The embargo lifts at 8am PT. Does anyone know if the game changers tend to release posts at 8am exactly or around then? Or will they come out later in the day in bits and pieces? 8am PT is 5pm in my time zone and I have something on evening.

There should be a fair amount of them scheduled for exactly 8am PT but expect more info to come little by little, specially because most of the Youtuber GC separate the footage into different categories. For example, they'll have a CAS/BB video, then a couple of hours later a Gameplay one, then another one with the world and first impressions, etc

Okay great thanks! Then I'll be able to watch some before I go out and some afterwards.

2 hrs 41 minutes!!!!!!

boy that's early for ca. geesh its only 5 thirty am there

I think I'm not going to watch any of them. I miss the days when the players was able to discover things on their own , to me it takes away from the experience of exploring the game for oneself .

I get that a lot. It feels like, whenever i watched those Videos, there is NOTHING left to discover by my own. It's barely like with the Sims 3 where you would discover new things even after years…
This Videos tend to be just waaay to long and waaay to revealing. I think LGR does a really good job at reviewing, getting straight to the point, but also he doesnt showcase anything, hes Videos are short.
But since i still want to know what to expect, i read a a lot (like that one from the cc creator) and dont watch any videos or pictures. But no guides and tutorials.

2 hrs 46 minutes!!!!!!

Glass floors? Oh I hope so! It was one of the things I requested way back in my island getaway thread!

By this map, it would offer many things for the vacationer, with a dive school/gym, pool bars, kids recreation area, etc.

Villas would be priced accordingly with the ones over the water being more expensive than on the main beach. I know they wouldn't be able to have as many as that, but a couple of lots for each is fine.

It would add new collectibles, fish, and new skills could be diving, or rock climbing. It would add a new collection of seashells. Perhaps a dig will bring you an ancient tome that you must solve the riddle of to find a hidden area to explore.

New moods would be blissful or tranquil. New trait would be water lover.

Any other ideas you think would go with it?

pool waterfalls for the pools
sun loungers
outdoor umbrellas
floating chairs and animals for the kids.

Looks like glass floors to me! Hopefully we can put them inside the house too, if we can build a house out over the water.

Looking at the above pictures really makes me wish that they will introduce roof swatches in a future update. I would be happy with anything like a choice between white, black, grey and brown. But that's me nit picking, it's not a top priority by any means
