Hi all! I was really unimpressed by the Sims Summit but very happy with news of babies coming! I am so excited. This is something that's been high on my list for years now. So we've been told to expect them early next year. I had a dream last night they were dropped January 3rd :D Woke up and checked the calender and it does indeed fall on a Tuesday, which we know is usually patch day. Did I have a premonition? Lol

While possible, I doubt it. I think that infant update will be a pre expansion pack patch for the next EP (I guess Generations) and if they drop the patch on January 3rd, that means they have to formally announce the next EP in this quarter if it's coming that early in 2023.

I don't know. Early is very vague.

@BooDaBoo5 I would love it so much if your dream was a premonitory type dream.

@rudy8292 I don't recall a particular expansion type being mentioned in the after summit event that I watched in full, after the fact. Just that two were expected. I wasn't terribly impressed with the Generations pack from Sims3, so I'm slightly distressed over the clamor for another one. The original one I found woefully lacking. I'm a Family player, too, but there was precious little in that pack to keep me entertained. (I found Parenthood far more satisfying.) I do agree a pre-expansion pack patch is most logical.

Unless, they just drop them into our game the way they did with Toddlers!

We'll have to wait and see. Right now, I have to convince myself to go ahead and play my game forward to help the time go by faster. IE keep busy till the clock runs out, so to speak.

I will likely roll back my game save to replay the birth of Erik's first child, so I can play with the new infants with my favorite Sim family. But, that doesn't mean I can't move the story further ahead, right? The twin girls will age up to Toddler in about four Sim days when I pick things up again. And since we really don't know how the infants will manifest, it's a hard call to make.

Woah, very cool! If not the third maybe there is a 3 in the date of release? 13th, 23rd? ;)

when they do arrive I just hope they don't break bunch of stuff or be broken themselves or break any packs with baby things or break ppls saves with babies in them

like lowkey already starting to plan around not creating any babies in my save before the new nooboos have settled in

also I'm just afraid they forgot about get to work hospital and alien babies and such cause they always forget to update aliens i swear and get to work is already broken currently i don't want it to be even more so

That's right, but the 'new worlds' showing a kid on a bike, and a baby being carried on the back of a Sim gives a bit of a hint. Also the objects like Dentures and Box of memories etc. seem to hint that a Generations Expansion is coming. And that would make sense with the infant update.

But yes, it is all speculation at this point, sure. They haven't flat out said anything about the next EP in detail, just the few concept art things and that there are 2 EP's coming next year.

We will have to wait and see! I loved the Generations EP in Sims 3 and I cannot wait to see what they will do with the Sims 4 version (if it comes).

You're right, early is very vague. It could be Feb or March, maybe April. I am wondering if it will be a pre expansion patch or if we won't get more info on them and they'll just drop like they did with toddlers. Only time will tell!

Unfortunately I am already counting on numerous bugs when they arrive :# So I don't blame you! And yes, I really wish they'd go back and fix things before adding more. It does make me worry some of these things will never be fixed even at the end of the game's life. :/

I am thinking it will be something like Generations. I really loved that pack. So much more could've been done with it, sure, but to me it added more filling to the life stages :) It's hard to say what 4's version would be like though.

Well, Maybe the babies will come prematurely in December 2022.
