"Natural Living"
How this going to be different from the simple living lot trait in Cottage Living, the off grid lot trait from Island Living and the eco footprint of Eco Lifestyle?
"meeting their needs outdoors"
How this different to Outdoor Retreat and Island Living? With tents (OR,SE), sleeping bags (GrT, HR), fishing, portable fires (OR, HR) and party bushes (GT, IL, WW, HR) sims can already do this.
"mushrooms"
Harvesting mushrooms is already a feature of Cottage Living.

I'm interested because I do think that playing as self sufficient lifestyle sims to be one of the more interesting things in TS4 but this just sounds like they're covering what already exists. I guess L&D is going to be the last unique pack concept.

All of this could've been a pack refresh, but those don't make number go up.

Re: Somethingisgrowing.com Update

Yup. At this point I think it's safe to say that pack refreshes are dead. They must not have gotten the extra sales they hoped for with Spa Day, so there won't be any more refreshes.

IMO, at this point they are running out of ideas for things that they could realistically add in. (Like someone on an earlier page suggested a safari pack, sure great idea but EA is never going to invest that kind of money in a TS4 pack, same goes for other suggestions that would require a lot of work.) So, that means we are going to see A LOT of rehashed content that is similar to stuff already in the game. They're adding an apothecary skill, we have a skill from Outdoor Retreat called Herbalism I think that you have to experiment with random plants to level. They're going to retread a lot of territory from those existing packs you mentioned. And that is likely to continue with all future packs.

they aren't running out of ideas they're reusing ideas because it's less work

Re: Somethingisgrowing.com Update

absolutely. they've hit all the major things that people wanted (weather, cats dogs horses, toddlers, family shit, island, business, apartments, city, vampires, werewolves), and now they can just kind of do whatever they want. and it's easier and cheaper to recycle stuff since people will buy it anyway. why make something new and unique if they can make yet another variation of the same thing? i snorted out loud when i read that anon's comment about a safari pack. there ain't no way.
