"New Sims Experience" theories

They deleted the original tweet and tweeted out "Here's your chance to play our next Sims 4 experience" to make it more clear that they will be showcasing something for TS4 (and not Mobile or TS5). So here's my little bit of speculation:

The fact that they'll be showcasing the "next Sims 4 experience" at EA Play, and the fact that this quarterly teaser is conspicuously absent, I think this could mean one of two possibilities;
1. There won't be any paid packs this quarter, but there will be a large patch which is big enough to warrant showing off at EA Play (even bigger than toddlers perhaps??)
2. They are changing up their "one EP per year released around Christmas" formula. We could be seeing a surprise EP this quarter, but the marketing team don't want it to be announced in a quarterly teaser, but with a proper announcement (both CL and Cats and Dogs had already been announced before the quarter they were released in, so the few seconds that they were featured for in the quarterly teasers weren't the first we had heard of them). This EP (if this is indeed what is happening) is the only pack for this quarter, hence no need for a quarterly teaser. It will probably be announced sometime in May, with a release around June, probably just after EA Play, where it will be playable before release.

Of course, it could be Option 3 - there is no notable new content for this quarter, just bug fixes in small monthly patches. But it would be strange to me that they would be hyping up the fact that they'll be showcasing the "next Sims 4 experience" at EA Play if this is the case, so it seems more likely to me that something notable is coming, we'll have to wait and see what it is.

Again, just finishing off with a little disclaimer that this is just pure speculation. We'll see what this quarter brings. :)

I actually think we aren’t getting anything this quarter, but we are getting an announcement of the EP. I think an EP is dropping in July.

That’s why we don’t have a quarterly teaser. Nothing is coming.

It would make sense if they used EA Play to show off the EP and have the release date for July. I think if the release date was June, we’d probably have a huge idea of what the EP was so there’d be no huge point to use EA Play as a platform.
