The Sims 4 General DiscussionWhy can't simmers get a concrete answer about what's coming or at least when it will be announced. It's always a guessing game that tends to last waaaayyy too long. Then the guessing game only sets us up for disappointment because ideas of what might be coming just build up and up for months since we have nothing specific to look forward to.

I understand not being able to say certain things like specific themes/contents, but not being able to say "hey guys, next announcement will come at EA Play" is tiring. The only concise but if info we've gotten is that 3 packs are coming in the next 6 months. I wish they would be willing to be less vague. I miss the quarterly teasers we used to get
I am currently stomping my feet and throwing a temper tantrum. The toddlers taught me something, ya know.
I actually had to walk away from my computer earlier after I saw this discussion. I was so angry, and disappointed in EA, I had to close the page and walk away. I truly believe the teams are jammed up, and no one knows when projects will be finished. That is the only explanation that makes any sense. And Ea cannot bring themselves to admit that is the case because of their stockholders, and how that kind of news will affect the value of their stocks. But every month that goes by without new content releases, the less EA makes. Perhaps that is why they decided to give away the base game. No one is ever satisfied with a base game so stuff and game packs, and expansions will be purchsed by these newest Simmers. Good marketing strategy that leaves us, the faithful fans that have been with the franchise for years, in total darkness, waiting.
The Legacy Edition for Simmers using 32-Bit systems has to be their top priority for next month. My understanding is, it must be released before they can release the update for those of us using 64-Bit systems. Since the contents of that update have not been fully explained, no one knows what changes it contains. Again, there is no transparency on EA's part. We have no clue how this update might alter the game. And I happen to think we kinda have the right to know so we can decide if we want to wait to install it. I am waiting to install it until the mods I use are updated, and I know my older saves won't be harmed. Back up your Sims4 folder before installing the update. I cannot stress this enough; especially for the newer Simmers. In Origin, turn off the auto update option. Wait until some reviews on the update come in before you decide to install it. Because EA has not told us what is in this update, a bit of caution on our part isn't a bad idea. And there have been times when the patch/update notes the gurus post have been incomplete so those notes aren't always the best source for info the patch/update won't derail your game. Yes, I have trust issues with EA right now. But that is not my fault. EA created this mess, not me.
StrangerVille was released on February 26th of this year. On April 9th of this year we were told we can expect three new packs in the next six months. EA announced the end of support for 32-Bit systems would happen in June then announced the Legacy Edition for 32-Bit players so they can still play the game would be released in June. EA then announced an update coming in June for people on 64-Bit systems. EA is very good at making a lot of announcements that basically mean nothing because these announcments don't come with any details. And how do they manage to do this to us over and over? They hide behind the federal rules and regulations that prohibit them from disclosing the free content they like to include in these updates. But wait a minute, didn't the gurus already tell us about the free 350 new color swatches we will get in an update in June? Doesn't that fall under the rules and regulations everyone at EA claims they are forced to adhere to? I guess EA discloses what they want to disclose whenever it suits their agenda. Period.
Yep, I am upset and angry. I have no idea how long it will last this time. I have had issues with EA that go back as far as Sims2, and it gets worse with every new base game, expansion, stuff and game pack, and every time we have to wait for new content or bug fixes while EA avoids answering very basic and critical questions. I have no issues with the gurus. They have their jobs to protect, you know. They're just as unhappy about this mess as we are. Friends of mine have called and asked me what my thoughts are on the future of the Sims franchise, about upcoming content, and the way EA has morphed into something we barely recognize. And I can only say if we want to play our Sims games we have two choices: Accept the way things are or leave the franchise when Sims4 ends. Sims3 is complete and still highly entertaining, Sims4 will be complete and is highly entertaining. Sims5? Nope. Not going to bother going through this again. If EA happens to suddenly realize their customers, the fans of the franchise, the people that spend their hard-earned money on EA games, matter to them and aren't the mindless sheep they believe us to be, then I might consider diving into, and spending my money on EA games again. I will continue to purchase content that suits me until Sims4 has finished its run. Not out of any misplaced loyalty to EA, but because I will be able to walk away with two complete Sims games.
No official Hint
No Announcement after 3 MONTHS
NO official tease
NO addressing actual Community concerns
NO NOThing
like who actually enjoys that silence right know
Even hardcore Sims4 Fans are wondering and waiting. Even GAME CHANGERS are 🐸🐸🐸🐸 at this point.
Change your communication an announcement stuff, be clear and stop that non sence ridle that no one could solve, because you are so 🐸🐸🐸🐸 silence about everything.
stop trying to get new Players in and focus on the one that are still on the sinking boat., because the Sims 4 doesnt even have cars and other basic stuff at this point.
I like the game, but damnn… they should be more open about it, espacially at the current state of the sims 4. This...
''there will be so much exciting content in the future bla bla
there will be 3 new exciting dlcs bla bla''
there will be 350 color swatches for the base game bla bla'' is super vague and it doesnt excite me, because what exactly can i expect at this point, since everything in the past was lackluster.

Ever since they took away the quarterly teasers, I don't see the hype in this forum anymore. All the packs were slow release and those teasers actually gave me a vague idea on what to expect from the next coming pack and not to mention it was also fun to speculate here while waiting, but now the wait has become more of an annoyance than anticipation.
The Sims Game
Exactly. What was once exciting has become a huge waste of time because EA can't see the problem from our point of view. And with the newest influx of Simmers, thanks to EA giving away free copies of the base game, EA does not care how we feel. If we are tired of waiting for the content they told us to expect, we can just leave the franchise. That is the way they see it. If we can't blindly and mutely accept all the empty assurances EA has spouted for months on end, EA does not want to deal with us. I mean, when did it become a bad thing to be loyal to a game for almost nineteen years, and expect a bit of loyalty in return? Holy cow, I have spent thousands of dollars over the years purchasing every pack and DLC EA had to offer, as well as purchasing newer computers and hardware in order to play. Sure, that was my choice and I accept that. EA didn't have to twist my arm and force me to play the Sims. But somewhere along the line one has to stop and say, ' Hey, enough is enough. ' EA is a huge company with thousands of employees, and resources we can only imagine at their disposal. Yet they can't deliver what we were told to expect. I did not expect to see those three new packs released one after the other but I did expect some info on them before now. That is all we want right now. We want information. EA is a game publisher. Games are supposed to be fun and exciting. EA has managed to strip all the fun out of waiting for new content to be released by going disturbingly silent yet again. Sims4 will turn five years old on September 2 of this year. I can't believe it's been five years, in some ways it feels like ten. All I can say is I hope the newest Simmers have a lot of patience because they're going to need it.
EA should get inspired by Paradox, they are very transparent about future content.
They said something like it didn't really make sense anymore going forward with the ways they are going to release/deliver content or whatever blablabla that was.
As far as I know some quarters would be without any paid content so the teasers were made redundant...it's a shame in my opinion, they kept the forums a bit more lively
Just they forgot to tell us when they planned to show it.
4 months of promises but there is still no proof.
