Do you think EP University is coming next fall/winter?

I’m literally all good. I need nothing more from this game, and am actually, kind of, at a point where I genuinely enjoy it. Though I do not play it as much as TS2, I like to check in with my families at least once a day, which for TS4 and me is a good thing.

Depending on how good these packs are, witches will change that so I’ll either like it more or I won’t touch it again and wait for TS5.

But anyway, yay! For once I’m excited for a pack (my last was vampires, I still love that I hope these are as good). It feels good to say that about the sims again.

Coming from you that is indeed good to hear ;) glad you're having fun with this game. After all this time, that must come as a relief.

Considering how popular University is, yeah, I think it should be coming up next year, hopefully. :smile:

Haha was waiting for somebody to say this.

Yeah, I’m genuinely enjoying the game now I won’t lie. It still annoys me, and I’m still going to keep pointing out the things I don’t like but currently there aren’t many, just some of the smaller ones (no step/in law relations etc) but I can over look them.

All in all, I have PEPS again. It’s a good feeling haha

PEPS, both the best and worst thing about the Sims ?

And yes, there are absolutely still things that need tweaking or that I'd like to see added (like why are there no godparents in our Sims games? I'd really enjoy that xD), but the important thing is that we're having fun even if some of that stuff is missing. I'm honestly glad TS4 finally managed to get to a state where that's possible again for many of us. It was about time.

I hope for everyone's sake university is coming and soon. I do hope though, that they do more than just university. Even if it's a very rudimentary system, I'd love to be able to attend school for all stages: kids, teens, and young adults in University. I think that would make a great pack!

University would be in the fall I think.

We had 2 expansion packs and 2 game packs in 2015 (Get to Work & Get to Together) (Outdoor Retreat & Spa Day)
We had 1 expansion pack and 1 game pack in 2016 (City Living) (Dine Out)
We had 1 expansion pack and 2 game packs in 2017 (Cats and Dogs) (Vampires & Parenthood)
We had 2 expansion packs and 1 game pack in 2018 (Seasons & Get Famous) (Jungle Adventure)
So far in 2019, 1 expansion pack and 2 game packs ( Island Living) (Strangeville & Realm of Magic)

There are two times that we had two expansions in one year. In 2015 they were like 8 months a part.
Last year 2018 they were 5 months apart BUT we only had one game pack.
We already have two game packs for this year.

However since the release of sims 4 we have never not had an expansion pack in November/December as its a good sales period.
So maybe is a new pace in terms of releases (like in 2015) and we will see University in November/December

I am fairly confident an expansion will come out in November/December
I worry that despite how we think its logical that it is University next. It could not be.

I am hoping that this is the point in the story where I lose hope just before the thing I've always wanted happens and University comes out because I am starting to think its not happening this year.

That’s what I was thinking/hoping too. December would be a perfect month for another Expansion Pack

They’ve had November EP’s every year since 2015, so I’m counting on an EP in November this year, as well. And I’m really, really hoping it’s University/ Education, though Farming would be okay too.

I’m so looking forward to an education pack!

My guess is that University will be the expansion pack after Island Living, probably in November. That's after the 6 months ends for 1 expansion, stuff pack, and game pack announcement. And they have been releasing an expansion in November if I'm remembering correctly. University seems like the next logical expansion pack to me. It's the most hyped expansion pack. The second most hyped expansion pack seems to be a tropical pack and we're getting that this month. It actually makes sense: tropical pack in summer. Magic stuff pack a little before Halloween. A stuff pack sandwiched in between. And then a University expansion in the late fall. University gives me a fall vibe. Of course, school typically starts around September, but it makes more sense to release the magic themed pack before Halloween rather than after it. So, this way they're still releasing the University pack around fall, but the magic game back still gets to be before Halloween. Right now everyone's just getting out of school and is done with it I guess? It makes sense for them to release the tropical ep first in that case.
I don't know. I think that University is the next EP.

IMO earliest maybe late winter or early spring next year.

Seeing as next Fall is going to be featuring the release of realm of magic, I don't see them releasing another EP, since imo it'd make sense to have RoM to have some decent exposure on it's own.

Realm of Magic is a GP -- back in April Lyndsay announced we'd get an EP, an SP and a GP in the first 6 months of the fiscal year (April-October). So we could still see a second EP in late November for the holiday shopping season since only EPs get actual printed boxes (containing a redeemable code rather than a physical disk as in Sims 2 and 3 days), then another GP and SP in early 2020 (Jan-Mar) to finish off the fiscal year.

Here's a possible idea: we get Island Living now, then University in the fall. If in early 2020 they come up with a GP that allows us to build/run hotels or inns/B&Bs (like restaurants in Dine Out), you could build an inn in Sulani and bingo! Spring break! B)
