higgins534 pointed out on our forums that there’s finally somewhat more official news about the holiday pack. sims2.se has a little blurb about it and a couple cover art pictures. It looks like once again the base game will be sold with the holiday pack included. The official site (in english) has also added a little blurb on their front page. Of course, in true maxian style we are just told to stay tuned for more information. As we’ve known for a while, the release date for this is supposed to be November 7th - of course this could change.

It’s also been brought to my attention that another little slip happened recently - apparently there’s rumblings of a new “The Sims2: In Season” item. The Maxoids have denied this in the official bbs thread regarding it - the thread is now locked. However, one has to wonder if it was just a blunder and is in the very least a working title. However, as you can see in the screenshot I took EA let the cat out of the bag - see it yourself (until it’s removed) here.

Maybe we’ll get weather that works properly (and not indoors) after all! It would be amazing to have properly working seasons in the game.

Discuss the upcoming holiday pack on our forums. The in season blunder can also be discussed here.
