Doesn't sound good for Game and Stuffpacks cause they weren't mentioned.

They mentioned this before in their financial reports, but every piece of DLC are ''Expansion Packs'' to them.

No way they are going to release a ton of (real) EP's in 1 year of time. 2, MAYBE 3 at most.

I think what it meant are 2 EPs and 20 free content drops.

Thet probably doesn't mean the whole PC. They have a console, and mobile. For stuff packs, it won't surprise me they stop doing them entirely. Some were interesting, but a lot of them were meh.

Kate said stuffpacks weren't off the table yet.

I said it in another topic, but I personally hope we will get University, Island Paradise, and some kind of a romance pack. Also, some interactions I would like to see are tag (from TS3) and slow dancing.

I don't see them overhauling personalities. So, throw that one out, because it probably won't happen. Updated babies probably won't happen because the point is to make money, so, can't think of a pack where they would free babies from that object and stop putting them in inventory.
Cars...probably not, unless it's some sort of check list of your Sim going to different places inorder to level up on something. Maybe a picture of a car in a loading screen. Seriously, I think that.

University, maybe, but again more check lists on the good ol' pc, but this time housed in some dorm. Probably using the same objects from the GTW pack (like festivals use the base game objects) for science or math or whatever.

Tropical vacation, maybe, but they still won't work out your guest leaving the lot and going back home. I doubt we see swimming in oceans, but more collecting. Collect seashells....Yay... :s Probably a contest to see how many your Sim got and that freaking woman who shows up to give you something. lol

NPCs, of course, ones I never heard of. Looks like an exciting year doesn't it? Not.

Well we know nothing about the Sims 4 excites you but I'm looking forward to a year of awesome content! :p

Content is content, free or not, we'll be getting content this year, just like last year. What I'M more interested in knowing is which bugs will be fixed this year that haven't been fixed last year, or maybe even the year before that. I was told good things come to those who wait, and I've beeeen waiting, so fingers crossed!

Where did you hear *that*?

What i want to know more than any other thing here is... are we going to get a new pack before the new fiscal year?

Whoa, I missed that bit. Umm...that's quite low for a CEO salary.

> @Anmirla That's what I would assume. I think 20 is a very generous estimate if it was instances of brand new generated content, and EXTREMELY generous if it's free content via patches (this IS EA we're talking about here, and "free" is a bit of a dirty word there), so I think that 20 includes patch content and packs for PC and consoles. It depends on whether they qualify Mobile as one of their content platforms, and also whether they consider XBoxOne and PS4 as separate content drops. So in reality, it could actually be a fancy way for them to inflate their numbers without actually releasing an overwhelming amount of new content.

It does say across mobile, PC, and console so I doubt we're getting a lot.

It depends if they consider release of content for console after the same content releases on PC as two separate releases. Technically, when they release a pack on console even if it's been out for a while for PC (like Movie Hangout Stuff) it's new for that platform so it probably counts. Free Play wouldn't count though since it's technically not an EA product; it's just licensed to use the name The Sims.

I don't think anyone expects to see 20 paid content packs for The Sims 4 in FY 2020. But if we get a couple of SPs, a couple of GPs, and maybe up to two EPs in the next FY I'll be content (and so will my budget).

No kidding. That's $60,000 a year. Mid-level managers make more than that. I'd expect the developers make quite a bit more than that.
