Bohemian Garden Set (with new Premium Content)
« on: February 23, 2014, 11:01:49 PM »
Edit:

The Bohemian Garden set is now available.  You can find it here:

Quote
Release your Sims inner Bohemian! Spend a spring morning planting a variety of new harvestables and an afternoon lounging under a flower-covered canopy. What free-thinking spirit doesn’t want to take off their retro-styled boots and walk among the wildflowers?

You can find it here:  Bohemian Garden

It is available for 1700 SimPoints.


Original post:
Once again, the SimGurus have been giving some teases for a new set due out sometime in early March.  These are pulled from SimGuruCopeland and SimGuruTatertot's twitter feeds.

SimGuruCopeland has said there will be a new set coming out in the first part of March.  He revealed it is a reimagining of a Stuff Pack from the Sims 2.  (He mentioned the reimagining on the Sims 3 forums here:  SimGuruCopeland Post)

Additionally, there is an image from SimGuruCopeland's twitter feed:

SimGuruCopeland also confirmed there will be berry collectables in game.  What one may be able to do with them still hasn't been confirmed.

I like that garden swing! I hope they have two-seater ones too (most I see in real life seat two people, like a loveseat).

That is absolutely beautiful. I'm definitely curious to see what's going on with the berries. :)

Well, if I had to take a guess, I think the stuff pack that they're talking about/re-imagining is the Home and Garden one, so it might be a plantable/harvestable.

Pretty much what you said Gwendy.  SimGuruCopeland on Feb. 20 had a picture of the old Sims 2 Mansions and Garden Stuff Pack.

That is absolutely beautiful. I'm definitely curious to see what's going on with the berries. :)
And SimGuruCopeland pretty much confirmed there will be berries in the game.  Someone asked point blank about it, and SimGuruCopeland replied:  "Appearently.  :-)"

Perhaps he was eluding to there being pears? I can think of a couple of pear recipes that could be added as well. Poached pears, and pears in red wine, although they might rename it to be more fitting to the game, so pears in red nectar. *shrugs* Just a theory.

You are right Lysita.  Sometimes I can be too literal minded for my own good, but the SimGurus definitely work in puns when promoting new stuff.

For example, earlier on SimGuruCopeland's feed, he said:
Quote
I eight a lot of new harvestables researching the March Set.

This would imply 8 new harvestables.  They already made a pun with Pear (which Lysita noticed).  Today also had two puns with Peach.  There was a compiled picture which hinted at Strawberries (definitely), and possibly Blueberries.

Just a few more teasers.  It looks Pecans will be showing up as well:

...And you thought I was going to tease the Pecan Tree.  If you need me, I'll be hanging out here...

Also, for those who love the hanging chair, SimGuruCopeland said it can be put almost anywhere.



Additionally, there is an already built gazebo:

Well looking it the pictures so far, this will definatly give me a nice Easter themed build, plus I am looking forward to the possible new recipes that come with the new crops.  Would be sweet if strawberrys could be used to make strawberries and cream.

The name of the new set is going to be Bohemian Garden.  However, it isn't out yet.  SimGuruTatertot posted there has been a technical issue with it.

Bohemian Garden Coming Soon

However, some pictures (the first two are old, the last one is new).

First, some of the new flowers will be recolorable:

I really like that arch.

I like the arch too! I'm going to wait for more pictures before deciding whether it's something I buy right at release or wait for, but I like the way it looks so far. :)

I love the tulips!  After a long cold winter (which isn't over yet) I'm more than ready for some spring flowers, even if it's only in my Sims game.  :D
