The gurus have been posting a lot of food pictures on twitter and we have that pig chef sculpture that is supposed to be hinting at something.A lot of people have been saying it's a hint at the next EP, and that it would be based on cooking reality shows and all that. But what if it's hinting at an update for Dine Out?I remember last year or in the beggining of this year, there was a survey about packs we would like to see updated and improved and, for what I remember, Dine Out was one of the most voted packs.What if they're updating the pack to add the chef career? I personally would love if we were able not only to run, but also to cook in our own restaurants (and I would love even more if the next EP is not related to food).

Isn't there already a chef career as a branch of a base game career, the other branch being mixology?

The culinary chef/bartender career is base game, indeed.Anyway, anything is possible, but I seriously doubt it. It would be the first pack revamp yet, so I'd have to see it to believe it. Other surveys have mentioned a possible "culinary quest" theme for a pack which is much more likely if it's a hint.

A lot of simmers were disappointed that in Dine Out we can run restaurants but not actually be the cook. That's what I was talking about.

I doubt they'd update Dine Out- they never update packs after release. :/ They could update the base game culinary career, which could be interesting. They could turn it into an active career.

Could the cooking hints be related to a Dine Out update?

While they did have a survey about updating existing packs, I wouldn't hold my breath. They've never updated a pack before, and I doubt they will considering the tight leash EA has them under to make as much money as possible. Does updating an existing pack help EA make money? No, that is unless there is a PR scandal, like with the skin tones....

I don't think they technically need to make the culinary career in a restaurant. Maybe it will be more like a celebrity/ game show chef? I believe celebrity chef is one of the final career levels.

Personally I would love it if they added it in so that I could play as the chef! I expected that to have been part of the pack in the beginning and surprised (and a little disappointed) that it wasn't.

It still could make them money to update the pack as well. Not everyone has all of the packs and anyone still on the fence with this one could be persuaded and it renews a fresh interest in an older pack, especially for newer players to the series.

Yes when they added Toddlers.

Toddlers were added to the base game.

No, they have never added content to a pack via patch, but, according to the survey I mentioned, they plan on doing so (or maybe they were just fooling us).

I could be wrong, but I thought the cooking hints were for the yummy recipes that came with the 10/6 patch. I do hope they'll continue to add more recipes from other cultures in future patches, and maybe patch in the descriptive details to previous recipes (like the Selvadorada dishes or the City Living food cart dishes).

When toddlers released, they technically added alien toddlers to Get to Work. They added an alien diaper for toddlers in Get to Work when toddlers came out.
