Empty-ish Quarter?

In view of Guru Kate's comment, and the steady yearly decline in packs issued, I expect Q3 to be pack-less with one coming in Q4 (Oct-Dec) for the shopping season. If we get anything it would be part of a periodic update/patch.

I hope not. The only way I'd be fine with this quarter being packless after Seasons is with a Car Update.

I agree. It wouldn't have to necessarily be cars for me, but I would hope for some sort of a major update. A pool stuff pack would be great IMO. If I'm really enthusiastic, I'd also love another gamepack in Q3 as I expect another expansion before the holidays. It would be a shame if they did less gamepacks AND stuffpacks just to increase to 2 EPs a year.

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.

they have done so many packs for outdoor tho.


perfect patio
romantic garden
backyard stuff
toddler stuff



how about


new items for newborn
strollers and baby bath/change/dress.

day care for toddlers with new fun items and clothing

new toys for kids including tree houses, play tag, hide and seek


teens ,create a band, including drum set, singing. new items , clothing and basement bedroom.
prom.


elders,
walking sticks, feed ducks or birds. go to bingo or dance club. pottery

Honestly I'd take more outdoor stuff because I feel like we're still lacking somehow.....but many of those things, I don't want for SP's.

I do think we should get a baby update and that's all I'm going to say about babies.

I'd like SP's to introduce more architectural styles or expand some of the current ones that are lacking like the Art Deco theme of Vintage Glamour, I'd like more stuff of it, especially to exteriors. And I definitely want SP's to introduce new buy mode assets, like actual modular sofas, sliding doors, king sized beds for sims, irregular/triangular shaped windows, etc instead of just res-kin over re-skin over re-skin.

I am hoping for something in August, July is a lost cause at this point. I also have higher expectations for stuff packs now since they're changing things up and we'll be getting less of them. This means more objects, more CAS assets and more gameplay items. They better make them worth content droughts.

Pool stuff pack? I expect a diving board, slide and lounge chairs minimum since this stuff pack will be the only one for the rest of the year seemingly.

You won't get lounge chairs in a SP. Graham said those would have to come in a GP or EP. Now Pool Waterfalls,Floaties,Pool Slides and Possibly Pool Bars are something I'd like to see in a Pool Sp along with the option to make round pools in build mode.

I don't care about what they have said in the past. Things are different now. They did this to themselves.

@catloverplayer I don't think you should look for a pool related pack until 2019 if ever. I hope you come around to the changes because I see you saying "we always" and we are on a whole new playing field, I don't want to see you upset :)

Even Graham said they might do a Pool Stuffpack in the future. Pool slides have been part of the Sims since TS2. Same with Pool Floats and I want Pool Waterfalls and Pool Bars to return from TS3. It's a given were getting more pool items it's just a matter of when. They may do them in a Tropical Beach Vacation Pack. I just don't want to wait till next year.

We can speculate all we want, but the decisions are made by the suits, not the devs. The suits care about only 1 thing, keeping the stock/stakeholders happy, which means what makes for the largest bottom line.
