Guys... I just realized something. Remember that they ditched the whim system and there was that leak of favorites code a while back? Favorites are probably coming.

They... just turned them off. Whims are still there.

If bunk beds are a thing, I hope they’re energy isn’t so bad, don’t need a 3 energy bed, 5 would be okay. I just hope tomorrow we get a teaser from their social media accounts. I don’t want to wait another long week or two.
I saw ppl hoping for a school revamp in other threads and if they ever do that, or decide to add private schools, that should be in its own pack, so they can focus on school for the children like RoM focused on magic.

@LoveMcQueen5683 what do you mean by they ditched it? Do you mean that they ditched it because you can disable them?

They're turned off by default (I think) and the past few packs haven't had any new whims introduced.

Also I'm having a bug where when completing a whim it doesn't register that I did it sometimes.

I think they're abandoning it for something new.

they don't seem to be making any new ones @SelinaKyles

@Rebbilina Revamping all the worlds to accomodate new routing for bicycles seems like something the devs would like to avoid doing. Plus, adding bikes to just the Uni pack might compel some players to purchase the pack in order to have bikes even if use is confined to the new world. The teams haven't been known for adding very many new gameplay features lately, so I would be surprised if bikes came out in a base game update. The devs hinted at adding swimmable beach and ocean areas to all the worlds when they told us swimming was possible only in Sulani for now, but might be possible in the future. And everyone got their hopes up because of that hint. All I am saying is, there have been certain features in recent packs that are available only in the new world included in the new pack. Bikes and cars might not be possible anywhere other than the new worlds included in future packs. Going back and making the necessary routing changes for bikes and cars to every world we have now, would take a tremendous amount of time and resources. Given the less than stellar packs and updates we have seen this year, I am not hopeful we will see bikes and cars in Willow Creek or Windenberg, or any of the other worlds. If the teams prove me wrong then I guess we all win. :)

I just want to make apartments more than anything so if dorms are coming and IF we have the option to make them then I would hope something like making apartments/dorm type living would come in a patch. I really want to fill up Newcrest with brownstones. Even better would be subhoods. Empty neighborhoods we can name and fill up how we want and connect to our existing neighborhoods. I really want to be able to disconnect neighborhoods as well. I have no use for a Strangerville neighborhood connected to the main hoods I play in. That's probably a lot to ask for though.

I'm hoping the lighthouse woohoo is finally fixed. It's been broke since the June 18th patch.

Why couldn't the bikes just follow the same paths that sims use when they go jogging?

Its cars you need to worry about.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The Sims already run/walk around each other on the jogging paths so it's definitely an easier adjustment to make (probably, what do I know, at the end of the day) than cars would be.
For the time being, fingers crossed :)

It will be a shame if bikes are confined to the university world and children cant use them.

50% sure they're confined to Uni world, 99% sure children can't use them
