There’s a new Life and Death video by The Sims, this time on ‘Grimterns’! I discuss my thoughts on it and some recent SimGuru tweets about the pack & upcoming base game update, including some speculation on what the new ‘big’ feature coming to base game might be. What do you think it could be? 😊🍁 #Sims4 #LifeandDeath #Speculation #BaseGameUpdate

SimGuruMorgan Tweet/Replies:

Re zodiac signs:

I'm sorry to be a bummer, but (to set expectations) we aren't doing that in this pack or with the upcoming update.

Re swimsuits:

I can't wait for everyone to see all of the variants of these Swimsuits. They fit the Macabre Trait so well. They're my new favorites. (Okay, new favorites after that gnome one.) pic.twitter.com/11rTBEV7rG

Re the gravestones/urns ‘small compared to ‘that’’:

Possible original tweet with the ‘that’:

And there's even more than we listed! 🫣 I also can't wait to talk about one particular thing coming with BG Update (that I don't even think we've mentioned yet). https://t.co/dki58UJ7m3

SimGuruMorgan re BG feature being CAS related:

World might be too high. It's CAS related. But not like 'new outfit CAS cool" – cooler than that. You may resume speculating! 😆

Tweet Thread re Nervous Subject Name:

I art is amaaaazing! But also… if he was Nervous Subject when he lived with the Beakers who were experimenting on him… who was he before? I bet he even had a real name… https://t.co/IYU1Vw8n3v
