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.

I'd say by "normal" stuff it means things like University, maybe a revamped Generations to add more features for all ages (teens and elders need some attention), the Farming pack -- things that would be attractive to folks looking for everyday activity for their Sims. Then maybe they get into the wild and crazy stuff like supernaturals and the stuff on the poll. As long as we're able to turn off the features (I don't want End of the World to affect all my saves) I'm fine.

You answered a message that I wrote before I saw that Grant plans new content for TS4 “for years”. But this changes everything because I still don’t believe that the next big Sims game is several years away. Therefore I now have to think about how EA likely will continue to release new content for TS4 even years after TS5 has been released and what this means for TS5.

I don’t think that “normal” just means repetitions of old “traditional” packs though. But it likely means packs and content that they already have decided to make.

By 'normal,' he meant packs that are not 'whacky' like the ones in his poll. Which would definitely include some traditional packs. Remember, he started by asking about whacky expansions, then explained to a simmer who likes reality-based packs that we will get more normal ones first:

Context is everything. B)
