I'd really like that too. But I really want a werewolf band like I had in Sims 3.

Same here. I would call them The Beastie Boys.

The previous season they announced 1 kit, 1 GP and 1 EP. A second kit was released.

It seems November is a kit and maybe December is an EP.


After Discover University, I'm waiting for High School Drama and Cheer.

American High Schools
Cafeteria cliques, racy relationships and SAT struggles, the halls are alive with the sound of drama.

Growing Pains and Life Issues
Life is hard. Now your sims feel those physical and emotional changes as they grow up.
Realistic reactions and emotions bring deeper connections to the world around them.

Cheer
Immerse yourself in the world of cheerleading where focus is king and distractions are dangerous. Keep the team together, build routines and make sure to stick the landing.

Ugh, I hope it isn't that one. Or if they make it, they better give me something other than cheerleading. Like band, with wind instruments.

I hope it’s generations.

It would be a bit odd to call it "Season of selves" if it did not last longer than a month. So they have to release their other kits first, and their roadmap also hints at more free updates.

I personally feel that them announcing and releasing four kits at once is not looking good for future packs, that could mean a shift in their development where packs are becoming more rare.

Just speculating but I think it could have to do with a mix of everyone working from home and working on basegame. A lot of the packs they released were already in the works before the pandemic came. Now the stuff they work on is (probably) all started from home which could impact production.

Also they are working on lore and general basegame updates, possibly more refreshes. Unless they hire a whole new team they can't do everything. So I see the kits as a way of releasing easy bug free content while they work on it.

Plus you have the other set of simmers screaming "stop releasing packs and fIx tHe GaMe!"
Lol?‍♀️

It think we’ll get the next 2 kit announcements next week with a release of a week or 2 after that. That frees EA up from the season of selves roadmap in November and means they could still announce a winter road map and release an expansion before the end of the year.

Why can't romance be generations? Makes sense to me.

Babies, teenage angst, romance, teenage grunge bands with drums, body hair, werewolves, and a new world seem doable. Cottage Living was complete fan service so this could be too.

I mean, I'd rather have Werewolves in their own Game Pack, but as I said when there was speculation about Cottage Living having an Occult, Werewolves can "survive" getting the Aliens/Mermaids treatment better than Faeries, so I'd take it.

American Werewolf in Paris, anyone? :wink:

Ooo, I could go for a Werewolf in Paris. The Werewolf could bit or even eat the evil reign-in-terror French that had their own innocient people beheaded. Meh, ha, ha, ha. :p >:)

Yeah with the ability to form pop bands as well

Yeah, people working from home could be a reason, so I do hope that I am wrong, we will see what they will release next.

I am not sure how I feel about refreshes, I am happy that they are attempting to fix the game and improve old packs, on the other hand...some of these packs are very, very old. I think they should refresh packs that can really benefit from it, not try to improve an old pack that is very limited because it was one of the first packs that Maxis made. They have not told us what their plan is with their refreshes, how many they plan to make or how large or small they are.

In the end, I am judging Maxis from what they make, not what they could make so it's up to them to show us that they do want to keep improving and investing in development for this game. I do hope that this season of selves and their next pack will show that.
