Generations might be REALLY coming soon (speculation)

So, I am not in for anything like that (I am still crossing my fingers for other contents) but since the Batuu GP I started noticing that those in the EA GameChanger program (and even a lot of other creators with a huge following) create contents that suggest what will be up next in a subtle way.

In the Generations case, for example, I see a lot of contents about it being delivered by a lot now.

Let's start with PLUMBELLA: she created two videos about how sims 3 generations was amazing and how much she wants it back.
First video was uploaded 11 months ago and second video just a week ago.
I KNOW - she loves ts3. But follow me into the next step.

LILSIMSIE made a lot of family contents lately:
- on january 1st she posted a video with a wishlist of all the things she wants for ts4; it is ALL about generations; just this, nothing more than a generations pack;
- various new vids are about buildind mansions for families (with a lot of babies too) and some on how fast they grow or how much does it cost to raise a baby;

DELIGRACY too is building MANSIONS.
It is like everybody likes mansions lately!

Last, MSGRYPHI just built a large Tudor family home and a family cottage.

I researched more and more before coming up with this and A LOT of creators are delivering starter home for families or family related contents.

What do you think about it?

    It did seem for Snowy Escape that the Game Changers/Influencers did more for the pack than the developers did themselves. Yes we had absolutely stunning build items and a change of scenery. But It was scant on new features. Yes we had things like skiing but it was shallow like watching an animation from a mobile game or an online lotto card even.

    Generations speaks to me more as a feature intensive pack. It's something that has the potential to be so pervasive to the game and current packs that a risky developer would consider it a major relaunching update to the base game to attract people back rather than sell it as an expansion at all.

    We can all make wish-lists for the activities for each generation but I do wonder how much of it will be rabbit holes, rather than advancing the series.


    If so, and I really hope this is the case, might be a good way for them to relaunch the game and try to fix it.

    In the end, about Snowy Escape: there were several CC creators (and also Game Changers) that created asian related contents prior to knowing about Snowy Escape (Felixandre, for example).
    And to add more: when we just were speculating over the icon of the Batuu pack, some Game Changers were discovered hinting at a space pack way before we knew it was about space in their tumblr, with both quotes and CC space-related.


    And one of the GC's who created the SE lots leaked it on their live stream too. I still feel bad for the person who pointed that out and got jumped on by the fan boys swearing they had photoshopped a fake picture.


    And she got blocked from the GC too?? after being a long time excited fan and follower, doing what any excited fan would do. I lost my respect after that.


    Who was the game changer if you don’t mind my asking?
