Why can't simmers get a concrete answer about what's coming or at least when it will be announced. It's always a guessing game that tends to last waaaayyy too long. Then the guessing game only sets us up for disappointment because ideas of what might be coming just build up and up for months since we have nothing specific to look forward to.

I understand not being able to say certain things like specific themes/contents, but not being able to say "hey guys, next announcement will come at EA Play" is tiring. The only concise but if info we've gotten is that 3 packs are coming in the next 6 months. I wish they would be willing to be less vague. I miss the quarterly teasers we used to get

Ever since they took away the quarterly teasers, I don't see the hype in this forum anymore. All the packs were slow release and those teasers actually gave me a vague idea on what to expect from the next coming pack and not to mention it was also fun to speculate here while waiting, but now the wait has become more of an annoyance than anticipation.

sims who got the base game for free welcoming party:

Exactly. What was once exciting has become a huge waste of time because EA can't see the problem from our point of view. And with the newest influx of Simmers, thanks to EA giving away free copies of the base game, EA does not care how we feel. If we are tired of waiting for the content they told us to expect, we can just leave the franchise. That is the way they see it. If we can't blindly and mutely accept all the empty assurances EA has spouted for months on end, EA does not want to deal with us. I mean, when did it become a bad thing to be loyal to a game for almost nineteen years, and expect a bit of loyalty in return? Holy cow, I have spent thousands of dollars over the years purchasing every pack and DLC EA had to offer, as well as purchasing newer computers and hardware in order to play. Sure, that was my choice and I accept that. EA didn't have to twist my arm and force me to play the Sims. But somewhere along the line one has to stop and say, ' Hey, enough is enough. ' EA is a huge company with thousands of employees, and resources we can only imagine at their disposal. Yet they can't deliver what we were told to expect. I did not expect to see those three new packs released one after the other but I did expect some info on them before now. That is all we want right now. We want information. EA is a game publisher. Games are supposed to be fun and exciting. EA has managed to strip all the fun out of waiting for new content to be released by going disturbingly silent yet again. Sims4 will turn five years old on September 2 of this year. I can't believe it's been five years, in some ways it feels like ten. All I can say is I hope the newest Simmers have a lot of patience because they're going to need it.

I know they announced a while back that there will be no more quarterly teasers, but did they give a specific reason why?

This silence is killing all the fun...
EA should get inspired by Paradox, they are very transparent about future content.

They said something like it didn't really make sense anymore going forward with the ways they are going to release/deliver content or whatever blablabla that was.

As far as I know some quarters would be without any paid content so the teasers were made redundant...it's a shame in my opinion, they kept the forums a bit more lively

350 new swatches sounds nice. After years of spending money for packs, hoping that with the next pack I will finally be able to create an outfit or set of furniture with matching colors, it really is a necessary step.

But honestly, it sounds like an enormous conservation effort for a system that was dead from the beginning and will still not satisfy anybody who had asked for a color wheel five years ago.
