  • I’m with others that found the trailer underwhelming. It seems like it was hinting that there’s other stuff to do in this pack but what is it? Where is it? We already knew everything shown in the trailer. I understand that horses take a lot of resources but it feels underwhelming and not very expansive. Maybe the…
  • I’m so glad to see this!
  • If I play uni, I send my sim for 1 or 2 weeks/semesters then I cheat the degree and move on. It just takes so long and I find it disrupts my story line more than anything else. I love the idea of university but I wish they added some options to do it on a shorter timespan.
  • I predict that the sims 4 will become the sims 5. Why build a whole new game when you can just refresh the existing content to satisfy old players and gain new ones?
  • I would buy a southern food kit honestly. Give me my bbq and fried okra. I also think music/bands could tie into a pack with southern influences.
  • Same, but I will say cutting the cake, which is a base game interaction, has never worked for me. I wasn’t surprised it still doesn’t work. Overall it looks like there’s a lot more micromanaging to weddings but they’re still basically uninteresting. Maybe a small backyard wedding wasn’t the best one to show off with. I…
  • While I agree with this, polyamory and polygamy haven’t reached the tipping point that other movements for inclusivity have. Some of the sims team may want to add those options but I believe EA would ultimately veto it because it would alienate a larger portion of the player base than they would want.
  • I think it would be tricky for them to add it as it remains a very taboo subject for some people/cultures. Even though Frost said he was open to it I assume it would never actually happen.
  • I’m almost certain that the wants and nots thing will be tied to wedding gameplay but it would be so cool if it’s something patched in for preferences, etc. I wondered about an overhauled memory system when I was watching the trailer. I hope that’s something they are adding.
  • I think the world will be Greek inspired because Tartosa sounds like some silly EA take on Greek Isle names.
  • Ethiopian would be so good. I’d like to see some (more?) Greek, Middle Eastern and African inspired foods (and stuff in general honestly).
  • I could see a world being included if any part of the pack focuses on honeymoons but I’m not sure it will. I think it’s going to lean much more towards engagements and weddings. I’d love to see a sim version of Venice but I think they would be more likely to do a Paris/French themed destination.
  • I’m sure they’re collecting data. They’re likely looking at what percentage of players are starting scenarios and how many players play the scenario through to completion. They know how many people have the game as a whole, they also likely know how many active players they have. They’re probably looking at whether or not…
  • One of the gurus tweeted that the season of selves covers Oct, Nov and Dec which is the last fiscal quarter for this year.
  • My first thought on this was - so, you took challenges that simmers created and already play in the game and made them “official”? It’s an interesting concept and they could possibly do a lot with it, but …
  • It think we’ll get the next 2 kit announcements next week with a release of a week or 2 after that. That frees EA up from the season of selves roadmap in November and means they could still announce a winter road map and release an expansion before the end of the year.
  • San Myshuno spice district is my forever home. It feels the most alive. I also find myself in Del Sol Valley (the “cheap” side) a lot. I also like the Brindleton Bay areas that are near the water.
  • I think they could still add cars. Even Sulani had “a” road. Cars could park on the side then have sims walk to their destination. I think it would work best if we had other transit options though. For example, in Sulani it would make more sense to have a ferry instead of cars. In San Myshuno a subway or buses would be…
  • I thought the trailer was really good, even if I don’t normally listen to those particular artists. I don’t think it means anything for the direction of the game though.
  • 100% agree. If they’re open to refreshing expansions then get to work has my vote. Beyond the business game play aliens deserve some love too. I’d love to see a livable alien world and more fleshed out alien gameplay (similar to vampires and magic).
  • I agree with a lot that I’ve read here. I’ve been playing since sims 1 and what I miss the most is just the chaos and randomness of the game. Everything, including death, is very predictable. We know exactly how to go from single to married in 3 sims hours and it works every time even if the sims didn’t like each other at…
  • I get that EA’s builds have been pretty bad sometimes and I like that they’re using game changers to build the houses for the packs now. I don’t tend to like general game changer (or gallery) builds because most of them end up being unusable. I don’t know how many times I’ve tried to download a house off the gallery and…
  • I have the perfect sim for this. He’s a legacy starter in another save but he loves knitting, gardening and fizzing. He also loves metal and doesn’t really fit into this rural world. I think a cottage living llama farm would be great for him.
  • I’ll buy it eventually for BB items but I’m not really a builder. I just know every house on the gallery will now have this stuff in it. Everything that seems to affect gameplay was patched in so I’m not seeing the need to get the pack on release.
  • I want this as an update for sims but I’m not fully hopeful. I know there was the photo leak named likes and dislikes but I really worry it will mainly be a pack feature.
  • I love the style and hope we get more round it out. I can’t build but this might be my first kit purchase.
  • Lifestyles and traits - First, lifestyles need some fine tuning. My Sim shouldn’t become a workaholic just because they actually go to work. Some traits seem like they would make better lifestyles, freegan for example. Are there any plans to review traits and possibly change some of them to lifestyles? Are there any plans…
  • It depends. Subscription service might not be bad if you then get all the packs/content as part of that. I mean, how much have we spent on other sims games after buying the base game and packs? But, Origin already offers a subscription service which Sims 4 is included in. I would think it might not be that different.…
  • I like the style of the pack and am very interested in the new gameplay but I want to see how it actually plays. The trailers haven’t always been super truthful to how the gameplay really is.
  • This would be a great pack for them to also patch in a legit fear emotion.
