@sdhoey posted this in the EA and Community Announcements board but as it is locked I think we need a thread we can discuss it on. Here is a link to that post. I thank her for it.

sdhoey has a link to the reveal trailer in her thread so I will not repost it. but here is a few official links not on her thread.

@sdhoey That would be great.

My answers

Do you plan to buy this pack?

Yes, I have this pack. I am so excited. I always felt the game lacked family game play and a Generations style pack could go a long way to fixing that. I mean it loks like there is actual toddler content here. Must own in my book.

Are you looking forward to the pack?

Yes. In my mind it is the most need pack to date. I can't wait to do the four new kid asperations. Infant life stage coming free in an update sounds fun. Also toddlers are so neglected I am glad to see actual game play for them.   18 discoverable Toddler Quirks sounds great. The social prefrance system sound like it culd add depth to sims, something that is needed even if it is no attraction system. San Sequoia, a new world is always good. Also tree houses could be fun.

What excites you the most?

Family game play. Children and toddlers are so neglected in this game. I am so glad they are getting an update. I am very curious about the children's new confidence system as well.

What concerns you the most?

Bugs. The Sims 4 is often a major bug fest when major changes happen. Packs like Wedding Stories have me gun shy about new packs. Also I know this will break every mod ever. Sorting them will be a nightmare.

Over all I am excited. They had me with kids on bikes and parents teaching them to ride. I am bouncing with excitement.

Do I plan to buy it?  Is the Pope Catholic?  Heck yeah!

Looking forward to it?  I'm playing one of my older saves, I have a teen couple currently.  The goal is for them to get through Uni, get jobs and an apartment and get married, and have her pregnant and just about ready to pop in time for Growing Together.  So... yeah, pretty excited!

What excites me the most?  I don't know!  The trailer was so full of stuff I want to get my hands on.  Everything they showed off, I want to play around with.

And just like Scoed, I'm concerned about bugs.  I hope they aren't too terrible this time.  Every pack has them, sometimes it's a complete mess, sometimes it's just a few things here and there.  Let's hope this one falls into the "few things here and there" category.  There does seem to be a correlation between the SimGuru's excitement level and the severity of the bugs, and they seem to be pretty pumped about this one.

Do I plan to buy this? Absolutely. I'll probably pre-order.

Looking forward to it? Counting the days. I haven't figured out yet which story to continue with it. Bella just had a baby in the story I was most recently working on, or I might go back to something older.

What excites me the most? I could say everything, but I'm most curious about infant and toddler quirks. I love the tummy kisses, and the child jumping onto her parent; also that adults can go up in the treehouse.

What concerns me? The new memories -- milestones. They were a heavy burden in TS3, causing lag as every Sim remembered going to the park, etc. I usually play rotationally, and that could be a problem. I would like to get the framed pictures, but don't know if my computer will be up to it, especially since I have all the EPs, GPs, and SPs.

Elders need Tech help? I can relate.

Elders Need Tech Advice Too!

More Elder game play is a good selling point. Elders need love too.
