No, that was not the case I am speaking of LOL. If you were to watch Iron Seagull in his Youtube Clip: "Scrapped African World Update... and Royalty is the Final Sims 4 Expansion Pack?!"
It was initially leaked by Adaphii. The post reads:
TS4's major content is done, expect only updates and kits after EP21
EP21 is focused on Royalty with three kingdom types, one of which is based on Africa.
We were gonna get a whole African World for free but it was canned for some reason.
It was about approximately a week after this posting we got official word of this new EP being about royalty and now learning that one portion of the world is "African based."
Since these were correctly shared by Adaphii, I can't see why this person would lie about these findings of this free world that has been scrubbed. It was since then another anonymous tip mentioned it was scrubbed because EA felt it would not be as "welcomed" by the majority of players.
Think about it... like I mentioned before... when Growing together was to be released we got a major SDX drop to support babies coming in. So, why not think EA could surprise us with this amazing drop of a new free world to coincide with the new EP?
I just want to know why this idea was scrubbed. As like you said, jpkarlsen, there have been players in the past requesting such a world. So... to learn it was scrubbed is upsetting to some of us.
