I mean, there was a theme for each life state, but no overall theme beyond that, and "Generations" itself isn't really a theme.

Sims 4 can develop those themes into individual packs, and I believe it was said somewhere that such was the plan. Do they need to get on the ball and get those packs out the door? Sure. Do we need more stuff for children, teens and elders? yes. I just don't get why some people insist that they come in all the same pack without also having some sort of cross generational theme beyond "growing up/old."

Because I don't want to buy 7000 packs to flesh out one theme (like they do at the moment). I don't want to pay 10 times for content that can come in one pack.

Imagine them selling cats/dogs and horses all in different packs. Or imagine them selling every season as a seperate pack all the time. No thanks.

Exactly! Or like a stuff pack for each uni degree ?

Well for me I like family play so it's only natural for me to want a whole pack based around it not that the stuff they put in other packs isn't appreciated it is

Knitting was the community voted pack, so I'd argue against that being something "no one wanted" as enough people voted for it. And I think the summer update was just the micro lights and naming cowplants, though I'd be happy to be wrong on that count. However, changing up Babies is a Major Change and the road map post implied that the summer additions weren't going to be major changes.

But I do think that something with babies is in the works, and schools/a further expansion for kids and teens as well. Whether we'll see them this year... I'm less certain.

As for a Generations inspired mini-update... eh, maybe. I mean, more family interactions are likely - especially if a child/teen school pack is coming, but probably nothing clearly intended as a "generations lite" patch.

That’s why I said ‘before the announcement’ yes people obviously wanted knitting because they voted before it, but no one was talking about it before.
The sims often say it’s nothing major and then it is. I would also class the summer update as being in what is the school kids summer holidays as they usually release things such as packs, updates, hints and sales during the holidays. So I wouldn’t say that was the update they were talking about

Honestly I really believe the next game pack will be something deal with kids if you guys remember sim guru grant was asked would they do an ep like the sims 3 generation for the four the sims 4 I can’t find the tweet at the moment but basically he responded that sims 3 generation wasn’t a big hit which was surprising because it’s one of my favorite expansion he went on to say that they would probably do something alone the lines of breaking each age group apart rather than an actually expansion.... which bring me to believe that the next game pack would be something for babies to kids only which would be something different and never done before on the last survey it’s was asking about high schools but did not say anything about elementary kids and younger that’s my thought hopefully we will find something out soon: )

Yesss! They did a kids stuff pack and toddlers. Maybe they will do a baby update and then a game pack to go along? Maybe a game pack because there’s a lot more to add for babies than toddlers and kids

I don’t think they would do an entire GP just for babies now I could see them doing one for babies toddlers and kids

I wish

A bunk bed definitely does not equal a toddler, that’s just completely unsafe. Though when the future cube mentioned it, i believe it is a bunk bed. But some were saying for a romance destination pack, which it just wouldn’t fit in either. I want to believe a generational type pack is coming but people in the past said parenthood is the generational pack. I hope they’re wrong. Remember in the survey they gave out about private schools? I really hope university was just like a small test between having 2 schools in one world or pack. I hope from DU Pack that they realized a private school(s) is possible. We going to find out soon enough, isn’t the 6month “roadmap” coming to an end

Does anybody remember which month the roadmap came out?

Because we’re paying for 3 packs instead of one with it all! I get the fact they have to make money but to make a pack in the last franchise for it all and then make us pay separately in the next is awful! The theme generations is referring to each life stage, each generation
