I'm fine with the number we have. I mean, eventually you reach a point where you're creating a completely different type of game.

Got 1 pack in 4 years, the way they make packs are bias as day.
Alien is half baked, plantsims is a buff a buff like skeleton is a debuff!, can't even create ghost in cas 4 years later yet they force a weather attire in cas.
Many of the packs are questionable like laundry day(who wants to do it virtual?) This is why the sims 4 flop because of bad decisions.

Obviously, everyone plays differently. No two players play the same. Just because you don't want werewolves, or say, laundry, in a pack doesn't mean other players don't. Part of this game is waiting for whatever your thing is even when others get what they want first. And Supernatural stuff brings a huge amount of players in. Taking the supernaturals out of the Sims, or vice versa, makes it lose some of its charm. Personally, I want both. Witches washing clothes, Werewolves taking their cats to the vet, Vampires sucking on the necks of the cities homeless population... Ok, took it a bit too far, sorryboutthat.
But I love the game because it is my prerogative to do that if I want.

And frankly, EA would probably lose money between the number of players leaving from them being separated and the cost to make it.

You just have to wait your turn for whatever you really want like everyone else, unfortunately.

Except slice of life content is currently overwhelming supernatural themes.
Yes people play differently but when I look up packs I like it's 1.5 supernatural pack/theme while there are like 15+ slice of life packs.
It's very obvious bias is put toward one side.

Or maybe I have too much high expectations since the sims 3 seem to make vary a thing.
I did have 1300+hrs on sims 3 while sims 4 like 100hrs due to imitations

I try not to be biased, but I CERTAINLY agree more occult Sims are due. Especially witches. I have a huge appreciation for them in real life. Whether they are out of Oz or just wiccan...

Just trying to make a point. We all want something out of the game and we all have to wait, unfortunately, for the bosses to decide.

Seasons just came out, and I am willing to bet it is going to be the last bit of paid content we get until November or early December.
And I am willing to bet that this November or early December GP (or EP, although I think it's unlikely) is another Slice of Life thing. Some Education thing. Active School perhaps. Similar to the GTW active careers, but for kids and teens.
I previously speculated for a Witches GP this September, until someone pointed at the Supernatural Polls on Twitter, and that this means they were in the process of deciding what Occult to do next. Since Witches Won, I expect a Witches GP to be released in summer to Fall 2019.

I doubt it for one reason: There will have only been 1 release in 7 months.
They aren't going to do that. Going half a year with one release and no other news would be dumb on their parts. I bet there will be a release early in the next quarter, maybe even next month. And if the next thing they release is occult, it'll definitely be out before Halloween.

I do admit that I could be wrong. In fact, I have been wrong before. (I predicted that Toddlers would return as paid content, rather than a free update like how they actually came) I would certainly love to be wrong here. I want Witches to be a Thing today rather than tomorrow. I absolutely hate the fact that I could be right, or worse, that there could be no more occults besides temporary buffs like skeletons and plantsims.
Unfortunately, there is no hint, tease or anything like that to suggest an Occult GP for September or any Pack for that matter.

The Polls on twitter either means nothing, which I highly doubt, which would mean we have no idea if we will ever get a proper occult ever again, or it means that the devs were in a decision process what pack to create now, already decided that they want to repeat what they did with Vampires GP and used that poll to choose an occult.
Since packs take roughly a year from concept to release, we can look forward to a Witches GP in the second half of 2019.
For September or October, I personally don't expect more than what we got in August. Some SP at most.

@Writin_Reg
My main point was a lack of occult and didn't approach the slice of life bias-ism.
Also those twitter polls were very limited to begin with, I highly doubt anyone would've voted for laundry if there was more options.
Also EA is doing terrible so going off their sales is a not so good thing.

You know they didn't do the vote for the community pack over a twitter poll, right? There were quite a few options for what the stuff pack would be about. But also stuff packs are limited.

There were two polls about a month ish or so ago from SimguruGrant asking which occults we'd like to see in the future. Witches won with Mermaids next and I can't remember the others and how they did.

So, they're definitely thinking about other occults, it's just all about... when ...they finally release them. Just try to hold on a little longer, OP. :3 I am very excited for when they finally release witches, because I agree, we definitely need more!

I would love occult EP, I'm missing witches, allot of people are pagean and a witch sims would be perfect for that :) maybe not realistic for some but for others it would add some realism to the game!

Does anyone know why there is a lack of them? Did I miss a memo why this is?
I really enjoyed this aspect of simming. Does anyone know if there are any rumors of adding more?
I am saddened by Sims4 version of a Plantsim.

They are no longer a tradition in EP's on TS4. Honestly the community is sitting here, waiting for another occult GP or Magic EP.

Occult as in?
There are aliens, and there are vampires, and as far as I know and have experienced, there are some form of ghosts. What was there missing as opposed and compared to the latter versions of the game? The beings in TS3 Supernatural? TS2 didn't really have much, either, but I suppose that's why you'd consider it a predecessor too.

As in a lifestate..... -.-

Yeah TS2 didn't have much, a side from...

Ghosts
Servos
Aliens
Witches
Vampires
Werewolves
Plantsims
Bigfoot
Zombies
Ginnies
