The Birthday Surprise Will Be..

*Moderate would include hair color sliders

I hope they finally release those cars.

I would prefer not to speculate. It's too easy to set yourself up for disappointment by doing that.

But if they don't fix the open stairs bug this month I will probably refuse to buy anything from EA until it's fixed...

I think it will be a maxis match cc pack in the size of the holiday bundle making it possible for console players to have at least access to these outfits that would normally only be for pc players.... Nothing that affects live mode gameplay just cosmetic changes with a hopefully grande bug list. Would be cool but i wont be dissapointed if its a build by jamesturner.

@logion You're right i try not to think to hard about it and let it flow... but it can be hard not to speculate... What is what is it!!!!!!!!!!

given it's a surprise with cc creators it may be a platform to support cc, something like the sims 2 body shop

Don't forget it's been done by CC creators, so there most likely won't be any gameplay additions, we're not gonna get any big things like cars or babies or UI overhauls from people who make cc.

It'll most likely just be a collection of maxis match "CC" stuff like new hairstyles and clothing, possibly with a focus on black hairstyles. I'm hoping they'll make good use of the creators involved and get lots of good items for the game as these creators are really talented and have the potential to make some really good stuff.

I personally am not expecting much from these CC creators. I'm sure whatever it is, it will be nice and appreciated but definitely not game changing. I'm guessing some CAS, hopefully better POC hair. More makeup, fingernails, vitiglio, heterochromia, and body hair would be amazing!

I honestly think it will be something small, or maybe even tiny. A cute surprise. Especially because they haven't talked about it over the last days...

If so that will be disappointing since they have 21 cc creators working with this update.

I actually think when the devs are quiet it means something quite substantial. Just look at what happened with toddlers, for example! That being said, I still think it’s a load of inclusive CAS stuff made by the community which is substantial IMO & desperately needed. I’d love it if they’ve managed to update all the BG hair textures! They are looking so incredibly sad nowadays!

I think they will redo some base game hair textures and add some new hairs as well, particularly afro and curly hair, and we could potentially have body hair or even a colour wheel if we’re lucky. Knowing the game, there’ll probably be a commemorative t-shirt too ?.

However, 21 CC creators seems like a lot for just CAS so there will probably be some new BB stuff as well - some likely ones based on popular CC packs are new kitchen and bathroom objects and some new clutter / decorations.

I’m hoping that, as it’s a fairly major anniversary, there will be some smaller new gameplay updates or one or two larger ones. The most likely ones I think could be added based on highly-requested features, surveys, and SimGurus hinting on Twitter, are:

• Babies
• Maybe some new foods / drinks
• Story progression for NPC households
• More traits and aspirations
• Favourites
