SimGuruKate said on twitter the 2nd there will be a livestream where she can mention what’s going on. She also mentioned free things in the upcoming patch and a paid content release by the end of the year

A CNN special??? How grand in scope is this update? Short of an overhaul of the game's core systems, it seems excessive. Not even toddlers got this treatment, and it was a highly requested feature and entirely new life stage.

They also dampened the hype for the gallery patch, so it would be strange for them to overhype now

It might be about creating the game in general, not just about the upcoming content. Voice work, concept artists, animators, etc. Maybe an interview with Lyndsay about how far the game has come from the early days. Inclusion in the Sims 4 such as the gender patch and the discussion of adding disabilities (though I think those would be better in a potential Sims 5 base game rather than shoehorning them in now). I hope there'll be plenty of notice for the CNN show.

I read the articles this time, and it seems like the titles are misleading. Danny is right. The special is on voice acting, and one of the actors said he can't wait for the patch to drop. So it's more like a regular BTS with one of the VAs hyping the next update. Which could be something big or not, depending on how excitable the actor is.

Although if you think about it, do you think the next content patch makes use of new voice acting and that's why he was excited? If it does, maybe it's a new feature? I imagine new clothes/objects or UI changes don't require any voice acting

I can't think of a patch that would need voice work. A pack, certainly, so the voice work could be for a pack releasing in time for the holiday shopping season.

Another question that arises is: Do we even have a table this long in the game like on the render below?

Yep that’s the base game mission style table. The Sims are posed around it in ways that aren’t replicable in-game, but that’s typical for promotional renderings.

That's art created by the art department, not a screen shot from the game. An artist created that painting.

I think it’s a mixture of both. They have a sim poser that they use to get the initial shot and then take the image into photoshop and do touch ups and some edits for things like facial expressions, shadows, mesh distortions, etc.

I think it's the Mega Mega Table -- can seat 8 Sims unlike the Mega Table that only seats 6.

EA's not the first nor the last to parody DaVinci's iconic painting -- go to Google Images and enter Last Supper parody in the search box. LIke this one from The Simpsons:

I agree that there are many parodies, but is that really one? Neither the amount of "people" nor the poses fit. To me it just looks like 9 characters sitting around a bar and drinking tbh :#

Yay! Looking forward to the news!
