News Next Week? 👀 Livestream Tuesday 4/27

I think it is a new world with a school and pre-teens, or our regular teens.
But, it could be Medievel world with werewolves and new body hair also.
Of course, it could be some kind of world with superheroes and a suoerhero skill too.... as they have been wanting to do super hero’s for a long time.

I highly doubt a GP is coming. SimGuruGeorge is on the EP team (the last two packs he worked on were Eco Lifestyle and Snowy Escape). He’s most likely hinting at a new EP that’s being announced soon.

He might be on the EP team but when there's a new pack coming, EP or GP, all gurus usually hint or talk about it regardless. They know what everyone is doing/working on. Plus, SimGuruFrost was the one who first hinted at it with he's .

Not really true. SimGuruGeorge for example didn’t tweet anything about Nifty Knitting, Paranormal, or the kits. He retweeted Journey to Batuu’s trailer and that’s it. Meanwhile he talked a lot about Snowy Escape and especially Eco Lifestyle (he was the lead producer on Eco Lifestyle). SimGuruRomeo for example didn’t tweet anything about Eco Lifestyle or Snowy Escape, but talked a lot about Journey to Batuu (he was the lead producer on Journey to Batuu).

Also, SimGuruGeorge’s original tweet may be a hint that we’re getting news on Monday morning (possibly a teaser as they like releasing teasers on Monday morning). SimGuruFrost only replied to it.

I don't want to ignite a fire here, but I'd like to point out that the Sim gurus have essentially confirmed that Generations is coming at some point. They said so in the last live stream. So why not allow other types of gameplayer their portion of fun without umbrage? If it is indeed supernatural gameplay this time, which we can't currently confirm. It is the polite and civil thing to do.

Because we family players haven't had dedicated content since 2017 and Parenthood, so there's that, while you had Vampires, Realm of Magic & Paranormal, not counting Batu as I know many occult players dislike it and don't see it as an occult pack (it's not, it's a Disney World Batu advertisment pack).

I would say Cats and Dogs and Seasons are family oriented packs, both added a ton of family themed content. Even the other EP's like Snowy Escape, Island Living, and Get Together offer a bunch of family oriented activities and game play. Considering there isn't a Generations EP, I think Sims 4 has a lot of family themed content scattered throughout the various EP's, just because the themes of the packs aren't specifically about families, they still add content for families. Last year we got Tiny Living, Nifty Knitting, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, all of these in my opinion add on to family play in some way. Sure we recently got Paranormal Stuff, but before that, the last true occult pack was Realm of Magic. Don't get me wrong, I still really want more family game play, but I think occult players deserve more too.

Interesting, I definitely think it's meant as a playful little hint. But it could be anything.. Occult-themed or not. I personally think they wouldn't release another fantasy-themed pack so soon after Paranormal. Most occult packs seem sandwiched between two realistic ones. I hope we'll get an announcement soon!

I remember SimGuruNinja once said that they need permission from SimGuruFrost to start hinting about new packs. Maybe he's in charge of how or when they release teasers.

THIS is basically all I want for family gameplay - also, I want sims to do these things TOGETHER, like bike TOGETHER, jog TOGETHER, talking while doing so, building relationships. When Sims go to the park, they stand around and talk or each Sim does their own thing. There is nothing they can do together. i also miss the throw a ball game we had in TS3.

I know not all of this may be possible but this is what I think of in terms of gameplay with a generation's type pack.

So, GrimSuruDoi is also joining in the fun. I think they're definitely teasing a new pack.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact of whatever it is it only works in one world and with particular Sims, again. Like so many of the styled packs that can't be played unless you are playing particular Sims. Such as the magic pack, the Disney pack, the SV pack etc. :/

I agree! Hopefully whatever this thing they're referencing is playable in all worlds, and not just one. I assume it would be like the Magic Realm in Realm of Magic.
If you can only play with the feature in a certain world, then that's ridiculous.

No more Strangerville or Journey to Batuu thank you very much....

Ol' Georgie is talking about "playing in one world from a Friday to a Monday". Playing implies recreation. And dare I say it could imply traveling or a vacation. This could be a solo person taking a trip, a couples getaway, or a Chevy Chase inspired Family vacation. (I only mention Chevy Chase because of you SimGuruNinja. :D )

Now Ol' Frosty responds with the classic set up for the continuation of this tease. Some have come to associate with Strangerville (and with good reason). It is clear that he is referencing some content that hasn't been released. However... I suspect his use of ties in to an ACTIVITY given Georgie's response.


Now here's the fun one:

I suspect the first is in reference to the activity that Frosty was alluding to is his tweet. Hmm... what if is more than one activity?
Georgie is basically saying that this 'mystery' activity is only available to sims.
Well now... instead of going with "occult sims", let's go with some other options

• dating or married sims - well now... that could set the stage for some 'romance' or 'date'. Might there be a Honeymoon theme to this? Might it be somewhere to get married? Wouldn't be saying singles couldn't go to this world, just that they could for a date or a honeymoon.
  
• young adult / adult sims / elderly - yeah, I know the teens and toddlers are left out. But the activity I was thinking of here would be gambling.
  
• People with a ticket - Huh what? Simple. The activity that Frosty is referring to is something that requires a ticket. Like some sort of show or concert.
  

Hmm... what if is all three of those? nah you don't think...

What if the third is referencing a specific destination world that would have all 3 of those activities available but the individual lot types there were available to be put in other world lots.

Could we be getting a "Vegas" themed world with Hotels, Casinos and "show venues" for some sort of "Honeymoon in Vegas" themed pack?

nah... I am probably overthinking. RIGHT?

I have to say, I hope it is Hotels, Casino’s and Honeymoons!!
