It feels a little too good to be true, the free updates are a bit ambitious, like playable pets and world editor. And I don't think they will release six packs and three kits every year but apart from that it's a nice roadmap.

@logion even 6 kits per years can be a low ammount, considering EA will release at least 1 kit each 2 months, it can be more like 1 kit per month considering decoration, CAS and story elements, but we sure receive 2 EP, 1 GP and 2 SP and at least 6 kits per year.

There's mods to play with pets, a world editor maybe needs a more powerful tool than a update yes.

What speaks against a world tool or editing the lot sizes are often is the risk of breaking old saves, when they updated all worlds for eco lifestyle they broke a lot of old saves and had to spend a lot of time making it work. So it's very much a risk vs reward case here... Pets are exclusive to Cats & Dogs so I don't think they would go back and add that functionality.

I am skeptical about how many kits they will do in a year. The cynical part of me thinks that they will make less stuff packs or game packs to have time to make kits...

They don't waste too much time on those kits, as they are not cohesive like a pack, just random unrelated themes. They probably already have most of the concept artwork done from previous packs. There are modders who do create as a hobby and are able to release monthly packs of similar quality and number of items.

Yes, like canning station

I never had the packs that previous games had that are listed here, that would be wonderful if the did this. I want horses and bands :pensive:

I’m looking forward to farming and generations. I would love to get a sewing machine with patterns and a color wheel, and of course farm animals. Oh, and hotels and casino’s.

What do you think?

Farming, horses, medieval, playable pets, Egypt would be my favourite...

I'd buy the wood chopping kit too!

Hey there! FYI: I moved this thread to the Speculation and Rumour section.

Does a kid say "many many candies" when there are only 3 in one hand ?

In general, "Many" could mean more than 10 and "Many many" could be more than 20

I'll be fine with 3 years actually

3 years is a smaller scale like many many months

They're on a 3-year rolling plan. Even the Gurus don't know what's gonna happen after 3 years.

On the other hand, because they are on a 3-year rolling plan, they would know for sure if the game is ending in a year or two. There is no way they'd say "many years" if they know for a fact the game is ending in a year or two.

To me, this pretty much confirms the game will continue till at least 2024. What happens after 2024 is anybody's guess.

2024 will be the year of Generations and Farming!

They just updated skin tones. That must have been a pretty big effort for just an additional 2 years. If they start updating hairs in a similar way or furniture we could probably look at another 5-7 years more.
