Flowers can be added to washing machines to make sims smell good. You need Laundry Day.
I've no interest in laundry day, and that's not what I meant. I want to be able to make flower arrangements I mean.

How in the world does not getting a teaser for this quarter equal getting an EP this quarter? It doesn't. We may not get anything this quarter. Stop getting people's hopes up with misinformation.
If anything I'd say it's probably that they're working on something big, and weren't able to make anything to show this quartly, but that's just speculation on my end... Though if I think is the case I hope it will be something good. Or maybe they just got lazy, it happens.

I was hoping for new stuff for this quarter as we know we get nothing once the tech shows start all summer (June, July, and Aug).... a Spring teaser of some kind would have been nice....sigh.

I think Seasons is coming out Late June and the Next Ep after that in November. I think the reason we didn't get a quarterly is that they didn't want to give the expansion pack away yet and want to wait to post about it. I think the announcement and trailer will be made next week or the week after and they'll show some hands on of Seasons at the EA Event before it releases. If Seasons is coming out in June then all the teams will jump on it so no game or stuffpacks this quarter.
There is no way there won't be any paid content until November. We've had droughts with TS4 before but not any that long. It's just April.
I seriously doubt that. To drop TS4 now when there is still way to much content missing would cause a big uproar on these forums,twitter,reddit and facebook.
Well the more they keep pushing Mobile into TS4 players' faces, it tends to seem that way to me.
If they did chose to do that then it would further prove that mobile games are poison...

The reason is the huge growth in the number of smartphones and the market for such games is especially huge in the very populous countries in Asia. So the game companies just has to make more of such games.
The markets for PC games and console games haven’t become smaller though. So even though the game companies have to make more mobile games they also have to make just as many games for PCs and consoles as they did earlier. They just have to expand because the total market for games has been growing a lot too.
So don’t fear the mobile market. It won’t be that market that finally will kill the big Sims games for the PCs!
2. The Sims 3
3. The Sims 4 (5 years later its decent)
4. The Sims 1
No it was Toddlers.
The big news EA will be announcing soon according to EA Mage. I think it's an expansion pack.
Why is EA announcing Sims news? That is unusual. Usually Maxis heads make announcements. If it is EA - well we might be saying farewell to the Sims PC. All those years with Sim City - Maxis/The Sims Division made announcements for it - until EA decided it was time to say farewell to the franchise - then EA had a Sims City announcement. I mean even at the Tech shows EA only announces the head of Maxis to tell us stuff. This not a good sign. EA generally only makes Official Announcement like when a game is newly begun, or when a game is being closed, a studio is closed, and things like that.
ETA:
My niece, also a simmer is visiting today, just said to me - we've never had an extended game - maybe EA's announcing that.
Actually I don't know if they would announce that anyway as The Sims has never actually ever had a definite limit date anyway.

I guess Maxis will be announcing but when I think Sims I just think EA. I'm sure the announcement is coming from Maxis. I'm just use to associating Sims with EA.
Not me. I was with EA well before there was any kind of Sims - so games of theirs affiliated under their studios I totally keep separate as I know the studios more or less do their own thing but under a certain guidance from EA. Gets me nervous saying things like that when it comes to the Sims. LOL.
When I hear EA I think of EA Sports and EA's competition games or a new game Like Fe they got last year - as that is what they announce - so made me nervous for thinking EA was announcing something for one of the studios - which to me is a big OH NO - something else is going down - is generally my first thought, my second thought is another new EA game coming. LOL.

That's the most comforting news I've heard far too long..

Even EA CEO Andrew Wilson stated that in an interview I just saw yesterday - that he sees a Billion people around the world being connected to EAs games on all devices they own from pc, to mobile, to console, to VR as that is where they are heading and aiming. He want people to be able to play ALL their favorite games on any and all devices, any time and any place in the world.

Still the PC needs to get the most attention.

Oh I won't be doing VR - I tested a couple of VR sets and both made me very ill with in minutes. One of my sons who is a programmer and avid hardcore gamer experienced the same motion issue just not as quickly as I do - but we were told if you suffer any kind of vertigo, serious headaches or motion sickness in any form - you will most likely not be able to tolerate VR - and boy were they right. For me it was almost instantly in both sets I tried. My son lasted about 15-20 minutes. So nope - not going for VR. I stayed ill rest of the after noon after trying them.
To be fair I do have vertigo in some games(first person type games) and in real cars, and get Migraines with aura - so I probably should have never volunteered to try it. LOL. But I couldn't resist - lol.
I have no idea how they would work that with The Sims - but one of the VR people thought it would not be a constant game in VR - it would be something you would be alerted to put on the VR headset when some action was about to happen. One of the games demoed was a police kind of scene where you had a gunfight as you walked on a twisty path, and you had to shoot the bad guy, but save the good guys along the path. I did not get far enough to get a score. LOL.

My older brother can go for hours. There was even someone game where he piloted a jet or something, he did barrel rolls while looking all around and didn't even get the slightest bit queasy. That shouldn't be possible.
