I can understand why some people think it is VR (although I don't think that's what it is) because "experience" makes it sound like it will change how people play. I certainly hope it is new content and not something like an online component, or something of the sort.
Yes, 'experience' seems to imply more than content, and 'next' is definitely not the same as 'new'. 'Next', I think, implies something for the PC/console game, rather than a 'new' experience on a different gaming platorm. Marketing people aren't usually careless with words (except when they are) - we do a lot of our own marketing in my department, and we do debate words like 'next' and 'experience' as opposed to alternatives. In any case, they specifically said 'Sims 4', so it's definitely not Sims 5 or another spin-off.
