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.

SimGuruGrant has now officially confirmed that Seasons is not the last EP.

I know. You have just answered a very old message from me where I still expected EA to stop releasing packs for TS4 when TS5 is released. But even though that would be the traditional way I don’t believe at all anymore that this will happen this time. What I instead expect now is that EA as usually will release a new basegame (TS5) after 5 years but not stop making packs for TS4 anyway. The reasons for this change most likely are:
1. EA has always lost more than half of the current simmers every time EA has released a new basegame.
2. It is important though for EA to release a new basegame after 5 years because an old basegame with way too many already released packs don’t attract many new simmers.
3. EA wants as many games as possible to become multiplayer because that is usually what young gamers prefer and it gives also EA much better options for ingame advertising if the games are multiplayer and mainly online. But EA also know that older simmers likely won’t like this idea. So it is better to release more packs for TS4 even after TS5 has been released.
4. I think that EA mainly plans to let the Sims 5 developers make extra content for TS5 while the current Sims 4 devs likely just will continue to make new content for TS4 for a couple of more years. This also means that EA likely won’t start developing TS6 very soon and that TS5 therefore also according to EA’s plans will get a longer life than the big Sims games usually have had.
