Things I'd like to see in a Romance pack: - A few more interactions - SLOW DANCING - An attraction system no matter how basic (this would be a great base game update pre-pack) - Bachelor/Bachelorette parties - Actual Honey Moons - Multiple sims can make a toast (I believe only 2 sims can make a toast right now) I wanna keep the wishlist small since it IS a game pack, but I'm sure others can think of a lot of other awesome features that would make me go "aww I want that too!"
In addition, bringing back the restaurant proposal would be fire. As well as having family and best friends react to proposals and/or having a real announce engagement option. (I have this on my PC with mods, but not console. Most of my favorite sims are on my console game because I got it first, which sucks.) And something still needs to be done about introducing bf/gf to your sims parents. I mean, come on. It's overdue and happens in real life all the time. (Not to me, but other people, lol. #loser)
@@miniwolfsbane2407 Oh yes! I propose at the restaurant ALL the time. It would be nice to have the option to put the ring on the table like in TS2. And also have everyone else react to it. I mean, come on! Sims react to a passionate kiss in public, but not to a marriage proposal?? I was furious when I noticed that!
I'm actually really glad it's a game pack. I'm excited for a potential wedding themed pack. I was also thinking the surprise could be an attraction system! Here's hoping lol
When it comes to the existing romance interactions I feel like many of them (particularly kisses) are either really over the top or rather bland. Like you get either a big dip kiss or kind of a meh peck. Anyway, I’d like so see some more variety in the romance animations somewhere in that middle range.
I love the idea of more romantic interactions, but there are still core issues that will result in any game pack receive mixed reviews like all prior ones, like Sims freezing in their action queues, doing stupid things like randomly doing push-ups, or being unable to go on dates because townies will constantly butt in on conversations.
Sims games have always come with their number of bugs and issues we’d never have much additional content if the focused all of their time into constantly fixing said small bugs which with updates and additional content only come back and have to be fixed again
Oh my god this is so exciting! Erin the queen of predictions 😆 I'm really excited for this game pack now I'd love new party/events to hold with my sims! On another note maybe it's just me but I'm REALLY happy about free global foods :3
Yeah I was in such a rush I didn't think about it much, but it's cool to see them collab again too :). I wonder if any of those are meant to complement the game pack
Still think it would be useful to have the whole wedding experience. 1) Ask for permission (With funny interactions) 2) Engagement party 3) Say yes to the dress 4) Boys weekend, girls spa weekend 5) pre wedding dinner 6) Wedding planner ( New job), many different set ups
If you look at the confetti in the back, there are masks, wings of Some sort and wedding cakes & rings. Could it be hinting at a luxury party stuff pack redo too? The game pack will def be wedding themed or atleast something to do with that, maybe a new lot type? (Churches?) Im excited to see What they’re going to do!
I noticed that too! There's a tiger as well. Chinese/ Lunar New Year is Feb. 1, and this year is the Year of the Tiger. The mask could hint at something for Mardi Gras, which is March 1. I'm stumped at the wing and the peacock.
"A gift of community collaborations" probably means we're getting a few CC items in a free update, like last year. That went down very well with the community (and probably saved Maxis a bunch of time and money), so I won't be surprised if the repeat it in some form.
Game building mechanics tend to come to us through GPs and EPs, so I could see the love-themed GP bringing an attraction system to the base game, with some pack-specific features. As great as it is that more cultural food is being brought in, the pie menu is sooo full of things and only a handful of foods impact your Sim beyond filling their hunger meter. It’d be great if they bundled/sorted them culturally and had various foods act like the foods in City Living in giving your Sim different moodlets or buffs, also like the fruitcake or turkey!
I'd love to see bachelor/bachelorette parties as well as bridal parties! I remember enjoying them in The Sims 3. I'd also like to see something for teenagers. There isn't a lot of variation between dating as a teenager and dating as a young adult. It would be neat to see some "teen only" romance ideas. Or maybe the concept of "childhood crushes" for children... though it may just work better in the teen cycle. I'd like to see more wedding CAS and build/buy, but I feel like that would be included in a kit, which doesn't excite me at all lol
This year is the year of the Tiger so I'm assuming that's related to Lunar New year and why there are tiger cutouts here. That would be something cool to add into the world since they're also talking about including more global elements.
Besides an attraction system. I'd love arranged marriages where sims have to impress their in-laws. Prenups were other sims can take the house, pets, business. More impact for cheating or divorce. More romantic interactions (obviously slow dancing). A dating app where sims can be catfished. A wedding planner career. Bride/groomzilla trait. More impact for calling of the wedding. The option for other sims to stop/crash a wedding. More dating options for teens. First crush for kids. More relationship options. So much potential.

Oh! You guessed it ! I'm very impressed, EA is usually so unpredictable that i never even try to guess what future packs could be about. They also usually like to fuze two(or more) simmers requests to one Expansion packs per example, so it makes it harder to guess.. i really hope this game pack will be good because it could be one that i would buy!
They are in some ways, and in some ways not. Aside from Batu, almost all packs we've gotten (game pack and larger) have appeared in surveys. How they package them and when they come out of course is trickier
Yay! A wedding pack! Imagine how great if would be, if it included more than one wedding culture. Like, five wedding themes - one from every continent. There could be a Slavic themed wedding, Scottish, Indian, Chinese, Arabian, Ethiopian...There are still sooo many cultures that are not represented in the game at all or very minimal and this is such a great opportunity to be inclusive. There can introduce new musical instruments, dancing styles, foods, traditions...This topic has such a potential!
I'm already pumped! I always get excited for new packs! I'm happy that your prediction was right, I feel like they must be planning to add an attraction system to go with this game pack! I really don't mind the kits and I'm excited to see what they have in store for those but I know the community will probably not be too happy about that, which I get. But if they give us an attraction system and better weddings / more events, I think this could be a step in the right direction to kick off 2022!!
Like Zendaya said in No Way Home, if you never get excited, you can't get disappointed. Lol I'm beyond the point of having high expectations for anything published by EA at this point. 😅 But great video as always!!
I hope this gamepack has an attraction system, and brings some of the TS2 Nightlife themes (like getting ready & wearing perfume/cologne, gifts, cars, contacts, & turn ons/offs etc. would be cool if werewolves came with it but I'm not picky - so long as they make it to the game at some point I'll be cool) and isn't just primarily about 'event challenges' (since we already HAVE those, and they can, and should be expanded upon with BG updates for those of us that DON'T have $20 to spend to increase the playability of a $64 game)... I'm seeing mardi gras themes in the background and this makes me suspect March is going to be a closer estimate for the release. Fierce design makes me nervous although some kits I was actually kind of pleased with, so I'm open to it.
I'm looking at the confetti shapes, and reading more into it that there actually is. but i notice a tiger stretching and a mardi gras type mask. wonder if those have anything to do with the "fierce" design. Im wondering if we will get bachelor/ette parties or wedding showers. I'm still hoping for a long shot at Bed and breakfasts.
Can't wait for the community collabs and global foods! This alwats makes me happy, but the REALLY need to make a recipe book so that we can keep track of what recipes we've learned around town or in Selvadorada!
my worry with Maxis doing an attraction system is that it would most likely be half-assed like most gameplay features. and probably wouldn't get anywhere close to either version of WW which has been in development for ages now. so in my mind, that would be a waste of effort.
@@SimmerErin I forgot about the console people. it's not like they could do a creator collab like they did for some of the CC. could you imagine Maxis doing a collab with Turbo to bring Wonderfull Whims into Sims 4. but my point stands noting Maxis could make would be anywhere as good as WW. while at the same time having a big potential to massively sabotage it. one of my biggest issues with this game is that they never spend enough time on anything because they have to push out the next pack. it happens every time they announce a new pack with some coll sounding new gameplay only for it to be underwhelming, buggy, half-finished.
Looking at the designs mixed among the confetti, people are noticing wedding rings, wedding cakes, tigers and peacocks. This all together gives a very strong Indian wedding vibe, since they often have those LUDICROUSLY expensive and expansive wedding in that country. It would be a good fit, and could give a nice little world to add.
I am actually convinced that one of the kits would be Chinese inspired because of the tiger symbols (2022 is the year of tiger after all) and I am super excited for more community collaborations! Maybe we'd get them on the 22nd anniversary of the sims or even through the SDX but either way I am still hyped!
Way to go on your prediction! 👍😉 As someone who does not buy kits, I am starving for a new game or expansion pack, so excited to hear more. Have a great week! 💗🤗💗
The confetti has hints. 1: wedding cakes 2: wedding rings. Than there are the less obvious ones such as the mask (maybe a masquerade party? That could be super fun!) and the Chinese New Years tiger… a hint to an China inspired travel destination or maybe a hint to a Chinese New Years stuff coming?
I like the idea for this game pack. In trying to think what they could put in a game pack, I could see them having a party planner career, new "love" related parties (which I would like to be things like engagement parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, wedding showers, etc.), an attraction system, online dating, new clothes for weddings, and more items that can be used at said parties and weddings. It would also be lovely if they gave us a new "world" in a non-USA/European setting where you could have parties, go shopping and vacation/honeymoon. It's so much fun to let the imagination go wild but it will be interesting to see what they actually put in it.
Torn if they will do a new world or not. In some ways, unpopular as it is, idk I care if we get a new world because I so much want the gameplay to be solid. I think I saw a lot of people guessing a wedding planner career, and I could honestly see them doing something like that
@@SimmerErin From what I've seen, the team that makes worlds/sims/houses is different from the one that works on gameplay. They're all part of the "pack" team but in different parts of it. That usually means that they're on different budgets. So, having a world is not going to decrease the likelihood of having good gameplay. I think we could have both.
I would love a romance pack 🥰 let me live vicariously through my sims at last lol! I would love to have better weddings, engagement parties, the ability to propose at dinner like in sims 2 etc, and baby showers! The option to show baby to another sim has been broken in my game for years.
An attraction system of some kind is definitely plausible. As for the kits, I'm definitely with you there and say "Meh!" Valentines Day release is definitely plausible too.
there are two surprises list, so idk what those are, but I'd imagine if they ever updated babies it would be alongside content that would benefit directly
Some of the things I plan to do in my game might be harder with an attraction system so I have to hope that it can either be set by the player or turned off.
I’m enjoying how the comments on your videos are Way more positive than other peoples. I know people are sick of kits but do people still expect packs are made right before they come out? With the pandemic kits were probably the easiest way to keep productivity while they were trying to fix quality of life and do the spa day refresh. Here’s to hoping luxury party, romantic garden, and or vintage glamour get a refresh
oh really ha? Normally I get negative ones but I appreciate today isn't that day I alas don't think stuff packs will get a refresh. We never voted on stuff packs getting a refresh but we did vote on gp and ep
Should be interesting to see what they do and if it lives up to the standards of what everyone wants from a game pack centered around love or relationships
I was hoping it was going to be an EP so we'd get a bigger world with it lol Still exciting I hope we'll finally get the missing romance features. I think there's still some things they need while cuddling in bed too.
@@trillijuanaplays yeah but I think I have an idea of what the theme for the world might be and I really want it to be a bigger world not a small one with five lots lol
Well it sounds like it is 3 months for all this content. I am not sure.. we could look at past years and make an estimate but the pandemic makes things wacky. i think a kit is up first but I could be wrong. New world? Most game packs do, but two didn't so again not sure ha
I'll definitely would be interested in this pack I just got the romances gardens last night never had it and I was glad that I got it since it was on sale and I'm definitely looking forward for this we do need more romance stuff and all that
If they have an attraction system with gender preferences and something similar to TS2’s turn ons/offs. I’d be alright with it, but I’ll wait to see if it’s anything good.
You can already set gender preferences, it's in the same menu as the other gender specificities in CAS. By default all sims are cisgender pansexual but you can set them to be attracted to male, females or both (mabe neither too, I can't recall). In the same menu you can determine wether they pee sitting or standing and wether they can get pregnant, make others pregnant or neither, independtly of wether their body looks male or female.
I'm interested to see what the pack will be, hopefully more than just wedding planning as people are predicting. Other love parties could be prom/dances? Bachelor/Bachorlette parties? Anniversary parties? And hopefully an attraction system will be added to base game. Not excited for kits. I'm trying to guess what they will be based on the fact that most of them are things I'm not interested in, but the word "fierce" makes me think jungle themed and lots of animal print. Probably not. What's popular style for home design on tiktok? That's probably where to find the clues.
I’m hoping this means an expansion like generations, the bachelor/ette parties like sims 3. I’ve noticed in the newest update/delivery they’ve put new objects with the word tradition…
Idk if somebody already pointed this, but in the picture you can see a wedding cake, a pair of rings, a mask, a peacok and a tiger among the confetti. Could that be a hint about a zodiac-sign-based attraction system? Just a thought...
I really hope that if nothing else they make sims SIT at the wedding! Guests are always ruining my screenshots. Obviously they wouldn't include all these things but I have so many ideas for this packing. * I want to choose roles like wedding party or maybe even have an officiant. * I NEED more wedding outfits, dresses for all ages, suits/tuxes as well. *I want an actual wedding venue lot type that you can select. And for the wedding to cost more/less depending on where you have it. *I want better engagements, ring shopping, more ring options *I want to be able to plan a honeymoon rather than just a vacation. *I want online dating, blind dates, hookup calls, basically the Simda mod in the actual game I request a lot joy but hopefully at least we see some of this, if we got all of this I would absolutely die.
I’m not excited but I’m curious to see everything unveiled. The last few things may not have completely won me over but I do like the direction and changes to the game. I have no major complaints and that’s surprising lol. So I’m curious. Also Erin, your psychic ability is just chefs kiss. 😂 congrats on almost reaching 40k, you’re doing amazing at your pace.
I'm hoping that the attraction system is similiar to or even better than Wicked/Wonderful Whims. The mod itself already has a great attraction system, the only problem is with tagging items with the correct tags. Sometimes they don't notice it at all or sometimes it is tagged incorrectly. Had a sim with am extremely obvious beard but the game thought it was a goatee 😭. Bringing the attraction system to the base game would mean re tagging every single item and making it a requirements, which, now that I think about it, feels like it would be game breaking...
I love the idea of a "Hot Date" Game Pack but that not only enhances love relationships but all relationships, those of friends, that of co-workers, that of family members, etc. But that is not all happy as in a world of lollipops, there must also be enemies or simply people who are not to your liking when you see them.
If you look at the confetti in the image, there are wedding cakes and wedding rings so I'm definitely thinking it's a wedding game pack. There are also masks, tigers, and peacocks so maybe those are hints for the kits
I know most people are probably thinking it will be a wedding-themed pack...but since you can already throw weddings in-game maybe it will be prom or school dance-related since that could also bring about slow-dancing and more story-telling options for teens which are all things many in the community have been asking for! Edit: After taking a closer look at the roadmap they posted (seeing a wedding cake and rings in the confetti) it could actually be more likely that it would be bachelor/bachelorette party-themed instead of school dance-themed, which would also be really cool!
Just my two cents, but what if the game pack introduces wedding planer job? Like how the Dream Home Decorator brought the house decorator job and the likes dislikes system. This would bring the wedding planer job, plus the zodiac system and the attraction system.
I wonder if we're getting anything like a masked ball themed kit etc. There's confetti the shape of wings and masks (like a theater mask or a masked ball mask, not a surgical mask xD). I don't think the sims team ever does anything random and I don't believe in coinsidences when it comes to sims announcements
Hoping for a Cupid job where you play matchmaker. Also hoping for a refresh of current occults (plant sims, vampires, and mermaids) and that they start to introduce more occult sims this year.
When it comes with your comment about game versus expansion packs, I guess you are right because expansion packs usually have higher discounts on Origin. Although I am not excited about a romance game pack, I celebrate EA is listening to their customers and hope the incoming features will be worth the cost. Personally, I don't imagine which content about romantic stuff will be worth 20 dollars/euros minus if it is going to include a new world and the free kisses day to all the Sims in the park like in Sims 3. I speculate about a French (Paris?) or Italian (Venice, La Toscana?) inspired worlds.
Of those worlds (if it comes with a world) my best guess would be Italian Vineyards, since that was an option in the survey. they had french countryside too
I've literally wanted a wedding and a nursery pack for so long like bouquets ,veils,cribs,maybe changing tables and rocking chairs and ik people are gonna say cc but I play on console
Am excited 😊 . Still wish it was expansion pack. Not a game pack.But, this is still good news. And am glad to see the season road map. And sounds like their a little more clear this time around. I would be very happy. If each season gave us a expansion or game pack. And one to two kits or stuff packs. But, I don't care about kits and stuff packs in the same. And rather have stuff pack over the kit.
I do think it would be centered around wedding theme, and we're probably getting wedding planner career, i don't think we'll get honeymoon tho. Honestly, i think they're setting up for Generation Packs theme, and, unrelated, i wish we get more vacations pack(s) on the way as well, an actual luxurious/relaxation vacation spot and not jungle, forest, or mountain.
Fingers crossed that this brings some new romance interactions as a base game update and that the pack itself comes with a new world and more complex gameplay so it doesn't feel like an upgraded stuff pack!
@@SimmerErin same I'm always excited for free stuff, I'm not the simmer that purchases each pack and I'm not sure if this one will be one of my future packs, but I still wish that those who were looking forward to this get a pack that justifies the price.
@@SimmerErin So they wouldn't do highly specific fashion kit only for men :) And they'd pick some better looking CC, the one we got to the game is one of the bad looking ones (like the crop top has really weird texture and edges etc.
I’m kinda worried if the game pack is going to feel like a game pack or like a stuff pack. But I believe it’s going to coke with a world, unless they expect us to place down the lots that they said would come with this pack. I hope not, I don’t see too much you can do with this pack, at least if it doesn’t have a new world. Doesn’t have to be big, but something. Also they said something about Honeymoons so I assume we’re probably going to get some honeymoon places, probably in the new world (if we get some) unlikely we’d see actual houses. Would be cool if we got some tho.
See Erin being besties with Andrew Wilson pays off, knowing about the romance pack before it was announced 😂😂! ( I am totally kidding! Erin is NOT best friends with Andrew Wilson and DOES NOT get early insight into any of the content surrounding the sims.) If there is no base game update that involves an actual attraction system overhaul then I am not sure if I will be getting this pack. It would have to have very well done gameplay for me to purchase it. While I am not a fan of kits I hope that one of the kits is a gameplay one. I feel like if they aren’t confident with gameplay kits then they should just be transparent about it.
The decals on the image are interesting: a wedding cake, wedding rings, a masque, a tiger, a peacock. What could that mean? I really hope the wedding/love themed pack will include some cultural diversity too, and not just white dresses and tuxedo. It would be cool if it would be linked to India with extravagant clothes and matchmaking possibilities and if also modest dresses would be included for Muslim Sims.
Hmmm I'm gonna go wicked here and say love hotel!!! lol I really want hotels at some point in this game sigh but "throws a party for love" it really throws me off, not too sure what it could be. But yup attraction systems and more type love relationships would be appreciated.
@@SimmerErin if only tho we could use a new destination world with a different culture. Snowy escape feels like such a let down and Salvadorada is too specific to jungle adventures(which I still have yet to play though)😂
Sorry for the video not being up to my usual standards. I'd love to do a follow up when I get a chance!
You are doing great honestly. I watch all your videos..
@@bawilove3422 I second this!!
Personally, I don't mind about video quality when it is sims 4 news as you release updates so quickly!
Things I'd like to see in a Romance pack:
- A few more interactions
- SLOW DANCING
- An attraction system no matter how basic (this would be a great base game update pre-pack)
- Bachelor/Bachelorette parties
- Actual Honey Moons

Yeah me too. There are a lot of things I'd like them to see, but you're right... it's one extreme or the other
Bit of a stretch but maybe they’ll add hotels for like honeymoon. Or maybe I can finally make boyfriend/girlfriend in CAS that would be nice
That would be great
It sounds fun! Tbh I dont' expect it in a game pack but you never know
Yes. They need the options in CAS other than just roommate or spouse.
@@SimmerErin lol I don’t either but it’s nice to dream

As great as it is that more cultural food is being brought in, the pie menu is sooo full of things and only a handful of foods impact your Sim beyond filling their hunger meter.

Yay! A wedding pack! Imagine how great if would be, if it included more than one wedding culture. Like, five wedding themes - one from every continent. There could be a Slavic themed wedding, Scottish, Indian, Chinese, Arabian, Ethiopian...There are still sooo many cultures that are not represented in the game at all or very minimal and this is such a great opportunity to be inclusive. There can introduce new musical instruments, dancing styles, foods, traditions...This topic has such a potential!
That'd be so cool IF they can pull it off. the one survey did mention cultural diverse so maybe
Erin is psychic confirmed???
LOL a good guesser maybe. And I try my best to piece clues together
How exciting!!! I can’t wait to hear more about this! I’m also guessing around Valentine’s Day. Makes perfect sense
More kits? ughhh. Anyway, I hope the game pack is gonna be good. Would love more meaningful romance in the sims.
I won't lie I was so excited until the word kits
I am very much hoping for updates with it. I truly think an attraction system is needed
I'm already pumped! I always get excited for new packs! I'm happy that your prediction was right, I feel like they must be planning to add an attraction system to go with this game pack! I really don't mind the kits and I'm excited to see what they have in store for those but I know the community will probably not be too happy about that, which I get. But if they give us an attraction system and better weddings / more events, I think this could be a step in the right direction to kick off 2022!!
while I don't love kits I see no reason to any longer be
upset about them-- perhaps they are why we are getting more updates?
yes! I hope so
Like Zendaya said in No Way Home, if you never get excited, you can't get disappointed. Lol I'm beyond the point of having high expectations for anything published by EA at this point. 😅 But great video as always!!
I disagree. There are games from plenty of companies (ea is one of them) where you can have zero expectations and still get horribly disappointed.
@@CarloxForever That's not disagreeing with me, but thanks. 😬
Fair enough :). It's not good to over hype either
I hope this gamepack has an attraction system, and brings some of the TS2 Nightlife themes (like getting ready & wearing perfume/cologne, gifts, cars, contacts, & turn ons/offs etc. would be cool if werewolves came with it but I'm not picky - so long as they make it to the game at some point I'll be cool) and isn't just primarily about 'event challenges' (since we already HAVE those, and they can, and should be expanded upon with BG updates for those of us that DON'T have $20 to spend to increase the playability of a $64 game)... I'm seeing mardi gras themes in the background and this makes me suspect March is going to be a closer estimate for the release. Fierce design makes me nervous although some kits I was actually kind of pleased with, so I'm open to it.
I hope it does too... but as a base game update for the attraction system
Nightlife was iconic!
haven’t even watched the video yet but I have to say when I saw the news I got SO excited for you cause you literally just predicted a romance pack!!
ha I guess I get lucky sometimes. I do my best
Heck yeah! You were right! I can’t believe this announcement came out so soon after your latest romance pack prediction!
Ha yeah tbh I didn't expect it to be quite that soon
Nailed it Erin! Great job😁 I’m cautiously optimistic about this pack. Can’t wait to see what it’s gonna feature.
Thanks for the news.
Also, when you said "CAS Kits", at first I thought you said "caskets."
I always hear that in my own ears and I can't unhear it. ha I hate saying it
@@SimmerErin maybe that says something of what you think of those Kits: get rid if them, bury them. Haha.
I hope they’ll patch in a functional chemistry/attraction system along with it and YES, Slow Dancing please
Just made a whole video about your first point lol
@@SimmerErin yes, I posted the comment as soon as the video started 🤣🤣🤣
Props on getting it right also the confetti is hints if you want to theorize on that.
Well.. it seems we just had a leak that may tie to the confetti
I'm looking at the confetti shapes, and reading more into it that there actually is. but i notice a tiger stretching and a mardi gras type mask. wonder if those have anything to do with the "fierce" design. Im wondering if we will get bachelor/ette parties or wedding showers. I'm still hoping for a long shot at Bed and breakfasts.
I think bachelor/ette parties are likely due to the past surveys, not sure about weeding showers
Can't wait for the community collabs and global foods! This alwats makes me happy, but the REALLY need to make a recipe book so that we can keep track of what recipes we've learned around town or in Selvadorada!
That's a great point. That would be very useful
my worry with Maxis doing an attraction system is that it would most likely be half-assed like most gameplay features. and probably wouldn't get anywhere close to either version of WW which has been in development for ages now. so in my mind, that would be a waste of effort.
What about everyone who can't use mods?
@@SimmerErin I forgot about the console people. it's not like they could do a creator collab like they did for some of the CC. could you imagine Maxis doing a collab with Turbo to bring Wonderfull Whims into Sims 4. but my point stands noting Maxis could make would be anywhere as good as WW. while at the same time having a big potential to massively sabotage it. one of my biggest issues with this game is that they never spend enough time on anything because they have to push out the next pack. it happens every time they announce a new pack with some coll sounding new gameplay only for it to be underwhelming, buggy, half-finished.
This is some great news to first wake up to. Love your vids Erin ❤️
Yay! Thank you!
Looking at the designs mixed among the confetti, people are noticing wedding rings, wedding cakes, tigers and peacocks. This all together gives a very strong Indian wedding vibe, since they often have those LUDICROUSLY expensive and expansive wedding in that country. It would be a good fit, and could give a nice little world to add.
…and wouldn’t be the first time a kit was alternate content for an upcoming pack
@@bookcat123 What kit are you talking about?
@@robertgronewold3326 country kitchen -> cottage living; fashion street -> Indian weddings
Yes I am sorry I didn't have time to examine it. I think that is not a bad guess , unless they are hints for the kits
@@bookcat123 I had totally forgotten that Fashion Street was a thing at all.
I am actually convinced that one of the kits would be Chinese inspired because of the tiger symbols (2022 is the year of tiger after all) and I am super excited for more community collaborations! Maybe we'd get them on the 22nd anniversary of the sims or even through the SDX but either way I am still hyped!
Oh, yes it very well could be for the 22nd anniversary, that would be my best guess
I hope they focus on other areas of the world next. There's a lack of other cultures.
I’ve noticed that there are icons mixed with the confetti maybe it’s a small hints for the roadmap 🤔🤔
probably!
Way to go on your prediction! 👍😉 As someone who does not buy kits, I am starving for a new game or expansion pack, so excited to hear more. Have a great week! 💗🤗💗
You too Patti :)
The confetti has hints.
1: wedding cakes
2: wedding rings.
Than there are the less obvious ones such as the mask (maybe a masquerade party? That could be super fun!) and the Chinese New Years tiger… a hint to an China inspired travel destination or maybe a hint to a Chinese New Years stuff coming?
A masquerade party sounds fun honestly not sure
I like the idea for this game pack. In trying to think what they could put in a game pack, I could see them having a party planner career, new "love" related parties (which I would like to be things like engagement parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, wedding showers, etc.), an attraction system, online dating, new clothes for weddings, and more items that can be used at said parties and weddings. It would also be lovely if they gave us a new "world" in a non-USA/European setting where you could have parties, go shopping and vacation/honeymoon. It's so much fun to let the imagination go wild but it will be interesting to see what they actually put in it.
Torn if they will do a new world or not. In some ways, unpopular as it is, idk I care if we get a new world because I so much want the gameplay to be solid. I think I saw a lot of people guessing a wedding planner career, and I could honestly see them doing something like that
@@SimmerErin From what I've seen, the team that makes worlds/sims/houses is different from the one that works on gameplay. They're all part of the "pack" team but in different parts of it. That usually means that they're on different budgets. So, having a world is not going to decrease the likelihood of having good gameplay. I think we could have both.
I would love a romance pack 🥰 let me live vicariously through my sims at last lol!
I would love to have better weddings, engagement parties, the ability to propose at dinner like in sims 2 etc, and baby showers! The option to show baby to another sim has been broken in my game for years.
I’m so excited that we’re finally getting a romance pack! It’s a pack I’ve been wanting for a while. I’m just hoping it’s done well.
as we all are ha
An attraction system of some kind is definitely plausible. As for the kits, I'm definitely with you there and say "Meh!" Valentines Day release is definitely plausible too.
ha yeah I guess I just must accept that kits exist
Still no updated babies? Honestly I don't think we will ever get them at this point
there are two surprises list, so idk what those are, but I'd imagine if they ever updated babies it would be alongside content that would benefit directly
Some of the things I plan to do in my game might be harder with an attraction system so I have to hope that it can either be set by the player or turned off.
I’m enjoying how the comments on your videos are Way more positive than other peoples.
I know people are sick of kits but do people still expect packs are made right before they come out? With the pandemic kits were probably the easiest way to keep productivity while they were trying to fix quality of life and do the spa day refresh.
Here’s to hoping luxury party, romantic garden, and or vintage glamour get a refresh
oh really ha? Normally I get negative ones but I appreciate today isn't that day
I alas don't think stuff packs will get a refresh. We never voted on stuff packs getting a refresh but we did vote on gp and ep
@@SimmerErin I only thought for those packs for weddings, hotels, possible new careers if they’re not going to do a lot of other packs
Should be interesting to see what they do and if it lives up to the standards of what everyone wants from a game pack centered around love or relationships
Omg omg code red! Code red! You are so good at predicting things! But please no more kits no more kits! We have too many!
Alas, they are here to stay. But maybe they are part of the reason why we're getting more bg updates
I was hoping it was going to be an EP so we'd get a bigger world with it lol
Still exciting I hope we'll finally get the missing romance features. I think there's still some things they need while cuddling in bed too.
we may still get a new world :) isnt outdoor retreat a game pack with a new world? (i wish we could live in it though)
My hope is they focus on really good gameplay :) I can take a small world or even no world if that is the case
@@trillijuanaplays yeah but I think I have an idea of what the theme for the world might be and I really want it to be a bigger world not a small one with five lots lol
I’m wondering if it will have a new world! 🌍 Also when they will upload the trailer of the new game pack?
Well it sounds like it is 3 months for all this content. I am not sure.. we could look at past years and make an estimate but the pandemic makes things wacky. i think a kit is up first but I could be wrong. New world? Most game packs do, but two didn't so again not sure ha
I'll definitely would be interested in this pack I just got the romances gardens last night never had it and I was glad that I got it since it was on sale and I'm definitely looking forward for this we do need more romance stuff and all that
If they have an attraction system with gender preferences and something similar to TS2’s turn ons/offs. I’d be alright with it, but I’ll wait to see if it’s anything good.
At this point, I'd be cool with any attraction system
You can already set gender preferences, it's in the same menu as the other gender specificities in CAS.
By default all sims are cisgender pansexual but you can set them to be attracted to male, females or both (mabe neither too, I can't recall). In the same menu you can determine wether they pee sitting or standing and wether they can get pregnant, make others pregnant or neither, independtly of wether their body looks male or female.
I'm interested to see what the pack will be, hopefully more than just wedding planning as people are predicting. Other love parties could be prom/dances? Bachelor/Bachorlette parties? Anniversary parties? And hopefully an attraction system will be added to base game. Not excited for kits. I'm trying to guess what they will be based on the fact that most of them are things I'm not interested in, but the word "fierce" makes me think jungle themed and lots of animal print. Probably not. What's popular style for home design on tiktok? That's probably where to find the clues.
oooh no lol now I really want proms and dances
I’m hoping this means an expansion like generations, the bachelor/ette parties like sims 3. I’ve noticed in the newest update/delivery they’ve put new objects with the word tradition…
Seeing as it's a game pack, I think it'll be more niche but I do think it'd include those parties
Idk if somebody already pointed this, but in the picture you can see a wedding cake, a pair of rings, a mask, a peacok and a tiger among the confetti. Could that be a hint about a zodiac-sign-based attraction system? Just a thought...
It could be! Some think it points to various cultures.
I really hope that if nothing else they make sims SIT at the wedding! Guests are always ruining my screenshots.
Obviously they wouldn't include all these things but I have so many ideas for this packing.
* I want to choose roles like wedding party or maybe even have an officiant.
* I NEED more wedding outfits, dresses for all ages, suits/tuxes as well.
*I want an actual wedding venue lot type that you can select. And for the wedding to cost more/less depending on where you have it.
*I want better engagements, ring shopping, more ring options
*I want to be able to plan a honeymoon rather than just a vacation.
*I want online dating, blind dates, hookup calls, basically the Simda mod in the actual game
I request a lot joy but hopefully at least we see some of this, if we got all of this I would absolutely die.
What I want
Sewing machine and sewing skill
Getting sims to watch a wedding and sit= miracle ha
I’m not excited but I’m curious to see everything unveiled. The last few things may not have completely won me over but I do like the direction and changes to the game. I have no major complaints and that’s surprising lol. So I’m curious.
Also Erin, your psychic ability is just chefs kiss. 😂 congrats on almost reaching 40k, you’re doing amazing at your pace.
Thank you! I've been feeling pretty bad about my channel lately so I very much appreciate it :)
im excited for gamepack lol but still in love with my new sims 3 expanison pack amazing video erin
I love Sims 3 ha
@@SimmerErin so do i erin i never own ambitions before but love that pack may came out 2010 but still new to me
I'm hoping that the attraction system is similiar to or even better than Wicked/Wonderful Whims. The mod itself already has a great attraction system, the only problem is with tagging items with the correct tags. Sometimes they don't notice it at all or sometimes it is tagged incorrectly. Had a sim with am extremely obvious beard but the game thought it was a goatee 😭. Bringing the attraction system to the base game would mean re tagging every single item and making it a requirements, which, now that I think about it, feels like it would be game breaking...
I'm sorry! Have you tried wonderful whims? Wonder if it has the same issues
You knew it 🎉🎉🎉
Mostly. I guessed an expansion for summer though
I love the idea of a "Hot Date" Game Pack but that not only enhances love relationships but all relationships, those of friends, that of co-workers, that of family members, etc.
But that is not all happy as in a world of lollipops, there must also be enemies or simply people who are not to your liking when you see them.
Yeah I'd love a full rehaul of relationships too, even if I don't expect it
If you look at the confetti in the image, there are wedding cakes and wedding rings so I'm definitely thinking it's a wedding game pack. There are also masks, tigers, and peacocks so maybe those are hints for the kits
Think you're right!
I agree! I’m thinking marti gras items for the masks and something for Chinese New Years for the tiger (since it’s year of the tiger)
I know most people are probably thinking it will be a wedding-themed pack...but since you can already throw weddings in-game maybe it will be prom or school dance-related since that could also bring about slow-dancing and more story-telling options for teens which are all things many in the community have been asking for!
Edit: After taking a closer look at the roadmap they posted (seeing a wedding cake and rings in the confetti) it could actually be more likely that it would be bachelor/bachelorette party-themed instead of school dance-themed, which would also be really cool!
That is possible. It could be that and it could be adding bachelorette parties and such. I wouldn't mind prom
You called it! A love pack!
I like that the confetti may have some clue?... it looks like some of them are icons..
I think so yes, maybe for the kits
Just my two cents, but what if the game pack introduces wedding planer job? Like how the Dream Home Decorator brought the house decorator job and the likes dislikes system. This would bring the wedding planer job, plus the zodiac system and the attraction system.
many are guessing a wedding planner career, and I certainly think it's plausible
Wedding dresses 🥰 Bachelor and Bachelorette parties, I would love a cold feet option too 🥰
Yes! I'd love them to bring back cold feet at the altar
I wonder if we're getting anything like a masked ball themed kit etc. There's confetti the shape of wings and masks (like a theater mask or a masked ball mask, not a surgical mask xD). I don't think the sims team ever does anything random and I don't believe in coinsidences when it comes to sims announcements
That would be very interesting
No, I agree. all the icons are clues
Along with weddings, I'd love the ability to have funerals as well. Caskets and all
I'd like funerals too. We once had a concept for funerals during stuff pack vote (I think the first one, laundry day
Hoping for a Cupid job where you play matchmaker. Also hoping for a refresh of current occults (plant sims, vampires, and mermaids) and that they start to introduce more occult sims this year.
Oh really-- I thought vampires were pretty well done. Mermaids could use a bit more nuance
When it comes with your comment about game versus expansion packs, I guess you are right because expansion packs usually have higher discounts on Origin.
Although I am not excited about a romance game pack, I celebrate EA is listening to their customers and hope the incoming features will be worth the cost.
Personally, I don't imagine which content about romantic stuff will be worth 20 dollars/euros minus if it is going to include a new world and the free kisses day to all the Sims in the park like in Sims 3. I speculate about a French (Paris?) or Italian (Venice, La Toscana?) inspired worlds.
Of those worlds (if it comes with a world) my best guess would be Italian Vineyards, since that was an option in the survey. they had french countryside too
I adored the slow dance in Sims2.
yes, and sims 3 had more romantic interactions as well
I've literally wanted a wedding and a nursery pack for so long like bouquets ,veils,cribs,maybe changing tables and rocking chairs and ik people are gonna say cc but I play on console
Yeah! They really are missing a lot of those basic things
Am excited 😊 . Still wish it was expansion pack. Not a game pack.But, this is still good news.
And am glad to see the season road map. And sounds like their a little more clear this time around.
I would be very happy. If each season gave us a expansion or game pack. And one to two kits or stuff packs. But, I don't care about kits and stuff packs in the same. And rather have stuff pack over the kit.
I care not at all about kits.. but I guess if it helps us get more bg updates I can deal
I look at kits.As that thing. I never wanted, or ask for, But, it's going show up anyway. Might as well see if it's something worthwhile.
did anyone notice the small details with the confetti 🎉 🎊 behind the white letters ?
I do think it would be centered around wedding theme, and we're probably getting wedding planner career, i don't think we'll get honeymoon tho. Honestly, i think they're setting up for Generation Packs theme, and, unrelated, i wish we get more vacations pack(s) on the way as well, an actual luxurious/relaxation vacation spot and not jungle, forest, or mountain.
I don't think we will ever get generation tbh, but yeah I don't expect we will get honeymoons and hotels in this pack some expect
thank you for this i had no idea!
No problem!!
Fingers crossed that this brings some new romance interactions as a base game update and that the pack itself comes with a new world and more complex gameplay so it doesn't feel like an upgraded stuff pack!
I really hope it does. I am frankly more interested in potential updates than the pack itself
@@SimmerErin same I'm always excited for free stuff, I'm not the simmer that purchases each pack and I'm not sure if this one will be one of my future packs, but I still wish that those who were looking forward to this get a pack that justifies the price.
maybe we can get invated to parties now? or they upgrded the wedding finally ?
I'm so excited to see what they have planned.
Geez y’all work quick!!
I try. Had to use a hot spot because my internet was out
didn't they also add a new type of lot in the wedding venue earlier 2021???
No, but they did add the ability to make any lot a vacation lot
I am super curious about the game pack. 😍 High hopes ☺️ also, I hope they will collab with CC creators properly this time...
Properly how so?
@@SimmerErin So they wouldn't do highly specific fashion kit only for men :) And they'd pick some better looking CC, the one we got to the game is one of the bad looking ones (like the crop top has really weird texture and edges etc.
For some reason when I saw the thing my first thought was 'pride'. But I love the idea of weddings too! Living with so few wedding arches is boring.
Whenever you mention an attraction system, I always forget that the attraction system I'm playing with came with a mod I'm using. 😅
Yep! It's weird for a game not to have one
Maybe we're getting the love pack for february valentine's day 💕
It's possible!
I’m kinda worried if the game pack is going to feel like a game pack or like a stuff pack. But I believe it’s going to coke with a world, unless they expect us to place down the lots that they said would come with this pack. I hope not, I don’t see too much you can do with this pack, at least if it doesn’t have a new world. Doesn’t have to be big, but something.
Also they said something about Honeymoons so I assume we’re probably going to get some honeymoon places, probably in the new world (if we get some) unlikely we’d see actual houses. Would be cool if we got some tho.
Not sure. Most game packs do come with a world, though 2 have not. If it is a world, I expect a pretty modest size
Fierce Design? Dang I'm scared now! LOLOL
LOL watch it be eyeball accessories to go with the eyeball ring
@@SimmerErin Oh Dear God let's hope not!
See Erin being besties with Andrew Wilson pays off, knowing about the romance pack before it was announced 😂😂!
( I am totally kidding! Erin is NOT best friends with Andrew Wilson and DOES NOT get early insight into any of the content surrounding the sims.)
If there is no base game update that involves an actual attraction system overhaul then I am not sure if I will be getting this pack. It would have to have very well done gameplay for me to purchase it.
While I am not a fan of kits I hope that one of the kits is a gameplay one.
I feel like if they aren’t confident with gameplay kits then they should just be transparent about it.
Andrew Wilson and I are best friends. I tell what packs to make all the time LOL
@@SimmerErin 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent detective work! I'm excited for more romance stuff.
I think it will be a party planner pack. Like being a wedding planner and baby showers
Simmer Erin for the WIN! You totally called a romance pack! So pumped!
Haha well I get speculation right sometimes. I'm very interested to see what they do
I actually enjoyed the video. I'm hoping this will be a good one.
I hope so too!
Darn those Landgraabs, taking your internet!
LOL and all week long!
You were right!
I'm hoping we're finally getting wedding veils.
The decals on the image are interesting: a wedding cake, wedding rings, a masque, a tiger, a peacock. What could that mean? I really hope the wedding/love themed pack will include some cultural diversity too, and not just white dresses and tuxedo. It would be cool if it would be linked to India with extravagant clothes and matchmaking possibilities and if also modest dresses would be included for Muslim Sims.
Very interesting, I'll have to take a closer look. They did mention cultural diversity in the one survey
Hmmm I'm gonna go wicked here and say love hotel!!! lol I really want hotels at some point in this game sigh but "throws a party for love" it really throws me off, not too sure what it could be. But yup attraction systems and more type love relationships would be appreciated.
Yeah I don't personally feel it will have hotels, more pre wedding activities and hopefully updates to the weddings themselves?
I guessed this months ago i really hope this comes with a Paris themed world or French items.💕
not sure if there will be a world or not
@@SimmerErin if only tho we could use a new destination world with a different culture. Snowy escape feels like such a let down and Salvadorada is too specific to jungle adventures(which I still have yet to play though)😂
