Do you think we will get a special feature for the base game before For Rent comes out?

I'm thinking we might get some kind of update for changes to the UI.

The new pack has a lot of new features and changes to the UI in terms of setting up rental lots and multi-family dwellings... so maybe something related to multi-family lots for the base game UI build menu?

If I remember correctly we always got one free Base Game feature for each EP, so my answer ist yes.

I think we will get some kind of fix for how lots are categorized. If the new rental units should be added to in the future, they might need to be partly a base game feature - not by UI function but more like in the background. BG will of course not get rental units, but there might be other changes affected by this.

Somehow I can see hopscotches being added to bg, because I want to see them on community grounds in more worlds than Tomarang. It's a global kids activity, and if sims can't draw them on ground anywhere, the game should have them pre-drawn in at least some hoods of bg worlds like Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Magnolia Promenade (is Newcrest a bg freebie world, too?). I'd love to see them added by EA in most worlds tgough.

Maybe the exterminator is base game, we'll see

Possibly the long rumored update to the worlds screen?

there seemed to be a sim speaking sign language in the for rent reveal trailer, so i really hope sign language is coming to the base game

I agree that some of the build mechanics of this might be made base game, not rental units obviously, but if they want to add multi purpose lots in the future, some features might be put in base game to expand on later. I doubt that in itself will be something we notice however.

I also doubt hopscotch will be base game. It's been mentioned too much in the trailer. It will be like a basketball court, you can put it in any world you want - as long as you have the pack.

Possibly we'll get some Thai inspired food, hairstyles and clothing, to tease the content and world. Otherwise I have a hard time imagining what we'll get, but then I suck at guessing. I'll just wait and see I suppose. :smile:

I would love the world map update however. With weather control, seasons control, holiday control (on a world by world basis) and club control. A simmer can dream...

I know it is unlikely but I would like another free world in the basegame update. It can be empty like newcrest but I would like some larger lots for building apartments. My worlds are all pretty fill, especially my large lots.

Oh yes, seasons control is a big one. I love how TS3 did it. You have all 4, but you can either change the length in days of each season cycle or you can toggle an entire season off all together if you want. TS4 desperately needs a system like that.

I would think so. Giving us a freebie teaser of a pack's features entices us to buy the pack, in theory.
