I miss being able to talk about the up coming packs

I'm not a fan on Twitch streams to release updates, so I'm not sure I'll like the way they're going to share info with us from here on out. I hope they at least post info across platforms for those of us who don't enjoy watching streams.

But if Seasons doesn't impress players or give them enough gameplay to "hold them over" until the next shiny object falls from the sky, then chances are, the next unknown pack won't either.

For me the huge problem with this game is the personalities. Until they don't fix that, they can add whatever to the game but it will never feel complete.

I can't argue with that. :)

you could play sims 2 or sims 3 while you wait thats what I'm doing for a change of pace and it gives me more ideas for suggestions for sims 4

I wish that were that easy, but not everyone has a PC that can play those games.

But for me the problem is that before Seasons even came out everyone wanted to know every little detail and I got burnt out before the game even came out.
I'm by no means saying I like the silence, as I like knowing something is coming. I wish the players didn't nitpick every little detail.

so what do you think guys will we get some dlc news today

Why today? Is there something special about today?

Teaser trailers generally come on Mondays and Wednesdays with the full blown trailer releasing the next day.

But they don't do teasers anymore so why expect something that they said will not happen. It's a waste of my time to "wish" for things that they don't do anymore.

They still do teasers for pack trailers. I'm not talking about quarterly teasers.

I wouldn't expect any teaser for any pack until November when we normally get a pack for Black Friday.

I dont think it will be that long. I expect Late August or September.

So they would have nothing to offer on the biggest sales day of the year? That's crazy.

Actually they could release a Gamepack in September and an Expansion Pack in November or December. Grant says Fall Quarter is going to be busy.

I've been doing my best to read between the lines of new content descriptions along with guru tweets. I think that we can almost certainly bet that there is an expansion coming with a winter resort world (hopefully including things such as skiing, snowboarding, *hot chocolate*) etc. Whether or not this would be a game pack or proper expansion I am not sure. But I do believe I have found hints that it could also sport a beach themed resort world as well. Therefore, differentiating from outdoor retreat and jungle adventure in the sense that they are "adventure type" worlds, and this ep would be more about relaxing aka perhaps "Sims 4 Resort Life" or something of the sort. This would make the most sense, and therefore I would heavily expect it to include two worlds, an alpine resort, and a tropical resort." Just my thoughts on it, from info I have gathered.

On a similar note, there is **Overwhelming** evidence in object descriptions in-game that cars are in fact coming. I am never one to engage in speculation, but I found entirely too much evidence. I will post some of this in a follow-up post. Whether or not this would be a free update or a game pack, I could not say. I anticipate it may be a bit of both. They may update the base game to support cars, and patch in a few basic cars, and then in the game pack include a lot more variety, perhaps a form of racing, mechanic career, maybe cars actually break down, etc. Regardless of how they arrive, I have little doubt that they will be here before years end.

Here is a full account of my "Cars EP" hint finds.

The first item I found peculiar was the "Meor Myson Towel Rack." I thought this was a sure sign that cars were on the way, but what I found later proved even more obvious. The towel rack seemed very random, although I do see how towels can relate to seasons. The description mentions messes (I think perhaps an allusion to oil spills) and the towel itself is white and sports a black and white checker pattern (alluding to the famous checkered flag used in automobile racing I do believe). Also the name "Meor Myson," breaks apart to "me or my son." Not that I support gender stereotypes but cars have historically been one of those quizzical father-son things. This could also be a nod to Dale and Dale Earnhart Junior, a famous father and son racing duo.

I've also found a bed entitled "Crosshatch delight," possibly referring to hatchback and/or cross-over vehicles.

Now, it got obvious. There is a cornucopia called "The Horn of Plenty," the word horn in the name was already a red flag, but then the description says further "break out the trumpets and toot the horn of plenty,"...toot the horn.

I thought I had reached maximum hint discovery at this point and then TODAY, I discovered another horn reference. There is a decor item named "The Rabit's Hat." It is a sculpture of a party hat and noisemaker the description reads "This is actually a poor Rabit's home that has been turned upside down. Some considerate soul laid down a flower as a sign of respect. No idea what the party horn is for though. horn. horn horn.

Those were the big ones. Additionally, I did find it interesting that they included a candle called "Pine Fresh Candles," quite possibly alluding to the very famous Pine Fresh green tree air freshener in cars. Granted, the object does also make sense in the seasons pack a pine scent is often associated with holidays, however, so are the other objects I've mentioned...and isn't that exactly what they want us to think?

Further Finds.

I found yet another hint. I have little doubt it is approaching at this point. This hint I found is in an object description for a book that came with Seasons. It’s the gardening manual, I discovered it sifting through debug objects. The book description includes the phrase “petal to the metal”


Regarding the Caribbean update. The ceiling fan description says "Take this contraption for a spin and see how cool it is."

Crosses fingers we get a gamepack announcement this week. I'm ready for some more paid content.

I'm thinking we won't see anything until September. IF they even announce anything at all. A game pack would be great as we haven't had one since like.. uhh March was it? Or was it February? A second expansion pack this year would be interesting, but meh.. it's probably pushing it.

I mean, sure, my wallet thanks you for the break, EA, but.. I'm always hungry for more content haha. :3
