Listen Up Maxis

I think it would be in bad taste to do an April Fool's prank.

Toddlers confirmed.

10 more years of the Sims 4. :p

Rumor has it that they will postpone april fool's day to mid-june.

I heard they are going to announce a release of an expansion set in WW2 Germany named, "Simler's List".

I don't like April Fools day.

That's extremely rude if they do that.

I'm still waiting for them to address the floppiness of the anniversary update & lack of engagement besides than updating their personal thingy & recent free codes on twitters.

Maxis and listening :D They only listen EA ;)

I figured I would give it a shot LOL

While open communication with their customers and fan base has never been their strong suit, the current covid-19 crisis may be interfering with their release schedule. I can see developers individually working on things like objects, cas items, and animations at home but it may be problematic now for EA/maxis to actually put a product together suitable for release. It may just be that product development has become uncertain and therefor there's even less they can announce than usual.

... so this is going to be my first Feast of Fools with the Sims community. What, if anything, is the "norm" for such events?

I mean, I'm mostly a TTRPG gamer, so I'm more familiar with the joke sourcebooks that many game companies will release, and I've heard of some multiplayer game pranks. And April Fool's does seem like the sort of thing that Maxis would participate in, I just don't know how.

And yes, they need to be very judicious in their choice of prank - if any - for tomorrow. There's a reason I put myself in a 24 social media brownout for April 1st.
