"New Sims Experience" theories

When they say “new experiences” I’m moving away from the theories of sims 3 content being refused to added back via the sims 4’s newer shell, yes I believe we will see SOME oldies but whether they’ll be goodies is...difficult to guess.

New experiences I can assume will relate to cars, new exciting ways we can give our sims life and sure they may not be amazing but if EA are willing to stir things up then I wanna see what they’ve got in mind. Right now I’m theorizing cars are gonna make a come back as will twists on older aspects of the games, not sims 3 or 2 but sims 1, don’t ask me why but as they seem to be going backwards, not really in a good way, I’m wondering if they’ll pull some branches off the sims 1 tree and prod at sims 4 with it, bring back weird NPC’s, if they give us back burglars and cops, add a weird twist to them so we’re not always expecting someone trying to get into our place and sirens to blare down the road but maybe the cop will be bad in some way or the burglar won’t be all stripes and a mask but an old woman in a clown costume taking back what you rotten grandkids stole from her. I dunno but I’m not expecting conventional when it comes to “new sims experience”, I’m thinking it’ll get weird and not in a good way but not in a bad way either, it’ll just be weird but we will make do as we have always done.

Maybe it's an alien expansion pack, or it's on another planet?

That's the dream!
I once asked a sim guru if they would ever flesh out the aliens like they did with vampires, but they told me they would probably make an entire new alien life state instead of updating the old one :/

it seems EA hates updating old stuff :p

They really do. Once they bring out an expansion it's 'finished'. I wish they would update released content instead of abandoning it completely...

Well, they did it with My First Pet... of course that wasn't an update. And you had to pay for it too.

It could be the Sims 5 I hope not not yet but you never know it could be a university GP think about it the term New Experience where do you get new experiences? University
Personally I hope it’s a sports pack we have never had that before.

It's specifically Sims 4:

I've got my fingers crossed for Seasons, which I'd love to have, or something like an active school pack (that might fit in a GP, and a GP might be a more likely summer release than Seasons, which really has to be an EP because of the amount of coding all that weather + seasonal systems would need, I think).

I'm going with low expectation so I don't get disappoint with EA as usual so I think it's just Cats and dogs EP for consoles and/or some VR thing for Sims 4
EA tends to follow what's trending this year not what people wants

Gamescom is the other event in August yes? That was where Cats and Dogs got announced. So I expect Stuff Pack or Game Pack for EA Play.

For Game Pack I hope one of the following
1. Supermarket (build and run your own business and stock up the fridge with 'supplies' so you don't waste money for every little thing from the fridge like Sims 2 had in its base game).
2. Witches
3. Tropical Vacation (please don't make it feature beaches to swim in oceans because that means we need to vacation to go to a beach which is ridiculous).

For Stuff Pack I hope one of the following
1. Pool Stuff (floats, diving board (one for free in the month update for base game users), and a pool bar (Island Paradise anyone?) along with new water colors, pools need to be cleaned with the net or get a filter if you can afford it).
2. Arcade Stuff (arcade machines are back finally! :smile:)

If they're really speaking of a brand new experience, I'd love the idea of implementing government into the game. Like, a Monarchy or even a lesser form of government such as an actual Mayorship (but a Monarchy would be cooler) ... Let's just say the pack would allow the player to choose between playing with either a Monarchy or a Mayorship.

You can love them or hate them, protest, deface their property, befriend their kids/marry into the family, celebrate their birthday at a new festival, etc. If the Monarchy is chosen for gameplay, it could also lead to (or be) a legacy gamepack or sorts - will the Princess be able to rule as well as her late father, King ___? I never purchased the Superstar pack many have spoken of here back when Sims 1 was a thing, but I'm thinking many of the animations would be be similar + animations we already have (protesting, spray painting, etc.).

IMO, Seasons might be the next pack, but it isn't new as we have had it in past versions. Farming is new because we have never had a farming pack before, but it might not be the next pack. EA chooses their words very carefully. The tweet said next, not new.

I agree, although seasons would be said to be new in the context of sims 4 specifically, as we don't have it in 4, although I appreciate calling it new in this context is debateable. Of course if it introduced features or gameplay dynamics we haven't seen in previous games then it could be said to be new.

Seasons in TS4 could be new if it combines vacations. We've never had a Season/Vacations pack before. It could include a Tropical Beach Location and a Alpine Winter Location.

O.P. please change the title from NEW to NEXT. As you can see in the quote a few posts above, it clearly says next, not new. New is misleading and incorrect.

Better: 'Next SIMS 4 Experience'

Didn't EA change it after he posted the original thread? They changed something but I can't remember what.

@Simburian yah they did, they changed it to ''Sims 4 experience'' so it's funny how so many people are still saying it's about the sims 5 or sims mobile.
