Empty-ish Quarter?

Graham had said swings couldn't be done in a stuffpack and we finally got them in the Seasons EP. Sadly Picnic Baskets are on the list of things that can't work in a Stuffpack so hopefully we'll see those in the next expansion or gamepack.

Just speculating. Do you guys think this quarter will be paid DLC free Kate mentioned may happen? Not that there is any sign that'll happen but after dropping the Seasons bomb it wouldn't exactly surprise me either.

I hope not. I want a Pool Stuffpack. Normally we get a Summer Themed Pack.

Yeah but I think stuff packs are a thing of the past so we'll probably get a game pack in September. This makes a long summer for Simmers.

I've barely scratched the surface of Seasons so I'm not ready for more paid content anyway. I'll be happy with more bug fixes and continued work on the Gallery.

That tweet about "summer of sims" though. It looked like its purpose was to promise something.

I would like to get a new stuff pack. The last one wasn't good in my opinion, putting the money grabbing antics aside the content was weak. I always like getting new CAS items.

Releasing a summer themed stuff pack right after Seasons is something they would totally do. Also we've been getting an outdoor focused stuff pack every summer since the start so it's very much possible.

Not every player bought Seasons -- a Pool Party SP would help them a lot. But I can see them taking a break from SPs to re-evaluate the strategies after the way the community reacted to MFP. I've been playing with the pack and it's really not that bad -- if you look past the items that are totally derivative of Cats & Dogs, the small animals are actually fun and useful. Children can Study Rodent and that counts as doing their homework; I always like options. You can also Talk To the little guys and help satisfy the Social need.

No pack because I think they wait for the Console team.
The goal may be an improvement of the development in order to release the upcoming packs at the same date for PC/Mac and Console.

Previously the delay between The Sims 2 PC and Mac versions caused EP7 FreeTime and EP8 Apartment were never released for Mac because The Sims 3 was the highest priority.

Maybe they try to avoid to repeat it.

Console players are still waiting for 10 packs (16 packs done in 10 months) :

EP02 Get Together

EP05 Seasons

GP01 Outdoor Retreat

GP02 Spa Day

GP06 Jungle Adventures

SP04 Spooky Stuff

SP05 Movie Hangout Stuff

SP10 Bowling Stuff

SP11 Fitness Stuff

SP14 My First Pet Stuff

I dunno. More people own macs nowadays compared to 2008 or whatever. I feel like since then they just make them simultaneously and the process of converting them is probably easier.
