Speculation is rife about the new Sims 4 game package after the icon for the new release was accidentally leaked last Sunday. Or maybe it was not accidental, who knows.
Over there are many theories about what this game can do be – ranging from a Star Wars crossover as outer space, the possibility of a package for winter resorts and even theories about an Atlantis / underwater type of package.
One thing that has Summer bred in the community is the icon itself
. It looks clear different compared to the other game-pack icons because the colors are reversed. That has led to all sorts of speculations as to why this might be.
But on the official Sims forums, one user made a good point – in a roundabout way. The user @LeGardePourpre was actually not convinced that the leak is real – despite the fact that it appeared on the official Sims website.
But that led to a good point.
The leaked icon for the new Sims 4 game pack clearly looks different from others on the leak, but it is actually no different than looking at how icons appear in the artwork of previous packages as on trailers. The “reversal” of the icon is what has led to many of the speculations surrounding it being underwater (with the colors reversed) or about a space theme (with the light beam a tree) as a winter package of sorts.
Mar check out some other icons from previous Sims 4 packages – these appeared both as official assets and on the trailers of some packs.
Dat “light bar ”is perhaps just the usual style of Sims 4 and absolutely nothing special. If the icon is inverted (with apologies to graphic designers everywhere), we are left with something like that.
That does not help much in solving the mystery – it does help the Star Wars-inspired crossover theory, however.
It is quite possible that the icon is not displayed in the final state. The icon shown on the leaked screenshot of the Sims 4 game pack might have just been a “placeholder” of sorts (the version that would go on a trailer, for example) – until the designs for the game were finished.
