To be honest at the moment I'm kind of anxious about an announcement, rumors are saying either Fairies or Generations, and out of those two fairies is the one I want the most, but I can already see how the community will react. I feel like the ugly side will definitely return if it is an occult (and it's already starting to) and I can't deal with the toxicity getting right up like it was when Batuu came out. I don't want it to get back to the stage of only going on "positivity threads" to be excited for a pack that I've wanted for 7 years and avoiding all the screaming and fighting and anger over optional game dlc

I'm not expecting anything today though, I'm thinking if there is something they'll announce it next week in early May again like Eco Lifestyle last year.

Exactly this. Why is anyones excitement more valuable than another? I want occult too but I can already see where this is going if it is an occult. Yet if it's family related I'm going to be super happy for them because more occults WILL come at some point as well as more "family" play. Everyone deserves a turn to get what they might like. I just don't see why we can't be happy for eachother.....

Plus the sims was never build a bear. You got what they gave you but they were kind enough to listen to players and implement things they might want most. Now people have turned it into I GET WHAT I WANT AND I GET IT NOW OR I RIOT RAWRRRR?

Oops now I feel bad I don't want fairies. But if is fairies I will need to voice my discontent otherwise they think everybody likes fairies and then the next pack will be unicorns. :)

I'm just hoping that they actually release something today, otherwise I know that many people are going to be disappointed. The skeptic in me just thinks that SimGuruGeorge was asking a harmless question and then the others started to tease him about it.

Edit: He deleted the tweet, but here's a pic of it - because I'm fast.

The Pink Supermoon is tonight... could very well have been planned this way all along.

But he could very well just be yanking our chain about it all.

The realist in me agrees with the bolded part. That's why I tried to post the tweets where they said it wasn't a hint. (There's one for the moon pic too, but people won't believe it)

It's all just harmless speculation. Let us have our fun. ?

Please take this with a grain of salt. But although I was leaning towards faeries just a few days ago. After thinking about all the hints this morning, I'm now leaning more towards a possible Werewolf pack. And I'll explain why below.

- The speculation of the calendar coming to the base game would line up very well with the release of a werewolf pack seeing as tracking moon phases would be very important.
- Frost responding to a comment about werewolves back in January, even though there were multiple comments about Generations, Farming, and Babies as well. Why would he choose werewolves out of all comments to respond to. If not a hint at an upcoming pack?
-All of the hints about France, which while could very well just be a coincidence or hinting at a French themed pack wouldn't be too much of a reach considering Rougarou or Loup Garou is a French word relating to Werewolves. And ALSO has ties to New Orleans and Louisiana, which we know by now inspired Paranomal Stuff to a degree.
- The name "Guidry" comes from a word meaning "hunt" which also lines up perfectly with werewolves.
- The "Spellcaster Schedule" item from Realm of Magic (the last pack we got with an official occult lifestate) depicts different moon phases.)
- The werewolf items in Vampires.
- The speculation of a body hair update due to the tweet on the Spanish Sims twitter page + Luumia's joining the team is very timely.
- And finally the fact that tonight is the night of the full moon. I'm sure it could be coincidence, but considering George's original tweet mentioned Monday which happens to be the day the full moon falls on seems a little bit too coincidental to be a coincidence.

Of course, with nothing being confirmed, this is still pure speculation. But all of this happening around the same time + hints in past occult themed packs just got my wheels rolling. While faeries initially seemed more likely for a spring/summer pack, all of these hints seem to be pointing towards werewolves.

And not only that, but I just remembered this Snowy Escape hint.

The tunnels twist and turn. They often get very dark except for an icy blue glow dimly filtering in from the distant entrance. {SimFirstName} is navigating mostly by touch. The cold rock & ice walls suddenly become something hairy and damp. It lets out a deep growl, and this time it isn’t {0.SimFirstName}’s one weird uncle. {Sim} sprints back towards the entrance without waiting to find out more.\n\nAt least {SimFirstName} got some exercise in.

Which I found out about thanks to Antoinette Muller's new article on Extra Time Media just this morning.

Again, take this with a grain of salt. I know no more than anyone else here does. I just want to throw it all out there.
