already make those can't we? I might be mixing up games here but still doesn't sound like something new. Fairies would be a fun addition though.

    Really hoping this is the year for horses/unicorns! I've liked the kits so far so I'm honestly looking forward to them, though I do miss stuff packs.

    I wish there will be an update for eyelashes. I don't know why they added the body hair without adding the eyelashes.
    It's also very strange to see kittens / puppies to eat dry food immediately after they were born. I think Sims 4 should also add an infant stage of pets, the owner or mother cat/dog needs to feed those infant pets in every 2 hours

    They were? I must’ve missed that. What was the tease, if I may ask? I don’t want to watch the trailer again lol

    He might. It still doesn’t really explain why all that is missing from TS4 when they were literally all of the things that made the game a sims game.

    But yeah. TS3 IS good. Much better than 4 anyway. They probably would enjoy it a lot, actually.

    While simmers are waiting for Horses in Sims 4, I recommend playing Sims 3 Pets.
    Appaloosa Plains was always one of the beautiful worlds in Sims 3, plus it had Horses & Unicorns. <3;)

    Several objects hinted at fairies, like the tiny mushroom house and teddy bear fairy that has a “unicorn best friend.”

    There’s also the addition of the tooth fairy as a gameplay option for children and a lot of wall decor with depictions of the tooth fairy and fantastical worlds.

    Also Iron Seagull on YT found a spot in San Sequoia with fireflies that has a strange sound effect play at a certain time of night. They think it sounds mystical but idk it just sounds odd—so I’m not sure about that one.

    I’d love to have eyelashes for the sims 4 also I’d also love to see more apartments and hotels and casino’s

    Okay, so it seems:
    Take_Me_Home_HEader.jpeg?width=400

    link to the image in large https://ign.com/wikis/the-sims-4/Sims_4_2023_Roadmap_and_Details

    The leaf with a roof over it represented the greenhouse kit, along with the plants and gardening stuff.

    is the basement clutter kit represented by the broken tablet or by the suitcase?

    Since there are books and a notepad, could there be a kit for office stuff?

    Could the suitcase be a kit for going on vacation?

    so many questions still lol

    I honestly don't think any of those images relate to faires or horses, so I am wondering what else is to come.

    Could the apartment image mean that there'll be an update on apartments, like an apartment lot type? That would be amazing, but I'll mad if they don't fix apartment walls with it. (also please walls up for hallways)

    2 kits I believe. But who knows what July, August, and September will offer, maybe a game pack.

    I do know we are supposed to get a hot update sometime. I would love to have the apartments fixed for the balconies to be useable and yes better wall papers would be nice. I think the two kits left with this May/June will be something for the take me home to round out the family style game play and updates to homes. Then the July/August/September is going to be focusing on hopefully GP and future EP. I hope to see fairies and unicorns maybe horses that would be nice but without at least open neighborhoods I don't see how horses would be fun in Sims 4. I am thinking along the lines of goth/medieval is coming and the game will end with future vibes. But, I think there is plenty of content to be developed for this game and deepened gameplay. I would like to see a medieval style gameplay but it is hard to play without mods. Just ideas.

    Are you talking about the balconies in city living apartments or Eco living? Eco living apartments never had the balconies useful, though I wish they were.

    Which is why they want them fixed. They were useable before release of the pack, but because they didn’t change along with the apartment building the ability to use them was removed
