News Next Week? 👀 Livestream Tuesday 4/27

Tomorrow cannot come fast enough. Knowing what the next pack is, for me, tends to be more fun than its release. Especially when the community gets hyped over it.

Some on Twitter are thinking mod support.

As someone who plays on Xbox, I'll die. I'm even more intrigued to what this means now.

Hm, I'm actually thinking if that recent body hair leak is another clue that points towards werewolves being in the works. I think it would be fitting and, if you consider the murphy bed and the full moon picture as clues, it could be that we're getting a pack like that soon. Also, do you think that the body hair might come with tomorrow's update, or was maybe just cc that the sims team did not notice?

Which body hair leak was there?

The one Erin Simmer showed on Youtube. The male had what looked like body hair on his arms.

There is a debate about this because the reweet seems to be a CC... Wait and see. ? I really want body hair for more realism for men Sims

The updates that have been done to CAS were okay. And the addition of male body hair isn't a horrible idea. But the game needs a lot of help in the form of bug fixes and toning down the idle animations. CAS assets are not going to make or break the core of the game as much as the game play issues that have been hanging around for years. The game is becoming increasingly unstable for a lot of players. That is quite disconcerting to me because the time is coming when I will need to stop adding anything new if I want to enjoy the game. It won't matter how much free stuff is included in future updates if I can't play in a reasonable manner that makes sense. I'll be watching the Live Stream very closely today. My hope is I'll hear some news about the teams addressing the game's issues before too much longer.

I 100% agree. The game has become extremely buggy and it's starting to become slightly unstable and frustrating to play. I was scared this was going to happen when they set out to develop more content for a 5 year old game which did not have a good base as a start, and here we are. I'm honestly considering not buying any more content until they fix the many broken things in TS4 right now, it feels like almost all features have bugs even basic things like food and fridges are broken. I don't recall this ever happening in TS3.

I'm hoping for some info on the next pack also but when asked about a pack reveal in last month's Inside Maxis this was SimGuruFrost's response.

Not sure if he was just referring to that particular livestream or all Inside Maxis livestreams.

I just want open stairwells to work again :)

My theory is the cause is the Game Engine which is aging.

I remember them mentioning that Inside Maxis live streams are only used to cover base game updates but never paid content.
I can’t recall when or where I heard this though, so don’t take my word for it. Perhaps it was during the first Inside Maxis? Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
