"New Sims Experience" theories

I think it will be something new for the game or the next new pack it must be something new for the game is how I see it.

So "experience" is marketing speak for content? I don't disagree, it is just that the wording worried me a bit. I can understand why some people think it is VR (although I don't think that's what it is) because "experience" makes it sound like it will change how people play. I certainly hope it is new content and not something like an online component, or something of the sort.

Yes, 'experience' seems to imply more than content, and 'next' is definitely not the same as 'new'. 'Next', I think, implies something for the PC/console game, rather than a 'new' experience on a different gaming platorm. Marketing people aren't usually careless with words (except when they are) - we do a lot of our own marketing in my department, and we do debate words like 'next' and 'experience' as opposed to alternatives. In any case, they specifically said 'Sims 4', so it's definitely not Sims 5 or another spin-off.

Open Naighborhood!!!! New Experience!!! Or new Ways off worlds,open worlds!!!! in FREE pach and NEW EP Seasons!!!!

Seasons would definitely be new to the Sims 4. I don't know if it's next.

Cars would be new to the Sims 4. Farming would be new to the Sims 4.

Any of these might be the next experience. Or it could be anything -- these are just examples.

I really don't understand the new and next difference here.

We had spa day that's new, we have cafés that's new we have yoga that's new, we have a vacuum cleaner and that lgbt update that is new. Sims 4 is introducing more new stuff then the previous now anything can be new cars, burglars, firemen etc. Just like anything can be next Seasons, another stuff pack or game pack another Vacation lot.

Ooh -- but I just thought of something.


They did say "next' right? So that would indicate that there would be nothing "new" between now and EA Play? Or is that reading too much into it? Maybe it is reading too much into their use of words.


Someone correct me if I'm wrong -- because I would like to see something released between now and late June. I was hoping the lack of teaser trailer was not due to no pack(s) being released.

Well technically yoga was in sims 2
Cafés were in sims 3

The vacuum cleaner is awesome though.

Cloud gaming and cross platform? We have already started getting Cloud saving of games with Origin which some say interferes with their game......................................

"During a GDC pre-briefing, Microsoft revealed its new Cloud Gaming division, fronted by Kareem Choudhry. The new division will include all the cloud gaming products that the firm currently offers to developers.

During the briefing, the firm repeatedly stated how its tools and platforms will work across almost all gaming devices - consoles, PCs, Macs and smartphones. The firm's integrated developer environment - Virtual Studio - is Unity's default IDE for us on Macintosh, for example. Microsoft is not abandoning operating systems or consoles, but it's business is not solely focused on them, either. In fact, it doesn't even need them."

This is the way the gaming industry seems to be going as apparently Amazon is also interested and I do remember that Sims 4 was one of the two earliest games to be checked for running ok with Windows 10 when I checked when I installed 10 when it first came out.

Could be way too early though.

Yes! I think we won't get anything new between now and EA Play but I think we'll get an EP late June. There wasn't a quarterly teaser because the only pack we will get this quarter is an EP and they don't want to tease it from now (if they are going to announce it middle/end April) - this is what I think :) !
