I'm guessing a Generations type EP, and still think maybe future GP though it's not a theme I'm personally interested in.

I think Alpine and Farming are coming but maybe as the two eps in 2021, not quite yet.

This better come with cars with garages and selectable babies with strollers

I'm just guessing with my predictions.
I personally have no interest in cars and think that if they were added they would be a seperate pack, not the Alpine/Farming/Future one. Probably a game pack instead.
Babies I think will come in a free update at some point

You can already exclude

• Horses
  
• Fairies
  
• Werewolves
  
• Zombies
  
• Amusement Park (SimGuruDuke exclude it)
  

From the surveys, there are still

• Roadtrip (Car feedback in 2017)
  
• Superheroes
  
• Real TV
  

I'm going to make a slight argument that Faeries or Werewolves could be coming if they were done in some new/unique way, possibly involving significant mesh alterations, as opposed to adding wolfman hair or wings. Something building off of mermaids, but still different somehow.

But I'm not actually expecting either of them to be in the upcoming game pack.

Eh GP on just horses would be boring. I am hoping for zombies or werewolves this year. Horses would help an animal husbandry EP sell better. Just don't want a MFP type of deal again for just one animal. It gets dull fast. I wouldn't mind a safari GP.

Personally I don't think they'd do a GP solely relating to horses but if they did, I wouldn't mind if it included horse riding, tricks, vaulting, jumping, ponies for kids, horse care, stables etc. There's potentially enough for a GP if combined together but wouldn't really thematically fit into an EP revolving around more farm-related animal care.
(it could potentially involve metalwork crafting of things like hooves, swords, knives, etc.)

see i would love the horse pack like that... it would be super cool to me... but i do doubt it comes sigh... i would love this so much though... i miss horses so much...

But if the EP is released in June count forward and the three pack announcement covers six months which gets us up to month Dec. June-Nov. I'm not sure there will be another EP in 2020.

April post -> Six next months, it's enough explicit. Or they would have announced "The Sims 4 Line Up for 2020"

In April 2019, it was the same thing.
SimGuruGraham also confirmed the count began in April.

Keep in mind EA think in term of quarters

Q1 April, May, June
Q2 July, August, September
Q3 October, November, December
Q4 January, February, March

I understand their quarters. But they just announced what is coming in the next six months.. June-Nov. Do you really believe there will be an EP in Dec., too? I doubt it.

They announced that at the start of April. "Next 6 months starting now" the same way they did last year.
So the roadmap is April, May, June, July, August, September. Not 6 months from the first released pack on the roadmap.

You are missing the point they named the three type packs right? No titles but what type. Well, the first of those is to be released in June or did I miss a release in April and May? June is the first of that announcement that only leaves five more months of the six month roadmap if the first is released in June.

"I thought I might give you a little preview of what you can expect from us over the next six months." Posted in the blog on April 6th.

Similarly, on April 9th 2019, the blog post said: "Over the next six months, we’ll be bringing you a new expansion pack, game pack, and stuff pack!". The first one of those packs wasn't released until June. And then we got DU in November, which was past those 6 months.

I'm not missing the point. The point is that the timeframe doesn't start from the first release, it starts from when the blog is posted.

From the surveys, these themes are still available :

• Roadtrip (Car ?)
  
• Superheroes
  
• Real TV
  
• Farming (EP ???)
  
• Happy Haunts (Grim Reaper career)
  

Oh I hope it is farming, superheroes, or happy haunts. I could see zombies work with happy haunts, so I don't think it is impossible for there not to be a supernaturals. I wouldn't mind satyrs for a new supernaturals. Could be anything even zoos. Roadtrip I would hope for their to be RVs that cars could pull around. But yes farming would be a first for the DLC packs since it was only available for the Sims 3 store. If werewolves or zombies are done, I hope they aren't done like the Sims 3 version of them. iZombie was a cool new take on zombies.

6 Month Roadmap

Well, ok but I'm not holding my breath this time to see if Dec. brings a new EP. LA just announced another three months stay at home orders, CA isn't opening up much in the next three months. I assume many more people have to work from home if they have a job that can do that. That might affect whether it falls like 2019 or not. And I will just add it makes me shutter to read things like a new GP will be a major first for them...never been done before sort of pack. I think I have wound up not liking those as much so far.

Unless we get unicorns.

Agreed. I will never accept a horse pack unless I can have a pretty unicorn. I want actual magical creatures to take care of dangit.
