According to my phone's calendar January 2nd is being treated as a holiday/day off due to New Year's Day falling on the weekend, and if EA follows suit, I would assume that the gurus would probably be returning to work that Tuesday which seems a little too early to be dropping an update or any big informational updates. Maybe a teaser trailer with a date of when to expect extra information, but I don't see anything significant coming out on January 3rd.

What I do think though is that Infants might be the predecessor/pre-expansion update of some more family related content. That's not to say that it will be the Generations-esque pack in the sense that everyone is expecting it seeing as we've already gotten Parenthood and High School Years separately, but I do feel some family content may be coming this year. Hopefully they'll drop a roadmap sometime in January to give us a better idea of what to expect and when to expect it with some sort of hint.

Personally I would love to get Fairies later on in the year, but I doubt EA would drop two big occults two years in a row, so a Plant Sims update would be totally okay with me as it would satisfy my need for new occult content.

I'm thinking we'll get a Roadmap Today or Thursday.

That is what I'm hoping, but what time do you think they'll announce it? I'm hoping we get info on the infants today.

Every sims save I've ever started is bugged to the point that it either ruins the experience completely or ruins it to a moderate degree. There are so many bugs and glitches and content that was created that don't work properly. This stuff should get attention by the developers and be updated and fixed. Most of you are on PC and probably have Mods that can fix stuff, but I'm on console and do not have those types of options. I still play the sims but usually have to sacrifice something and accept it as flawed in order to continue playing the game. I've never played a game that was as bugged as Sims 4. I'm not angry I'm just stating a fact. So, when the developers seem upbeat or excited about the new update that's going to fix the insulting coming soon. I can only sigh as there are like 50 other issues that need attention.

There was nothing Today from TheSims on Twitter. When it's announced it could be from 11am to 1pm Eastern.

I suppose there is a possibility of a roadmap Thursday yet, but I don't think we'll get any actual updates until the 10th at least (I typed the 9th mistakenly last time. :joy:)

I’m shocked they haven’t even said anything or hinted at anything. They are way over due they have been quite since thanksgiving

Yeah. I'm in no real hurry, but it's still super weird.

We had this big announcement that was like "Sims 5 is coming eventually! Sims 4 will still be supported for the foreseeable future!" and then radio silence. I guess maybe that announcement was to explain why there would be radio silence, but when you hear Sims 4 will still be supported you expect to at least hear something's coming, even if you don't know what it is yet.

I'm sure that will change now that we're on the other end of the holidays, but it's still been weird.

I hope we can at least get the roadmap this week. And also hopefully we get the update next week like you said.

Oh ok. I wish they had said something today.

I've never really kept track of whether the roadmaps are released on Tuesdays or Thursdays. But it would be nice to get the Roadmap tomorrow with the infant update either on the 10th or the 12th. "Early in the year" makes me think Mid January to Early February timeframe. But I think most people would prefer the update sooner than later.
