Sorta been hoping for more info on this. I assume they are trying to have the Ailment Toggle ready for this patch as well, but I wonder what else we can look forward to in this patch.

I've been holding out committing to a new game play till we know more about the skin customization and/or just wait for the patch. 

Already wanting next road map XD I know they like to hold out for suspense and anticipation. But I just like to know what is going on for next packs, patches, plans, etc. because it makes use feel like we are more apart of the franchise/game rather than just customers :P

hope it's some option to paint things onto sims, like with the tattoo system from Businesses & Hobby. I know it's weird and I doubt we'll get it, but I already use the system to give my sims beauty marks. Either that, or a sort of system to drag and place birthmarks, beauty marks, vitiligo spots wherever we want.

Going off the illustration, something to do with books, perhaps?  😉

There is no telling what will be in this update.  I do know this though.  Gamespot news and some other sites have been spreading the news that the Sims 5 will not be coming out.   This is only 1 of the articles I read that have been talking about it  to the public, since July.  You can copy and paste link if you wish to read it.  I unlinked it intentionally.

Yeah I was pretty bummed out from reading that. Developing games takes a very long time, a sims5 would not come out until at least 2030, I don't think people who bought Seasons in 2018 would complain about having to buy a new sims game with seasons again. So many years have passed since then so I think they need to start working on The Sims 5 now. The Sims 4 will still be around.

Anyway, my guess is that this update has something to do with skin details, or maybe something more related to CAS as I seem to recall that they also mentioned that they want to look into improving townies.

Oh, I was sure this was announced long ag. At least I thought it was decided at least last Winter. I now see that I might have based my convincement on false stuff - or on pure imagination, perhaps.

In a way I'm glad we won't need to sart from scratch again. Not quite sure I'd been on that train.

I'm ready and steady to start this game over.

I have several clones of me in deep freeze hibernation...just waiting for the next gen game in The Sims series. 

I can't wait for the year 3065. I'm gonna be a teen again!

Happy for any updates in this game.🙂

Sims 5 not being "a thing" has been known for a few years now at least. Project Rene was openly stated to not be "Sims 5" several times and they've extpressed a few times that they do not intend to make a new mainline title any time soon and everything else is spinoffs/"alternate experiences". Even Project Rene seems to have transformed into an odd mobile game instead of a full scale spinoff.

I hope this "update" doesn't break too many things. *sigh*

I hope this update doesn't mess up occult skin tones. I think they will have thought everything through for realistic skintones for correct representation but hopefully they consider the fantasy elements as well
