I’ve watched plenty of simmers reactions to the new trailer, and was surprised, that no one mentioned/skipped over the part where grim said “ you can come back as your great grandson”; are we getting back more detailed family trees 🤔

They HAVE to be redoing CAS. We've never been able to change what kind of occult/normal our sims are without deleting them entirely while we're making them, which has been a huge pain in the ass all these years. Giving us a big update for THE main occult in the game, there's never been a better time to do it. Given the way CAS is structured in the game, it's probably safe to assume that changing something like that would mean basically ripping up the foundation and starting over. I'm very excited for it tbh, we've needed this overhaul more than anything else that needs refreshing in the game for a LOOOONG time.

I love that they are giving the modders a headstart in fixing their mods before the expansion pack drops.

I think the base game update is going to be occult hybrids. If ghosts are turning into a fully fledged occult how can that co-exist if the sim was another occult when alive? Anyways, thats just my take.

[boobabyboo]

I’ll wait for the second patch to come out… you know the emergency patch they’ll have to implement after this patch breaks everything once again.

[anyahm]

I think CAS will not only be getting ghost customization but also a funeral outfit section. I will be pleasantly surprised if funerals become base game, but fancier customization is pack locked just like how dates work. The changes to Aspirations and other sections of Sim personalities that are going to be tied to the Soul Journey is probably also going to cause huge mod changes, so I’m really happy they’re updating earlier and letting mod creators get a head start. I’m really hoping this early patch ensures smooth expansion pack release. We’re all so excited for this pack!

[sydneydunn]

I would love a patch to the Keepsake box to go along with this update. We can’t put any photos in the box without them blacking out. Tbh this is the pack I’m most excited for and I just can’t believe all the right steps they’re taking to make this a success! I’m so hype!!!

[reside]

Your idea creating ghosts in CAS made me think, that they’re maybe adding ghost as a new lifestage, since it would all tie into the soul‘s journey thing, to where you need to be a ghost before you can be reborn (the unfinished business is for my understanding optional, since you might already finish your bucketlist)… i mean it totales gives the circle of life vibes?! … just my thoughts… 🤔

[OceanSidezOnline]

Time to update my mods folder again! This time happily since it’s new content not bug fixes to broken content we never should have gotten broken in the first place 🎉

Edit: What I mean in detail is that I’d prefer having to update mods due to new exciting content like this potential big update, rather then having to constantly update my mods due to the sims bug fixes, which half the time don’t even work. Sure, the new content will 100% have bugs, but sadly that’s just a given right now with the sims 4ever

[ragdollrose]

I appreciate the warning for the mods. At this point, modding is part of the Sims and we definitely know the most popular mods so I think it's bare minimum to give time to adjust and avoid game breaking issues. Imo, they should even do compatibility test with those "essential" mods, but they can barely test their own games at this point so I don't really expect it. Just nice they acknowledge the mods

[Ikwigsjoyful]

Honestly wonder why they don't release pack patches a week ahead every time: giving modders a chance to update their mods ahead of time, plus giving themselves some bug fixing time before the pack releases seems like a great idea. Might even cut down on player stress and angst (and therefore some player bad behaviors). As far as the update goes, I think it will just be the ability to create ghosts in CAS and being able to start a new game as a ghost, although I would love it if they gave us ghost babies (thinks lovingly of her ghost/fairy hybrid baby from Sims 3 :D )

[RedMistHavoc]

The biggest update could be the Heirloom system applied to every single B/B item released since 2014.

[MissOlivia]

The sims team is not playing this time around! They literally have been just laying everything out bare!!! We got dates, names, etc right up front so now saying here modders and creators start now we giving you access!!! And that’s good 👍🏾 I see the sims teams moving different (could be because of INZOI) but either way I’m glad they are moving better!!!

[animefantastic]

Me hoping we finally get custom lifespan sliders.

[SaraLevine-buzx]

I hope you're right about the ghost I would love to have a ghost baby maybe I'll be half and half

[voxnihili]

They are reacting to this new player behavior, where people don’t remove mods before a patch. Naturally, this corrupts save games and introduces bugs. Maxis is probably sick of being blamed for mod issues. Which doesn’t mean they are not responsible for a lot of bugs themselves. It’s just blatantly obvious, that issues have multiplied since the game went free to play. I‘ve noticed an alarming number of simmers that insist on using outdated mods and expect EA to fix it for them. Or they don’t even understand the fact that mods break. While it was common knowledge five years ago, that mods are your own risk and responsibility, players now feel entitled to a working game, without lifting a finger themselves.
We‘ll see if the early patch works as intended. That still requires people to update their mods. Since many simmers don’t even know how to do that properly, I don’t think it will help. This is what happens, when your desired demographic‘s default is judging and blaming everyone, except themselves.

[Raini]

In the blogpost for the game, it said we would get the ability to customize ghosts in CAS 😊 so that means the base game update will probably be something else if it only comes with the game!

[jazzbuchanan]

Idk if anyones mentioned it but I hope cemeteries will be a free lot venue update.

[Eli-jwmx]

I noticed in the gameplay trailer there were a lot of hairs with two different colors maybe they finally are allowing us to choose both colors and not give us pre made swatches.

[bootay]

the create a sim screen in "The Sims 4 Life & Death: Official Gameplay Trailer" had a question mark in the top left corner above the asperation, maybe its a cult box
