My guess for the Summit is that they'll announce an overhaul of certain game features, like the Gallery (customizable Lot thumbnails, anyone?). Maybe they'll introduce the Simguru Platform that they patented a while ago. Or the game is getting a new look - UI, maps and all.
Oh my, I got: Alpha wolf. You're assertive, brave, and a natural leader! Just make sure not to be too controlling, and you'll lead your pack to success! Thanks for doing the giveaway! :)
I'm thinking GP announcement tomorrow for a May 31st release (the exact same release schedule as DHD last year). But if there's no EP this summer, I think there's a big chance that we're not getting the GP until the end of June.
Hah, same here. 😂 Currently my list of most wanted things is: - Memory System - Paintable Ceilings - Attraction System - Hotels - Cars - A Realm of Magic refresh - More (rabbit hole) Careers - Carnival Games/Rides - Phone usage toggle or 'No Phone Zone' lot trait - Body Hair - Land lines (just for fun)
If I'm not mistaken this means that the MWS patch will arrive in the week of March 21 at the earliest. (The first patch is probably the pre-Kit patch the week before that). That's quite late for such big bugs.
Does anyone know if My Wedding Stories came with a soundtrack? Composer Ilan Eshkeri usually makes a few new tracks for packs and I'm wondering if he made any new ones.
Does anyone know if there's Honeymoon gameplay included in the pack? :) I couldn't find anything about it, but it was mentioned in the blogpost. The same goes for wedding photos.
Not gonna lie, I'm a bit surprised that there's no significant basegame feature coming with this pack (was still hoping for one). I really wonder why they didn't take the chance to expand romance/dating after so many people asked for it. But hey, the CAS additions are very welcome! The bug fixes are nice too.
Just a wild guess, but as they did mention them in the Pack description ('you’ll be able to enjoy your new life with an intimate vacation for two') but not in the Livestream, I think it will be a minor feature of MWS. Maybe just a new UI element that says 'Go on Honeymoon' and brings you to the Worlds screen. I could be…
I was wondering about that too. Maybe you can just choose the cake and clothing of your liking in some new Wedding Planner menu, which would make the shops/stalls just an extra activity only available in Tartosa. Guess we'll find out tonight :)
The thing is that a cover change would mean giving in to those absurd laws in Russia. The Sims Team chose integrity over profitability here, and I love that they did that. However it's very sad for Russian Simmers, I hope they can get their hands on the pack in some other way.
It certainly sounds like we'll get some kind of photo-memory system. Or at least the ability to frame our own screenshots. It was heavily featured in the trailer too. Wants and nots could be another term for turn-ons and turn-offs? It's interesting that they chose those words and put them after Likes and Dislikes like…
If you zoom in on stills of the beach scenes you can see the playground pirate ship and the big flower pots in the background. So at least one beach lot is located in that right corner. Maybe there's more though?
I'm guessing Tartosa will have at least 8 lots. From the blog it sounds like there'll be two neighborhoods, the 'Coastal Village' and 'Forested Inland'. The Town center has at least 4 lots (five even, if the tall build in the background is a lot too). That still leaves the pink chapel, the party lot with the dance floor…
That tea set! I've wanted that for so long in TS4! It will be great for historical play, clubs with high tea gatherings, restaurants, etc. I loved that they used At Last in the trailer, it's a classic. The world looks nice too. Can't wait to find out more on Thursday.
I think you're right, something must have happened. It's the first time the order on the roadmap doesn't line up. It would be very illogical to release the GP right after Valentines Day, so maybe there'll only be a few days between the trailer and release?
I love dogs in TS4! The gameplay with them is really good. I like the llamas and cows too. If dolphins had more gameplay they would be higher on my list.
I agree, I think that's what it means.. Trailer on the 18th, patch on the 27th, GP release on February 1st? The GP was mentioned before the Kit in the roadmap after all.
This time I hope they don't give us a new world and focus on new animations and gameplay systems. New romantic and cuddling animations, slow dancing, online dating, a matchmaker NPC, a 'loyal' and 'sweet talker' trait, etc.
Just watched the livestream, and it doesn't seem like there's something with color customization coming in next week's patch. Or was Frost referring to the Christmas items?
It was confirmed in the Inside Maxis livestream that Scenarios cover the 'unlock new ways to play' part of the roadmap (50:02 in the video below). There's one update left that should cover the 'add dimensions to our Sims' lives' part :) https://youtu.be/TYEIg0Sq6KM?t=3002
I think a memory system would also be possible on a smaller scale. If we could just collect some 'badges' for important life moments in a new panel, it'd already make such a difference for storytelling.
I hope the second patch this month will be good. Best case scenario imo: The 'add dimension to your Sims lives' part is a memory system and it will accompany the townie lore update. But I know it's probably nothing like that. I hope it can make up for the lack of an EP this fall!
