How do you stay busy until RoM releases?

I'm slowly prepping my world with family lines, buildings and businesses. Once RoM is out, I want to focus entirely on magic without worrying about anything else.

I have PEPS really bad right now and I'm kind of paralyzed game play wise. I can go into the game but can't focus on what I was doing before as much, because I'm constantly thinking about what will come. I really want to actually build or convert some lots for Glimmerbrook but I don't know the lot sizes or orientations (horizontal or vertical facing). I know what families I want to put there and that's basically all I can think about lol. I kind of hate it because I was having fun in my game before they announced the release date for ROM. I guess I can do some other prep but it's not calling me today (hurricane a coming). I'm mostly playing busy-work games with down time right now.

Also, I am setting up an ice cream shop in Del Sol. I can't seem to find any 30x30 shop on the gallery. And like @Hermitgirl I keep thinking about everything RoM. I currently have 3 witch houses in Windenberg. I may want to move them to Glimmerbrook. Maybe keep one in Windenberg. Anyway, I have so many ideas.

I’ve been setting up a decades save starting in 1910, since The beginning of July. I’m almost done with the set up and am ready to play. I don’t know if RoM will factor into that save yet but Glimmerbrook sure will. I have a template save that I will use to make a new save in which to fully explore RoM. I totally see Bella & Cassandra Goth aspiring to be spell casters as well as Ulrike Faust, and probably at least one sim of my own creation. Perhaps they will be in a coven together or in competition with each other, I haven’t totally decided yet.

Hmm an ice cream shop. That sounds like a great idea, actually, I might steal this one day :D

I'm keeping busy by playing TS4, and I finally started playing Skyrim. I put my Sims into Skyrim using the creation kit.

SIMS 3

I'm very looking forward to ROM, this is a fact. But I had created a plot twist on my legacy that involves just getting ready for ROM, even before the trailer, so I'm following my story and when ROM arrives I'll be stuck with merging or exploring the gamepack. Overall if it was another time I would probably expect to launch to play again, but I need to arrange everything when ROM arrives

I'm actually setting up a save for ROM, but it is mainly just getting the community lots put in. I've already done the work, and have saved them to my library. Also the same for the sims, and adding a few other family groups as well. I'm adding buildings to a few empty lots but leaving a few empty to add later after ROM is added.

I've been in CAS the whole time, basically.
