Ep5?

SimGuruGrant said on the latest livestream that possibly the next(?) EP could be an idea that he really wants to make, but he ruled out that it would be a dystopian fallout-esque pack or any sort of disaster survival pack, so what could he have been talking about? I don't think it's seasons because that's such a standard EP he wouldn't make a fuss over it, and thanks to SimGuruSarah's tweet we know University isn't in the works, and I don't think they would do another animal based pack like Horses or farming immediately after C&D, so I think it could be a whole new theme all together.

    I wouldn't be surprised if when we do get seasons that it is missing a lot of key features, that whats been happening with all of the packs for Sims 4. Honestly, all I'm hoping for in 2018 from the sims 4 is at least one pack that has all the features that we've had in the past.


    Unfortunately Maxis is dead set on doing whatever they can to be ‘different’ even if that involves cutting popular features.


    Lbr though, if they ditched the Vet career and added Horses and Small Pets with that budget instead, they would have been dragged more.

    They were always going to undeliver to the “hard to please” crowd.

    The choice was C&D or the Sims 3 Pets 2.0

    The Vet is a reskin of restaurants. In no way would cutting Vets (a reskin of an already developed feature) allow them to add horses, maybe smaller pets though. You are inflating the cost of that. Most of the work was already done. First for retail, and then for dine out. Vet is the systems third go around and most of the issues plaguing the other two are still present which says they didn’t put a whole lot of work behind it.

    “Undeliver” is not a word. Not sure what you mean, nor what context you are trying to insert it in. However, please stop trying to rationalize the BAD choices and BAD leadership at Maxis by shifting blame to “hard to please” customers. Perhaps customers are no longer falling for the endless deceptive and exaggerated marketing? It’s a great thing that players are “hard to please” maybe they’ll force Maxis into making better packs.
