I guess they just wanted to use animals to hint at the pack, so they put whatever animals we have in the game, cats being one of them. But they did use 4 cats, so I guess maybe if we're getting an animal-related pack, it could be a hint that they're including felines like lions and such. Just a guess tho.

If they picked random stuff from previous packs and added to the picture, I wouldn't be speculating, but to me it really looks like it's a hint.

Why would they pick 2 different images of cats, for instance? If they were just showing random previous content, why not add a skeleton, a servo or something like that, why add FOUR cats in the picture (and in two different places)? On top of that, there's an owl, a kid with an unicorn t-shirt holding a bear, a spider and a sim with an elephant pattern on her skirt. I mean, isn't that too much animals? I say that's speculating material, but that's just me.

Also, as I mentioned, those sims protesting could definitely be related to Eco Lifestyle, and I just noticed that in the male sim's shirt is planet earth. To me that's definitely realted to the community gathering and voting to stop pollution.

The future cube (which the simgurus themselves brought attention to) also has these 2 phrases:

"I see a gnome wielding a frozen rabbit riding atop a llama into battle against an udder'ly impressive foe."
"Your future looks pixelated."

You can clearly see a pixelated gnome in the picture and, considering the 4 felines in the picture and the elephant pattern, the impressive foe could be a lion or an elephant.

I'm generally quite realistic/pessimist and don't tend to dream too much, also, safaris are not on my wishlist, so I have no reason to be reaching about it, I just really think there's a lot of hints in this pic.

Very well put together ?????I have to agree.

I really hope this guess ends up being right. I would love more vacation GPs, and Safari one could be really fun (and new)! It could also feature the return of more small pets (reptiles and birds, which could also explain the owl in the picture)

@EliasVersace The mother cat is tired and there are three kittens. There is a spider and a magical owl with a naked pixelated gnome.

I have no idea what any of that means. ??

I think the naked gnome and the 'the future is pixelated' could refer to the Free Love action plan in Eco Lifestyle?
And aren't the cats related to Nifty Knitting (since cats like wool)?
So, there might as well be a safari pack coming next!

They did ask on the poll if we'd like an African style world... that would kinda fit haha.

Yes, I also think the gnome is related to the free love feature in EL, I just used it to explain why I think the roadmap art is giving us hints in general.

About cats being related to knitting, I don't know. I think it does make sense, but they could've also included elders or people dressed in comfy clothes. By adding 4 cats, and combining those with all the other animals in the pic (owl, bear, butterfly, elephant, unicorn, spider) I can only think it's related to a safari or another animal-related pack.

Also, I think it would be kinda pointless to hint at the knitting pack since we chose the theme, so we always knew it was coming out.

I think bands, but I also think a new vacation. In africa.

I'ld say that the next GP is either

- a new vacation destination in Africa because of the 'tour guide', the elephants and the felines;
- a space travel pack because of the stars on the girl's necklace and because there are the unicorn, feline and spider constellations or
- a darkness pack because cats, owls, spiders and stars are nocturnal or have night vision. Also owls represent bad luck and elephants with the trump up represent good luck.

It’s almost definitely a dragon pack/reminiscent of game of thrones. The gnome freezer bunny on a llama sounds like the ice king and the vet with multiple cats reminds me of the mother of dragons. I’ve noticed the sims team does this a lot with popular media: Strangerville was their version of Stranger Things. Sulani was their version of Moana. Realm of Magic was their version of Harry Potter. I think this game pack will be an adaptation of the most successful pop culture thing in a while: Game of Thrones. I have no idea how they would pull that off in a game pack though I’m excited to see them try!
