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?

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

If not today perhaps the much anticipated, and long overdue EP. Today would be perfect though with the tie in to Moonlight Chic's theme. I'm still looking for more screenshots of that kit so I can make up my mind if I'm getting on day one or waiting a bit.

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.

Do modders know when patches come out ahead of time?

I so, so, so hope you are right about this! I don't think I dare to believe it until I see it but I felt like this was due by wedding stories, so I really hope it will come now.

Well, in the past modders knew also themes before we did and created CC that would hint at future packs.
I clearly remember when this was the case of Batuu pack and Cottage Living.
So I assume this still happen if they are part of any EA Game Changers thing.
