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.

Return of SimGuruCopeland and the Store !

I hope a store NEVER makes a return! It was sooo overpriced and awful.

Completely agree. The Stuff Packs aren't enough? If we get a store, people will be flipping out even more about "splitting content". Instead of ten bucks for a category of items, we'd be spending five for an outfit. But I wouldn't be surprised if they added a store. Microtransactions and all that. Everyone is doing it. :/

I'm surprised they actually said it's a "big" announcement. That does make it sound like a structural change of some sort or the addition of something that's in demand. But I don't want to think on a large scale because disappointment is inevitable. It could be one of those things that they've said they're working on like a pond tool or swimming in all worlds. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that for now. The only things I'm actually interested in for base game adjustments at this point are Fear, something that adds to or improves Sim personalities, or overhauls of core mechanics.

Store worlds like Auro Skies and store sets like More Magic or the Mid Century series defined TS3 more than any pack and had more content than 7 TS4 EPs. The closing of the store was one of the fatal flaws of TS4 (the other was the back-to-the 90s re-introduction of closed worlds).

I also do not want the store to return. I like the SPs.

I really hope it's news about the Steam release. Make it even better by having a big sale at the same time. :smile:

Am I the only one hoping for big bug fixes especially uni bug fixes instead of content? I don't even have uni because all of the bugs people are reporting..fix the bugs so we can happily play the content!

I'm in the same boat. I haven't played in months because of all the bugs people are reporting. I've bought University but haven't even installed it yet.

Some Steam news are possible but they wouldn't call that 'big' news since it was announced already and it'd be only about details. And I'd presume Steam and Origin sales would be matched anyway.

When we're spewing out ideas... what about a new empty world for the base game? That'd be nice - more so if it had a bunch of large lots (50x50 at least, 64x64 would be perfect).

I don’t know what it is, but I sure wouldn’t mind that couch! Or all of these actually.
