2021 Pack Speculation
I've been thinking a bit about when we might get future packs and what they might be. I decided to start by graphing out what we got in past years: https://i.imgur.com/XsCftg9.png The last row is...

I don't think they would do a full on generations since we got parenthood. And all the moody stuff went to teens. What would be left to distinguish preteens?
Lots of people wish for Generations, even LilSimsie published a video on it recently. The devs know we want it.
I've read quite a few times that you like story driven YA only gameplay (I think, not sure), but lots of people like to play families and we haven't got a lot in the past few years. Also some SimGuru said Parenthood was NOT Generations.
There are also lots of people wanting preteens.
I think we'll get something generations like, but not actually "Generations for Sims 3 For Sims 4"
A lot of what LilSimsie was asking for in her Generations video could be filled by a School pack. (Pre-School, Elementary School, High School) And I think a School pack is coming, based mostly on the High School portion of one of the surveys (the most recent one? Not sure.)
As for Pre-Teens... I'm doubtful. Not impossible, but the stage is very short in real life, and I can't think of when they've added a new life stage that will also require a new figure model in an expansion, so Pre-teens would be a base game expansion for 2-5 days of gameplay (maybe up to 15 on long life) that would get next to no support in future expansions... I'd rather they focused on making the School pack good.
And before anyone defends pre-teens with you can play on aging off - they have to judge how viable something is based on Normal lifespan, because that's the default.
