Robles family
Guys. The prominent family mentioned in the blog is the Robles family. Robles. CA. Am I the only one whose mind goes to Paso Robles? (I.e., CA wine country?)

Considering this is the family and generations expansion pack, I highly doubt it's coming in this one. Perhaps later but aboslutely not now.

I think the name represents strong family roots or a family tree. Roble means oak tree in Spanish.
Yeah, that's certainly possible, and if the EP weren't set in a California-style world, I would lean toward thinking that was the only meaning. But come on. The devs live in CA. There's no way they're not familiar with Paso Robles. They had to know someone would make that connection.
IDK, it's a fairly common surname in many Spanish speaking countries. Also, worlds in the Sims are almost never inspired by a single place.
I also doubt they'll add nectar making in a family oriented pack (they'd have to dedicate resources to create it and take them away from the new family gameplay) or that they would choose to bring nectar making in a world that's not inspired -at least to some point- by the three largest wine producers (Italy, Spain and France) in the World.
Yeah, I never said in this pack.
We always talk about hints in each pack for upcoming packs. It's arguably the most established tradition of this forum.
And yes, considering that sequoias are only native to a fairly small part of California, and nowhere else in the world, I would say it's a pretty safe bet that San Sequoia is primarily inspired by California.
