A royalty pack would suck so much. I really don't think, this is what the game needs at this stage. We lack so many basic things yet.

I think the problem is that they plan stuff very far ahead. So they may have had a plan for a royalty pack (just for example) a year ago and have to continue with it. That's why I think it will be a while before we see a much needed kid pack or a generations type pack because people only recently started begging for it. Before then I mostly only saw them asking for university/witches etc etc

And interestingly enough I saw an old poll on twitter not too long ago(from Grant I believe)asking which life states they should focus on and kids were at the bottom of the list ????and I'm thinking no wonder they thought nobody wants them.

I've been reading about people complaining they want the life stages to be more fleshed out (except for YA/A who got plenty of content already) from the very beginning of TS4. It started with missing toddlers and teens being undistinguishable from YA. We got toddlers and parenthood and well, now you can at least READ if someone is a teenager or not over their heads when you touch them with the mouse. But people have been complaining ever since, it never really stopped (except for a few weeks after toddlers and parenthood came out). People have been wanting updated babies, better elders and stuff for them to do, stuff for teenagers and/or preteens to fill the gap between children and teens since the beginning. It's not like no one has been complaining or that people started to complain only recently. The complaining started with release day and it never really stopped.

I really hope we get updated babies, a generation EP and preteens this year. Everything else like farming, resorts, fairies or romance, I'd be happy about too, but it just adds on top for me and we need more basic stuff for our Sims to do together as a group with more than 2 Sims. Even lots of game changers start to say that we lack basic everyday life gameplay and that includes family gameplay and group interactions (that rude English girl who doesn't want preteens because clickbait not counted).

Lots of occult players are family players too, so I don't go along with the occult vs. family gameplay fight. One of the reasons why ROM was critisized, even from occult lovers, is the fact that there is no magic for toddlers and children...

So, nope, people have been complaining about it for years and I do think there is a chance we will get it this year.

Well, if they do improve Sims 4 life stages or do a Sims 5, I hope they at least add an extra elder category or improve their looks because I don't know any elders that look that where I come from in real lfe. Maybe years ago, but not now. all bad or wrinkley. Heck, I even know some that are almost 100 years old and don't look that decrepit while bending down constantly with a horrible expression like that. It's probably meant to be funny, but not if you really want to play a Sim that is older and be taken seriously, Lol.

We got all of the most-requested packs already.

Farming and Generations has been heavily requested for a while.

Time once again to speculate on the Next Patch for The Sims 4. I feel like that this patch will be big cause I think it will be a Pre Gamepack Patch and add stuff to the base game but I could be wrong. We're way overdue for a Gamepack and with Gamepacks and Expansions usually come big patches that add stuff to the base game as well as fixing tons of bugs.

Another possibility is a big update like cars or updated babies. Also remember the toddler patch came out 2 weeks before Vampires.

Cars and babies are two big ones for me. Would love to see this or preteens too. Update to City apartments/hotels ect. would be nice too.

Really? I didnt know about error 22 but I doubt an update for console will come the same day as PC.

Lucky you, my main game became unplayable cause of that error and has been sitting there untouched waiting for the fix, I had to make a whole new game under a new account and thankfully it works fine but I am always anxious when saving afraid of that error happening again.
Anyway, regardless of when the next patch comes to consoles, I'd still want it fixed ;)

Can't play Sims4 because my Origin page messed up again. It has been messed up for a whole year and they finally fix it and now it is messed up again. So, I know how you feel. I can play Sims3, though, because unlike all these online games, it has a launcher. Sims4 needs one in case Origin isn't working.

No Maxis Monthly this month. Not looking good for a Gamepack.

Obviously, the reason behind the Anniversary was so lackluster, and the long wait on a Game Pack, and the lack of Maxis Monthly means that they've been spending all their time and resources on a massive free update in April. Get ready for overhauled personalities, free babies and cars!










If I lie enough, maybe I can trick myself into being happy. Just for a moment. It's all I need. :')

They don't announce/showcase paid dlc on Maxis Monthly, only new base game features. To me it sounds like we'll get a new pack (I think GP) soon with only a small "pack-preparation" patch.

If I remember well, for Tiny Living the updates we got in the pre-release patch (book ends becoming functional, bed upgrades) were showcased in the Stuff Pack livestream.
So yeah, I think small patch, hopefully with bug fixes.

I’m curious what they are so busy with. And once again, the lack of information is pretty killing.

A pre game pack patch?

Is this not jumping the gun a little? We don’t know when the next dlc is coming, we don’t even know if the next dlc will be a game pack.
