What if the "Big News" is they're bringing back cars or free'd babies?

That would certainly be worthy of all the hyping up.

This is exactly what I was thinking….. that they may be announcing free’d updated babies with clothes and furniture…..cribs, swings, playmats, strollers, baby slings, floor blankets, changing tables, etc.

And that they would also be announcing cars, for hobbies, a mechanic career, teaching teens to drive, and maybe even some lots like gas stations with minimarts and car washes.

I would also love to see them announce hotels and casinos, malls, and amusement parks.

If we're talking announcements of new content, I would love it if they introduced a music EP. Bands, singers, the whole lot. If they're introducing pack refreshes I would love for it to be either Dine Out or Get To Work. I have wanted live in businesses for forever. You mentioned hotels, if they could include those in a GTW refresh along with my idea and we could have a proper Bed & Breakfast. You could visit it or run it. You could even run your own hotel, though for me a B&B would be more fun to own.

I personally don't mind that the game is going free. The game is a few years old by now. Strange thing is that this bothers me less than the 20th birthday anniversary where the whole point of the perfect patio stuff pack was ruined by a free hot tub. At least this time they are honest about the game losing it's monetary value.

As for the kit we got. I appreciate the gesture but think a stuff pack or a game pack would have been more appropriate. Or give us a kit we could choose ourselves because this one is not the best in my humble opinion.

I'm not usually one for Sims 5 speculation, but the Sims 4 going free and a "special" sims event being announced at the same time, with a whole months notice and a "save the date"? I don't think they'd give this much notice if it was just a stream to talk about a roadmap and bugs..

It also says "Big The Sims Announcements", not "Big Sims 4 Announcements" and the new plumbob logo and branding...

With The Sims 4 going free to play, our team is more dedicated than ever to developing new and meaningful The Sims 4 experiences for our players and we will continue to develop and release packs, kits and Sims Delivery Express drops into the foreseeable future. We’ll be sharing more about what’s in the works during a special-edition stream, Behind The Sims Summit on October 18, 2022 at 10 am PDT via The Sims YouTube and Twitch channels, also available on demand!

Gosh, with the base game going free, does that mean I get a refund? Oh, that's right I got a free kit which normally only costs around five bucks. Whoop-di-do!

@GalacticGal do you think EA should offer everyone a full refund for the base game?

Not necessarily, but those of us who have stuck with EA, through thick and thin, deserve something more than a pittance. A token, such as they've handed out. I'm certainly glad I only purchased the Limited Edition, over the higher costing one.

I certainly would be more gratified, were they to, oh, I don't know, maybe fix a few things?

I do find it strange they've not done the whole merch overload for sims yet seeing how its with other games having merch everywhere

then again i don't particularily recall having that for any ea game for that matter

I didn’t even realize there was one. ?

In all that time I could’ve gotten myself a Sims 4 werebeast plushie. The kind that when you press its belly it would “Mark Territory” with the magnificent power of a Nerf SuperSoaker.

well it was mostly like t-shirts stickers prints kinda stuff in there so do not worry you did not miss any beastie plushies :lol:

but I never really order anything online (even less overseas) myself cause payment and shipping methods are just too much trouble and I hate trying to track lost packages

Ah! Well in that case there’s a good chance that they’ll upgrade the store!

I believe a new Sims merch store could very well start selling physical and most importantly, functional sims gameplay related products, mostly kits.

The Plasma Kit for example. The Plasma Kit is some sort of contraption in which you can place a frog (or any other small plasma rich organism but frogs work bests) and see what happens when you press the red button. Whatever comes out goes straight into a fancy juice box. No machinery will be harmed.
It is also likely that this shop will sell us functional death flower kits as well as shaving kits ( shaving kits include A GINORMOUS RAZOR) and one of the most profitable items in demand: The Inventory Pants. The Inventory Pants look ordinary on the outside, just like any tight, above the ankle pants, but are so advanced that one could store an entire shopping mall in its tiny, invisible back pocket.

I’m fairly positive that this store’s going to get more popular than the game itself, as long as they’re not trying to sell us faulty goods. ??

Inventory pants would be great for air travellers. You can carry the contents of your entire house, you can post Youtube or Tik Tok videos about light packing for air travel, and you could potentially become a viral sensation when those security guys from the airport ask you to empty your pockets. :lol: For this alone, I'd buy a pair in every shade available. :smiley:
