I certainly hope so!

I hope those baby hair hairs are an alternative to existing hairstyles, not a replacement. Not everyone likes baby hairs. 

The free build items are nice. Finally more colours for the pirate ship. 

And of course an event. But I was expecting bad news when it comes to events. After all the abandoned projects, this is the one project they keep going unfortunately. At least we get time off to play our own stories in a relaxed way for the rest of this month . 

And loads of kits obviously. I expect some of those items will be nice. But I would have preferred some proper DLC that adds more than just looks. 

All in all this seems like a mixed announcement. Some good news like more items and at least one kit that looks interesting.

The Sims 25th Anniversary Interview with VP of Franchise Creative Lyndsay Pearson

So I only have one question - are those phones functional or not?

EmmaVane - I assume that the “Birthday Cake” will finally mark the return of the Entertainers. If not, I’m going to be incredibly disappointed.

Mersea jumped out of a cardboard cake during the intro...

The "Birthday Cake" event reward actually has castors on the bottom...

So is it a return of this favourite from The Sims: House Party?

I'm looking forward to more clothing and build/buy options in these Creator Kits; therefore I want more from these Creator Kits. These creators make marvelous cc for the game and it's nice to see options from talented creators that are in the game.

I agree with everything except the kits. I love my kits and packs. They add more to my game. This is a 90% agree.😏

Okay, I'm gonna have to break this one down.

Create-a-Sim

• Always happy to see new CAS items, and I appreciate the focus on basic clothing items. I'm always looking for versatile options, with any new CAS content.
• Love that they've updated a few of the base game hairstyles, and added in baby hairs. I hope that there will be two versions though, one with the baby hairs and one without. I also wish they would update the textures of all base game hairstyles, to bring them more in-line with what's offered as DLC.

Build and Buy Mode

• Very happy to be getting new kitchen counters! Once again, I appreciate the basic style. These counters should blend in nicely with a variety of interior styles.

Main Menu Update

• It's definitely an improvement over what we had, but it doesn't come close to the Refreshed Main Menu by SimMattically. I do like that our household is on full display in the centre, but that's about all I like. I hate shades of blue, it's one of the worst colours to use with digital displays/monitors if you suffer with eye problems.
• Also, I am so over this new font that they keep using. It's terrible, and I wish they'd just go back to using Kabel or The Sims Sans again.

Base Game Home Updates

• Sure, I think this one was long overdue. However, if they're only going to update certain lots, instead of all of them, then what's really the point?
• On a side note, I actually liked the exterior of the Garden Essence lot as it was originally, I think it just needed more outdoor furnishing and landscaping.

Hybrid Kits and Creator Kits

• Honestly, I kinda just don't care anymore. Unless it's a theme that I'm really interested in (such as the Atomic Age) then I just feel indifferent. I usually pick them up at some point.
• I am a little curious about Madlen's Business Chic kit. Those stilettos look high and I'm here for it! I get tired of kitten heels and mid heels, so it's nice that we're getting proper high heels for once. Let's see how they look in-game first though.
