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 chill would mean Moroccan style courtyard.

Hmm, Bong with nature sounds pretty good to me. :lol:

Grow Ops & Hemp Farms confirmed! LOL

Wasn't the new 'kit' based on Moroccan themes supposed to come out today? Or did I have that date wrong?

Tomorrow.

Curious about the GP since those tend to be my favorite packs. Kind of sounds like a hobbies pack though, which would be "meh" for me.

But "charming"... Could that be like "Prince Charming?" As in Fairy Tales? Doubtful, because fantastical things tend to be GPs, but that's where my mind went.

Base game updates are usually good.... unless they're coming with nerfs. I'm a little anxious about that.

I actually considered this as well for the EP. I mean, I doubt it's going to be fairy tale based (although this could be an opportunity to include a medieval theme too, I suppose. Like a Medieval theme as far as CAS and BB goes, but with a fairy tale twist?) although I'd be all for it. Lol.

And yeah, I know what you mean. I always get worried about nerfs too. Although an UN-nerfing, I wouldn't mind. Though, I don't know if it will ever happen or not.

I think there's a schedulle in the order of the announcement today (kit -> gp -> block party -> event -> bg updates -> ep):

May - kit and gp
June - block party and event
July - bg updates and ep

I also think that maybe all the announced events are related to summer. The title of the announcement, Expand Your World With Summer Of Sims, kind of sounds like it, and the first one, Courtyard Oasis kit, is related to summer.

I've learned to keep my expectations very low for The Sims 4, so I'm not gonna get myself too hyped up... however, the fact that the nature themed expansion pack *could* be farming is honestly getting me excited... but, like I said, I won't get my hopes up... because I already know it's likely gonna be something like Outdoor Retreat 2.0 or Eco Lifestyle 2.0... :|

I'm not worried much about the game pack, though... because, in my opinion, they generally always do a great job with them (with the exception of the cringe worthy Star Wars pack). I give Outdoor Retreat a free pass (even though it's my least favorite one) because that was basically "testing the waters" for game packs overall. The others have been decent and great!

Also, I'm more than happy to welcome anything related to LGBT pride (since I'm a gay man myself), but I'm confused to what they mean by "virtual block party"... like, what? lol

I think the virtual block party is probably something like " Hey! Join us on Twitter and show us your sims!" And the rocking sims event is probably a summer sale. Is that cynical? It feels cynical.

« Bond with nature in this charming new EP » please tell me it’s Farming!!!!

None of the description sounds like generations, sadly.

Honestly I am tired with June Expansion Packs. Why does Every Pack released in June has to be related with Nature? Seasons, Island Living and Eco Lifestyle fill those. I am in no way against farming but I would love a different theme this time for June. In this three packs they changed how nature related feature in the base game works (such as gardening) and in all of them the gardening brokes... I just wish for once we get a non nature specific expansion packs.

I'm a bit disappointed that the expansion pack doesn't sound like a generations type pack. I feel like the game is desperate for more family play and they are making us wait so long. I just want real babies and kids to be like actual kids instead of mini adults that go to school.

I still look forward to finding out more in the future and also I have my fingers crossed it's not farming. :D

Cautiously excited, not sure if it will have horses or farming, but at least they all sound interesting to me.
