March Patch Speculation 2020

I highly doubt there will be a March patch, and I know for sure there is not going to be a pack release in March.

If they want to release a GP, it takes like 2 weeks before release if they announce it today, so that doesn't fit into March anymore. The only pack possible within March is a SP releasing next week tuesday with a patch releasing this thursday, but no, I think this will be another contentless boring month.

They are slowing down, obviously, and not only because of the virus, but also because they want to stretch out this game as much as they can. ''Years worth of content'' does not mean we will get a LOT of packs, just more time in between releases.

They could still announce this week or next. If it's a Stuffpack I want one on pools or weddings.

there are thousands of people dying, the stock market is crashing and causing people to loose their jobs with another recession that people are trying not to call a recession because it would cause more panic, that is immensely tasteless and offensive.

Catering to this ^^ kind of sensitivity is why Sims 4 is not a good game. This is a video game. If seeing something in a video game causes you to freak out then you shouldn’t be playing video games.

13,000 people are dead from this thing. If they were to "virus related content" into the game right now, the Sims series would have signed its own death warrant.

This is a current, ongoing issue. Were you mad when TS1 or SimCity didn't add in planes crashing into towers after 9/11?

Are you trying to prove my point? I made a comment and you are getting so upset about it that you’re trying to flame bait using a national tragedy. You need to calm down

I'm sorry but that last comment was kinda unnecessary....very insulting and offensive.

How? Would it not be the same thing?

A virus vs a deliberate act of terror. Not even remotely the same thing. You have some nerve comparing the two. Disgusting. Then there’s the fact you’re using it to flame bait which is even more reprehensible. I’m gonna repeat myself, you need to calm down.

Thinking about those who are sick, who lost a relative, the doctors and nurses working 7/7, those who are scared for their jobs, I don't think this is being too "sensitive", simply showing compassion and tact.

I work in the healthcare system - if you don't laugh then you'd cry. I'm making virus CC. It's much healthier than freaking out on facebook.

TBH, you can do whatever you want with your own game, but, at the moment, it's kinda insensitive to use this tragedy & promoting CC or Mods. Someone that I knew died from the virus. Again, if you guys feel that it's interesting to have this in the game at the moment, please do, but, please be more sensitive towards others who might be affected by this pandemic.

ETA: This is the link https://worldometers.info/coronavirus/that shows the statistic of the live update of the coronavirus. People died every day, people got infected every day, but also recovered every day. I hope that more than anything, this community can be more sensitive with this issue for the time being. Yes, TS4 is a game, but what we're facing IRL is not a game.

People need compassion & caring.

The next patch should fix all the reported crashing. I can't take them any more. 3-4 error reports being submitted per night is too much.

I know people in the healthcare system also. And I also know 2 people back in my home country who had it and survived. They called my mom to tell her about their experiences.

And to be fair I don't think it's right to consider anybody insensitive and wrong. We are all equally effected but we all have different ways of coping or dealing with things. Just like we do with anything else that effects our lives. People would consider me insensitive for all the virus/mask stuff I have in my game but I've been into that virus/zombie life since the days of resident evil when I use to watch my dad play it as a child. The entire game after game. So I was always into this style of play long before this virus hit. And I know it's popular or else fallout and other games like it wouldn't be all the rage.

No one in my opinion is being mean on insensitive we are all just dealing differently and it's probably best not to judge eachother for our gaming choices. That's the beauty of the sims. We all do whatever we want ?

And if we don't hear anything today I guess we have to start speculating for april.

I hope the next patch will contain a few more pool-options (like a poolslide, round pools, jetstreams) but most of all make the oceans and a couple of lakes swimmable, like Sulani and Britechester. It feels wrong to walk on the beach in Brindleton Bay without being able to take a dip. I thing they should have made that possible in the patch prior to Sulani.

And since we have studentdorms and tiny houses now they can no longer deny us our bunkbeds!!!
