Is the next pack a Winter Wonderland Vacation?

In the latest Maxis Monthly where they showed us the content for the next patch devs also displayed that there is a new hair CAS category for sims male and female.

The icon is clearly a head with a winter beanie on it.

There's also the odd addition of the Yeti/Sasquatch costume in the future update.

All this could possibly indicate for a future Winter Wonderland Vacation pack coming up.

As a reminder I'd like to say that TS1 had an NPC called Betty Yeti that was present whenever you went to the Vacation Island in the mountain area.

What do you think of these and what would you expect in this type of pack?

    I hope it's hinting at a winter wonderland vacation, I would love that so much!

    As for the hat/hair, I think like others have mentioned, that it is a bun updo style rather than a hat.

    I really like the Yeti costume, it will be useful in my game :smile: I think it could have been left over from Get Famous? But they thought it would better suit the holiday update as it is more winter themed.. So I doubt it's a hint to an upcoming pack (although I hope i'm wrong) but it could well be a nod towards the sims 1 Betty yeti :smile:


    Yeti Outfit comes in several colors one I brown so it can be a Sasquatch Outfit as well.


    Is that confirmed or speculation on your part?


    Confirmed. The Livestream showed the additional colors. Go back and watch cas when Kate showed the yeti. You briefly see the color swatches below it.


    I found it. Thank you.
  • As a Canadian who hates winter, if they ever release a Winter Vacation pack, I won't be purchasing it. I'm usually on TS when the weather is crappy and it would stress me out. lol ;)
  • Whatever it is, I hope it comes out soon. I mean it's already December 8th I feel like they would've released it by now? But we just got Get Famous so idk

  • I am pretty sure there will not be a Winter Vacation - as they are not likely to do another dlc for dlc after MFP fiasco with simmers carrying on - nor are they likely to do another pack with just winter - as then there will be people yelling about that being a feature they already had - so either way I don't see that dream coming true.

    As Sims 1 did not have a seasons pack ever they instead introduced weather just in Vacation worlds - they had the winter lodge - the fall /Autumn camping, and the summer beach vacations - but the sims world never had weather. Believe me you could have some of the winter stuff for your lot and igloos and half pipes look darn silly without snow. I did like the metal detector though from the winter lodge stuff - at least that did not look odd in the regular world.

    The only somewhat weather kind of pack I could actually see being possible because it will not really need Seasons so no dlc for dlc and because certain things were missing in the actual seasons pack would be a beach vacation pack in which they could add the so called missing things from summer to that kind of pack - like lounge chairs, tanning, ocean swimming, maybe even lake swimming, water toys and games - Resorts, Motels etc, etc.

    They could do that kind of pack without crossing any lines that would raise too many simmers ire - well outside of the ones who will always complain - it should have been in the Seasons pack. I guess there is no way to avoid those complaints - just hope it is not loud enough to make them change their minds about doing such a pack if that is something you all want. But a winter pack to me does not look like something they would do because all of the above. Maybe at one time they considered it - but for those reasons - I'd be surprised if they delivered it - but I feel a beach pack could still be possible.
