Summer Line-Up Announced

I personally don't get a "farming vibe" out of how they worded the "Bond with Nature" description. Which makes me emo, but then again, I didn't really expect it to be, so I'm not too disappointed.

It could very well be fairies tho, because it specifically stated "charming", and cute little fairy sprites not only have nature-ish things they use to make their houses/furniture, but they can be charming too, so that would not surprise me at all if it turns out to be that.

I am leaning towards the GP to be some music related type pack, because of the fact you can get a new career.

If they don’t want us to get all worked up, maybe they should clearly say what’s coming ? What would it change if we knew the theme of the GP and EP now ?

Wishful thinking: "Rock out" makes me think of bands.
Guessing: Ride the Wave, swimming related update for base game?
A puzzle: "Bong with Nature" sounds more like wild nature, than farming, but maybe?
Would never guess that courtyard and child would mean Moroccan style courtyard.

It says “courtyard and chill” it’s just a Netflix and chill joke.

Ι κnow! :) but it also tells the theme of the kit (that we know of)

True! Maybe they want to avoid building up months long expectations for a particular theme. The focus is more on the speculation part now.

Call me a party pooper, but whenever I see a company mention celebrating Pride I get really nervous. There's a lot of ways for that to go wrong...

No occults or generations... :s

Also what does "virtual block party" and "rock out at the sims event at the summer" even mean. The game isn't online so how exactly can there be virtual party events

Twitch, I guess.

Bond with nature... We already have Outdoor Retreat, Seasons, Jungle Adventure, Island Living (conservationist), Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape (snowboarding, rock climbing), etc.

I'm not saying nature is a bad thing but I feel like it's covered...

I'm interested in what they're doing for a Pride event and whatever the biggest Sims event of the summer is. I'm not getting my hopes up too high though haha

I wouldn't be too nervous with The Sims. It's the companies that never really mention the LGBTQ+ community then release a line of product for Pride to make a profit off it that you need to be careful of. I don't expect The Sims to do anything huge but I do think it's great they have a genuine connection to LGBTQ+ players with the collaboration with It Gets Better last year releasing a few CAS items as well as breaking down the clothing barriers in CAS.

I hope that whatever "bond with nature is", it'll include body hair in a free patch.

An interesting summer.

• A courtyard Kit.
  
• A Gamepack which I really hope is music related...??
  
• A Charming Treehugger EP. (If your sims look after the forest they may find the fairy realm...? )
  
• 3 waves of Basegame updates. I hope they’re big waves! Not small miserable ones.
  
• 1 virtual Pride Parade.
  
• 1 event for mad folks like me. Because it includes the words “rock out”. I love rocking out.
