yes we got tiny living and its nice but I mean big news like what the next big update will be or the next big pack

Give it a week or so. The 20th anniversary is coming up.

Good grief, we only just got a new pack. I like the element of surprise, myself. Is there something you're hoping for next? <3

I know people have been making a huge joke about TS5 recently on YouTube but its something that I would truly love to see. Something maybe with more realistic graphics, I guess like Second Life, because most people mod them in anyway.

We have so much content now for the Sims 4, and the Sims 5 would likely be pretty bare bones without EPs / CPs, etc. Plus they've already said they're going to be supporting 4 for quite some time to come.

They probably won't announce anything until they're about to release something. Lately most announcements have come a few weeks before the release date depending on what kind of pack it is.

I am BORED.....When are we getting any news? After the lackluster 20th Anniversary, you'd think they'd have something fun up their sleeves. I'm tired of the constant silences in this franchise. I'm worried their going to announce the Sims 5 and just leave the Sims 4 in the gutter.

Well to be fair, you are being mad at receiving free stuff. Remember, the Sims team has absolute ZERO moral reason to give you ANYTHING. Yet people are flipping out because they "only" got a hottub.

I don't think anybody is flipping out about receiving the hot tub. I think it's more about the sheer lack of acknowledgement or appreciation for all the love and support their long term players have given them over the last 20 years. The best they could think to do to show appreciation was a re-skinned hot tub taken from a pack that some players had previously paid money for. Personally I didn't care or expect an item in game. I was more hoping for some exciting news about the future of the franchise. The 20 year anniversary was pretty much treated like it didn't even matter but to their players it did matter. 20 years is a big deal and EA/Maxis made so little effort in acknowledge it.

If you consider that they made the tiny living pack in 2019 (and I don't count the 20th anniversary bathtub as something new), they have neither showed or told us anything about what they are working on in 2020 except the community knitting pack, and that is something that they announced last year.

2020 is looking very empty when it comes to the sims4 so far.

Idk the point of them doing maxis monthly's when they were never going to be monthly in the first place.

Anyone think part of the reason for the lack of news is because of the cross platform gallery? Now when packs come out I'm guessing they have to come out on all platforms at the same time which I assume takes longer.

I'm afraid we won't get news on a new pack or patch or Maxis Monthly before the Stuff Pack vote is over. I hope I'm wrong though.

It would be great if packs released across platforms at the same date. Unfortunately tiny living suggests otherwise. The cross platform patch was 16th January, tiny living for PC was released 21 January on pc but console players had to wait to 4 February. It is possible to download lots and sims from the gallery even if you miss a specific pack that was used for them.

Let's see if the next packs follow this example or not.
