You know what would be crazy? If we got another EXPANSION after Get Famous and Seasons.They did say they changed up their production. Maybe they now once again have 2 EP production teams like during the Sims 3 era to simultaneously develop EPs.Meaning that the team that developed Seasons is about to finish another EP, while the other team just released Get Famous.Besides that we got these dubious voice actor recordings for future content...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f-I7HINcY6A

I'm not really that confident about seeing a third expansion pack in a row. You see, based on the simlish voice clippings if we were to get a third EP in a row it would be either a tropical pack or a Witches (not Supernatural) EP. Both of them being unlikely to be prioritized against something like University.

I wouldn't consider GF as an expansion. It was a GP sold at EP prices. But I think you could be right, they probably have something of GP size they are going to pass off as another EP.

A tropical pack would be nice, maybe with some nice lots to choose from, have trees made to hold homes.

EAxis does like to do cash grabs but selling a GP as an EP is not how cash grabs are done.

@SinaMegapolis Given that witches/magic has been present in every Sims series to date, and also given the distinct lack of supernaturals in TS4, as well as the constant requests for witches and more supernaturals, I would be extremely hard pressed to make the claim that a university pack would take immediate priority over a witches/magic pack. You also have to look at the past year or so in terms of the content packs. The past two EPs have been Seasons and Get Famous, and both of them are "normal" and everyday life content packs, neither breaking the boundaries into territory that in theory isn't achievable in real, everyday life. Then the other packs last year were also in this same vein, where none of them were predominantly supernatural (even though some had splashes, like Jungle Adventure). Either way, the point I'm making is that there hasn't been a dedicated supernatural themed pack since Vampires, whereas we've had tons of packs for other parts of daily life. It's been well over a year since Vampires, so I would honestly say that a new supernatural pack should take priority over other packs.

@TheGreatGorlon I'm not saying that University always takes priority against Witches, I'm saying that a University EP always takes priority against a (only) Witches EP. Sure EAxis may as well do a Witches GP first but that case doesn't apply here. And i don't see EAxis making an Expansion Pack dedicated only to Witches unless we don't see Witches as Occults but rather as People who have a skill in dwelling with magic.

@SinaMegapolis If you're talking about EPs, then yes, I wouldn't expect Witches to be a fully fleshed out EP, and I would agree that University would take priority. I thought you were saying a University EP would take priority over a Witches GP.

Well Kate's statement a while ago implied that they aren't working on any GPs or SPs, so a third EP in a row doesn't seem too odd. And I feel that if we were getting anything other than an EP, we would have heard about it by now. If nothing is announced by the end of this month, my bet is that the next pack will be another EP.

They could release Witches alongside Werewolves and Fairies, all three popular life states. And add a new creepy forest world for them. That would be enough for an EP, especially if they fully fledge them out.
I honestly don't think they are going to release a GP for every life state, so a Supernatural EP would be possible.

Yes. A Supernatural EP is totally possible. (and honestly the only pack i want now after University and another Vacation pack) What i was saying was that i don't see a Witches EP likely to happen.
