Thinking of it - you who want sci-fi pack - don't get disappointed tomorrow! Would be better if Star Wars is saved for the next EP and not this GP, right?

No. Because a Star Wars pack should be something Niche and not fundamentally changing the systems in the game - like all the game packs. A Star Wars EP would either be little more than a more extensive GP (like Island Living) or do something that changed the game substantially in a way that's likely to upset the reality players (making aliens base game, perhaps?)

Now, if it's not Star Wars, I'm not going to get upset and rant like people did with the Farming hoax. I'm okay with it being generic Sci-Fi, or something completely different. Not sure what else it could be with that icon, but even so. I can live with it. I will be disappointed for a moment, but not angry.

I don't need a huge Sci Fi world. 5-7 lots is fine. Would I want more? Sure. 11 lots like Jungle Adventure would be awesome. But I don't need to be able to visit Coruscant, or Kysshykk, or Dagobah, or Jakku, or Tattoinne (I know I mispelled some of those). Battu and Black Spire Outpost are enough. I don't need a Force user life state. I'd honestly sooner have Werewolves or even Pretty Pixies (Sorry, they're not Fae enough for my tastes to call them Faeries.) But if it comes with a force user life state, I'll enjoy playing with one. Haven't played a force user in over 20 years, and maybe it's time to revisit it.

I don't need it to be EP sized, and I think that might be overkill.

Looks like i was right with my guess. Speculation skills on point.

Tomorrow.

Today we finally get to see what the icon really looks like.

Can we please have like a winning Poll winners like a forum badge or something? That Would be grade imo hahaha

They'll most definitely announce it at gamescon, which runs from Thursday, 27 August to Sunday, 30 August 2020. Possibly some other things will be announced there aswell.

They have a history with announcing things then and they're part of it every single year. Sims 4 was announced 7 years ago at gamescon

It can't really be announced any later as they always have around 3 weeks between announcement and release, any later and the release will be after the release roadmap which ends at the start of October.

And voila!

Anyone know what time the sims' slot specifically is expected to be? All it says on the announcement is when the event starts and I'm guessing it's not gonna be the very first thing

You can bet it’ll be one of the last presentations, just to keep us all hanging on as long as possible...

UGH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HARD PASS

You know they would have been better off making an actual SPACE PACK not freaking star wars with sims playing with lightsabers OMG NO!!!! WHY?!?!?! a whole game pack UGH!!!

Oh look, they gave us another bar! Imagine that!
