NEWS BYTE - Hot Summer or Flop?

5/2/2023

0 Comments

 
Sims 4 Growing Together may be one of the best Sims 4 packs yet, but what comes next? After the Sims 4 Greenhouse Haven Kit and the Sims 4 Basement Treasures Kit, I'm diving into a timeline and predictions for what we can expect for everything from the hot summer base game update to the timeline for an upcoming expansion pack or game pack. 

So when could this all happen? First, we know we’ve gotten a roadmap that lasts through (or until June)
Picture
We’ve already gotten 2 of those kits, so 2 kits remain, as well as the hot summer update. We tend to get kits in pairs, and since we’ve already gotten 2 bb kits, at least one of the remaining kits being CAS seems reasonable. 

Theories for the hot update include: Caliente refresh (Caliente= hot in Spanish), pool update and/or swimming items, and/ or some form of a romantic update or dating app. But what happens either at the end of June or July? 

Well, often, a base game update comes before a new pack- so it’s not too wild to think we’ll get a summer pack. For this, let’s look at the timeline for past sims 4 packs:
Picture
As you can see, these are popular months for a sims 4 pack. Since we just had an expansion pack, it may be that we get a game pack next- and the final second expansion pack for 2023 in November. Still, this of course is speculation, and it’s hard to say for sure.

Regardless of when the next Sims 4 pack comes, we have many clues as to what it could be. First, consider this survey from Digital Spy. Though it is not an official Sims 4 poll, it did have a large sample size, and we’ve already gotten some of the most popular ideas:
Picture
Other ideas? Perhaps even stronger is the official Sims 4 2020 survey. Some of these concepts have already come in base game updates and packs, yet many also remain:
Picture
Of these remaining ideas the following seem most plausible: bands, modern love and romance, maybe heists, and malls. (See this speculation video on why malls could come to Sims 4 or a concept for a band pack in Sims 4). 

Next, we add in build buy item descriptions from the new Sims 4 kits, which are filled with time travel hints. Those also align with a Sim Guru twitter poll from 2018:
Picture
So what do these predictions leave us? Well, it’s becoming harder to predict what Sims 4 pack will come next, but some of the most likely ideas include:

  • Bands
  • Fairies (see this video about sims 4 fairies hints or this video on sims 4 fairies and time travel) 
  • Grim Reaper? (multiple hints or references, including those during the release of Sims 4 Growing Together
  • Heists
  • Hotels/ Vacation/ Sea  
  • Horses (see this video about horses and castaway hints in Sims 4) 
  • Modern Love & Romance
  • Shopping Malls 


Simply put? There are still many possible packs for Sims 4 after Growing Together- and the next pack could come as soon as Summer 2023. Will it be a hot Summer? Guess we’ll have to wait to see. You Can Watch My Full Video Here.

News Byte - Console Update

4/29/2023

News Byte with Simmer Erin

It’s been months since the sims 4 update for console controls- and the team has finally responded, but many sims 4 players aren’t happy. The update in January changed console controls and has made building and gameplay a challenge for many. On April 27th, a sims 4 community responded.

​Check out the featured short and details in the video below.

More about the update

The update that was released April 26th, 2023, also re-enables the "lose tooth" feature from The Sims 4 Growing Together expansion pack. The feature allows Sims to lose their teeth, and it has been fixed after some issues. The update also fixes an issue that was causing subtle adjustments to the appearance of Sims in the April 18th update. Any Sim that was created prior to the April 18th update should return to looking as they did before. The update is available for PC and Mac with version numbers 1.97.62.1020 and 1.97.62.1220, respectively, and for consoles with version 1.75.

Community thoughts and speculation

Whether we like to admit it or no, it always seems like we as a community enjoy the speculation time period where we analyze each frame of the video take in the new art styl of the roadmap and even the choice of words used to attempt to guess what will be coming from the Sims team and this roadmap has us all wondering. 
Super Sleuth SimMattically has broken down the simlish lettering on the boxes into the english letters to help us all fuel our imaginations with what they could mean

I "translated" the simlish text from the boxes but i don't know if it means anything tbh pic.twitter.com/egkkvsUCZn

— SimMattically (@SimMattically) April 11, 2023
Meanwhile, many others have turned to the symbols on the box, attempting to identify and started speculating at what they might mean, like our favorite Henford on Bagley resident TheHenfordHen, and even LilSimsie

Leaf + Roof = Greenhouse Kit perhaps? □

Maybe a indoor plants gameplay kit where you have to keep your indoor plants looked after and watered. □ pic.twitter.com/0Jk6PmD6hH

If you'd like a nice well rounded conversation about what we know, what we were supposed to be getting, and a continued bit of community speculation then tune in to Simmer Erin's Roadmap video
Lastly, we invite you to take a closer look at the box logos, the other content in the video and share you thoughts/hopes/speculations in the comments below.

​Happy Simming!

New Patch Out - Loose Tooth Glitch Fix

3/24/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Sims 4 has released a new patch that fixes an issue with loose teeth.
The issue caused Sims to change their appearance drastically when they lost a tooth, which was unintended. The patch also fixes a few other bugs, including one that caused Sims to become stuck in a pose.
​
The patch is available now for all players on PC, Mac, and the team has developed a work around for console players.. To download the patch, simply open the Origin client and let it update your game.
If you have any questions about the patch, please visit the Sims 4 Help Center.

From the Community

For those of you who have not yet purchased the lates expansion pack: Growing Together, PeaFrog Sims has outlined the glitch in question that the latest patch is supposed to fix.

Check out their video on TikTok to learn more about it.

The Sims Direct, keeping us in the know...

Today, a patch for The Sims 4 was released on PC/Mac to temporarily disable the "lose tooth" feature that caused unwanted changes to a Sim’s appearance.

We've provided a workaround for console users on AHQ & will continue to investigate reenabling the feature in a future update. pic.twitter.com/GE0RdHGhan
