Extra To The Max Kit

The 'Extra To The Max' kit pack is coming out very suddenly and if I may say, judging purely from the page image I think that not only will it be a CAS, kit, it will have a lot of blue and yellow clothes, and be dedicated to the Russian-Ukraine conflict.
It's perfectly possible for gaming companies to do something charitable; Euro-Truck 2 is creating and releasing a Ukrainian skin pack for trucks and donating all proceeds to charities.
I swore never to buy a Kit Pack again, but this I would buy.

Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

Huh what page image? I don't think it would have anything to do with that. If they did do something charitable then they would probably do a base update that adds cas and build items relating Ukrainian or Slavic culture.
I think it's a buy build kit.
As I said, another gaming company is creating Ukrainian-based skins for their trucks in the game Euro Truck Simulator 2 right this moment and specifically dedicating proceeds to the charities involved. Ukraine isn't even in the game world of Euro Truck yet.
If we go by the dictionary definition, to the max means to take something to the greatest degree, so extra to the max would mean to take it even further than that. I imagine it's like a houseparty kit for teens with no parents who get to turn the music volume all the way up, so the neighbours call the police and they show up in highheels with a stereo on their shoulder because the neighbours accidentally called an exotic dancers entertainment group called "The Police". By the time the real police shows up, the pool is already filled with foam, sprinklers are on, there's a bear sleeping on the couch, Mr. Goth is making out with Bonehilda in the upstairs dresser and Mrs. Goth, Mrs. Pancakes and Mrs. Landgraabs are dancing sexily in their underwear on the dining room table.
Extra to the max doesn’t sound like something to do with conflict. Didn’t they plan the road map before events unfolded?
Extra to the max sounds like fitness to me, I’m hoping for an exercise bike! 🎉 Loved that item in Sims 2 and it’s never reappeared.
I don't see that though it's just a purple background
I think the sims in the background were made before the Ukraine conflict, so the color of their clothes doesn't really match up.
Half of the townies already dress like that in my game
sorry to say, but we've known about the "Extra to the Max" kit for weeks. We've known we're getting 2 kits this quarter, and the term "Extra to the Max" was part of the initial Road Map - which featured those two sims.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if they did something to support Ukraine, but even with Kits being faster and easier to produce than Packs, I don't think they could get that sort of turn around. Between time to create the items (design, modeling, textures) and then marketing to create the source images and the ad copy, I'd be surprised if even a Kit took less than 4 weeks concept to release. (Packs, which granted include gameplay, take between six months to a year depending on the pack, and that was back when they were all in the office.)
Mine too! They just spawn already dressed To the Max. Could be an eyeball necklace coming in the kit to match the ring.
Why stop at an eyeball necklace? Maybe the Kit is just eyeball themed clothes, accessories and furniture. It would feel very surreal
I have my doubts
often when pack/kit sounds cool its actually kinda meh and I'll hold to that superstition until proven otherwise

😂, actually I could see this happening.
Please don't hate me, but I actually think this would be awesome!
In the German description of the roadmap, it says that Extra to the Max will be a CAS kit. So if there's nothing lost in translation, it will not be furniture.
Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon
Supreme King Z-ARC
What do these cards have in common, and what do they share with countless other dragons in Yugioh? They all reside in a player's Extra Deck. So Extra to the Max is a Yugioh collab. "Extra" refers to the Extra Deck, while Max refers to another dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon.
Note that MAX Dragon is found in the Main Deck. So "Extra to the Max" is them saying "From the Extra Deck, to the Main Deck." They're including dragons from both decks.
In other words, dragons confirmed.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
I mean, in the sense of an active conflict like there is now, no, there wasn't. But a lot of people have been pretty aware it was coming for years, and imminently about to happen for months. That doesn't mean that there is a tie-in in the pack, but it's not chronologically impossible, either.
ETA: ok, now that I've clicked on the link, I do think that's a bit of stretch. That being said, it would be nice if they did some sort of charitable event. Maybe for the next livestream, they could do a charity event like ESO does, and then match donations that people make during the stream, or give away a few kits to random viewers who donate.
