As much as I want(still want)a farming pack, this looks really good. I like it
The city in this pack seems to be Scandinavian-inspired (at least to me) because i saw an aurora in the trailer and you only see those in Scandinavia

You can also see auroras is northern Canada

Echt?!? Ik had ooit op een gamesite gelezen (weet niet meer welke, ik weet alleen nog dat het artikel waarin het stond over Animal Crossing ging) dat het in Nederland nooit voorkomt.

I live in northern Massachusetts and on a really clear night when they’re strong you can see them in the distance
Reply to Allie
Omg really? I live in Massachusetts too and I have never heard of it!
Reply to Robbie
Me either! I also live in Massachusetts. I’ve heard you sometimes can see them in Maine!

You see aurora borealis all over cannada as well. Honetsly this city looks like Vancouver imo
Reply to FennekinLover07
You can also see them down south (Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, Antarctica) but they are called aurora australis instead of aurora borealis 😀
I’m very confused as to why they made this an EXPANSION PACK instead of a GAME PACK. I feel like I would buy it if it was a game pack, but now I’m not so sure…it just seems too small of a topic to be made into an expansion, plus we already had some of this stuff in Island Living and Tiny Living. Well, I guess I finally have an excuse to make Greta Thunberg in The Sims 4. (how dare you!)
I really like how the world looks, and some of the cas items as well. And I’m happy that this pack is releasing for all platforms at the same time! Very exciting!
Can’t wait! Looks interesting
I don’t want to judge it before it comes out but that trailer really didn’t tell us anything other than corrugated metal wallpaper and candles. Like, it looks fine but normally watching a reveal trailer makes me super excited even if I don’t intend on getting it. But this… I don’t know, I just hope this made someone else excited.
i am more than disapointed. where is plantsims or somethin. we have just trash, ugly cas and ladders
Reply to lol
Up until University I always defended the Sims team. But that EP that I had been looking forward to for years was so disappointing, and now this? Im very sad to say I won’t buy it.
I’m sick of spending $40 every time just to get some semi+cool cats/bb and basic ass game play.
hard copies of this better come in biodegradable materials

How do I upvote comments in here lmao
I’m not a complainer. I love most packs. I saw nothing of interest in this trailer. Much like Strangerville, one and done gameplay. Shocked that a Stuff Pack proposal became an Expansion Pack.
Reply to Kai Chen
I agree with you, play it once and be done with it knowing you threw 40€ out the window.
It looks nice and all but I feel like this, the laundry pack and the off-grid option should have all come as one, instead of so many tiny little things…
OH.MY.GREEN!!! THEY ADDED LADDERS! AND YOU DONT HAVE TO SWIM TO GET TO THEM!!! Yesssssssss!
Reply to Thegreengamer16
AND IT LOOKS LIKE A NEW DEATH WITH FLIES!!!
Guys, didn’t you notice the ladders! Omg!
Reply to Obliviona
I DID
Have my forty pounds for this pixelates ladder…
As expected, I am (once again) disappointed. Something that should have either been implemented better in the pack that it was introduced in (Island Living) or even in a stuff pack or game pack. But, no, EA decided it made more sense to make it an entire expansion pack. As others have said, the reveal trailer is supposed to peak interest in said pack. This trailer did absolutely nothing for me except make me even more angry at EA. While I think an entire pack dedicated to “Knitting” is a poor choice (it should have been included in either Laundry Day or a pack dedicated to family like Generations or Hobbies), the fact that THAT sounds better than an entire expansion pack is really saying something. Not sure why I am still hoping EA does the right thing. The Sims: Superstar came out in 2003 and offered three career paths: acting, singing and modeling while Get Famous, released in 2018, only had ONE active fame career. If that isn’t a red flag that I don’t know what else to tell you. They know fans are dedicated and are going to bite the bullet and buy this load of junkyard trash anyway, but not me.
ladders!!
I wasn’t sure about this from the concept, but it looks pretty cool actually! I like that your Sim’s actions have a direct effect on the world, it opens up a lot more story opportunities. Also: pause at 1:06, looks like ladders are coming back
Reply to Cherry
Although I do really hope that said ladders are part of the next patch, not the expansion, because they really should have been included in Tiny Living Stuff. It feels like TLS itself was supposed to be included with this pack, too, but the concepts got separated at some point
I would play it!
I agree this should be a game pack instead of an expansion pack…but. I did see: hobbies, ladders, and did I see a hatchery? (Guy holds a baby chick)…
Not keen on build items but any new hobbies or traits are welcome.
no up dated babys or farm sims or cars 🙁
This does look interesting. Tho some of the animation and activities are clearly copies of other assets already in-game. Which brings the value for me down… all the same it DOES look neat. But not expansion-worthy.
So, will there be homeless people in there 🙂
Yesss a new expansion pack ugh I love the sims 4
