I’ve seen quite a few places with bunk beds, hotels, hostels, b&b’s even the cabins in my local mini cruise ship to mainland Europe has them. Maybe it’s a European thing?

Generation pack? Sounds interesting, but I would say it could also be focusing on the life stages below the YA. Perhaps, something related to education or school activities.

Honestly I'm surprised I haven't already heard anyone talking about this, but for anyone who doesn't know the Sims team announced in the anniversary livestream that Bunk Beds are coming at the end of March.

Obviously this seems a pretty random time to release an item so it makes logical sense that it's going to be in a pre pack update. And looking at the possible upcoming packs, there's only really one pack that it would make sense with - Generations. They also did the same with ladders last year, they were added in a pre pack patch before Eco Lifestyle so it makes sense that they would do the same again and then with the pack they'd include more versions of bunk beds

If you look at the release timetable it also perfectly adds up. Eco Lifestyle came out at the start of June, 5 months later Snowy Escape came out at the start of November. 5 months after that is... the start of April. There's also usually two other releases between expansions, people have been theorising game packs but I think these "kits" mark the second release so it's very likely an expansion will be next after them.

If you look at the calender, it also all makes sense timescale wise. The bunk bed announcement specified late March so I'd assume the last few days of March, patches usually come out on a Tuesday and the last Tuesday is the 30th aka the very end of March. Expansions usually come out on Fridays, so this would mean that if I'm right the pre-pack update with bunk beds will happen on March 30th, and the pack will come out April 2nd!


So if this is right, which is an if but I think it's likely, this is the timeline I'm expecting

• Kits Annoucement (Confirmed): March 2nd
  
• Kits Release: March 5th
  
• 16th/9th March: Generations Trailer Reveal
  
• March 30th: Pre-Pack Update (With Bunk Beds!)
  
• April 2nd: Generations Released
  

I think from what we've seen kits are gonna be a quick release, they're gonna announce them and then push them out the same week. The pre-pack patch for kits most likely was the anniversary patch hence why all the details have been leaked as they were included in the code for the patch. I think they also know kits are gonna be controversial hence why they announced bunk beds early at the same time..

(And also not to brag but I'd also like to point out that last May I posted that a winter vacation is very likely to come out that fall and I think that was one of the first speculation threads made on it last year, and I also posted that there was gonna be a vacuuming pack last June so yknow...)

Bunk beds could release with Resorts and Hotels as well.

Are there ever any resort or hotels that provide bunk beds in their rooms?

I’ve never been to a hotel with Bunkbeds I really don’t understand why people think that The two correlate with each other it makes way more sense for bunkbeds to come with a generation or a child who pack and that’s what I think will be next Not hotels or resorts even though I know many people want them I just don’t see that being the next game pack or expansion pack

Iron Seagull has mentioned he's seen hotels with bunk beds.

I have personally never seen any standard hotels with bunk beds, but yes to youth hostels or any backpackers accommodations because I've been to many of its. Perhaps, he is referring to boutique hotels, which might offer such option.

Then again, I doubt the bunk bed is considered as a hint for hotel/resort. Bunk bed itself associated with family, kids, youth, etc. However, it's possible to build our own boutique hotel if there's a hotel / resort pack in the future.

Interesting speculation. I said in another thread that if these bunk beds come in a pre-pack patch, it is very likely that this pack will be kids or family-related (could be generations, school, or something similar). My bet is on a school pack (could be primary schools or high schools, or both).
If we get that kind of pack, I hope improved babies will be patched in as well.

Me too, my game is like on hold because I am waiting for a baby update...

My families with babies are on hold waiting for a baby update too.

They won't release a big pack so shortly after the first kits. That would take away the hype.

My game isn’t *exactly* on hold, since I play something like 1 season per month on average and none of my main Sims are supposed to have kids for another 6-7 in-game years, but I hope we get a nooboo update soon.

Hype?

The only ones I'm seeing hyped are the Gurus themselves.

I am kind of hyped for the vacuum kit, wasn't really happy about Paranormal personally, but happy for Simmers who liked it.

And that's absolutely fine.

But be aware that the people buying into this whole 'Kit' money milking idea are also the ones enabling them doing more of this in the future.
They are just testing the community how far they can go.

Packs are already very barebones as it is, and by splitting up requested features even more, packs are surely not going to become any better.

It's totally fine that people are excited for a vacuum cleaner in the game, but there is absolutely no excuse in the world why the stuff they are now trying to sell as micro DLC's couldn't have been part of other packs instead..

This whole kit idea is just nickel and diming the community -once again- but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that there are a lot of people still buying it, so the only winner will be EA in the end, and they absolutely love it.

And yes, Sims 3 had a store too, and yes, I also found that to be very overpriced and ridiculous. The only difference compared to Sims 4 is that The Sims 3 had packs that were full of content and deep/rich gameplay to keep you entertained long enough until the next pack came out.

I actually think the kits are a good idea. I see the money milking, but this could be great nevertheless. It's always such a long waiting time until we get new packs and then there's months and months without any new content.

And if the next pack is something that doesn't fit my playstyle (like Paranormal), then it's nothing for me AGAIN and another few more months of waiting.

So I'll be happy to get some kits I like in the meantime. I'd love for them to throw out 2-4 kits each month for various playstyles, CAS and build/buy styles. I especially like the gameplay kit idea with the vacuumers. Of course these shouldn't cost more than 2,99-4,99$, won't spend more money than that as it's not much content in those. But I love the idea and I hope we'll have some family stuff coming along with the kits.

I don't need to get them all and I certainly won't.
