When do you think they’ll release the next stuff pack?

    If we vote for knitting, we might get Elder Stuff


    Imagine all the craft based outfits for cas, like knitted sweaters, and scarfs as accessories...


    That'll all depend on the art style vote... For laundry day it was between a modern style and the country style we got.

    They just announced a new community voted Stuff Pack on Maxis Monthly!

    Last time it took them 9 months to release the SP after the first vote, so with a similar schedule it means the SP would be released around August 2020.

    Sorry to those who chose "Moschino Stuff was the last stuff pack". You're already wrong :D

    My vote for more of a hopeful wish seeing the voting options I still wish it was true.

    Oh I know, I'm just being hopeful :-)
  • Seeing as they release packs within a month after the announcement but since their working on it with the community, the new pack being voted on should have a title by April...then they’ll have to send that info to the higher ups and to retail vendors to prepare...hm maybe May or June?

    I think this stuff pack might take less time to complete than the first community pack. The final vote is in April, and I don't believe it'll take an additional 4-5 months to finish. We'll see.

    *ETA: I guess the first community pack took longer than I remembered? Oh, well. My favorites appear to be the most popular so I'll be happy with whichever pack we get. And hopefully they'll still consider making the pack that comes in 2nd place.

    I am really hoping for more activities elders can do once they retire, and I have been hoping for scarf accessories for a long time too, so this outcome would be great. I always wanted the sewing machine from Sims 2 back because I loved making retail businesses with it, and designing the customised outfits when the sim is the top level, but knitting would be almost as good as an updated version of that :) And of course, it wouldn't just be for elders anyway, because lots of people like crafty things IRL, and it would fit especially well with historical settings, low tech or self-sufficient scenarios.

    I think the pack will come out in June or July 2020.

  • I think it is going to come down to a decision between Arts and Crafts and the scientific one, due to the ordinary sized microscope and telescope offered. That might be no bad thing as I think there is enough scope for Hobbies to be a GP which could incorporate much more of the Arts and Crafts options.

    Time will tell. And mid-2020 as a date for release, I think.
  • Tiny Living is releasing on the 21st! Congrats on those who guessed it correctly!

    Fiscal year 2020 now has 2 SP releases. I wonder if they’ll continue to release 2 SPs per fiscal year in the future, similar to how they used to release 4 SPs.

    FY2015: 0 SPs
    FY2016: 6 SPs (but we know both Luxury Party and Spooky Stuff were originally planned for FY2015)
    FY2017: 4 SPs
    FY2018: 4 SPs
    FY2019: 0 SPs
    FY2020: 2 SPs

    This could also mean we’re getting 2 EPs, 2 GPs, and 2 SPs every fiscal year (if we’re getting a new game pack in February or March like people have speculated).
