- phaight647 years agoNew SpectatorHi everyone! just moments earlier I mentioned that I would like to have spiral staircases in sims4, now it would be awesome if you all could add skylights in build mode, like I've heard as it is in get together, I have sims4, seasons, and others,i have limited funds so it would be nice if that item could be added to sims4. thank you an avid simmer!
- I mean kate confirmed no new pack for this month.
buuut We could still get a teaser or trailer for a feburary pack ! (but I guess that is me beeing delusional)
I think we will get a GP and a patch in feburary. They will celebrate their anniversary strongly. I also remember kate saying they will go darker for the next month (which was in december, so she reffered to january)
I really want Witches. I need them and I hope we get em next. They know we want them since much longer, grant tweeted about it early. I think its time now.
I would also be open to and alpine vaccation GP and some arrabic SP. I would like my sims to wear some hijjab styled stuff. Not for religion but rather for fashion.
Still- witches shall be next.
I watched over Grants tweets over some time. He explains that he cant say what we get next and so on and if he would do it, another person will take his place. This person might spill even less tea. He also said he already gave intentions and very very small indications on whats next. Or maybe in his on words he said something like: „but Sometimes even I say too much“
If I had to really guess whats CONFIRMED for 2019 its:
Witches (yaaasss)
Univercity (meh....but I know for some reason some simmers like that)
Its what I think what I got while „reading between the lines“ durring one of his twitter q and a“s. Could be wrong but I doubt it. "invisiblgirl;c-16923754" wrote:

What I want:
Witches GP with cauldrons, spells, potions, flying brooms, witches with pointy hats and long beards in CAS so I can finally make my dad (No CC beard nor any beard in any pack so far has been long enough), rituals and a lot of new deco items like effigies, crystal balls, grimoires, chicken feet, distillation equipment, and runes as wall decor or rugs....
What I'd like:
New stairs, chemistry system, playing tag and hide and seek for children, body hair, burglars, firefighters, police NPCs, off the grid gameplay.
What I'm indifferent about:
Cars, swimmable oceans, beach vacation, farming, university, anything modern or futuristic.
What I'd dislike:
No-more-occults-announcement, Sims 5, February being another dead month.
What I think will happen:
Either February as another dead month or 1001 nights stuff pack with turbans, hijab, a bunch of Arabian and Persian clothing, hairstyles and decor or some anniversary stuff patched in with some bugfixes.
I think were getting something in the update for the 19th birthday of the sims.
The birthday content with Bugfixes and the Stuff pack don't rule each other out.
But I wouldn't rule the dead month out so quickly. Our second and third dead month on Sims 4 were in 2018 right after each other, and this January was our fourth one. Dead months are getting more common and I wouldn't expect that to change too soon. It's very much possible we'll have more dead months than anything else before long, and waiting 2-3 months for the next patch will become normal.
They have also missed great marketing opportunities before.
The 1001 nights stuff pack was a random guess with no evidence behind, but it is what I think is the most likely pick for what pack comes next.
I'm getting tired of the dead months of no content. Atleast consoles are getting Get Famous February 12th.
I think it's time to get used to it.
Kate made it clear in the past that some months/quarters will not have ANY content released.
Besides that; it also seems that the ''monthly patches'' have stopped all of the sudden. Seems to be a new trend developing.
And the ''Giving you new ways to play EVERY MONTH'' speech is also long gone.
Honestly I wouldn't mind if Stuff Packs return. In general I liked them (exceptions here and there). I am totally fine with there being less SP's and more substantial packs, but to get rid of SP's all together is a bit extreme imo.
I see stuffpacks as nice packs to fill in the gaps between bigger releases and to fill in gaps in styles and some gameplay content we are still missing.
What annoys me the most is that with every pack they release, a whole new box of bugs opens and that it takes literally months and months to even get a fix. (I am looking at you, stinky leaf piles...). And with patches now becoming less regular, we have to sit and wait for annoying bugs to be fixed even longer..
I think it's a bit early to determine that the monthly patch is dead. There was no patch in September, and October was cancelled because the terrain tools weren't ready, but otherwise, every month had a patch in 2018. Kate warned us that they were going to 'go dark' for a bit back in December - whatever is coming isn't close enough to talk about yet. (That's why I think our next pack of any kind will be March, at least.)
Technically monthly patches don't seem to be a thing anymore https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/16908666/#Comment_16908666
SimGuruKate said that patches are always scheduled months in advance and "In 2019 I will say that January will not be the only month without a patch."
We can only hope we'll get as many patches as possible and that it'll be nearly every month because we all know we really need patches and bug fixes.- icemanfresh7 years agoLegend

You sort of can by using the glass roofs patched in before Seasons came out :) "Patrice;c-16923908" wrote:

Overall though I'd love to see just 2 stuffpacks a year,2 gamepacks and 2 expansions.
Don't we all but unfortunately that seems very unlikely. I will admit the two EP's last year was very fun I hope the trend continues.
Speaking from my personal opinion I think the removal of quarterly teasers was bad decision overall. I can see why they want to do it in-case they do not have a pack all quarter long but that seems....like a wrong move anyways so ehh.
Until the game has ironed out the rough edges that a lot of people are still having I feel like these dead months are hard on the players.
If I'm being honest with myself I really do not think there will be any announcements this month. I think they will come mid to late February for a march release. The reason why is pretty clear....and its Anthem. I'm fairly sure EA is wanting to clear the table and focus solely on marketing their big name game. Which should also set the tone for their company going forward but....that's another topic. Even though sims has a vastly different audience, I'm still sure EA wants wallets and credit cards free for February's release date. I believe EA still plays a massive part in the main game and EP decisions. Its most likely why those two things are most likely exempt from being discussed on streams. Just an observation and definitely not concrete facts but its my opinion."SimsWichtes;c-16924324" wrote:

Yes that's what I'm thinking as well. I'm hoping we get a trailer and a Pack Reveal the last week of January but that can also depend on when in February the Next Pack is."phantom121294;c-16924790" wrote:

If we don't get a pack until March this will be the first year in a while. Normally after New Year's we get a pack in January or February. Atleast Get Famous is releasing on Consoles in February though if no PC Packs are coming.- I would bet on University! I hope it is, since I've gone the honest/hard work , no cheats route . Would be fun to see my sims work their way up through college courses to success! :)

No offense, but how would that be fun?
Personally, I found University in Sims 3 rather boring. I don't ask because I hate or want to offend or something, I ask because I want to understand why so many people want University and what they all want from a university pack.
So far, I haven't gotten any answer from anyone.
My best guess is that this is a "This is supposed to be realistic, so if it exists IRL, it needs to be added to the game, no matter if it is fun or not!" kind of feature just like doing laundry.
