Does anyone else remember last year when a guru said that they were excited for 2017 because of all the great things they have planned? I do. I also remember there were a lot of negative reactions to that comment. I hope all those people enjoyed eating their words.

There was perfectly legitimate reason to be skeptical of that comment. 2017 was fine but it didn’t completely blow me away. Of course I’m very happy for toddlers though! People don’t end up feeling bad about being wrong if it all turns out to be awesome. There are many times I would GLADLY be wrong. Like, I think Seasons will not come until November. Will I be sad that I said that if it comes out sooner? Nope. I’ll be ecstatic to be playing it sooner than expected

Ok so earlier in this very thread, @LeGardePourpre posted the previous quarterly releases and it WAS the 6th. The 6th was a Friday after they went back to work on the Tuesday. So it could be the Friday again this year, assuming they go back on Tuesday again.

Why eating their words?

I mean 2017 sure must have been amazing for people looking for specific content, such as pets and the other packs, but not everyone likes the same stuff.

People waiting for Seasons and nothing else might also say that 2017 was.. 'meh'.

Everyone likes different things, so for one person it's amazing, while for the other person it's not that great.
And SimGurus are ALWAYS very excited about every product they create -duh-, so nothing wrong with being a little skeptical about it.

To me 2017 was 'okay'. The Toddlers were the absolute highlight for me. Vampires I don't really care about (although they are done well this time around) Parenthood was imo a decent pack, and Pets, pff.. I don't know. I like the world, but I personally have never really been big into Pets EP's in the past.

Still waiting for Seasons to blow me away. (ehhh.. at least, wishful thinking).

For me 2017 was meh. It didn't really improve till we got Cats and Dogs which was the one pack I really love. I liked many of the packs eg the bowling stuffpack but nothing really blew me away till Cats and Dogs. Hoping 2018 will blow me away several times starting with tropical vacations.

Well for me 2017 was great. To each their own.

I look forward to 2018, hoping it is equally well done.

I was not a fan of Sims 4 until the things they produced in 2017, and I really love everything they made this year. It turned the game completely around for me - especially the toddlers and the amazing Vampires. I finally can enjoy playing Sims 4.

At the moment, I could take or leave Seasons, but would love Witches and University more than anything else next.

Right now I am sick to death of the extreme cold and way too much snow with 5 more months of this garbage still to come in real life - so it probably heavily colors my negative feelings on Seasons at the moment. At the same time I feel for the simmers who want that pack a lot - so truthfully I just look forward to seeing what comes next period.

For me I'm back in the same position I was last year. I'm on the verge of giving up. Toddlers were the highlight last year for sure, parenthood was a good pack but cats and dogs was a huge let down.

I imagine laundry will be coming in the first quarter and that doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I went back to Sims 4 after toddlers, but dropped it soon after.
I haven't purchased any EP's or GP's & never will.
Sims 3 (and sometimes 2) are the games for me.
From the beginning I felt Sims 4 was geared toward tweens -not adults, & relied more on getting new players rather than embracing their older/loyal customers.
If they ever plan a Sims 5 -I hope new talent is hired (or the talent they once employed for Sims 3)
If not, then Sims 3 will be my last.

Toddlers didn't blow you away? Vampires didn't blow you away? Even if you don't play either of those, surely you have to admit that they are well done.

No neither blew me away. Don't get me wrong I love the toddlers when I play them and I'm glad we got them but I still wasn't blown away. Vampires are ok but I rarely play them.

Something that would blow me away

Themeparks and Waterparks aka Walt Disney World for my Sims with Carnival Rides. After playing with the roller coasters and carousels in TS3 I want them back in TS4 and Ferris Wheels as well.

Seasons

A Tropical Vacation

Cars

A Romance Based Pack.

I hope the teaser is today but it probably isn't

The teaser was just released on their twitter page!! https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/948252638037942272
