The Gurus and the official Sims Twitter account have been talking A LOT about music today. So bands?

I hope you're right! :smiley:

especially as the most popular occults have already been released.

Fairies and werewolves are one of the most popular occults so nope they didn't release them all yet

I just want an occult. I don't care about anything else. Occult players have once again gotten screwed this year.

Agreed, I really thought we would get an occult game pack this fall, either werewolves or fairies. While I'm usually fine with any new content and I enjoy kits, if that is really all we're getting for the season, I will be extremely disappointed. I may need to go back to the Sims 3 for a while.

I also want an occult pack, no matter werewolves or fairies, I'm feeling OK with it.
However, werewolves may be more difficult because lunar system needs to be added.

Lunar cycle won't be that difficult as they added seasons, eco footprints, festivals in 3 worlds, and dynamic neighborhood in EverGreen Harbor. I think Lunar Cycle would work like Seasons and we can adjust its length in the settings

This season they announced 3 kits.
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 think they'll add cheerleading into the game via another pack and make it an after school activity like scouts and drama club

They said zombies would get Vampire/Spellcaster treatment? This honestly surprises me, how does a zombie get levels and perks? What would said perks be?

Still, I look forward on them delivering on their pseudo-confirmation, I'm just... super confused on how zombies would have depth. Heck, I'm still not sure how Werewolves could.

There's different types of werewolves, they come in all shapes and sizes.

Still, while there's a lot of different looks for werewolves, werewolves don't have a huge variation in powers and weaknesses. A few cultural variations, to be sure, and various pop culture interpretations on the specifics, but for the most part werewolves have super senses, super physicality, turn into a wolf or a wolf-man hybrid of some kind (maybe both) and are vulnerable to silver. The largest variations tend to come in the forms they take (which is really just monster form CAS), how one becomes a werewolf, and how you cure/kill them, and those last two points I have a feeling that Maxis is just going to pick a method. (plus being born one, of course.)

Don't get me wrong, I want Werewolves to get the full Vampires/Spellcasters treatment, but because there isn't as wide a variation in folklore for werewolves, I think they could "survive" getting the Aliens/Mermaids treatment. They wouldn't have as much depth as I'd like, but they'd be pretty serviceable.

I would love bands but what kind of music would they play that is not protected by copywrite?!

I know everyone's been speculating that the next expansion could be a romance and/or French themed pack, but what if actually all the romance and France hints are actually just pointing to two new kits: a romance kit and a France themed kit? I hope not though...

I hope not cause kits don't have new interactions.

There's so much music in the Sims library, not just Sims 4, but some really good Simish covers from Sims 2 & 3. Many artists love the opportunity to rerecord in Simish.

I went back and checked the announcement dates and release dates for expansions in the Fall for the last 3 years and historically, they are released before the week of American Thanksgiving and are announced by the end of the 2nd or 3rd week in October. If we don't get an announcement this week or next, I'm going to start worrying a EP isn't coming this Quarter.
