It's possible (and likely) I'm reading waayyy too much into things, but today SimGuruGeorge and SimGuruRad posted the new tshirt designs for EAPlay on Twitter. While half were Seasons, the other half are all color variations of a sims hula dancer, unless that's related to Sims Mobile/Freeplay in some way or something previous, but I can't find it. They're not going to showcase a sim doing something sims can't do. I noticed in April that SimGuruNinja, one of the gamepack gurus, said he'd choose Isla Paradiso as the Sims place he'd choose to live forever in. Also a couple months back, notorious troll SimGuruGeorge posted a pic of cupcakes for the office, and all were ocean/sea shell themed. Although all the hype is for Seasons right now, I realized we're due for a Gamepack soon. So...Island Vacation pack? Maybe, hopefully? :D Or I'm just suffering a severe case of confirmation bias.

If you believe in hints there's been far more hints that the next GP is most likely to be a Witches one. However who knows what the team will actually do they've surprised us in the past.

That would be super awesome! I adored Isla Paradiso despite all the glitches. I just felt so happy playing there with my mermaids and witches.

I would love a nice tropical Island getaway!

Next GP possibly an Island pack? | EA Forums

I suspect they won't do an island pack right after a vacation pack and a seasons/weather pack. I'm guessing whatever's next is in some other category entirely.

Even if they don't I hope a Pool Stuffpack is coming Next Quarter cause we need more items for pools. Seasons is adding pool parties.

I think your right. Lately there have been a lot of beach themes.

While I do think it would make sense to follow up with an island world where you could go to the beach, I don't think they would do it so soon because of how people reacted to the "my first pet" pack. They'd probably release Witches GP near september/october as halloween would be coming up.

People will relate anything to anything, there already relating my first pet stuff to spooky stuff for seasons.

I would rather have an old fashioned traveling-type carnival with the clown and spooky roller coasters from S1 and a small, rickety Ferris wheel and all those sideshows and carney games to win cheap prizes. I think those would offer a lot more fun than a huge amusement park.

A Zoo Park would be nice. You could add amusement rides to that. Also a Petting Zoo.

IDK... Get Together and City Living used to be the same pack in Sims 3.

Barnacle Bay returns...

I remember that some people found icons in the game files last year that hinted Cats & Dogs, Seaons, Firefighters, Cops, Robbers, Barnacle Bay-ish stuff (pirates, treasures) + beach stuff and other things...

Personally, if a seaside theme pack was to be added, I'd rather something like this:
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/941706/gothic-seaside-holiday-and-carnival

You've already got a hot, tropical jungle destination in Selvadorada. It's time for an unpleasantly English, gothic seaside town. Or maybe somewhere wintery. What about an Aussie alpine getaway?

Though, I wouldn't be surprised if there was to be a pool/beach stuff pack added.

These things are missing in EP05 Seasons :

Lounge chair
Sunburn / Suntan
Sunbathing
Beach lot

I imagine they keep them for a Summer Vacation pack.

Wouldn't mind this at all. As long as we get a new world/mini world like vampires. They could add an island with a beach and rockclimbing, and some fire shows/beach entertainment like in Bon Voyage. Remember: Selvadorada had a jungle zone with no loading screens, and different places you "teleport" to. I'd like this done on an island setting, or some beautiful Bali-like place with super clear waters and beautiful sunsets.

If this is true I'm kind of hoping for something like the Apocalypse challenge where you 'repopulate' an area that's been abandoned. But a regular holiday is still something I want to see, maybe some kind of tropical resort of a skiing resort.
