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.

That’s the one I was referring to my bad. Lol

Temp closing this to clean up the last few posts. Reopened.
Folks, if you want to discuss art that's cool but please remember that making it about religion or politics is against the rules. Religion and Politics are flamebaiting topics that are never conducted appropriately - to add, bringing them into discussions veer the conversations off-topic. This is unfair to people looking to talk about the topic of the thread. As for this thread, it offers a space to chat and speculate about what the upcoming content in the Maxis Monthly might or might not be about. Let's keep it on topic please.

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.

I think the ghosts, pools, and toddlers patches would need some voice work (if the ones for ghosts and pools weren't secretly hidden in the game files). Unless all the voice clips used by ghost and pool animations were recycled (which is possible, I guess). Toddlers would definitely need voice work though, because it's an entirely new life stage.

I do hope the update is big enough to warrant new voice work.

Fingers crossed for Katy Perry Sweet Treats 2.0.

I'd rather have Gaga. My sims need a meat dress. :D

I'd rather have Frankenstein then get Katy Perry Sweet Treats, no not again ever.

Wait and See because... I don't want to scream or to cry in advance lol.

what's special about October 2nd

I've watched some of the voice over clips posted by the actors and some of the acting sounds very "piratey", so it's possible we're getting some kind of Island, treasure hunting, swimming, Pirates of the Caribbean content. There was also some voice work that sounded like spellcasting and some that sounded like fairies. Some sounded like choking, maybe new deaths too. Some sounded more normal. It was quite an interesting variety that makes me think a lot of different things are coming. My guesses are just speculation, I don't know for sure if those are actually the things they were working on.

But I hope they are!

I think all voice works in the game by ghosts are just edited audio versions. It was discussed at the Sims Studio VR talk. After they started recording the voices, they will change it pitch, then adjust the voices for special NPC and events such as the Grim Reaper, Ghost, When Sim was wearing huge mascot costumes, etc.

It's probably gonna be about the free stuff that they're giving out.

Fast forward to Oct. 2nd-
