countryside living expansion is probably coming soon.

i made this comment back on August 21, 2019 and turns out i was right about them stairs. with that being said, i think EP08 will be about country side living / farming expansion.

edit 1: sorry for some sort of a clickbait title but i'd want a lot of people talking about this cos we have some solid hints right here everyone. uwu

edit 2: deleted the irrelevant stuff and changed the title

for now, i'm kinda basing this on facts and solid factors i guess.

as we all know, simgurugrant tweeted a few voting polls regarding possible new features and lifestates back in 2018. we had something about voting on occult life states, new stair types, and surprisingly farming as a new expansion.

the witches and mermaid lifestate were topping the voting polls.

now that we got ~~watered-down~~ water thriving mermaids and a wide array of witches and wizard of all sort in real of magic. that is two down and two way to go. and a sims fansite has confirmed an 8th expansion is coming this 2019. so my bet is on farming and not univeristy cos why?

the said features are finally being delivered. a university themed expansion suits best on graduation season, perhaps on June 2020, a school themed pack releasing on christmas kinda sounds silly .who would have thought that Get Famous was released on christmas and not Island lving.

im cool with having a university expansion although im just more excited for a country side farming gameplay i guess, however, i truly don't see university coming anytime sooner or later.

i know university in on high demand till this day but the polls speak to themselves. this university hype train has happened after the polls so initial decisions might have not changed.

anyways, that's the tea.

Unless we're in an ice age, that never happens. There is never a point when "most" of the world is getting snow. Even in winter, the entire northern hemisphere does not get covered in snow.

And anyway, when it's summer, I like to play with a cold theme, and watch wintery movies, when it's winter, I like slightly warmer themes. I'm sure there's others who would love to play with farm themes when it's winter outside.

Now that they seem to have expanded on the Horse coding in the game files, I can see that happening, for sure.

And I wouldn't mind that being the next EP.

Finally a new idea for once.

However I hope they bring back a Generations GP/EP too, because I feel we are missing hobbies, strollers, baby overhaul, more child activities etc for our Sims.

Either way, I've already decided on which packs and expansions I'm getting in the next several months. I only have a small hobby fund, and I get money for Xmas and my Birthday. That's what I use to buy Sims 4 stuff, which I don't buy much. That being said, after Get Together, Realm of Magic, the Halloween Stuff pack, and the Romantic Gardens Stuff pack, I would probably get Island Living and either of those expansions. Personally, there are a few packs and an expansion I don't ever intend to buy >.> but that's personal taste. If I had to weigh between College and Farming..... I would rather have farming. I went to college irl.... I went to college in Sims 2.... I don't really feel like it's something that's necessary for me. I WOULD like them to bring back systems such as boarding school, expand on after school activities, and that sort of thing. Those are systems and objects I can get behind. Heck... I'd love it, if they would bring in exercise bikes, slides for older kids, and the child stoves. I don't see them ever doing that, but it would be nice. Farming would be a little more relaxing than college work.

Besides the spiral stairs winning the vote and us getting the other stair options it sure looks like these polls were put out just before or during development of these items and obviously they went with the L-shape because it did not require new animations.

To me, this all seems a little far-fetched. First of all, it'll be late fall in the northern hemisphere, where The Sims "headquarters" is located. It really doesn't make sense to release a farming pack when for most of the world it's snowing.

Actually, it totally makes sense, although this is why I think it would be most fitting to get it in February rather than November. If you farm, or garden, in real life, you know that you start to plan for the next growing season during the winter. In, say, North America, it is common to buy seeds around December-January, plan out your garden over the winter, and start your seeds indoors in early February-early March depending on your region. So winter is exactly the period that you are dreaming of spring and starting new life inside so that you can entertain yourself just as you are getting tired of all the bleak weather outside. I love the idea of having my little seeds poking out of the dirt in pots inside my actual house, at the same time that I'm planning and creating crops inside the game.

Farming would be a good expansion, just as long as it isn't rushed like that get famous where only career you get most famous out of it is Actor.

I really hope we do get a Farming / Country Living EP, perhaps the latter a little more, with the ability to buy lots as fields or pastures, as we can already with businesses. That way you can grow more crops and still be able to harvest them without having to make the lot retail. However, I truly hope it is nothing like GF. It's my least favourite EP.

I hope whatever new packs come, of whatever size, the team take on board the recent constructive criticism about the lack of quality control, it really needs to be addressed.

I would pay full price just for horses but a country living pack would be my top pick!

I think country living will be a Gamepack not an Expansion.
