New Roadmap Fall 2024!

This pack is so up my alley, cannot wait to see all the updates!

This EP announcement brought me back into playing TS4 again after not doing so for months!  This announcement is so intriguing.

I actually love Forgotten Hollow but it's so dang tiny that I never ever use it for this reason only.  I'm hoping this pack either gives us a creepy residential world with like 11-13 lots, or maybe will give a somewhat normal small-town looking world  that has creepy elements with like 9 lots and then there's some grim nether realm world that is super creepy that we can still edit :D I obv know nothing about this pack, but since it seems to be a completely fresh pack idea the franchise has never done before, it makes my imagination run a bit wild thinking what it can offer xD I really just hope if it's either of the things I mentioned, that there is a creepy walking trail in a woods/forest! 

I am looking forward to learning more about the Life and Death Expansion pack! I definitely want ghosts to be improved and available to start in CAS. Hoping for funerals, cemeteries, a fortune teller career with tarot cards as well. Anything that enhances my gameplay for occults and humans is very welcome! 

I'm not fan of B/B content because I'm not a builder but Maxis always manage to do beautiful kits.

These 2 new kits look good so they will be part of my collection.

I’m kind of hoping the artist studio kit means that some new artist things are on the way like a pottery stuff pack, or like someone else mentioned music/bands.

i love the idea of new stuff for babies and toddlers, so I’m certainly looking forward to that.

tarrot cards, don’t they predict what life has in store for you?  Is it pointing to the future, or having Zodiacs or what?  It is probably something that involves life and death as that’s the name of the new Expansion.

Since I’m more into realistic play, I’m really hoping we get a cemetery lot, and being able to make a funeral event. And of course there need to be ghosts!   I personally would rather have a psychic tarot reader job than a job being a reaper…. lol.  Maybe we will get both!  I’m pretty sure we will have some kind of reaper career, if we didn’t there would be a lot of people disappointed, but what are they going to do to make it interesting?  I can’t wait to see.  And what kind of world are we getting?  One of my favorite things about expansions are their new world!!

im hoping they will be able to fix all the game breaking problems that came with For Rent with one of the updates.

And, could they be working on updating worlds in some way?

.

I may be in the minority, but I really hope that we *don't* get zombies with the death pack, or that there is at least a way to turn them off.  The only Zombie media I have ever enjoyed was the movie Warm Bodies.  Otherwise, I find Zombies uninteresting.  Boring even.

Now, the old idea of a Grim Reaper career... that might hold some appeal.

But I'll make my final call when we see the preview trailer.  The Life and Death expansion is something that I can see myself either really loving, or really hating depending on what they do with it.  (it's not like Faeries where I know what I want isn't practical.)

If the new world is good I might get it

I am really looking forward to the storybook nursery. I hope it offers both a crib for newborns and a crib for infants, perhaps even a matching toddler bed? So our little ones can use their nursery through more than one lifestage. 

I am also disappointed that GP are still missing in action . They were often good packs with good gameplay. They also offered great supernatural lifestates. So far the supernatural lifestates in EP haven't been as in depth as GP ones. Let's hope this pack offers something for supernatural gameplay while we are waiting for GP to return. 

I was also thinking "world update" with the 4 worlds others have mentioned until someone mentioned making the worlds editable. I would SO love this!!! One of my pet peeves of the game is the fact you cannot edit outside of the lot. There are things that NEED edited outside of the lot, dag nab it, and this would be AWESOME!!! If they want to add more lots, I would really go for that 😁

Also hope UPDATES mean we will get more fixes for the bugs in previous packs. Some of these bugs are really becoming problems for my gameplay...for others, it makes the game unplayable. EA, PLEASE FIX THESE! I truely don't see myself putting any more $ into a game that is broken every time there is a new patch. 

As for updating death, that has no appeal for me. The game already has death and Grimmy. Other than Zombies, what can a pack about death really give us? I play this game to escape RL, already have WAY too much death in my life, so adding more of it to the game, is making this pack a "NO WAY" for me. But that's me. The rest of ya'll, have fun! 

The Artist Studio kit just reminded me how the game is 10 years old, and the only art-based skills we have in the basegame are painting and woodworking - and woodworking is just a side-part of Handiness. Oh, those and a singular lump of clay.
