My predictions for the new Game / Expansion packs

What’s your hopes & predictions on the new Expansion / Game packs? Here’s mine....

With the new game pack being a ‘major first’ for the Sims franchise, the only themes which seem possible to me are: Space Exploration, Farming or some kind of old-fashioned, time period pack?

The new expansion pack will be a ‘surprise’ to us but not necessarily something that’s new to the franchise. I’d hope for Generations but I’m thinking it will probably be: More supernaturals, a Resort/ Hotel pack with snow activities focus or a Nightlife pack with cars included. I’m less convinced of the nightlife idea cause we have Get Together & City Living but I still don’t feel as though the nightlife element is fully covered?
  • Judging by the recent survey I have a feeling it will be generations based, with a big focus on teenagers

    For the GP, I'm not sure but maybe farming pack since so many asked for it.


    The June/summer EP will definitely NOT be the winter themed resort. They only had questions about it on the survey at the beginning of the year. There's no way they'd have enough time to create it. It might come in the 2nd EP for the year if there is one, usually around November, or possibly early 2021 if their release schedule plans had to be adjusted.


    They talked about a winter themed pack back in 2019 so it’s very possible it could be one of the packs coming up....

    Superhero is also possible.


    Yeah!
  • I would love some kind of Castaway scenario, but I don't think it will ever happen this generation. Shame. The Sims 2: Castaway was my favorite game on the PS2 and to this day I regret selling my PS2 because of that one game. If they made the same thing for TS4, I'd be a happy camper.

    I can see more supernaturals, namely fairies and werewolves.

    In regards to old-fashioned/time period packs, I would like Ancient Egypt and Rome/Greece.

    A Ski Resort would be cool, so we could build a replica of the hotel in The Shining.

  • I thought I saw a couple years ago on a survey that they had an idea for a mountian/ snow world and you could explore caves and stuff, I feel like that might be a possible pack, the only thing is that the next EP is summer and I’m not sure they would release a snowy pack during summer, I wish tho.

    I agree!

    That was only in... mid-November, I think. While March and April have *felt* like they were years long (and May looks to follow suit for at least some places) it wasn't that long ago. Barely six months. Though I suppose it does depend on how far into production they were when the Survey went out and the size of the pack. A game pack about half way through production could be the Game Pack this fall, but I don't think a Wnter Retreat counts as something never done before. I highly doubt it's the expansion pack, though.
