The Sims officially put ‘City Life’ expansion pack rumors to rest when they released a teaser for The Sims 4: City Living on YouTube Monday evening. Just 10 seconds long, the clip shows a woman in a letterman's jacket holding a map and looking up at skyscrapers. A subway stop and moving train are visible in the background. A full trailer will release today, so stay tuned for updates on what to expect from City Living.

Simmers across the community have also collected a few screenshots from the expansion pack. We’re definitely getting basketball courts. There’s a woman in a brand new, super fly dress. The photos also confirm new hairstyles and Create-A-Sim features. There’s a man with a new colorful tattoo and a man-bun making out with a blonde woman wearing a bandana over her ponytail.

New hairstyles, clothes and activities are on the way.

It also looks like we may get another group activity. One photo appears to show a couple performing karaoke in a loft apartment with a city view in the background. The Sims also looks to be adding a Chinatown-like neighborhood to the new world. There’s a pair of Sims eating Vietnamese Pho with chopsticks and various other fast-casual food stands, though unfortunately, I didn’t spot any food trucks.

A City Living developer spoke out on Twitter when she found out the expansion pack was announced. “I screamed every time I saw the world,” Emily Zeinner tweeted. When asked if she thinks it’s better than Bridgeport from The Sims 3: Late Night, she replied, “Well. Obviously pros/cons of both, but I think visually more alive/exciting than any previous iterations.”

Hmmm. We’ll have to wait for the official City Living announcement later today to find out what possible cons Zeinner could be speaking of, though she also added she believes this is the best world yet. This story is developing. Stay tuned for updates.

In the meantime, here’s the 9 features we want to see in the City Living expansion pack.
