Time to start speculating about possible updates to the game in May. We'll be in a new quarter starting May 1st or 2nd so the May Update could be a big one especially if we get a Gamepack Refresh. EA is teasing us now about Outdoor Retreat. Take this with a grain of salt.https://twitter.com/EA/status/1520125783766814720?s=20&t=eofhqrzNcpUl68tzLmVcsw

Pleasepleaseplease include the lore update! I've been waiting for so long :'(

Unless the gurus are hinting at refreshing it, I don't see them giving us a 2nd camping pack.

@catloverplayer @Phantasi33 I feel like you two have it, it's an Outdoor Retreat refresh Including an updated PlantSim. We got that PlantSim scenario as a surprise, they weren't a big topic until that dropped. The frog collection scenario keeps with the outdoor theme of late in the recent scenarios. Too many outdoorsy references lately to be entirely coincidence. You said it, camping is nothing new, we've had for a while. It feels like it has to be a refresh. They've said more of those were coming, but all we've had to date is Spa Day.

I think the nature related tweets/content are because it was Earth Day last Friday.The tank top is the most blatant asset though.

If it is a Outdoor Retreat refresh I'm happy for everyone who wants one, though it's not the one I'd want a refresh for myself. I would much prefer Dine out or Discover University as those are the ones I feel most in need of a refresh, but maybe they'll come eventually. I do hope that if it is a refresh, that it includes making Granite falls a residential world and that such a move might include making Selvadorada residential too. Maybe an extra neighborhood with a few lots for living?

Being an introvert and having an extrovert saying “oh you’re not a loner you just need to hang out with me more”

Been there soooo many times.. Heavy sigh..

Yeah there was also a dev that said smth on their personal account about how discouraged they are because their co-workers have their looks made fun of and also their demeanor or energy criticized and etc.

That is disgusting. Some people are horrible. They aren't actors, or influencers trading on their looks, and charisma for crying out loud; as if that isn't all bull anyway.. They are real people. Honestly if they didn't show up looking like me, or my neighbour, and talking like a normal human I would be suspicious. This is why I am an introvert. People suck.

And it's not just here aimed at the devs, and that is bad enough. The vile things I've overheard in stores being said to staff just because the store ran out of this or that. As if the entire world exists merely to cater to these people. The sense of entitlement and the lack of compassion is unbelievable. How hard is it to just pause for a second and put yourself in the other persons shoes and choose your words with care. It's a scary world anymore.

I've rarely watched any of the livestreams, but on the rare occasions that I did, I hid the chat panel for the duration. I've always found chat in any streaming situation to be rarely interesting and almost always unpleasantly distracting. That said, while I don't think it's the SimGurus' fault because, as @Gordy mentioned, doing livestreams isn't really their job. I do think the streams could be better planned, possibly with a single designated team to handle them, maybe with occasional extra guests (if singular details about a pack are required, for example). And yes, trash talk helps no one, no matter who does it or if the underlying reasons might be based on valid concerns.

Sadly I have a family member who is like this, and it very hard to go anywhere with her. A movie, a lunch date, a stop at a store, it just doesn't matter; if anything goes wrong she feels like she needs to blame someone and let them know how angry she is. It is mortifying. I have apologized to people so many times for her behavior. She acts like the world is suppose to present itself to her ready and waiting to fulfill her wants and desires. I just don't get it...

THIS!!! So much. It is fine to have concerns as a consumer of a companies goods. It is not okay to attack someone because you feel something..

There is a Patch coming Tomorrow. One of the modders has confirmed. Got my info from Pixelade on Youtube. It makes sense though. They need a patch to get the game ready for the two kits and we're getting an SDX Wednesday. I'm not expecting very many bug fixes in this patch but I am hopeful since the Chic Kit is considered dating themed we'll get an Online Dating Feature and Attraction Feaure aka turn ons and turn offs in this patch.

I hope you are right for the attraction and online dating feature (because I would LOVE it so bad) but I feel like this won't come.
I have a strong feeling that this patch will come with very, very few bug fixes and nothing more.

But I am always ready to be surprised! :D

Do we know for sure that patch is today? Has there been a Guru post on Twitter saying so?

Pixelade covered this topic on a video.
Seems like a modder shared that a patch would be out today and that it could add more than just bug fixes, hoping this won't break the game (and CC)

It would be absurd to sell us a children's rocket in the kit while the "adult rocket" has been broken for one year now.
