Is Paris a thing?!

If you are like me you might have a folder full of CC contents and also a list of CC creators that comes handy when you need to do some "Sim Shopping" for new contents to update your game.

And if you are even more like me you check this forum multiples times a day to see if there's any news or to speculate about things.

We all speculated about a Romance Pack coming. Didn't we?

But...have you noticed that "Paris fever" that is running lately??

- AHarrisBritney00 and Ayoshi released a CC pack for CAS called PARIS and it is beautiful, indeed;
- Felixandre released a Paris themed set of B/B objects;

I learnt the hard way that AHarrisBritney00 is one of the CC creators that teases the most in a SUBTLE way, so I am very suspicious everytime I see something new on its tumblr.
Also, Felixandre... way before we knew of a pack about Japan and Asia he created and released a set for a Japanese home.

Please, take everything as it is: speculationd and craziness given by the fact that:
a: in my country there is a new, strict lockdown so I have nothing to do;
b: this is a speculation thread inside the speculation section.

EDIT AFTER POST:
I forgot to mention that when I refer to CC creators I only refers to those that are Game Changers.

"Normal" CC creators are not aware of what is coming on but GC are, because some of them are requested to test some features prior to us.
That's why I am more than sure that someting is boiling and that there are hints hidden in the most simple things.

    If a LOVE pack is coming (and I hope so), I would like it to be more European and less Parisienne, with a bit of european culture spread allover the map with some new gameplay (like Snowy Escape).

    I think European is a very broad term to describe cities of Europe as they can be very different in terms of architecture but also lifestyle. Paris would certainly be nice, especially if they add things like fashion career or perfume, wine making and tasting, the Louvre as an museum and the Eiffel tower that you could visit at the top. I would also like to see worlds based on Wien, Amsterdam and Stockholm.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but CC creators, Game Changers, etc... don't know what a pack is about before we all do. Some of them get early access, but this is AFTER the official pack announcement and trailer (they have early access between the official announcement and the official release).
    Of course, this doesn't apply to creators that collaborate with EA (for example those who created households or builts for Eco Lifestyle and Snowy Escape, or those who created content for the anniversary). But in that case, they are not allowed to tease or to speak about the future content before it is announced.
    So I think that CC creators are just surfing the wave of whatever speculation is going around. If they are hearing a lot of speculation about a Paris pack, they see that people seem interested in that idea, and they go ahead and create Paris CC. If the speculation ends up being correct, this is just a coincidence.


    I beg to differ. Thesimscommunity Jovan was giving hints before the firefighters came like taking a pic with a fire extinguisher and he even admitted to it. And there has been other such cases. ??‍♀️
    Though i don't believe cc creators would know.... I'm not ruling anything out ?

    I am reviving this just because we are one year after and Paris DID became a thing.
    Between the SDX drop with the french style table and chair and the "Modern parisienne style" I was having a clue about it.

    SO THIS: if many Modders release CC that have similar theme they might know prior.

    I hope this might be a hint to something more, like Paris themed world (or european style romantic venues) or hotels!

    It's possible. But it's also possible that various themes picked up by a lot of modders are just a way to make collaborations a bit easier to coordinate, or to show off one's stuff or just personal enthusiasm for a particular theme in a "me too" kind of way. I've seen a few themes taken up by multiple modders that haven't (yet) taken flight high enough to make it onto very many radars (apocalyptic styled CC, for example). Doesn't mean we won't eventually get something from those themes, but just because themes exist in multiple places is no true indication that it means something is coming.

    Sometimes we just want certain things so much that we see hints almost everywhere without realizing that we're actually looking for them. We don't as easily notice hints about things we care little about, so the perceived hints that we do notice are always going to have the appearance of bearing more weight, especially if they do eventually make it into the game in some form. :)

    unlike the sims 3, I think they won't make any real cities that exist, nor any real monuments. Before, we had the Arc de Triomphe, the Colosseum, Stonehenge, the Sphynx and the Great Wall. They seem to focus on cities that have similarities, but not specifically recognizable

    I don't remember neither Colosseum nor Stonehenge in TS3. Maybe they won't name the worlds after real places, and they didn't do that in TS3 either, but I am fine with that as long as the places have the right flavor and we can pinpoint the source of inspiration. Also, some places are unique enough that you can't call them something generic and hope that people won't recognize them for what they are.

    absolutely. I was referring to monuments like the Eiffel Tower which, in my opinion, will not appear. Stonehenge was in Moonlight Falls, and Colosseum was in Monte Vista
