Do you think we will get another expansion this year?

I won’t be surprised if Seasons even becomes the very last EP for the Sims 4. But I expect EA to release both an SP and a GP too this year.

You must have missed this tweet:

No, I didn’t miss it. But where does it say that those are EPs for TS4? Maybe only one of them will ever be released and then it could be a GP for TS4 or maybe even some pack for TS5?

Grant specifically clarified later that the poll is for TS4 and not TS5.

I notice two things:
1. He said pack and not expansion pack. So we don’t know what kind of pack it will be.
2. “After some normal stuff” likely means after the packs they make in the rest of 2018 or just after one of those packs. So it could be some extra pack they will make while we wait for TS5 to be released.

Grant specifically said “a more whacky expansion”. He used “pack” later cause you know, expansion packs are also packs. And don’t forget Grant is the lead producer on expansion packs and he specifically work on expansion packs. SimGuruNinja is the one who’s in charge of game packs.

Even a stuff pack takes close a year to make anyway (as is evident from the community stuff pack project). Any TS4 packs they haven’t started to make won’t be released until mid-2019 at the earliest.

Grant works on both GPs and EPs. Therefore we can’t know for sure. He describes himself as “the lead producer of the Sims 4 managing multiple product teams as well as special teams”.

Now he has made some confusing statements which people can interpretate as they wish and which some simmers surely will interpretate as TS5 not even being in the beginning of its development yet. But I can’t imagine that EA is ready to give up on making big Sims games if another company should make an attempt to steal a big part of the market. (This isn’t Grant’s decision at all though - but a decision for EA’s top to make.)
