So if EP 7 does turn out to have a tropical island theme, what are you hoping to see included?Things I'd like to see: Swimmable oceans and assorted water activities (snorkeling, water games, surfing maybe) Sun loungers and the ability to tan in them or on a beach towel (I'd also love if they could nap on the beach towel) Seashell collection New harvestables and recipes (Pineapple, mango, coconuts) More stuff for pools (floaties, diving board, water games) A nice assortment of hot weather and swimsuit CAS assets for all ages Hotels would be fun but I can see them saving this for a game pack I'd love for there to be an underwater lot you could explore by scuba diving Mermaids in said underwater lot Island culture and hula dance (Maybe as a new location aspiration) New traits (Chill, Water Lover) and aspirations (Island Culture, Beach Bum) An old fortress turned into a tourist site with food and souvenir stands A lone island with a single lot so that you can have a private island home A waterfall you can woohoo behind (like the lighthouse in Cats&Dogs) A lagoon that glows at night A natural looking hotspring hottub Hammocks ShuffleboardAlso, they always tend to mix it up so as not to be an exact repeat of past packs. So I'm half expecting a unique twist to the tropical theme. Could be they center it around romance or something nobody's expecting. Any thoughts?

Personally I'd rather hope that the rumour is false. This is not because I would not want a tropical themed pack, especially with what you have described, but because I would much rather have a university based pack at this point.

Houseboats are my favorite thing from TS3: Island Paradise. I’d be disappointed if they don’t make a return in TS4.

I am sick of Granite Falls and Selvadorada already even though my sims never go on vacation. I mean Granite Falls is ok because its family oriented. Selvadorada doesn't seem like a place to have kids with you.

I suppose they could give you a base to build on and it would just permanently be parked by the dock.

Also, they know we want mermaids. It was the second most requested occult in their poll besides witches. (I was surprised honestly, I thought it'd be Werewolves).

This is the perfect time to add mermaids, but they like to leave occults out of expansions lately.

*Puts on tinfoil hat* My theory about that is that they rigged mermaids to rank super high because they were already adding them in this EP before they even released the poll and wanted to be able to turn around and say to the community "See, we listened to what you wanted and gave it to you!" But hey, that's just a theory, a CONSPIRACY theory! *X files theme plays in the distance*

In all seriousness though, I love mermaids and really want them to appear! I'm less surprised by their popularity, as I think they are an occult lifestate with a very specific and niche theme: oceans! It involves things others can't do, like diving, etc. I also think that while a lot of people were disappointed with TS3 mermaids, they like the idea of what they could be!

I really don't understand the perspective that they don't have as much to them as Vampires do and thus couldn't be fleshed out as much. There is SO much folklore and pop culture references that they could capitalize on about Merfolk! For starters, they are the only occult that can live underwater!!! You could have a whole thing about a sunken Atlantis mer-city they can dive and explore (and even a sunken lot you can build and live on if you're a mersim). You can have evil sirens that entrance by singing and drown people, mersims that control water, or grow fins when wet. I mean, we have Disney mermaids and dark mermaids and pirate mermaids and so much in between. I could totally see them doing the same thing to mermaids as they do to vampires, adding branching paths and different weakness and abilities to really customize them.

3 retail leaks make it likely.

Love number games :smile: what do you mean by one number is days, one is events and the other is a hint?

I should have included this reply too :# https://twitter.com/SimGuruLyndsay/status/1130887034120286208
