Occult much?
We’ve just gotten a cryptic confirmation that something occult is on the way! Simguru GrimSuruDoi and simguru SimGuruConor posted a rather puzzling image with the following haiku:
If citrus stale, eat other root.
Fate, woe be it!
As a ski snacker, Alps raid le 246.

The one thing we are getting from this at the first glance is a lot of half moon, star, and sun characters…
Could it be?
A TERRITORY MARKING LOG & WELCOME TO MOONWOOD MILL?
And then there was this:
Sim Twitter cracked the code!
But it doesn’t end there! A couple of hours later this one dropped:
If we apply the same logic as above, this one says: “I survived the century conflict.”
Soon after we got this one:
Since nothing can stop SimTwitter now, this one is cracked as well: “Take a dip in lake Lunvik“!
The saga continues! Stay tuned for more info!
If you put SimGuruConor’s picture through a cryptogram solver, one of the (many) results is “a territory marking dog”
idk if that’s what they’re going for but I found it interesting and kind of werewolf-like haha
The other photo has no english results for the entire puzzle however going off of the order and repeats, “welcome to moonwood m*ll” fits with an unknown letter in the last word
Quick edit: Skimmed over the ‘i’ in the first puzzle when carrying the letters over, the last word is for sure “mill”
“log” not “dog” but otherwise seems right 😀
I think that weird “poem” is mean to be unscrambled. Guessing the pack drops on 6/24? Somebody on Twitter translated the symbols into “Welcome to Moonwood Mill” and I have no idea if that’s right, but it makes sense to me.
Its time to howl and sing werewolves of london.
I’d like to meet his tailor kit
what the f****** does this mean?
Maybe some of the other occults normally assoicated with werewolves are getting a bit of a refresh(mostly thinking spellcasters), hoping we get a tiny cauldron if that is the case as a decoration that gains function if you have RoM as well as this new pack(if its gonna be in the new pack and not an actual RoM refresh)
Ok theory time: Werewolf pack, Moonwood Mill is the new world, we’re getting a moon cycle similar to Sims 3 which will affect all worlds (hence using some already existing worlds in the teasers we’ve been getting) but in particular Glimmerbrook because it’s being refreshed, one of the new things being a new type of magic that’s dependent on moon phases. I wonder if moon phases might be a base game update?
that might be, can also see mooncaster being the truly gender neutral term for werewolves(as were in werewolf is a masculine term, wif is the feminine version) and maybe we might see something band related(when I googled mooncasters, guitar stuff was what came up).
I can honestly see the update maybe also changing how alchemy works(that is just a hope as I prefer previous entries way of doing it in a way
If moon phases end up base game I really hope they have an on/off toggle. The putrid blue glow from the full moon is something I’ll never miss in TS3.
ooo I’d love to see the moon cycles in game, particularly if it impacts not just ‘werewolves’
Take every other letter starting with the second, and it’s “first letter of tweets since April 26” – looking through the tweets, that comes out to “llimdoownoomotemoclew,” which is “welcome to Moonwood Mill” backwards.
someone really got paid to come up w all that
