March Patch Speculation 2020

I'm going to hope that the February patch was so small because something didn't get finished in time - something big(ish) in addition to bug fixes. And by the March patch they'll have it done.

As for what... I have no interest in truly free babies, but babies that can be moved between objects (changing table, bathing tub, playpen and bouncy chair) and have different onsies would be good. Or cars, even if just as something for parent and teen to work on together and they're otherwise decorative. Hail Mary is Spiral stairs and ladders - or bunk and loft beds. Holy Grail (for me) would be color wheel, if just to get more stuff to match/work together. Or if that's not possible, being able to add swatches without having to go through Sims4Studio (nothing wrong with it. Just looking for a simpler pipeline.)

Bug fixes, bug fixes, bug fixes. The game is so hard to enjoy sometimes because of how broken it is.

Nothing but bug fixes at this point. I'm tempering my expectations.

I sincerely hope the February patch was so small because of a delay in development of smthg bigger and that the hot tub was a last minute replacement in order to give smthg for the 20th birthday. At least it would make more sense...

I have a pretty similar wishlist: all I need for babies is a changing table and to be able to feed them sitting in an armchair or a rocking chair (strollers are probably pushing it), and I'll be happy with TS2 cars gameplay (a little mechanics and driveway animation). Unfortunately I see bunk beds, spiral stairs and ladders coming in packs not in a free update, but we never know!
As color wheels are unlikely as they would change the whole creation mechanism, just add a bunch of new hair colors swatches at least!
And some bug fixes too of course!

I think those are pretty reasonable.

Nah, I'm done speculating/hoping. I think it is better to just wait until they show something.

I think it'll be a big one, considering february's was too small and there are a lot of bugs to fix. Also, if a gp is coming, it will have to prepare for it. I wish!

Nah; I would be really disappointed if they gave us babies that can be moved between objects... I mean, yeah, better than them being confined to one crib, but come on... I really want those Freeplay babies that can learn how to crawl, play with toys, show some genetics, have CAS... I'd love that.

A compromise between the 2 wishes could be that the baby stage we have now would be the Newborn stage in which the baby can only be moved between different objects and wear different onsies. And then there is the "baby" stage to which they grow up (stage between newborn and toddler) and they work like in TS Freeplay. :)

on console there has been a gamebreaking bug since we got the gallery (Errorcode 22, unable to save), so I'd rather they fix that before anything else...no use in new stuff, free or not, if people can't even play.

besides that, other (minor) bug fixes please, like my sims still don't know how to hold the laundrybag...not a gamebreaker but come on.
also curious about any new packs coming up.

I really think the silence has to do with them wanting to bridge the gap between pc/mac releases and console releases so that they are released simultaneously because of the shared gallery. The release dates have been getting closer and closer together, and i would bet that they are holding back a little to try and get them to be the same day now.

That being said, I really want some nice bug fixes along with what is hopefully a game pack readying patch =]

We get free babies (either in place of what we currently have or as a new life stage) and I'm skipping to toddlers immediately every time. I went through that once in real life and have zero interest in replaying it over and over and over again in my gaming life.
