Do you remember the future cube hints that were added a while ago? When you read them now, they were clearly hinting at Cottage Living with this one:I see a gnome wielding a frozen rabbit riding atop a llama into battle against an udder'ly impressive foe. (new gnomes, rabbits, llamas, cows)By now the only one that remains unsolved is this one:The most popular destination to elope is not yet known.While I think it possible that they might have meant the ruins in the Bramblewood that come with a special sentiment if you get romantic there, I still think this is probably hinting at a Romance Pack that is already in development, because the Bramblewood ruins are really not that special and popular is also a weird term for some abandoned place in the woods (though the German term "heimlich" would actually fit pretty well). I'm still thinking of a Paris themed world for a Romance Pack and this would fit the future cube result extremely well.Now with the new 100 baes challenge, there's one more hint towards a romance pack coming soon.Another sign of a Romance pack being in the works is the preferences system they added lately. I'm convinced they gave us part of it in advance because they are planning to make use of it in the Romance Pack and maybe wanted to get a bit of it out in advance to see how it is received and if there are any serious flaws that have to be fixed for the Romance Pack, also that way they would not have to do all everything at once.That would also explain why they didn't add on to the system yet since they released it (except for enabling existing wellness preferences for children, which was super easy) if they are carrying our feedback into the pack to be released.What do you think? Might we be getting a Romance Pack as the next bigger pack (GP or EP)?

there is also lots of items with romance mentions in build buy since few packs backand Agnes, the queen herself, could be also considered to be hint as she is romance pack npc originallyi just wish all these little hints would actually materialize into romance pack alreadyhttps://c.tenor.com/v0cBeb_yBgUAAAAC/its-been84years-titanic.gif+it better dang come with couple dancing

I think we'll be getting a romance system with something else, and probably soon.By "with something else" I mean that the pack (probably) won't be just the new romance system + attendant build/buy and CAS. It may be as small as just a new destination world in a game pack, or it may be something more complicated like Hotels/Casinos (& Heists? I can only hope)But this 100 Baes challenge, especially given that per her first episode it was designed with EA, is definitely giving me romance pack vibes.(Just please not with Werewolves under some sort of "Animal Attraction" idea. I don't want the Normal players demanding the nerfing of my precious Werewolves.)Then again, I've been sure we were getting a school based pack/update for about a year now, and that hasn't happened either.

They never promoted any school related anything so far, not even when they release Discover University pack. The possibility for a romance pack is very high I say.

I can only hope) With hotels, I could see them go the more rustic B&B in Vermont kind of deal, or a Vegas let's elope and get married by a Judith Ward impersonator at a little Chapel of love and have the more cheerier love themed stuff like vibrating beds. Though only the former seems at a scale more likely to include a management aspect people seem to want when they mention hotels.Barring hotels, I could see them adding it as part of a Paris themed world, maybe "labours of love" that also focuses on arts, music and/or fashion?

Ive been thinking we are going to get a Romantic Getaway pack for awhile now, and lately gamechangers like Dr Gluon and James Turner have been building hotels. I have been wondering if they know something, especially since Gluon got his very own item description mention recently with the Fezz we got in i think Cottage Living.I think this is why when they updated cuddling in bed, they left off watching tv while cuddling too, cause its coming with this pack.Either way i think its coming soon now.I think thats why they chose to do Spas before Outdoor Retreat even though OR came out first. Spas go in hotels, and also need to get those nails done for the hot date and hope the date likes the color lol Also the hotel/resort thing by itself would elevate OR before they refresh it, so they'll have a better idea of more things for that refresh, like hopefully things that are super compatible with a hotel/resort/lodge. Or maybe they already have those ideas and released Spas first because new OR features make more sense when hotels are a thing, or cross compatible features would give away the new pack too soon.

Personally I think it wouldn't be particularly appropriate for the game to clearly dictate to us either way whether or not certain activities (like gambling, for one) should be considered "bad" or "good." If things turn a bit preachy in any game, I'm out.

I wouldn't mind a Notre Dame Paris World, as long as there can be a Werewolf in Paris. :p

I don't want them to pair romance pack up with any other bigger theme because I would be so upset if the romance part isnt done properly and they tend to miss on things when they do that

like if i see another case of " HERE A MUSIC AND GAMBLING PACK IN LAS VEGAS with i guess 2 romance interactions to call it romantic something"

I'm gonna freaking flip. no more of that give me a freaking actual romance pack. with everything romance.absolutely everything.

I am not waiting for another 7 or so years to get yet another 2 interactions
just give me the freaking romance ep full of romantic gameplay and wedding things and such

then they can do whatever they want with other packs like yeah id love music gambling occult dragons generations cultural stuff new worlds and whatever and sure inject romantic interaction or 2 in those but not if its in the way of my romance pack dang it.

So much this.
Keep the romance pack and casino/hotel/music packs separated.
And I have the same worry when people wish for the romance pack to have a "romantic vacation world".

I just don't trust Sims 4 to give us a good romance pack if they're including other things in it too. A hotel or casino would take over too much.

But admittedly, I'm heavily biased on this - I'm looking for improved romance in all worlds, I have no interest in casinos, don't know what people expect to get from hotels and are worried how they'll handle musical bands.

Both casino and hotel are not terribly large themes. Casino is just a few objects with their animations, and hotels, at a very basic set-up mean a front desk, room service and maid and hotel room door. There would be plenty of space left to develop romance in an EP.

I would still rather have romance get all the love.

Yeah but I see hotels being it's own pack, like a game pack. I don't see it being good if it's shoved in with another theme tbh

Hotels are very basic things, you sleep and have breakfast in them. They would have to add a lot more gameplay to a game pack than hotels.

I very much agree on not wanting to have Romance mixed up with another theme.

Concerning the Mandala: To me personally it just seems an assortion of stuff we previously got added for free. The bottle could stand for the liveeditmode cheat we got a good while ago. Not sure about the yellow window flowers, but the rest are alle freebies.
Actually I think this has purely been designed to show that we will be getting some more freebies this fall (along with the 4 kits). We already got hair, clothing and a lot of buy and build mode recolors, so we might not even get a lot more before December comes.
