I wonder if we’re getting the June laundry list this week as the June patch should release soon. Also, have they said anything about the “virtual block party” yet? Seems like it could involve in-game content and it won’t happen until after we get the June patch. “Sims Event of the Summer” should also come with the June…

Lol that’s exactly why they want to keep the worlds small. They don’t want you to have too many lots in a single save as it can cause performance issues. What doesn’t matter: the number of lots in a single world. What does matter: the number of lots across all worlds in a save file. Worlds are merely an illusion in TS4.…
-
Not new. This is a bug that has been around for years.
-
Not a reliable source. They routinely list things based on speculation. The EP will likely be called something different.
-
Very few packs were predicted from item descriptions. People always find something in game after a pack was announced and then retrospectively claim they were hints. The reality is that you can find references to pretty much anything in game, due to how many objects there are and how much text there is. People that want…
-
Absolutely. 6 years later it’s still my favorite game pack. I really hope we’re getting another game pack with a new venue type w/ lots of new gameplay that Sims can do autonomously (as opposed to a pack like Dream Home Decorator where me, the player, has to do all the work). My dream game pack would be a casino pack w/ a…
-
Yeah, but they add new songs for existing stations. There are 4 new songs in Dream Home Decorator.
-
I would not expect that. He said "currently" mainly because future packs may add more styles of sectional couches. https://twitter.com/maybluebird/status/1397330184601145345 https://twitter.com/SimGuruFrost/status/1397330702757072901

If they planned to release the EP in June, they will certainly release it in June. June and July are different fiscal quarters and they cannot just delay the release to a different quarter on their own. Because it affects EA's quarterly earnings, EA would not approve such delay unless there is an extraordinary…

After a few months the only thing I don’t like kits is that they don’t release enough of them :'(
-
The patch should still drop on Thursday. I thought the Tuesday stream was going to be an Inside Maxis stream as that’s what they told us in the last stream. But no it’s just the livestream for Dream Home Decorator. Since it’s not an Inside Maxis stream, it should have no bearing on when the patch drops.…
-
We shall see. For 20 years in a row they didn't release an EP in July. The blog post is hinting we're getting more news in the next few weeks, calling it packed. I can totally see the EP being announced the week after Dream Home Decorator's launch (so June 8) for a late June release (likely June 25).
-
The game pack is releasing on June 1! Maybe this “May - June - June” image they used on the stream was intentional after all and it’s hinting that the kit is in May while both the GP and the EP will come in June :D
-
I'm hoping a CAS kit with new hairstyles. Kinda disappointing that Throwback Fit didn't have any.
-
No, they didn't say the new slot is coming in the next patch. They told us they'll share more about this slot in the next Maxis Inside livestream. I thought it was intentional. Obviously they have the correct image that says "May - June - July". Where did they find this wrong image that says "May - June - June"? But then…
-
Well they showed us the improved bunk beds which are in the next patch (second patch of May). Next week they can show us what's coming in the June patch, such as the new trait slot that they teased but didn't explain.
-
Seems like the GP is not coming anytime soon. They just said on Inside Maxis that the next Inside Maxis livestream is on May 25, which should also be when the next patch drops so that they can go over what's in the next patch. May 25 is a Tuesday which means it's NOT the pre-GP patch. This means the GP won't release until…
-
It's very unlikely they'd drop the teaser tomorrow just for the simple reason that Courtyard Oasis is releasing tomorrow. No reason to overshadow it with a GP teaser. We don't necessarily need to wait till the next week though. A Wednesday teaser with the trailer on Thursday is still possible.
-
No she did not say it. That quote is from Samantha Ryan, SVP & Group GM of EA (in other words, her boss).
-
Looks like they’re not changing it. https://www.twitter.com/SimGuruFrost/status/1394348746163376129
-
I wouldn’t be so sure on that. I do think the three waves of base game updates are in May, June, and July respectively. However, the game pack will likely release after the May update (especially since they put the game pack before the June pride month block party event). June 1 is still the most likely release date for…

FreeTime is the opposite of a career. You know you have free time when you’re not busy with your job :D
-
It could be the heist pack they had on the survey last year. It would certainly be a “cool” career. Creative could just mean original as it’s a pack they’ve never done before.
-
I would say farming is the opposite of “bonding with nature”. More like exploiting nature if anything. Pretty vague but once again, both the GP and the EP could be something that nobody saw coming.
-
Livestream is not their preferred way of announcing any paid content, as it’s in English only. It’s mostly like a tweet with an image, or a blog post, or a short video like the quarterly teasers they used to do. In any case it’s something they can easily translate to like 17 different languages so that it can be posted in…
-
They won't drop the GP trailer on Monday. They'll definitely use YouTube's Premiere feature and do a 24-hour countdown to the trailer.
-
According to SimGuruDuke he led a team of 200+ for TS4. And the team is still growing. That's why I cannot take the speculation that they're going back to one EP per year seriously. It would be a monumental failure of Maxis' leadership to only produce one EP this year with a larger team than ever.
-
There has been an article on Catharina Lavers Mallet joining Maxis. Did everyone in the Sims community not notice that? https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-04-23-catharina-lavers-mallet-takes-over-as-maxis-boss Interesting quote from Samantha Ryan, SVP of EA: Imagine 15 years of TS4 :D
-
She could still be an Executive Producer, just no longer an Executive Producer of TS4. Interestingly enough, SimGuruGMJoe also left Maxis two weeks ago to be Vice President at EA Vancouver. There is now a new General Manager of Maxis. This means right now the top 3 highest ranked producers of TS4, VP Executive Producer…
-
Apparently TS4 had a leadership change this year. We knew SimGuruDuke left Maxis at the end of last year. What we didn't know is that SimGuruLyndsay also left her position on TS4 around the same time. According to Courtyard Oasis's credits, there is now both a new Executive Producer and a new Senior Producer in charge of…
Howdy, Stranger!
