I think Gamepacks will be limited to Refreshes now

When is the new roadmap for The Sims 4 coming?

Probably in the new year. I expect they divide these by the fiscal quarter so they can indicate patch content in it. (This is related to SEC regulations for publicly traded companies.)

As to the refresh not new theory, pretty sure they're not going to stop an income stream just for a free-update stream. If a new concept merits the GP size of pack, not a smaller or larger one, then I'm sure it'll end up a GP still. I'm just glad that there's enough income coming in from these packs to enable the free updates to older ones.

Simguru Ninja's Twitter banner is of Granite Falls so maybe OR is the next pack update.......

That would be great!

I hope they would improve dine out or parenting

Is it even confirmed that we continue to get refreshes? I remember two live streams ago when this question was asked, all they replied was that they saw that people really enjoyed the Spa Day refresh and although they want to be transparent, they will keep it a secret for now if there will be more refreshes. Spa Day could have just been an experiment to see if the increased sales are worth a pack refresh. Now I don't think they mentioned refreshes in the last stream, maybe I missed something.

With how things are, after Cottage Living, I feel like the creativity is just waning. To me, I thought Kits were just an experimental thing, I never thought they'd be anything of substance. Pack refreshers, I liked the idea because things have changed. As long as it updates for the better.

Hmmmm....Game Packs are supposed to keep to a more specific activity ie Camping, Dining so it makes sense to focus on Game Packs as I guess it's easier to spot where can be refreshed and expanded ie with Spa Day making money from Spa Activities and nails were major obvious winners.

That said there are some EPs in dire need for an update Island Living being the worst offender!

In an old survey from SimGuruFrost they had a list where you could pick three packs that you would like for them to refresh. So I always assumed that they would do three refreshes. But maybe you are right, maybe they just picked one of the most voted packs and they are not sure if they will do any more. They tend to be honest with us so maybe they are not even sure themselves right now.

If it is as you said, and they are waiting to see if refreshes increased sales, then that doesn't seem promising for future refreshes because they should have seen their sales numbers from that refresh by now.

@logion Yes, they should know by now whether the refresh increased sales or not. And this is why I assume they have been quiet about refreshes ever since the first one came out. I could be wrong of course and I am actually hoping that I am wrong because I would really like to see some more refreshes of existing packs in the future.

By any chance do you remember the outcome of the survey you mentioned?

@Peppers As far as I know, they never shared the outcome of that survey.

Here is a picture of the survey options.

I think you may be right because if you ask me... refreshes sounds like something that would be very popular with the community, but might not increase sales that much.

@logion Thanks for sharing the survey. It would be very interesting to know the results. Well, let's hope there will be some more refreshes in the future. Maybe it is like you said and they are just unsure themselves at the moment, which is also very possible.
