The console players would miss out on the new patch if it's holiday content; therefore I think it's something new for the base game.

That's a very interesting choice of words for Maxis, that I hope actually delivers..... I hope it's something actually exiting and entertaining instead of just more cosmetic garbage. I haven't played TS4 in a long time or bought any packs because they simply don't seem worth it and this game has not been entertaining to me for quite a while. It's (still) shallow and boring and the EP's don't help. At this point I would just really like a personality/trait rework, hell an AI overhaul would be amazing, the sims in this game are awful and only serve the purpose of posing for taking "quirky" screenshots. While that could be fun for your casual player who's used to mobile games, it's not for someone who actually wishes to play the sims like before.

Meh, I doubt this "big announcement" will actually be anything worth hyping. It's probably just going to be some holiday trinkets.Honestly, I'm more interested in whatever they're going to say about the knitting pack. I hope they show off some sketches of the art styles they've been working on. I want to see what styles they're going for.

I play 4 the same way I've been playing for 20 years.

I am excited because they rarely ever use language as "big announcement"! They know it would get us hyped so this must be something that's actually substantial!

Hmmm, maybe they are doing a roadmap for the next six months again... From now till June 1 GP and 1 EP would be great!

''Big'' can mean anything when it comes to what they mean.
Heck they are already excited about a table and a chair.

Improved Babies or Cars, that's big in my book.

Right now, I honestly hope it's an update with bug fixes.

Bug fixes are a given. One of the fixes is probably the food spawning in the dorms.

No Frost confirmed that isn't happening in the Maxis Monthly Today on Twitter.

Having read through the twitter thread, I'm leaning towards gallery for Consoles, which would be big - if irrelevant for me. :smile: But it will be good for console players. Even better if Console and PC/Mac have access to the same gallery, since it will mean more people who can share awesome builds.

I don't expect Holiday content, since they just released some to us last month.

I hope it'll be something good, though.

Better babies, please!! I can't believe after all these years, babies are still just (pretty creepy looking) objects with no personality whatsoever.

...oh, and December 16th is my birthday - an update like that would be a perfect gift! :smiley:
