I would still like to know weather we can expect a pack in the next few months or if we arn't getting anything until winter
because thats a real possibility

I am going to predict that we will get a pack in November or December. Because I am a loser, I made a note of the gap between all EP and GP releases historically (ignored SPs, because I do not buy those) and on average there is a gap of 4.5 months between one EP or GP being released and the next one coming out. Seasons came out at the end of June. So, 4.5 months after that would be around November or December, particularly as they will want to release something in time for Christmas. I could be wrong though. There have been much longer gaps with no EP or GP, but I am being optimistic.

ETA:

Outdoor retreat: 1/2015
Get to work: 3/2015 (2 months since previous pack)
Spa Day: 7/2015 (4 months since previous pack)
Get together: 8/2015 (1 month since previous pack)
Dine out: 6/2016 (10 months since previous pack)
City Living: 11/2016 (5 months since previous pack)
Vampires: 1/2017 (2 months since previous pack)
Parenthood: 5/2017 (4 months since previous pack)
Cats and dogs: 11/2017 (6 months since previous pack)
Jungle adventure: 2/2018 (3 months since previous pack)
Seasons: 6/2018 (4 months since previous pack)

Average: 4.4 months between EPs and GPs
Next pack: 11/2018

As you can see there were some long gaps, but also some shorter gaps too. So, perhaps averaging may not entirely work. We will see, though.

But if Seasons doesn't impress players or give them enough gameplay to "hold them over" until the next shiny object falls from the sky, then chances are, the next unknown pack won't either.

For me the huge problem with this game is the personalities. Until they don't fix that, they can add whatever to the game but it will never feel complete.

I can't argue with that. :)

well I think since they said there would be empty quarters that this would have to be one because its not gonna be in the Holiday season
when everyone is getting gifts right? I mean that would be pretty crazy if they did that

Good point, but what if the next quarter is also one of those dry quarters? Nothing but an interview with a game changer and or more gallery fixes/updates? That would be a very long time to wait for even a stuff pack.

but then they would miss out on Holiday shoppers no one who sells stuff wants to miss out on that
even car adds that time of year have big red ribbons on the cars so I think that would be really strange if they didn't
release at least a game pack @Cinebar
