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...

If they play their cards right, I think they could make everybody happy this year: Occult players, Family players, & the realistic sim players.
I'm predicting: 1 SP, 2 GP, 2 EP
We've got the SP incoming with a focus on Occult players.
I think next would be a GP and I think its bands. This will focus on realistic players and bring an element lots of people feel is missing. (I also think Family players might get a little enjoyment out of this if kids also get a few more instruments, and teens will likely also be able to make bands. Maybe they'd even add "band" as an extracurricular for kids and teens)
Next would be the Summer EP. With what hints we've been seeing in snowy escapes, I'm thinking a romance pack! I really like the idea someone else said how it could be Paris themed and also include heists, casinos and hotels. The romance in sims needs an overhaul and people have been asking for it, but I don't think it's enough to fill an EP on it's own, which is why adding hotels would pair perfectly with romance and romantic getaways. A pack all focused around "high octane" feelings basically.
Thay would bring us into the fall, with GP two. Just before halloween or thereabouts. I could see a werewolves GP. It's the most asked for occult and they have a pattern now of putting popular occults in their own GP. (Small prediction - actually think they might make a "shapeshifter" pack and give you a branching four or five options of animals instead of just werewolves. So you could either be like a werewolf, werecat, werebird, weregator and something silly like werellama. Then give them each slightly different quirks/abilities.) Obviously for occult players!
Then, finally, give us an EP akin to generations for winter. This could include expanded school for kids and what not. It would also bring expanded babies!
