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

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

And since we really don't know how the infants will manifest, it's a hard call to make.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).

Babies January 3rd? ;) (Confirmed to be March 14!)

I don't know. Early is very vague.

Early reminds me of the time they said Soon™ which ended up being 3 months

Exactly. Their definition of 'Early' and 'Soon' is very vague and inconsistent.

I don't care when it comes, tbh. I just want it to work and not cause any major bugs.

The lack of November eps the last two years has really surprised me. I know they're working on something, but then they'll take a break for the holidays. A lot of them are parents and schools don't start up until Jan 6-7 a lot of the time, so having a big launch that soon after holidays is unlikely.

I really hope it comes in Jan. I want my Sims to have a baby but I'm waiting for the update.

EA’s fiscal year ends in March. They’ll want the two EP’s to be released before then. Frost said that infants were coming early and didn’t even mention anything about the 2 packs. Has to be in mid or 1st week of January for the infant update.

I'm almost 100% sure they are never going to release 2 expansion packs before April next year.

They mentioned 2 EP's next year. I think one of them will come 'early' next year and the other one probably at the end of 2023.

I'm figuring the same, I'm thinking May/June/July for the 1st one and then November/December for the 2nd one.

It would be great if we had a January release for babies then a May release for generations (if that's what the first expansion is), just like we had with toddlers/parenthood. Although I wouldn't complain if they released the expansion earlier haha
