You might be right.

Ok, I will forever be referring to cars as sloppy jalopys from now on hahahahaha! Amazing!

I really hope we're getting a CAS update. Specifically, one that lets us copy makeup/accessories across categories and that helps match up alien disguises. This sounds out of nowhere and unrelated BUT the last patch randomly changed how the game handled aliens in CAS, as seen by the broken alien CC. There was nothing in the patch notes about it, which could mean it's background work to get ready for a bigger update, because otherwise what's the point of changing it? If a CAS update allowed items to copy/paste or be linked, makeup and aliens are the big two needing copy/pasting. It's also a good inclusion step with the new medical wearables, as people don't just magically not need hearing aids when they change their shirt.

It seems like the Sims team has been doing a lot of requested updates, and we've been asking for makeup/accessory copying for a while. The mechanics are totally doable, based on the fact that a) newer occult forms can be linked, b) mods are able to copy/paste accessories and makeup (and so many of the recent releases are following the most popular mods in the community), and c) CAS already links hairstyle changes across categories. Final point of evidence: the developers are known to hint at future things with each new release, and the only occult recipe from the Home Chef pack uses alien fruit. Coincidence? Probably, but one can hope.

If the EP is about the neighborhood, I'm guessing an expansion to the neighborhood stories system. I am hoping for YA going off to uni/getting jobs, people getting married and getting divorced.

Anyone remember this? We now have horses.

I hope the expansion pack is not an expansion about neighborhood stories. I don’t even use it because I play rotationally.

I would much rather see cars, or hotels. I don’t know about the alien changes. Since aliens came with get to work, I can’t see how aliens would be affected by a new pack unless they bring aliens to the base game, or have some pack crossover.

not that I'm complaining but where was it revealed there was a third EP coming this year? Not being snarky, that's a totally innocent curious question I have.

At the Sims Summit recently, along the Stuff Pack!
It's in the current roadmap, too https://x.com/TheSims/status/1701631113612169532?s=20

Thank you! I have no idea how I missed that because I did watch that video. Probably distracted lol. But that's great news I think.
