April Patch Speculation 2021 (2nd Patch Out Now)

I also think the calendar being added to the base game means that maybe we can add our own family events. I don't think it has anything to do with making holidays as that comes in seasons but just adding a calendar would be nice for those who don't have seasons to be able to plan events for their sims. Like what if a generations type pack is coming and we can now plan sleeps overs, engagements, bachelor/ette parties, funerals, baby showers, family outings, and reunions.

People are actually upset that the calendar might get added to the basegame? Really? I don't mind them giving away a few things for free. The calendar will make a nice little addition to the basgame for the folks that can't get the EP's. This is coming from someone that has Every pack in the game (except Star Wars). It's really nothing to get upset over. Happy Simming!

This ☝️ and the fact that adding the calendar to the base game will for sure bring a new feature for all. It'll be good for those who have already bought seasons and for those who haven't.

I was wondering whether the "new" trait slot might just be the already existing reward trait for fulfilling an aspiration. These traits cannot be seen in CAS at the moment, maybe all they'll do is make them visible. Personally, I'm hope for something new and cool, though.

would look really weird if your Sim has up to 120 reward traits - you can gain more than just one. My guess is that the new slot is for zodiacs which might also explain why calendars are added to the base game.

This makes sense to me... Zodiac signs relying accuratelly on the calendar... an atraction system. i think i'ld like it :)

Good theory.

Could hope for more than one zodiac sign - sun, moon and rising - but that's very unlikely to ever happen, even though we are all the sum of these three. Granted, it's a bit more complicated than that, but that's as simplified as I go! But even just adding sun signs would be awesome! I've missed those.

I don't know I think that this is a zodiac. I sure hope so. Zodiacs could bring an attraction system.

If it is zodiac then an upcoming pack might be romance related.

If it is not going to be zodiac I would love for a "dislike" traits like we had in Sims 2

If it is a zodiac, I hope it's one that's organic to The Sims rather than the adoption of a real-life one. (the Llama, the Cowplant, etc..)

Because then there will be fewer people saying "they got x sign wrong" or "I'm x and I'm nothing like that." if they can make it up of (more or less) whole cloth.

And it's less culture-specific since there's more than one Zodiac out there, so less likely to step on cultural toes. Though if they do go with a real-world one, the Greek one has been so mainstreamed that it would probably cause the least offense.

I would like to plan the Spring Break for the university students.

I thought university does not observe any holidays off? Plus, if they are YAs and up in university, would that help in making spring break?

The sims has had real zodiac signs since TS2, that would make no sense. Plus zodiacs in real life are made up already.
