Are you happy Quarterly Teasers are gone?

To me, as long as the Gurus are active and engaging with us, whether it be here or on Twitter, I don't need quarterly teasers to keep me engaged with the community. There's always a chance we'll get more with patches, or free DLC. Stuff that wouldn't need to be announced, unlike a game pack/EP.

Honestly, the months before Seasons were probably the worst months we’ve had, only because everyone went all doom and gloom, and were still doing that even when Grant and Kate were being active on Twitter. It only turned around when the Seasons teaser was posted.

2016 was bad, even with the addition of Quarterly Teasers. (Who remembers the wait for Dine Out?)

Gurus have to remember why they introduced them in the first place, because not knowing whether something is coming or not makes me lose interest.

I’ll just constantly check for news and if I don’t get any, I’ll just lose complete interest and it will be harder for them to reel me back in.

I can play the game without new content BUT it’s harder when you don’t know whether or not new content is coming.

This^^

I like knowing what is coming to I can plan my save accordingly. I was rushing through my rotation before Seasons came out because I wanted to be at the beginning. Now I may not even get the chance to plan anything. Usually when they make an announcement, it is coming in like two weeks.

As long as they keep communication up in one way or another, I’m not unhappy about the lack of quarterly teasers.

Just because I'm okay with no teasers, doesn't mean I'm happy they're gone.

I love being surprised :)

i don't want to wait 2 to 3 months not knowing anything so i hope the tease us in some ways with what will be coming especially beacuse people will be speculating like crazy about the sims 5 or the end of this game

I like the short wait time and the joy of seeing the first trailer. The only thing the teasers really did was build up tension with everyone trying to guess what a sim turning into a skeleton meant. "What does it mean.. I don't understand." No more of that nonsense thank you very much.

I think you’re mixing up the teasers... there won’t be anymore QUARTERLY teasers, but we will still get teaser announcements before the full trailer...


Personally, I was only ok with it with seasons because Seasons was AWESOME and highly anticipated. I’m not going to have the same level of excitement with other packs. I feel like this just keeps us in the dark for longer.

I felt like maybe Seasons was a special surprise since it was an EP that was released on a different timeline than might have been expected. I know I thought we wouldn't see it until the holiday rush.

I do like having the teasers for other content such as SPs and GPs. Even if I can't get the content right away, I like knowing about it.

I like to know what's coming in advance. I micro-manage my games so I sometimes have to prepare for things that are added into the game. For instance University would be an addition I have to prepare for. (Which Sims do I send together? Do I have to master certain skills before they attend? How much money does it cost or in other words do some teenage Sims need a job?)
Bon Voyage/World Adventures/Island Paradise would be another pack I'd need to prepare for: Who will go on vacation? How much money does it cost? Are some skills helpful for the vacation?

I picked No I'm Not Happy I like to know what's coming in advance. I'm also not happy that we'll be getting less stuffpacks.

Yeah same, I was actually quite happy with the amount of stuffpacks we got and how often we got them (ignore mfps) but the others came with some great stuff and I feel like it may have give them some more space to experiment that they wouldnt dedicate an entire gp or ep to.
