Wonder what it could be?! : http://simscommunity.info/2018/08/17/the-sims-4-is-getting-a-mysterious-new-feature-soon/

Cool. I wouldn't speculate too much about it though, don't want to hype it too much.

I hope it's stairs! They have been talking a lot about them in their tweets. I would love some different types of stairs for building.

I really wish they wouldn’t do this. They claim they want to be more transparent and open and honest with fans but yet they persist on teasing with vague statements. It’s the online equivalent of putting a few cats among the pigeons and watching the feathers fly. Once the hype train starts rolling full steam ahead, they are then quick to put the breaks on it by saying: “But don’t get hyped!” I mean come on, with that referenced tweet, what do they expect? They certainly don’t want people reading it and going: “meh” It’s a rather bizarre communication strategy. Talk of the game is becoming a focus rather than the game itself. They can’t have it both ways. Be open and transparent like many other game companies are with future content or say nothing until you can reveal. Because they cannot complain when fans get upset with their current strategy of communication. Practise what you preach.

I really don't want to get too hyped for this one; it happens all too often that after what seems to be a great content patch comes the not-so-great ones after it. They aren't even very specific about it either; it could be literally anything. It also seems like they're focusing more on giving us free content while we're waiting on the next pack for purchase.

We are getting a new feature in "NEAR FUTURE"!

I would like to say it would be swimming in bodies of water but that was ruled out long ago though if we get a beach vacation world I'm sure sims will be able to swim in the ocean.

More likely though is create a world or story progression. If it's the latter though I hope it has the same options to control SP like Twallen's Mod in TS3.

Create a world tool would be nice..but if they add story progression I hope its optional, i don't want to see my households I played getting married/divorced or having kids without my permission
The "small" story progression we have ingame is already kinda annoying, I dont want to play a different household then go back to old household and finding them at a nightclub, like sometimes this ruin stories..

I'm hoping it's the ability to sent individual bank accounts to sims, or an attraction system like Sims 2 had.

It just feels like the studio is so missmanaged and that they have no clue what they're really doing. I am not hyped and won't be because I have learned that this studio is running out of passion and that is never good.

Hmm. I actually feel like now they have people who are passionate about and enjoy the sims and want to continue releasing things that make it more fun and put a stop to the path they were on. We just need to give them the time needed to get things cruising in the right direction since the team is so small.

This mentioned “feature” might not be a game changer on its own but I bet it’s a move in the right direction.

With absolutely zero information on said feature I don’t see how you can reach that conclusion. For all we know this “feature” could be another trivial inclusion.

Also the people working on the game now, are mostly the same people who have been working on it for years. If they weren’t passionate about it for the last 4 years, then why would that all of a sudden change? If they were passionate about the game they would make it the best it could possibly be, which they have not so far and more than likely will not in the future with their teams being even smaller and more underfunded than before.

Their should be milestones in a sim life, for example a sim can have 3 birthdays before aging up. I hope that's the feature their adding in.
