when is the update

I haven't seen anything that gives a specific date. All I've seen was them saying it was coming alongside the pack. I'm expecting to hear a date during today's live stream though.

The update will probably be in the patch before the pack launches, probably on 26 July.

I happy about the new updates.

What worries me mostly is that it looks like the school will be locked to Copperdale, and not a new lot trait that we can put anywhere:

Teens will attend Copperdale High School, located in the new world of Copperdale

:(

Otherwise I think everything looks awesome! I expected one exciting base-game update apart from body hair, but two?? Christmas came early this year!

More then two.

It seems like there have been more leaks about this pack than usual. More than Werewolves it feels like. It makes you wonder if those leaks might be orchestrated. This is what the third or fourth leak? We knew the theme of the pack while we were still waiting for Werewolves to drop. Then the world map leak, now this leak about the gameplay and the update. Maybe this is normal, I'm not entirely sure. I never started paying attention to the news ahead of a pack release this closely until I started participating here which was just before MWS bombed dropped.

Maybe these 'leaks' are to help mend fences after the MWS fiasco? Just a thought while waiting impatiently.

Honestly we would never know for sure as an outsider but I personally don't think this amount of leaking is normal. This has been excessive and Jovan from the simscommuniy basically confirmed (in between his rants) that leaks in general are not usually welcome ?
Plus I know how much the gurus love to surprise us. Just like simgurugeorge surprised everyone with firefighters at the end of the ecolifestyle livestream and everyone was going crazy in the chat ???
I don't think they would have wanted this leaked hours before the stream.
Just my observation.

If it wasn't for the fact that MWS wasn't that long ago I never would have wondered if this was somehow orchestrated. I could see them maybe wanting to mend fences and maybe let a few carefully selected things slip to try and woo disgruntled simmers back. If it is, and they want surprises to drop on us, what surprises might they be holding back because there has been no shortage of things to make us go crazy lately?

Can you tell my imagination is going wild waiting for 2pm to get here??

I would put money down that the leaks are orchestrated. This always happens when we're about to get new packs, and gaming leaks arent unique to the Sims franchise. Currently, we doing exactly what they want us to do. Generating hype, speculating, talking about it all over social media and spreading the word, and getting ready to buy! From a marketing pov, this is great! And yeah there are times when devs arent ready to talk about something but someone from outside or inside starts leaking info, then heads are rolling. I personally think that when word about a high school pack started making waves a little while ago, that that was unintentional.

But that aside, with all the new info and "leaks" that come out whenever new content is on the horizon, Im willing to bet that there was some meetings over what they're gonna reveal. Some higher up gave the go ahead and now someone "accidentally" dropped some new info and is totally hoping that absolutely no one like popular and well established gaming news websites with lots of regular visitors takes the ball and runs with it to show off to millions of potential buyers! That's just silly!

I felt that way about the initial leak.
It would be really necessary if you want to get customers talking and checking if what you have is on the right track for any last minute adjustments, or how you might direct your marketing campaign.

Agreed. :D

Really not a fan of sexuality being added.. One of my favorite things about this game has always been how sexuality isn't a thing. Sims can just flirt with anyone. No restrictions. No labels on it. None of the real life stuff. I hope at the very least they won't start giving pre-made sims sexualities, and downloaded sims from the gallery won't come with sexualities, so players can just ignore this if they don't want to use it.

I didn't get the impression it was any different than the pronouns. I take it this is going to be something you have to actively set on your own. That's how I read it anyway.

I hoped so but sadly on the live they confirmed that they're setting the sims from this pack (and future packs) with built in sexualities so it'll be the case that if you want to set your sims up with certain new townies you'll have to go into CAS and change them to do that
