At this point I think it could well be a lootbox/microtransaction system, likely based on the one in the mobile game.

That would not be a new experience - we actually had grab bag loot boxes in Sims 3 store. You never knew what would be in them but it lured you in with the fact there was always some set or premium item possible in any grab bag goodie boxes. It said you wouldn't get duplicates but you did - all the time. I was gullible and bought a few - so I know I got many duplicates - so did others - so they eventually pulled them out of the store.

Remember it said "next Sims 4 experiences"

I still think they mean the console and mobile versions - and maybe a stuff pack as there is usually a new stuff pack right around EA Play/E3. Last year I laughed when they made a big deal out that new Sims 4 experience - The Fitness stuff pack. Which was not new to the sims - we had all that stuff before and fitness was not even new to Sims 4 seeing we already had exercise equipment in the game, but the rock wall. So maybe we really need to take that statement with a grain of salt.

The way things get defined around here - wouldn't surprise me if the new Sims 4 experience was ending the Sim pc period, just so they have a gotcha moment - when in truth all they are doing is freaking people out . EA needs to man up and just come out with what they are doing - and get it over. The game might be designed for young teens - but they need to face facts the majority of Simmers have not seen 12 in a very long time. Secrecy does one thing - it causes stress when the one with the secret already has an established reputation for closing down studios....
