The speculation can be fun, but lately it has been more like silence, and then the entire thing leaks from xbox or from a website. I think this has happened to several kits now actually...
I dunno, it feels a bit chaotic.
I think there is a simple logic behind it: Simmers love leaks and react way more excited and positive towards it than about Maxis' official announcements. If I was in their marketing team I would leak everything.
Well...generally in marketing leaks does not do a whole lot, because it often only reaches people who are active in the community, so unless they wanted to create speculation and reactions in their own community, which are people who will probably buy the kits when they release then it's generally not a good idea to leak anything intentionally...
For people that are more active in the community though, yeah I guess more leaks would be fun.
I need to see more but from what I can tell the CAS kit looks nice too. Maybe a bit too casual for me but I can see the chill vibe they were going for.
Worth noting, the movie they're watching on the projector screen is also the start of the Sims 3 Supernatural trailer with the guy transforming into the werewolf as well.

Yep, 'leaks' have been one of the strongest marketing mediums for years now. People think they're getting info they're not supposed to have and it sweetens it for some reason.

They say that the items are DIY, but unless I get confirmation that the sims will actually make these items in-game, I'll be skeptical. It's probably just a BB pack, and the DIY theme is just an aesthetic. And even if this turns out to be a gameplay kit, this could have easily been in an Outdoor Retreat/Parenthood refresh, or something. I know it doesn't fit perfectly, looks-wise, but it feels like another example of them selling us the same theme in separate packs, but with minor tweaks.
The Moonlight clothes look like the type of clothing we always get. I'll never buy this pack, unless it goes on sale for like 30 cents, CAD. But at least it's not more knitwear.

I hope the dress the woman is wearing in the picture is quite long. The picture cuts it off, but I love the long dresses in the game. The wedding gamepack CAS was a dream for me.
Now that the official descriptions/ pictures are out, it does look like Little Campers is BB rather than new gameplay, unless there’s something not very obvious from the images shown.
That aside, the new versions of the outdoor projector, swing set, fire pit, etc all look really good and will be nice to have. While I’ve felt pretty lukewarm about all the CAS kits released so far (and Moonlight Chic doesn’t look like an exception) I think that all the BB kits have nailed it.
I will say that I like the projector. It'd be great for drive-i- Oh wait, no cars. Still, it'd be nice to have for community lots. Have sims go to the park, have picnics on the grass on benches and watch movies with other people in town. It'd be a cozy activity for a small town.
If this isn't a gameplay kit, then I'll wait until the projector is recycled in another pack and just use it then.

I would love if sims can really build these but frost said it's more of a b/b kit. Still I love that it has a DIY look. I just noticed that rocket thing with the bear strapped to it. 😃
My childish sim would love this too.
It is as shame Little Camper's couldn't be a gameplay kit, but it is really cute. Definitely getting that one. Builds using Outdoor Retreat BB have needed a nice compliment in my book.
The CAS kit is kind of mesh in my opinion, but they do look like real clothes so bring them on.
I’m loving the look of little campers my only critique is I wish it was a stuff pack to maximise on gameplay and more bb/cas assets. The other kit just seems like all other young adult cas items we seem to be getting at the moment

One day I'll beat you to the punch on these threads. 🙃

Yea leaks are exciting then adds to investigation of trying to find out how real it is lol

Don't count on it. 😊
Opportunity good catch. I didn't even notice!

Wonder if this is functional. 🤔

That object totally needs to release a little edible marshmallow sandwich on request. I'll be sad if it doesn't.
