Next Expansion Speculation?

For an EP to be released in near time ( a month or so) there should be an announcement this week, considering how long it took them to release Country Living after announcing it.

It's not looking likely to happen this week but maybe next week.

Why can't romance be generations? Makes sense to me.

Babies, teenage angst, romance, teenage grunge bands with drums, body hair, werewolves, and a new world seem doable. Cottage Living was complete fan service so this could be too.

Romance needs it's own pack cause so many romantic things are missing in this game.

I agree. If Romance are Generations, i think there will be few gameplay...

I have my money on a romance pack. But whatever it is, I just wish they would hurry up and announce it already, even if it won't be out until December or something (though I'm hoping for November). The suspense is killing me :D

I just wish they announced theme already cause I'm always stuck with my save hoping for romance and then its something completely unrelated p_p

I'm exactly the same. If a romance pack with an attraction system is coming, I want to wait until it is released before doing the bachelorette challenge for the fourth gen heiress of my legacy-bachelor challenge. So, I would like to know what the next pack is so that I don't end up waiting unnecessarily.

Ditto! I always do lots of planning in my game, and whatever theme is next I will probably do lots of organizing etc long befoe I start playing the game. Would appreciate so much to learn at least what theme is up, and perhaps just the main features, then I can gladly plan my game while waiting for the final release.

Also - if the theme is not something I will be very interested in, I'd still like to know it because the I can start planning other stuff for my game rather than wait for something I might not even get at release date.

How long does Sims 4 have before Sims 5 knocks on the door?!

Expansion packs are, historically, released within 5 months of each other. Since Cottage Living came out in July, I'm thinking whatever the next EP is will come out in December, and that we'll get an announcement for it in early November as Season of Selves is wrapping up. As for what it could be, a "Generations"-esque pack would make the most sense since it's at the top of a pretty huge portion of the community's wish list, and the theme would fit in with the familial sentiment that comes with the holiday season.

But that's also very 'On The Nose,' and I could see EA/Maxis going with something completely different (but NOT something that would tick off the community, since they'd want it to sell well bc holiday sales). I'm excited for whatever comes, tbh.

By The Sims 4's standards, yes. When looking at previous iterations, no.

I think it's kinda sad that the community set the bar so low nowadays for expansions. There shouldn't be any excuse why they can't combine themes like romance and Generations perfectly fine with sufficient gameplay.

It's just sad imo that we expect a seperate pack for everything nowadays since they can't live up to earlier standards anymore -for some odd reason-.

I just want an occult. I don't care about anything else. Occult players have once again gotten screwed this year.

I agree 100%. I was really holding out hope for an occult this year since it's been so long since we got even a sliver of gameplay. But it seems like we're going to have wait who knows how long for another one. :disappointed:

TS1 -> TS2: 4, almost 5 years.
TS2 -> TS3: 5 years.
TS3 -> TS4: 5 Years.

So we should be seeing the sims 5 by 2019 I would bet.
