I've seen a lot done by the famous youtubers and on Twitter 

But you got to really hunt for them so I gave up on that. Usually when a new DLC comes out they do it. 

 

Fairies would definitely be a game pack.

Bands tho...we have air guitar animations, karaoke animations / vocals, choreography, DJ stuff, a fame system and crowd animations from the Bebe Rexha event so all we need is just drums and an electric guitar. It's like they wanted a bands DLC since day 1 but can't get approval for it so throw in crumbs across different DLCs to eventually indirectly create it. 

 

My main dreams atm is customizable skateboards, the poker table, model train sets, arcades and comic book stores. Dorky 90s stuff basically lol.

 

I don't use twitter but I did find couple of YouTubers that I entered their contest. I won nothing.

Hoping we get a nostalgia pack/kit, filled with items from previous iterations, that would be iconic.

Can't tell if this is legit or not

Curiously this is the same visual design as EA's Need for Speed Unbound which features *gasp* CARS

It's random, unexpected, low key tone deaf and completely unnecessary so it's 100% real.

Got an idea for a Sims 2 style neighborhood story I'll try to further develop. My main vision atm is that it's set in the old area of Windenburg and maybe some visual cues from Life & Death's build/buy stuff. In the meantime, I've decided to try the Prosperity Challenge (TLDR, you randomize all aspects of your game) and got some fun households to mess with.

"We want cars"

"We want fairies"

"We want hotels"

 

"Here's a board game!!"

I am thinking of buying a game pack when they go 50% off on sale. 

 

I will definitely buy Parenthood, but I don't know what else to choose. I need worlds, so that is my main priority.

 

My Wedding Stories has the best world, but I heard it's super buggy and I don't want to crash my gameplay 

 

 

Then there's these 3 supernatural crap stuff with Werewolves, Magic and Vampires. I don't want to play with that, but I need new worlds and maybe some cute little clothings and build mode stuff that comes with it. I don't know what to do.

 

 

The only game pack with new world I am buying will be Strangerville. As a Sims 2 stan, I need this. And the world looks cute actually. I guess once you finish the storyline, it's over but the neighborhood is cute. I like that airplane lot thing.

Yeah as a fan of Sims 2's GBA version, StrangerVille is a must have. Throw in Get to Work and you can have actual aliens and a playable Scientist career too. 

I like how Realm of Magic's world is based on Sim Lane from Sims 1

 

[PokiTails]

Also I just want to point out paid DLCs for board games is somewhat common so don't be shocked if we start to get expansion packs for the board game. 

 

[Bloodflowers.]

 

I just found out from this video that a mod exists which has open world (neighborhood to be more clear). And it works well. Imagine if this comes with an update this year or next year. A literal GAMECHANGER. No more loading screen for simply visiting another house or apartment next to you

 

[Bloodflowers.]

 

 

Base game houses update and Sims 1 & Sims 2 free stuff for the Sims 4 is coming WE WON

 

 

[PokiTails]

That new main menu screen looks awesome.

Looks like a stuff packs worth of CAS and B/B stuff. Maybe even more.

 

Hope we get cool gameplay updates this year.

[Hair]

I like the new main menu to be honest, but the inconsistent branding is really bothering me, they should have updated the splash screen too. Looking forward to the kits I can't lie, I feel like since they started collaborating with creators, the quality of them has definitely improved... and of course the nostalgic items from previous games (although I saw someone has already got them up for download )

 

The refreshed base game houses have made their way into my current save even though they said the refreshed builds would only appear in new saves, and existing saves will be unaffected, if you want them then you need to download them from the gallery yourself... Umm well I've got all the new houses without placing them myself. 

 

Can't lie, a bit disappointed the stream was only 7 minutes long, I feel like they could have at least shown the kits that are coming on Thursday.

Gays are we ready for burglars (a Sims base game feature in every franchise) to finally come in an expansion pack??

 

Finally I can buy burglar alarm 

 

 

Also, does anyone have a tea about their survey? Apparently they did one not so long time ago. Can someone share information what options did they offer, when did this survey take place and which options where the most popular ones?

Monday January 13th was the 10th anniversary of Outdoor Retreat. Our first Sims 4 expansion and the first game pack. Still one of my faves.
