I was also thinking that DRU meant Druid.

it definitely means druid, they were herbalists and the description "Nature's Blight" fits it very well.
im just happy they've acknowledged the Celtic religion! i wonder if theres going to be a Baphomet in this new pack :D

Deities are too... religiously specific for the sims i think. I like the Baph myself but he freaks out a lot of people who might be cheesed that hes the closest the game gets to religious themes lmao as it is whenever i want religion to be a thing in my game i have them "worshipping" llamas or plumbobs

well, we already had religion related items in October, the Diwali is a hindu festival celebrating the goddess Lakshmi <3

Yeah i know but they dont have Lakshmi showing up either and im quite fond of her too lmao they gave it more of a "festival of lights" feel. And the saris are good all year round.
Like how the Christmas stuff is basically the neutral secular christmas stuff youd see at a mall with none of the Jesus things.
The strictly cultural aspects can be included but they will avoid the minefield that is religion like the plague. Not only will you have people mad theirs didnt get included but you'll have people who did have theirs included mad because you somehow disrespected their religion lmao or they could be accused of profiting off of religion.
The only fair thing is no deities at all.

Alright, before you guys get this all hyped, Graham has wrote the item descriptions. He's stated in the live stream he had a lot of fun writing them and check them out.

It is probably just a fun reference to an MMO, because those are all mmo stats. Plus, Graham is a stuffpack developer. Why would he write a hint for a game pack or an expansion pack?

You guys are definitely getting your hopes up here.

Graham definitely knows more about the Game Pack than any of us knows, even if he doesn't directly work on Game Packs. He at least knows the theme and what it's about.
He also knows what the next EP is about that is currently being developed. (Seasons would be my best guess)

Yeah mooost of the hints people find in packs arent even there just because it was a fun wink and a nod to tease us lmao its there because they're supposed to make the packs so that theyll work well with upcoming ones. Thats why i find the naysayers amusing. Cats and Dogs alone had things paving the way for at least two future packs but most of them were practical things that were less hints and more pre-laying the infrastructure

This is a speculation section so OFC people will speculate and get their hopes up. There is NOTHING wrong with that.

When Parenthood came we got a hint for the new vet career so I think that these "druid" hints could be a possible hint for a future pack!
Only time will tell us what happens :smile:

This sounds really interesting, if this is truely a hint. I would really like a magic pack. All we can do is hope.

I can't imagine they won't do a magic/witch pack tbh. It's just a feature too many people want. And I really hope it will be this year still :D I'd be so hyped if we got witches shortly before seasons <3

As I said on the "What is Next for Sims 4?" topic:


I am pretty sure that we will get Witches this year, because on the one hand a few (though very few) descriptions of some items in Laundry Stuff indicate magic, and on the other hand because magic is in every generation with a release distance of 3 up to 4 years to the base game.

Sims 1 Base Game: February 4th, 2000
Makin 'Magic: October 29, 2003

Sims 2 Base Game: September 14, 2004
Apartment Life: 27th August 2008

Sims 3 Base Game: June 2nd, 2009
Supernatural: September 4th, 2012

Sims 4 Base Game: September 2nd, 2014
(Vampires: January 24, 2017)

In addition, the devs know that many players want magic and witches. I don't think that they won't pick up such a present theme in Sims 4. Magic belongs to the Sims like the butter on the bread.

I won't get hyped up, but I'd love for a new magic pack to come out! (praying that they bring alchemy back- it was one of my favorite skills in Sims 3). At the same time, this could be a hint to a feature in upcoming tropical pack.
