Omg we're getting 2 more Expansion Packs

[CM edit - removed Twitter link as this is consider a sketchy user] i visited this place because of the updater and i stumbled into this and it mentioned 2 more Expansion Packs

I honestly only expected 2 Expansion Packs in a year (sometimes even only 1) not 3 Expansion Packs😅😅

I wonder what this upcoming Expansion Pack is gonna be about but i bet it isn't gonna be based on forming a music band like i thought it did but i do hope it's gonna be based on a summer themed world

I made this one awhile back Hotel pack ideas | EA Forums - 12023771 i shared things what they can do and i think based on my ideas Expansion Pack match better than a Game Pack

I stumbled into this Sims 4 Ocean Exploration expansion pack [Aquariums, scuba diving and houseboats] | EA Forums - 11979526 in which it reminds me of a survey from last year and this year, i give it a like because i love the idea of things that isn't made in The Sims 4 before

or like maybe some sort of a water park or something

i hope it's either a hotel/resort themed pack, open ocean/underwater themed pack or some sort of a water park themed pack

What do you guys think the 19th Expansion Pack is all about or atleast hope we're gonna get?

Again i only expected to have 2 Expansion Packs instead of 3, my bad i got my hopes up about getting the music band pack as the 19th Expansion Pack😅😅 (i heard later in fall this year we'll get a music band pack, i hope they implement it well though)

  • I'm hoping we don't get another EP before August.😧 I'm a slow player and haven't fully explored LS, L&D and B&H. 

  • I can well believe that we might get another EP this summer (maybe July again?), with a third in November (I think that’ll be a bands one). But I think we’re getting too many packs and it’s starting to get overwhelming now, especially given all the kits that keep coming out. It’s almost impossible to keep up. And each EP seems to break something important, yet they seem to have reduced the amount of resources going into fixing those bugs. The recent ‘fix’ for HSY has left me feeling concerned about what’s happening — they didn’t actually fix the old HSY UI (which used to work fine), but instead replaced it with the holidays UI that wasn’t designed for that. The result is far inferior to how HSY used to work.

    I’m torn because I love the game, and I love the new content we’ve been getting. But I think less content, produced more slowly, and with more resources going into fixing the inevitable bugs surely has to be a better way to go.

  • I agree with simgirl1010​ and FreddyFox1234​ that 3 EP this year is too much. I am a slow player and like to take my time actually playing through a new pack. Add in distractions from other DLC and occasionally just building, and I am not done with one EP before I get the next. On top of that the game is getting huge and bloated with so many gameplay systems and an overwhelming amount of build buy and cash assets. I just don't have the time to use it all. This game doesn't need 3 of the biggest packs each year, every year. I still haven't been though life and death and have plenty of businesses I want to establish before I want to plan for a new pack. 

    On top of that there is the stability of the game. Every big patch breaks at least one feature, with little chance of a fix. The bug where people's saves are getting corrupted because the game can't handle the amount of objects on lots is a sign that this game is reaching it's limits. 

  • i have to admit they're going a little too fast for an expansion pack

    they should work on an already existing packs and even improve basegame and not just a little bit but way more improvements since it isn't in balance and it isn't just me, i see lots of comments the game is unstable at this moment even for basegame (rightfully so) so i definitely agree the team should work on the basegame and the already existing pack before bringing new packs

    they should work on making the game more stable first before bringing new packs

  • I'm hoping that this is true and that these will be the next two expansion packs released this year: 

    • Vehicle World
    • Hotel/Resort 

     

    Definitely would buy both.  

  • I have skipped three out of the last four EPs…Adding only Life & Death to my game.  If we are actually getting two more EPs this year, I would personally be most interested in the following themes from the past EP surveys:

    1. Post-Apocalyptic Survivor
    2. Gritty City
    3. Coastal Town & Ocean World

     

    Or, if not one of those themes, I would like to see:

    1. Fairy EP that also includes a Plant Sim update
    2. And although admittedly unlikely….I still would like to see a more expansive Hobby EP like TS2’s FreeTime. I thought that “Businesses & Hobbies” would fill that void. However, the hobby aspect of that pack was so incredibly disappointing to me.
