Do you think we are going to get apartments, or tall townhomes with growing together?

The townhouses would be more to my liking. Tiny lots with postage stamp backyards barely large enough for a swing set and a BBQ area, then a 3-story home with views of the city and harbor. I think this pack will have many different types of outdoor areas chock full of activities that will be perfect for everyone looking for something to do. And as San Sequoia is being represented as a city in California, the kind of lifestyle our Sims will have will be very different from the ones they have in the other worlds. Vacationing in places with snow will have more meaning because there is seldom snow in their home world. Granite Falls and Mount Korarabi will seem like trips to Lake Tahoe or to the ski resorts at Mount Shasta. Land in the real world is expensive and not everyone can afford to purchase acreage, so building up rather than building massive single-story homes makes more sense. And gives more weight to having parks, walking trails and a community center to visit whenever being at home becomes boring. But time will tell if my vision of the new world matches the team's. I realize there are two other neighborhoods to consider, but we will know more about those during the March3 Live Stream.

honestly with the amount of suburban house worlds we have could we at least have some new freaking siding colors for base game ones

give me the rainbow and more maybe I'll actually enjoy building them then

also like more colorful/contrasting swatches not just like white with yellow tint

that has never looked good in the game and you know it

I like the look of the warehouse store, would have been nice to have it as a real functional lot.

It's only the thumbnail of TS4 trailer playlist

Yeah, that’s the picture I was talking about. What do you mean by thumbnail of the TS4 trailer playlist?

This is the Console Launch house that is on the Maxis Gallery. It's not new and it's not related to the new EP.

if these are just shells at very least give me those window, door and siding swatches we don't currently have

i feel like second one at least can't be actual lot though because it has door that i think is from the industrial kit

and unless theres new carage doors those are city living

would love to be proved wrong on that tho

also if the first house is just shell I already know I am going to be upset that we can't sit on those chairs just like in tartosa there was those ridiculous fake chairs

aand theres debug plants all over these which kind of says thats just a shell to me

that all said there could be similar building without shell stuff thats actually apartment or something

Well, with every expansion we do get a new build mode feature like cottage living was ponds.. snowy escape was platforms.. so I wonder what's next I'm praying spiral staircases!

We normally get a Build Mode feature, but with a major Live Mode feature coming this time (Infants) I don't know if there will be one for Build Mode at this time.

Please please please let this be true! Even if it's just one apartment complex on one lot, I'll take it!

I was so gutted when it looked like this new world would just be yet another suburbia with standard single family house lots. While the other two neighbourhoods look to be yet another carbon copy of what we already have: An urban commercial neighbourhood (Anchorpoint Wharf) with the standard city venues and background set decorations (ie: a rabbit hole theatre, museum, bar, karaoke bar, art centre/recreation centre), and the other neighbourhood (Gilbert Gardens) delegated for outdoor parks and recreation. At least the splash park is something new and different, so 'yay' for that.

San Sequoia seems to be the standard neighbourhood layout formula we already have in so many of the other worlds: A commercial downtown area, a park-like recreation area, and a single home residential area.

I was really hoping for something more unique this time around (ie: an entire street of row houses, or duplexes, or single apartment suites overtop of businesses in the downtown area). But it doesn't look to be that way. *heavy sigh*

Maybe I'm wrong and they've deviated from the norm for this one....?

@Simmingal I agree, I'd love those windows, doors & siding swatches from the first pic (need more more vibrant/coloful versions than what we have). And those chairs you mentioned too ?.

Wow. I just opened my game and looked at this lot... you're right, it is the Console Launch house. Why would they use that in a new EP game trailer?

Ugh... nothing new to see here folks, move along. So so very disappointing... :|
