January Patch Speculation 2023 (Jan 31st Patch Out Now)

We had this big announcement that was like "Sims 5 is coming eventually! Sims 4 will still be supported for the foreseeable future!" and then radio silence. I guess maybe that announcement was to explain why there would be radio silence, but when you hear Sims 4 will still be supported you expect to at least hear something's coming, even if you don't know what it is yet.
I'm sure that will change now that we're on the other end of the holidays, but it's still been weird.
I hope we can at least get the roadmap this week. And also hopefully we get the update next week like you said.
Oh ok. I wish they had said something today.
I've never really kept track of whether the roadmaps are released on Tuesdays or Thursdays. But it would be nice to get the Roadmap tomorrow with the infant update either on the 10th or the 12th. "Early in the year" makes me think Mid January to Early February timeframe. But I think most people would prefer the update sooner than later.
Nothing from TheSims again Today but Tomorrow is the 5th and last year we got a Roadmap on the 5th of January and Tomorrow is Thursday. Cross your fingers we get something Tomorrow.
I’d rather they really dive in, and figure out the spider web of glitches and game issues and untangle them before releasing anything else. Yeah being patience is hard for some of us, it is for me. But I’d rather complain about having to wait then to always complain and hear other people complain that the game isn’t sufficient enough, or the new updates or expansions are causing more in game problems. I think most of us would rather wait for a really well done fleshed out update or gameplay than have it being rushed.
Granted I know they can’t fix everything. But back in the sims 1 and 2 era, there wasn’t constant game updates. Once something was released, to my knowledge, it came as is. The game developers had to get it right almost always the first time it released.
I am confused that a game so popular and well done like the sims 2 didn’t need constant updating to fix glitches, but the sims 4 does. I know the sims 2 does have some small glitches, but they aren’t game breaking ones. How did they manage without releasing a new update every month?
In my opinion the sims 4 should be more than capable of doing what its successors did before, if they need more time to get it right that’s what they should do. It would give the sims 4 more steam to run on if the focus was more about releasing content and updates that work without causing more glitches. It would give game players more confidence when purchasing new content or updating their game. Which in the long run would draw in more loyal players and fan base.
Maybe the team has realized this and that if they want more new long term players and fans they got to do things right versus just getting it done and worrying about fixing it later.
They drew in so many new players making the base game free, but if they go back to their old ways, of just dishing out the cake before it’s baked all the way they may lose new players just as fast as they got them.
I’m hoping for more reliable updates and new content and I think if new players are going to stick around, they know things have to be done right and not rushed.
If that’s why they have been so silent. I’m all for it. It’s strange that they have been so quiet since thanksgiving, but if that’s why it’s well worth it. And I fully support the sims 4 for doing this. And I’m sure many of you would too.
I wonder if dragons would change their mind🐉🐲 or is that too, grandma of me 👵

They did have patches in Sims 2 but to a lesser extent. I remember one patch fixed something in Apartment Life a lot of people were posting about.
In the meantime it's now January 5th. Knock on Wood we get the roadmap today.
I was really hoping for some news today 😮💨 at this point, I'm just gonna stop anticipating and go about my business so I'm not constantly thinking about it anymore 🙃 babies and roadmaps will eventually come soon...I hope.
You'll have more to discuss relatively soon everyone, we still have folk trickling back into the office from holiday vacation time and getting back into the swing of things.
Define soon Cade... Thanks for sharing!
I'm afraid that if I gave anymore away @SimGuruNinja would come for me over my disagreement over "live" mode pronunciation.
Too late @EA_Cade.
