With this update that came out. I have a feeling the Game pack is beach themed; or ...maybe even carnival themed :3 but nothing confirmed, of course.

I still miss the beach. Some of us have been asking for beach gameplay since earlier this year. I wonder if that's enough time for them to consider it and start working on one. :D

I feel like it's been a bit longer than just earlier this year. :3 So maybe, but if the "shirt" that SimGuruNinja was working on is a turtleneck, or long sleeve, I'm thinking it was either a "Scuba diving" shirt, or it was a long sleeve for the cooler temperatures and maybe it will be carnival themed. I would love beaches or a carnival themed game pack. :3 So either works. But yeah, I miss combing for sea-shells, swimming in oceans, sand castle building, tropical fish, mermaids, and all that other great stuff ! :x.

Crossed fingers. ;3

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.

They just released Seasons, a huge EP and you think they're not only working on a GP but another EP, all to be released two months apart?

They have different teams spread out across Gamepacks and Expansions. It's highly possible. It's not really too early to bring out a Gamepack.

They just reorganized and let a lot of people go. Who do you think is working on all these packs that you think are being made? We got one EP when we normally would have gotten a GP. There doesn't seem to be any SP's in sight. What exactly do you think is going on?

Only a few were laid off. That shouldn't effect production on the packs.

If they give us a beach pack, I hope it's really well thought out and relaxing for my sims to enjoy.

me to @Dannydanbo

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."

Hellu, I've taken out some posts and must ask you to please speak kindly with each other. It's fine to have different viewpoints, please respect that and each other folks.

Where? I didn't saw it.

He tweeted it but I cant find that tweet now.

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

Not everybody does the social media thing. I don't do any of it, and have no idea what 'twitch' even is, other than an unpleasant bodily reaction to something. If I remember correctly, livestreams are done in the afternoon, not so good for those of us who work for a living. Or live in a time zone different than southern CA. If they are truly interested in open communication then they need to do it on this site where we all can get the information regardless of our schedules or place of residence.

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

The meor myson was a reference to a meme. "Don't talk to me or my son ever again" or something like that.

The twitch vods can be watched after they are streamed so if you missed it then you can just watch in our own time. Plus when someone posts a link to the stream if you click on it, it takes you straight to the stream and you don't have to sign up or anything.
