How many more packs before Sims 5?
Yes I know the Sims 4 is a "service game" but the Sims 5 is as inevitable as me ordering pizza at 1am (this happens more then I care to admit) and with 30 packs to its name I suspect an upper limit ex...

It seems that with each new pack, more and more bugs develop in this game. They put out fixes for some, but many seem to evade the devs’ attempts to solve them (or they’re not trying). It feels more difficult to play now than it did a few packs ago. A lot has started to go wrong in my game that never did before (I play without CC on a high-spec iMac that’s only a few years old). It’s reminding me of the problems that persisted in sims 3 from early on for Mac users - the game kept crashing and freezing. I couldn’t play Into the Future as it kept crashing my game after a few minutes. I feel the sims 4 is going the same way.
I speak entirely as a layman (!!), but it feels like though they may want to keep adding years and years worth of packs (more profits for them for less effort), the game probably won’t be able to handle it. The bugs are increasing already - how many more packs before the game is an unplayable mess like sims 3 was?
For this reason, I imagine it won’t go past 2020. I think next year may be the Sims 4’s last, with the Sims 5 coming sometime in 2021. That will have meant sims 4 went for nearly 7 years, which is incredibly long lifespan for a sims game.
Nov 2019: Expansion pack
Spring 2020: Game or Stuff Pack (or both?)
Summer 2020: Expansion pack
Autumn 2020: game or stuff pack
Winter 2020: last expansion pack
So I reckon 5 more packs (they may obviously squeeze in a few more stuff packs).

In terms of Sims 5 announcement, I reckon we may start to see hints/announcements at next summer’s E3 or the EA expo (I forget the name of it).
