New info about the Sims 4 Gamepack and a release date for a new bundle. Hopefully the gp will release at the same time?

@matrix54 I'd argue that it was a combination of both being announced too early as well as mispromoted. The promotion was a disaster but also if you go back to the first trailer you can clearly see that the EP was barely finished, they were still in the midst of working on it. I believe they even admitted this when they announced the delay since they said it gave them more time to polish up things and even add the diving board and don't wake the llama.

The end product turned out to be drastically different than that what we had seen first promoted. Had it not been delayed, and released in the state of the original promo, reception would not have been so good.

Interesting! Now lets hope the features are well made.

On the contrary.



I think they just won't be there because it looks like they'll just have a SP to announce. They are on a really tight announcement schedule nowadays so anything new we get from the game will come one or two month after hearing about it. We already know that we are getting the dining pack this month and the kids stuff pack next month likely. I'm guessing that's why.

I was wondering when you'd get here

I wonder what all of that experimental cuisine stuff is about. I'm guessing it's some level 10 cooking skill dishes. That, or they added another cooking skill, with all new dishes? We'll see.

I believe it.

and for the low low price of 20 bucks!

It bugs me that these tables are square-ish and not round, they don't feel like restaurant tables but more like the basic tables with a cloth on top. Also they ditched their "Get ..." trend; too bad it could have been "Get Eating"

The list isn't eve done yet. Trust me, the opportunity to be sassy will come, and I'll right there with you, but we have to wait a while lol

Also, we don't know if they got ride of the "Get-" yet, since that's expansion pack exclusive.

If that bundle release is correct then that would mean they're announcing the pack tomorrow because they always announce 2 weeks before release. I doubt that date is right since that is a Thursday and they only release on Tuesdays. Thursdays are patch days.

I wonder if they are going to add the blogging feature back in from TS3, since there are a lot of food and restaurant blogs and the sims already take pictures of everything. Although I didn't use that much in 3 (I only remembered it now because I saw Youtubers Life on Steam) I think it could be a big thing in this game since the sims are always on their computers, phones, and tablets. It feels like a big social aspect that's missing.

Or "Get Stuffed"

Good to see the get trend is gone.

For now... *cue ominous music*

The get trend is only for EP so no it isn't gone...

or is it! *dun dun dun*

Why do people think this is an expansion pack?

YAY!!



<sarcasm>The Tragic Clown is better than those obnoxious toddlers</sarcasm>

The premium content in the Boys And Girls Stuff Pack (would be a cute name) is an immobile toddler life state in a crib.

#callingIt

Something like a toddler version of this?



Edit: Now the hair is raising on the back of my neck. I'm having imaginary friend flash backs...

Baby dolls, is there nothing more horrifying?

OT: Is she called Betsy Wetsy because she regularly wets herself?

Yes.
There are also dolls that poop and vomit.

The kids love em!

Edit: I decided to look up experiment cuisine. It's basically food that it's overly designed and polished to be more arty, but can also can incredibly minimalist. There isn't a lot of food on the plate.

It's what those restaurants who charge you for atmosphere l, rather than food, do.

Am I the only one who liked the imaginary friends? They were creepy and I've had situations like when one was literally hovering over its assigned kid, watching him take a bath. But when they're not being deranged stalkers, they're kinda cute. And when they are being deranged stalkers....it's really funny XD
